Description

Electrode Packaging Device The present application relates to an electrode packaging device and an electrode packaging method using the same. Electrodes have the disadvantage of being vulnerable to humidity. To transport these electrodes overseas, vacuum packaging is being performed using automated packaging machines. In the case of conventional automatic packaging machines, a problem occurred where the packaging bag tore due to mechanical interference when the electrode was placed on the conveyor rack for discharge after automatic packaging. Therefore, there is a need for an electrode packaging device to solve the problem of these packaging bags tearing.

Hereinafter, the electrode packaging apparatus of the present application will be described with reference to the attached drawings. The attached drawings are exemplary, and the electrode packaging apparatus of the present application is not limited to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an electrode packaging device according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 2 is a top view showing an electrode packaging device according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a packaging bag according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 4 is an illustrative drawing to explain the process of inserting an electrode into a packaging bag according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 5 is an illustrative drawing to explain the process of sealing an electrode packaging bag according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 6 is a front view showing an electrode discharge unit according to one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the electrode packaging device of the present application includes an electrode supply unit (1100), an electrode packaging unit (1200), an electrode discharge unit (1300), and an electrode transport unit (1400). In addition, the electrode discharge unit includes a transport shelf (1310), a shelf guide member (1320), and a cover (1330). According to the electrode packaging device of the present application, damage to the packaging bag that occurs when the electrode is placed on a shelf after automatic packaging can be minimized. The electrode discharge section (1300) shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 6 is a part that discharges the electrode (1) packaged in the electrode packaging section. That is, the electrode packaged in the electrode packaging section can be discharged by being completely packed and placed in the electrode discharge section. In one example, the transport shelf (1310) included in the electrode discharge section is a portion on which the electrode packaged in the packaging section is placed. Through this, the packaged electrode can be placed on the transport shelf and discharged. That is, in this specification, the process of the packaged electrode being placed on the transport shelf means that the electrode is discharged. For example, the above-mentioned transport shelf may include steel. By using steel for the transport shelf, damage to the packaged electrode during maritime transport can be prevented. The shelf guide member (1320) included in the electrode discharge section is a part that guides the seating direction of the electrode packaged by the shelf guide member, and is fixed to the transport shelf and placed on each side of the packaged electrode. For example, the shelf guide member may be placed on each side inside the transport shelf, that is, on each side facing the bottom surface of the electrode. By including the shelf guide member in the electrode discharge section, the packaged electrode can be placed on the transport shelf without the packaging bag getting caught on the transport shelf. Additionally, the cover (1330) included in the electrode discharge section is a member for protecting the packaged electrode so that the packaging bag of the packaged electrode is not damaged by the shelf guide member during the process of the packaged electrode being placed on the transport shelf. The cover is positioned to extend between the portion where the packaged electrode is placed and the shelf guide member so as to surround a portio
