Cell stacking system for stacking segments of energy cells, method for controlling such a cell stacking system, sub-device of a cell stacking system or in a cell stacking system, and sub-method for producing cell stacks in a cell stacking system

A cell stacking system for stacking segments of energy cells, comprising:

• a feed device which continuously feeds the segments at a feed speed, and
• a discharge device which discharges the segments in stacks,
• at least one cell stacking apparatus which receives the segments from the feed device and transfers the segments in stacked form to the discharge device,
• wherein
• the cell stacking apparatus has at least one removal apparatus and one depositing element, and
• the depositing element comprises a transfer device, a depositing lever and a receptacle which can be moved from a receiving position to a dispensing position and vice versa, wherein
• the depositing lever removes the segments from the removal apparatus and places them in the receptacle arranged in the receiving position, and
• the transfer device is movable from a ready position into a holding position, and wherein
• the transfer device is arranged in the holding position during the movement of the receptacle from the receiving position into the dispensing position and forms an intermediate support for depositing the segments;
• and
• wherein
• a discharge device with a plurality of individually movable transport receptacles is provided, into which the depositing element deposits the stacks.
