Abstract
The present invention is to provide an electrode supply device, an electrode assembly manufacturing apparatus using the electrode supply device, an electrode supply method, and an electrode assembly manufacturing method using the electrode supply method.
Claims13
An electrode supply device comprising:
- a magazine unit in which a plurality of electrodes are stored;
- an electrode pickup unit configured to pick up and convey an uppermost electrode of the plurality of electrodes stored inside the magazine unit;
- and
- a stuck-electrodes separation unit configured to receive one or more electrodes from the electrode pickup unit;
- detect whether the one or more electrodes are stuck without being separated;
- and separate stuck electrodes,
- wherein the stuck-electrodes separation unit is configured to separate two or more electrodes from each other when two or more electrodes are picked up from the magazine unit without being separated by the electrode pickup unit.
4 more elements
An electrode supply method comprising:
- (step a) picking up an uppermost electrode among electrodes stacked inside a magazine unit with an electrode pickup unit;
- (step b) moving the electrode picked up by the electrode pickup unit to a stuck-electrodes separation unit;
- (step c) detecting whether electrodes placed on the stuck-electrodes separation unit are stuck without being separated;
- (step d) holding a lowermost electrode of the electrodes when it is detected that the electrodes are stuck without being separated;
- and
- (step e) conveying and supplying, by the electrode pickup unit, an electrode not held by the stuck-electrodes separation unit to a stack table side.
