Abstract: A sealing apparatus for a secondary battery is disclosed, the sealing apparatus configured to seal a battery case of the secondary battery with an electrode assembly therein. The sealing apparatus comprises: a pair of sealing blocks which press the outer circumferential surface of the battery case; and a heating unit which is provided in the pair of sealing blocks and heat the pair of sealing blocks. The pair of sealing blocks comprise: lead sealing regions configured to press the lead sealing portion of the battery case; and case sealing regions configured to press the case sealing portion of the battery case. The heating unit heats the lead sealing regions and the case sealing regions of the pair of sealing blocks at different temperatures.

Abstract: An electrode assembly is provided. The electrode assembly includes a separator sheet, which is formed in a single sheet shape. The separator sheet includes a first folding folded to one side and a second folding folded to the other side. The first folding and the second folding are repeated at certain intervals to form separators. Unit cells, which are formed by stacking a plurality of electrodes and the separators, are respectively disposed in a plurality of first spaces formed by the first folding of the separator sheet. Independent electrodes, are respectively disposed in a plurality of second spaces formed by the second folding of the separator sheet and have a first polarity.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a method for connecting electrode sheets in a roll-to-roll process, and the method includes: arranging a flexible connection sheet of a predetermined length between a first electrode sheet and a second electrode sheet; connecting the first electrode sheet to the flexible connection sheet by attaching one side of the first electrode sheet to one side of the flexible connection sheet using a first tape; and connecting the second electrode sheet to the flexible connection sheet by attaching one side of the second electrode sheet to the other side of the flexible connection sheet using a second tape. Further, the present technology relates to an electrode sheet manufactured by manufactured by the method of connecting electrode sheets.

Abstract: Discussed is an including a transfer unit transferring an electrode sheet having a plurality of notching grooves formed in a side surface thereof to a cutting point via a measuring point, wherein, when a front notching groove which is disposed at a front end in the electrode sheet is passing through the cutting point, a notching groove disposed in a rear end of the front notching groove is configured to pass through the measuring point; a detection unit at the measuring point to detect the notching groove passing through the measuring point and generating a notching groove detection signal; and a cutting unit at the cutting point to cut the electrode sheet according to the notching groove detection signal generated by the detection unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode heating device that dries an electrode. The electrode heating device comprises a heating body having a drying space through which the electrode passes, and a heating member that directly heats and dries a surface of the electrode that passes through the drying space to remove moisture from the electrode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode mounting unit comprising: a mounting member comprising a horizontal plate, a vertical plate disposed on a top surface of the horizontal plate, and a shaft which is fixed to the vertical plate and into which an electrode roll is fitted to be mounted; and an unwinding prevention member disposed between the electrode wound around the electrode roll and the horizontal plate to support the electrode wound around the electrode roll so as to prevent the electrode wound around the electrode roll from being unwound.

Abstract: A battery cell manufacturing apparatus for forming a sealing surplus portion includes a cradle configured to fix and mount a battery cell; one or more induction heating coils formed by winding an electrical wire at least one time at a position corresponding to an outer periphery of a pouch type case to generate an induced current in the outer periphery on which the sealing surplus portion is to be formed; a power supply configured to supply an alternating current to the induction heating coils; and at least two pressing members configured to press both sides of the outer periphery on which the sealing surplus portion is to be formed, wherein the outer periphery is induction-heated by a magnetic field generated in the induction heating coils and up to a temperature at which heat fusion is possible to form the sealing surplus portion.
