Description

本発明はフィルム外装型の蓄電装置とその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a film exterior type power storage device and a method for manufacturing the same.

ラミネートフィルム等の封止用フィルム同士を熱融着等により接合して形成されるフィルム外装体の内部に電極体ユニットを収容して密閉した構造のいわゆるフィルム外装型蓄電装置が種々の分野で使用されている。
かかるフィルム外装型蓄電装置の典型的なものとして、一方の端部がフィルム外装体内部の電極体ユニットに接続された正極側及び負極側の外部接続用端子(例えば薄板形状の端子)であってその他端側はフィルム外装体を構成する外装フィルム同士の融着面(封止面)を通って外部に引き出された外部接続用端子を備える蓄電装置が挙げられる。
このような形態の蓄電装置において外部接続用端子とフィルム外装体(融着面)との間の密閉性を確保する工夫が従来行われている。例えば、特許文献1及び2には、フィルム外装体(封止面)と接する表面に接着性を向上させるための多孔質膜が形成された外部接続用端子を備えた電池が記載されている。また、特許文献3には、タブ(外部接続用端子の別称)を封止するためにタブ周囲に配置した樹脂の延伸方向をタブ引き出し方向とは異なるようにして応力に対する耐性向上を図った電池が記載されている。
A so-called film-clad type power storage device having a structure in which an electrode body unit is housed and sealed inside a film-clad body formed by bonding film for sealing such as a laminate film by heat fusion or the like is used in various fields. Has been.
As a typical example of such a film exterior type power storage device, one end is an external connection terminal (for example, a thin plate-shaped terminal) on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side connected to the electrode body unit inside the film exterior body. Examples of the other end include a power storage device including an external connection terminal drawn out through a fusion surface (sealing surface) between exterior films constituting the film exterior body.
In the power storage device of such a form, a device for ensuring the sealing between the external connection terminal and the film outer package (fused surface) has been conventionally performed. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe a battery including an external connection terminal in which a porous film for improving adhesiveness is formed on a surface in contact with a film outer package (sealing surface). Patent Document 3 discloses a battery in which the resistance to stress is improved by making the extending direction of resin arranged around the tab (another name for the terminal for external connection) different from the pulling-out direction of the tab. Is described.

ところで、このような形態のフィルム外装型蓄電装置を構築する場合、フィルム外装体を構成する外装フィルム同士の融着面(封止面)の所定の位置に上記外部接続用端子を正しく配置することは難しく、位置ずれが発生しやすい。しかし、かかる外部接続用端子の位置ずれがあると、外部接続用端子と外装フィルム(典型的には高融点樹脂製の外面層と熱融着性樹脂製の融着層との間にアルミニウム等の箔から成る導電性バリア層を有する三層構造ラミネートフィルム)とを融着させる融着層の厚さ(即ち端子と外装フィルムとの間の距離)に不均一が生じ得、延いてはフィルム外装体の密閉性の低下、更には融着層の欠失部分における短絡(例えば三層構造ラミネートフィルムの金属バリア層と端子との接触)を招く虞もあり好ましくない。このため、位置ずれが発生しないように慎重に端子を外装フィルム上に配置する必要があるものの、過度の慎重さは当該蓄電装置の製造効率を低下させる要因ともなっていた。   By the way, when constructing such a film exterior type power storage device, the external connection terminals are correctly arranged at predetermined positions on the fusion surface (sealing surface) of the exterior films constituting the film exterior body. Is difficult and misalignment is likely to occur. However, if there is a misalignment of the external connection terminals, the external connection terminals and the exterior film (typically aluminum or the like between the outer surface layer made of a high-melting resin and the fusion layer made of a heat-fusible resin) The thickness of the fusion layer (that is, the distance between the terminal and the exterior film) for fusing the three-layer structure laminate film having a conductive barrier layer made of the above foil may be non-uniform, and thus the film It is not preferable because the sealing property of the outer package may be deteriorated, and further, a short circuit (for example, contact between the metal barrier layer of the three-layer structure laminate film and the terminal) may be caused at the portion where the fusion layer is lost. For this reason, although it is necessary to arrange | position a terminal carefully on an exterior film so that position shift may not occur, excessive care has also become a factor which reduces the manufacturing efficiency of the said electrical storage apparatus.

