1 and 2, the separator continuous feeding device according to the present invention includes a winding member 200 for winding up a rolled separator 700 and supplying the rolled separator 700 to a stacking member, A control member 100 for controlling the wind-up member 200 and the elevation member 300, and a control member 100 for controlling the wind- A base frame 500 for accommodating the winding member 200 and a reinforcing frame 600 for accommodating the elevating member 300 and the receiving member 400.

The control member 100 includes a sensor unit 130 for detecting a height of the lifting member 300 and a feeding speed of the separator 700 supplied to the receiving member 400, A control unit 110 for controlling the winding member 200 to the storage member 400 according to a driving and / or stop command input from the operation panel 120; .

2, the winding member 200 includes a vertical frame 510 extending vertically and a horizontal frame 520 extending horizontally from the upper and lower sides and respectively coupled to the vertical frame 510 And is received and supported inside the base frame 500.

 The winding member 200 includes an uncoiler 210 for receiving and rotating the separator roll 710 on which the separator 700 is rolled and supplying the separator 700, A driving motor 220 and a tapping part 230 for attracting and fixing the separating plate 700 supplied from the uncoiler 210 and the separating plate 700 between the accommodating member 400 to be connected to each other.

The uncoiler 210 rotates by driving the motor under the control of the controller 110 and supplies the separator 700 wound on the outer surface to the receiving member 400 side. The separator 700 wound around the uncoiler 210 is rolled separator roll 710 and the separator 700 wound around the uncoiler 210 gradually loosens. The separator roll 710 is detachable to the uncoiler 210 and is replaceable with the new separator roll 710 when the wound separator 700 is exhausted.

The taping portion 230 includes a first support roller 233 for moving and supporting the new separator 700 released from the new separator roll 710 that has been replaced in the uncoiler 210, A second support roller 234 for moving and supporting the separator 700 released from the previous separator roll 710 which is moved to the first separator roll 710 and a second support roller 234 for driving the first support roller 233 and the second support roller 234 A supporting motor 232 and suction means for fixing the end of the separator 700 unwound from the previous separator roll 710 and / or the end of the separator 700 unwound from the new separator roll 710 231 and a plate (not shown) capable of supporting the separator 700 adsorbed by the adsorption means 231 inside the housing (not shown). Such a configuration has been described for the sake of example, but is not limited thereto.

However, the construction of the taping part 230 as described above may be implemented and understood by those skilled in the art, so that the illustration is omitted.

First, the taping portion 230 guides the separator 700 supplied from the uncoiler 210 to the receiving member 400. At this time, when the separator 700 housed in the uncoiler 210 is exhausted, the adsorption unit 231 is driven under the control of the control unit 110 in response to the driving command of the operation panel 120, The end of the previous separator 700 which is moving toward the receiving member 400 is adsorbed and fixed.

For example, it is preferable that a plurality of holes (not shown) are formed on the plate (not shown) so that the separator 700 can be attracted by the attraction force of the attracting means 231. Therefore, the adsorption means 231 is located below the plate and adsorbs the air so that when the separator 700 on the storage member 400 side and the end of the newly replaced separator 700 are adhered to each other It is preferable to fix the separator plate 700 on the side of the receiving member 400 and / or the uncoiler 210 until the stop command of the uncoiler 210 is inputted.

The operation of the taping part 230 allows the operator to fix one separating plate 700 in the process of connecting the taping after replacement of the new separating plate 700, thereby facilitating the operation.

The housing member 400 includes a plurality of rollers rotatably fixed inside the reinforcing frame 600 formed of one or more frames horizontally and vertically extending from the upper side (or one side) of the base frame 500, The separator 700 supplied from the member 200 is received and then supplied to the winding member 200 and / or the stacking member (not shown).

The elevating member 300 increases the amount of the separating plate 700 that can be accommodated by enlarging the receiving distance of the separating plate 700 accommodated by moving the receiving member 400 upward and downward in the reinforcing frame 600.

That is, the present invention is characterized in that the separator 700 supplied from the winding member 200 is supplied to the stacking member (not shown) via the receiving member 400 and the elevating member 300. Here, the ascending / descending member 300 and the receiving member 400 can expand and contract the distance over which the separating plate 700 is conveyed by rotating a plurality of rollers, so that a certain amount of separating plates 700 can be accumulated.

In detail, the receiving member 400 is moved up and down by the elevating member 300, and a plurality of rollers are fixed and rotated in an S-shape to move the separating plate 700 drawn from the winding member 200 in one direction Even if the separator 700 is being replaced at the winding member 200 by always storing a certain amount or more of the separator 700 by moving the separator 700 in the opposite direction and drawing it to the winding member 200 (or the stacking member) It is possible to continuously supply the separator 700 with the member.

The lifting rails 311 are fixed at both ends of the lifting rails 330 and support the first upper roller 421 and the second upper roller 422, which will be described later.

