Abstract

Disclosed is a carrier tape feeder for a chip mounter. The carrier tape feeder includes: a body part; a rotation part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and rotates by being engaged with a portion of a first carrier tape; a handle part, which is disposed by being separated by a predetermined distance from the outer circumferential surface of the rotation part, is rotatably mounted on the body part, and is selectively engaged with a second carrier tape; and a block part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and exerts a force to the second carrier tape towards the rotation part according to rotation of the handle part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A carrier tape feeder for a chip mounter, comprising:
a body part;
a rotation part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and rotates by being engaged with a portion of a first carrier tape;
a handle part, which is disposed by being separated by a predetermined distance from the outer circumferential surface of the rotation part, is rotatably mounted on the body part, and is selectively engaged with a second carrier tape; and
a block part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and exerts a force to the second carrier tape towards the rotation part according to rotation of the handle part,
wherein the handle part is configured to rotate with respect to the block part by a predetermined distance and is configured to move together with the block part beyond the predetermined distance.

2. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , wherein a first insertion hole is formed on a portion of the first carrier tape, and
wherein the rotation part comprises a gear tooth formed on the outer surface thereof in a protrusion shape and inserted into the first insertion hole.

3. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , wherein a second insertion hole is formed on a portion of the second carrier tape, and
wherein the handle part comprises an insertion protrusion of which a portion protrudes to be selectively inserted into the second insertion hole.

4. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , wherein the handle part comprises a holding part formed for a user to hold.

5. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , wherein the handle part comprises a movement prevention part, which is formed to protrude towards the rotation part and prevents the second carrier tape from moving.

6. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , wherein the handle part and the block part have the same center of rotation.

7. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , wherein the block part is formed of which a surface contacting the second carrier tape is sloped towards a transfer direction of the first carrier tape.

8. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , further comprising a first elastic part mounted between the handle part and the block part to exert a force to the handle part and the block part in a direction in which a portion of the handle part is gradually apart from the block part.

9. The carrier tape feeder of claim 8 , further comprising an expulsion prevention member mounted between the handle part and the block part to prevent the first elastic part from being expelled.

10. The carrier tape feeder of claim 8 , further comprising a second elastic part disposed between the handle part and the body part to exert a force to the handle part in a direction that is opposite to a rotation direction of the handle part when the handle part rotates.

11. The carrier tape feeder of claim 1 , further comprising a connection member for connecting the handle part and the body part to thereby limit a rotation angle of the handle part.

12. A carrier tape feeder for a chip mounter, comprising:
a body part;
a rotation part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and rotates by being engaged with a portion of a first carrier tape;
a handle part, which is disposed by being separated by a predetermined distance from the outer circumferential surface of the rotation part, is rotatably mounted on the body part, and is selectively engaged with a second carrier tape;
a block part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and exerts a force to the second carrier tape towards the rotation part according to rotation of the handle part;
a position limitation part formed on any one of the handle part and the block part to limit rotation of the block part; and
a guide part formed on the other one of the handle part and the block part to guide the position limitation part,
wherein the position limitation part comprises a position limitation protrusion formed to protrude from the outer surface of any one of the handle part and the block part, and
wherein the guide part comprises a guide hole formed on the outer surface of the other one of the handle part and the block part so that the position limitation protrusion is inserted thereinto.

13. The carrier tape feeder of claim 12 , wherein the guide hole is formed in an elongated hole shape.

14. A carrier tape feeder comprising:
a body part in which a single loading port through which a plurality of carrier tapes are loaded and a part absorption part for absorbing parts embedded in the carrier tapes are formed;
a transfer part for transferring a first carrier tape to the part absorption part; and
a carrier tape loading part connected to the transfer part to transfer to the transfer part a second carrier tape subsequently loaded when the first carrier tape is completely transferred to the transfer part, the carrier tape loading part comprising:
a handle part on which an insertion protrusion to be inserted into the second insertion hole of the second carrier tape is formed; and
a block part for engaging the second carrier tape with the transfer part,

wherein the carrier tape loading part restricts the second carrier tape from being transferred to the part absorption part while the first carrier tape is being engaged with the transfer part and connects a second insertion hole of the second carrier tape to the transfer part when the first carrier tape is released from the transfer part, and
wherein the handle part is configured to rotate with respect to the block part by a predetermined distance and is configured to move together with the block part beyond the predetermined distance.

15. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 , wherein an end of the carrier tape loading part is inserted into the second insertion hole formed with a predetermined interval on a side part of the second carrier tape to restrict the transfer of the second carrier tape.

16. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 , wherein an end of the carrier tape loading part is withdrawn from the second insertion hole of the second carrier tape to engage the second carrier tape with the transfer part.

17. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 , wherein the carrier tape loading part is pivotally connected to the body part.

18. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 , wherein the carrier tape loading part is inserted into the second insertion hole of the second carrier tape by pivoting in a direction being far from and then close to the body part when the second carrier tape is loaded to the single loading port.

19. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 , wherein a protruding height of the insertion protrusion is formed to restrict transfer of at least two second carrier tape while the first carrier tape is being engaged with the transfer part.

20. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 , wherein the carrier tape loading part is configured to operate by being linked to the transfer part in a way of transferring the second carrier tape to the part absorption part by rotational driving of the transfer part after the second carrier tape is supplied to the transfer part.

21. The carrier tape feeder of claim 14 ,
wherein the carrier tape loading part operates by being linked to the transfer part in a way of engaging the second carrier tape with the transfer part by the block part after the first carrier tape is released from the transfer part and transferring the second carrier tape to the part absorption part by rotational driving of the transfer part after the second carrier tape is engaged with the transfer part.