そこで本発明は、かかるフィルム外装型蓄電装置に関する上記課題を解決すべく創出されたものであり、フィルム外装体を構成する外装フィルム同士の融着面に配置される外部接続用端子(リード端子ともいう)の位置ずれの発生を防止し或いは位置ずれによる不具合の発生を防止し、効率よくフィルム外装型蓄電装置を製造し得る方法を提供することを一つの目的とする。また、そのような製造方法によって得られるフィルム外装型蓄電装置の提供を他の目的とする。   Accordingly, the present invention has been created to solve the above-described problems relating to such a film-sheathed power storage device, and is provided with an external connection terminal (also referred to as a lead terminal) disposed on the fusion surface of the exterior films constituting the film exterior body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method capable of efficiently producing a film-clad power storage device by preventing the occurrence of misregistration or preventing the occurrence of problems due to misregistration. Another object is to provide a film-clad power storage device obtained by such a manufacturing method.

And the insulating hard material is dispersed in the resin layer.
According to this configuration, the presence of the resin layer can further strengthen the fusion between the external connection terminal and the exterior film adjacent to the terminal. Moreover, the contact with a terminal and an exterior film can be prevented with the insulating hard material contained in the state disperse | distributed to the resin layer. For this reason, according to the power storage device of this aspect, a high sealing property of the film outer package is realized, and the occurrence of a problem (short circuit or the like) associated with the positional deviation can be prevented.

また、本発明によって提供される蓄電装置製造方法は、正極及び負極を有する電極体ユニットと、内部に該電極体ユニットを収容するフィルム外装体と、該電極体ユニットに電気的に接続し且つ該フィルム外装体を構成する外装フィルム同士の融着面を通って一端が外部に露出する少なくとも一つの外部接続用端子とを備えたフィルム外装型蓄電装置を製造する方法である。
この方法は、前記電極体ユニット及び外部接続用端子を用意する工程と、前記外部接続用端子を前記電極体ユニットと電気的に接続する工程と、前記外部接続用端子と電気的に接続された電極体ユニットを内部に収容した状態のフィルム外装体を構築する工程とを包含する。そして、該フィルム外装体構築工程において、前記外部接続用端子の一部が該フィルム外装体を構成する相互に融着可能な対向する二つの外装フィルムの融着面間に挟まれ且つ該端子の一端が外装体の外部に露出するように該端子と外装フィルムとを配置し、該二つの外装フィルムの融着面間に挟まれた端子の周囲に絶縁性硬質材料を分散させた状態で該二つの外装フィルムを相互に融着することを包含する。
かかる構成の製造方法によると、二つの外装フィルムの融着面(即ち融着可能な面)間に挟まれた端子の周囲に上記絶縁性硬質材料を分散させることにより、フィルム外装体を構築する過程において、位置ずれによる外部接続用端子と外装フィルムとの直接的な接触を防止することができる。これにより、端子と外装フィルムとの短絡(例えば上記三層構造ラミネートフィルムの金属製バリア層と外部接続用端子との直接接触による短絡)を未然に防止することができる。このため、外部接続用端子の位置ずれの修正等、煩雑な操作を行うことなく、フィルム外装型蓄電装置を効率よく製造することができる。
Further, the method for manufacturing a power storage device provided by the present invention includes an electrode body unit having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a film exterior body that accommodates the electrode body unit therein, an electrical connection to the electrode body unit, and the This is a method of manufacturing a film-clad power storage device that includes at least one external connection terminal whose one end is exposed to the outside through a fusion surface between exterior films constituting a film exterior body.
The method includes the steps of preparing the electrode body unit and the external connection terminal, electrically connecting the external connection terminal to the electrode body unit, and being electrically connected to the external connection terminal. And a step of constructing a film exterior body in a state where the electrode body unit is accommodated therein. In the film exterior body construction step, a part of the external connection terminal is sandwiched between the fusion surfaces of two opposing exterior films constituting the film exterior body and facing each other. The terminal and the exterior film are arranged so that one end is exposed to the outside of the exterior body, and the insulating hard material is dispersed around the terminal sandwiched between the fusion surfaces of the two exterior films. It includes fusing two exterior films together.
According to the manufacturing method having such a configuration, the film exterior body is constructed by dispersing the insulating hard material around the terminals sandwiched between the fusion surfaces (that is, the surfaces that can be fused) of the two exterior films. In the process, direct contact between the external connection terminal and the exterior film due to misalignment can be prevented. Thereby, the short circuit (For example, the short circuit by the direct contact with the metal barrier layer of the said 3 layer structure laminated film and the terminal for external connection) can be prevented beforehand. For this reason, the film-clad power storage device can be efficiently manufactured without performing complicated operations such as correction of the positional displacement of the external connection terminals.

