Unit Cell and Method and Apparatus for Manufacturing A Unit Cell

An apparatus for manufacturing a unit cell, which cuts a lower separator and an upper separator between sets of adjacent electrodes adjacent to each other in a process of manufacturing the unit cell in which the lower separator and the upper separator continuously move in a longitudinal direction;

• and the electrodes are stacked between the lower separator and the upper separator and on the upper separator, respectively, the apparatus comprising:
• a lower block disposed under the lower separator;
• and
• an upper block vertically aligned with the lower block above the upper separator;
• and
• a cutter received in the upper block and accessible to the inside and outside,
• wherein the upper block descends to press the lower and the upper separators to a surface of the lower block, wherein one or both of the upper block and the lower block are heated to a predetermined temperature so that pressed points of the separators are thermally fused, and wherein the cutter protrudes from the upper block to perform cutting at points at which the separators are pressed.
