Abstract
An electrode assembly alignment device of the present disclosure may comprise: a carrier for supporting an electrode assembly; a lifting unit including at least one pressing unit for spacing the electrode assembly apart from the carrier; a sensor unit for detecting the location of the electrode assembly; and an alignment unit connected to the lifting unit, and configured to move based on the position of the electrode assembly detected by the sensor unit. The alignment unit can move relative to the carrier together with the electrode assembly and the lifting unit when the electrode assembly is spaced apart from the carrier.
Claims15
An electrode assembly alignment device, comprising:
- a carrier configured to support an electrode assembly;
- a lifting unit including at least one pressing unit configured to separate the electrode assembly from the carrier;
- a sensor unit configured to detect a position of the electrode assembly;
- and
- an alignment unit connected to the lifting unit, and configured to move based on the position of the electrode assembly detected by the sensor unit,
- wherein the alignment unit is configured to move relatively to the carrier together with the at least one pressing unit supporting the electrode assembly while the electrode assembly is spaced apart from the carrier.
An electrode assembly alignment method, comprising:
- a carrier moving process of moving a carrier on which an electrode assembly is mounted;
- a sensing process of detecting a position of at least one of the electrode assembly and the carrier using a sensor unit;
- a movement amount determination process of determining an alignment position of the electrode assembly based on relative position information of the electrode assembly relative to the carrier obtained in the sensing process;
- a pressing process of moving the electrode assembly in a first direction relative to the carrier using a lifting unit;
- and
- an alignment process of moving the lifting unit supporting the electrode assembly based on the alignment position, while the electrode assembly is spaced apart from the carrier in the first direction.