ここで開示されるフィルム外装型蓄電装置製造方法の好ましい一つの態様では、前記外部接続用端子として、前記二つの外装フィルム間に挟まれる部分の表面に前記外装フィルムの融着面と融着可能な樹脂層であって前記絶縁性硬質材料が分散して存在する樹脂層を備えた外部接続用端子を使用する。
かかる構成の外部接続用端子を使用すると、前記樹脂層の存在によって、該端子と該端子に近接する外装フィルムとの融着をより強固且つ容易に行うことができる。また、樹脂層に分散された状態で含まれる絶縁性硬質材料により、外部接続用端子と外装フィルムとの直接的な接触を容易に防止することができる。このため、本態様の方法によると、上記外部接続用端子の位置ずれに過度の注意を払うことなく、高い密閉性が実現され上記位置ずれに伴う不具合(短絡等)の発生を未然に防止しつつフィルム外装型蓄電装置を効率よく製造することができる。

An external connection terminal provided with a resin layer which is a resin layer and in which the insulating hard material is dispersed is present.
When the external connection terminal having such a configuration is used, the presence of the resin layer makes it possible to more firmly and easily perform the fusion between the terminal and the exterior film adjacent to the terminal. Further, the insulating hard material contained in a state dispersed in the resin layer can easily prevent direct contact between the external connection terminal and the exterior film. For this reason, according to the method of the present aspect, high sealing performance is realized without causing excessive attention to the positional displacement of the external connection terminals, and the occurrence of problems (such as short circuits) associated with the positional displacement is prevented. The film exterior power storage device can be efficiently manufactured.

ここで開示されるフィルム外装型蓄電装置製造方法の好ましい他の一つの態様では、前記硬質材料が平均粒径10μm以上100μm以下のセラミックビーズである。
かかる構成の硬質材料は本発明の目的を実現する分散材として好適であり、本態様の蓄電装置製造方法によるとフィルム外装体の高い密閉性と位置ずれに伴う不具合(短絡等)の発生防止とを共に実現しつつ効率よくフィルム外装型蓄電装置を製造することができる。

It should be noted that matters other than matters specifically mentioned in the present specification (for example, the type and shape of the insulating hard material) and matters necessary for carrying out the present invention (for example, the configuration of the electrode body unit, the type of electrolyte, and the exterior) The film adhesion method and other film exterior body construction methods) can be grasped as design matters of those skilled in the art based on the prior art in this field. The present invention can be carried out based on the contents disclosed in this specification and the drawings and common general technical knowledge in the field.

本発明によって提供されるフィルム外装型蓄電装置としては、フィルム外装体から外方に引き出された少なくとも一つ(典型的には一対又は二対以上の正極端子及び負極端子)の外部接続用端子(リード端子)とフィルム外装体を構成する二つの外装フィルム(物理的に二枚の別個独立した外装フィルムである必要はなく融着面を挟んで対向する二つの外装フィルム部分をいう。)との間に適当な絶縁性硬質材料を分散状態で有するものであればよく、蓄電装置の種類、電極体ユニットの性状等に特に制限はない。
本発明が適用される典型的なものに、種々のフィルム外装型電池(一次電池、二次電池)が挙げられる。蓄電装置内に収容される電極体ユニットは一つに限られず、二以上の電極体ユニットが一つのフィルム外装体に収容されたもの(典型的には組電池)でもよい。

また、外部の電気回路と接続するための外部接続用端子は、種々の形態をとり得る。例えば、電極体ユニットを構成するアルミニウム製正極及び銅製負極に、それぞれ、薄板形状のアルミニウム製外部接続用正極端子及び銅製外部接続用負極端子が接続される。
As the film-clad power storage device provided by the present invention, at least one (typically one or two or more pairs of positive and negative terminals) external connection terminals (externally drawn out from the film-clad body) Lead terminals) and two exterior films constituting the film exterior body (which need not be physically two separate exterior films, but two exterior film portions facing each other across the fusion surface). There are no particular restrictions on the type of power storage device, the properties of the electrode body unit, etc., as long as it has a suitable insulating hard material in between.
Typical examples to which the present invention is applied include various film-clad batteries (primary batteries and secondary batteries). The number of electrode body units accommodated in the power storage device is not limited to one, and two or more electrode body units may be accommodated in a single film outer package (typically, an assembled battery).
The electrode body unit mounted on the film-clad battery or other power storage device disclosed herein may be a power storage element component (or a power generation element component) that can store and release predetermined power. There is no particular limitation. Typical power storage elements include various types of primary batteries (eg, lithium primary batteries, manganese batteries), secondary batteries (eg, lithium secondary batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries), or capacitors (eg, electric double layer capacitors). be able to. For example, an electrode body unit formed by winding a sheet-shaped positive electrode and negative electrode together with a separator or an electrode body unit formed by laminating a plurality of sheet-shaped positive electrodes, negative electrodes, and separators, as used in lithium secondary batteries, It is a preferable typical example of the electrode body unit which comprises the film exterior type electrical storage apparatus (film exterior type battery) disclosed here. There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the shape and size of the electrode body unit of a film exterior type electrical storage apparatus, A desired form and size can be taken.
Further, the external connection terminal for connecting to an external electric circuit can take various forms. For example, a thin plate-shaped aluminum external connection positive electrode terminal and a copper external connection negative electrode terminal are connected to an aluminum positive electrode and a copper negative electrode constituting the electrode body unit, respectively.

