Description

本発明は、リチウムイオン電池等の非水電解液二次電池に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery.

リチウムイオン電池等の非水電解液二次電池は、エネルギー密度が高く、かつ自己放電が少なくてサイクル性能が良いという利点がある。そのため近年では、非水電解液二次電池を大型または大容量化することにより、各種の産業用機械器具の電源として使用することが期待されている。産業用機械器具の電源として使用される非水電解液二次電池の中には、有底筒状の容器内に、軸芯を中心に正負極板がセパレータを介して捲回された電極群を電解液とともに収容した捲回タイプの非水電解液二次電池がある。従来のこの種の非水電解液二次電池では、電極群を構成する正極板及び負極板から延び出たタブ(集電リード片)の先端部を例えばアルミニウム(正極)製や銅(負極)製の集電体に接合されている。   Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries such as lithium ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, low self-discharge and good cycle performance. Therefore, in recent years, non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries are expected to be used as power sources for various industrial machinery by increasing the size or capacity. Among non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries used as a power source for industrial machinery, an electrode group in which a positive and negative electrode plate is wound around a shaft core with a separator in a bottomed cylindrical container There is a wound type non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which the battery is accommodated together with the electrolyte. In this type of conventional non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the tip portion of the tab (collecting lead piece) extending from the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate constituting the electrode group is made of, for example, aluminum (positive electrode) or copper (negative electrode) It is joined to the current collector.

このような構造の非水電解液二次電池に強い振動または衝撃が加わると、容器内に収容された電極群が容器に対して変位することがある。例えば、車両に搭載されている機器の電源として用いられる非水電解液二次電池では、車両に加わるまたは車両自身が発する強い振動及び衝撃が蓄電デバイスに長時間にわたって加わることになる。そのため、上述したタブを集電体に接合するタイプの非水電解液二次電池では、一部のタブと集電体との接合が切れて、接続部の抵抗が大きくなり、その結果、非水電解液二次電池の蓄電性能が落ちる問題が生じる。   When strong vibration or impact is applied to the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having such a structure, the electrode group housed in the container may be displaced with respect to the container. For example, in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery used as a power source for equipment mounted on a vehicle, strong vibrations and shocks applied to the vehicle or generated by the vehicle itself are applied to the power storage device for a long time. For this reason, in the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the type in which the above-described tab is joined to the current collector, the joining of some of the tabs and the current collector is cut, and the resistance of the connection portion is increased. There arises a problem that the power storage performance of the water electrolyte secondary battery deteriorates.

また非水電解液二次電池には、電池容器を塞ぐ蓋から外部に突出する端子部材の出力端子部に、ナット等の接続部材が螺合される場合がある。このような場合では、出力端子部にナットを螺合する際に、出力端子部材に回転するナットから力が加わり、出力端子部材が揺動することにより、集電体に溶接された一部のタブが切れてしまう場合がある。   In addition, in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, a connection member such as a nut may be screwed onto an output terminal portion of a terminal member that protrudes outside from a lid that closes the battery container. In such a case, when the nut is screwed into the output terminal portion, a force is applied from the rotating nut to the output terminal member, and the output terminal member swings, so that a part of the welded to the current collector is obtained. Tabs may be cut off.

特開2011−54380号公報(特許文献1)には、蓋及び電池容器を保持するガスケットの筒部に正極集電体を当接させることにより、非水電解液二次電池の軸方向と垂直な方向に正極集電体を保持して、円筒型電池の軸方向と垂直な方向に作用する衝撃・振動への耐久性を向上させた非水電解液二次電池が開示されている。   In JP 2011-54380 A (Patent Document 1), a positive electrode current collector is brought into contact with a cylindrical portion of a gasket that holds a lid and a battery container, thereby being perpendicular to the axial direction of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is disclosed in which a positive electrode current collector is held in any direction and durability against shock and vibration acting in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical battery is improved.

特開2011−54380号公報JP 2011-54380 A

特許文献1に示された構造では、正極集電体と、蓋及び電池容器とがガスケットにより保持されるため、電極群が接続された正極集電体が、蓋及び電池容器に対して変位することを防止できる。そのため、耐震動性・耐衝撃性をある程度高めることができる。しかしながら特許文献1に示された構造では、電極群のタブを正極集電体に溶接しているだけである。そのため非水電解液二次電池を特許文献1に示された構造にしても、強い振動及び衝撃が加わった場合には、電極群が正極集電体に対して変位して、一部のタブと集電体との接合が切れてしまう虞がある。   In the structure shown in Patent Document 1, since the positive electrode current collector, the lid, and the battery container are held by the gasket, the positive electrode current collector to which the electrode group is connected is displaced with respect to the lid and the battery container. Can be prevented. For this reason, the vibration resistance and impact resistance can be improved to some extent. However, in the structure shown in Patent Document 1, the electrode group tab is simply welded to the positive electrode current collector. Therefore, even when the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery has the structure shown in Patent Document 1, when strong vibration and impact are applied, the electrode group is displaced with respect to the positive electrode current collector, and some tabs There is a risk that the connection between the current collector and the current collector will be broken.

また、捲回型のリチウムイオン電池では、電池特性を最大限のものとするために、正極板に設けられた正極活物質を、負極版に設けられた負極活物質と、セパレータを介して完全に対向させる必要がある。しかしながら、電極群が正極集電体に対して変位することにより、タブがよじれて正極板が正極集電体に向かって変位して、正極活物質の一部が負極活物質と対向しなくなり、電池特性が低下してしまう場合もある。   Further, in the wound type lithium ion battery, in order to maximize the battery characteristics, the positive electrode active material provided on the positive electrode plate is completely replaced with the negative electrode active material provided on the negative electrode plate via a separator. It is necessary to face to. However, when the electrode group is displaced with respect to the positive electrode current collector, the tab is twisted and the positive electrode plate is displaced toward the positive electrode current collector, so that a part of the positive electrode active material does not face the negative electrode active material, Battery characteristics may be degraded.

