Summary of the invention
Be contained in the molding outer casing in this prior art constructions at cell device, the wall thickness of molding outer casing for about 0.3mm to 0.4mm.When considering fixed double-sided adhesive tape and tolerance, element thickness increases about 0.8mm to 1mm.In addition, need make the top molding outer casing of unit and the shape that the bottom molding outer casing can carry out ultra-sonic welded.For like this, wall thickness increases about 0.7mm.Thereby, to compare with the volume of unit, the volume of battery component increases by 1.3 to 1.4 times.
In addition, when battery unit is contained in the molding outer casing, the heat-sinking capability variation.Thereby battery performance reduces and/or the generation heat.
In order to address this is that, the inventor of present patent application has proposed a kind of battery component with following structure.This battery component is made of hard outer jacket member (hard outer jacket member) and cell device.Hard outer jacket member has first opening and second opening at two ends.Cell device is contained in the case member.Be respectively installed to first opening and second opening by resin molded first lid that forms and second lid.Circuit board is contained in first lid that is installed to first opening.Circuit board has the electrode terminal that is connected to cell device.
Because this battery component has excellent volumetric efficiency (electric capacity of per unit volume/one battery component) and high-cooling property, so this battery component helps to improve battery performance.In addition, can easily assemble this battery component and can realize high yield.Yet because the simple shape of battery component, the inventor recognizes the danger that exists battery component to be connected with the electronic installation reversed polarity.In order to address this problem, can add jut at the edge surface place of battery component.Yet this jut branch reduces the volumetric efficiency of battery component.
In addition, when using above-mentioned battery component because simple in structure, institute so that battery component to avoid external impact very important.In having the battery component of said structure, shown in Figure 1A, 101a carries out spinning molded (spin-molding) to soft shell parts (soft outer jacket member), holds the concave portions of cell device with formation.After cell device is contained in the concave portions, hard outer jacket member 101b is placed on the soft shell parts 101a, make hard outer jacket member 101b cover the opening portion of concave portions.Periphery to cell device carries out hot adhesion.After this, shown in Figure 1B, folding hard outer jacket member 101b and soft shell parts 101a.Thereby resulting structure has elliptic cross-section.The end of bonding case member 101a and 101b.Thereby, obtain battery unit.Lid with elliptic cross-section is installed to the opening of battery unit top and bottom.Thereby, obtain battery component.
Yet, as shown in Figure 2, in having the battery component of this structure, hard outer jacket member 101b and soft shell parts 101a fold along left-hand face part that is connected cell device 104 and right lateral surface part and the straight line that holds the opening portion of cell device 104.Thereby the radius of curvature of these folded parts is less than the radius of curvature of the part of the lower surface part of the left-hand face part that connects cell device 104 and right lateral surface part and cell device 104.Thereby the cross section of cell device 104 is not oval-shaped.
This is because holding the concave portions of cell device 104 forms by spinning is molded, and the end 108 of concave portions can easily fold.When the lid of attempting to have the substantially elliptical cross section was installed to the opening portion of cell device 104, the shape of hard outer jacket member 101b and described lid did not match.Because their contact reduces, so they can not carry out hot adhesion fully.Thereby when applying impact on the battery component Crater plate or to battery component, hard outer jacket member 101b can come off easily.

According to second embodiment, when coating cell device, make flexible laminated parts 1a and rigid layer pressure part 1b shape bending along cell device with case member.Because flexible laminated parts 1a is that spinning is molded, so the end of the top of rigid layer pressure part 1b and bottom opening can be easily crooked.When molded flexible laminated parts 1a, the radius of curvature from the bottom surface portions of battery component to its each lateral parts diminishes.On the other hand, because the rigidity of the metal level of laminated film, the radius of curvature from each lateral parts of battery component to its upper surface is greater than the radius of curvature from bottom surface portions to each lateral parts.Flexible laminated parts 1a and rigid layer pressure part 1b be molded as make their elliptic cross-section have different radius of curvature, battery unit 29 as shown in Figure 22.After this, make the CPP layer hot adhesion of rigid layer pressure part 1b and flexible laminated parts 1a.Thereby obtain the battery component of rigid layer pressure part 1b as outermost layer protection cell device 4.
In this case, bonding sheet 15a is placed in the outside, the bottom surface of the concave portions 15 that preferably forms in flexible laminated parts 1a.Bonding sheet 15a makes the nylon layer of flexible laminated parts 1a or the accessory of pet layer hot adhesion.
After this, cathode terminal 5a and anode terminal 5b that extends from the top of the battery unit 29 that is molded as reservation shape and the protective circuit that has been installed on the circuit board are carried out electric resistance welding or ultrasonic bond.As shown in figure 23, the circuit board that is connected to cell device 4 is inserted in the space of top cover 27, wherein upper bracket 27a and lower bracket 27b are molded and install.
