Patent ID: 7979974

Claim:
A system for feeding a fuel cell stack, the stack comprising fuel cells comprising separating plates and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), the system comprising: a separating plate supply unit for feeding the separating plates; an membrane electrode assembly (MEA) supply unit for feeding the MEAs; a feeding unit on which the separating plates and the MEAs are fed, the feeding unit being configured to move upward and downward; and a transfer unit for receiving the separating plates and the MEAs from the separating plate supply unit and the MEA supply unit, respectively, and for loading the separating plates and the MEAs onto the feeding unit, wherein a longitudinal axis of the transfer unit is slanted with respect to longitudinal axes of the separating plate supply unit and the MEA supply unit with a predetermined angle, wherein the transfer unit receives the separating plates from the separating plate supply unit and the MEAs from the MEA supply unit, transports the separating plate and the MEA along an axial direction of the feeding unit, and loads the separating plate and the MEA onto the feeding unit; and wherein the transfer unit comprises: a magazine for receiving the separating plates and the MEAs from the separating plate supply unit and the MEA supply unit, respectively; a servo motor generating power to actuate the magazine such that the magazine transfers the separating plates and the MEAs onto the feeding unit; and at least one roller receiving the power from the servo motor and transmitting the power to the magazine; wherein the at least one roller comprises a first roller, a second roller, and an third roller supporting the magazine, wherein a straight line formed by a connection between the first roller and the second roller and another straight line formed by a connection between the second roller and the third roller are slanted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the feeding unit.
