Device and method for mounting battery cell

1. An apparatus for mounting a battery cell, which mounts a battery cell stack to a frame that includes a base cover and a pair of side covers respectively extending from both ends of the base cover, the apparatus comprising:

a support member to support the battery cell stack;

a roller member around which a film fixed to the support member is wound; and

a film guide member configured to move the film into the frame,

wherein, when the film guide member moves the film into the frame, the support member and the frame move toward each other, and the battery cell stack is movable along the film to be mounted to the frame.

2. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 1 ,

wherein the support member includes:

a first support portion to support the battery cell stack; and

a second support portion formed longer than the first support portion and coupled to both ends of the first support portion, the film being fixed to the second support portion.

3. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the apparatus is in use, the film guide member is disposed so that the film is located between the frame and the film guide member, and the film guide member contacts the film and moves the film into the frame.

4. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pressing member configured to move toward the support member at a position spaced apart from the support member to press one of two side surfaces of the battery cell stack.

5. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 4 ,

wherein the pressing member includes:

a movable rod;

at least one rotating roller coupled to the movable rod and configured to contact the film at one of the side surfaces of the battery cell stack; and

a driving force transmission source coupled to the movable rod to transmit a driving force to the movable rod.

6. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a film damage prevention member disposed to be movable between the frame and the roller member and configured to move toward the film and contact the film.

7. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 6 ,

wherein a round portion is formed at an edge of the film damage prevention member at which the film damage prevention member contacts the film.

8. The apparatus for mounting a battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a heat conduction member couplable to the battery cell stack.

9. A method for mounting a battery cell, which mounts a battery cell stack to a frame that includes a base cover and a pair of side covers respectively extending from both ends of the base cover, the method comprising:

providing a battery cell stack to be supported by a support member;

by a film guide member, moving a film fixed to the support member and wound around a roller member into the frame;

moving the support member and the frame toward each other;

moving the battery cell stack along the film to be inserted into the frame;

removing the film guide member from the film; and

drawing the film from the inside of the frame rotating the roller member.

10. The method for mounting a battery cell according to claim 9 , further comprising:

moving a pressing member toward the support member at a position spaced apart from the support member to press a side surface of the battery cell stack.

11. The method for mounting a battery cell according to claim 9 , further comprising:

moving a film damage prevention member toward the film to contact the film.