Next, describe procedure of processing with reference to Figure 24, Figure 25 and Figure 26, it is initial step that described step is contained in the top cover with circuit board, is end step with the rigid layer pressure part 1b that top cover is connected to as case member.Figure 24, Figure 25 and Figure 26 illustrate the perspective view that top cover is installed to the step of case member.
As shown in figure 24, upper bracket 27a is placed on the top of the circuit board 22 that is connected to battery unit 29, makes upper bracket 27a covering board 22.After this, as shown in figure 25, lower bracket 27b and upper bracket 27a are aimed at and be mounted to, make circuit board 22 be contained in therebetween.As shown in Figure 26, change the orientation of top cover 27, make lower bracket 27b towards battery unit 29.After this, top cover 27 is installed to an opening portion of battery unit 29.When top cover 27 was installed to the opening portion of battery unit 29, folding electrode terminal 5 also was contained in the battery unit 29 it.
Top cover 27 is thermally bonded to rigid layer pressure part 1b as case member together with the bottom 28 that is installed to battery unit 29 bottoms.Shown in Figure 27 A, the upper bracket 27a of top cover 27 is by the end face R part 33 that is installed to battery unit 29 inboards, constitute as the upper surface portion 34 and the hot adhesion part 34a of the part of the shell of battery component, wherein hot adhesion part 34a is arranged on the lateral parts on the longer sides of upper surface portion 34, and is thermally bonded to rigid layer pressure part 1b.
When top cover 27 is installed to battery unit 29, the contact of upper bracket 27a and rigid layer pressure part 1b is descended.For fear of this problem, molded end face R part 33 makes it have corner part, and described corner part has different radius of curvature R and r.In addition, molded upper surface portion 34 makes it have the identical corner part of radius of curvature and end face R part 33.Thereby shown in Figure 27 C, the shape of the shape of top cover 27 and battery unit 29 becomes identical.Thereby the contact of battery unit 29 and top cover 27 improves and prevents that top cover 27 from coming off because of impact.
Upper surface portion 34 has planar section (flat surface portion) F on left side and right lateral surface.This planar section F aims at battery component easily with the battery component slot of electronic installation.In addition, planar section F makes battery component avoid staggering with the battery component slot of electronic installation.
In order to understand this embodiment of the present invention easily, Figure 28 shows the state that the top cover with elliptic cross-section 35 that uses in the prior art is installed to battery unit.In this case, because the radius of curvature of top cover 35 is bigger than the radius of curvature at battery unit 29 basal surface part two ends, thus there is the gap at the two ends of battery unit 29 basal surfaces part, shown in dotted line 30.Thereby top cover 35 becomes not enough with the contact of battery unit 29.Thereby the contact deficiency can cause battery component to break down.
As shown in figure 22, will be installed to the bottom opening part of battery unit 29 by the bottom 28 that the resine moulded unit of injection moulding is made.The bottom 28 and the case member of hot adhesion battery unit 29.Bottom 28 can have the cross section of approximate ellipsoidal.Replacedly be, the same with top cover 27, bottom 28 can have corner part, and described corner part has different radius of curvature r and R.In this case, the contact of bottom 28 improves.In addition, can prevent that bottom 28 from coming off.When bottom 28 when having planar section F as the left side of the part of a case member part and right side, battery component can easily be aimed at the battery component slot of electronic installation, and prevents dislocation.
Thereby, can obtain having the battery component of the easy alignment of excellent volumetric efficiency, stronger external impact resistance and battery component slot.
Next, the result of the test that the battery component according to second embodiment of the invention is carried out fall-down test (drop test) describes.
Test battery assembly with structure is as shown in figure 22 fallen to concrete floor from the height of 1.5m, check the state that top cover separates with battery component then.The end face R that is installed to the upper bracket that constitutes top cover partly has corner part, makes the radius of curvature at basal surface part two ends of battery component be different from the radius of curvature at the upper surface two ends of battery component.The upper surface portion of upper bracket has the concave portions of distinguishing negative electrode and anode at the bigger corner part of radius of curvature, and has planar section on the side that forms between the less corner part of the bigger corner part of radius of curvature and radius of curvature.Carry out fall-down test under the following conditions.
(1) battery component falls at top cover state down.
(2) battery component falls at a side state down.
As the battery component that is used to carry out fall-down test, make 50 test battery assembly A and 50 test battery assembly B, wherein battery component A has such top cover, the radius of curvature of two sides of mounting portion is 1/2 of a battery component thickness, battery component B has such top cover, the radius of curvature from the opening portion of the concave portions of holding cell device to the side less than from the surface in the outside of the basal surface of concave portions to the radius of curvature of side.Each battery component test 30 times.In fall-down test (2), to every side test of each battery component 15 times.
