1. A taping apparatus for a secondary battery, configured to adhere an adhesive member cut and provided as a single sheet to a secondary battery cell including an accommodating portion in which an electrode assembly is accommodated and a sealing portion folded in a direction of the accommodating portion and sealing an edge of the accommodating portion, comprising:
a support unit supporting a portion of the adhesive member; and
a roller unit continuously moving in at least one direction of the accommodating portion and the sealing portion and adhering the adhesive member supported by the support unit to the secondary battery cell,
wherein the support unit comprises:
an adsorption temporary adhering unit adsorbing the adhesive member to move in a direction of the secondary battery cell, and adhering a portion of the adhesive member to the secondary battery cell;
wherein the adsorption temporary adhering unit comprises:
a temporary adhering head having a negative pressure flow path formed on one surface of the adhesive member and connected to an external negative pressure forming portion;
wherein the negative pressure flow path is formed on one surface of the temporary adhering head contacting the adhesive member, formed to have a radial shape, and formed to communicate with each other,
wherein the radial shape is formed by lines on the one surface of the temporary adhering head, and
wherein the temporary adhering head is formed to have a concave shape on the one surface of the temporary adhering head.
