Chip component supply equipment.

摘要

The chip component supply equipment of the invention comprises: a container box 2 for storing chip components 1 in pieces, means for conveying chip components 1 from the container box 2 onto a conveyor belt 7, a conveyor belt 7 moving intermittently for conveying the transferred chip components 1 toward a take-out port where a vacuum suction nozzle 15 of an electronic component placement machine takes out chip components, and a stopper 12 positioned at the take-out port for stopping the chip components 1 conveyed by the conveyor belt 7 at the take-out port, wherein the stopper 12 moves and departs from the take-out port when the conveyor belt 7 finishes intermittent motion and stops, and returns and is positioned at the take-out port before the next chip component 1 conveyed by next intermittent motion of the conveyor belt 7 reaches the take-out port. The vacuum suction nozzle of the electronic component placement machine takes out the chip component at the take-out port when the conveyor belt is stopped and the stopper is apart from the take-out port. Since the conveyor belt 7 is stopped, the chip component at the take-out port is not pushed by the succeeding chip component or is not moved by the vibration of the conveyor belt 7. This facilitates the work of the vacuum suction nozzle to take out the chip component. Furthermore, since the stopper is apart from the take-out part, there is no risk of interference of the vacuum suction nozzle and the chip component to be taken out with the stopper, and irregular chip components will not cause jamming in the take-out port. The benefits also contribute to the ease of work of the vacuum suction nozzle to take out the chip components. <IMAGE>