The state of testing the battery component after 30 times is divided into three types.Calculating is divided into the quantity of all types of battery components.
State A: top cover coming off from the case member less than 1/4 zone of top cover neighboring.
State B: top cover is 1/4 to 3/4 zone of top cover neighboring from coming off on the case member.
State C: top cover coming off from the case member surpasses 3/4 zone (comprising the state that lid is removed from case member) of top cover neighboring.
Table 1 illustrates the test result of fall-down test (1).
Table 1
Figure C20061007393900261
Table 2 shows the test result of fall-down test (2).
Table 2
Figure C20061007393900262
The test result of fall-down test (1) shows that among the test battery assembly A of the top cover A that uses, when the assembled battery assembly, the installation error rate of case member and top cover is higher, and the shedding frequence of top cover and case member is relative higher in using prior art.On the contrary, in the test battery assembly B that has according to the top cover B of the embodiment of the invention, when the assembled battery assembly, the installation error rate of case member and top cover is very low, and the shedding frequence of top cover and case member is lower.Thereby, can know that the external impact resistance of finding out the battery component B with top cover B is higher than the battery component A with top cover A.
The test result of fall-down test (2) shows that among the test battery assembly A of the top cover A that uses, the shedding frequence of top cover and case member is higher in using prior art.In the test battery assembly B that has according to the top cover B of the embodiment of the invention, shedding frequence is lower.In having the test battery assembly A of top cover A, the external dimensions difference of case member and top cover A is bigger.In having the test battery assembly B of top cover B, (equality) is higher for the isotropism of the shape of lateral parts.This will cause the difference of damping performance.
Next, third embodiment of the invention is described.In the battery component of Shi Yonging, circuit board 103 is contained in the top cover 102 that is made of upper bracket 102a and lower bracket 102b in the prior art.Top cover 102 is installed to an opening portion of case member 1.Like this, shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, the electrode terminal 105 that is connected to circuit board 103 is folded and is contained in the battery component.
In order to understand the third embodiment of the present invention easily, Figure 29 shows the electrode terminal leads part (lead portion) of the battery component that uses in the prior art and the layout of upper bracket 102a.In the electrode terminal leads represented by the dotted line shown in Figure 29 part, electrode terminal extends out near the end as the rigid layer pressure part of case member.Thereby, when top cover is installed to the rigid layer pressure part, the electrode terminal 5 of the relative part extruding electrode terminal leads part that the solid line by shown in Figure 29 of upper bracket 102a is represented.
In order to prevent that part hinders the electrode terminal of folding up 105 relatively, need between top cover 102 and cell device, provide space or minimizing to be thermally bonded to the mounting portion of case member.Yet in last structure, volumetric efficiency reduces.In one structure of back, the hot adhesion undercapacity of top cover and rigid layer pressure part.
Thereby as shown in figure 30, a third embodiment in accordance with the invention forms notch portion 37a at the part place of upper bracket 36a.Notch portion prevents upper bracket 36a hindrance electrode terminal 5.Figure 31 shows the example according to the structure of the battery component of third embodiment of the invention.In this battery component, the top cover that is made of upper bracket 36a and lower bracket 36b (describing after a while) is installed to the opening portion of rigid layer pressure part.Thereby, the increase that can avoid pushing electrode terminal He avoid battery component thickness.In following description, the part identical with first and second embodiment represented by identical Reference numeral and omitted description of them.
Figure 32 shows the state under electrode terminal leads part is installed to flexible laminated parts 1a at the upper bracket 36a shown in Figure 30 situation.Shown in figure 32, the mounting portion of upper bracket 36a is inserted in the end of flexible laminated parts 1a.Yet, because upper bracket 36a has notch portion 37a, so upper bracket 36a does not hinder electrode terminal 5.Thereby, because upper bracket 36a has the notch portion relative with electrode terminal 5, so can reduce the space of formation between top cover 36 and the cell device 4.Thereby, can make the battery component that electrode terminal 5 does not hinder top cover 36 with enough hot adhesion intensity.
When the thickness of battery component hour, electrode terminal 5 hinders lower bracket and electrode terminal 5 outstanding on the thickness direction of battery component.For fear of like this, as shown in figure 33, on the basal surface of top cover 36, form notch portion 37b and 37c, make notch portion 37b corresponding with the wiring of electrode terminal with 37c.Thereby, electrode terminal 5 is folded and is contained among notch portion 37b and the 37c.
In this case, because notch portion 37b and 37c be formed on the lateral parts of basal surface of lower bracket 36b, so the zone with notch portion of basal surface diminishes.Thereby the intensity of lower bracket 36b reduces.In addition, as bottom support 36b during by resin molded forming, lower bracket 36b is easy to distortion.For fear of this problem, as shown in figure 33, preferably thickness be equal to or greater than bottom thickness lower bracket 36b basal surface part vertically on form protrusion walls, thereby keep intensity and the mouldability of lower bracket 36b.
