Description

本発明は、熱融着性シートからなり袋状の電池容器内に担体物質を収容し、この担体物質収容室に電解液を注入する注液装置と、この注液装置を用いて電池を製造する電池の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a liquid injection device for containing a carrier substance in a bag-shaped battery container made of a heat-fusible sheet, and injecting an electrolyte into the carrier substance storage chamber, and to produce a battery using this liquid injection device The present invention relates to a battery manufacturing method.

近時の、いわゆるIT(情報技術)の拡大化にともない、該当するほとんど大部分の機器は小型で軽量化が求められている。そのため、機器の電源としての二次電池も当然、軽く、薄く、かつ小さいものでなければならない。電池製造としての種々の試行錯誤を経たあと、たとえば食品加工業などで多用されているフィルムで食品を真空パックする技術を電池製造に転用することが可能であるかの考えを持つに至った。   With the recent expansion of so-called IT (information technology), most applicable devices are required to be small and light. For this reason, the secondary battery as a power source for the device must naturally be light, thin, and small. After going through various trials and errors as battery manufacturing, for example, it came to the idea that it would be possible to divert the technology for vacuum packing food with a film often used in the food processing industry to battery manufacturing.

この場合、電池容器の外装として熱融着性シートである、たとえばアルミラミネートフィルムを用いるのが妥当である。上記フィルムを横長の矩形状に形成し、幅方向中央部に上下に亘って2つ折り線を形成し、左右いずれか一方で、かつ下半分の部分にプレス加工により突部を形成する。   In this case, it is appropriate to use, for example, an aluminum laminate film, which is a heat-fusible sheet, as the outer casing of the battery container. The film is formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape, a fold line is formed in the center in the width direction, and a protrusion is formed by pressing in either the left or right and the lower half.

上記突部に、扁平状で多孔の電極コイルである担体物質を収容し、かつ上記折れ線に沿って折曲して面合わせをなし、一側辺部と下辺部を加熱融着して、袋状の電池容器を成形する。上辺部が電池容器の開口部となり、ここから電解液を注入して担体物質収容室にある担体物質に含浸させたあと、上記開口部をシールすることにより、電池製造における所定の工程が終了する。   The projecting portion accommodates a carrier material which is a flat and porous electrode coil, and is bent along the fold line so as to be face-to-face, and the one side portion and the lower side portion are heated and fused to form a bag. A shaped battery container is formed. The upper side becomes the opening of the battery container, and after injecting the electrolyte from this to impregnate the carrier material in the carrier material storage chamber, the opening is sealed to complete a predetermined process in battery production. .

ところで、生産量と信頼性を確保するため、所定量の電解液を電池容器内へ注入することと、注入した電解液を担体物質に含浸させることを、短時間で確実に行わせる必要がある。   By the way, in order to ensure production volume and reliability, it is necessary to ensure that a predetermined amount of electrolyte is injected into the battery container and that the injected electrolyte is impregnated in the carrier material in a short time. .

[特許文献1]では、注液ノズルの挿入がし易いように、電池容器である外装フィルム体の先端側開口部がロート状に加工されているものを用いている。すなわち、別途、注入用ロートの着脱を不要としている。あるいは、別の先行技術として、電池容器開口部近傍のシート面に両側から吸着パッドを当接し、かつ吸着しながら後退させることにより、電池容器開口部の開口量が拡大する。したがって、注液ノズルを開口部に挿入し易くなる。
特開2001−15099号公報
In [Patent Document 1], the one in which the opening on the front end side of the exterior film body which is a battery container is processed into a funnel shape is used so that the injection nozzle can be easily inserted. That is, it is not necessary to attach and detach the injection funnel separately. Alternatively, as another prior art, the opening amount of the battery container opening is enlarged by bringing the suction pad into contact with the sheet surface near the battery container opening from both sides and retracting while sucking. Therefore, it becomes easy to insert the liquid injection nozzle into the opening.
JP 2001-15099 A

しかしながら、電池容器は、その一面側に突部である担体物質収容室が突出し、他面側が平坦状をなしているため、担体物質収容室の端縁に沿うシール面相互が密着してほとんど隙間がない。   However, the battery container has a protruding carrier substance storage chamber on one side and a flat surface on the other side, so that the sealing surfaces along the edge of the carrier substance storage chamber are in close contact with each other and almost no gaps are formed. There is no.

