Abstract

There is provided a novel substrate support pin installation jig used when installing a substrate support pin for supporting a circuit substrate. The substrate support pin installation jig (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a jig) according to the present disclosure includes a main body configured to move relative to a support base, multiple pin accommodating portions provided in the main body, and a positioned portion used for positioning on the support base. The substrate support pin is accommodated and held in at least one of multiple pin accommodating portions in the jig. The jig is placed on the support base in a state where a relative position is specified by the positioned portion. By releasing holding of the substrate support pin, the substrate support pin is installed on the support base, and then the jig is removed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A substrate support pin installation jig used for installing at least one substrate support pin supporting a circuit substrate on a support base, the jig comprising:
a main body configured to move relative to the support base, the main body including a front surface with a stepped shape, the front surface including a first surface slidable on a push-up plate supported by the support base;
multiple pin accommodating portions provided in the main body and configured to accommodate multiple substrate support pins including the at least one substrate support pin; and
a holding member including a hole of a first diameter and a hole of a second diameter provided in the main body and configured to be switched between a holding position where each of the multiple substrate support pins accommodated in each of the multiple pin accommodating portions is held by the hole of the first diameter and a non-holding position where each of the multiple substrate support pins is not held by the hole of the second diameter,
wherein the front surface includes a cross-section that is orthogonal to the first surface, the cross-section configured to be contacted by an engagement protrusion attached to an engagement post fixed to the support base, the engagement protrusion moves the main body relative to the support base by sliding along the first surface.

2. The substrate support pin installation jig according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the multiple substrate support pins includes a bottom portion and a tip end portion provided with an engaged portion,
each of multiple pin accommodating portions is a through-hole extending in a longitudinal direction,
the holding member holds each of the multiple substrate support pins by engaging with the engaged portion in a state where the engaged portion protrudes from the through-hole and a bottom surface of the bottom portion is separated from the support base at the holding position, and does not hold the multiple substrate support pins without engaging with the engaged portion at the non-holding position, and
the bottom surface of the substrate support pin is in a state of abutting on the support base at the non-holding position of the holding member.

3. A substrate support pin installation jig comprising:
a main body, the main body including a front surface with a stepped shape, the front surface including a first surface slidable on a push-up plate supported by a support base;
multiple pin accommodating portions that are provided in the main body and that are through-holes configured to accommodate each of multiple substrate support pins; and
a holding member configured to be switched between a holding position where each of the multiple substrate support pins accommodated in each of the multiple pin accommodating portions is held and a non-holding position where the multiple substrate support pins are not held, wherein
the front surface includes a cross-section that is orthogonal to the first surface, the cross-section configured to be contacted by an engagement protrusion attached to an engagement post fixed to the support base, the engagement protrusion moves the main body relative to the support base by sliding along the first surface,
the substrate support pin installation jig configured to install at least one substrate support pin accommodated in at least one of the multiple pin accommodating holes on the support base,
the substrate support pin includes a bottom portion and a tip end portion provided with an engaged portion,
the holding member engages with the engaged portion in a state where the engaged portion of the substrate support pin protrudes from the through-hole and a bottom surface of the bottom portion is separated from the support base at the holding position, and does not engage with the engaged portion of the substrate support pin at the non-holding position, and
the holding member includes a hole of a first diameter and a hole of a second diameter provided in the main body and configured to be switched between the holding position where each of the multiple substrate support pins accommodated in each of the multiple pin accommodating portions is held by the hole of the first diameter and the non-holding position where each of the multiple substrate support pins is not held by the hole of the second diameter.
