At this, there is not the occasion of draft angle in the outstanding end of the rib 23 of battery case 2, the battery unit 3 of the height H of the central shaft of battery 11 and the maximum in the gap between the rib 23 be because Z=0 and Y be maximum, so be
Y=P×(a+b)
On the other hand, have the occasion of draft angle at the rib 23 of battery case 2, therefore the battery unit 3 of the height H of the central shaft of battery 11 and the minimum value in the gap between the rib 23 owing to Y=0 are
Z=2×H×tanθ。
For example, P=65mm, a=b=0.5%, with battery stacked two-stage on above-below direction of diameter 18.3mm, and to make the thickness of spacer be 1mm, H=29.45mm.In addition, making the draft angle of the outstanding end of rib 23 for example is 0.5 degree.In the occasion of this condition, above-mentioned Y, Z are 0≤Y≤0.62mm, Z=0.51mm.
Thus, under these conditions, do not have the occasion of draft angle in the outstanding end of rib 23, the battery unit 3 of the height H of the axis of battery 11 and the gap between the rib 23 are
0≤Y≤0.62mm
On the other hand, under these conditions, when the outstanding end at rib 23 had the draft angle of 0.5 degree, the battery unit 3 of the height H of the axis of battery 11 and the gap between the rib 23 were
0.62≤Y+Z≤1.13mm
In addition, because the tolerance of H and θ is little to the Z influence, for about 0.01mm, therefore can not consider.
In the scope of 0.62≤Y+Z≤1.13mm, because battery unit 3 is mobile in battery case 2, so this battery unit 3 has the possibility that sustains damage.Thus, consider safety, in the occasion of above-mentioned condition, the gap between preferred battery unit 3 and the rib 23 is below the 0.5mm.In addition, as mentioned above, when the occasion that does not have draft angle in the outstanding end of rib 23, gap between battery unit 3 and the rib 23 is 0.62mm, by reducing a, b or make the interval each other, outstanding end of rib 23 of battery case 2 shorter than P, can make the gap between battery unit 3 and the rib 23 is below the 0.5mm.
Then, the outstanding end size to each other of the rib 23 of the battery case 2 little occasion of length than the battery axis direction of battery unit 3 is described.In this occasion, the gap between battery unit 3 and the rib 23 is the scope of battery case 2 energy strains preferably, but such as described below, so long as expand by utilizing heat to make in the battery case 2, can the scope of folding and unfolding battery unit 3 get final product in this battery case 2.
When the length of the battery axis direction of coefficient of linear expansion α, room temperature T1, heating-up temperature T2 and the battery unit 3 of the material that will constitute battery case 2 was P, setting d was by following formula performance.
d=α×(T2-T1)×P
For example, consider to use axis direction length to be the battery of 65mm, and constituted the occasion of battery case 2 by polycarbonate resin.Make coefficient of linear expansion α=6.6 * 10 of polycarbonate resin -5, make battery case 2 rise to 100 when spending from room temperature 30 degree, d=0.3mm.
Therefore, in the outstanding end size to each other of the rib 23 of the battery case 2 little occasion of length than the battery axis direction of battery unit 3, the length direction both ends that are difficult to be out of shape in battery case 2, the interval each other, outstanding end of preferred rib 23 is below the 0.3mm with the difference of the length of the battery axis direction of battery unit 2.
Yet, as the long side side wall portion 22a of the battery case 2 of moulding product owing to have length direction middle body crooked tendency to the inside, therefore the interval each other, outstanding end that is located at the rib 23 on a pair of long side side wall portion 22a is compared with the length direction end side of long side side wall portion 22a, and length direction central portion side is little.With respect to this, the length direction middle body of the long side side wall portion 22a of battery case 2 can easily be pushed bending as described above open on the direction of returning.Therefore, the interval each other, outstanding end of rib 23 with the difference of the length of the battery axis direction of battery unit 2 so long as below the 0.3mm as above-mentioned result of calculation (producing the result of calculation at crooked length direction both ends), then no problem.
