Apparatus for manufacturing electrode assembly, electrode assembly manufactured therethrough, and secondary battery

An apparatus for manufacturing an electrode assembly, comprising:

• a conveyor configured to allow an electrode to travel;
• and
• a cutter configured to cut the traveling electrode to a predetermined size,
• wherein the cutter comprises:
• an upper cutting blade disposed above the electrode;
• an upper eccentric driver configured to eccentrically drive the upper cutting blade;
• a lower cutting blade disposed below the electrode in a direction corresponding to the upper cutting blade;
• a lower eccentric driver configured to eccentrically drive the lower cutting blade,
• an upper mounting block on which the upper cutting blade is mounted;
• and
• a lower mounting block on which the lower cutting blade is mounted,
• wherein the upper mounting block and the lower mounting block are driven by the upper eccentric driver and the lower eccentric driver, respectively,
• wherein the upper eccentric driver comprises:
• an upper eccentric block of which a first side is coupled to the upper mounting block;
• and
• an upper rotating part to which a second side of the upper eccentric block is coupled,
• wherein the upper eccentric block is rotated through the upper rotating part,
• wherein the upper mounting block is rotatably coupled to the upper eccentric block so as to be eccentric with respect to a rotation shaft of the upper rotating part,
• wherein the lower eccentric driver comprises:
• a lower eccentric block of which a first side is coupled to the lower mounting block;
• and
• a lower rotating part to which a second side of the lower eccentric block is coupled,
• wherein the lower eccentric block is rotated through the lower rotating part, and
• wherein the lower mounting block is rotatably coupled to the lower eccentric block so as to be eccentric with respect to a rotation shaft of the lower rotating part.