Figure 34 A and Figure 34 B show the layout under lower bracket 36b and electrode terminal 5 be installed to the rigid layer pressure part at top cover the state.Figure 34 A shows lower bracket 36b and the layout of cell device 4 under the ventricumbent state of electrode terminal leads part of battery unit.Figure 34 B shows lower bracket 36b and the layout of cell device 4 under the ventricumbent state of electrode terminal leads part of battery unit.When top cover was installed to the rigid layer pressure part, the position of lower bracket 36b was near cell device 4.In Figure 34 A and Figure 34 B, for clear, lower bracket 36b and cell device 4 are separately.
Figure 34 A and Figure 34 B illustrate, and the notch portion 37b and the 37c that are formed on the precalculated position of lower bracket 36b provide the space for electrode terminal 5, and have avoided upper bracket 36a extruding electrode terminal 5 and prevented that battery component thickness from increasing.
Figure 35 shows upper bracket 36a, lower bracket 36b according to third embodiment of the invention and the structure of battery unit 29.When the thickness of battery component hour, as shown in figure 35, rely on top cover 36 with notch portion 37a and lower bracket 36b with notch portion 37b and 37c, these notch portion can more effectively prevent top cover 36 and lower bracket 36b extruding electrode terminal.
When the thickness of battery component is relatively large, rely on the lower bracket 36b with basal surface part of thickness less than upper bracket 36a, can obtain the effect identical with 37c with the notch portion 37b of lower bracket 36b.Thereby, can save notch portion 37b and the 37c of lower bracket 36b.When the thickness of battery component is big, because the thickness of upper bracket 36a is bigger, even, can not cause adverse effect to the intensity of battery component so upper bracket 36a and lower bracket 36b are designed so that the thickness of the thickness of lower bracket 36b less than upper bracket 36a yet.Even the thickness of battery component increases, the position of electrode terminal leads part can not change yet, as long as adopt the structure according to the cell device of this embodiment.Thereby upper bracket 36a need have notch portion 37a.
Next, with reference to Figure 36, Figure 37, Figure 38, Figure 39 A, Figure 39 B, Figure 39 C and Figure 39 D, describe procedure of processing, it is initial step that described step is contained in the top cover with circuit board, and to be installed to rigid layer pressure part 1b with top cover be end step.Figure 36 is that the perspective view that top cover 36 is installed to the step of rigid layer pressure part 1b is shown to Figure 38.Figure 39 A is the sectional view that top cover 36 and the electrode terminal of folding up 5 are shown to 39D.
At first, as shown in figure 36, upper bracket 36a is placed on the top of the circuit board 22 that is connected to battery unit 29.After this, shown in Figure 37 and 39A, lower bracket 36b and upper bracket 36a are aimed at and be mounted to, make circuit board 22 be contained in therebetween.After this, shown in Figure 38 and Figure 39 B, change the orientation of top cover 36, make lower bracket 36b near battery unit 29.After top cover 36 is installed to an opening portion of battery unit 29 (referring to Figure 39 C and Figure 39 D), the top cover 36 and the case member of hot adhesion battery unit 29.When top cover 36 was installed to opening portion, electrode terminal 5 folded and is contained among notch portion 37b and the 37c.
Figure 39 D illustrates, and notch portion 37a, the 37b of upper bracket 36a and lower bracket 36b and 37c prevent the electrode terminal leads part of upper bracket 36a and lower bracket 36b extruding battery unit 29.Thereby, can prevent effectively that the thickness of battery component from increasing.In addition, because the notch portion 37b of lower bracket 36b holds the electrode terminal of folding up 5, so the notch portion 37b of lower bracket 36b need have the space of the folding electrode terminal 5 that is used to be coated with sealant 7.On the contrary, because notch portion 37c is corresponding with the wiring of electrode terminal 5, so notch portion 37c need have the space of the electrode terminal 5 that is used to be coated with sealant 7.
As shown in figure 31, be installed to and be installed to the opening opposite opening portion portions of top cover 36 as bottom 39 with the resine moulded unit of different injection moulding step manufacturing.Bottom 39 and rigid layer pressure part 1b carry out hot adhesion as the case member of battery unit 29.Alternative, can bottom 39 be connected with case member by hot resin material (hot melt agent) is injected into.When injecting hot resin, need prevent circuit board thermal deformation and/or damage.
By this way, under the situation that does not increase battery component thickness, can realize having high-quality, the battery component of the crushing resistance of high yield, high volumetric efficiency, electrode terminal.
Next, the test result of testing according to the battery component of the 3rd embodiment is described.