本発明の目的は、耐震動性または耐衝撃性を従来より高めることができる非水電解液二次電池を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery capable of improving vibration resistance or shock resistance as compared with the prior art.

本発明の目的は、集電体に対する電極群の変位を防止できる非水電解液二次電池を提供することにある。   The objective of this invention is providing the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which can prevent the displacement of the electrode group with respect to a collector.

本発明の他の目的は、耐震動性または耐衝撃性を高めても電池特性が低下しない非水電解液二次電池を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which battery characteristics are not deteriorated even when vibration resistance or impact resistance is enhanced.

本発明は、捲回型極板群と、正極端子部材と、負極端子部材とを備えてなる非水電解液二次電池を改良の対象とする。捲回型極板群は、正極タブを備えた正極板と負極タブを備えた負極板とが、セパレータを介して軸芯に捲回されて構成されている。正極端子部材は、軸芯の軸線方向の一端側に配置されて正極タブが溶接される。負極端子部は、軸芯の軸線方向の他端側に配置されて負極タブが溶接される。本発明では、非水電解液と反応しない接着剤を、正極端子部材と捲回型極板群とを接続するように塗布して正極側補強部を形成する。このように構成すると、正極端子部材と、捲回型極板群と、正極タブとが接着剤により互いに接着されて一体化されるので、正極端子部材、捲回型極板群及び正極タブが互いに変位することがなくなる。また、電極群が正極集電体に対して変位しないので、タブがよじれて正極板が正極集電体に向かって変位し、正極活物質の一部が負極活物質と対向しなくなることを防止することができる。   An object of the present invention is to improve a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including a wound electrode group, a positive electrode terminal member, and a negative electrode terminal member. The wound-type electrode plate group is configured by winding a positive electrode plate having a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode plate having a negative electrode tab around a shaft core via a separator. The positive electrode terminal member is disposed on one end side in the axial direction of the shaft core, and the positive electrode tab is welded. The negative electrode terminal portion is disposed on the other end side in the axial direction of the shaft core, and the negative electrode tab is welded. In this invention, the positive electrode side reinforcement part is formed by apply | coating the adhesive agent which does not react with a non-aqueous electrolyte so that a positive electrode terminal member and a winding type | mold electrode group may be connected. If comprised in this way, since a positive electrode terminal member, a winding type | mold electrode group, and a positive electrode tab are mutually adhere | attached and integrated by the adhesive agent, a positive electrode terminal member, a winding type | mold electrode plate group, and a positive electrode tab are It will not be displaced from each other. In addition, since the electrode group is not displaced with respect to the positive electrode current collector, the tab is twisted to prevent the positive electrode plate from being displaced toward the positive electrode current collector and preventing a part of the positive electrode active material from facing the negative electrode active material. can do.

正極端子部材に1つの正極タブが溶接される場合や、複数の正極タブが非水電解液二次電池内で正極端子部材の外周面の一部分に偏って溶接される場合には、捲回型極板群と対向する正極端子部材の端面と、正極端子部材と対向する捲回型極板群の端面との間に接着剤を塗布することが可能である。そのため、正極側補強部は、捲回型極板群と対向する正極端子部材の端面と、正極端子部材と対向する捲回型極板群の端面との間に形成することができる。このように構成すると、正極端子部材及び捲回型極板群における接着剤が塗布される面積をそれぞれ広く確保することができ、正極端子部材、捲回型極板群及び正極タブが互いに変位することを確実に防ぐことができる。   When one positive electrode tab is welded to the positive electrode terminal member, or when a plurality of positive electrode tabs are welded to a part of the outer peripheral surface of the positive electrode terminal member in the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, It is possible to apply an adhesive between the end surface of the positive electrode terminal member facing the electrode plate group and the end surface of the wound electrode plate group facing the positive electrode terminal member. Therefore, the positive electrode side reinforcing portion can be formed between the end surface of the positive electrode terminal member facing the wound electrode plate group and the end surface of the wound electrode plate group facing the positive electrode terminal member. If comprised in this way, the area to which the adhesive agent in a positive electrode terminal member and a winding type | mold electrode group is applied widely can each be ensured, and a positive electrode terminal member, a winding type | mold electrode group, and a positive electrode tab will mutually be displaced. This can be surely prevented.

正極側補強部は、正極端子部材の外周面と捲回型極板群の外周面とに跨がるように形成してもよい。このように構成すると、正極端子部材の外周面と捲回型極板群の外周面とに跨がるように接着剤を塗布するだけで簡単に正極側補強部を形成することができる。   The positive electrode side reinforcing portion may be formed so as to straddle the outer peripheral surface of the positive electrode terminal member and the outer peripheral surface of the wound electrode plate group. If comprised in this way, a positive electrode side reinforcement part can be easily formed only by apply | coating an adhesive agent so that it may straddle the outer peripheral surface of a positive electrode terminal member, and the outer peripheral surface of a winding type | mold electrode group.