勿論、担体物質収容室の上端縁もほとんど隙間がないので、注入された電解液が容易には通過しない。電解液を早急に注液すると、収容室上端縁の通過量を上回る注液がなされて、電解液が開口部からオーバーフローしたり、電池容器外部に飛散する虞れがあり、液量不足となってしまう。
電解液を電解物質収容室に注入したとしても、多孔材からなる担体物質に含まれているエアーやガスなどの気泡が逃げ難く、電解液が含浸するのに長い時間がかかって生産性が悪い。気泡を残したまま開口部をシールしてしまうと、当然、電池性能に悪影響を及ぼす。
Of course, since there is almost no gap at the upper edge of the carrier substance storage chamber, the injected electrolyte does not pass easily. Immediately injecting the electrolyte, the amount exceeding the upper edge of the storage chamber will be injected, and the electrolyte may overflow from the opening or splash outside the battery container, resulting in a shortage of liquid. End up.
Even when the electrolyte is injected into the electrolyte storage chamber, bubbles such as air and gas contained in the porous carrier material are difficult to escape, and it takes a long time to impregnate the electrolyte, resulting in poor productivity. . If the opening is sealed with air bubbles remaining, the battery performance is naturally adversely affected.

本発明は上述の課題を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的とするところは、電池容器に電解液を注入するにあたって、電解液をオーバーフローすることなく短時間で効率よく注入でき、かつエアー等を確実に脱泡させて電解液を担体物質に含浸させ、安定した品質で信頼性の高い電池性能を得られる注液装置および電池の製造方法を提供しようとするものである。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to inject the electrolytic solution into the battery container efficiently and in a short time without overflowing the electrolytic solution, and An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid injection device and a battery manufacturing method capable of defoaming air or the like and impregnating a carrier material with an electrolytic solution to obtain stable and reliable battery performance.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面にもとづいて説明する。
図1は、注液装置を備えた電池製造装置の概略の平面図である。
ワークは、一端が開口する袋状の熱融着性シート内に、電極である担体物質が収納された電池容器Sである。
装置本体1の図において左側端部に設けられる供給部2に電池容器Sが供給された状態で、電池容器Sは1枚ずつ分離され、かつ電池容器Sの開口部が上部側になるよう立て姿勢に支持されている。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a battery manufacturing apparatus provided with a liquid injection device.
The work is a battery container S in which a carrier material as an electrode is accommodated in a bag-like heat-fusible sheet having one end opened.
In the state of the apparatus main body 1, the battery containers S are separated one by one in a state where the battery containers S are supplied to the supply unit 2 provided at the left end, and the opening of the battery container S is on the upper side. Supported by posture.

上記供給部2と並行して、キャリア搬送機構aを備えた移載部3が設けられる。この移載部3では、専用キャリアをキャリア搬送機構aが支持して、所定間隔を存して搬送する。そして、専用キャリア1列分の電池容器Sを一括し、その成立状態を保持したまま別のキャリアに移載する。
上記移載部3の搬送方向端部に対向し、かつ雰囲気を隔てる仕切りを介して注液装置Eが配置される。この注液装置Eは、成形部5と、この成形部5に隣接して配置される複数の注液部6A,6Bと、これら注液部6A,6Bの下部に設けられる秤量検査部7と、一方の注液部6Bに隣設された不良払い出し部8および、含浸部9とから構成される。
In parallel with the supply unit 2, a transfer unit 3 including a carrier transport mechanism a is provided. In the transfer unit 3, the dedicated carrier is supported by the carrier transport mechanism a and transported at a predetermined interval. Then, the battery containers S for one row of the dedicated carrier are collectively transferred to another carrier while maintaining the established state.
A liquid injection device E is arranged through a partition facing the end of the transfer unit 3 in the transport direction and separating the atmosphere. The liquid injection device E includes a molding unit 5, a plurality of liquid injection units 6A and 6B disposed adjacent to the molding unit 5, and a weighing inspection unit 7 provided below the liquid injection units 6A and 6B. The defective dispensing section 8 and the impregnation section 9 which are adjacent to the one liquid injection section 6B.

上記成形部5と注液部6A,6Bおよび含浸部9の、構成の詳細と作用については、別途、後述する。
上記注液部6A,6Bは、専用キャリアに支持される電池容器Sのうちの、半分の電池容器Sに対する注液をはじめの注液部6Aが2度に分けて行い、残りの半分の電池容器Sに対する注液をあとの注液部6Bが2度に分けて行う。
上記注液部6A,6Bの近傍には、電解液を貯溜するタンク10が配置されていて、上記注液部6A,6Bに備えられる注液手段を構成するポンプと、注液ノズルとを配管を介して連通している。
Details of the configuration and operation of the molding part 5, the liquid injection parts 6A and 6B, and the impregnation part 9 will be described later.
The liquid injection parts 6A and 6B are divided into two parts by the first liquid injection part 6A for injecting liquid into the half of the battery containers S supported by the dedicated carrier, and the remaining half of the batteries. The subsequent liquid injection part 6B performs the liquid injection into the container S twice.
In the vicinity of the liquid injection parts 6A and 6B, a tank 10 for storing an electrolytic solution is disposed, and a pump constituting the liquid injection means provided in the liquid injection parts 6A and 6B and a liquid injection nozzle are piped. It communicates through.

