Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve problems such as hole formation, breaking and peeling which are caused in the case where metallic foils to be joined by welding are thin. <P>SOLUTION: In a ultrasonic welding equipment for joining metallic foils, metallic foils 11, 12 to be joined are superimposed to each other on the rugged machining face 1a of an anvil 1, and the rugged machining face of an ultrasonic horn that vibrates in a nearly parallel direction to the machining face 1a of the anvil 1 is pressed on the superimposed part from above the superimposed part. On the circumference of the machining face 2a of the ultrasonic horn 2, there is formed a curved smooth face which extends from the projected face in the ruggedness of the machining face across the circumferential side of this machining face and which is gently curved from the same face flush with this projected face. Thus, the problems like peeling are improved by avoiding a strong pressing locally applied by a projected ridge. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えばリチウムイオン2次電池における集電体箔とリードとの接合に適用して、その接合を確実に、高信頼性をもって行うことができるようにした超音波溶接装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、金属板同士の接合方法としては、超音波溶接法が広く用いられている。これは、アンビルの加工面上で、金属板と金属板とを互いにその接合を行う部分を重ね合せ、この重ね合わせた部分上から、アンビルの加工面に対してほぼ平行に振動する超音波ホーンの加工面を押し当てて、その接合を行う。
この超音波溶接を行う超音波溶接装置は、アンビルの加工面と、超音波ホーンの加工面とが、それぞれ微細な凹凸面に形成される。
図8は、その超音波ホーンの加工面31を示し、その凹凸面32が、加工面31の全域に渡って形成される。
この凹凸面32は、図9に拡大正面図を示し、図10に、図9のA−A線の断面図を示すように、4角錐状体の頂部が切り落とされたいわゆる截頭4角錐状の凸部33が配列された凹凸面として形成され、この凹凸が加工面の全周縁に臨んで形成される。
また、アンビルの加工面においても、凹凸面が形成される。このアンビルの加工面の凹凸面も、通常、同様に4角錐状体の頂部が切り落とされたいわゆる截頭4角錐状のとうが配列された凹凸によって形成される。
【0003】
この構成による超音波溶接装置は、例えば相互に溶接する金属板が、比較的厚い場合は、良好に高い信頼性をもって溶接することができる。
しかしながら、例えばリチウムイオン2次電池における集電体箔とリードとの接合を行う場合のように、その接合金属板が、50μm未満の厚さの金属箔である場合、金属箔に部分的に破れを生じ、実際の使用中、あるいは例えば電池の組み立て作業中に、剥がれを生じるなど信頼性、歩留りに問題が生じる。
【0004】
このような不都合を回避する方法として、アンビルの加工面を構成する凹凸面を、サンドブラスト面によって構成することが提案された(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
この場合、上述した剥がれが改善され、信頼性、歩留りの向上を図ることができる。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
特開平6−155051号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、例えばリチウムイオン電池の正極におけるように、厚さが10μm程度の集電体を構成する金属箔例えばAl箔に、金属箔リード例えばAlリード箔を超音波溶接する場合、その超音波ホーンの押圧部の上述した例えば截頭4角錐状突部の頂面に接する部分においては、点状の接合がなされるが、この接合の周囲、特に超音波ホーンの加工面の周縁部で、破れや、破損が生じる場合がる。
特に、アンビルの加工面を、截頭多角錐体の配置による凹凸形状とする場合、より均一な力で、超音波ホーンの押圧がなされないと、孔の発生が生じ、接合のための押圧態様等の条件の設定が容易でないという問題がある。
上述した問題は、被接合金属箔の膜厚が50μm以下、特に20μm以下のように肉薄となる場合、その接合の信頼性に問題が生じ、不良品の発生率が高まり、歩留りの低下を来す。
【0007】
