Each of the positive electrode foil and the negative electrode foil is configured by applying an active material to a predetermined metal electrode foil main body. The separator is made of, for example, an electrically insulating porous resin film.

積層電池を製造するにあたっては、これら正極箔及び負極箔並びにセパレータが予めそれぞれ個別のパレット上に蓄積されている。そして、各パレット上の正極箔及び負極箔並びにセパレータが、順次吸着パッド等により吸着され、交互に所定の積層ポジションに積み上げられていく。   When manufacturing a laminated battery, these positive electrode foil, negative electrode foil, and separator are each beforehand accumulate | stored on the separate pallet. Then, the positive foil, the negative foil, and the separator on each pallet are sequentially adsorbed by an adsorption pad or the like, and are alternately stacked at a predetermined stacking position.

積層電池を構成する材料のうち、例えばセパレータは、元々はロール状に捲回されている。つまり、ロール状に捲回された帯状シートが引出され、引き出された帯状シートの先端部分が切断されて所定長のセパレータ(=「シート体」)とされ、そのシート体がパレット上に順次供給されて蓄積される。従来、上記供給の手法として、帯状シートの先端部を吸着して引き出し、所定長に切断し、パレット上に蓄積するという技術が知られている(例えば、特許文献1等参照)。   Of the materials constituting the laminated battery, for example, the separator is originally wound in a roll shape. That is, a belt-like sheet wound in a roll shape is drawn out, the leading end of the drawn belt-like sheet is cut into a predetermined length separator (= “sheet body”), and the sheet body is sequentially supplied onto the pallet. Is accumulated. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as the above-described supply method, a technique is known in which a leading end portion of a belt-like sheet is sucked and pulled, cut into a predetermined length, and accumulated on a pallet (for example, see Patent Document 1).

当該特許文献1に記載の技術では、帯状シートの上側に位置する「第1の搬送部材」及び「第2の搬送部材」と、帯状シートの下側に位置する「引出部材」とを用いることとしている。   In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the “first conveying member” and the “second conveying member” located on the upper side of the belt-like sheet and the “drawer member” located on the lower side of the belt-like sheet are used. It is said.

ところが、上記特許文献1の技術では、帯状シートを引出したり、或いはシート体を移動させるための部材として、少なくとも3つの部材を必要としており、装置の煩雑化を招いてしまうおそれがある。また、「引出部材」に関し、当該「引出部材」をスライドさせる動作[工程(1)]と、カット後、さらに「第2の搬送部材」の直下までスライドさせる動作[工程(5)]の2度の前進動作を必要としている。つまり、「第2の搬送部材」がシート体を吸着するまでに、「引出部材」を2度前進動作させる必要があり、その分だけ、供給スピードの面でロスを招いていた。   However, the technique of Patent Document 1 requires at least three members as members for pulling out the belt-like sheet or moving the sheet body, which may lead to complication of the apparatus. In addition, regarding the “drawer member”, the operation [step (1)] of sliding the “drawer member” and the operation of sliding further to the position immediately below the “second transport member” [step (5)] are performed. Need to move forward. In other words, the “drawing member” needs to be moved forward twice by the time the “second conveying member” adsorbs the sheet member, which causes a loss in terms of supply speed.

本発明は、上記事情等に鑑みてなされたものであり、装置の複雑化を抑制でき、シート体の供給スピード向上に貢献できるシート体の供給方法及び供給装置を提供することを主たる目的の一つとしている。   SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is that it provides a sheet body supply method and a supply apparatus that can suppress the complexity of the apparatus and contribute to an improvement in sheet sheet supply speed.

