Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape for connecting a carrier tape for electronic components used for transporting various electronic components such as capacitors.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various electronic components such as an electrolytic capacitor and an IC are transported by a carrier tape for convenience such as automatic wiring and transport.

This carrier tape is, for example, as shown in FIG.
A closing tape 10 for closing the storage recess 6 in which the electronic component 2 is stored is inserted into the emboss tape 8 in which the storage recess 6 for storing the electronic component 2 to be transported is formed by the emboss 4 formed at a constant interval. Is pasted. The carrier tape is formed of a synthetic resin, and a sprocket hole 12 for engaging with a sprocket of an automatic component supply device is formed at an edge of the embossed tape 8.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, it is desirable that the automatic component supply by the carrier tape be continuously supplied to the automatic insertion machine,
For this reason, it has been practiced to cope with a necessary component supply amount by connecting the start end of the carrier tape to the end of the carrier tape.

Also, when storing the electronic components to be conveyed on the carrier tape, when the embossed tape of the carrier tape is cut, it is necessary to join using an adhesive or the like. It is necessary to maintain a constant, and to set a continuous linear body with each edge parallel without bending.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a connection tape for a carrier tape for electronic parts, which simplifies the connection work.

[Means for solving the problem]

That is, the connection tape for an electronic component carrier tape according to the present invention is a connection tape for an electronic component carrier tape for inserting and transporting an electronic component into an embossment (4) formed on a carrier tape (14A, 14B). And a plurality of fixing portions (161) to be bonded to the tape surfaces of the carrier tapes (14A, 14B) to be connected, and a plurality of pitches corresponding to the embossment (4) of the carrier tape and passing the embossment. A through hole (162) is formed.

[Action]

Each carrier tape to be connected is cut within the emboss interval, and the embossing of each carrier tape is maintained at a predetermined pitch, and the through hole of the connecting tape is straddled over the embossing tape to be connected. Through each emboss. Each embossed tape is connected by fixing the fixing portion of the connection tape to the embossed tape surface in the peripheral portion of the embossed portion.

According to such a connecting tape, the embossed tape is firmly fixed by the fixing strength of the fixing portion, and the necessary tensile strength between the connected embossed tapes is secured by the tensile strength of the connecting tape. Is done.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a connecting tape of a carrier tape for electronic parts according to the present invention.

As the two carrier tapes 14A and 14B to be connected, an embossed tape 8 having an embossing 4 of the same standard is used, and an electronic component 2 to be conveyed is housed in a storage recess 6 formed inside the embossing 4. Have been. Each embossed tape 8 has a storage recess 6 closed by a closing tape 10, and a sprocket hole is formed at an edge of the embossed tape 8.
12 are formed at regular intervals.

Connection tape to which each carrier tape 14A, 14B should be connected
16 is formed of a synthetic resin tape or the like, similarly to the carrier tapes 14A and 14B. The connection tape 16 does not block the sprocket holes 12, so that the carrier tapes 14A, 14B
The fixing portion 161 is formed with a slightly smaller width, and the fixing portion 161 has an embossed portion 4 on the side of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B.
And a plurality of through holes 162 corresponding to the pitch of the embossment 4 are formed. Fixed surface of fixed part 161
For example, an adhesive having an adhesive property with the embossed tape 8 is applied to the 163 as a fixing means.

With the above configuration, each carrier tape 14 to be connected is
After cutting A and 14B at portions other than the four embossed portions, that is, within the interval, the sides to be connected are arranged facing each other, and the embossed portions of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B are inserted into the through holes 162 of the connecting tape 16. 4, the connecting tape 16 is fixed to the surface of each embossed tape 8 of each of the carrier tapes 14 and 14B. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B is connected by the connecting tape 16. Connected.

In this case, it is desirable that the ends of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B on the fixing portion side be perpendicular to the edges of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B. Direction edges of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B are fixed by aligning the edges in the direction with the edges of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B, and connecting the carrier tapes 14A and 14B, thereby achieving
That is, the edge portions between the carrier tapes 14A and 14B can be kept parallel. Carrier tapes 14A and 14B to be connected
Each sprocket hole 12 can be used to maintain the linearity of the sprocket.

Then, at the connection portion of the carrier tapes 14A and 14B connected and integrated by the connection tape 16 in this manner, the interval between the embosses 4 is set at a constant pitch similarly to the carrier tape 14A or the carrier tape 14B. At the same time, the strength of the fixing portion 161 of the connection tape 16, that is, since each emboss 4 is inserted through each through hole 162, the carrier tape 1 is formed by the emboss 4 and the fixing portion 161.
Tensile strength equivalent to the strength of 4A and 14B is obtained.

The carrier tape 14 to which the connection tape 16 is to be connected
If it is made of the same material and color as A and 14B,
The carrier tapes 14A, 14B and the connection tape 16 can be integrated to such an extent that they cannot be distinguished, and the appearance of the product is not spoiled.

In the embodiment, the case where the adhesive is applied to the connection tape 16 is described as an example of the means for fixing the connection tape 16 and the embossed tape 8.
In addition to such adhesives, heat sealing, stapling, snapping,
Various fixing means such as metal pieces can be used, and fixing means according to the material and strength of the carrier tape can be used.

In the embodiment, two through holes 162 are formed in the connection tape 16.
Was formed, but three or more through holes may be formed.
If a sprocket hole does not matter, the sprocket hole may be formed to have a width that closes the sprocket hole.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the carrier tape can be connected with sufficient tensile strength without impairing the emboss interval, and the connection operation can be simplified.