本発明は、このような問題を、効果的に解決し、高い信頼性を有する超音波接合を行うことができ、歩留りの向上を図ることができるようにした超音波溶接装置を提供するものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明による超音波溶接装置は、アンビルの凹凸面による加工面上に、互いに接合する金属箔を重ね合せ、その重ね合わせ部分上から、アンビルの加工面に対してほぼ平行に振動する超音波ホーンの凹凸面を有する加工面を押し当てて、金属箔の接合を行う金属箔の超音波溶接装置であって、その超音波ホーンの加工面の周縁部に、この加工面の周側面に差し渡ってなだらかに湾曲する、具体的にはこの加工面の凹凸の凸面から延長して、この凸面と同一平面からなだらかに湾曲する湾曲滑面が形成された構成とするものである。
【0009】
上述の本発明構成とすることによって、冒頭に述べたような孔、破れ、剥離等の発生が効果的に回避され、更に、アンビルへの金属箔の付着、いわゆる食いつきの発生を効果的に回避されることが見出された。
これは、従来構造によるときは、超音波ホーンを押圧するとき、特にその凹凸によって形成される加工面の周囲に凸部の角部が存在することによって、此処に圧力が集中し、局部的に他部に比し大きな圧力が掛かって、上述した孔、破れ、剥離等の発生が生じるが、本発明構成によるときは、加工面の周囲に、凹凸の凸面からの高さで延長するなだらかな湾曲滑面が形成されていることによって、このような局部的に圧力が加わることが回避されたことによるものと思われる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明による超音波溶接装置の実施の形態の一例を、その要部の斜視図を示す図1を参照して説明する。
しかしながら、本発明装置は、この例に限定されるものではない。
この超音波溶接装置は、通常におけると同様に、互いに接合がなされる金属箔の一方の第1の金属箔11が、アンビル1の加工面1a上に載置され、この第1の金属箔11の、所定の位置上に、第1の金属箔11と接合される他方の第2の金属箔12が配置される。
そして、この状態で、第2の金属箔12上から、押圧される加工面2aを有する超音波ホーン2が設けられて成る。
【0011】
超音波ホーン2は、超音波発生源(図示せず)によって、アンビル1の加工面1aとほぼ平行に振動する超音波振動が与えられるようになされ、アクチュエータ3によって、アンビル1の加工面1aに向かって押圧動作がなされる。
【0012】
第1の金属箔11は、例えばリチウムイオン電池における正極集電体を構成するAl金属箔、あるいは負極集電体を構成するCu金属箔である。
また、第2金属箔12は、例えば集電体を構成する第1の金属箔11に対して超音波溶接がなされる例えばリボン状リード、例えばAlリード、Cuリードを構成する金属箔である。
【0013】
超音波ホーン2は、図2にその側面図、図3に正面図、図4に平面図をそれぞれ示すように、超音波ホーン2の先端部の、例えば相対向する上下両側面に、それぞれ超音波接合の押圧部となる加工面2aが形成される。
これら加工面2aの一方が、選択されて上述したように、第2の金属箔12上から、アンビル1に向かって押圧されるようになされる。
加工面2aは、図5に平面図を示すように、凹凸面22が配置されて成る。
図6は、この加工面2aの要部の凹凸パターン図を示し、図7に図6のA−A線の断面図を示す。凹凸面22は、多角錐状体、例えば4角錐状体の頂部が切り落とされたいわゆる截頭4角錐状の凸部25が多数細密充填をもってすなわち、隣り合う截頭4角錐体が、相互にその一辺が共通とするように配列する。
また、この頂面、すなわち截頭面は、角錐体の軸心と直交する面とされる。
【0014】
この凹凸パターンは、その凸部25の相対向する斜面の頂角θが、例えば90°をなし、凸部25が一定ピッチPの例えば0.2mmのピッチをもって、縦横列に多数配列された構成を有する。
【0015】
そして、特に本発明構成においては、超音波ホーンの加工面2aの周縁部に、加工面の周側面2dに差し渡って、この周縁部に位置するこの加工面2aの凹凸の凸面(頂面)23から延長して、この凸面23と同一平面からなだらかに湾曲する湾曲滑面24が形成された構成とするものである。
このように形成された湾曲滑面24によって、超音波ホーン2の加工面2aの周囲に凹凸が存在することがなく、かつ凸面23と同一面からほぼ平坦に外周方向に延びる平滑領域2bが形成される。
【0016】
湾曲滑面24は、曲率半径Rが0.2mm〜1mm、例えば0.5mmとすることが望ましい。
この曲率半径Rは、0.2mm未満では、加工面2aの周縁部で凹凸が存在しない平滑領域が狭すぎて、局部的強圧部の解消が図りにくくなり、1mmを超えると、加工面の周縁部における平滑領域が幅広くなり過ぎて、接合のための圧力が不足して、接合強度の低下が生じてくることが認められた。
【0017】
一方、アンビル1の加工面1aにおける凹凸面は、超音波ホーン2の加工面2aにおける凹凸面22と同様に例えば截頭4角錐状体の配列による凹凸面とするこおもできるし、冒頭に述べたサンドブラスト面とすることもできる。
【0018】
また、このアンビル1の加工面1aにおいても、超音波ホーン2の加工面におけると同様のなだらかな湾曲滑面が溶接部の周縁部に形成された構成とすることもできる。
【0019】
上述の本発明装置による場合、超音波ホーンの加工面の周縁部にR=0.5mmの湾曲滑面24を設けた場合と、設けない従来装置について、それぞれ8万回の溶接を、同条件下で行った場合について、切断等の発生を調べた。
この場合、従来装置による場合は、2,000回に一回の割合で切断等が発生したが、本発明装置によるときは、15,000回に1回の割合で切断等が発生し、格段の改善が図られた。
すなわち、本発明による超音波溶接装置によれば、孔の発生、破れの発生、アンビルへの金属の付着等の改善が図られ、良好な溶接を行うことができる。したがって、例えばリチウムイオン電池の、集電体を構成する肉薄で、軟弱な金属箔に対するリードの接続等に適用して信頼性が高い確実な接合を行うことができるものである。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
