Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing a secondary battery. The method for manufacturing the secondary battery, in which a plurality of unit cells are seated on a separator sheet and folded to manufacture a folded cell, comprises: a supply step of allowing the plurality of unit cells to move through a moving unit so as to supply the unit cells toward the separator sheet; and a seating step of allowing the plurality of unit cells to sequentially drop onto a top surface of the separator sheet, wherein the unit cells are seated on the separator sheet so that the unit cells are spaced a set gap value from each other.
Claims11
A method for manufacturing a secondary battery, in which a plurality of unit cells are seated on a separator sheet and folded to manufacture a folded cell, the method comprising:
- moving the plurality of unit cells through a moving unit as-to supply the unit cells toward the separator sheet;
- and
- sequentially dropping the plurality of unit cells onto a top surface of the separator sheet while the separator sheet moves relative to the moving unit between successive drops of the unit cells, so that the unit cells are spaced a predetermined gap distance from each other along the top surface.
An apparatus for manufacturing a secondary battery, in which a plurality of unit cells are seated on a separator sheet and folded to manufacture a folded cell, the apparatus comprising:
- a moving unit configured to move the plurality of unit cells toward the separator sheet;
- and
- a support part configured to sequentially drop the plurality of unit cells onto a top surface of the separator sheet while the separator sheet moves relative to the moving unit between successive drops of the unit cells, so that the unit cells are spaced a predetermined gap distance from each other along the top surface.
