Abstract
A separator supply device is provided. The separator supply device includes a frame, a separator supply portion mounted on the frame, and including a first reel mounting portion configured to accommodate a first reel configured to be wound with a first separator, and a second reel mounting portion configured to accommodate a second reel, spaced apart from the first reel, and configured to be wound with a second separator, and a separator connection portion configured to adsorb an end of the first separator unwound from the first reel and an end of the second separator unwound from the second reel and to connect the first separator to the second separator.
Claims19
A separator supply device comprising:
- a frame;
- a separator supply portion mounted on the frame, the separator supply portion including:
- a first reel mounting portion configured to accommodate a first reel configured to be wound with a first separator;
- and a second reel mounting portion configured to accommodate a second reel spaced apart from the first reel and configured to be wound with a second separator;
- and
- a separator connection portion configured to:
- adsorb an end of the first separator unwound from the first reel and an end of the second separator unwound from the second reel;
- and connect the first separator to the second separator,
- wherein the separator connection portion includes:
- a first connection portion including:
- a first adsorption portion configured to adsorb an end of the first separator;
- a first cutting portion configured to cut the first separator attached to the first adsorption portion;
- and a first body portion configured to connect the first adsorption portion and the first cutting portion to each other;
- and
- a second connection portion including:
- a second adsorption portion configured to adsorb an end of the second separator;
- a second cutting portion configured to cut the second separator attached to the second adsorption portion;
- and a second body portion configured to connect the second adsorption portion and the second cutting portion to each other.
A separator supply method comprising:
- discharging a first separator using a first reel configured to be wound with the first separator thereon;
- moving a second connection portion including a second adsorption portion in a first direction to attach a connecting tape to a second separator spaced apart from the first separator;
- moving the second connection portion in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- cutting the first separator using a first cutting portion;
- rotating the second connection portion so that the second adsorption portion attached to the second separator faces a first adsorption portion attached to the first separator;
- attaching the connecting tape to the first separator and the second separator using a first connection portion including the first adsorption portion and the second connection portion including the second adsorption portion;
- and
- discharging the second separator using a second reel configured to be wound with the second separator thereon.
