Description

本発明は、複数の電極体と、電極端子と、複数の電極体及び電極端子に電気的に接続される集電体とを備える蓄電素子及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a power storage device including a plurality of electrode bodies, electrode terminals, a plurality of electrode bodies and a current collector electrically connected to the electrode terminals, and a method for manufacturing the same.

世界的な環境問題への取り組みとして、ガソリン自動車から電気自動車への転換が重要になってきている。このため、リチウムイオン二次電池などの蓄電素子を動力源に用いた電気自動車の開発が進められている。そして、このような蓄電素子においては、一般的に、正極と負極とを有する電極体と、電極端子と、電極体及び電極端子を電気的に接続する集電体とを備えている。   The shift from gasoline cars to electric cars has become important as a global environmental problem. For this reason, development of an electric vehicle using a power storage element such as a lithium ion secondary battery as a power source is being promoted. Such a power storage device generally includes an electrode body having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, an electrode terminal, and a current collector that electrically connects the electrode body and the electrode terminal.

ここで、従来、例えば高レートサイクルの充放電を行うハイブリッド電気自動車(Hybrid Electric Vehicle、HEV)に用いられるような蓄電素子においては、複数の電極体を備え、集電体を当該複数の電極体に接続する構成が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Here, conventionally, for example, a power storage element used in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) that performs charge / discharge at a high rate cycle includes a plurality of electrode bodies, and the current collector is provided with the plurality of electrode bodies. The structure connected to is proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

特開2011−108644号公報JP 2011-108644 A

しかしながら、上記従来の蓄電素子では、複数の電極体を有する構成において、電極体に集電体を接続する作業が困難であるという問題がある。   However, the conventional power storage device has a problem that it is difficult to connect a current collector to an electrode body in a configuration having a plurality of electrode bodies.

つまり、特許文献1に開示された従来の蓄電素子においては、2つの電極体(電極組立体)と2本の集電リードを有する集電体とを備えており、一方の電極体のエッジ部分に一方の集電リードを接続し、他方の電極体のエッジ部分に他方の集電リードを接続する。このため、1つの電極体のエッジ部分に1つの集電リードを接続する必要があるが、1つの電極体のエッジ部分には非常に多くの枚数の金属箔が積層されているため、当該多くの枚数の金属箔に集電リードを溶接などで接続することは困難である。   In other words, the conventional power storage element disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes two electrode bodies (electrode assemblies) and a current collector having two current collecting leads, and an edge portion of one electrode body. One current collecting lead is connected to the other electrode body, and the other current collecting lead is connected to the edge portion of the other electrode body. For this reason, it is necessary to connect one current collecting lead to the edge portion of one electrode body. However, since a large number of metal foils are laminated on the edge portion of one electrode body, It is difficult to connect the current collecting lead to the number of metal foils by welding or the like.

本発明は、上記問題を解決するためになされたものであり、複数の電極体を有する構成において、容易に、電極体に集電体を接続することができる蓄電素子及びその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above problem, and provides a power storage element that can easily connect a current collector to an electrode body in a configuration having a plurality of electrode bodies, and a method for manufacturing the same. For the purpose.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明の一態様に係る蓄電素子は、正極及び負極を有し第一方向に並列に配置される複数の電極体と、電極端子と、前記複数の電極体及び前記電極端子に電気的に接続される集電体とを備える蓄電素子であって、前記複数の電極体のそれぞれは、前記正極または前記負極の活物質層の非形成部が積層された積層部であって、前記第一方向とは交差する第二方向に延びる積層部を前記第一方向に並列に複数有し、前記集電体は、前記複数の電極体が有する複数の前記積層部であって前記第一方向に並列に配置された複数の前記積層部のうち両端に配置される2つの積層部である外側積層部のそれぞれに接合される、前記第二方向に延びる2つの接合部を有し、前記2つの接合部は、前記2つの外側積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合されている。   In order to achieve the above object, a power storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of electrode bodies having a positive electrode and a negative electrode and arranged in parallel in a first direction, an electrode terminal, the plurality of electrode bodies, An electrical storage element including a current collector electrically connected to the electrode terminal, wherein each of the plurality of electrode bodies is a stacked portion in which active portions of the positive electrode or the negative electrode are not formed. And a plurality of stacked portions extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction in parallel with the first direction, and the current collector is a plurality of the stacked portions included in the plurality of electrode bodies. Two joints extending in the second direction that are joined to each of the outer laminate parts that are two laminate parts arranged at both ends of the plurality of laminate parts arranged in parallel in the first direction. Each of the two outer laminated portions has the two joint portions. Bundled and are joined.

これによれば、蓄電素子は、複数の積層部を有する電極体を複数備えており、集電体は、複数の電極体が有する複数の積層部のうち両端に配置される2つの積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合される2つの接合部を有している。つまり、電極体が有する複数の積層部のうちの1つの積層部に接合部が接合される。ここで、接合部を電極体が有する複数の積層部と接合させる場合には、非常に多くの枚数の金属箔と接合部とを束ねて接合する必要があるが、1つの積層部と接合させるので、少ない枚数の金属箔と接合部とを束ねて接合すればよい。このため、複数の電極体を有する蓄電素子において、容易に、電極体に集電体を接続することができる。   According to this, the power storage element includes a plurality of electrode bodies having a plurality of stacked portions, and the current collector is formed of two stacked portions disposed at both ends of the plurality of stacked portions of the plurality of electrode bodies. It has two joint parts which are bundled and joined together. That is, the bonding portion is bonded to one of the plurality of stacked portions included in the electrode body. Here, in the case where the bonding portion is bonded to a plurality of stacked portions included in the electrode body, it is necessary to bundle and bond a very large number of metal foils and the bonded portions, but the bonded portion is bonded to one stacked portion. Therefore, what is necessary is just to bundle a small number of metal foil, and a junction part, and to join. For this reason, in a power storage device having a plurality of electrode bodies, a current collector can be easily connected to the electrode bodies.

また、前記集電体は、さらに、前記電極端子側に配置される端子接続部を有し、前記2つの接合部は、前記端子接続部の対向する両側面部から前記第二方向に垂れ下がるように配置されていることにしてもよい。   The current collector further includes a terminal connection portion disposed on the electrode terminal side, and the two joint portions hang down in the second direction from opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion. It may be arranged.

