(Processes in FIGS. 4A and 4B) The negative electrode plate 6 supplied from the stopper part 8 on the conveyor 2 to the loading positioning section 9 is held by the negative electrode plate loading arm 11 and moved to the loading section 10. At this time, the swing arm 15 moves together with the movement of the negative electrode plate loading arm 11 to position the separator 13 on the loading section 10. Note that the negative electrode plate loading arm 11 and the positive electrode plate loading arm 12 are provided with an air suction section, and can attract and carry the negative electrode plate 6 and the positive electrode plate 7.

(Processes in FIG. 4 B to C) The negative electrode plate loading arm 11 has a function of maintaining a constant stacking height by inserting the negative electrode plate 6 from above the separator 13 located in the loading portion 10. The negative electrode plate 6 and separator 13 are loaded at the same time. At this time, the other positive electrode plate loading arm 12 is moving below the conveyor 2, and the positive electrode plate 7 is supplied from the stopper part 8 to the loading positioning part 9.

(Processes in FIG. 4 C to D) The positive electrode plate loading arm 12 moves to the loading section 10 while holding the positive electrode plate 7 supplied to the loading positioning section 9. At this time, the swing arm 15 moves together with the movement of the positive electrode plate loading arm 12 to position the separator 13 on the loading section 10.

(Steps D to A in FIG. 4) The positive electrode plate loading arm 12 has a function of maintaining a constant stacking height by inserting the positive electrode plate 7 from above the separator 13 located in the loading portion 10. The positive electrode plate 7 and the separator 13 are loaded at the same time. At this time, the other negative electrode plate loading arm 11 has moved below the conveyor 2 and has moved from the stopper part 8 to the loading positioning part 9.
The negative electrode plate 6 is supplied to.

By repeating the above steps, a predetermined number of positive and negative electrode plates and continuous separators are stacked to complete an electrode plate group. Note that the number of electrode plates can be set arbitrarily.

(2) The separator 150 is supplied to the stacking station 170 by the folding section 100, and the separator 150 is folded in the opposite direction by the folding section 100. When folding the separator 150, the swinging section 120 performs a swinging operation in synchronization with the folding operation of the folding section 100 which is sucking the separator.

After a preset number of anode plates are supplied through a cycle of anode plate supply-separator folding and cathode plate supply, the operation of cathode plate supply-separator folding and spacer supply is performed, and the separator is cut by the separator cutting section 110. While stacking battery elements, the stacking station 170 lowers step by step after each battery element is supplied so that the distance between the uppermost battery element and the separator delivery section 130 is always the same. The completed electrode plate group completed on the stacking station 170 is transferred to the discharge conveyor 7.
