Reel holding device
A reel holding device is provided. The device includes: a case which accommodates the plurality of component supply reels to be aligned in a direction of a reel axial line; outer circumferential support members which are built between two sides walls of the case, and support outer circumferences of the multiple component supply reels to be rotatable; and a deviation preventing member which prevents the component supply reels from deviating from the outer circumferential support members. At least one of the outer circumferential support members and the deviation preventing member is an integrated rod-like member which is built between the two side walls.
1. A reel holding device configured for use with a feeder device that collects components at a supply position by sending out a component storage tape which stores each of the components in a plurality of component storage sections, and holds a plurality of component supply reels around which component storage tapes are respectively wound to be rotatable and exchangeable, the device comprising:
a case which accommodates the plurality of component supply reels to be aligned in a direction of a reel axial line;
outer circumferential support members between two sides walls of the case, that support outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels to be rotatable such that the reel axial lines are substantially rotational symmetric to each other; and
a deviation preventing member between the two side walls, that faces the outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels, and that prevents the component supply reels from deviating from the outer circumferential support members,
wherein at least one of the outer circumferential support members and the deviation preventing member is an integrated rod-like member which includes a smooth surface that abuts against the outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels and is between the two side walls, and
wherein the integrated rod-like member is a freely rotatable rod-like roller member, and includes a diameter-reducing section which is wider than a thickness of reel flanges that respectively form ends of the component supply reels, and that is narrower than a separation distance of the reel flanges.
2. The reel holding device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the outer circumferential support members and the deviation preventing member are the integrated rod-like members having the same shape, or the rod-like roller members having the same shape.
3. The reel holding device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the deviation preventing member guides the sending of the component storage tape to the feeder device.
4. A reel holding device configured for use with a feeder device that collects components at a supply position by sending out a component storage tape which stores each of the components in a plurality of component storage sections, and holds a plurality of component supply reels around which component storage tapes are respectively wound to be rotatable and exchangeable, the device comprising:
a case which accommodates the plurality of component supply reels to be aligned in a direction of a reel axial line;
outer circumferential support members between two sides walls of the case, that support outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels to be rotatable such that the reel axial lines are substantially rotational symmetric to each other; and
a deviation preventing member between the two side walls, that faces the outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels, and that prevents the component supply reels from deviating from the outer circumferential support members,
wherein at least one of the outer circumferential support members and the deviation preventing member is an integrated rod-like member which includes a smooth surface that abuts against the outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels and is between the two side walls, and
wherein two of the outer circumferential support members support a lower part of the outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels to be rotatable,
wherein the deviation preventing member faces an upper part of the outer circumferences of the plurality of component supply reels, and
wherein a reel putting-in/out section which puts in and out the component supply reel with a separation distance which is greater than an outer diameter of the component supply reel, is formed between any one of the outer circumferential support members and the deviation preventing member.
5. The reel holding device according to claim 4 , further comprising:
two groups of the two outer circumferential support members, the deviation preventing member, and the reel putting-in/out section.