上記秤量検査部7は、注液中の電池容器Sを計量して、その検知信号を注液部6A,6Bの制御機構にフィードバックする。したがって、実際に秤量検査部7が計量するのは担体物質を収容した電池容器Sと、注入された電解液との総量になる。
上記不良払い出し部8は、秤量検査部8が検出した規定外である注液不良の電池容器を払い出すようになっている。上記含浸部9は、第1の含浸用チャンバ9Aと、この第1の含浸用チャンバ9Aとは所定間隔を存した位置に配置される第2の含浸用チャンバ9Bとから構成される。
The weighing inspection unit 7 measures the battery container S in the liquid injection, and feeds back the detection signal to the control mechanism of the liquid injection units 6A and 6B. Therefore, what is actually measured by the weighing inspection unit 7 is the total amount of the battery container S containing the carrier material and the injected electrolyte.
The defective dispensing unit 8 is configured to dispense a battery container with poor liquid injection that is out of the regulation detected by the weighing inspection unit 8. The impregnation portion 9 includes a first impregnation chamber 9A and a second impregnation chamber 9B disposed at a predetermined distance from the first impregnation chamber 9A.

各含浸用チャンバ9A,9Bの相互間には搬送ロボット11が配置され、あとの注液部6Bから搬出される専用キャリアを各含浸用チャンバ9A,9Bの空きスペースに移載する。そして、後述する含浸工程を完了した時点で各電池容器Sを取り出すようになっている。
このような注液装置Eに隣接して、封口シール部12が配置される。この封口シール部12は、電池容器Sの開口部をシールするシール機構(図示しない)を収容するチャンバ13と、このチャンバ13の搬送両側端に連設される入口側圧力置換室14および出口側圧力置換室15とからなる。
A transfer robot 11 is disposed between the impregnation chambers 9A and 9B, and a dedicated carrier unloaded from the subsequent liquid injection unit 6B is transferred to the empty space of the impregnation chambers 9A and 9B. And each battery container S is taken out when the impregnation process mentioned later is completed.
Adjacent to such a liquid injection device E, the sealing seal portion 12 is disposed. The sealing portion 12 includes a chamber 13 that houses a sealing mechanism (not shown) that seals the opening of the battery container S, and an inlet-side pressure replacement chamber 14 and an outlet side that are connected to both ends of the conveyance of the chamber 13. And a pressure replacement chamber 15.

各圧力置換室14,15は、置換室外部と対向して開閉する外部シャッタと、チャンバ13との間に設けられる内部シャッタを開閉することにより、それぞれの内部をチャンバ13と同一の圧力条件(低圧力条件)下に設定し、もしくは大気圧に開放できる。
チャンバ13内を所定の低圧圧力条件下にした状態で、シール機構が作用して電池容器Sの上端部を加熱溶融させ、開口部をシールする封口シール作用がなされる。チャンバ13内に収容される全ての電池容器Sの開口部が封口されると、チャンバ内は大気圧に開放される。
Each of the pressure replacement chambers 14 and 15 opens and closes an external shutter that opens and closes opposite the exterior of the replacement chamber and an internal shutter provided between the chamber 13, so that each interior has the same pressure condition ( Low pressure condition) or open to atmospheric pressure.
In a state where the inside of the chamber 13 is under a predetermined low pressure condition, a sealing mechanism acts to heat and melt the upper end portion of the battery container S, thereby performing a sealing function of sealing the opening. When the openings of all the battery containers S accommodated in the chamber 13 are sealed, the inside of the chamber is opened to atmospheric pressure.

出口側圧力置換室15に対向してアンローダ部16が設けられる。このアンローダ部16に備えられるロボットは、出口側圧力置換室15の外部シャッタが開放された状態で、この内部に延出し、内部の専用キャリアを取り出して装置外に搬出するようになっている。
つぎに、注液装置Eを構成する成形部5と、注液部6A,6Bおよび含浸部9の構成と、これらの作用について詳述する。
An unloader portion 16 is provided so as to face the outlet side pressure replacement chamber 15. The robot provided in the unloader section 16 extends to the inside of the outlet side pressure replacement chamber 15 with the external shutter open, takes out the dedicated carrier inside, and carries it out of the apparatus.
Next, the configuration of the molding unit 5, the liquid injection units 6 </ b> A and 6 </ b> B, and the impregnation unit 9 constituting the liquid injection device E and their functions will be described in detail.

