Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus for leadless electronic parts wherein leadless electronic parts 3 supplied through a cylindrical chute 5 are dropped one by one into a part holding hole 7 of a part feeding pusher 6, with the part holding hole having a cutout, the part feeding pusher 6 transports the leadless electronic part 3 between chucks 10 and 11, and then a main block 8 including the chucks 10 and 11 is pivoted such that the leadless electronic parts 3 are taken out and mounted on a mounting portion of a printed circuit board 1 rapidly and reliably.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 305 words
A mounting apparatus for mounting leadless electronic parts on a printed circuit board having conductive patterns by the use of adhesive, comprising: a base; a bearing flange; a vertical movement synchronizing shaft which is mounted on said base through said bearing flange so as to be movable vertically and rotable; a main shaft which is mounted in said vertical movement synchronizing shaft so as to be movable vertically such that said main shaft is coupled with said vertical movement synchronizing shaft in a rotating direction thereof; a pusher rod which is mounted in said main shaft so as to be movable vertically; cam follower guides which are, respectively, provided on said vertical movement synchronizing shaft, said main shaft and said pusher rod for their respective control; a main block which is provided at a lower end of said main shaft; a crankshaft urged at all times to rotate in one direction, which is supported by said main block; a pinion secured to said crankshaft; a rack which is provided on said main block so as to be meshed with said pinion; a stopper which is provided at a lower end of said vertical movement synchronizing shaft so as to control said rack; a chuck body provided with a chuck for gripping the leadless electronic part supplied by a part feeding pusher, which is mounted on said crankshaft; a stripper holder which is mounted in said chuck body at a central portion thereof through a compression spring; and a stripper having a V-groove formed at a lower face thereof, which is fitted into said stripper holder; said stripper being pushed upon downward movement of said pusher rod, whereby the leadless electronic part gripped by said chuck is taken out of said chuck so as to be pressed onto a mounting portion of said printed circuit board.