特に、正極端子部材の外周面に複数の正極タブが全面的に溶接されている場合には、捲回型極板群と対向する正極端子部材の端面と、正極端子部材と対向する捲回型極板群の端面との間に接着剤を塗布することができない場合がある。この場合には、接着剤を複数の正極タブの全部または一部を覆うように塗布して正極側補強部を形成する。このように正極補強部を構成すると、タブが一部でも接着剤に包まれて固定状態となって、タブ自体の補強となりタブが切れるのを防ぐことができる。そのため、複数の正極タブと正極端子部材との接合が全く切れることがなくなるので、電池特性が低下することを防止することができる。   In particular, when a plurality of positive electrode tabs are entirely welded to the outer peripheral surface of the positive electrode terminal member, the end surface of the positive electrode terminal member that faces the wound electrode plate group and the wound type that faces the positive electrode terminal member In some cases, the adhesive cannot be applied to the end face of the electrode group. In this case, an adhesive is applied so as to cover all or part of the plurality of positive electrode tabs to form the positive electrode side reinforcing portion. If the positive electrode reinforcing portion is configured in this way, even a part of the tab is wrapped in an adhesive and becomes a fixed state, and the tab itself is reinforced to prevent the tab from being cut. For this reason, since the joining between the plurality of positive electrode tabs and the positive electrode terminal member is not completely broken, it is possible to prevent the battery characteristics from being deteriorated.

非水電解液と反応しない接着剤を、負極端子部材と巻回型極板群とを接続するように塗布して、負極側補強部をさらに形成してもよい。正極側補強部に加えて負極側補強部をさらに設ければ、負極タブと負極端子部材との接合が切れることがなくなるので、電池特性が低下することをさらに確実に防止することができる。負極側補強部は、正極側補強部と同じように形成することができる。   An adhesive that does not react with the non-aqueous electrolyte may be applied so as to connect the negative electrode terminal member and the wound electrode plate group to further form the negative electrode side reinforcing portion. If the negative electrode side reinforcing portion is further provided in addition to the positive electrode side reinforcing portion, the connection between the negative electrode tab and the negative electrode terminal member is not cut off, so that it is possible to more reliably prevent the battery characteristics from being deteriorated. The negative electrode side reinforcing portion can be formed in the same manner as the positive electrode side reinforcing portion.

使用する接着剤は、非水電解液と反応しないものであれば基本的にどのようなものではもよいが、オレフィン系接着剤であることが好ましい。発明者の研究により、オレフィン系接着剤は、非水電解液と反応したり、非水電解液に溶出することがなく、非水電解液と接触しても、接着性・耐久性が低下しないことが判った。またオレフィン系接着剤は、ある程度の粘性を出すことがで容易であり、簡単にいわゆるホットメルト状態となる。そのため、複数のタブの上に塗布された状態でも、簡単に流れ落ちることがなく、確実に正極側補強部を形成することができる。オレフィン系接着剤としては、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、ポリフェニレンスルファイドおよびそれらの含有率が高い材料を用いた接着剤とすることができる。   The adhesive used may be basically any adhesive as long as it does not react with the non-aqueous electrolyte, but is preferably an olefin adhesive. According to the inventor's research, the olefinic adhesive does not react with or elute into the non-aqueous electrolyte, and even when contacted with the non-aqueous electrolyte, the adhesiveness and durability are not lowered. I found out. In addition, the olefin-based adhesive can be easily given a certain degree of viscosity, and easily becomes a so-called hot melt state. Therefore, even if it is applied on the plurality of tabs, the positive electrode side reinforcing portion can be reliably formed without easily flowing down. As the olefin-based adhesive, an adhesive using polypropylene, polyethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, and a material having a high content thereof can be used.

使用する接着剤には、難燃化剤を添加してもよい。接着剤に難燃化剤を添加すれば、別途難燃化剤を塗布する場所を検討する必要がなくなる上、補強部の形成と同時に難燃化剤の配置が完了するため、作業工数を減らすことができる。なお非水電解液二次電池が高温環境に置かれた場合や過充電・過放電が起こった場合等の異常発熱時に、難燃化剤が作用して、正極活物質の燃焼によって電池が発火・発煙することを防止することができる。   A flame retardant may be added to the adhesive used. If a flame retardant is added to the adhesive, there is no need to consider where to apply the flame retardant separately, and the placement of the flame retardant is completed at the same time as the reinforcement is formed, reducing work man-hours. be able to. When the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is placed in a high temperature environment or when overheating or overdischarge occurs, the flame retardant acts and the battery ignites due to the combustion of the positive electrode active material.・ Smoke can be prevented.

本発明の具体的な非水電解液二次電池では、軸芯は筒形状を有しており、正極端子部材及び負極端子部材は、軸芯に嵌合される軸芯嵌合部と、外周部に正極タブまたは負極タブが溶接されるタブ溶接部と、軸芯嵌合部が延びる方向とは反対側に延びる出力端子部とを備えている。この出力端子部には、ナットが螺合されるネジ部が形成される。そして、軸芯と正極端子部材または負極端子部材の軸芯嵌合部とに、嵌合により回り止め構造を構成する回り止め構造部をそれぞれ形成する。このように構成すると、ナットを出力端子部に螺合する場合でも、回り止め構造部により、正極端子部材及び負極端子部材は、軸芯に対して回転することがない。そのため、ナットを螺合するときに、端子部材が回転して、端子部材に溶接されたタブが切れることを防止することができる。なおこのような回り止め機構を設けても、加工精度上の問題から端子部材は軸芯を中心にして揺動する。この揺動も、揺動範囲が大きかったり、長期間に渡って発生すると、タブが切れる原因となるため、補強部を設けることは十分に意味がある。   In the specific nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention, the shaft core has a cylindrical shape, and the positive electrode terminal member and the negative electrode terminal member include a shaft core fitting portion that is fitted to the shaft core, and an outer periphery. A tab welded portion where the positive electrode tab or the negative electrode tab is welded to the portion, and an output terminal portion extending on the opposite side of the direction in which the shaft core fitting portion extends. The output terminal portion is formed with a screw portion into which a nut is screwed. And the anti-rotation structure part which comprises an anti-rotation structure is each formed in the axial center and the axial core fitting part of a positive electrode terminal member or a negative electrode terminal member by fitting. If comprised in this way, even when a nut is screwed together in an output terminal part, a positive electrode terminal member and a negative electrode terminal member will not rotate with respect to an axial center by a rotation prevention structure part. Therefore, when the nut is screwed, it is possible to prevent the terminal member from rotating and the tab welded to the terminal member from being cut. Even if such a detent mechanism is provided, the terminal member oscillates about the shaft center due to a problem in processing accuracy. This swinging also causes a tab to be cut if the swinging range is large or occurs over a long period of time, so it is sufficiently meaningful to provide a reinforcing portion.

