Description

  The present invention relates to a power storage system, and more particularly to a power storage system in which a plurality of capacitor cells are accommodated in a container.

For example, Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1 have proposed a power storage system (electric double layer capacitor) in which a plurality of capacitor cells are built in a container. In these documents, it is pointed out that the burden voltage of each capacitor cell is equalized as a problem when configuring a power storage system by connecting a plurality of large-capacity capacitors in series.

This technology is composed of a high-performance electric double layer capacitor and an electric circuit that maximizes its capabilities, and efficiently controls the original capacitor technology including the development of nanogate carbon and the charging current. By combining with electronic circuits incorporating technology and the like, an innovative power storage system that has never existed can be provided.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, in the parallel monitor, the comparator 301 monitors each capacitor cell 300 in comparison with the capacitor cell charging voltage and the reference voltage Vref, and the charging voltage of the capacitor cell 151 is predetermined. When the set value is exceeded, the transistor 302 is turned on to bypass the charging current. By this operation, the charging voltage of the capacitor cell 151 is maintained at the set value, and the constant voltage relaxation charging mode is set between the time when another capacitor cell connected in series reaches the full charge and the subsequent discharge. To form. The power storage system having the parallel monitor configured as described above initializes (clamps) the voltage of the capacitor cell at the upper limit, and charges and discharges the capacitor based on the initial value, whereby the voltage distribution of the capacitor varies depending on the individual capacitance. And problems caused by variations in charging start voltage were resolved.

  However, in a power storage system having such a parallel monitor, a plurality of capacitor cells must be electrically connected to corresponding control circuits as shown in the circuit diagram of FIG. The control circuit is disposed above the plurality of capacitor cells. Therefore, if a plurality of capacitor cells move up and down due to an impact such as dropping, the capacitor cells may hit the control circuit and be damaged, or the wiring connecting each capacitor cell and the control circuit may be damaged.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a power storage system having impact durability, particularly strong impact resistance against vertical impact.

  Specifically, the present invention provides a cell assembly (150) composed of a plurality of capacitor cells (151) arranged in parallel, and a plurality of capacitor cells (151) arranged above the cell assembly (150). A cell assembly (150) in a storage circuit (10) in which a control circuit (183) for controlling the charging of each of the capacitor, a capacitor cell (151) and a control circuit (183) are housed in one housing (11) The frame (140) is provided with restricting portions (171, 175) for fixing the frame (140) in the housing (11) and restricting the upward movement of the cell assembly (150) surrounded by the frame (140). It is characterized by that.

  According to the power storage system (10) configured as described above, even when an impact in the vertical direction acts on the power storage system (10) due to an accident such as dropping, the upward movement is restricted by the restricting portions (171, 175). The cell assembly (150) does not move upward relative to the frame (140) as a whole, and there is no relative vertical displacement between the capacitor cells (151). The control circuit (183) arranged on the assembly (150) is not damaged. Moreover, since an excessive force does not act on the wiring connected to each capacitor cell (151), the electrical connection between the two is not damaged. Furthermore, by adding or changing a simple configuration, that is, using the configuration of a conventional power storage system as it is, improving the impact resistance, durability, and reliability of the power storage system without causing a significant increase in cost. Can be planned.

  An embodiment of a capacitor power storage system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, terms indicating a specific direction based on the position of the system or its components shown in the drawings (for example, “up”, “down”, “right”, “left”, and their Other terms including terms) are used to facilitate understanding of the invention with reference to the drawings and should not be used to interpret the technical scope of the invention.

  1A and 1B show a capacitor power storage system (hereinafter referred to as “power storage system”) 10 according to the present invention. As illustrated, the power storage system 10 includes a substantially box-shaped housing 11 similar to a battery mounted on, for example, an automobile.