According to more than, if the interval each other, outstanding end of rib 23 is scope as described above (0.3mm is following) with the difference of the length of the battery axis direction of battery unit 2, even then can't be with the occasion of battery unit 3 folding and unfoldings in this battery case 2 owing to the strain of battery case 2, rise and expansion by the temperature that makes battery case 2, can be with battery unit 3 folding and unfoldings in this battery case 2.
In addition, in the present embodiment, owing in the position relative to each other of a pair of long side side wall portion 22a rib 23 is set, the interval each other, outstanding end of therefore using rib 23 is poor with the length of the axis direction of battery 11.When in the position relative to each other rib 23 not being set, as long as the length of the axis direction of the interval of the outstanding end of using rib 23 and the inner surface of relative long side side wall portion 22a and battery 11 is poor.That is, in battery case 2, as long as use part each other the interval relative with the axis direction end of battery 11.
Thus, be the occasion of the structure of stacked multistage a plurality of batteries 11 at battery unit 3, under with the state of battery unit 3 folding and unfoldings in battery case 2, the interval of the axis direction end of battery 11 and the outstanding end of rib 23 is even on the battery stack direction of battery unit 3.Thus, even vibration or impact the occasion be applied on the battery pack 1 because the rib 23 that can utilize battery case 2 each battery 11 of support cells unit 3 equably, therefore can prevent this battery 11 displacement relatively and thin slice 32~36 is sustained damage.
In addition, utilize said structure, below the interval each other, outstanding end of rib 23 and the difference of the length of the battery axis direction of battery unit 3 setting for the movement that can utilize these each rib 23 limit battery unit 3.That is can be to utilize the mode below the setting of movement of these each rib 23 limit battery unit 3 to be located on the inner surface of long side side wall portion 22a with the difference of outstanding interval each other, end and the length of the battery axis direction of battery unit 3 with each rib 23.Thus, under the state of battery unit 3 folding and unfoldings in battery case 2 with stacked a plurality of battery 11 multistagely, the interval between this battery unit 3 and the rib 23 is even in the battery stack direction of battery unit 3.Thus, even vibration or impact the occasion be applied on the battery pack 1, the rib 23 that also can utilize battery case 2 is support cells unit 3 integral body equably, therefore can prevent battery 11 relative displacement and thin slice 32~36 is sustained damage in this battery unit 3.
At this, the afore mentioned rules value is can or not impact in vibration when being applied on the battery pack 1, and the battery units 3 in the battery case 2 move and the gap of the degree that sustains damage.In addition, the afore mentioned rules value is so long as the value that can utilize the bending of the side wall portion 22 of battery case 2 to absorb, can be zero following, be that battery unit 3 is with respect to the rib 23 bulged-in values of battery case 2.
The battery unit 3 of afore mentioned rules value when obtaining the afore mentioned rules value equates with the gap of rib 23.Above-mentioned consideration method when thus, the afore mentioned rules value is defined as with the gap of obtaining battery unit 3 and rib 23 is identical.
In addition, even the interval each other, outstanding end of above-mentioned rib 23 and the difference of the length of the battery axis direction of battery unit 3 also can be used the outstanding end of rib 23 and the interval of relative part when not being provided with rib 23 in the position relative to each other.
In addition, each rib 23 mode at center of being positioned at the axis direction end of each battery 11 in this battery unit 3 under with the state of battery unit 3 folding and unfoldings in battery case 2 with the part with rib 23 arranges.That is, a plurality of ribs 23 supercentral mode of axis direction end of all being positioned at the battery 11 of battery unit 3 with any rib 23 is formed on the long side side wall portion 22a of battery case 2.Thus, can utilize rib 23 displacement of each battery 11 of the battery unit 3 in the limit battery box 2 more reliably.
In addition, need rib 23 be set in the mode at center that any of rib 23 all is positioned at the axis direction end of battery 11, if for preventing because vibration or the degree of impacting the damage that produces can have the part that rib 23 is not set.In addition, consider that the mouldability of battery case 2 or battery unit 3 with respect to the assembling operation of this battery case 2 etc., can arrange R portion or chamfered section etc. in the outstanding end of each rib 23.
