Novel device for laminating electrode assembly and secondary battery manufactured using the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a device for laminating an electrode assembly including a cathode, an anode and a separator interposed therebetween laminated in this order by thermal bonding, the device including an inlet, through which a web having the cathode/separator/anode laminate structure is fed, a heater to heat the web and thereby induce thermal bonding between the cathode, the separator and the anode, an outlet through which the thermally bonded web is discharged, and a transporter to transport the web through the inlet, the heater and the outlet, wherein the transporter imparts a transport driving force to the web in a state that the transporter contacts at least one of the top and the bottom of the web and the heater directly heats a region of the transporter contacting the web and thereby transfers thermal bonding energy to the web.
