Stacked Cell Manufacturing Method and Apparatus Using the Same

摘要

The stacked cell manufacturing method includes the steps of executing zigzag-folding of a band-like separator by the intermediary of a zigzag-folding mechanism, alternately feeding a positive-plate and a negative-plate onto the separator as folded back every time the separator is folded back by the zigzag-folding. A positive-plate transfer head and a negative-plate transfer head are set so as to alternately undergo a linearly reciprocating transfer in a horizontal direction at least on the table, the direction of a horizontal and reciprocating transfer made by the positive-plate transfer head and the negative-plate transfer head is set to coincide with a folding-back direction of the zigzag-folding of the separator, and a force caused by the horizontal and reciprocating transfer alternately made by each of these transfer heads is imparted to the separator guided onto the table, thereby executing the zigzag-folding while the separator is drawn onto the table.

1. A stacked cell manufacturing method comprising the steps of:
executing zigzag-folding of a band-like separator on a table by the intermediary of a zigzag-folding mechanism; alternately feeding a positive-plate and a negative-plate onto the separator as folded back by the intermediary of a positive-plate feeding-mechanism, and a negative-plate feeding-mechanism every time the separator is folded back by the zigzag-folding; and alternately stacking the positive-plate and the negative-plate on the table with the separator interposed therebetween, wherein a positive-plate transfer head as a part of the positive-plate feeding-mechanism, and a negative-plate transfer head as apart of the negative-plate feeding-mechanism are set so as to alternately undergo a linearly reciprocating transfer in a horizontal direction at least on the table by the intermediary of respective transfer mechanisms in the step of stacking, the direction of a horizontal and reciprocating transfer on the table made by the positive-plate transfer head and the negative-plate transfer head is set to coincide with a folding-back direction of the zigzag-folding of the separator, and a force caused by the horizontal and reciprocating transfer alternately made by each of these transfer heads is imparted to the separator guided onto the table by the intermediary of the positive-plate transfer head and the negative-plate transfer head, respectively, thereby executing the zigzag-folding while the separator is drawn onto the table, and the positive-plate transfer head and the negative-plate transfer head alternately feed the positive-plate and the negative-plate, respectively, onto the table, while executing the zigzag-folding of the separator.