The shaft holder 313 is fixed on the lifting plate 311 and is vertically communicated at the central portion and fastened to the outer surface of the lifting shaft 340. At this time, the shaft holder 313 and the lifting shaft 340 are fastened by a ball screw method. That is, the lifting and lowering panel 310 is moved up and down while the lifting shaft 340 is rotated by driving the lifting motor 320.

The elevating motor 320 is fixed to the upper horizontal frames 520 and 620 of the reinforcing frame 600 and attached to a lifting shaft 340 drawn out through the shaft holder 313 by a timing belt And a pulley (not shown) connected to the lifting shaft 340 to rotate the lifting shaft 340.

The elevating rail 330 is moved along a guide rail fixed to the inner surface of the reinforcing frame 600 to support the movement of the elevating panel 310. Here, the elevating rail 330 is formed, for example, as a structure that forms an empty space between the wall surfaces that project laterally so as to have a space in the longitudinal direction from the inside, and the rail guide 350 is laterally projected and extends upward and downward And is fastened to a groove formed in the elevating rail 330. [ That is, the lifting and lowering rail 330 is lifted up and down along the projections (not shown) of the rail guide 350 which are projected and extended to the wall surface.

6 to 8, the receiving member 400 includes an upper roller portion 420 fixed to the elevating member 300, a lower roller portion 430 fixed to the lower frame of the reinforcing frame 600, A switching roller portion 440 for switching the moving direction of the separator 700 and a drawing inlet portion 410 for guiding the separator 700 to be drawn in and drawn out.

The upper roller portion 420 includes a first upper roller 421 rotated in one direction at a front surface of the lifting plate 311 and a second upper roller 422 rotated in the opposite direction. Here, the plurality of first upper rollers 421 and the second upper rollers 422 are fixed in the upper and lower sides, respectively, and are rotated in opposite directions to each other.

For example, the first upper roller 421 rotates to move the separator 700 moved in the drawing inlet part 410 in one direction, and the second upper roller 422 rotates in the direction of the rotation of the switching roller part 440 Is rotated to move the diverted separator 700 in the opposite direction. The driving of the upper roller unit 420 is interlocked with the lifting and lowering of the lifting panel 310.

The lower roller portion 430 includes a first lower roller 431 rotated in one direction and a second lower roller 432 rotated in the opposite direction. Here, the lower roller unit 430 has a plurality of first lower rollers 431 and a second lower roller 432, and is arranged to form an S-shape with the upper roller unit 420. That is, the lower roller portion 430 is fixed to be positioned between the upper roller portions 420, as shown in FIG.

For example, the first upper roller 421 is rotated in one direction to move the separator 700 toward the first lower roller 431 fixed to the lower side of the reinforcing frame 600, and the first lower roller 431, Moves the separator plate (700) to the other first upper roller (421) side fixed to the lift panel (310).

The second upper roller 422 (or the second lower roller 432) is rotated in the opposite direction to rotate the separating plate 700 whose direction is changed at the change roller portion 440 to the second lower roller (Or the second upper roller 422), and the second lower roller 432 (or the second upper roller 422) transmits the second upper roller 422 (or the second lower roller 432 ) And moves the separator plate 700 to the other second upper roller 422.

That is, the upper roller unit 420 and the lower roller unit 430 alternately move the separator 700 from the upper side to the lower side and from the lower side to the upper side, respectively, and move them in one direction or the opposite direction.

The switching roller portion 440 is disposed on the second upper roller 422 or the second lower roller 422 so as to switch the separator 700 moved from the first upper roller 421 fixed to the lift panel 310 in the opposite direction, 432). For example, the switching roller portion 440 includes a switching guide roller 441 which is rotated in a direction opposite to the first upper roller 421 at one end of the lower side of the reinforcing frame 600, and a switching guide roller 441 And a transfer roller 442 for transferring the separator 700 transferred to the second upper roller 422 side.

The switching guide roller 441 is rotated in the direction opposite to the first upper roller 421 by the driving of the roller motor 451 so that the separating plate 700 moved by the rotation of the first upper roller 421 on the upper side And is guided to the switching roller 442 side.

The switching roller 442 is rotated in the same direction as the second upper roller 422 by driving the roller motor 451 to rotate the separator 700 transferred from the switching guide roller 441 to the upper second roller 422).

Here, the switching roller 442 and the switching guide roller 441 are rotated by the driving of the roller motor 451, and the roller motor 451 is installed by one or more of the switching roller 442 and the switching guide roller 441 Alternatively, it is possible to drive a plurality of rollers as one motor.

Similarly, the upper roller portion 420 and the lower roller portion 430 may be rotated by driving motors connected individually, or may be driven by one or more rollers interlocked as a single motor. Such a motor connection method can be variously modified by a business operator or a designer, and a detailed description is omitted because it is a feasible technology through the above description.