図2(A)は、供給工程にある状態の電池容器Sおよび拡大手段との位置関係を表す斜視図であり、図2(B)はその断面図である。
電池容器Sは、熱融着性シートである、たとえばアルミラミネートフィルムから成形される。電池容器Sの下部側で、かつ一面側に、担体物質Tを収容して突出する担体物質収容室20が設けられる。
FIG. 2A is a perspective view showing the positional relationship between the battery case S and the enlarging means in the supply process, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view thereof.
The battery container S is a heat-fusible sheet, for example, formed from an aluminum laminate film. A carrier material accommodation chamber 20 that accommodates and protrudes the carrier material T is provided on the lower surface side and one surface side of the battery container S.

電池容器Sは、熱融着性シートを横長矩形状に切断し、幅方向中央部に沿って折れ線を形成し、左右に折り曲げたあと、一側辺部mと下辺部nとを貼り合わせて、上端に開口部bを有する袋状をなす。
このような電池容器Sが供給された状態では、上端縁である開口部bから上記担体物質収容室20上端縁まではシート両面がほぼ密着状態になっていて、隙間がほとんど形成されない。
The battery container S is obtained by cutting the heat-fusible sheet into a horizontally-long rectangular shape, forming a fold line along the widthwise central portion, bending the left and right sides, and bonding the one side portion m and the lower side portion n together. A bag shape having an opening b at the upper end is formed.
In such a state in which the battery container S is supplied, both sides of the sheet are in close contact with each other from the opening b, which is the upper edge, to the upper edge of the carrier material storage chamber 20, so that almost no gap is formed.

上記した電池容器Sが供給部2から成形部5に供給される供給工程がある。そして、上記成形部5においては、はじめに、拡大手段をなす第1の吸着パッドP1と、第2の吸着パッドP2および第3の吸着パッドP3に対向する。
第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3は、その先端に、たとえばゴム材などの弾性部材からなる吸盤を備え、図示しない高圧ホースを介してバキュームポンプに接続される。また、第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3は、図示しない支持機構に往復動自在に支持される。
There is a supply process in which the battery container S described above is supplied from the supply unit 2 to the forming unit 5. And in the said shaping | molding part 5, first, it opposes the 1st suction pad P1 which makes an expansion means, the 2nd suction pad P2, and the 3rd suction pad P3.
Each of the first to third suction pads P1 to P3 includes a suction cup made of an elastic member such as a rubber material at the tip thereof, and is connected to a vacuum pump via a high pressure hose (not shown). The first to third suction pads P1 to P3 are supported by a support mechanism (not shown) so as to be able to reciprocate.

これら吸着パッドP1〜P3は、電池容器Sに対する位置が設定されている。第1の吸着パッドP1は、電池容器Sの一面側で担体物質収容室20の上方部位における、幅方向中央部に対向する。すなわち、第1の吸着パッドP1は、上端開口部bの中央部分に対向する。
第2の吸着パッドP2は、第1の吸着パッドP1と電池容器Sを介在した対向部位にあり、電池容器Sの他面側で上端開口部bの中央部分に対向する。第3の吸着パッドP3は、第2の吸着パッドP2の下方部位で、かつ担体物質収容室20上端縁の裏面部位に対向している。
The positions of the suction pads P1 to P3 with respect to the battery container S are set. The first suction pad P <b> 1 faces the central portion in the width direction in the upper portion of the carrier material storage chamber 20 on one side of the battery container S. That is, the first suction pad P1 faces the center portion of the upper end opening b.
The second suction pad P <b> 2 is in a facing portion where the first suction pad P <b> 1 and the battery container S are interposed, and faces the central portion of the upper end opening b on the other surface side of the battery container S. The third suction pad P3 is a lower part of the second suction pad P2 and faces the back surface part of the upper edge of the carrier substance storage chamber 20.

図3(A)は第1の拡大工程が行われている状態の電池容器Sと拡大手段との関係を表す斜視図であり、図3(B)は電池容器裏面側の斜視図であり、図3(C)はその断面図である。
指示信号が入ると第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3は一斉に往動駆動され、電池容器Sを構成するシートに接触する。同時にバキュームポンプが駆動され、各吸着パッドP1〜P3は電池容器Sを構成するシートを真空吸着する。
FIG. 3 (A) is a perspective view showing the relationship between the battery container S and the expansion means in a state where the first expansion process is being performed, and FIG. 3 (B) is a perspective view of the battery container back side, FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view thereof.
When the instruction signal is input, the first to third suction pads P1 to P3 are driven forward all at once and come into contact with the sheet constituting the battery container S. At the same time, the vacuum pump is driven, and the suction pads P1 to P3 vacuum-suck the sheets constituting the battery container S.