これによれば、集電体の2つの接合部は、端子接続部の対向する両側面部から垂れ下がるように配置されている。つまり、集電体は、平板状の部材を折り曲げたような簡単な形状であるため、容易に集電体を製造することができる。   According to this, the two joint portions of the current collector are arranged so as to hang down from the opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion. That is, since the current collector has a simple shape such as a flat plate member bent, the current collector can be easily manufactured.

また、前記2つの接合部は、前記端子接続部の対向する両側面部から捻られることなく折り曲げられて形成されていることにしてもよい。   Further, the two joint portions may be formed by being bent without being twisted from opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion.

これによれば、2つの接合部は、端子接続部から捻られることなく折り曲げられて形成されているため、捻り部分と電極体との干渉を回避するような必要がない。つまり、捻りによって集電体を製造した場合には、捻り部分が電極体と干渉するのを避けるために、電極体の積層部をフォーミング加工する必要があるが、当該蓄電素子においては、集電体は捻られることなく製造されているため、当該積層部をフォーミング加工する必要がない。このため、当該蓄電素子において、容易に、電極体に集電体を接続することができる。   According to this, since the two joint portions are formed by being bent without being twisted from the terminal connection portion, it is not necessary to avoid interference between the twisted portion and the electrode body. In other words, when a current collector is manufactured by twisting, it is necessary to form the laminated portion of the electrode body in order to avoid the twisted portion from interfering with the electrode body. Since the body is manufactured without being twisted, it is not necessary to form the laminated portion. For this reason, in the said electrical storage element, a collector can be easily connected to an electrode body.

また、前記集電体は、前記複数の電極体が有する前記複数の積層部のうち、前記2つの外側積層部と異なる積層部である内側積層部とは接合されることなく、前記2つの接合部で前記2つの外側積層部と接合されていることにしてもよい。   Further, the current collector is not joined to the inner laminated portion, which is a laminated portion different from the two outer laminated portions, of the plurality of laminated portions of the plurality of electrode bodies, and the two joined members A portion may be joined to the two outer laminated portions.

これによれば、集電体の2つの接合部のそれぞれを両端の積層部に接合させればよいので、外側から溶接作業を行うことができ、容易に、電極体の積層部に集電体の接合部を接合させることができる。   According to this, since it is only necessary to join each of the two joining portions of the current collector to the laminated portions at both ends, welding work can be performed from the outside, and the current collector can be easily attached to the laminated portion of the electrode body. Can be joined.

また、前記複数の積層部のうち隣り合う2つの前記内側積層部であって異なる電極体に含まれる2つの前記内側積層部は、束ねられて接合されていることにしてもよい。   Further, two inner laminated portions that are adjacent to each other among the plurality of laminated portions and are included in different electrode bodies may be bundled and joined.

これによれば、隣り合う電極体に含まれる内側積層部同士が束ねられて接合されているため、当該隣り合う電極体間の隙間を塞ぐことができている。ここで、隣り合う電極体間に隙間が生じている場合には、例えば超音波溶接で積層部に接合部を接合する際に、金属箔の粉塵等の異物が当該隙間に入り込むおそれがある。特に負極側から正極側に粉塵が移動(銅片がアルミ側へ移動)した場合には、蓄電素子の容量低下が生じるおそれがある。このため、当該蓄電素子においては、隣り合う電極体間の隙間を塞いでいるため、金属箔の粉塵等の異物が移動するのを抑制し、容量低下の防止を図ることができる。また、隣り合う電極体の内側積層部同士を束ねることで、当該隣り合う電極体同士の電気的均衡を保つこともできる。   According to this, since the inner laminated portions included in the adjacent electrode bodies are bundled and joined, the gap between the adjacent electrode bodies can be closed. Here, in the case where a gap is generated between adjacent electrode bodies, for example, when joining the joined portion to the laminated portion by ultrasonic welding, there is a possibility that foreign matters such as metal foil dust enter the gap. In particular, when dust moves from the negative electrode side to the positive electrode side (the copper piece moves to the aluminum side), the capacity of the power storage element may be reduced. For this reason, in the said electrical storage element, since the clearance gap between adjacent electrode bodies is block | closed, it can suppress that foreign materials, such as dust of metal foil, move, and can aim at prevention of a capacity | capacitance fall. Moreover, the electrical balance of the said adjacent electrode bodies can also be maintained by bundling the inner side laminated parts of the adjacent electrode bodies.

また、前記2つの内側積層部は、溶接またはかしめによって接合されていることにしてもよい。   The two inner laminated portions may be joined by welding or caulking.

これによれば、2つの内側積層部を、超音波溶接、抵抗溶接などの溶接やかしめを利用することで、容易に接合することができる。   According to this, two inner laminated parts can be easily joined by utilizing welding and caulking such as ultrasonic welding and resistance welding.

また、前記複数の電極体のそれぞれが有する前記複数の積層部は、前記正極または前記負極の活物質層の非形成部が巻回されて積層されることで形成された前記第一方向に並ぶ2つの積層部であり、前記2つの接合部は、前記2つの積層部で構成される前記複数の積層部のうちの前記2つの外側積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合されていることにしてもよい。   In addition, the plurality of stacked portions included in each of the plurality of electrode bodies are arranged in the first direction formed by winding and stacking a non-formation portion of the active material layer of the positive electrode or the negative electrode. The two laminated portions, and the two joining portions are bundled and joined to each of the two outer laminated portions of the plurality of laminated portions constituted by the two laminated portions. Also good.

これによれば、複数の電極体は巻回型の電極体であるため、それぞれの電極体は、電極を巻回することにより、容易に、2つの積層部を形成することができる。   According to this, since a plurality of electrode bodies are winding type electrode bodies, each electrode body can form two lamination parts easily by winding an electrode.