The drawing inlet 410 includes a guide plate 412 for guiding and supporting the separator 700 transmitted via the taping portion 230 and a separator 700 supported by the guide plate 412, A drawing roller 414 for guiding the separating plate 700 transferred from the second upper roller 422 (or the second lower roller 432) to the drawing roller guide 414, A drawing roller 415 for guiding the separating plate 700 guided from the guide roller 414 to the winding member 200 or the stacking member and a fixing panel 413 for supporting the guide plate 412 to the drawing roller 415, .

The guide plate 412 is fixed to one surface of the fixing panel 413 and extends in a tilted direction to guide the separating plate 700 drawn into the reinforcing frame 600 through the taping portion 230 to the drawing roller 411, . Preferably, the guide plate 412 may further include a groove that coincides with the width of the separator plate 700 to guide the separator plate 700.

The drawing roller 411 is rotated by driving the roller motor 452 to move the separator 700 guided by the guide plate 412 to the first upper roller 421 side. For this purpose, the drawing roller 411 is rotated in the same direction as the first upper roller 421 and the first lower roller 431.

The drawing guide roller 414 is rotated in the same direction as the second upper roller 422 and the second lower roller 432 to guide the separating plate 700 toward the drawing roller 415 side.

The pull-out roller 415 guides the separator 700 guided by the pull-out guide roller 414 to the take-up member 200 or the stacking member. Here, the separator 700 drawn out by the drawing roller 415 can be delivered to the stacking member (not shown) via the winding member 200, or can be taken out directly to the stacking member (not shown).

The present invention includes the above-described configuration. Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention achieved through the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

First, an operator inputs a driving command by operating the operation panel after storing the rolled separator 700 in the uncoiler 210. Accordingly, the control unit 110 drives the driving motor 220 to rotate the uncoiler 210 to take out the separator 700.

The separator 700 unwound from the uncoiler 210 enters the reinforcing frame 600 through the taping portion 230. At this time, the separated separator 700 is moved to the first upper roller 421 by the rotation of the drawing roller 411 through the guide plate 412. At this time, when the separating plate 700 is received in the reinforcing frame 600, the elevating panel 310 is lowered and is positioned below the reinforcing frame 600.

The separating plate 700 is moved to the switching roller portion 440 in accordance with the rotation of the first upper roller 421 and the first lower roller 431, And moved to the second lower roller 432 via the upper roller 422. [

The control unit 110 drives the lifting member 300 in response to a sensing signal from the sensor unit 130. [ That is, the elevating member 300 is gradually raised and lowered in accordance with the amount (distance) of the separator 700 that is drawn in.

For example, the control unit 110 controls the elevating member 300 to move up and down with respect to the elevating member 300, which is set to one of the drawing roller 411, the drawing roller 415, the switching roller unit 440 and the upper roller unit 420 The elevating member 300 is gradually raised or lowered in proportion to the speed of the separating plate 700 being introduced.

At this time, the elevating panel 310 is elevated and lowered by the ball screw system between the elevating shaft 340 and the elevating holder 313 while the elevating motor 320 is driven by the control of the controller 110. [ Accordingly, the distance between the upper roller portion 420 fixed to the lift panel 310 and the lower roller portion 430 increases, and the amount of the entire separator 700 housed in the reinforcing frame 600 is increased.

The separating plate 700 accommodated in the reinforcing frame 600 by the receiving member 400 and the elevating member 300 is drawn out through the drawing roller 415 and the drawn separating plate 700 is wound around the winding member 200 or directly to a stacking member (not shown).

When the separator 700 wound around the uncoiler 210 is exhausted, the operator stops the driving motor 220 via the operation panel 120 and stops the suction motor 231 of the taping unit 230 Replace the separator roll 710 after entering the drive command. The control unit 110 stops the driving motor 220 and drives the suction means 231 to move the separation plate 700 released from the previous separator roll 710 to the housing of the taping unit 230 The ends are adsorbed and fixed.

At this time, the controller 110 senses the feeding speed of the separator 700, which is received through the sensing signal of the sensor unit 130, to determine that the separator 700 is not fed. Therefore, the control unit 110 causes the lifting member 300 to descend in proportion to the rotating speed of the drawing roller 415 because the separator 700 is no longer drawn from the winding member 200.

That is, if the new separator 700 is not drawn in, the control unit 110 gradually lowers the elevation member 300 from the storage member 400 to gradually reduce the amount of the storage member 400 so that the separator 700 is supplied .

Therefore, the stacking member (not shown) is continuously supplied with the separator 700 during the replacement process of the separator 700 and laminated between the positive electrode plate (not shown) and the negative electrode plate (not shown).

Thereafter, the worker connects the end of the separator plate 700 on the side of the reinforcing frame 600 side fixed by the tapping part 230 with the end of the separator roll 710, and then connects the operation panel 120 To input a drive command.

The control unit 110 controls the driving motor 220 to rotate the uncoiler 210 so that the separator 700 is supplied again to the reinforcing frame 600. Further, the control unit 110 moves the elevating member 300 up and down in proportion to the moving speed of the separator 700.

Therefore, the present invention can continuously supply the separator 700 without stopping even while the separator roll 710 is being replaced.