所定のタイミングをとって第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3は所定距離だけ後退する。したがって、第1、第2の吸着パッドP1、P2の作用で、電池容器Sの開口部bで幅方向中央部のシート間隔が拡大される。すなわち、開口部bで幅方向中央部の開口量が強制的に広がる。さらに、第3の吸着パッドP3の作用で、担体物質収容室20の開口部bに近い上端縁部位が強制的に広がる、第1の拡大工程が行われる。   The first to third suction pads P1 to P3 move backward by a predetermined distance at a predetermined timing. Therefore, the sheet interval at the center in the width direction is enlarged at the opening b of the battery case S by the action of the first and second suction pads P1 and P2. That is, the opening amount of the central portion in the width direction is forcibly expanded at the opening b. Furthermore, a first enlargement process is performed in which the upper edge portion near the opening b of the carrier substance accommodation chamber 20 is forcibly expanded by the action of the third adsorption pad P3.

図4(A)は、第1の拡大工程が終了し、かつ第2の拡大工程が行われる以前の状態の電池容器Sと成形手段との関係を表す斜視図であり、図4(B)はその断面図である。
第1の拡大工程での第1〜第3の各吸着パッドP1〜P3の位置姿勢を保持したまま、電池容器Sの開口部b上方部位で、かつ開口部bの両側端に、成形手段を構成する成形ノズルN1,N2が対向する。
FIG. 4A is a perspective view showing the relationship between the battery container S and the forming means in a state before the first expansion process is completed and the second expansion process is performed, and FIG. Is a cross-sectional view thereof.
While maintaining the position and orientation of each of the first to third suction pads P1 to P3 in the first enlargement step, forming means is provided at the upper part of the opening b of the battery container S and at both ends of the opening b. The forming nozzles N1 and N2 to be configured face each other.

すなわち、上記成形ノズルN1,N2は、一対(2組)備えられ、それぞれ軸心を上下方向に向け、図示しない昇降機構に支持されて垂直方向に昇降自在となっている。
図8(A)(B)は、互いに異なる形態の成形ノズルNa、Nbの断面図を示している。
図8(A)に示す成形ノズルNaは、互いに異なる種類の合成樹脂材によるノズル本体25およびアタッチメント部26とから構成される。上記ノズル本体25は、直径10mm程度の杆状をなし、先端(下端)が尖鋭状に形成されている。
That is, the forming nozzles N1 and N2 are provided in a pair (two sets), each having an axial center in the vertical direction and supported by a lifting mechanism (not shown) so as to be vertically movable.
8A and 8B are cross-sectional views of molding nozzles Na and Nb having different forms.
The molding nozzle Na shown in FIG. 8A is composed of a nozzle body 25 and an attachment part 26 made of different types of synthetic resin materials. The nozzle body 25 has a bowl shape with a diameter of about 10 mm, and the tip (lower end) is formed in a sharp shape.

上記アタッチメント部26は、ノズル本体25の周部に着脱自在に嵌着されていて、この下端部のみテーパー状をなしている。そして、アタッチメント部26の直径が20mmから30mm程度までの異なるものが複数種用意され、仕様にもとづいて交換自在となっている。
図8(B)に示す成形ノズルNbも合成樹脂材からなり、先端からテーパー状に形成されている。基端の直径が異なるものが複数種用意され、仕様にもとづいていずれかの直径のものが用いられる。
The attachment part 26 is detachably fitted to the peripheral part of the nozzle body 25, and only the lower end part is tapered. A plurality of different attachments 26 having a diameter of about 20 mm to about 30 mm are prepared and can be exchanged based on specifications.
The molding nozzle Nb shown in FIG. 8B is also made of a synthetic resin material and is tapered from the tip. Plural types with different diameters at the base end are prepared, and those with any diameter are used based on the specifications.

いずれのタイプの成形ノズルNa,Nbにおいても、基端から先端に亘る軸芯に沿って高圧エアー供給孔27が貫通して設けられ、かつ基端には高圧ホース28が接続される。上記高圧ホース28は図示しないエアーコンプレッサに連通されていて、これらで高圧エアー供給手段が構成される。
図5(A)は、第2の拡大工程が行われる状態の電池容器Sの斜視図であり、図5(B)は、その断面図である。
継続して第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3による拡大開口処理がなされていて、指示信号にもとづいて成形ノズルN1,N2は同時に下降駆動される。各成形ノズルN1,N2は、電池容器Sの開口部b両側端に、同時に挿入する。
In any type of forming nozzles Na and Nb, a high-pressure air supply hole 27 is provided through the shaft core extending from the base end to the tip, and a high-pressure hose 28 is connected to the base end. The high pressure hose 28 communicates with an air compressor (not shown), and these constitute high pressure air supply means.
FIG. 5A is a perspective view of the battery container S in a state where the second expansion process is performed, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view thereof.
The expansion opening process is continuously performed by the first to third suction pads P1 to P3, and the molding nozzles N1 and N2 are driven to descend simultaneously based on the instruction signal. The molding nozzles N1 and N2 are simultaneously inserted into both ends of the opening b of the battery container S.