また、前記蓄電素子は、前記複数の電極体として、2つの電極体である第一電極体と第二電極体とを備え、前記第一電極体は、前記複数の積層部として、前記第一方向に並ぶ2つの積層部である第一積層部と第二積層部とを有し、前記第二電極体は、前記複数の積層部として、前記第一方向に並ぶ2つの積層部である第三積層部と第四積層部とを有し、前記2つの接合部は、前記2つの外側積層部としての前記第一積層部及び前記第四積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合されるとともに、前記第二積層部と前記第三積層部とは、束ねられて接合されていることにしてもよい。   The power storage element includes a first electrode body and a second electrode body, which are two electrode bodies, as the plurality of electrode bodies, and the first electrode body includes the first electrode body as the plurality of stacked portions. A first laminated portion and a second laminated portion that are two laminated portions arranged in the direction, and the second electrode body is a second laminated portion arranged in the first direction as the plurality of laminated portions. The three laminated parts and the fourth laminated part, and the two joined parts are bundled and joined with the first laminated part and the fourth laminated part as the two outer laminated parts, The second laminated portion and the third laminated portion may be bundled and joined.

これによれば、蓄電素子が2つの電極体を備えている場合には、2つの接合部は、外側の2つの積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合されており、内側の積層部同士も束ねられて接合されている。このように、容易に、電極体と集電体との接合を行うことができる。   According to this, in the case where the power storage element includes two electrode bodies, the two joining portions are bundled and joined to each of the two outer laminated portions, and the inner laminated portions are also bundled together. Being joined. In this way, the electrode body and the current collector can be easily joined.

また、上記目的を達成するために、本発明の一態様に係る蓄電素子の製造方法は、正極及び負極を有し第一方向に並列に配置される複数の電極体と、電極端子と、前記複数の電極体及び前記電極端子に電気的に接続される集電体とを備える蓄電素子の製造方法であって、前記複数の電極体のそれぞれは、前記正極または前記負極の活物質層の非形成部が積層された積層部であって、前記第一方向とは交差する第二方向に延びる積層部を前記第一方向に並列に複数有しており、前記蓄電素子の製造方法は、前記複数の電極体が有する複数の前記積層部であって前記第一方向に並列に配置された複数の前記積層部のうち両端に配置される2つの積層部である外側積層部のそれぞれに、前記集電体が有する前記第二方向に延びる2つの接合部を隣接して配置する接合部配置工程と、前記2つの接合部を、前記2つの外側積層部のそれぞれと束ねて接合する接合部接合工程とを含む。   In order to achieve the above object, a method for manufacturing a power storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of electrode bodies having a positive electrode and a negative electrode and arranged in parallel in a first direction, the electrode terminals, A power storage element manufacturing method comprising a plurality of electrode bodies and a current collector electrically connected to the electrode terminals, wherein each of the plurality of electrode bodies is a non-active material layer of the positive electrode or the negative electrode. The forming part is a stacked part, and has a plurality of stacked parts extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction in parallel in the first direction. Each of the plurality of stacked portions of the plurality of electrode bodies, and each of the outer stacked portions that are two stacked portions disposed at both ends among the plurality of stacked portions disposed in parallel in the first direction, Adjacent two junctions extending in the second direction of the current collector Placing Te comprises a joint arrangement step, the two junctions, and a joint portion joining step of joining a bundle with each of the two outer laminate.

これによれば、蓄電素子の製造方法において、複数の電極体が有する複数の積層部のうち両端の2つの積層部のそれぞれに、集電体の2つの接合部を隣接して配置し、当該2つの接合部を当該2つの積層部のそれぞれと束ねて接合する。つまり、電極体が有する複数の積層部のうちの1つの積層部に接合部が接合されるので、少ない枚数の金属箔と接合部とを束ねて接合すればよい。このため、当該蓄電素子の製造方法において、容易に、電極体に集電体を接続することができる。   According to this, in the method for manufacturing the power storage element, two junction portions of the current collector are arranged adjacent to each of the two stacked portions at both ends of the plurality of stacked portions of the plurality of electrode bodies, Two joining portions are bundled and joined to each of the two laminated portions. That is, since the joining portion is joined to one of the plurality of laminated portions of the electrode body, a small number of metal foils and the joining portion may be bundled and joined. For this reason, in the manufacturing method of the said electrical storage element, a collector can be easily connected to an electrode body.

また、さらに、前記集電体の前記電極端子側に配置される端子接続部の対向する両側面部から、前記2つの接合部を捻ることなく折り曲げて前記集電体を形成する集電体形成工程を含むことにしてもよい。   Further, the current collector forming step of forming the current collector by bending the two joint portions without twisting them from the opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion arranged on the electrode terminal side of the current collector. May be included.

これによれば、蓄電素子の製造方法において、端子接続部から2つの接合部を捻ることなく折り曲げて集電体を形成する。つまり、集電体は、平板状の部材を折り曲げたような簡単な形状であるため、容易に集電体を製造することができる。また、集電体を捻ることなく形成するため、捻り部分と電極体との干渉を回避するために積層部をフォーミング加工するというような必要がない。このため、当該蓄電素子の製造方法において、容易に、電極体に集電体を接続することができる。   According to this, in the method for manufacturing the electricity storage element, the current collector is formed by bending the two joint portions from the terminal connection portion without twisting.

蓄電素子10は、電気を充電し、また、電気を放電することのできる二次電池であり、より具体的には、リチウムイオン二次電池などの非水電解質二次電池である。特に、蓄電素子10は、高レートサイクルの充放電を行うようなハイブリッド電気自動車(HEV)に適用される。なお、蓄電素子10は、非水電解質二次電池には限定されず、非水電解質二次電池以外の二次電池であってもよいし、キャパシタであってもよい。   The power storage element 10 is a secondary battery that can charge electricity and discharge electricity, and more specifically, is a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery. In particular, the electric storage element 10 is applied to a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) that performs charging and discharging at a high rate cycle. In addition, the electrical storage element 10 is not limited to a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, A secondary battery other than a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery may be sufficient, and a capacitor may be sufficient as it.

これらの図に示すように、蓄電素子10は、容器100と、正極端子200と、負極端子300とを備えている。また、容器100内方には、正極集電体120と、負極集電体130と、2つの電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150とが収容されている。   As shown in these drawings, the electricity storage device 10 includes a container 100, a positive electrode terminal 200, and a negative electrode terminal 300. Further, inside the container 100, a positive electrode current collector 120, a negative electrode current collector 130, and a first electrode body 140 and a second electrode body 150 which are two electrode bodies are accommodated.

