Abstract: An electrode roll drying device includes a drying oven housing an electrode roll, an outer-side heater configured to heat the electrode roll, an axial-side heater configured to heat the electrode roll, a pressure reducer configured to reduce internal pressure of the drying oven, a sensor configured to detect a temperature of an outermost portion of the electrode roll, and a control unit configured to control operation of the outer-side heater, the axial-side heater, and the pressure reducer. The control unit is configured to operate the outer-side heater and the axial-side heater to heat the electrode roll from the outer-side and winding core side, and, when the temperature of an outermost portion reaches a target temperature, stop operation of the outer-side heater, operate the pressure reducer to reduce the pressure within the drying oven, and carry out the heating by the axial-side heater and the pressure reduction by the pressure reducer.

Abstract: A conveyor is provided with a supply roll, a corrective holding part and an additional holding part. The supply roll rotatably supports a belt-shaped cell material for an electrode or a separator. The corrective holding part conveys and holds the cell material fed out from the supply roll while bending a first side surface of the cell material that lies against an outer peripheral side of the supply roll into a concave shape. The additional holding part conveys and holds the cell material while bending a second side surface of the cell material into a concave shape. The holding parts include a curved contact surfaces that contact opposite side surface of the cell material. The curved contact surface of the corrective holding part has a radius of curvature that is less than a radius of curvature of the curved contact surface of the additional holding part.

Abstract: A conveyor is provided with a supply roll, a plurality of movement parts and a first securing device. The supply roll is rotatably arranged and is configured to support a belt-shaped cell material for an electrode or a separator to intermittently feeding out the cell material by rotation of the supply roll. The movement parts are configured to lengthen and shorten a conveying route by conveyably holding the cell material fed out from the supply roll. The first securing device is configured to secure the cell material. The first securing device is provided upstream from the movement parts along a direction in which the cell material is conveyed. The movement parts are further configured to change position so as to shorten the conveying route in a state in which the cell material is secured by the first securing device.