  The housing 11 includes a lower structure container 100 and an upper structure lid 120. As shown in FIG. 2, the container 100 is formed by molding an electrically insulating material, and includes a box-shaped container having a rectangular opening 101 at the top. The size and shape of the container 100, particularly the length in the horizontal longitudinal direction and the horizontal width direction, vary depending on the number of capacitor cells (described later) accommodated in the container 100. The outer shape of the container 100 is such that, in the region where the side wall 102 in the long side direction and the side wall 103 in the short side direction intersect, the corners extending in the vertical direction of the four corners are chamfered, and the substantially flat corner surface 104 extending in the vertical direction is formed. Is formed. The corner surface 104 extends upward from the container bottom 105 and ends at an inclined corner surface 107 that extends obliquely outward and upward near the container upper end 106. The side wall 103 in the short side direction has a belt-like depression 108 extending upward from the container bottom 105 and ending near the container upper end 106 at a substantially central portion in the horizontal direction. In the embodiment, a fixing engagement capable of engaging an engaging member (for example, a hook) for fixing the power storage system 10 to the bottom surface (vertical surface) 109 of the belt-like depression 108 in the vicinity of the container bottom 105. A recess 110 or a protrusion (not shown) is formed.

  The internal shape of the container 100 is on the back side (inside) of each inclined corner surface 104 and has a corner step portion (receiving portion) 111 at a height position lower than the container upper end 106 by a predetermined distance. A screw hole 112 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate. Reinforcing ribs 113 and 114 formed of a plurality of protrusions extending in the vertical direction are integrally formed on the inner surfaces of the side walls 102 and 103 in the long side direction and the short side direction, respectively. These reinforcing ribs 113 and 114 function as a restricting portion that restricts the movement of the power storage unit 12 (see FIG. 1B) accommodated in the container 100. Further, a substantially U-shaped cutout 115 is formed on one side wall 102 in the longitudinal direction, except for a predetermined depth at the center of the container upper end 106.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid 120 is generally made of a rectangular plate-like member corresponding to the rectangular opening 101 of the container 100, and is molded of an electrically insulating material like the container 100. . On the lower surface of the lid 120, an annular ridge fitting portion 121 extending downward is continuously formed inside the outer peripheral edge and along the outer peripheral edge, and the cover 120 is attached to the container 100. Thus, the protruding fitting part 121 is fitted into the inside of the container opening 101. A fitting portion 122 having a shape and a size corresponding to the container cutout portion 115 is formed at the center of one edge portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the lid 120. As shown in the figure, the fitting portion 122 has a substantially U-shaped bottom portion 123 and a vertical wall 124 positioned at the inner end of the substantially U-shaped bottom portion 123, and a rectangular opening for exposing a terminal is formed in the vertical wall 124. A portion 125 is formed.

  Screw through holes 126 corresponding to the screw holes 112 (see FIG. 2) of the container 100 are formed at the four corners of the lid 120, and screws 127 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B) inserted into these screw through holes 126. ) Is screwed into the container screw hole 112 to fix the lid 120 to the container 100. As shown in FIG. 1B, the head of the screw 127 is preferably covered with a cap 127a made of an electrically insulating material.

  Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid 120 has terminal lead holes 128 on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of main terminals 129 (see FIG. 1B) protrudes above the lid 120 through these terminal lead holes 128. I'm allowed. As shown in FIG. 1A, the main terminal 129 exposed from the lid 120 is preferably covered with a detachable terminal cover 129a made of an insulating material.

  Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 3, the upper surface of the lid 120 is recessed along an approximately rectangular outline 130 shown with a predetermined distance from the outer peripheral edge (insulating sheet accommodating recess). ) 131 is formed, and an insulating sheet 132 (see FIGS. 1B and 5) having a size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of the recess 131 is accommodated in the recess 131. The insulating sheet 132 prevents the heat sinks (heat sinks) 135 and 136 described below from being exposed to the outside, and is preferably fixed to the lid 120 with an adhesive, for example.

