Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A battery manufacturing apparatus is configured to produce a plurality of types of battery modules (first battery module and second battery module) having a cell unit (flat battery) housed inside a case having an upper case and a lower case and having different specifications between a plurality of components (bolted brackets and sleeves) attached to the case. The battery manufacturing apparatus has a first attachment mechanism, a second attachment mechanism and a battery housing mechanism. The first attachment mechanism attaches to one of the upper case and the lower case of the plurality of components having different specifications. The second attachment mechanism attaches to one of the upper case and the lower case of the plurality of components having no specification differences. The battery housing mechanism has a flat battery arranged between the upper case and the lower case.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A battery manufacturing apparatus that produces a plurality of types of battery modules having a flat battery housed inside a case having an upper case and a lower case, and having different specifications between a plurality of components that are attached to the case, the battery manufacturing apparatus comprising: a first attachment mechanism configured to be attached to one of the upper case and the lower case of the plurality of components having different specifications; a second attachment mechanism configured to be attached to one of the upper case and the lower case of the plurality of components having no specification differences; and a battery housing mechanism having a flat battery arranged between the upper case and the lower case. 2. The battery manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components are bolted brackets and sleeves. 3. The battery manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a detection mechanism configured to detect an attachment state of the plurality of components having different specifications, the detection mechanism being disposed on an upstream side of the battery housing mechanism and on a downstream side of the first attachment mechanism. 4. The battery manufacturing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a detection mechanism configured to detect an attachment state of the plurality of components having different specifications, the detection mechanism being disposed on an upstream side of the battery housing mechanism and on a downstream side of the first attachment mechanism.