それぞれの成形ノズルN1,N2の先端が尖鋭状に形成されているので、電池容器Sのシート面間隔が僅かであっても円滑に挿入できる。しかも、成形ノズルN1,N2は全体的にテーパー状をなしているので、シート間隔を無理なく押し広げる。
各成形ノズルN1,N2は、同時に、上記担体物質収容室20の極く近傍位置(担体物質収容室の上端縁から約10mm程度)まで挿入される。この状態で、上記第1の拡大工程で拡大された電池容器Sのシート面に、成形ノズルN1,N2の周面形状が転移される。
Since the tips of the molding nozzles N1 and N2 are formed in a sharp shape, they can be smoothly inserted even if the sheet surface spacing of the battery container S is small. In addition, since the forming nozzles N1 and N2 are entirely tapered, the sheet interval is easily expanded.
The molding nozzles N1 and N2 are simultaneously inserted to a position very close to the carrier material storage chamber 20 (about 10 mm from the upper edge of the carrier material storage chamber). In this state, the peripheral surface shape of the forming nozzles N1 and N2 is transferred to the sheet surface of the battery container S expanded in the first expansion step.

各吸着パッドP1〜P3による第1の拡大工程を経たあとで各成形ノズルN1,N2を挿入するので、電池容器Sの担体物質収容室20から上方部位のシート間隔が確実に押し広げられる、第2の拡大工程が行われる。
上記成形ノズルN1,N2の挿入位置が確定したあとで、高圧エアーが供給され成形ノズルN1,N2の先端から瞬間的に噴出する。高圧エアーは、たとえば0.3mPaで、かつ0.3sec間噴出され、これによってシート間隔がさらに拡大する。
Since the molding nozzles N1 and N2 are inserted after the first expansion process by the suction pads P1 to P3, the sheet spacing of the upper part is reliably pushed out from the carrier material storage chamber 20 of the battery container S. Two enlargement steps are performed.
After the insertion positions of the molding nozzles N1 and N2 are determined, high-pressure air is supplied and instantaneously ejected from the tips of the molding nozzles N1 and N2. The high-pressure air is ejected, for example, at 0.3 mPa for 0.3 sec, thereby further increasing the sheet interval.

つぎに、電池容器S内から各成形ノズルN1,N2を抜き出し、かつ第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3による吸着力を解除する。電池容器Sは最も拡大変形した状態で、後述する搬送手段によって成形部5から注液部6A,6Bに移送される。
最低限の移送時間が必要であり、この間に第1、第2の拡大工程で拡大形成された電池容器Sの開口部bがある程度狭まるよう変形するのはやむを得ない。換言すれば、次の工程に全く支障のない程度に開口部bを拡大させている。
Next, each shaping | molding nozzle N1, N2 is extracted from the inside of the battery container S, and the suction | attraction force by the 1st-3rd suction pads P1-P3 is cancelled | released. The battery container S is transferred from the molding part 5 to the liquid injection parts 6A and 6B by a conveying means described later in a state where the battery container S is most expanded and deformed.
A minimum transfer time is required, and during this time, it is inevitable that the opening b of the battery container S enlarged in the first and second expansion steps is deformed to some extent. In other words, the opening b is enlarged to the extent that there is no hindrance to the next process.

図6(A)は、電解液注入工程が行われる状態の、電池容器Sと注液手段Kとの関係を表す斜視図であり、図6(B)は、その断面図である。
注液手段Kである注液ノズルが電池容器S内に挿入され、電解液を電池容器S内に注入する、電解液注入工程がなされる。図においては、1本の注液ノズルKで注液をなすよう表しているが、2本の注液ノズルを電池容器Sの両側端に挿入して注液するようにしてもよい。
6A is a perspective view showing the relationship between the battery container S and the liquid injection means K in a state where the electrolytic solution injection step is performed, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view thereof.
A liquid injection nozzle, which is a liquid injection means K, is inserted into the battery container S, and an electrolytic solution injection step of injecting the electrolytic solution into the battery container S is performed. In the drawing, it is shown that liquid injection is performed by one liquid injection nozzle K, but two liquid injection nozzles may be inserted into both side ends of the battery container S for liquid injection.