  Another depression (heat sink accommodating recess) 133 having a substantially convex planar shape when viewed from above is formed inside the depression 131, and further, a penetration having a rectangular planar shape is formed inside the other depression 133. An opening window 134 or a heat radiating plate housing portion is formed, and heat radiating plates 135 and 136 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) each having a shape and a size corresponding to the recess 133 and the opening window 134 are arranged. . Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 8, the former upper radiator plate 135 is accommodated from above in a substantially convex recess 133 and is fixed to the lid 120 with screws 137 (see FIG. 8). As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 9, the latter lower heat sink 136 is disposed on the lower surface of the lid 120 and is in contact with the former heat sink 135 facing the former heat sink 135 through the opening window 134. And connected by a screw 138. As will be described later, the heat sinks 135 and 136 are for releasing heat generated in a heating element (for example, a power transistor) of an electric circuit unit provided in the power storage unit 12 to the atmosphere. It is preferable to form with the material (for example, aluminum, copper) excellent in conductivity.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1B, the power storage unit 12 is accommodated in the housing 11. As shown in FIG. 10, the power storage unit 12 generally includes a frame 140, a cell assembly 150, and an electric circuit unit 180. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the frame 140 includes a rectangular bottom plate 141, a pair of end frames (short side frames) 142 arranged along the short side of the bottom plate 141, and the long side of the bottom plate 141. The end plate 142 and the side plate 143 are connected to each other by a plurality of screws 144. The bottom plate 141 may be connected to the end plate 142, the side plate 143, or both by an appropriate connector (for example, a screw), or may be independent without being connected to them. The end plate 142 has a connecting portion with the side plate 143 or a portion in the vicinity thereof extending upward to form an extension portion 145. The upper portion of the extending portion 145 is bent inward and directed in the horizontal direction, and a lid fixing screw hole 147 is formed in the horizontal portion 146. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1B, the screw 120 is inserted into the through hole 148 formed in the vicinity of the four corners of the lid 120 and screwed into the screw hole 147, thereby connecting the lid 120 and the frame 140. Here, the head of the screw 149 is exposed from the lid 120, but since the screw head is covered with the insulating sheet 132, the operator of the power storage system 10 does not touch the screw 149 directly.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the cell assembly 150 is configured by arranging a plurality of capacitor cells 151. In the embodiment, the cell assembly 150 is configured by stacking twelve capacitor cells 151, but the number is not limited. As shown in FIG. 14, in appearance, each capacitor cell 151 has a package 152 that forms a substantially square bag-shaped container. The package 152 is made of a laminated flexible sheet having at least an innermost layer and an outermost layer made of a film made of an electrically insulating material, and is a positive electrode collector electrode that is two terminal plates from an upper film joint portion 153 and a negative electrode collecting electrode 154 are projected.

  Although omitted from the drawing, inside the package 152, a laminated body in which a plurality of collector electrodes each having an electrode mainly composed of carbon on both sides are stacked together with a separator is accommodated. The positive electrode terminals and the negative electrode terminals of the plurality of collector electrodes are connected to the positive electrode collector electrode 153 and the negative electrode collector electrode 154, respectively.

