A conventional electrode panel separating apparatus used for such a purpose has a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, the above-mentioned electrode plate panel separating device is wound around a pair of sprockets 8 and fed in the direction of the arrow shown in the drawing, and a pair of transport chain conveyors 7 wound around a pair of sprockets 9 and the arrow shown in the diagram. It has a pair of chain conveyors 10 for supply to the next process, which are fed in the direction, and a pair of vacuum suction pads 11 for separation.

Is transported toward the vacuum suction pad 11 in a suspended state suspended on both sides. When the vacuum suction pad 11 connected to a vacuum generating device (not shown) such as a vacuum device is reciprocated in a direction shown by an arrow in FIG. 10 by a well-known reciprocating mechanism, and advances to the left in FIG. Then, after being pressed into contact with the suction portions 1a indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Then, it retreats to the right in FIG. As a result, the vacuum suction pad 11 separates and removes only one of the foremost electrode plate panels that has been sucked from the rear electrode plate 1.

なっている。However, the above-mentioned electrode plate panel separating apparatus has the following three problems. That is, the first problem is that since the reciprocating mechanism of the vacuum suction pad 11 and the vacuum generator are required, the configuration is relatively large. For this reason, despite the fact that each electrode panel 1 is overlapped with each other to effectively utilize the space, the effect is lost.

が発生し易い。As a second problem, for example, when a small hole is formed in the suction portion 1a of the electrode panel 1, two poles of the foremost part and the rear part are formed through this hole. The plate panel 1 is simultaneously sucked by the vacuum suction pad 11, and a separation error occurs. In addition, it is necessary to reciprocate the vacuum suction pads 11 on both sides at the same timing and make the vacuum suction pads 11 adhere to the electrode plate panel 1 at the same timing. The separation operation becomes unstable, and a separation error easily occurs.

Since the length must be set short, it is difficult to obtain the degree of vacuum necessary for sucking the electrode plate panel 1 with the vacuum suction pad 11, and the probability of occurrence of suction error increases. Therefore, in the above-described electrode plate panel separating apparatus, the separation speed of the electrode plate panel 1 is limited, and the speed cannot be increased.

I can guide you. Therefore, the occurrence of damage during the separating operation of the electrode plate panels can be more reliably prevented, and a gap can be smoothly and quickly formed between each two adjacent electrode plate panels, thereby reliably performing the separating operation.
