Abstract
Disclosed herein is an adsorption device that adsorbs battery cells loaded in a loading bin and sequentially removes and transports the battery cells. The adsorption device includes a base plate capable of moving vertically and horizontally; a suction unit coupled to the base plate for adsorbing a battery cell located at a lower part of the base plate; and a push unit coupled to the base plate for striking the battery cell to produce a vibration in the battery cell adsorbed by the suction unit. The push unit includes a rod that is lifted up and down and strikes the top surface of the adsorbed battery cell to the lower end part, and the rod descends by the elastic force of a spring.

An adsorption device for adsorbing battery cells loaded in a loading bin and sequentially removing and transporting the battery cells, comprising:
- a base plate arranged to move vertically and horizontally;
- a suction unit coupled to the base plate for adsorbing a battery cell located at a lower part of the base plate;
- and
- a push unit coupled to the base plate for striking the battery cell to produce a vibration in the battery cell adsorbed by the suction unit, wherein
- the push unit comprises a rod that is lifted up and down and configured to strike a top surface of the adsorbed battery cell to a lower end part thereof, wherein
- the rod descends by elastic force of a spring member, wherein
- the push unit comprises:
- a cylinder coupled to the base plate, and having an open bottom;
- the rod inserted into the cylinder to linearly reciprocate along a longitudinal direction of the cylinder;
- and
- the spring member, each end of which is coupled to the cylinder and the rod, respectively, and which pushes the rod downwardly,
- the cylinder comprises:
- a plurality of teeth parts, each comprising a protruding tooth blade to have a unidirectional slope along a perimeter of an inner side;
- and
- a groove part downwardly recessed between any one pair of teeth parts, and
- the rod comprises:
- a moving blade protruding from one side of an outer circumferential surface to engage and disengage to the teeth part of the cylinder.