また、蓄電素子10の容器100の内部には電解液(非水電解液)などの液体が封入されているが、当該液体の図示は省略する。なお、容器100に封入される電解液としては、蓄電素子10の性能を損なうものでなければその種類に特に制限はなく様々なものを選択することができる。   In addition, a liquid such as an electrolytic solution (non-aqueous electrolytic solution) is sealed inside the container 100 of the electricity storage element 10, but the illustration of the liquid is omitted. In addition, as long as it does not impair the performance of the electrical storage element 10, as the electrolyte solution enclosed with the container 100, there is no restriction | limiting in particular and various things can be selected.

容器100は、矩形筒状で底を備える本体111と、本体111の開口を閉塞する板状部材である蓋体110とで構成されている。また、容器100は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150等を内部に収容後、蓋体110と本体111とが溶接等されることにより、内部を密封することができるものとなっている。なお、蓋体110及び本体111の材質は、特に限定されないが、例えばステンレス鋼など溶接可能な金属であるのが好ましい。   The container 100 includes a main body 111 having a rectangular cylindrical shape and a bottom, and a lid 110 that is a plate-like member that closes an opening of the main body 111. Moreover, the container 100 can seal an inside by accommodating the 1st electrode body 140, the 2nd electrode body 150 grade | etc., Inside, and the lid body 110 and the main body 111 being welded. Yes. The material of the lid 110 and the main body 111 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a weldable metal such as stainless steel.

第一電極体140及び第二電極体150は、並列に配置される2つの発電要素であり、ともに、正極集電体120及び負極集電体130と電気的に接続される。ここで、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が並列に配置される方向(Y軸方向)を、以下では第一方向とする。なお、第一電極体140と第二電極体150とは、同様の構成を有するため、以下では第一電極体140についての説明を中心に行い、第二電極体150についての説明は省略または簡略化する。   The first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 are two power generation elements arranged in parallel, and are both electrically connected to the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130. Here, the direction (Y-axis direction) in which the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 are arranged in parallel will be referred to as the first direction below. In addition, since the 1st electrode body 140 and the 2nd electrode body 150 have the same structure, below, it demonstrates centering on the description of the 1st electrode body 140, and the description about the 2nd electrode body 150 is abbreviate | omitted or simplified. Turn into.

第一電極体140は、正極と負極とセパレータとを備え、電気を蓄えることができる部材である。正極は、アルミニウムやアルミニウム合金などからなる長尺帯状の金属箔である正極基材箔上に正極活物質層が形成されたものである。また、負極は、銅や銅合金などからなる長尺帯状の金属箔である負極基材箔上に負極活物質層が形成されたものである。また、セパレータは、樹脂からなる微多孔性のシートである。   The first electrode body 140 includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, and is a member that can store electricity. In the positive electrode, a positive electrode active material layer is formed on a positive electrode base material foil which is a long strip-shaped metal foil made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The negative electrode is obtained by forming a negative electrode active material layer on a negative electrode substrate foil, which is a long strip-shaped metal foil made of copper, a copper alloy, or the like. The separator is a microporous sheet made of resin.

ここで、正極活物質層に用いられる正極活物質、または負極活物質層に用いられる負極活物質としては、リチウムイオンを吸蔵放出可能な正極活物質または負極活物質であれば、適宜公知の材料を使用できる。   Here, the positive electrode active material used for the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active material used for the negative electrode active material layer may be a known material as long as it is a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions. Can be used.

そして、第一電極体140は、負極と正極との間にセパレータが挟み込まれるように層状に配置されたものが巻き回されて形成されている。なお、同図では、第一電極体140の形状としては長円形状を示したが、円形状または楕円形状でもよい。また、第一電極体140の形状は巻回型に限らず、平板状極板を積層した形状でもよい。なお、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の構成の詳細な説明については、後述する。   And the 1st electrode body 140 is formed by winding what was arrange | positioned in layers so that a separator may be pinched | interposed between a negative electrode and a positive electrode. In the drawing, the shape of the first electrode body 140 is an ellipse, but it may be a circle or an ellipse. Further, the shape of the first electrode body 140 is not limited to the winding type, and may be a shape in which flat plate plates are laminated. A detailed description of the configuration of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 will be described later.

以上のように、蓄電素子10は、複数の電極体(本実施の形態では2つの電極体)を有しているため、同一体積(容積)の容器100に単数の電極体を用いる場合に比べ、以下の点で好ましい。つまり、複数の電極体を用いることで、単数の電極体を用いる場合に比べ、容器100のコーナー部のデッドスペースが減り、電極体の占める割合が向上するため、蓄電素子10の容量アップにつながる。また、特に、高入出力(ハイレート)用の電極体では、高容量タイプの電極体に比べて、金属箔上の活物質の量を減らす必要があり、電極体中での金属箔やセパレータの割合が高まる。このため、単数の電極体を用いた場合は電極の巻き数が多くなるため硬くて柔軟性が低く容器100に挿入しづらくなるが、複数の電極体を用いることで1つの電極体における巻き数を少なくし、柔軟性が高い電極体を実現することができる。   As described above, since the electricity storage element 10 has a plurality of electrode bodies (two electrode bodies in the present embodiment), compared to the case where a single electrode body is used for the container 100 having the same volume (volume). It is preferable in the following points. That is, by using a plurality of electrode bodies, the dead space in the corner portion of the container 100 is reduced and the ratio of the electrode bodies is improved as compared with the case of using a single electrode body, leading to an increase in the capacity of the power storage element 10. . In particular, in an electrode body for high input / output (high rate), it is necessary to reduce the amount of active material on the metal foil as compared with a high capacity type electrode body. The proportion increases. For this reason, when a single electrode body is used, the number of turns of the electrode is increased, so that it is hard and flexible and difficult to insert into the container 100. However, by using a plurality of electrode bodies, the number of turns in one electrode body is increased. And an electrode body with high flexibility can be realized.