以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態を詳細に説明する。図1は、本発明をリチウムイオン電池に適用した一実施の形態をその長手方向に沿って切断した状態を示す断面図である。なお図1においては、リチウムイオン電池の構成部材の一部の図示を省略してある。本実施の形態のリチウムイオン電池1は、電池容器本体3と、正極側電池蓋5と、負極側電池蓋7と、電解液に浸潤された極板群9と、正極端子部材11と、負極端子部材13とを備えている。なお、図1においては理解を容易にするため、リチウムイオン電池の一部の寸法を誇張して示している。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a lithium ion battery is cut along its longitudinal direction. In FIG. 1, some components of the lithium ion battery are not shown. The lithium ion battery 1 according to the present embodiment includes a battery container body 3, a positive battery cover 5, a negative battery cover 7, an electrode group 9 infiltrated with an electrolyte, a positive terminal member 11, and a negative electrode. And a terminal member 13. In FIG. 1, some dimensions of the lithium ion battery are exaggerated for easy understanding.

電池容器本体3は、ニッケルメッキが施されたスチール材料により両端が開口した円筒形状を有している。電池容器本体3の両端の開口部は、正極側電池蓋5及び負極側電池蓋7とによりそれぞれ塞がれている。   The battery container body 3 has a cylindrical shape with both ends opened by a nickel-plated steel material. Openings at both ends of the battery container body 3 are respectively closed by the positive battery cover 5 and the negative battery cover 7.

正極側電池蓋5及び負極側電池蓋7は、符号5a及び7aで示した位置にガス排出口5a及び7aを備えており、その中央部には、端子貫通孔5b及び7bがそれぞれ設けられている。ガス排出口5a及び7aは、例えば特開平11−273650号公報に示される安全弁構造と同様に、図示しない開裂形安全弁により塞がれており、開裂形安全弁は弁押え環により保持されている。安全弁は、電池容器本体内でガスが発生することにより、電池容器本体内の圧力が一定以上となると、開裂状態となって発生したガスを放出する。端子貫通孔5b及び7bには、後述する正極端子部材11の出力端子部37及び負極端子部材13の出力端子部57がゴムパッキン15を介して貫通している。   The positive electrode side battery cover 5 and the negative electrode side battery cover 7 are provided with gas discharge ports 5a and 7a at positions indicated by reference numerals 5a and 7a, respectively, and terminal through holes 5b and 7b are provided at the center portions thereof. Yes. The gas discharge ports 5a and 7a are closed by a cleaving safety valve (not shown), for example, similarly to the safety valve structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-273650, and the cleaving safety valve is held by a valve retainer ring. When the pressure in the battery container body exceeds a certain level due to the generation of gas in the battery container body, the safety valve is in a cleaved state and releases the generated gas. An output terminal portion 37 of the positive electrode terminal member 11 and an output terminal portion 57 of the negative electrode terminal member 13 described later pass through the terminal through holes 5 b and 7 b through the rubber packing 15.

容器本体3内には、非水電解液(図示せず)が注入されている。従って、極板群9には、非水電解液が浸潤している。本実施の形態では、非水電解液としてエチレンカーボネートとジメチルカーボネートとジエチルカーボネートとの混合溶媒中に6フッ化リン酸リチウム(LiPF)を電解質として溶解した溶液を用いている。 A non-aqueous electrolyte (not shown) is injected into the container body 3. Therefore, the non-aqueous electrolyte is infiltrated into the electrode plate group 9. In the present embodiment, a solution obtained by dissolving lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ) as an electrolyte in a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate is used as the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.

図2は、本実施の形態で用いる極板群9を捲回する状態を示す図である。極板群9は、帯状の正極板17と帯状の負極板19とを、セパレータ21を介して中空円筒状の軸芯23を中心として断面渦巻き状に捲回することにより構成されている。本実施の形態の正極板17は、正極集電板としてのアルミニウム箔の両面に、リチウム遷移金属複酸化物であるマンガン酸リチウムを含む正極活物質を略均質に塗布した構成となっている。アルミニウム箔の長手方向の一方の辺側には、正極合剤が塗装されていない未塗着部25が形成されている。未塗着部25は、櫛歯状に切り欠かれており、切り欠かれた残部により、正極タブ27が形成されている。   FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the electrode plate group 9 used in the present embodiment is wound. The electrode plate group 9 is configured by winding a belt-like positive electrode plate 17 and a belt-like negative electrode plate 19 around a hollow cylindrical shaft core 23 via a separator 21 in a spiral shape. The positive electrode plate 17 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which a positive electrode active material containing lithium manganate, which is a lithium transition metal double oxide, is applied almost uniformly on both surfaces of an aluminum foil as a positive electrode current collector plate. On one side in the longitudinal direction of the aluminum foil, an uncoated portion 25 that is not coated with the positive electrode mixture is formed. The uncoated portion 25 is cut out in a comb-like shape, and a positive electrode tab 27 is formed by the remaining portion cut out.

