2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the field of rechargeable secondary batteries, aqueous batteries such as lead batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries and the like have become mainstream. However, as the size and weight of electric devices have been reduced, attention has been paid to secondary batteries having a high energy density, and research, development and commercialization thereof have been rapidly advanced. Also, due to global warming and depleted fuel problems, electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles have been developed by automakers, and higher capacity secondary batteries for power sources are also required.

[0003] Among such secondary batteries, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical battery is made of a synthetic resin hollow cylinder in a metal bottomed battery can 23 having an open end at the top. An electrode group 22 formed by winding a positive electrode and a negative electrode through a separator is inserted around a wound shaft 24. At the lower end of the electrode group 22, a current collecting tab 25 derived from one of the positive and negative electrodes (usually the negative electrode) is joined by ultrasonic welding, and a current collector plate 25 having a convex portion formed on the battery can 23 side in the center. Has been fixed. A portion where the convex portion of the current collector plate 25 contacts the inner bottom surface of the battery can 23 is fixed by resistance welding in which a current is supplied and joined by heat generated by electric resistance. In order to join by resistance welding, it is necessary to supply a current to the joining portion. Therefore, the cylindrical electrode rod 20 is inserted using the wound shaft hole 21 in the wound shaft 24, and the tip of the electrode rod 20 is collected. An electric current is passed by contacting the concave portion of the electric plate 25 to sandwich the joint between the electrode rod 20 and another electrode (not shown).

However, in the above-described resistance welding, the electrode group 2 is inserted to insert the electrode rod 20.
2, a wound shaft hole 21 is required. In the case of a cylindrical secondary battery, the wound shaft hole 21 can be used, but in the case of a rectangular secondary battery, the positive and negative electrodes are thin-plate-shaped through a separator without using the hollow cylindrical wound shaft 24. Since the electrode group is manufactured by being wound around the winding axis of the above, it is difficult to manufacture the wound shaft hole for inserting the electrode rod 20.