上述したように、本発明においては、超音波ホーンの加工面の周縁部における凹凸の凸部の角部を消失させた平滑領域が存在する構成とするものであり、このような構成としたことによって、厚さ50μm以下の例えば10μmにおよぶ肉薄の金属箔の接合においても、孔の発生、破れ、剥離等の不良品の発生を効果的に回避することができ、更に、アンビルへの金属箔の付着、いわゆる食いつきの発生を効果的に回避でることから、良好な接合、信頼性の高い接合を行うことができ、各種製品の製作における超音波溶接に適用して、歩留りの向上を図ることでき、長寿命化を図ることができるなどの効果を奏するものである。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic welding apparatus which is applied to, for example, joining between a current collector foil and a lead in a lithium ion secondary battery so that the joining can be performed reliably and with high reliability.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, an ultrasonic welding method has been widely used as a method for joining metal plates. In this method, a metal plate and a metal plate are joined to each other on a processing surface of an anvil, and an ultrasonic horn vibrating substantially in parallel with the processing surface of the anvil from the overlapped portion. And press the machined surface to perform the joining.
In the ultrasonic welding apparatus for performing the ultrasonic welding, the processed surface of the anvil and the processed surface of the ultrasonic horn are formed on minute uneven surfaces, respectively.
FIG. 8 shows the processing surface 31 of the ultrasonic horn, and the uneven surface 32 is formed over the entire processing surface 31.
9 shows an enlarged front view, and FIG. 10 shows a so-called truncated quadrangular pyramid in which the top of the quadrangular pyramid is cut off, as shown in a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. Are formed as an uneven surface in which the convex portions 33 are arranged, and the unevenness is formed facing the entire peripheral edge of the processing surface.
Also, an uneven surface is formed on the processed surface of the anvil. The uneven surface of the machined surface of the anvil is also usually formed by a so-called truncated quadrangular pyramid-shaped tongue in which the top of the quadrangular pyramid is cut off.
[0003]
The ultrasonic welding apparatus having this configuration can perform welding with good reliability when, for example, metal plates to be mutually welded are relatively thick.
However, when the joining metal plate is a metal foil having a thickness of less than 50 μm, as in the case of joining the current collector foil and the lead in a lithium ion secondary battery, for example, the metal foil partially breaks. This causes problems in reliability and yield, such as peeling during actual use or for example during battery assembly.