本発明のフィルム外装型蓄電装置のフィルム外装体それ自体を構成する外装フィルム(即ちフィルム外装体を構成する封止用フィルム)としては、この種のフィルム外装型蓄電装置(例えば二次電池)の外装体を構成するものであれば特に限定することなく用いることができる。例えば、リチウム二次電池等のフィルム外装体を構成するものとして従来広く使用されているラミネートフィルムが挙げられる。好ましくは高融点樹脂(例えばポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)、ポリアミド(PA)系樹脂)から構成された外面(保護)層と、金属箔(例えばアルミニウム、スチール)から構成されたバリア層(ガスや水分を遮断するバリア層)と、熱融着性樹脂(比較的低融点である樹脂、例えばエチレンビニルアセテート、或いはポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系樹脂)から構成された融着層との三層構造を有するラミネートフィルムを好適に用いることができる。このような三層構造ラミネートフィルムは、適当な加熱圧着手段(例えばヒートプレス機)を使用することによって、それら融着層同士を容易に融着(接着)することができる。   As the exterior film constituting the film exterior body itself of the film exterior type power storage device of the present invention (that is, the sealing film constituting the film exterior body), this kind of film exterior type electrical storage device (for example, secondary battery) is used. If it comprises an exterior body, it can use without limitation. For example, the laminate film conventionally used widely as what comprises film exterior bodies, such as a lithium secondary battery, is mentioned. Preferably, it is composed of an outer surface (protective) layer composed of a high melting point resin (for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyamide (PA) resin) and a metal foil (for example, aluminum, steel). A fusion layer composed of a barrier layer (a barrier layer that blocks gas and moisture) and a heat-fusible resin (a resin having a relatively low melting point, such as an ethylene-vinyl acetate, or an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene). A laminate film having a three-layer structure with a layer can be suitably used. Such a three-layer laminated film can be easily fused (adhered) to each other by using an appropriate thermocompression bonding means (for example, a heat press machine).

次に、本発明に係る絶縁性硬質材料について説明する。絶縁性硬質材料としては、二つの外装フィルム間の融着面において分散状態を維持しつつ、外部接続用端子と外装フィルム(典型的には三層構造ラミネートフィルム)との直接的な接触(例えば三層構造ラミネートフィルムの金属製バリア層と端子との接触)を防止し得る種々の形状・材質のものを使用することができる。
分散させ易いという観点からは微細なビーズ形状(特に球形状ビーズ)のものが好ましく、外装フィルム同士の熱融着時にも影響され難いという観点からは耐熱性の高い樹脂製(例えば融点が300度以上)或いはセラミック製のものが好ましい。例えば、アルミナ、ジルコニア、耐熱性シリカ、窒化珪素、炭化珪素、サイアロン等のセラミック製或いはポリテトラフルオロエチレン、ポリイミド、アラミド等の耐熱性高分子製の絶縁性硬質材料が特に好ましい。これら材質から成るビーズ状硬質材料を使用する場合、その粒径は蓄電装置及び/又は外部接続用端子のサイズや形状によって異なり得るが、例えば端子の厚さが1〜3mm程度である場合、絶縁性硬質材料の平均粒径は10〜100μm程度が好ましく、20〜50μm程度が特に好ましい。平均粒径が100μmよりも大きすぎると、外装フィルムの融着面において当該硬質材料による凹凸が生じるため、外観が悪くなる。他方、平均粒径が10μmよりも小さすぎると所望する効果を奏し得ない。
Next, the insulating hard material according to the present invention will be described. As an insulating hard material, a direct contact between an external connection terminal and an exterior film (typically, a three-layer structure laminate film) while maintaining a dispersed state on a fusion surface between two exterior films (for example, a three-layer laminated film) Various shapes and materials that can prevent contact between the metal barrier layer of the three-layer laminated film and the terminal can be used.
From the viewpoint of being easily dispersed, those having a fine bead shape (especially spherical beads) are preferable, and from the viewpoint that they are not easily affected by heat-sealing of the exterior films (for example, a melting point of 300 ° C.). Above) or ceramic. For example, an insulating hard material made of a ceramic such as alumina, zirconia, heat resistant silica, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, sialon, or a heat resistant polymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide, or aramid is particularly preferable. When using a bead-like hard material made of these materials, the particle size may vary depending on the size and shape of the power storage device and / or the external connection terminal. For example, if the thickness of the terminal is about 1 to 3 mm, insulation The average particle size of the conductive hard material is preferably about 10 to 100 μm, particularly preferably about 20 to 50 μm. When the average particle diameter is too larger than 100 μm, irregularities due to the hard material are generated on the fused surface of the exterior film, so that the appearance is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the average particle size is too small, the desired effect cannot be obtained.

