Embodiment
(the first embodiment)
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings of embodiments of the invention.
In the present embodiment, the situation that secondary cell is made up of lithium rechargeable battery is described, but the present invention is also applicable to the secondary cell except lithium rechargeable battery.
As shown in Fig. 1 (A), the secondary cell 10 of the present embodiment comprises the housing 14 of electrode body 12 and accommodating described electrode body 12.
Housing 14, in laterally longer rectangular plate-like, comprises body 16 and cap 18.
For body 16, by metallic plate 20 warpage, and the outer rim of the metallic plate 20 of warpage is welded to one another and is formed.In addition, in this manual " welding " refer to, include the use of the welding of laser beam etc. or all modes such as joint based on soldering.
The material of metallic plate 20 can use the existing known various metal materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, steel.
Fig. 1 (C) shows the metallic plate 20 before warpage.
Metallic plate 20 comprises bottom surface sections 22, a pair side surface part 24 and four and half end face portion 26.
Bottom surface sections 22 is in laterally longer rectangular shape.
A pair side surface part 24 in laterally longer rectangular shape, and is connected respectively with the relatively short side of bottom surface sections 22.
Half and half end face portion 26 is connected with the minor face of a pair side surface part 24 respectively.
As shown in Fig. 1 (B), for metallic plate 20, the border part of its bottom surface sections 22 and side surface part 24, and the border part of side surface part 24 and half end face portion 26 is by right angle warpage.And the outer rim of half end face portion 26 relative to each other is in alignment with each other and is engaged by welding, and the outer rim forming the minor face of half end face portion 26 and bottom surface sections 22 is in alignment with each other and is engaged by welding.
So, by warpage and welding formed and there is top by the body 16 of accommodation space S opened.
Further, weld by the outer rim of half end face portion 26 end face portion 28 forming body 16 each other mutually.
In the present embodiment, one and half end face portion 26 in four and half end face portion 26 form thinner wall section 30.
This thinner wall section 30 is formed as more thinner than the other parts thickness of metallic plate 20.
Thinner wall section 30 plays the function of the safety valve 32 of secondary cell 10, presses in electrode body 12 produces for discharge.
Thinner wall section 30 is formed in the outer rim of half end face portion 26, specifically, is formed in the edge of half end face portion 26 of welding opposite side the part that aligns.
Therefore, the safety valve 32 of the present embodiment is configured in the centre of the cross direction of the end face portion 28 of housing 14.
Thinner wall section 30 can use double end face portion 26 to carry out rolling or the existing known various processing method such as grinding is formed.
In this situation, formed, so be conducive to simply implementing high-precision processing because thinner wall section 30 comprises the outer rim of half end face portion 26.
Such as, extruded metal plate 20 and when forming thinner wall section 30, easily can be breaking at not as the part that thinner wall section 30 uses in the thin-walled portion produced in calender line, thus can simply form thinner wall section 30.
In addition, formed because thinner wall section 30 comprises the outer rim of half end face portion 26, so the thickness of thinner wall section 30 can be measured simply and accurately, thus be conducive to the thickness and precision improving thinner wall section 30.
On the contrary, the part beyond the outer rim of metallic plate 24 is difficult to form high-precision thinner wall section 30, and is difficult to simply and measure the thickness of the thin part 30 formed in those parts accurately.
As shown in Fig. 2 (A), (B), the outer rim 2602 of half end face portion 26 that the outer rim 3002 of thinner wall section 30 is soldered with this outer rim 3002 aligns and welds.
In this situation, as shown in Figure 2 (A) shows; thinner wall section 30 can be set to the outside off normal more to the inside than the body 16 except this thinner wall section 30, as shown in Fig. 2 (B), thinner wall section 30 can also be set to the outside off normal more laterally than the body 16 except this thinner wall section 30.
In addition, when the outer rim of thinner wall section 30 being aligned with the outer rim of half end face portion 26 and weld, if the difference of the thickness of the thickness of thinner wall section 30 and half end face portion 26 is larger, and the thickness of thinner wall section 30 is less, then the weld job of thinner wall section 30 becomes more difficult.
Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2 (C), if the outer rim 3002 being positioned at thinner wall section 30 is formed as thicker than other segment thicknesses of thinner wall section 30, be then conducive to the weld job guaranteeing thinner wall section 30.
In addition, the mode that the outer rim 3002 of thinner wall section 30 aligns with the outer rim 2602 of half end face portion 26 and welds by replacement, as shown in Figure 3, also can by the outer rim 3002 being positioned at thinner wall section 30 and the outer rim 2602 of opposite side of welding this outer rim 3002, the outer rim 2602 namely not forming thinner wall section 30 coincides and welds.That is, the outer rim being positioned at thinner wall section 30 is formed as near to connect the outer rim without thinner wall section 30 of this outer rim more outstanding, and this ledge is used for welding, thus is conducive to the weld job guaranteeing thinner wall section 30.
In addition, if the outer rim 3002 of thinner wall section 30 is welded to the outer rim 2602 of half end face portion 26, then the intensity of the outer rim 3002 of soldered thinner wall section 30 can become the remainder higher than thinner wall section 30.
If the intensity of thinner wall section 30 becomes too high, then press in housing 14 when rising, thinner wall section 30 is difficult to break.In other words, in the profile length of thinner wall section 30, the ratio shared by the length of the outline portion except outer rim 3002 more increases, and thinner wall section 30 is more easily broken.
Such as, the semicircular situation of the profile considering as Fig. 1 (A) shownschematically thinner wall section 30 to be radius size be R, and the profile of thinner wall section 30 are as shown in Figure 4 minor faces be R, long limit is 2R and long limit is configured to the rectangular situation of outer rim 3002.
Now, in the girth of thinner wall section 30, except the girth opposed outer edge 3002 of outer rim 3002 length shared by ratio, rectangle is higher than semicircle, and therefore rectangle easily reduces the intensity of thinner wall section 30 and thinner wall section 30 is easily broken.
So, according to the crackly degree of required thinner wall section 30, contour shape or the size of thinner wall section 30 reasonably can be selected.
As shown in Fig. 1 (A), electrode body 12 is contained in the accommodation space S of body 16.