正極端子200は、第一電極体140の正極及び第二電極体150の正極に電気的に接続された電極端子であり、負極端子300は、第一電極体140の負極及び第二電極体150の負極に電気的に接続された電極端子である。つまり、正極端子200及び負極端子300は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に蓄えられている電気を蓄電素子10の外部空間に導出し、また、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に電気を蓄えるために蓄電素子10の内部空間に電気を導入するための金属製の電極端子である。   The positive electrode terminal 200 is an electrode terminal electrically connected to the positive electrode of the first electrode body 140 and the positive electrode of the second electrode body 150, and the negative electrode terminal 300 is the negative electrode of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. It is an electrode terminal electrically connected to the negative electrode. That is, the positive electrode terminal 200 and the negative electrode terminal 300 lead the electricity stored in the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 to the external space of the power storage element 10, and the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode It is a metal electrode terminal for introducing electricity into the internal space of the electricity storage element 10 in order to store electricity in the body 150.

また、正極端子200及び負極端子300は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の上方に配置された蓋体110に取り付けられている。具体的には、図3に示すように、正極端子200は、突出部210が蓋体110の貫通孔110aと正極集電体120の貫通孔121aとに挿入されて、かしめられることにより、正極集電体120とともに蓋体110に固定される。また同様に、負極端子300は、突出部310が蓋体110の貫通孔110bと負極集電体130の貫通孔131aとに挿入されて、かしめられることにより、負極集電体130とともに蓋体110に固定される。なお、パッキン等も配置されているが、同図では省略して図示している。   Further, the positive electrode terminal 200 and the negative electrode terminal 300 are attached to the lid body 110 disposed above the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the positive electrode terminal 200 has a protruding portion 210 inserted into the through hole 110 a of the lid body 110 and the through hole 121 a of the positive electrode current collector 120, and is caulked. Along with the current collector 120, the lid 110 is fixed. Similarly, in the negative electrode terminal 300, the protruding portion 310 is inserted into the through hole 110 b of the lid body 110 and the through hole 131 a of the negative electrode current collector 130 and caulked, so that the lid body 110 together with the negative electrode current collector 130 is inserted. Fixed to. In addition, although packing etc. are also arrange | positioned, it abbreviate | omits and shows in the same figure.

正極集電体120は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の正極と容器100の本体111の側壁との間に配置され、正極端子200と第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の正極とに電気的に接続される導電性と剛性とを備えた部材である。なお、正極集電体120は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の正極基材箔と同様、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金で形成されている。   The positive electrode current collector 120 is disposed between the positive electrodes of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 and the side wall of the main body 111 of the container 100, and the positive electrode terminal 200, the first electrode body 140, and the second electrode body 150. This is a member having electrical conductivity and rigidity that are electrically connected to the positive electrode. The positive electrode current collector 120 is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, like the positive electrode base foils of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150.

負極集電体130は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の負極と容器100の本体111の側壁との間に配置され、負極端子300と第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の負極とに電気的に接続される導電性と剛性とを備えた部材である。なお、負極集電体130は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の負極基材箔と同様、銅または銅合金で形成されている。   The negative electrode current collector 130 is disposed between the negative electrodes of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 and the side wall of the main body 111 of the container 100, and the negative electrode terminal 300, the first electrode body 140, and the second electrode body 150. This is a member having electrical conductivity and rigidity that are electrically connected to the negative electrode. The negative electrode current collector 130 is made of copper or a copper alloy, like the negative electrode base foils of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150.

次に、正極集電体120及び負極集電体130の構成について、詳細に説明する。なお、正極集電体120と負極集電体130とは、同様の構成を有するため、以下では正極集電体120についての説明を中心に行い、負極集電体130についての説明は省略または簡略化する。   Next, the structure of the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 will be described in detail. In addition, since the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 have the same configuration, the following description will focus on the positive electrode current collector 120, and the description of the negative electrode current collector 130 will be omitted or simplified. Turn into.

図4は、本発明の実施の形態に係る正極集電体120の構成を示す斜視図である。また、図5は、本発明の実施の形態に係る正極集電体120の製造過程を説明するための図である。   FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the positive electrode current collector 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Moreover, FIG. 5 is a figure for demonstrating the manufacturing process of the positive electrode electrical power collector 120 which concerns on embodiment of this invention.

図4に示すように、正極集電体120は、端子接続部121と、2つの接合部122、123とを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 4, the positive electrode current collector 120 includes a terminal connection portion 121 and two joint portions 122 and 123.

端子接続部121は、正極端子200側(Z軸プラス側)に配置される平板状の部位である。端子接続部121には、正極端子200の突出部210が挿入される貫通孔121aが形成されている。つまり、端子接続部121は、突出部210が貫通孔110aに挿入されて蓋体110とともにかしめられることにより、蓋体110に固定される。   The terminal connection part 121 is a flat plate-like part disposed on the positive electrode terminal 200 side (Z-axis plus side). The terminal connection part 121 is formed with a through hole 121a into which the protruding part 210 of the positive electrode terminal 200 is inserted. That is, the terminal connecting portion 121 is fixed to the lid 110 by inserting the protruding portion 210 into the through hole 110 a and caulking with the lid 110.

2つの接合部122、123は、端子接続部121の両側面部に接続された棒状の部材である。具体的には、2つの接合部122、123は、端子接続部121の対向する両側面部から第二方向に垂れ下がるように配置された第二方向に延びる平板状の部材であり、後述の外側積層部のそれぞれに接合される。ここで、第二方向とは、第一方向(Y軸方向)とは交差する方向であり、本実施の形態では、Z軸方向である。   The two joint portions 122 and 123 are rod-shaped members connected to both side surface portions of the terminal connection portion 121. Specifically, the two joint portions 122 and 123 are flat plate-like members extending in the second direction and arranged so as to hang down from the opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion 121 in the second direction. Joined to each of the parts. Here, the second direction is a direction that intersects the first direction (Y-axis direction), and in the present embodiment, is the Z-axis direction.

つまり、2つの接合部122、123は、Z軸方向に延びる部材であり、XZ平面に平行な面を対向して有している。なお、第二方向は、Z軸方向には限定されず、Y軸方向と交差する方向であればよい。   That is, the two joint portions 122 and 123 are members extending in the Z-axis direction, and have faces parallel to the XZ plane. The second direction is not limited to the Z-axis direction, and may be any direction that intersects the Y-axis direction.