負極板19は、負極集電板としての圧延銅箔の両面に、負極活物質としてリチウムイオンを吸蔵・放出可能な炭素粉末を含む負極合剤を略均質に塗布した構成となっている。負極活物質は、極板群を捲回したときに正極板17の正極活物質の全体がセパレータを介して負極活物質と対向するように、負極版に塗布されている。そのため、負極活物質の軸方向の長さは、正極活物質の軸方向よりも長く形成されている。銅箔の長手方向の一方の辺側には、負極合剤が塗装されていない未塗着部29が形成されている。未塗着部は、櫛歯状に切り欠かれており、切り欠かれた残部により、負極タブ31が形成されている。負極タブ31は、正極タブ27が形成された辺側と対向する辺側に形成される。図1においては、正極側電池蓋5側に複数の正極タブ27が位置し、負極側電池蓋7側に複数の負極タブ31が位置している。   The negative electrode plate 19 has a configuration in which a negative electrode mixture containing carbon powder capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions as a negative electrode active material is applied almost uniformly on both surfaces of a rolled copper foil as a negative electrode current collector plate. The negative electrode active material is applied to the negative electrode plate so that the entire positive electrode active material of the positive electrode plate 17 faces the negative electrode active material through the separator when the electrode plate group is wound. Therefore, the length of the negative electrode active material in the axial direction is longer than that of the positive electrode active material. On one side in the longitudinal direction of the copper foil, an uncoated portion 29 that is not coated with the negative electrode mixture is formed. The uncoated part is cut out in a comb-like shape, and the negative electrode tab 31 is formed by the remaining part cut out. The negative electrode tab 31 is formed on the side opposite to the side on which the positive electrode tab 27 is formed. In FIG. 1, a plurality of positive electrode tabs 27 are located on the positive electrode side battery lid 5 side, and a plurality of negative electrode tabs 31 are located on the negative electrode side battery lid 7 side.

セパレータ21は、リチウムイオンが通過可能なポリエチレン製の多孔質材により形成されている。セパレータ21は、正極板17及び負極板19が互いに接触することを防止する。   The separator 21 is formed of a polyethylene porous material through which lithium ions can pass. The separator 21 prevents the positive electrode plate 17 and the negative electrode plate 19 from contacting each other.

軸芯23はポリプロピレン樹脂により中空円筒状に形成されている。軸芯23の内周面の軸線方向の両端部には、軸線方向及び軸線の中心方向に開口する凹部33がそれぞれ設けられている。   The shaft core 23 is formed of a polypropylene resin in a hollow cylindrical shape. At both end portions in the axial direction of the inner peripheral surface of the shaft core 23, concave portions 33 that open in the axial direction and the central direction of the axial line are respectively provided.

なお、正極板17、負極板19及びセパレータ21の詳細な構成については、本発明の要旨とは関係しないので、説明を省略する。   Note that the detailed configuration of the positive electrode plate 17, the negative electrode plate 19, and the separator 21 is not related to the gist of the present invention, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

正極側電池蓋5と極板群9の端部との間には、複数の正極タブ27が接続された正極端子部材11が極板群9の端部に隣接して配置されている。また、負極側電池蓋7と極板群9の端部との間には、複数の負極タブ31が接続された負極端子部材13が極板群9の端部に隣接して配置されている。本実施の形態においては、正極端子部材11及び負極端子部材13は実質的に同じ形状を有している。   A positive electrode terminal member 11 to which a plurality of positive electrode tabs 27 are connected is disposed adjacent to the end portion of the electrode plate group 9 between the positive electrode side battery cover 5 and the end portion of the electrode plate group 9. Further, a negative terminal member 13 to which a plurality of negative electrode tabs 31 are connected is disposed adjacent to the end of the electrode plate group 9 between the negative electrode side battery lid 7 and the end of the electrode plate group 9. . In the present embodiment, the positive terminal member 11 and the negative terminal member 13 have substantially the same shape.

図3は本実施の形態で用いる正極端子部材11の斜視図であり、図4は正極端子部材11を正極電池蓋5側から見た図である。正極端子部材11は、円環状の本体部35の中央部に出力端子部37を備えている。出力端子部37は、正極側電池蓋5を貫通して外部に延びるように構成されている。本体部35には、出力端子部37を中心とする環状の凹部39が形成されている。環状の凹部39は、出力端子部37が延びる方向に向かって開口している。環状の凹部39の底部には、複数の通気用貫通孔41が設けられている。なお通気用貫通孔41は、複数設ける必要はなく、一つのみ設けるように構成してもよい。正極端子部材11は、本体部35の出力端子部37が設けられた側とは反対側に極板群9の軸芯23に挿入される柱状部43を備えている。柱状部43を軸芯23の一方の端部に挿入することにより、正極端子部材11と極板群9との位置関係が確定している。柱状部43の先端には、突起部45が形成されている。突起部45は、軸芯23の凹部33と嵌合する大きさに形成されている。本実施の形態では、軸芯23の凹部33及び柱状部43の突起部45がそれぞれ回り止め構造部を構成している。   3 is a perspective view of the positive electrode terminal member 11 used in the present embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a view of the positive electrode terminal member 11 as viewed from the positive electrode battery lid 5 side. The positive electrode terminal member 11 includes an output terminal portion 37 at the center of the annular main body portion 35. The output terminal portion 37 is configured to extend through the positive battery lid 5 to the outside. The main body portion 35 is formed with an annular recess 39 centered on the output terminal portion 37. The annular recess 39 opens in the direction in which the output terminal portion 37 extends. A plurality of ventilation through holes 41 are provided at the bottom of the annular recess 39. It is not necessary to provide a plurality of ventilation through holes 41, and only one ventilation through hole 41 may be provided. The positive electrode terminal member 11 includes a columnar portion 43 that is inserted into the shaft core 23 of the electrode plate group 9 on the side opposite to the side where the output terminal portion 37 of the main body portion 35 is provided. By inserting the columnar portion 43 into one end portion of the shaft core 23, the positional relationship between the positive electrode terminal member 11 and the electrode plate group 9 is determined. A protrusion 45 is formed at the tip of the columnar portion 43. The protrusion 45 is formed in a size that fits into the recess 33 of the shaft core 23. In the present embodiment, the concave portion 33 of the shaft core 23 and the projection 45 of the columnar portion 43 each constitute a detent structure portion.

