Make described positive pole and negative pole, dividing plate 105 and electrolyte solution be contained in described internal tank, and,, on each two opposite edges, sealing plate 102 is being welded by utilizing the parallel seam sealing machine of electric resistance welding principle with after sealing plate 102 cappings.Can obtain the sealing of high reliability by said method.
Concave-shaped receptacle 101 preferably for example make by insulator and heat proof material by heat stable resin, glass, pottery or glass-ceramic.As a kind of preparation method, can lead be applied to low-melting glass ceramics or on glass and stacked by the electric conductor printing, and can dry at low temperatures.Alternatively, can be itself and aluminium oxide raw cook is stacked and can be sintered by the electric conductor printing.
Preferably, material and the concave-shaped receptacle 101 that is used for described sealing plate and becket 109 has close thermal coefficient of expansion.
For example, be 6.8 * 10 with thermal coefficient of expansion -6The aluminium oxide of/° C is used under the situation of concave-shaped receptacle 101, and using thermal coefficient of expansion is 5.2 * 10 -6The Coval of/° C is as described becket and sealing plate.
In addition, preferably, in order to improve the reliability after the welding, also can be with the Coval identical as sealing plate 102 with being used for described becket.This is because when the substrate (wiring board) that described plate is surface mounted to equipment is gone up, and promptly during reflow soldering, can be heated after this plate welding.
In addition, preferably make and can form in order to a part of lead that forms described electrode collector by thick-film methods by tungsten, palladium, silver, platinum or gold with good corrosion energy.Also can use aluminium, titanium or carbon in addition.When on concave-shaped receptacle 101 bottom surfaces, using lead as the electrode collector on the side of the positive electrode, preferred especially gold, aluminium or the tungsten of using.This is in order to be avoided the fusing of described material when applying positive potential by high anti-(withstanding) voltage material of use.In addition, for improving the conductivity between described electrode and the lead, it is effective using the carbon that contains electrically conducting adhesive.In addition, under the situation of using the low withstand voltage material, below operation is effective: the electrically conducting adhesive that applies a carbon containing is dried this surface then and is made its sclerosis to form conductive layer in the whole surface of described electrode collector metal.Using aluminium to apply under the situation of described electrode collector, can utilize normal temperature fused salt (chlorinated butyl pyridine (butyl pyridinium chloride) electroplating bath, chlorination Miconazole (imidazolium chloride) electroplating bath or vapour deposition) to carry out thermal spraying or plating.
In order to weld, preferably nickel, gold, tin or scolder are placed on the part of splicing ear A 103 and splicing ear B 104 with substrate (wiring board).Edge for concave-shaped receptacle 101 is like this too, arranges that preferably one deck and adhesives have the nickel or the gold layer of good affinity.The formation method of described layer can comprise the gas phase process and the electro-plating method of for example vapour deposition.
With surface that becket 109 and sealing plate 102 combine on be provided as brazing material nickel and/or golden film be effective.Though the fusing point of gold is 1063 ° of C, the fusing point of nickel is 1453 ° of C, can make its fusing point reduce to 1000 ° of C or lower by the alloy that forms gold and nickel.The formation method of layer can comprise for example plating, the gas phase process such as vapour deposition, coating or use the thick-film methods of printing.Consider cost, the preferred especially thick-film methods of electroplating or printing of using.
Yet, be necessary that for example P, B, S, N and C are reduced to 10% or still less with the impurity element of described brazing material layer.Under the situation of using plating, especially must be noted that.For example, in chemical plating, can be to introduce these impurity elements as reducing agent with from the form of the B of dimethylamine borane from the P of sodium hypophosphite.In addition, in metallide, owing to may for example introduce these impurity elements polishing agent or the anion from additive, so must be noted that.The amount by regulating reducing agent, additive etc. that is necessary is limited in 10% or still less with these impurity elements.If the impurity element that is mixed is 10% or more, then forms intermetallic compound, thereby cause the crack at mating surface.
Using on one side of sealing plate 102 under the situation of nickel as brazing material 1082, the preferred gold of using is as brazing material 1082 on a side of concave-shaped receptacle 101.The ratio of described gold and nickel preferably at 1:2 between the 1:1, reduce welding temperature by the fusing point that reduces described alloy, thereby but also improved cementability.
For the welding of bound fraction, can use the parallel seam welding that utilizes electric resistance welding method.By spot welding with sealing plate 102 and concave-shaped receptacle 101 temporary fixed after, roller shape electrode and sealing plate 102 relative both sides are pressed mutually, and provide electric current to weld according to the electric resistance welding principle.Can realize sealing by four limits of welded seal plate 102.Because the mode with pulse provides electric current in live-rollers shape electrode, so obtain seam (seam-like) state after the welding.Unless the control impuls width is so that overlap each single welding track by pulse, otherwise can not realize sealing fully.
Be used for containing the capacitor of electrolyte (liquid) or the welding of battery, especially preferred is the parallel seam welding that utilizes electric resistance welding method, this is because this method is compared with additive method, and the electrolyte solution that has in less heat of evaporation effect and the less battery is revealed.
Used dividing plate is preferably heat-resisting non woven fabric.For example, in such as the dividing plate of being made by rolling perforated membrane, this dividing plate is stable on heating, but this dividing plate shrinks along rolling direction because of being heated when the seam weldering that utilizes electric resistance welding method.The result can cause internal short-circuit.The dividing plate that uses heat stable resin or glass fibre is because its less shrinkage and satisfactory.As resin, be good with PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone).Glass fibre is especially effective.In addition, also can use porous ceramic and poly-fluororesin body.
In concave-shaped receptacle 101 inside step is set and dividing plate is placed on this step, this can prevent internal short-circuit effectively.As shown in Figure 4, the thickness of becket 109 is reduced to side wall less than concave-shaped receptacle 101, forming step 110, and dividing plate is placed on this step.This has significantly reduced internal short-circuit.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, it also is effective that step 1101 is provided on the side wall of concave-shaped receptacle 101.
The shape of nonaqueous electrolyte battery described in the present invention and double-layer capacitor is arbitrarily basically.As shown in Figure 2, the basic upper limit of shape by crimping and the existing double-layer capacitor made of sealing is in circle.Therefore, being placed in jointly for the electronic unit of rectangle under situations in the substrate (wiring board), form the dead band of wasting space inevitably with other great majority.Because double-layer capacitor of the present invention also can be designed to rectangle, and does not have for example protrusion of terminal, so it can be placed in the substrate effectively.
According to nonaqueous electrolyte battery of the present invention or double-layer capacitor, because described splicing ear and concave-shaped receptacle integrate, and place this container outer bottom, so can save the space in the described substrate (wiring board).In addition, compatible mutually by constitute above-mentioned parts by heat proof material with reflow soldering.
