Abstract

A component supply device includes an introduction sprocket that rotates with an outer peripheral pin engaged with a feed hole of a carrier tape on a conveyance path, thereby conveying the carrier tape, and a wheel that has a plurality of recesses on an outer periphery, and receives the outer peripheral pin of the rotating introduction sprocket by the recess to rotate in accordance with rotation of the introduction sprocket. A contact surface of the outer peripheral pin contacting an inner surface of the recess and a contacted surface with which the outer peripheral pin contacts out of the inner surface of the recess are both formed of flat surfaces, and the contact surface and the contacted surface come into line contact with each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A component supply device that supplies a component to a component supply position using a component supply tape including a base tape and a cover tape, the base tape having a storage part storing the component, the cover tape being attached to the base tape to cover the storage part, the component supply device comprising:
a frame including a conveyance path for the component supply tape;
a sprocket that is provided in the frame, includes a pin, and rotates with the pin engaged with a feed hole of the component supply tape on the conveyance path to convey the component supply tape; and
a disk-shaped member that rotates in accordance with rotation of the sprocket, wherein
the disk-shaped member includes a recess that is provided on an outer periphery of the disk-shaped member, and
the pin of the rotating sprocket passes through the feed hole of the component supply tape and comes into contact with the recess of the disk-shaped member to rotate the disk-shaped member.

2. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein a contact surface of the pin contacting an inner surface of the recess and a contacted surface with which the pin contacts out of the inner surface of the recess are both flat surfaces, and the contact surface and the contacted surface come into line contact with each other.

3. The component supply device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transmission gear driven by the disk-shaped member; and
a cover tape peeling mechanism driven through the transmission gear to peel the cover tape from the base tape.

4. The component supply device according to claim 3 , wherein the cover tape peeling mechanism includes
a peeling part that includes a first rotation body and a second rotation body that rotate in a contact state, and sandwiches and feeds a cover tape to peel the cover tape from a base tape,
an ejection part that includes the first rotation body and a third rotation body that rotate in a contact state, and sandwiches and feeds a cover tape fed from the peeling part to eject the cover tape, and
a guide part that guides a cover tape peeled from a base tape by the peeling part to advance in a route toward a contact portion between the first rotation body and the third rotation body.

5. The component supply device according to claim 4 , wherein in a case where after a rear portion of a cover tape received by the ejection part from the peeling part passes through the guide part, the ejection part feeds back the cover tape, the guide part guides the rear portion of the cover tape toward a direction different from the route.

6. The component supply device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the first rotation body, the second rotation body, and the third rotation body includes a gear.

7. The component supply device according to claim 2 , further comprising a housing part that houses a cover tape ejected by the cover tape peeling mechanism.

8. The component supply device according to claim 3 , wherein the transmission gear is provided concentrically with the disk-shaped member.

9. The component supply device according to claim 8 , wherein a slip clutch is interposed between the transmission gear and the disk-shaped member.

10. The component supply device according to claim 4 , wherein the first rotation body rotates integrally with the transmission gear around an axis of a shaft of the transmission gear.