正極端子部材11の本体部35の外周部には、正極板17から導出された複数の正極タブ27の端部が超音波溶接されている。   Ends of a plurality of positive electrode tabs 27 led out from the positive electrode plate 17 are ultrasonically welded to the outer peripheral portion of the main body portion 35 of the positive electrode terminal member 11.

出力端子部37の外周部には、ネジ部47が形成されている。このネジ部47には、図1に示すようにナット部材49が螺合されている。なおナット部材49と正極側電池蓋5との間にはワッシャ51が配置されている。なお正極側電池蓋5には、電解液を入れるためのネジ孔を塞ぐネジ部材53がネジ留めされている。   A screw portion 47 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the output terminal portion 37. As shown in FIG. 1, a nut member 49 is screwed into the screw portion 47. A washer 51 is disposed between the nut member 49 and the positive battery cover 5. The positive battery cover 5 is screwed with a screw member 53 that closes a screw hole for containing an electrolytic solution.

本実施の形態においては、図1に示すように、負極端子部材13が、正極端子部材11と実質的に同じ形状を有しており、本体部55と、出力端子部57と、環状の凹部59と、柱状部63とを備えている。負極端子部材13も、極板群9の軸芯23に、柱状部63が挿入されて、負極端子部材13と極板群9との位置関係が確定している。負極端子部材13の本体部55の外周部には、負極板19から導出された複数の負極タブ31の端部が超音波溶接されている。負極端子部材13の柱状部63の先端にも、突起部65が形成されている。突起部65もまた回り止め構造部を構成している。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the negative terminal member 13 has substantially the same shape as the positive terminal member 11, and includes a main body portion 55, an output terminal portion 57, and an annular recess. 59 and a columnar portion 63. Also in the negative electrode terminal member 13, the columnar portion 63 is inserted into the shaft core 23 of the electrode plate group 9, and the positional relationship between the negative electrode terminal member 13 and the electrode plate group 9 is determined. Ends of a plurality of negative electrode tabs 31 led out from the negative electrode plate 19 are ultrasonically welded to the outer peripheral portion of the main body 55 of the negative electrode terminal member 13. A protrusion 65 is also formed at the tip of the columnar portion 63 of the negative electrode terminal member 13. The protrusion 65 also constitutes a detent structure portion.

負極端子部材13の出力端子部57の外周部には、ネジ部67が形成されており、このネジ部67にも、正極端子部材11と同様にナット部材49が螺合されている。ナット部材49と負極側電池蓋7との間にはワッシャ51が配置されている。   A screw portion 67 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the output terminal portion 57 of the negative electrode terminal member 13, and the nut member 49 is screwed into the screw portion 67 as well as the positive electrode terminal member 11. A washer 51 is disposed between the nut member 49 and the negative battery lid 7.

本実施の形態のリチウムイオン電池では、図1に示すように、正極端子部材11の本体部35の外周と極板群9とに跨がるように正極側補強部69が形成されている。また本実施の形態では、負極端子部材13の本体部55の外周と極板群9とに跨がるように負極側補強部71が形成されている。正極側補強部69及び負極側補強部71はそれぞれ、複数の正極タブ27及び複数の負極タブ31の全部を覆うように形成されている。この正極側補強部69及び負極側補強部71は、オレフィン系接着剤(具体的には、ポリプロピレンを主成分とする、例えばスコッチ・ウェルド・ホットメルト接着剤3748Q)を、正極端子部材と極板群とに跨がるように、また負極端子部材と極板群とに跨がるように塗布したのち、接着剤を硬化させて形成されている。具体的には、複数の正極タブ27が溶接された正極端子部材11の本体部35及び極板群9の外周部、並びに複数の負極タブ31が溶接された負極端子部材13の本体部55及び極板群9の外周部に接着剤を塗布している。しかしタブを溶接する前に、タブを外側に広げて極板群の中心から極板群の外周部に向けて放射状に接着剤を塗布し、その後端子部材を本体部に装着して、タブを端子部材に溶接するようにしてもよい。このようにしても接着剤を、端子部材と捲回型極板群とに跨がり複数のタブの一部を覆うように塗布することができる。なおこのように接着剤を放射状に塗布すると、接着剤塗布部の間に放射状に延びる隙間が形成されるので、これらの隙間を通して極板群への電解液の浸潤及び異常時に発生するガスの放出を行うことができる。本実施の形態では、スコッチ・ウェルド・ホットメルト接着剤3748Qからなる接着剤に、塩化ビニルまたはリン酸エステルを添加したものを塗布して正極側補強部69及び負極側補強部71を形成している。なお、難燃化としては、例えば融点が90℃以上の環状ホスファゼン化合物を用いることができる。融点が90℃以上の環状ホスファゼン化合物は、内部温度が90℃以下である電池正常時には、固体状態が維持されるため、ほとんど電池特性に影響を与えない。   In the lithium ion battery according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the positive electrode side reinforcing portion 69 is formed so as to straddle the outer periphery of the main body portion 35 of the positive electrode terminal member 11 and the electrode plate group 9. In the present embodiment, the negative electrode side reinforcing portion 71 is formed so as to straddle the outer periphery of the main body portion 55 of the negative electrode terminal member 13 and the electrode plate group 9. The positive electrode side reinforcing portion 69 and the negative electrode side reinforcing portion 71 are formed so as to cover all of the plurality of positive electrode tabs 27 and the plurality of negative electrode tabs 31, respectively. The positive-side reinforcing portion 69 and the negative-side reinforcing portion 71 are made of an olefin-based adhesive (specifically, polypropylene as a main component, for example, Scotch weld hot melt adhesive 3748Q), a positive electrode terminal member and an electrode plate. After coating so as to straddle the group and straddle the negative electrode terminal member and the electrode plate group, the adhesive is cured. Specifically, the main body portion 35 of the positive electrode terminal member 11 and the outer peripheral portion of the electrode plate group 9 to which the plurality of positive electrode tabs 27 are welded, and the main body portion 55 of the negative electrode terminal member 13 to which the plurality of negative electrode tabs 31 are welded, and An adhesive is applied to the outer periphery of the electrode plate group 9. However, before welding the tab, spread the tab outward, apply the adhesive radially from the center of the electrode plate group to the outer periphery of the electrode plate group, and then attach the terminal member to the main body, You may make it weld to a terminal member. Even in this manner, the adhesive can be applied so as to cover a part of the plurality of tabs across the terminal member and the wound electrode plate group. When the adhesive is applied radially in this way, gaps extending radially are formed between the adhesive application portions, so that electrolyte infiltrates the electrode plate group through these gaps and releases gas generated in the event of an abnormality. It can be performed. In the present embodiment, a positive electrode side reinforcing portion 69 and a negative electrode side reinforcing portion 71 are formed by applying an adhesive made of Scotch, Weld, and hot melt adhesive 3748Q to which vinyl chloride or phosphate is added. Yes. For flame retardancy, for example, a cyclic phosphazene compound having a melting point of 90 ° C. or higher can be used. A cyclic phosphazene compound having a melting point of 90 ° C. or higher hardly affects the battery characteristics because the solid state is maintained when the battery has an internal temperature of 90 ° C. or lower and is normal.