[0004]
As a method of avoiding such inconvenience, it has been proposed that the uneven surface forming the processed surface of the anvil is formed by a sandblast surface (for example, see Patent Document 1).
In this case, the above-described peeling is improved, and the reliability and the yield can be improved.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-6-155051
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when a metal foil lead such as an Al lead foil is ultrasonically welded to a metal foil such as an Al foil which forms a current collector having a thickness of about 10 μm as in a positive electrode of a lithium ion battery, for example, A point-like joint is made at the portion of the pressing portion that contacts the top surface of the above-mentioned truncated pyramid-shaped protrusion, for example. A break is formed around this joint, particularly at the peripheral edge of the processing surface of the ultrasonic horn. , Damage may occur.
In particular, when the processed surface of the anvil has an uneven shape due to the arrangement of truncated polygonal pyramids, holes are generated if the ultrasonic horn is not pressed with a more uniform force, and a pressing mode for bonding is performed. There is a problem that it is not easy to set conditions such as
The above-mentioned problem is that when the thickness of the metal foil to be bonded is as thin as 50 μm or less, particularly 20 μm or less, a problem occurs in the reliability of the bonding, the occurrence rate of defective products increases, and the yield decreases. You.
[0007]
The present invention provides an ultrasonic welding apparatus capable of effectively solving such a problem, performing ultrasonic bonding with high reliability, and improving the yield. is there.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
An ultrasonic welding device according to the present invention is an ultrasonic horn that superimposes metal foils to be joined to each other on a processing surface formed by the uneven surface of an anvil, and vibrates substantially parallel to the processing surface of the anvil from the overlapped portion. A metal foil ultrasonic welding apparatus for pressing a processed surface having an uneven surface to join a metal foil, wherein the ultrasonic horn extends over a peripheral portion of the processed surface and a peripheral side surface of the processed surface. The curved smooth surface, which is gently curved, specifically, extends from the convex surface of the unevenness of the processed surface and is gently curved from the same plane as the convex surface.
[0009]
With the above-described configuration of the present invention, the occurrence of holes, tears, peeling, and the like as described at the beginning can be effectively avoided, and further, the adhesion of metal foil to the anvil, that is, the occurrence of so-called biting can be effectively avoided. It was found to be done.
This is because, when the conventional structure is used, when the ultrasonic horn is pressed, the pressure concentrates on the ultrasonic horn, particularly due to the presence of the corners of the convex portion around the processing surface formed by the unevenness. A large pressure is applied compared to the other parts, and the above-described holes, tears, peeling, and the like are generated. However, according to the configuration of the present invention, the processing surface is gradually extended at a height from the convex surface of the irregularities. It is presumed that the formation of the curved smooth surface prevented such a local pressure from being applied.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of an ultrasonic welding apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
However, the device of the present invention is not limited to this example.
In this ultrasonic welding apparatus, as in a normal case, one first metal foil 11 of metal foils to be joined to each other is placed on the processing surface 1a of the anvil 1, and the first metal foil 11 The other second metal foil 12 to be joined to the first metal foil 11 is arranged on a predetermined position of the second metal foil 12.
In this state, the ultrasonic horn 2 having the processing surface 2a to be pressed is provided from above the second metal foil 12.
[0011]
The ultrasonic horn 2 is provided with an ultrasonic vibration which is vibrated substantially in parallel with the processing surface 1a of the anvil 1 by an ultrasonic generating source (not shown), and is applied to the processing surface 1a of the anvil 1 by the actuator 3. A pressing operation is performed.
[0012]
The first metal foil 11 is, for example, an Al metal foil constituting a positive electrode current collector or a Cu metal foil constituting a negative electrode current collector in a lithium ion battery.
The second metal foil 12 is a metal foil that forms, for example, a ribbon-shaped lead, such as an Al lead or a Cu lead, to which ultrasonic welding is performed on the first metal foil 11 that forms a current collector.
