Electrode tracking device

Abstract

An electrode tracking device for forming a marking on an electrode tab of an electrode being transferred in one direction, or identifying the marking formed on the electrode tab, includes: a tracking part configured to move in at least one of horizontal and vertical directions, and including at least one tracking unit selected from a marker and a reader; a guide part including a first guide with an inclined surface at one end supporting one surface of the electrode tab, and a second guide with an inclined surface positioned corresponding to the inclined surface of the first guide supporting the other surface of the electrode tab; an interlocking part including a first support member coupled to the first guide at one end and to the tracking part so that the other end can slide in upward and downward direction, and a second support member coupled to the second guide at one end and to the tracking part so that the other end can slide in upward and downward direction; and a foreign matter accommodating part open to an upper part, coupled to either the tracking part or the interlocking part.