を有することを特徴とするシート体の供給方法。
Means 1. A sheet body supply method for cutting a belt-shaped sheet wound into a roll into a predetermined length to form a sheet body, and transporting and supplying the sheet body to a predetermined supply position,
In a state where the lower surface of the belt-like sheet delivered from a fixed suction member fixed at a predetermined position downstream of the wound belt-like sheet is adsorbed by the drawer member, the drawer member is A step of pulling out the belt-like sheet by moving to a delivery position downstream of the fixed suction means;
Clamping the belt-like sheet pulled out to the delivery position between the conveying member and the withdrawal member at the delivery position;
The belt-like sheet is cut by a cutter on the upstream side of the delivery position in a state where the belt-like sheet is sandwiched between the conveying member and the drawing member, and a sheet body is formed. Adsorbing the upper surface of the belt-like sheet,
While the upper surface of the sheet body is adsorbed by the transport member, the transport member is moved to the predetermined supply position, the sheet body is supplied to the predetermined supply position, and the drawing member is Separating the body and the transport member and moving the fixed suction means downward;
A step of returning the conveying member separated from the sheet body to the delivery position, and delivering the belt-like sheet from the fixed suction member to the drawer member by sucking a lower surface of the belt-like sheet by the drawing member; A sheet body supply method comprising:

手段1によれば、捲回された帯状シートの原反よりも下流側の所定位置に固設された固定吸着部材から受け渡された前記帯状シートの下面が引出部材にて吸着された状態で、引出部材が、固定吸着手段よりも下流側の受渡位置に移動させられる。これにより、帯状シートが引出される。次に、受渡位置に引き出された帯状シートが、受渡位置にある搬送部材と引出部材とで挟持される。そして、その挟持状態で、帯状シートが受渡位置よりも上流側にてカッタで切断されることで、シート体とされる。また、切断に際しては固定吸着部材にて帯状シートの上面が吸着される。続いて、搬送部材にてシート体の上面が吸着された状態で、搬送部材が所定の供給位置まで移動させられ、当該所定の供給位置にシート体が供給される。それとともに、引出部材は、シート体及び搬送部材から離間させられ、固定吸着手段の下方に移動させられる。その後、シート体の離間した搬送部材が受渡位置に戻されるとともに、引出部材にて帯状シートの下面が吸着することで固定吸着部材から引出部材へ帯状シートが受け渡される。これら一連の工程が繰り返されることで、所定長のシート体が所定の供給位置に積み上げられる。したがって、手段1によれば、シート体を移動させるための部材として、「引出部材」と「搬送部材」の2つの部材を用いればよく、結果として、装置全体の複雑化を抑制することができる。また、「引出部材」に関して、カッタによる切断の後、さらなる前進動作を必要としなくて済む。つまり、『第2の搬送部材』がシート体を吸着するまでに、『引出部材』を2度前進動作させる必要があった従来技術に比べ、高効率でシート体を供給することができ、結果として、シート体の供給スピード向上に貢献することができる。   According to the means 1, the lower surface of the belt-like sheet delivered from the fixed suction member fixed at a predetermined position downstream of the rolled belt-like sheet is sucked by the drawing member. The drawer member is moved to the delivery position on the downstream side of the fixed suction means. Thereby, the belt-like sheet is pulled out. Next, the belt-like sheet pulled out to the delivery position is sandwiched between the conveying member and the withdrawal member at the delivery position. Then, in the sandwiched state, the belt-like sheet is cut with a cutter on the upstream side of the delivery position, so that a sheet body is obtained. When cutting, the upper surface of the belt-like sheet is adsorbed by the fixed adsorbing member. Subsequently, in a state where the upper surface of the sheet body is adsorbed by the transport member, the transport member is moved to a predetermined supply position, and the sheet body is supplied to the predetermined supply position. At the same time, the drawing member is moved away from the sheet member and the conveying member, and is moved below the fixed suction means. Thereafter, the conveying member separated from the sheet body is returned to the delivery position, and the lower surface of the belt-like sheet is sucked by the drawing member, so that the belt-like sheet is delivered from the fixed suction member to the drawing member. By repeating these series of steps, sheet bodies having a predetermined length are stacked at a predetermined supply position. Therefore, according to the means 1, as the member for moving the sheet body, two members of “drawer member” and “conveyance member” may be used, and as a result, complication of the entire apparatus can be suppressed. . Further, regarding the “drawer member”, it is not necessary to further move forward after the cutting by the cutter. That is, the sheet body can be supplied with higher efficiency than the conventional technique in which the “drawing member” has to be moved forward twice before the “second conveying member” adsorbs the sheet body. As a result, it is possible to contribute to improving the supply speed of the sheet body.