  Referring to FIG. 13, in order to connect a plurality of capacitor cells 151 in series, a positive electrode collector 153 and a negative electrode collector 154 of the capacitor cell 151 are connected to another capacitor cell 151 adjacent thereto. The positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154 are arranged so as to face each other. In order to securely connect the positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154 in such an arrangement, in the embodiment, the collector electrodes 153 and 154 have a specific shape.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 14, each of the positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154 has a portion led out from the package 152 in the opposite direction (the opposite direction of the stacking direction) at the first bent portion 155. A horizontal portion 156 is formed by being bent at a substantially right angle, and this horizontal portion 156 is again bent upward at the second bent portion 157 to provide a vertical portion 158. In the vertical portion 158, a half portion on one end side is cut away from the center portion with respect to the plate width direction to form a notch portion 159, and the remaining half portion serves as a collector electrode connection portion 160. For example, in the capacitor cell 151 shown in the figure, the vertical part 158 of the positive electrode collector electrode 153 is cut off at the half of the negative electrode collector electrode side (left side in the figure), and the vertical part 158 of the negative electrode collector electrode 154 is opposite to the positive electrode collector electrode. The half on the side (left side in the figure) is cut out.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the plurality of capacitor cells 151 configured in this manner are aligned in parallel with the positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154 of the adjacent capacitor cells 151 facing each other. At this time, the collector electrode connecting portion 160 of the negative electrode collector electrode 154 (negative electrode collector electrode) of the other adjacent capacitor cell 151 is positioned in the cutout portion 159 of the positive electrode collector electrode 153 (negative electrode collector electrode 154) of one capacitor cell 151. The collector electrode connecting portions 160 of the adjacent capacitor cells 151 are arranged in a line. In this way, the two collector electrode connecting portions 160 of the two adjacent capacitor cells 151 arranged in a horizontal row (on the same plane) are connected by an appropriate collector electrode connector and are electrically connected.

  An example of the collector electrode connector is shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B. As shown in the figure, the collector electrode connector 161 is formed in a substantially V shape by bending a single conductive metal plate 162 at a bent portion 163, and a pair of terminal holding pieces 163, 164 facing each other. It has. One terminal holding piece 163 is extended in a direction parallel to the bent portion 163 to form a cable connection portion (cable terminal fitting portion) 165. Each of the terminal holding pieces 163 and 164 has a plurality of protrusions 166 projected from the outer surface toward the inner surface, that is, toward the other terminal holding piece. These protrusions 166 are arranged so that the protrusions 166 of one terminal holding piece 163 and the protrusions 166 of the other terminal holding piece 164 do not face each other in a state of being bent in a substantially V shape as shown in the figure. preferable. Therefore, when connecting the two collector electrode connecting portions 160 arranged in a horizontal row as described above, the two collector electrode connecting portions 160 aligned between the opposing terminal holding pieces 163 and 164 are positioned. Thereafter, the terminal holding pieces 163 and 164 are bent in the facing direction to press and clamp the collector electrode connecting portion 160. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15C and FIG. 15E in which a part thereof is enlarged, the protrusions 166 formed on the opposing inner surfaces of the terminal holding pieces 163 and 164 bite into both surfaces of the collector electrode connecting portion 160, The parts 160 are securely connected. As shown in FIG. 16, the collector electrode connector 161 connected to the collector electrode connector 160 in this manner is electrically connected to the cable connector 165 by inserting the cable terminal 174b fixed to one end of the wiring cable 174a. Connected to Specifically, since the cable terminal 174b has a substantially C-shaped tip connection portion, the cable terminal 174b is inserted into the cable connection portion 165 into the substantially C-shaped tip connection portion. The cable connection portion 165 can be easily electrically connected by elasticity.

  Such a terminal connection structure using the collector electrode connector 161 is particularly effective when an aluminum plate having excellent conductivity is used for the positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154. The reason for this is that aluminum tends to cause cold flow (creep) whose physical dimensions change over time, but by using the collector electrode connector 161 having such protrusions, it is stable over a long period of time. This is because the two collector electrode connecting portions 160 can be held.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the cell assembly 150 aligned as described above is aligned using an appropriate alignment device (not shown), and the positive electrode and negative electrode collectors 153 and 153 are connected by a connector 161. Before or after connecting 154, the end frame 142 and the side frame 143 are assembled around the cell assembly 150 and stored in the container 100. At this time, the pressure plate 173 is disposed inside one of the pair of opposed end frames 142. The pressure plate 173 has a plurality of spring support portions 167 on one surface (outer surface) opposed to the pressure plate 173. The spring support portion 167 may be a protrusion protruding from the pressure plate 173 or a recess formed in the pressure plate 173. In the embodiment, nine spring support portions 167 are arranged in a 3 row × 3 column arrangement with predetermined intervals in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. In the embodiment, each is formed by a columnar projection, and a spring 168 made of a helical spring is supported on each spring support 167. Therefore, in the state where the end frame 142 and the side frame 143 are assembled, the capacitor cells 151 aligned (laminated in the horizontal direction) are evenly pressurized from the thickness direction (alignment direction). The side frame 143 bears a tensile force as a reaction force of the force applied from the spring 168 to the end frame 142. In addition, the side frame 143 regulates the position of the capacitor cell 151 together with the end frame 142 while forming a sturdy frame 140 that is integrated with the end frame 142 and has excellent impact resistance.