As described above, by at battery case 2 rib 23 to be set, be limited in the structure of the movement of the battery unit 3 in this battery case 2, can design the shape of the thin slice 32~36 of this battery unit 3 freely, and can make the spacer 31 of this battery unit 3 be simple structure.Therefore, utilize said structure, realize the reduction of the manufacturing cost of the spacer 31 of battery unit 3 and thin slice 32~36, and can prevent the maximization of battery pack 1 integral body.And, utilizing said structure, because the shape of thin slice 32~36 can be designed to be suitable for the shape of CURRENT DISTRIBUTION, therefore also can prevent from the output performance of battery pack 1 is brought influence.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the draft angle that makes the outstanding end of rib 23 is zero, but this draft angle is zero meaning for comparing to make the moulding product from the little draft angle of the draft angle of shaping mould demoulding necessity successfully by the shaping mould moulding time.That is, the draft angle null representation can't the such draft angle of the demoulding when not weakening when handling then, may not be zero.At length will be in aftermentioned, but as present embodiment, by only forming rib 23 by draft angle zero, can guarantee the mouldability of battery case 2, can form the rib of the movement that can suppress battery unit 3 effectively.
In addition, the outstanding end of rib 23 is extended in the direction vertical with bottom surface sections 21 and is also comprised and allow when vibration or impact when being applied on the battery pack 1, can not make the tendency of displacement of the battery 11 of the degree that this battery unit 3 sustains damage owing to the displacement of the interior battery 11 of battery unit 3.
In addition, the outstanding end of rib 23 almost parallel is each other represented when in rib 23 occasion of setting battery unit 3 each other, even vibration or impact are applied on the battery pack 1, this battery unit 3 also can not concern the position to long side side wall portion 22a side shifting in battery case 2.Therefore, when impact is applied to occasion on the battery pack 1, if battery unit 3 mobile scope in battery case 2 not, then the outstanding end of rib 23 can be not exclusively parallel, can tilt a little with respect to the vertical line of bottom surface sections 21.
Similarly, the interval between the outstanding end of battery unit 3 and rib 23 evenly is also included within vibration or impacts when being applied on the battery pack 1, can not make the fluctuation at the interval of the degree that this battery unit 3 sustains damage owing to the displacement of the battery 11 in the battery unit 3.
(manufacture method of battery case)
Then, use the manufacture method of Fig. 7 and the battery case 2 of Fig. 8 to describe.In addition, because the manufacture method of battery case 2 integral body is with to use shaping mould to carry out the usual way of resin forming identical, therefore following, the forming method of main part to rib 23 describes.In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the outstanding part of the opposition side from bottom surface sections 21 to long side side wall portion 22a is the part by the drop gate moulding, removes after battery case 2 moulding.
In addition, in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, for the side wall portion 22 that relatively the has draft angle manufacture method with rib 23, expression is not provided with the cross section and the cross section that is provided with the part of rib 23 of the long side side wall portion 22a of rib 23 in a figure.That is, in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, represent to observe the cross section that differs the positions of 90 degree with respect to the bottom surface sections 21 of battery case 2 from the face normal direction across the cross section of the upper portion of center line (single-point line) and the cross section of lower portion.
As mentioned above, rib 23 draft angles that are formed on the battery case 2 are zero, therefore as shown in Figures 7 and 8, for example use angled pin 43 moulding.That is, when for example utilize injection mo(u)lding to form the occasions of battery case 2 a pair of shaping mould 41,41, making draft angle is that the outstanding end of zero rib 23 is by angled pin 43 moulding.
Angled pin 43 can with the direction of matched moulds direction quadrature on distolaterally be attached at that constitute can be with respect to shaping mould 42 on a pair of shaping mould 41,42 matched moulds direction be slided mobile sliding part 44 with one slidingly and movingly.In addition, this angled pin 43 constitutes and can rotate centered by distolateral to be attached at one on the sliding part 44.And angled pin 43 is attached on this sliding part 44 in the mode that the moving direction (matched moulds direction) with respect to sliding part 44 tilts.