このような硬質材料を相互に融着可能な外装フィルム同士の融着面(具体的には実際に融着される前の表面)に配置する手段は種々あり得る。例えば、外装フィルムの融着面に当該硬質材料を分散した状態で含む液剤を付与(例えば吹き付け或いは塗布)することができる。
好ましくは、外部接続用端子における外装フィルム融着面と対向する表面に、該融着面と融着可能な樹脂層(タブ樹脂とも呼称される。)であって適当な絶縁性硬質材料を分散した状態で含む樹脂層を形成しておく。かかる樹脂層は、一般的な射出成形法、押出成形法によって金属製端子の表面に容易に形成することができる。或いは、端子の表面(好ましくは凹み)に溶融樹脂を単に流し込むことによっても容易に形成することができる。
このような樹脂層付き外部接続用端子を用いることによって、外装フィルムの融着面と外部接続用端子の樹脂層(タブ樹脂)とを融着(典型的には熱融着)したときに該融着樹脂層中(即ち端子の周囲)に絶縁性硬質材料を好適に分散した状態で配置することができる(後述の実施例参照)。
なお、樹脂層を構成する樹脂(タブ樹脂)の種類は、対応する外装フィルム(融着面)側の構成樹脂の種類によって適宜異なり得るが、当該外装フィルム(融着面)側の構成樹脂と同様の樹脂が好ましい。例えば外装フィルムの融着面がポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系樹脂で構成されている場合、外部接続用端子の樹脂層(タブ樹脂)も同じポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系樹脂で構成されていることが好ましい。
There can be various means for disposing such a hard material on a fusion surface (specifically, a surface before actual fusion) between exterior films that can be fused to each other. For example, a liquid agent containing the hard material in a dispersed state can be applied (for example, sprayed or applied) to the fusion surface of the exterior film.
Preferably, a resin layer (also referred to as a tab resin) that can be fused to the fusion surface and a suitable insulating hard material is dispersed on the surface of the external connection terminal facing the exterior film fusion surface. A resin layer is formed in the finished state. Such a resin layer can be easily formed on the surface of the metal terminal by a general injection molding method or extrusion molding method. Alternatively, it can be easily formed by simply pouring molten resin into the surface (preferably a recess) of the terminal.
By using such an external connection terminal with a resin layer, when the fusion surface of the exterior film and the resin layer (tab resin) of the external connection terminal are fused (typically thermal fusion), It is possible to dispose the insulating hard material in a state of being suitably dispersed in the fusion resin layer (that is, around the terminal) (see the examples described later).
In addition, although the kind of resin (tab resin) which comprises a resin layer may change suitably according to the kind of constituent resin by the side of the corresponding exterior film (fusion surface), Similar resins are preferred. For example, when the fusion surface of the exterior film is made of an olefin resin such as polypropylene, the resin layer (tab resin) of the external connection terminal is preferably made of the same olefin resin such as polypropylene.

而して、かかる硬質材料が融着時に外部接続用端子の周囲に分散・配置されている結果、外部接続用端子が所定位置から多少ずれて配置された場合であっても当該硬質材料の介在により外装フィルム(典型的には三層構造ラミネートフィルム)と外部接続用端子との直接的な接触を防止し、短絡等の不具合が発生することを未然に防止することができる。
かかる外部接続用端子の樹脂層(タブ樹脂)に含まれる硬質材料(例えば耐熱性樹脂又はセラミック製のビーズ)の含有率は特に限定されないが、外部接続用端子の位置ずれに伴う不具合の発生防止とフィルム外装体周縁部における高い密閉性の確保という観点からは、樹脂層全体(体積比率)の1〜50vol%程度が硬質材料であることが好ましく、5〜30vol%程度であることが特に好ましい。
Thus, as a result of the hard material being dispersed and arranged around the external connection terminals at the time of fusion, even if the external connection terminals are arranged slightly deviated from a predetermined position, the hard material is interposed. Thus, direct contact between the exterior film (typically, the three-layer structure laminate film) and the external connection terminal can be prevented, and occurrence of problems such as short circuit can be prevented.
The content of the hard material (for example, heat-resistant resin or ceramic beads) contained in the resin layer (tab resin) of the external connection terminal is not particularly limited, but it is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems associated with the positional displacement of the external connection terminal. From the viewpoint of ensuring high sealing performance at the periphery of the film exterior body, it is preferable that about 1 to 50 vol% of the entire resin layer (volume ratio) is a hard material, and particularly preferably about 5 to 30 vol%. .