本実施の形態の正極側補強部69は、正極端子部材と極板群と複数の正極タブとを包んだ状態で固定する。また正極側補強部69は、複数の正極タブの全部または大部分を覆っているため、複数の正極タブ同士も、正極側補強部69により包まれた状態で固定される。そのため、極板群が正極端子部材に対して変位しないので、複数の正極タブが切れることがない。従って、電池特性が低下することを防止することができる。また、タブがよじれて正極板が正極端子部材に向かって変位して正極活物質の一部が負極活物質と対向しなくなることを防止することができる。   The positive-side reinforcing portion 69 of the present embodiment is fixed in a state where the positive electrode terminal member, the electrode plate group, and the plurality of positive electrode tabs are wrapped. Further, since the positive electrode side reinforcing portion 69 covers all or most of the plurality of positive electrode tabs, the plurality of positive electrode tabs are also fixed in a state of being wrapped by the positive electrode side reinforcing portion 69. Therefore, since the electrode plate group is not displaced with respect to the positive electrode terminal member, the plurality of positive electrode tabs are not cut. Therefore, it can prevent that a battery characteristic falls. Further, it can be prevented that the positive electrode plate is displaced toward the positive electrode terminal member by twisting the tab and a part of the positive electrode active material does not face the negative electrode active material.

同様に負極側補強部71は、負極端子部材と極板群と複数の負極タブとを包んだ状態で固定する。また負極側補強部71は、複数の負極タブの全部または大部分を覆っているため、複数の負極タブ同士も、負極側補強部71により包まれた状態で固定される。そのため、極板群が負極端子部材に対して変位しないので、複数の負極タブが切れることがない。   Similarly, the negative electrode side reinforcing portion 71 is fixed in a state of wrapping the negative electrode terminal member, the electrode plate group, and the plurality of negative electrode tabs. Further, since the negative electrode side reinforcing portion 71 covers all or most of the plurality of negative electrode tabs, the plurality of negative electrode tabs are also fixed in a state of being wrapped by the negative electrode side reinforcing portion 71. Therefore, since the electrode plate group is not displaced with respect to the negative electrode terminal member, the plurality of negative electrode tabs are not cut.

さらに、軸芯23の凹部33及び柱状部43の突起部45並びに軸芯23の凹部33及び柱状部63の突起部65によりそれぞれ回り止め構造部が構成されているため、ネジ部47にナット部材49を螺合する場合でも、正極端子部材及び負極端子部材が軸芯に対して大きく回転することがない。そのため、ナットを螺合するときに、端子部材が揺動して、端子部材に溶接されたタブが切れることを防止することができる。   Further, since the concave portion 33 of the shaft core 23 and the protrusion portion 45 of the columnar portion 43 and the concave portion 33 of the shaft core 23 and the protrusion portion 65 of the columnar portion 63 respectively constitute a rotation preventing structure portion, a nut member is provided on the screw portion 47. Even when 49 is screwed, the positive electrode terminal member and the negative electrode terminal member do not rotate significantly with respect to the axis. Therefore, when the nut is screwed, it is possible to prevent the terminal member from swinging and the tab welded to the terminal member from being cut.

発明者は、本発明の耐振動効果及び耐衝撃効果について検証すべく、従来の完成品のリチウムイオン電池及び本発明の完成品のリチウムイオン電池を完全放電して電極群を取り出し、各電極群を固定した状態で極柱部に回転トルクをかけ、回転角度とトルク、電極群の正負の電極から出力されるタブが溶接された極柱からタブが破断したときの強度を測定した。   In order to verify the vibration resistance effect and impact resistance effect of the present invention, the inventor completely discharges the conventional finished lithium ion battery and the finished lithium ion battery of the present invention to take out the electrode group, and each electrode group Rotating torque was applied to the pole column in a fixed state, and the rotation angle, torque, and strength when the tab broke from the pole column welded with the tab output from the positive and negative electrodes of the electrode group were measured.

