Powder supplying device and electrode manufacturing apparatus

An electrode manufacturing apparatus comprising:

• a powder supplying device that includes i) a case in which a storage portion is formed as a cavity for temporarily storing powder that is a substance to be supplied, the case having an inlet formed in an upper end of the storage portion, the inlet being an opening for filling the powder, and the case having an outlet formed in a lower end of the storage portion, the outlet being a rectangular opening for discharging the powder;
• ii) a rotor that is arranged in the case and that transports the powder in the storage portion to the outlet by rotating;
• and iii) a mesh body that covers a lower end of the outlet and through which the powder that has been transported to the outlet passes, a receiving member that is an object to which the powder is supplied being displaced horizontally vertically below the outlet, and the powder supplying device supplying the powder, while dropping the powder from the outlet, onto an upper surface of the receiving member;
• a transport device that transports the receiving member;
• a press device that presses the receiving member that has been supplied with the powder by the powder supplying device and transported by the transport device,
• wherein the rotor has a brush-like shape, with a plurality of hair members radially implanted pointing radially outward with an axial center of the rotor as the center.