ここで開示される蓄電装置は、上述の絶縁性硬質材料(分散材)を用いること以外、従来公知の製法によって製造することができる。即ち、所望する性状の電極体ユニットと外部接続用端子とを用意し、それら外部接続用端子及び電極体ユニットを電気的に接続し、得られた外部接続用端子付き電極体ユニットが内部に収容された状態のフィルム外装体を構築する。このとき、適当な絶縁性硬質材料が周囲に分散した状態の外部接続用端子を対向する二つの外装フィルム間に挟み込み、当該対向する二つのフィルムを互いに融着させる。これにより、上記位置ずれに因る不具合の発生を未然に防止した本発明に係るフィルム外装型蓄電装置を得ることができる。   The power storage device disclosed herein can be manufactured by a conventionally known manufacturing method other than using the above-described insulating hard material (dispersing material). That is, an electrode body unit and an external connection terminal having desired properties are prepared, the external connection terminal and the electrode body unit are electrically connected, and the obtained electrode body unit with an external connection terminal is accommodated inside. The film outer package in the state of being made is constructed. At this time, the external connection terminals in a state where a suitable insulating hard material is dispersed are sandwiched between the two facing outer films, and the two facing films are fused to each other. Thereby, the film exterior type electrical storage device according to the present invention can be obtained in which the occurrence of the trouble due to the positional deviation is prevented.

以下、本発明に関する好適な一実施例を図1〜図3を参照しつつ説明するが、本発明をかかる図面に示すものに限定することを意図したものではない。   Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, but the present invention is not intended to be limited to that shown in the drawings.

本実施例はフィルム外装型蓄電装置1の一典型例として、フィルム外装型リチウム二次電池を示したものである。図1は本実施例に係るフィルム外装型蓄電装置1の概略を模式的に示す斜視図である。図2は、フィルム外装体2を取り除いた状態の斜視図である。
図1及び図2に示すように、本実施例に係るフィルム外装型蓄電装置1は、大まかにいって、扁平なフィルム外装体2と、当該フィルム外装体2の内部に収容される扁平形状の電極体ユニット4と、該電極体ユニット4に電気的に接続された一対の薄板状外部接続用端子である正極リード端子30及び負極リード端子40とから構成されている。
The present embodiment shows a film-covered lithium secondary battery as a typical example of the film-covered power storage device 1. FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing an outline of a film-clad power storage device 1 according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the state in which the film outer package 2 is removed.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the film-clad power storage device 1 according to the present embodiment is broadly divided into a flat film-clad body 2 and a flat shape housed in the film-clad body 2. The electrode body unit 4 includes a positive electrode lead terminal 30 and a negative electrode lead terminal 40 which are a pair of thin plate external connection terminals electrically connected to the electrode body unit 4.

フィルム外装体2は、この種の一般的なフィルム外装型扁平電池と同様、重ね合わされた二つの外装フィルム10,20によって構成される。本実施例に係る外装フィルム10,20は従来の一般的な三層構造ラミネートフィルムである。即ち、この外装フィルム10,20は、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂製の外面層(保護層)と、ポリプロピレン樹脂(融点100〜200℃)から構成される薄い融着層12,22と、当該外面相と融着層12,22との間に存在するアルミニウム箔から成るバリア層と、の三層構造で構成される。
外装フィルム10,20の中央部には、融着層12,22側からみて凹部3が形成されている。この凹部3が向かい合うようにして二つの外装フィルム10,20(融着層12,22側)を重ね合わせることによって、フィルム外装体2の内側に電極体ユニット収容空間が形成される。そして、重ね合わせた二つの外装用フィルム10,20の周縁部分10A,20Aを一般的な加熱手段(例えばヒートプレス機)を用いて熱融着し、当該周縁部分10A,20Aを封止することによって、図1に示すような電極体ユニット4を内部に収容した状態のフィルム外装体2が構築される。
The film exterior body 2 is comprised by the two exterior films 10 and 20 piled up similarly to this kind of general film exterior type flat battery. The exterior films 10 and 20 according to the present embodiment are conventional general three-layer structure laminate films. That is, the exterior films 10 and 20 are composed of an outer surface layer (protective layer) made of polyethylene terephthalate resin, thin fusion layers 12 and 22 made of polypropylene resin (melting point 100 to 200 ° C.), and the outer surface phase and the melt. It has a three-layer structure including a barrier layer made of an aluminum foil existing between the adhesion layers 12 and 22.
A recess 3 is formed at the center of the exterior films 10 and 20 when viewed from the side of the fusion layers 12 and 22. The electrode body unit accommodation space is formed inside the film exterior body 2 by overlapping the two exterior films 10 and 20 (on the side of the fusion layers 12 and 22) with the recess 3 facing each other. Then, the peripheral portions 10A and 20A of the two exterior films 10 and 20 overlapped are heat-sealed using a general heating means (for example, a heat press machine), and the peripheral portions 10A and 20A are sealed. Thus, the film exterior body 2 in a state where the electrode body unit 4 as shown in FIG. 1 is housed therein is constructed.