いずれにしても、上記第1〜第3の吸着パッドP1〜P3によって開口量が拡大されたうえで、成形ノズルN1,N2によってさらに開口量が拡大成形された電池容器S内に電解液を供給することになる。特に、担体物質収容室20の開口部bに近い端縁部位は充分な間隔を存して開口しているので、電解液の浸透は円滑である。
図9(A)(B)は、互いに異なる形態の注液ノズルKa,Kbの斜視図である。
図9(A)に示すように、ノズル部dが1本である注液ノズルKaと、図9(B)に示すように、ノズル部dが複数本の注液ノズルKbがある。いずれの注液ノズルKa,Kbにおける各ノズル部dも、その口径は互いに同一であり、注入量の仕様にもとづいて注液ノズルKa,Kbのいずれかが選択される。
In any case, after the opening amount is enlarged by the first to third suction pads P1 to P3, the electrolytic solution is supplied into the battery container S whose opening amount is further enlarged by the molding nozzles N1 and N2. Will do. In particular, since the edge portion close to the opening b of the carrier substance accommodation chamber 20 is opened with a sufficient interval, the electrolyte solution can be smoothly penetrated.
9A and 9B are perspective views of liquid injection nozzles Ka and Kb having different forms.
As shown in FIG. 9A, there are a liquid injection nozzle Ka having one nozzle part d and a liquid injection nozzle Kb having a plurality of nozzle parts d as shown in FIG. 9B. The nozzle portions d of any of the liquid injection nozzles Ka and Kb have the same diameter, and one of the liquid injection nozzles Ka and Kb is selected based on the injection amount specification.

すなわち、ノズル部dの口径が必要最小限以上であれば、単位時間当たりの注入量が増加する代りに、注液が終了したあとで先端に液溜り(滴)が生じ易く、ついには液だれ状態になる。
したがって、ノズル部dの口径は必要最小限に抑え、液供給量が少ない場合は1本のノズル部dを備えた注液ノズルKaを用い、液供給量が増大する場合は、ノズル部dの本数の多い注液ノズルKbを用いるとよい。
That is, if the diameter of the nozzle part d is more than the necessary minimum, instead of increasing the injection amount per unit time, a liquid pool (droplet) is likely to be formed at the tip after the liquid injection is completed. It becomes a state.
Therefore, the diameter of the nozzle part d is kept to the minimum necessary. When the liquid supply amount is small, the injection nozzle Ka having one nozzle part d is used, and when the liquid supply amount increases, the nozzle part d A large number of liquid injection nozzles Kb may be used.

このようにして注液工程を終了した電池容器Sを、別の搬送手段が専用キャリア内ヘ移載し、かつ上述した搬送ロボット11が専用キャリアごと含浸部9に搬送する。
図10(A)は、注液された電池容器Sに対する搬送手段30の構成を説明する斜視図であり、図10(B)は、搬送手段30による電池容器Sの搬送状態を説明する斜視図である。
The battery container S that has been subjected to the liquid injection process in this way is transferred to another dedicated carrier in the dedicated carrier, and the above-described transport robot 11 transports the dedicated carrier together with the impregnation unit 9.
FIG. 10A is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of the transport unit 30 with respect to the injected battery container S, and FIG. 10B is a perspective view illustrating the transport state of the battery container S by the transport unit 30. It is.

上記搬送手段30は、注液された電池容器Sに対して、貼り合わされた側辺部mを把持する把持機構31と、貼り合せた下辺部nを掛合する掛合機構32とを備えている。
上記把持機構31は、一対の爪部からなっていて、互いの爪部先端が開いた状態で電池容器Sに対向し、かつ爪部先端が側辺部mを介して当接し、把持状態になる。
The conveying means 30 includes a gripping mechanism 31 that grips the side part m that is pasted on the battery container S that has been injected, and a hooking mechanism 32 that hooks the bottom part n that is pasted.
The gripping mechanism 31 is composed of a pair of claws, facing the battery container S with the tips of the mutual claws open, and the tips of the claws abutting via the side portions m to be in a gripping state. Become.

上記掛合機構32は、上記把持機構31とともに電池容器に対向する位置から移動する。ほぼ平板状をなし、先端から中途部まで割り溝33が設けられていて、ここに電池容器Sの下辺部nが介挿される。
把持機構31が電池容器Sの貼り合わされた側辺部mを把持し、掛合機構32の割り溝33が電池容器Sの貼り合わされた下辺部nに掛合する。つぎに、把持機構31が成形部6から注液部6A,6Bへ、もしくは注液部6A,6Bから専用キャリアへ移動する。
The hooking mechanism 32 moves from a position facing the battery container together with the gripping mechanism 31. It has a substantially flat plate shape and is provided with a dividing groove 33 from the tip to the middle part, and a lower side n of the battery container S is inserted therein.
The gripping mechanism 31 grips the side part m on which the battery container S is bonded, and the split groove 33 of the hooking mechanism 32 is engaged with the lower side part n on which the battery container S is bonded. Next, the gripping mechanism 31 moves from the molding unit 6 to the liquid injection units 6A and 6B or from the liquid injection units 6A and 6B to the dedicated carrier.