図5は、トルクと回転角との関係を示すグラフである。従来の電極群では、回転角度と共に徐々にトルクが増大し、電極タブと極柱溶接部が外周部より破断すると共に、全てのタブが破断した時点でトルクは0となった。本発明品では回転角度の増加は5°程度とほとんどない状態でトルクが増大し、接着剤の固定部(電極群と極柱)がはがれると同時にタブが破断してトルクが0となった。破断トルクは従来品の約1.5倍となった。   FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between torque and rotation angle. In the conventional electrode group, the torque gradually increased with the rotation angle, the electrode tab and the pole column welded portion were broken from the outer peripheral portion, and the torque was zero when all the tabs were broken. In the product of the present invention, the torque increased with almost no increase in the rotation angle of about 5 °. At the same time as the adhesive fixing part (electrode group and pole column) was peeled off, the tab was broken and the torque became zero. The breaking torque was about 1.5 times that of the conventional product.

また、電池をランダム波形による振動試験を96h実施し、完全放電して電極群を取り出し、電極群の外観を確認した。従来品では電極群の外周部に当たる電極タブの一部によじれが確認できた。本発明品では電極群に異常は見られず、電極群と極柱は接着剤で固定されていた。   In addition, the battery was subjected to a vibration test with a random waveform for 96 hours, completely discharged to take out the electrode group, and the appearance of the electrode group was confirmed. In the conventional product, it was confirmed that a part of the electrode tab hitting the outer periphery of the electrode group was twisted. In the product of the present invention, no abnormality was observed in the electrode group, and the electrode group and the pole column were fixed with an adhesive.

図6は、本発明をリチウムイオン電池に適用した他の形態をその長手方向に沿って切断した状態を示す断面図である。図6においては、図1に示した実施の形態を構成する部分と同じ部分には、図1に付した符号の数に100の数を加えた数を符号として付して、詳細な説明を省略する。本実施の形態では、正極板は1本の正極タブ127を有しており、負極番は1本の負極タブ131を有している。従って、正極端子部材111には正極タブ127が1本だけ溶接されており、負極端子部材113には負極タブ131が1本だけ溶接されている。そのため本実施の形態では、極板群109と対向する正極端子部材111の端面と、正極端子部材111と対向する極板群109の端面との間に正極側補強部169が形成されている。また、極板群109と対向する正極端子部材111の端面と、正極端子部材113と対向する極板群109の端面との間に負極側補強部171が形成されている。本実施の形態では、正極端子部材111及び捲回型極板群109並びに負極端子部材113及び捲回型極板群109における接着剤を塗布する面積を広く確保できるため、正極端子部材、捲回型極板群、負極端子部材、正極タブ及び負極タブが互いに変位することを確実に防ぐことができる。本実施の形態では、正極タブ及び負極タブはそれぞれ1本であったが、本実施の形態の構造を採用する場合の、タブの数は1本に限定されるものではない。例えば、複数本のタブが偏って端子部材の外周面に接合される場合にも、本実施の形態と同様に、端子部材と捲回方極板群との間に接着剤を塗布して、補強部を形成してもよいのは勿論である。   FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which another embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a lithium ion battery is cut along its longitudinal direction. In FIG. 6, the same parts as those constituting the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. Omitted. In the present embodiment, the positive electrode plate has one positive electrode tab 127, and the negative electrode number has one negative electrode tab 131. Therefore, only one positive electrode tab 127 is welded to the positive electrode terminal member 111, and only one negative electrode tab 131 is welded to the negative electrode terminal member 113. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a positive electrode side reinforcing portion 169 is formed between the end surface of the positive electrode terminal member 111 facing the electrode plate group 109 and the end surface of the electrode plate group 109 facing the positive electrode terminal member 111. Further, a negative electrode side reinforcing portion 171 is formed between the end face of the positive electrode terminal member 111 facing the electrode plate group 109 and the end face of the electrode plate group 109 facing the positive electrode terminal member 113. In this embodiment, the positive electrode terminal member 111 and the wound-type electrode plate group 109 and the negative electrode terminal member 113 and the wound-type electrode plate group 109 can have a wide area for applying the adhesive. It can prevent reliably that a type | mold electrode group, a negative electrode terminal member, a positive electrode tab, and a negative electrode tab mutually displace. In the present embodiment, there is one positive electrode tab and one negative electrode tab, but the number of tabs when the structure of the present embodiment is adopted is not limited to one. For example, even when a plurality of tabs are biased and joined to the outer peripheral surface of the terminal member, as in the present embodiment, an adhesive is applied between the terminal member and the winding plate group, Of course, the reinforcing portion may be formed.

上記実施の形態のリチウムイオン電池においては、非水電解液として、エチレンカーボネートとジメチルカーボネートとジエチルカーボネートとの混合溶媒中に6フッ化リン酸リチウム(LiPF6)を電解質として溶解した溶液を用いているが、一般的なリチウム塩を電解質として有機溶剤に溶解したものであれば他の非水電解液を用いることができるのは勿論である。混合配合比についても制限されるものではない。 In the lithium ion battery of the above embodiment, as a non-aqueous electrolyte, a solution obtained by dissolving lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ) as an electrolyte in a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate is used. Of course, other non-aqueous electrolytes can be used as long as a general lithium salt is dissolved in an organic solvent as an electrolyte. The mixing ratio is not limited.

また上記実施の形態においては、リチウムイオン電池について説明をしたが、本発明は、他の非水電解液二次電池に適用することができるのは勿論である。   In the above embodiment, the lithium ion battery has been described. However, the present invention can of course be applied to other non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries.

本発明によれば、耐振動性及び耐衝撃性を高めても、電池としての特性が低下しない非水電解液電池を提供することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, even if it improves vibration resistance and impact resistance, the nonaqueous electrolyte battery with which the characteristic as a battery does not fall can be provided.
