Abstract: A disclosed heater for a sealing process of a secondary battery includes: a sealing bar heating and pressing a pouch foil to be sealed; a plurality of sub-heating unit longitudinally disposed inside the sealing bar to respectively independently supply heat to a plurality of sections separated in the longitudinal direction of the sealing bar; temperature sensing units disposed inside the sealing bar and sensing temperature at positions on the surfaces being in contact with the pouch foil; and a control unit controlling heating temperature of the plurality of sub-heating units on the basis of the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing units.

Abstract: A disclosed sizing roller apparatus for a folding process of a battery cell includes: a table fixing and supporting a battery cell; a base plate disposed on a side of the table; a plurality of sizing rollers disposed on the base plate and each having a rotation axis, which is inclined inward toward a folding portion of the battery cell, to press the folding portion of the battery cell in contact with the folding portion; and a plurality of air spray nozzles disposed on the base plate and spraying air to the plurality of sizing rollers.

Abstract: There is provided a secondary battery cell supply apparatus for a process of folding a secondary battery cell, including: a first device configured to grip a secondary battery cell for a cell folding process received in a tray and raise the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process vertically upward; a second device configured to grip the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process gripped by the first device and transfer the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process in a transverse direction when the first device releases the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process; and a third device configured to grip the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process gripped by the second device, rotate the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process, and move the secondary battery cell for a cell folding process upward and downward.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for folding a pouch for a secondary battery, the apparatus including: a forming means configured to gradually bend and fold an edge of a pouch-type secondary battery so that the edge has a target cross-sectional shape; a support means configured to support the forming means; and first to fourth gap spacers having various thicknesses, formed in a flat plate shape, and configured to be interposed between the forming means and the support means to align the forming means.

Abstract: There is provided a secondary battery cell transfer apparatus for a process of folding a secondary battery cell, including: multiple stations disposed at an equal interval and sequentially disposed in a straight process direction; tables provided in the multiple stations, respectively, and configured to vacuum-grip and support the secondary battery cell from below the secondary battery cell; transfer bars provided in the multiple stations, respectively; vacuum gripping units provided in the table and the transfer bar, respectively, and configured to selectively apply vacuum gripping force to the secondary battery cell; a lifting unit configured to operate a lifting operation of the transfer bar; and a straight transfer drive unit configured to operate a straight reciprocating motion of the transfer bar, in which productivity may be improved by reducing the tact time for a folding process.