In addition, “when cutting” may include a period in which the conveying member, the drawing member, and the belt-like sheet (sheet body) are sandwiched, as well as when cutting.

手段3.前記固定吸着部材から前記引出部材へ前記帯状シートを受け渡す工程に際しては、前記固定吸着部材と前記引出部材とで前記帯状シートを挟持し、当該挟持中に、前記固定吸着部材による吸着を解除し、前記引出部材による吸着を開始することを特徴とする手段1又は2に記載のシート体の供給方法。   Means 3.

さて、供給装置10の概略構成は上記のとおりであるが、以下には、当該供給装置10を用いて、シート体Sを所定の供給位置SP(パレット50)上に供給する際の手順について説明する。   Now, the schematic configuration of the supply device 10 is as described above. Hereinafter, a procedure for supplying the sheet S onto a predetermined supply position SP (pallet 50) using the supply device 10 will be described. To do.

まず、図3(a)に示すように、固定吸着部材11から受け渡された帯状シートBSの先端部分の下面を、引出部材12の吸着部12aにて吸着した状態で、当該引出部材12を、固定吸着手段11よりも下流側の受渡位置PPに移動させることで、帯状シートBSを引出す。   First, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), in the state where the lower surface of the leading end portion of the belt-like sheet BS delivered from the fixed adsorption member 11 is adsorbed by the adsorption portion 12a of the extraction member 12, the extraction member 12 is moved. The belt-like sheet BS is pulled out by being moved to the delivery position PP downstream of the fixed suction means 11.

次に、図3(b)に示すように、引出部材12を上動させることで、受渡位置PPに引き出された帯状シートBSの先端部分を、受渡位置PPにある搬送部材14と引出部材12とで挟持する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the leading end portion of the belt-like sheet BS drawn to the delivery position PP is moved by moving the drawing member 12 upward, so that the conveying member 14 and the drawing member 12 at the delivery position PP are used. And pinch with.

そして、図3(c)に示すように、帯状シートBSを搬送部材14と引出部材12とで挟持した状態で、前記受渡位置PPよりも上流側の所定箇所をカッタ13で切断することで、シート体としてのセパレータ2を得る。但し、切断及び切断以降に際しては、前記固定吸着部材11にて帯状シートBSの上面を吸着する。当該吸着により、帯状シートBSの先端部分の脱落が抑制される。尚、本実施形態においては、前記切断に際し、引出部材12の吸着部12aによる吸着を解除し、搬送部材14の吸着部14aによる吸着を開始しておく。   And as shown in FIG.3 (c), in the state which pinched | interposed the strip | belt-shaped sheet | seat BS with the conveyance member 14 and the drawing-out member 12, the predetermined location of the upstream from the said delivery position PP is cut | disconnected with the cutter 13, The separator 2 as a sheet body is obtained. However, the upper surface of the belt-like sheet BS is adsorbed by the fixed adsorbing member 11 after cutting and after the cutting. Owing to the adsorption, dropping of the leading end portion of the belt-like sheet BS is suppressed. In the present embodiment, at the time of the cutting, the suction by the suction portion 12a of the drawing member 12 is released, and the suction by the suction portion 14a of the transport member 14 is started.