  In the embodiment, a side sheet 169 is disposed between the side frame 143 and the cell assembly 150, and the side sheet 169 is fixed to the side frame 143. A bottom sheet 170 is disposed between the bottom plate 141 and the cell assembly 150. As the side sheet 169 and the bottom sheet 170, for example, a liquid absorbent paper or plastic sheet can be suitably used. Therefore, even if the electrolyte solution slightly leaks from the package 152, the leaked electrolyte solution is absorbed by the side sheet 169 and the bottom sheet 170 and flows into the upper electric circuit unit 180 described later. There is no.

  In the embodiment, the restricting portions 175 are formed by bending the upper ends of the side frames 143 inward. If the capacitor cells 151 are moved upward, these restricting portions 175 are formed on the capacitor cells 151. It hits the shoulder (upper corners on both sides) 176 so that the capacitor cell 151 does not move upward beyond the restricting portion 175.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, a double-sided tape (regulating portion) 171 that is a double-sided adhesive member is attached to the inner surface of each side frame 143, and the cell assembly is formed through the window 171 a formed on the side sheet 169 by the double-sided tape 171. It is made to oppose 150. On the other hand, seal portions 172 (see FIG. 12) on both sides of the package are bent at a right angle, and a double-sided tape 171 is bonded to the outer surface of the bent seal portion 172. Therefore, the cell aggregate 150 is firmly held by the side frame 143.

  Therefore, the cell assembly 150 accommodated in the frame 140 is not only firmly held by the urging force of the spring 168 between the pair of opposed end frames 142 but also the regulating portion 175 or the side frame 143. The movement in the vertical direction is restricted by the double-sided tape 171 or both of them. As a result, even if an impact in the vertical direction acts on the power storage system 10 due to an accident such as dropping, the cell assembly 150 does not move as a whole with respect to the frame 140, and the relative relationship between the plurality of capacitor cells 151 Therefore, there is no possibility of causing a vertical displacement in the vertical direction, so that the electric circuit unit 180 disposed on the cell assembly 150 is not damaged. In addition, since an excessive force (for example, tensile force) does not act on the cables connected to the collector electrodes 153 and 154 of each capacitor cell 151, the connection between the collector electrodes 153 and 154 and the cable may be disconnected. Absent. As described above, by adding only the double-sided tape 171 to the folded seal portion 172 of the capacitor cell 151 and the side frame 143 facing the seal portion 172, that is, by using the configuration of the conventional power storage system 10. The impact resistance, durability, and reliability of the power storage system 10 can be improved without causing a large cost increase.

  Thus, the frame 140 and the cell assembly 150 integrated with the frame 140 are accommodated in the container 100 and electrically connected to the electric circuit unit 180. As shown in FIG. 10, the electric circuit unit 180 includes a wiring board 181. The wiring substrate 181 is fixed to the lower surface of the lid 120 at a predetermined interval from the lower surface of the lid 120 by a plurality of screws 182 (see FIG. 1B). A plurality of circuit elements constituting a parallel monitor (control circuit) 183 are arranged on the wiring board 181, and the other end of the cable whose one end is connected to the capacitor cell collector electrode as described above corresponds to It is electrically connected to the circuit element. In addition, the other end of the cable connected to the positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154 of one and the other of the two capacitor cells 151 disposed at both ends of the cell assembly 150 is fixed to the lid 120. To the pair of main terminals 129 (see FIG. 1B).