図2に示すように本実施例に係る電極体ユニット4は、アルミニウム製正極シート(正極)6と銅製負極シート(負極)8をセパレータと共に積層し、さらに当該正極シート6と負極シート8とをややずらしつつ捲回して作製される一般的な捲回型電極体ユニット4である。かかる捲回型電極体ユニット4の捲回方向に対する横方向において、上記のようにややずらしつつ捲回された結果として、正極シート6及び負極シート8の端の一部がそれぞれ捲回コア部分7(即ち正極シート6と負極シート8とセパレータとが密に捲回されて成る素子を構成する主要部分)から外方にはみ出ている。かかるはみ出し部分36,46には、正極リード端子30及び負極リード端子40がそれぞれ別方向に延びるようにして種々の接合手段(ここでは超音波接合)によって電気的(通電可能)に接続されている。なお、正極リード端子30はアルミニウム製であり、厚さ約1mmの薄板形状に成形されている。他方、負極リード端子30は銅製であり、正極と同様、厚さ約1mmの薄板形状に成形されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the electrode body unit 4 according to this example includes an aluminum positive electrode sheet (positive electrode) 6 and a copper negative electrode sheet (negative electrode) 8 laminated together with a separator, and further the positive electrode sheet 6 and the negative electrode sheet 8. This is a general wound electrode body unit 4 that is manufactured by winding while slightly shifting. As a result of the winding type electrode body unit 4 being wound while being slightly shifted in the lateral direction with respect to the winding direction, a part of the ends of the positive electrode sheet 6 and the negative electrode sheet 8 are respectively wound core portions 7. That is, it protrudes outward from the main part constituting the element in which the positive electrode sheet 6, the negative electrode sheet 8, and the separator are wound closely. The protruding portions 36 and 46 are electrically connected (can be energized) by various bonding means (in this case, ultrasonic bonding) such that the positive electrode lead terminal 30 and the negative electrode lead terminal 40 extend in different directions. . The positive electrode lead terminal 30 is made of aluminum and is formed into a thin plate shape having a thickness of about 1 mm. On the other hand, the negative electrode lead terminal 30 is made of copper and, like the positive electrode, is formed into a thin plate shape having a thickness of about 1 mm.

図2に示すように、これら正負極リード端子30,40の表面の一部分であって、上記フィルム外装体2の電極体ユニット収容空間に電極ユニット4が収容された際の上記フィルム周縁部分10A,20Aに配置される部分には、樹脂層(タブ樹脂)32,42が一般的な射出成形法によって予め形成されている。本実施例に係る樹脂層32,42は、上記外装フィルム10,20の融着層12,22と同様、ポリプロピレン樹脂を主体として構成されている。そして、該樹脂中には平均粒径が約20μmのアルミナ製ビーズBが分散した状態で混入されている。本実施例では、該アルミナビーズBの含有率は、樹脂層(タブ樹脂)32,42全体の凡そ20vol%である。   As shown in FIG. 2, the film peripheral portion 10 </ b> A when a part of the surface of the positive and negative electrode lead terminals 30, 40 is accommodated in the electrode body unit housing space of the film exterior body 2. Resin layers (tab resins) 32 and 42 are formed in advance by a general injection molding method on the portion disposed at 20A. The resin layers 32 and 42 according to the present embodiment are mainly composed of a polypropylene resin, similarly to the fusion layers 12 and 22 of the exterior films 10 and 20. In the resin, alumina beads B having an average particle diameter of about 20 μm are mixed and dispersed. In this embodiment, the content of the alumina beads B is approximately 20 vol% of the entire resin layers (tab resins) 32 and 42.