また、図5に示すように、2つの接合部122、123は、端子接続部121の対向する両側面部から捻られることなく折り曲げられて形成されている。つまり、折り曲げられる前の接合部124、125は、端子接続部121と同一平面(XY平面)内に配置されており、この接合部124、125がZ軸マイナス方向に折り曲げられることで、端子接続部121と垂直な方向(Z軸方向)に延びる接合部122、123が形成される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the two joint portions 122 and 123 are formed by being bent without being twisted from opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion 121. That is, the joint portions 124 and 125 before being bent are arranged in the same plane (XY plane) as the terminal connection portion 121, and the joint portions 124 and 125 are bent in the negative direction of the Z-axis, thereby connecting the terminals. Joint portions 122 and 123 extending in a direction (Z-axis direction) perpendicular to the portion 121 are formed.

次に、正極集電体120及び負極集電体130が第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に接合される構成について、詳細に説明する。なお、以下においても、正極集電体120が第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に接合される構成と、負極集電体130が第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に接合される構成とは、同様の構成を有するため、以下では正極集電体120についての説明を中心に行い、負極集電体130についての説明は省略または簡略化する。   Next, a configuration in which the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 are joined to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 will be described in detail.

Specifically, FIG. 6A shows the state in which the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 shown in FIG. 6 are joined to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 in the Y-axis minus direction. It is a side view at the time of seeing from a direction. FIG. 6B shows the state in which the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 shown in FIG. 6 are joined to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 as viewed from the Y axis plus direction. FIG.

これらの図に示すように、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150のそれぞれは、正極または負極の活物質層の非形成部が積層された積層部であって、第一方向(Y軸方向)とは交差する第二方向(本実施の形態ではZ軸方向)に延びる積層部を第一方向に並列に複数有している。   As shown in these drawings, each of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 is a laminated portion in which a non-formation portion of a positive electrode or negative electrode active material layer is laminated, and has a first direction (Y-axis A plurality of stacked portions extending in parallel in the first direction extend in the second direction (the Z-axis direction in the present embodiment) intersecting with the (direction).

つまり、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150において、正極と負極とは、セパレータを介して、巻回軸(本実施の形態ではX軸方向に平行な仮想軸)の方向に互いにずらして巻回されている。そして、正極及び負極は、それぞれのずらされた方向の端縁部に、活物質層が形成されていない部分(活物質層非形成部)を有している。   That is, in the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are shifted from each other in the direction of the winding axis (in this embodiment, a virtual axis parallel to the X-axis direction) via the separator. It is wound. And the positive electrode and the negative electrode have the part (active material layer non-formation part) in which the active material layer is not formed in the edge part of each shifted direction.

具体的には、正極は、巻回軸方向の一端(X軸プラス方向の端部)に、正極活物質層の非形成部が積層された積層部を有している。また、負極は、巻回軸方向の他端(X軸マイナス方向の端部)に、負極活物質層の非形成部が積層された積層部を有している。つまり、正極の露出した金属箔の層によって正極側の積層部が形成され、負極の露出した金属箔の層によって負極側の積層部が形成されている。   Specifically, the positive electrode has a stacked portion in which a non-forming portion of the positive electrode active material layer is stacked at one end in the winding axis direction (end portion in the X-axis plus direction). Further, the negative electrode has a laminated portion in which a non-formation portion of the negative electrode active material layer is laminated on the other end in the winding axis direction (end portion in the X-axis minus direction). That is, the positive electrode-side laminated portion is formed by the exposed metal foil layer of the positive electrode, and the negative electrode-side laminated portion is formed by the exposed metal foil layer of the negative electrode.

Further, these metal foils form a laminated portion by stacking 40 or less sheets such as 30 sheets.

In addition, the second electrode body 150 includes, on the positive electrode side, a third positive electrode stacked portion 151 and a fourth positive electrode stacked portion 152 that are two stacked portions arranged in the first direction as a plurality of stacked portions.

つまり、第一正極積層部141及び第二正極積層部142は、第一電極体140の正極のうち正極活物質層が形成されていない正極基材箔が積層された金属箔群である。また、第三正極積層部151及び第四正極積層部152は、第二電極体150の正極のうち正極活物質層が形成されていない正極基材箔が積層された金属箔群である。   That is, the first positive electrode laminate portion 141 and the second positive electrode laminate portion 142 are a metal foil group in which positive electrode base foils on which no positive electrode active material layer is formed are laminated among the positive electrodes of the first electrode body 140. The third positive electrode laminate portion 151 and the fourth positive electrode laminate portion 152 are a metal foil group in which positive electrode base foils on which the positive electrode active material layer is not formed among the positive electrodes of the second electrode body 150 are laminated.

そして、正極集電体120の2つの接合部122、123は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が有する複数の積層部であって第一方向に並列に配置された複数の積層部のうち両端に配置される2つの積層部である外側積層部のそれぞれに接合されている。つまり、第一正極積層部141、第二正極積層部142、第三正極積層部151及び第四正極積層部152のうち両端に配置される第一正極積層部141及び第四正極積層部152が外側積層部であり、接合部122、123は、第一正極積層部141及び第四正極積層部152のそれぞれと接合されている。   The two joining portions 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 are a plurality of laminated portions included in the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 and are arranged in parallel in the first direction. Are joined to each of the outer laminated parts which are two laminated parts arranged at both ends.

次に、蓄電素子10の製造方法について、説明する。   Next, the manufacturing method of the electrical storage element 10 is demonstrated.

図9は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電素子10の製造方法を示すフローチャートである。具体的には、同図は、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に正極集電体120及び負極集電体130を接合する工程を説明するフローチャートである。なお、以下においても、正極集電体120を第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に接合する工程と、負極集電体130を第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に接合する工程とは同様であるため、以下では正極集電体120についての説明を中心に行い、負極集電体130についての説明は省略または簡略化する。   FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a method for manufacturing power storage device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, this figure is a flowchart for explaining a process of joining the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. In the following, the step of bonding the positive electrode current collector 120 to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 and the step of bonding the negative electrode current collector 130 to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 are also described. Therefore, in the following description, the description of the positive electrode current collector 120 will be mainly given, and the description of the negative electrode current collector 130 will be omitted or simplified.