  FIG. 10 shows a power transistor 184 that is a plurality of (12 in the embodiment) switching elements constituting the parallel monitor, and each power transistor 184 is connected in parallel with the corresponding capacitor cell 151 (FIG. 10). 20). Further, the control terminal 185 of the parallel monitor 183 is provided on one side of the wiring board 181, and the control terminal 185 is located in the terminal exposure opening 125 of the lid 120 (see FIG. 1A). As described above, since the control terminal 185 is exposed in the horizontal direction, foreign matters such as dust do not adhere to the control terminal 185.

  Since the power transistor 184 controls a large current flowing through the capacitor cell 151 in the parallel monitor 183, the power transistor 184 itself generates a large amount of heat during operation. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17, the power transistor 184 is arranged with its upper surface in contact with the heat sink 136. Therefore, heat generated in the power transistor 184 is released from the heat radiating plate 136 to the outside through the heat radiating plate 135. It is preferable to provide a heat transfer material such as grease between the power transistor 184 and the heat sink 136 so that heat is efficiently transferred from the power transistor 184 to the heat sinks 135 and 136.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the power transistor 184 is attached to the heat sink 136 by a pressing member (for example, a leaf spring 186) that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the wiring board 181 and is fixed to the heat sink 136. It is preferable to ensure a stable contact between the power transistor 184 and the heat sink 136.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, in order to prevent the connection device 161 of the capacitor cell 151 and the electric circuit on the wiring substrate 181 from coming into contact with each other between the wiring substrate 181 and the cell assembly 150, electrical insulation is performed. It is preferable to provide a sheet 187 made of a material.

  According to the power storage system 10 configured in this way, when each capacitor cell 151 is charged, the charging current is controlled by the corresponding power transistor 184. At this time, the heat generated in the power transistor 184 is generated by the heat sinks 135, 136. Is efficiently released to the atmosphere via Therefore, there is no problem that the heat generated in each capacitor cell 151 is accumulated in the power storage system 10 and the performance of the capacitor cell 151 is deteriorated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the connecting device 161 connected to each capacitor cell 151 is connected to the circuit board through the wiring. Instead, the wiring structure 190 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 may be adopted. . In this wiring structure 190, a plurality of through holes 191 are formed in the wiring board 181, and a part of each collector electrode coupler 161 is extended upward to form a wiring connection part 192. These wiring connection parts 192 are connected to each other. The wiring board 181 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 191 and connected to the corresponding circuit portion by solder or the like. Therefore, according to this wiring structure 190, it is not necessary to wire the collector electrode connector 161 and the wiring board 181 with a cable, so that the electrical connection becomes extremely easy. In the above-described embodiment, the insulating sheet 187 between the cell assembly 150 and the wiring board 181 is disposed. In this embodiment, an insulating space is provided between the cell assembly 150 and the wiring board 181 by the wiring connecting portion 192. As a result, the insulating sheet 187 can be omitted.

  In the above description, the positive electrode collector 153 and the negative electrode collector 154 of the adjacent capacitor cell 151 are arranged in a horizontal row, but they may be overlapped. In this case, as shown in FIG. 15D, the protrusions 166 formed on the opposing inner surfaces of the terminal holding pieces 163 and 164 bite into both the electrodes 153 and 154, thereby securely connecting these electrodes 153 and 154.

  Furthermore, in the above description, the end portions of the positive electrode collector electrode 153 and the negative electrode collector electrode 154 are arranged in a horizontal row or in parallel with each other facing upward, but the end portions of the positive electrode collector electrode 153 and the negative electrode collector electrode 154 are arranged horizontally. It is possible to arrange the collector electrodes arranged in a row or in parallel in the direction, sandwiching the collector electrode arranged in this way from above and below by the collector connector 161, and sandwiching the protrusion 166 by biting into the collector electrode from both sides. .
