Abstract
This invention provides an apparatus for separating and supplying plates from a stacked plate assembly capable of highly efficiently separating and conveying one plate by one from a stacked plate assembly of a storage cell without interruption and conveying and supplementing, one by one, the separated plate to a next step with improved reliability. In this apparatus, separation suction disks (6) for sucking, separating and holding the uppermost plate P are arranged on a support table (2) at an upper end portion of an elevation rod (1a) of an elevation mechanism (1) above a stacked plate assembly (A1) for separation having a large number of plates stacked in such a fashion as to be capable of moving up and down also included are rotary bodies (13) each having rotary suction disks (12) arranged along a circumference with predetermined gaps. A suction releasing mechanism (25) is contained for sucking and removing a separated plate P' sucked and held by the separation suction disk 6 and a suction releasing mechanism (25) for cutting off the sucking operation and releasing the separated plate P' for each rotary suction disk (12). A conveying-supplying mechanism (19) conveys and supplies the separated plate P' released from the rotary disk (12) for further processing.