同図に示すように、まず、集電体形成工程として、正極集電体120の正極端子200側に配置される端子接続部121の対向する両側面部から、2つの接合部122、123を捻ることなく折り曲げて正極集電体120を形成する(S102)。   As shown in the figure, first, as a current collector forming step, two joint portions 122 and 123 are twisted from opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion 121 arranged on the positive electrode terminal 200 side of the positive electrode current collector 120. The positive electrode current collector 120 is formed by bending without bending (S102).

つまり、上述の通り、図5に示したように平板状の部材を折り曲げることで、図4に示した正極集電体120を形成する。また、同様にして、負極集電体130についても形成する。   That is, as described above, the positive electrode current collector 120 shown in FIG. 4 is formed by bending a flat member as shown in FIG. Similarly, the negative electrode current collector 130 is also formed.

次に、接合部配置工程として、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が有する複数の積層部であって第一方向に並列に配置された複数の積層部のうち両端に配置される2つの積層部である外側積層部のそれぞれに、正極集電体120が有する第二方向に延びる2つの接合部122、123を隣接して配置する(S104)。   Next, as a joining part arrangement | positioning process, it is the some laminated part which the 1st electrode body 140 and the 2nd electrode body 150 have, Comprising: 2 arrange | positioned at both ends among the several laminated parts arrange | positioned in parallel in the 1st direction Two joining portions 122 and 123 extending in the second direction of the positive electrode current collector 120 are disposed adjacent to each of the outer laminated portions which are the two laminated portions (S104).

つまり、図6〜図8に示したように、接合部122、123を、第一正極積層部141及び第四正極積層部152のそれぞれと隣接して配置する。また、同様にして、負極集電体130の接合部132、133についても、第一負極積層部143及び第四負極積層部154のそれぞれと隣接して配置する。   That is, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8, the joint portions 122 and 123 are disposed adjacent to the first positive electrode stack portion 141 and the fourth positive electrode stack portion 152. Similarly, the joining portions 132 and 133 of the negative electrode current collector 130 are also arranged adjacent to the first negative electrode laminate portion 143 and the fourth negative electrode laminate portion 154, respectively.

次に、接合部接合工程として、2つの接合部122、123を、2つの外側積層部のそれぞれと束ねて接合する(S106)。   Next, as a bonding part bonding step, the two bonding parts 122 and 123 are bundled and bonded to each of the two outer laminated parts (S106).

つまり、上述の通り、図6〜図8に示したように、接合部122、123を、第一正極積層部141及び第四正極積層部152のそれぞれと束ねて接合する。また、同様にして、負極集電体130の接合部132、133についても、第一負極積層部143及び第四負極積層部154のそれぞれと束ねて接合する。   That is, as described above, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8, the bonding portions 122 and 123 are bundled and bonded to the first positive electrode stacked portion 141 and the fourth positive electrode stacked portion 152, respectively. Similarly, the joint portions 132 and 133 of the negative electrode current collector 130 are also bundled and joined to the first negative electrode laminate portion 143 and the fourth negative electrode laminate portion 154, respectively.

次に、内側積層部接合工程として、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に含まれる複数の積層部のうちの2つの外側積層部と異なる積層部である内側積層部のうち、異なる電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に含まれる2つの隣り合う内側積層部同士を束ねて接合する(S108)。   Next, as the inner laminated portion joining step, different electrodes among the inner laminated portions that are different from the two outer laminated portions of the plurality of laminated portions included in the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. The two adjacent inner laminated portions included in the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are the bodies are bundled and joined (S108).

つまり、上述の通り、図6〜図8に示したように、第二正極積層部142と第三正極積層部151とを束ねて接合する。また、同様にして、第二負極積層部144と第三負極積層部153とを束ねて接合する。   That is, as described above, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the second positive electrode laminate portion 142 and the third positive electrode laminate portion 151 are bundled and joined. Similarly, the second negative electrode laminate portion 144 and the third negative electrode laminate portion 153 are bundled and joined.

なお、この内側積層部接合工程を行う順番は、接合部接合工程の後には限定されず、集電体形成工程の前、集電体形成工程と接合部配置工程との間、接合部配置工程と接合部接合工程との間など、どのような順番で内側積層部接合工程を行ってもかまわない。   Note that the order of performing the inner laminated portion joining step is not limited after the joining portion joining step, and before the current collector forming step, between the current collector forming step and the joining portion placing step, the joining portion placing step. The inner laminated portion joining step may be performed in any order, for example, between and the joining portion joining step.

以上のように、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電素子10によれば、複数の積層部を有する複数の電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150を備えており、正極集電体120及び負極集電体130は、複数の電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が有する複数の積層部のうち両端に配置される2つの積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合される2つの接合部を有している。つまり、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が有する複数の積層部のうちの1つの積層部に1つの接合部が接合される。ここで、接合部を電極体が有する複数の積層部と接合させる場合には、非常に多くの枚数の金属箔と接合部とを束ねて接合する必要があるが、1つの積層部と接合させるので、少ない枚数の金属箔(本実施の形態では40枚以下の金属箔)と接合部とを束ねて接合すればよい。このため、蓄電素子10において、容易に、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に正極集電体120及び負極集電体130を接続することができる。   As described above, according to the electric storage element 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are a plurality of electrode bodies having a plurality of stacked portions are provided. The electric current body 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 are bundled with each of two laminated portions arranged at both ends among the plural laminated portions of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are a plurality of electrode bodies. Have two joint portions to be joined together. That is, one joining part is joined to one laminated part of the several laminated parts which the 1st electrode body 140 and the 2nd electrode body 150 have. Here, in the case where the bonding portion is bonded to a plurality of stacked portions included in the electrode body, it is necessary to bundle and bond a very large number of metal foils and the bonded portions, but the bonded portion is bonded to one stacked portion. Therefore, a small number of metal foils (40 or less metal foils in the present embodiment) and the joining portion may be bundled and joined. For this reason, in the electrical storage element 10, the positive electrode current collector 120 and the negative electrode current collector 130 can be easily connected to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150.