掛合機構32は、電池容器Sの側端縁に押されて移動し、把持機構31に追従することになる。把持機構31は電池容器Sの貼り合わされた側辺部mを把持するので、電池容器Sの変形がなく注入した電解液の状態に変化がない。
すなわち、電池容器S内部に電解液が注入された状態で移動しても、内部の電解液には何らの影響も与えることがない。掛合機構32は電池容器Sの下辺部nに掛合するので、電池容器Sの姿勢を保持した状態での搬送が可能となる。
The hooking mechanism 32 moves by being pushed by the side edge of the battery container S and follows the gripping mechanism 31. Since the gripping mechanism 31 grips the side part m to which the battery container S is bonded, there is no deformation of the battery container S and there is no change in the state of the injected electrolyte.
That is, even if the electrolyte solution is moved into the battery container S, there is no influence on the electrolyte solution inside. Since the engaging mechanism 32 engages with the lower side n of the battery container S, it is possible to carry the battery container S while maintaining the posture of the battery container S.

図7(A)(B)(C)は、含浸工程での所定の含浸部9を構成する含浸用チャンバ9A、9Bと、この含浸用チャンバ内に収容される電池容器Sの状態を示す概略の断面図である。
図7(A)に示すように、電池容器Sは含浸部9で所定の圧力条件下に晒される。すなわち、担体物質収容室20に注液された電解液は、担体物質T内に存在する気泡の影響で容易には含浸せず、その大部分が担体物質収容室20に溜まったままで含浸部9に搬入される。
7A, 7B, and 7C are schematic views showing states of impregnation chambers 9A and 9B constituting a predetermined impregnation portion 9 in the impregnation step, and a battery container S accommodated in the impregnation chamber. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7A, the battery container S is exposed to the impregnation portion 9 under a predetermined pressure condition. In other words, the electrolyte injected into the carrier material accommodation chamber 20 is not easily impregnated due to the bubbles present in the carrier material T, and most of the electrolyte solution remains in the carrier material accommodation chamber 20 while remaining in the carrier material accommodation chamber 20. It is carried in.

含浸部9において所定の低圧条件下の環境に晒されるところから、担体物質T内および電解液内に存在する気泡が脱気される。代って、担体物質収容室20に溜まっていた電解液が担体物質T自体に浸透し含浸する。
この含浸部9には、圧迫機構40が収容されている。上記圧迫機構40は、往復駆動される一対の板体からなり、これら板体相互間隙に電池容器Sの特に、担体物質収容室20が介在するよう位置決めされる。
Since the impregnation portion 9 is exposed to an environment under a predetermined low-pressure condition, bubbles existing in the carrier material T and in the electrolytic solution are degassed. Instead, the electrolyte accumulated in the carrier material storage chamber 20 penetrates and impregnates the carrier material T itself.
The impregnation portion 9 accommodates a compression mechanism 40. The compression mechanism 40 is composed of a pair of plates that are driven in a reciprocating manner, and is positioned so that the carrier material storage chamber 20 of the battery container S is interposed between the plates.

含浸部9を所定の低圧条件下に保持している間、圧迫機構40を構成する一対の板体は互いに近接する方向と、離間する方向に往復駆動される。このようにして、圧迫機構40は担体物質収容室20を両側から圧迫し、かつ解放する、圧迫・解放工程が同時に行われる。
以上の工程を所定時間(約20分間)継続することにより、担体物質T内および電解液内に存在する気泡が完全に脱気され、電解液は担体物質T内に含浸する。そこで、図7(C)に示すように、含浸部9を大気開放して大気圧に戻す。
While the impregnation portion 9 is held under a predetermined low pressure condition, the pair of plate bodies constituting the compression mechanism 40 is driven to reciprocate in a direction approaching and a distance from each other. In this manner, the compression mechanism 40 simultaneously performs the compression / release process of pressing and releasing the carrier material storage chamber 20 from both sides.
By continuing the above process for a predetermined time (about 20 minutes), bubbles present in the carrier material T and the electrolyte solution are completely degassed, and the electrolyte solution is impregnated in the carrier material T. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7C, the impregnation portion 9 is opened to the atmosphere and returned to atmospheric pressure.
