    [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
    [0002] The present invention relates to a spool holder structure for a wire bonder which holds a spool around which a wire is wound. [0002]
    [0003] 2. Prior Art [0003]
    [0004] Wire bonders form a ball by the discharge of a discharge electrode on the tip end of a wire that passes through a capillary. In this case, it is necessary that the initial end of the wire, which is wound on a spool, be grounded. [0004]
    [0005] The structure described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2550162 may be cited as a conventional example of a grounding structure for the initial end of a wire. This structure includes a contact plate which is fastened to a motor attachment plate so that the contact plate is pressed against the holder shaft of the spool holder by an elastic force. The contact plate has two contact parts, and one end of each contact part is a fixed part while the other end is free or not fixed. These two contact parts are formed so as to press against both side of the holder shaft so that the free ends of the contact parts are oriented in the direction of rotation of the holder shaft. [0005]
    [0006] In the above-described prior art, the contact parts are pressed against the holder shaft by an elastic force. Accordingly, the portions of the contact parts that contact the holder shaft become worn by friction. Thus, there are problems in terms of durability. [0006] BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a spool holder structure for a wire bonder that can extend the useful life of the spool holder structure. [0007]
    [0008] The above object is accomplished by a unique structure of the present invention for a spool holder structure equipped with a spool holder that holds a spool around which a wire is wound, a holder fastening shaft consisting of an insulating material that is fastened to the inner circumference of the holder shaft of the spool holder, and a motor that has an output shaft fastened to the holder fastening shaft; and in the present invention, the holder shaft is rotatably supported via a conductive bearing that is fastened to an attachment plate, and the conductive bearing is grounded. [0008]
    [0009] The above object is further accomplished by another unique structure of the present invention for a spool holder structure equipped with a spool holder that holds a spool around which a wire is wound, a holder fastening shaft consisting of an insulating material that is fastened to the inner circumference of the holder shaft of the spool holder, a motor that has an output shaft fastened to the holder fastening shaft, and an attachment plate to which the motor is mounted; and in the present invention, the inner race of a conductive bearing is fastened to the outer circumference of the holder shaft, the outer race of the conductive bearing is fastened to the attachment plate via a bearing holder, and the bearing holder is grounded. [0009]
    [0010] In the above structures, it is preferable that the motor is grounded. [0010] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
    [0011] FIG. 1 is a partially sectional front view of one embodiment of the spool holder structure for a wire bonder according to the present invention. [0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0012] In FIG. 1, a spool [0012] 2 on which a wire 1 is wound in multiple turns is mounted on the spool attachment part 3 a of a spool holder 3 that consists of a conductive material. A holder shaft 4 that consists of a conductive material is fastened to the central part of the spool holder 3 by a screw 5. A holder fastening shaft 6 that consists of an insulating material is inserted into the space inside the inner circumference of the holder shaft 4, and this holder fastening shaft 6 is fastened to the holder shaft 4 by a screw 7. The output shaft 8 a of a motor 8 is fastened to the holder fastening shaft 6 by a screw 9. The motor 8 is mounted on an attachment plate 11 (consisting of an insulating material) by a screw 12 via a supporting column 10. The attachment plate 11 is fastened to a fixing section (not shown) of a bonder or a wire bonding apparatus.
    [0013] A wire initial end fastening holder [0013] 15 that consists of a conductive material is attached to the opposite surface of the spool holder 3 from the spool attachment part 3 a. A fixed damper 16 is fastened to the wire initial end fastening holder 15, and a movable damper 17 is inserted into the fixed damper 16 so that the movable damper 17 is slidable. The movable damper 17 has a clamping part 17 a so as to face the end surface of the fixed damper 16, and this clamping part 17 a is urged by a spring 18 so that the clamping part 17 a is pressed against the end surface of the fixed clamper 16. The structure described above is substantially the same as that of a conventional device.
    [0014] Next, the structure that characterizes the present invention will be described. [0014]
    [0015] A conductive bearing [0015] 25 (also called a “current-carrying bearing”) is mounted on the holder shaft 4. The conductive bearing 25 is, at both ends of its inner race 25 a, held by the holder shaft 4 and holder fastening shaft 6 so that the conductive bearing 25 is fastened to the holder shaft 4. The outer race 25 a′ of the conductive bearing 25 is fastened to a bearing holder 26, and this bearing holder 26 is fastened to the attachment plate 11 by a screw 27. An electrical connection terminal 28 is connected at one end thereof to the bearing holder 26 by a screw 29, and another end of this electrical connection terminal 28 is connected to the ground of a ball forming device (not shown); in other words, the terminal 28 is grounded.
    [0016] A ground wire [0016] 30 is connected at one end thereof to the motor 8 by a screw 31, and another end of this ground wire 30 is connected to the wire bonding apparatus (not shown).
    [0017] The operation will be described below. [0017]
    [0018] The spool [0018] 2 is mounted on the spool attachment part 3 a of the spool holder 3 so that the initial end 1 a of the wire 1 is positioned in the vicinity of the clamping part 17 a of the movable damper 17. Then, the movable clamper 17 is pushed with the finger so that the clamping part 17 a is separated from the end surface of the fixed damper 16, and the initial end 1 a of the wire 1 is placed against the end surface of the fixed clamper 16. When the movable clamper 17 is released, the movable damper 17 is caused to return to its original position by the spring 18, and thus the initial end la of the wire 1 is held by the fixed damper 16 and movable damper 17. As a result, the wire 1 is electrically connected to the electrical connection terminal 28 via the fixed damper 16, movable damper 17, wire initial end fastening holder 15, spool holder 3, holder shaft 4, conductive bearing 25 and bearing holder 26, so that the wire I is grounded.
    [0019] As seen from the above, the inner race [0019] 25 a of the conductive bearing 25 is fastened to the outer circumference of the holder shaft 4, the outer race 25 a′ of the conductive bearing 25 is fastened to the attachment plate 11 via the bearing holder 26, and the bearing holder 26 is grounded. Accordingly, there are no parts that can be worn by friction as in conventional devices, and the useful life of constituting elements can be extended. Furthermore, since the ground (or earth ground) of the wire 1 is separated from the ground (earth ground) of the motor 8, noise emitted by the motor 8 can be eliminated.
    [0020] In the above embodiment, the holder shaft [0020] 4 is a separate member from the spool holder 3. These elements, however, can be formed as a single integral member. Moreover, in the embodiment above, the initial end la of the wire 1 is clamped by the fixed damper 16 and movable damper 17. However, the initial end l a of the wire 1 can be directly fastened to the spool holder 3.
    [0021] As seen from the above, the present invention relates to a spool holder structure comprising a spool holder that holds a spool around which a wire is wound, a holder fastening shaft made of an insulating material that is fastened to the inner circumference of the holder shaft of the spool holder, and a motor that has an output shaft fastened to the holder fastening shaft; and in the present invention, the holder shaft is rotatably supported by a conductive bearing that is fastened to an attachment plate and is grounded. Accordingly, the spool holder structure of the present invention can provide an extended useful life. [0021]