而して、図1中のIII−III線断面図(模式図)である図3に示すように、フィルム外装体2を構築する際、これら正負極リード端子30,40の樹脂層32,42が対向する二つの外装フィルム10,20の周縁部分10A,20A(即ち外装フィルム融着面12,22の間)に挟まれた状態で、当該重ね合わせた二つの外装用フィルム10,20の周縁部分10A,20Aを一般的な加熱手段(例えばヒートプレス機)を用いて熱融着する。これにより、正負極リード端子30,40の樹脂層32,42を構成するポリプロピレン樹脂と外装フィルム10,20の融着面12,22を構成するポリプロピレン樹脂とが溶融するとともに融着し、結果、フィルム外装体2周縁部の封止が成される。
このとき、正負極リード端子30,40の樹脂層32,42には、上述のアクリルビーズBが分散しているため、熱融着する際に正負極リード端子30,40の位置ずれが生じた場合であっても当該ビーズBの介在によって正負極リード端子30,40と外装フィルム10,20との直接的な接触、具体的には加熱により溶融した状態の融着層を介さない金属製バリア層(即ち短絡を起こし得る導電層)との接触を防止することができる。
Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view (schematic diagram) taken along line III-III in FIG. 1, when the film exterior body 2 is constructed, the resin layers 32, 42 of these positive and negative electrode lead terminals 30, 40. Is sandwiched between the peripheral portions 10A and 20A (that is, between the exterior film fusion surfaces 12 and 22) of the two exterior films 10 and 20 facing each other. The portions 10A and 20A are heat-sealed using a general heating means (for example, a heat press machine). Thereby, the polypropylene resin constituting the resin layers 32 and 42 of the positive and negative electrode lead terminals 30 and 40 and the polypropylene resin constituting the fusion surfaces 12 and 22 of the exterior films 10 and 20 are melted and fused. As a result, Sealing of the periphery of the film outer package 2 is performed.
At this time, since the above-described acrylic beads B are dispersed in the resin layers 32 and 42 of the positive and negative electrode lead terminals 30 and 40, the positive and negative electrode lead terminals 30 and 40 are misaligned during heat fusion. Even in such a case, the metal barrier does not involve a direct contact between the positive and negative electrode lead terminals 30 and 40 and the exterior films 10 and 20 due to the interposition of the beads B, specifically, a fusion layer that is melted by heating. Contact with a layer (that is, a conductive layer capable of causing a short circuit) can be prevented.

本実施例では、フィルム外装体2の一部において図示しない電解質注入路を確保しつつ、当該部分以外の周縁部分10A,20Aを先ず熱融着する。そして、当該電解質注入路の開口部分(即ち注入口)から電極体ユニット収容空間内に所定のリチウム二次電池用電解質を注入する。電解質の注入後、電解質注入路の部分を熱融着等によって閉塞する。これにより、フィルム外装型蓄電装置1が製造される。なお、かかる電解質注入路の形成及び電解質注入プロセスは、従来のフィルム外装型リチウム二次電池の製造で行われている手法と同様でよく、本発明を特徴付けるものではない。なお、ここで注入される電解質は従来からリチウム二次電池の電解質として使用されるものであれば特に制限なく使用し得、本発明を特徴付けるものではない。典型的には液状(例えば非水電解液)或いはゲル状であるポリマー電解質を用いる。例えば、ジエチルカーボネート(DEC)とエチレンカーボネート(EC)の混合溶媒(例えばDEC:ECが7:3の質量比である混合溶媒)にリチウム塩として1mol/LのLiPFを溶解した非水電解液を好適に使用することができる。 In this embodiment, the peripheral portions 10A and 20A other than the portion are first heat-sealed while securing an electrolyte injection path (not shown) in a part of the film outer package 2. And predetermined electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries is inject | poured in the electrode body unit accommodation space from the opening part (namely, injection port) of the said electrolyte injection path. After the injection of the electrolyte, the electrolyte injection path is closed by heat fusion or the like. Thereby, the film exterior type electrical storage device 1 is manufactured. It should be noted that the formation of the electrolyte injection path and the electrolyte injection process may be the same as those performed in the production of a conventional film-covered lithium secondary battery, and do not characterize the present invention. The electrolyte injected here can be used without particular limitation as long as it is conventionally used as an electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries, and does not characterize the present invention. Typically, a polymer electrolyte that is liquid (eg, non-aqueous electrolyte) or gel is used. For example, a nonaqueous electrolytic solution in which 1 mol / L LiPF 6 is dissolved as a lithium salt in a mixed solvent of diethyl carbonate (DEC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) (for example, a mixed solvent in which DEC: EC is a mass ratio of 7: 3). Can be preferably used.