In addition, the other end with being attached at the distolateral opposition side on the sliding part 44 of angled pin 43 forms that more the forward end sectional area is more big.That is, the angled pin 43 that tilts with respect to the matched moulds direction is more more big to this another distolateral preceding end cross-sectional area in order to utilize another distolateral side to form the outstanding end of rib 23 of battery case 2.
As present embodiment, only be the rib 23 of side wall portion 22 by making the part that forms with draft angle zero, other parts of this side wall portion 22 form with the state with draft angle, can guarantee the mouldability of battery case 2, can form the rib of the movement that can suppress battery unit 3 effectively.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the shape of angled pin 43 has and is attached at that another of a distolateral opposition side on the sliding part 44 is distolateral to have the shape that more the forward end sectional area is more big, but is not limited thereto, so long as the shape that works as angled pin also can be other shapes.
On sliding part 44, also link beyond distolateral to be useful at one of above-mentioned angled pin 43 and make battery case 2 distolateral from the outstanding protrudent pin 45 of shaping mould 42.
As shown in Figure 8, after utilizing a pair of shaping mould 41,42 to form battery cases 2, make sliding part 44 near direction (the white direction of arrow among the figure) movement of shaping mould 42 and utilize protrudent pin 45 and angled pin 43 to make battery case 2 from shaping mould 42 demouldings.At this moment, protrudent pin 45 utilizes the slip of sliding part 44 to move to make battery case 2 outstanding at once.On the other hand, angled pin 43 is mobile in the direction that the moving direction with respect to sliding part 44 tilts.In addition, can be attached at slidingly and movingly angled pin 43 on the sliding part 44 one distolateral with respect to sliding part 44 to sliding mobile with the direction of the glide direction quadrature of this sliding part 44.
Thus, another of angled pin 43 is distolateral owing to the rib 23 with respect to battery case 2 leaves to the inboard of this battery case 2, is zero even therefore make these rib 23 draft angles, the also demoulding swimmingly.
The rib 23 of draft angle zero also has the method that slide cores forms in using except the method for using angled pin 43 formation as described above.Below, use Fig. 9~Figure 12 that the method that slide cores in using forms the rib 23 of draft angle zero is described.
In addition, in Fig. 9~Figure 12, for the side wall portion 22 that relatively the has draft angle manufacture method with rib 23, expression is not provided with the cross section and the cross section that is provided with the part of rib 23 of the long side side wall portion 22a of rib 23 in a figure.That is, in Fig. 9~Figure 12, represent to observe the cross section that differs the positions of 90 degree with respect to the bottom surface sections 21 of battery case 2 from the face normal direction across the cross section of the upper portion of center line (single-point line) and the cross section of lower portion.
In using, in the forming method of slide cores, as shown in figure 10, utilize shaping mould 51,52 to form the outside of battery case 2, on the other hand, use the inboard of a part, core 53 and slide cores 54 these battery cases 2 of formation of shaping mould 52.
Shaping mould 51 is fixed dies, has the recess of the outer surface that forms battery case 2.
But shaping mould 52 is dynamic models, has the core 53 of the inboard that can dispose formation battery case 2 and the hole portion of slide cores 54.In addition, shaping mould 52 in the peripheral part of this hole portion, the predetermined of the side wall portion 22 of battery case 2 form the protuberance 52a that the zone has the inner surface that is used to form this side wall portion 22.The mask relative with shaping mould 51 of this protuberance 52a has draft angle, and on the other hand, the face of the hole portion side of shaping mould 52 forms that moving direction at shaping mould 52 extends and be vertical with the bottom surface sections 21 of battery case 2.In addition, be formed with the through hole that protuberance 52a is connected at projected direction at shaping mould 52.In this through hole, can on the projected direction of protuberance 52, dispose protrudent pin 57 movably.