次に、図4(a),(b),(c),(d)に示すように、搬送部材14の吸着部14aにてセパレータ2の上面を吸着した状態で、搬送部材14を前記供給位置SPまで移動させ、当該供給位置SPのパレット50上にセパレータ2を供給する。供給に際しては、搬送部材14がパレット50上の所定高さに達した時点で吸着部14aにおける吸着を解除する。   Next, as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4 </ b> B, 4 </ b> C, and 4 </ b> D, the transport member 14 is supplied with the upper surface of the separator 2 being sucked by the suction portion 14 a of the transport member 14. The separator 2 is supplied to the pallet 50 at the supply position SP. At the time of supply, the suction at the suction portion 14a is released when the conveying member 14 reaches a predetermined height on the pallet 50.

また、これとともに、図4(a),(b),(c)に示すように、前記引出部材12を、セパレータ2及び搬送部材14から離間させ、固定吸着手段11の下方に移動させる。   At the same time, as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4 </ b> B, and 4 </ b> C, the drawing member 12 is moved away from the separator 2 and the conveying member 14 and moved below the fixed suction unit 11.

そして、図4(d),(e)に示すように、セパレータ2の離間した搬送部材14を前記受渡位置PPに戻すとともに、引出部材12にて帯状シートBSの先端部分の下面を吸着することで固定吸着部材11の吸着部11aから引出部材12の吸着部12aへと帯状シートBSを受け渡す。尚、本実施形態では、帯状シートBSの受け渡しに際し、固定吸着部材11と引出部材12とで帯状シートBSが挟持されている最中に、固定吸着部材11の吸着部12aによる吸着が解除され、引出部材12の吸着部12aによる吸着が開始される。このように、上記手順を繰り返すことで、パレット50上に所定長のセパレータ2が蓄積されてゆく。   Then, as shown in FIGS. 4D and 4E, the transport member 14 separated from the separator 2 is returned to the delivery position PP, and the lower surface of the leading end portion of the belt-like sheet BS is sucked by the drawing member 12. Then, the belt-like sheet BS is delivered from the suction portion 11a of the fixed suction member 11 to the suction portion 12a of the drawing member 12. In the present embodiment, when the belt-like sheet BS is delivered, while the belt-like sheet BS is sandwiched between the fixed suction member 11 and the drawing member 12, the suction by the suction portion 12a of the fixed suction member 11 is released. Suction by the suction portion 12a of the drawing member 12 is started. Thus, by repeating the above procedure, the separator 2 having a predetermined length is accumulated on the pallet 50.

以上詳述したように、本実施形態によれば、セパレータ2(帯状シートBS)を移動させるための部材として、引出部材12と搬送部材14の2つの部材を用いればよい。したがって、従来3つの移動部材を必要としていた従来技術に比べ、装置全体の複雑化を抑制することができる。また、引出部材12に関して、カッタ13による切断の後、さらなる前進動作を必要としなくて済む。つまり、『第2の搬送部材』がシート体を吸着するまでに、『引出部材』を2度前進動作させる必要があった従来技術に比べ、高効率でセパレータ2を供給することができ、結果として、セパレータ2の供給スピード向上に貢献することができる。   As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, two members, that is, the drawing member 12 and the conveying member 14 may be used as members for moving the separator 2 (band-like sheet BS). Therefore, compared with the prior art which conventionally required three moving members, the complication of the whole apparatus can be suppressed. Further, after the cutting by the cutter 13, the drawing member 12 need not be further advanced. That is, the separator 2 can be supplied with higher efficiency than the conventional technique in which the “drawer member” needs to be moved forward twice by the time the “second conveying member” adsorbs the sheet body. As a result, the supply speed of the separator 2 can be improved.

また、本実施形態によれば、各吸着部11a,12a,14aの吸着、吸着解除を適宜うまく行うことで、セパレータ2(帯状シートBS)の受け渡しを円滑に行うことができる。   Further, according to the present embodiment, the separator 2 (band-like sheet BS) can be smoothly delivered by appropriately performing the suction and suction release of the suction portions 11a, 12a, and 14a as appropriate.