[0013]
As shown in a side view in FIG. 2, a front view in FIG. 3, and a plan view in FIG. 4, the ultrasonic horn 2 has an ultrasonic A processing surface 2a serving as a pressing portion of the sonic bonding is formed.
One of the processing surfaces 2a is selected so as to be pressed toward the anvil 1 from above the second metal foil 12, as described above.
As shown in a plan view in FIG. 5, the processed surface 2a has an uneven surface 22 arranged thereon.
FIG. 6 shows a concavo-convex pattern diagram of a main part of the processed surface 2a, and FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. The uneven surface 22 has a polygonal pyramid, for example, a so-called truncated quadrangular pyramid-shaped convex portion 25 in which the top of the quadrangular pyramid is cut off. Arrange so that one side is common.
The top surface, that is, the truncated surface, is a surface orthogonal to the axis of the pyramid.
[0014]
The concavo-convex pattern has a configuration in which the apex angles θ of the opposing slopes of the convex portions 25 are, for example, 90 °, and a large number of convex portions 25 are arranged in rows and columns with a constant pitch P, for example, 0.2 mm. Having.
[0015]
In particular, in the configuration of the present invention, the convex surface (top surface) of the unevenness of the processing surface 2a located on the peripheral portion of the ultrasonic horn over the peripheral surface 2a of the ultrasonic horn over the peripheral side surface 2d of the processing surface. Extending from the convex surface 23, a curved smooth surface 24 gently curved from the same plane as the convex surface 23 is formed.
Due to the curved smooth surface 24 formed in this manner, there is no unevenness around the processing surface 2 a of the ultrasonic horn 2, and a smooth region 2 b extending substantially flat from the same surface as the convex surface 23 in the outer peripheral direction is formed. Is done.
[0016]
The curved smooth surface 24 preferably has a radius of curvature R of 0.2 mm to 1 mm, for example, 0.5 mm.
If the radius of curvature R is less than 0.2 mm, the smooth region where there is no unevenness in the peripheral portion of the processing surface 2a is too narrow, and it is difficult to eliminate the locally high-pressure portion. It was recognized that the smooth region in the portion became too wide, the pressure for joining was insufficient, and the joining strength was reduced.
[0017]
On the other hand, the uneven surface on the processing surface 1a of the anvil 1 can be the same as the uneven surface 22 on the processing surface 2a of the ultrasonic horn 2, for example, by an arrangement of truncated quadrangular pyramids. The described sandblasting surface can also be used.
[0018]
Further, also on the processing surface 1a of the anvil 1, a gentle curved smooth surface similar to that on the processing surface of the ultrasonic horn 2 can be formed on the peripheral portion of the welded portion.
[0019]
In the case of the above-described apparatus according to the present invention, welding was performed 80,000 times under the same conditions for the case where the curved smooth surface 24 of R = 0.5 mm was provided on the periphery of the processing surface of the ultrasonic horn and the case where the curved smooth surface 24 was not provided. In the case where the test was performed under the following conditions, occurrence of cutting or the like was examined.
In this case, in the case of the conventional apparatus, cutting or the like occurs once every 2,000 times, but in the case of the apparatus of the present invention, the cutting or the like occurs once every 15,000 times, and is extremely high. Was improved.
That is, according to the ultrasonic welding apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to improve the occurrence of holes, the occurrence of tears, the adhesion of metal to the anvil, and the like, and to perform a satisfactory welding. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to, for example, connection of a lead to a thin and soft metal foil constituting a current collector of a lithium ion battery, thereby performing highly reliable and reliable bonding.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the present invention, the ultrasonic horn has a configuration in which there is a smooth region in which the corners of the projections of the unevenness in the peripheral portion of the processing surface of the ultrasonic horn are present, and such a configuration is adopted. Therefore, even when joining a thin metal foil having a thickness of 50 μm or less, for example, as thin as 10 μm, it is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of defective products such as generation of holes, tears, and peeling, and further, the metal foil on the anvil. Adhesion, so-called biting, can be effectively avoided, so that good joining and highly reliable joining can be performed. Application to ultrasonic welding in the production of various products to improve the yield It is possible to achieve an effect that the service life can be extended.