Core 53 constitutes the part of the inner surface of the bottom surface sections 21 that forms battery case 2.In addition, this core 53 has the sliding surface that contacts with the face of the hole portion side of the protuberance 52a of shaping mould 52, utilizes the described later conical surface 53a that with interior slide cores 54 contact of compression spring 55 resiliency supported on this shaping mould 52.
Core 53 is mobile with the shaping mould 52 of movable side, and in the second half section of matched moulds, translational speed is faster than this shaping mould 52.For example, core 53 be connected when the shaping mould 52 of movable side during near the shaping mould 51 of fixation side one distolateral shaping mould 51 by this fixation side press, another of the bar-like member that seesaw another distolateral rising, so-called moves like that is distolateral.Thus, core 53 second half section of matched moulds with than the shaping mould 51 of the fast translational speed of the shaping mould 52 of movable side near fixation side.In addition, be provided with below Fig. 9 at above-mentioned bar-like member core 53 is carried out afterburning afterburning parts.At this, in the present embodiment, the travel mechanism that makes core 53 is for using the structure of the such mechanism of seesaw, but is not limited to this, so long as can be arbitrary structures than movable side shaping mould 52 mobile structure soon in second half section of matched moulds.
Interior slide cores 54 constitutes the outstanding end of the rib 23 that forms battery case 2.Should interior slide cores 54 be connected on the shaping mould 52 of movable side by compression spring 55.Thus, interior slide cores 54 utilizes compression spring 55 quilt on the direction of leaving shaping mould 52 afterburning as Fig. 9, Figure 11 and shown in Figure 12.
The part that core 53 and interior slide cores 54 will contact with each other respectively forms taper.Specifically, core 53 has under the state that makes shaping mould 51,52 matched moulds the conical surface 53a that the gauge towards shaping mould 51 Widths (left and right directions of Fig. 9~Figure 12) of fixation side diminishes.On the other hand, the gauge that has under the state that makes shaping mould 51,52 matched moulds towards shaping mould 51 Widths (left and right directions of Fig. 9~Figure 12) of fixation side of interior slide cores 54 becomes big conical surface 54a.Thus, when making core 53 to shaping mould 51 side shiftings of fixation side, the conical surface 54a butt of the conical surface 53a of this core 53 and interior slide cores 54 makes in this slide cores 54 mobile to the direction (Fig. 9~Figure 12's is right-hand) of compression compression spring 55.
In above structure, as shown in Figure 9, when making movable side shaping mould 52 close to fixation side shaping mould 51 sides, as mentioned above, in the second half section of matched moulds, core 53 is more close soon than movable side shaping mould 52.At this moment, the conical surface 53a of core 53 contacts with the conical surface 54a of interior slide cores 54, utilizes this core 53, and interior slide cores 54 is mobile to the direction (Fig. 9's is right-hand) of compression compression spring 55.When matched moulds finished, under the state that movably side shaping mould 52 and core 53 also stop, as shown in figure 10, the conical surface 53a of core 53 contacted at their whole with the conical surface 54a of interior slide cores 54.In addition, the symbol 56 of Fig. 9~Figure 12 is holding members.
Under the state of Figure 10, by potting resin in the space that is formed by shaping mould 51,52, core 53 and interior slide cores 54, form battery case 2.After forming battery case 2, as shown in figure 11, movable side shaping mould 52 is moved to the direction of leaving shaping mould 51.As mentioned above, core 53 owing to utilize afterburning parts reinforcing, therefore moves than shaping mould 52 as described above soon, and the conical surface 53a of this core 53 slides mobile with respect to the conical surface 54a of interior slide cores 54.Thus, interior slide cores 54 can not pressed by core 53, utilizes the elastic recovering force of compression spring 55 to move to the direction of leaving movable side shaping mould 52.Afterwards, as shown in figure 12, utilize protrudent pin 57 to make battery case 2 leave shaping mould 52.
In addition, also identical with Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 even in Fig. 9~Figure 12, the outstanding part of the opposition side from bottom surface sections 21 to long side side wall portion 22a is the part that is formed by drop gate, removes after battery case 2 moulding.