また、接合部と接合される金属箔の枚数を減らすことで、接合に必要な電極体の活物質層非形成部の幅(例えば図8に示された第一正極積層部141及び第一負極積層部143のX軸方向の長さ)を狭くすることができる。このため、電極体の活物質層の塗工部(例えば図8に示された第一電極体140の第一正極積層部141及び第一負極積層部143を除くX軸方向の長さ)を広くすることができる。これにより、電極体の電極面積を大きくすることができるため、蓄電素子10の内部抵抗を低減し、容量を増加させることができる。   Further, by reducing the number of metal foils to be joined to the joining portion, the width of the active material layer non-formation portion of the electrode body necessary for joining (for example, the first positive electrode laminate portion 141 and the first negative electrode shown in FIG. 8). The length of the stacked portion 143 in the X-axis direction) can be reduced. For this reason, the coating part of the active material layer of the electrode body (for example, the length in the X-axis direction excluding the first positive electrode lamination part 141 and the first negative electrode lamination part 143 of the first electrode body 140 shown in FIG. 8) is used. Can be wide. Thereby, since the electrode area of an electrode body can be enlarged, the internal resistance of the electrical storage element 10 can be reduced and a capacity | capacitance can be increased.

また、正極集電体120の2つの接合部122、123は、端子接続部121の対向する両側面部から垂れ下がるように配置されている。つまり、正極集電体120は、平板状の部材を折り曲げたような簡単な形状であるため、容易に正極集電体120を製造することができる。負極集電体130についても同様である。   In addition, the two joint portions 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 are disposed so as to hang down from opposite side surface portions of the terminal connection portion 121. That is, since the positive electrode current collector 120 has a simple shape such as a flat plate member bent, the positive electrode current collector 120 can be easily manufactured. The same applies to the negative electrode current collector 130.

また、正極集電体120の2つの接合部122、123は、端子接続部121から捻られることなく折り曲げられて形成されているため、捻り部分と電極体との干渉を回避するような必要がない。つまり、捻りによって正極集電体120を製造した場合には、捻り部分が電極体と干渉するのを避けるために、電極体の積層部をフォーミング加工する必要があるが、蓄電素子10においては、正極集電体120は捻られることなく製造されているため、当該積層部をフォーミング加工する必要がない。このため、蓄電素子10において、容易に、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に正極集電体120を接続することができる。負極集電体130についても同様である。   In addition, since the two joint portions 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 are formed without being twisted from the terminal connection portion 121, it is necessary to avoid interference between the twisted portion and the electrode body. Absent. That is, when the positive electrode current collector 120 is manufactured by twisting, it is necessary to form the laminated portion of the electrode body in order to avoid the twisted portion from interfering with the electrode body. Since the positive electrode current collector 120 is manufactured without being twisted, there is no need to form the laminated portion. For this reason, in the electrical storage element 10, the positive electrode current collector 120 can be easily connected to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. The same applies to the negative electrode current collector 130.

また、正極集電体120の2つの接合部122、123のそれぞれを両端の積層部に接合させればよいので、外側から溶接作業を行うことができ、容易に、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の積層部に正極集電体120の接合部122、123を接合させることができる。負極集電体130についても同様である。   Further, since each of the two joint portions 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 may be joined to the laminated portions at both ends, welding work can be performed from the outside, and the first electrode body 140 and the first The joining portions 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 can be joined to the stacked portion of the two-electrode body 150. The same applies to the negative electrode current collector 130.

また、隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に含まれる内側積層部同士が束ねられて接合されているため、当該隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150間の隙間を塞ぐことができている。ここで、隣り合う電極体間に隙間が生じている場合には、例えば超音波溶接で積層部に接合部を接合する際に、金属箔の粉塵等の異物が当該隙間に入り込むおそれがある。特に負極側から正極側に粉塵が移動(銅片がアルミ側へ移動)した場合には、蓄電素子10の容量低下が生じるおそれがある。このため、蓄電素子10においては、隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150間の隙間を塞いでいるため、金属箔の粉塵等の異物が移動するのを抑制し、容量低下の防止を図ることができる。また、隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の内側積層部同士を束ねることで、当該隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150同士の電気的均衡を保つこともできる。   In addition, since the inner laminated portions included in the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 that are adjacent electrode bodies are bundled and joined, the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body that are adjacent electrode bodies are connected. A gap between the two electrode bodies 150 can be closed. Here, in the case where a gap is generated between adjacent electrode bodies, for example, when joining the joined portion to the laminated portion by ultrasonic welding, there is a possibility that foreign matters such as metal foil dust enter the gap. In particular, when dust moves from the negative electrode side to the positive electrode side (the copper piece moves to the aluminum side), the capacity of the electricity storage element 10 may be reduced. For this reason, in the electrical storage element 10, since the gap between the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are adjacent electrode bodies is closed, it is possible to suppress the movement of foreign matters such as dust on the metal foil, It is possible to prevent a decrease in capacity. Further, by bundling the inner laminated portions of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are adjacent electrode bodies, the electric power between the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are the adjacent electrode bodies is bundled. It is also possible to maintain an equilibrium.

また、2つの内側積層部を、超音波溶接、抵抗溶接などの溶接やかしめを利用することで、容易に接合することができる。   Further, the two inner laminated portions can be easily joined by utilizing welding such as ultrasonic welding and resistance welding or caulking.

また、複数の電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150は巻回型の電極体であるため、それぞれの第一電極体140及び第二電極体150は、電極を巻回することにより、容易に、2つの積層部を形成することができる。   Moreover, since the 1st electrode body 140 and the 2nd electrode body 150 which are several electrode bodies are winding type electrode bodies, each 1st electrode body 140 and the 2nd electrode body 150 wind an electrode. Thus, two stacked portions can be easily formed.

また、蓄電素子10が2つの電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150を備えている場合には、2つの接合部122、123は、外側の2つの積層部のそれぞれと束ねられて接合されており、内側の積層部同士も束ねられて接合されている。このように、容易に、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150と正極集電体120との接合を行うことができる。負極集電体130についても同様である。   Further, when the power storage element 10 includes the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are two electrode bodies, the two joint portions 122 and 123 are bundled with each of the two outer stacked portions. And the inner laminated parts are also bundled and joined. In this way, the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 and the positive electrode current collector 120 can be easily joined. The same applies to the negative electrode current collector 130.

また、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電素子10の製造方法によれば、複数の電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が有する複数の積層部のうち両端の2つの積層部のそれぞれに、正極集電体120の2つの接合部122、123を隣接して配置し、当該2つの接合部122、123を当該2つの積層部のそれぞれと束ねて接合する。つまり、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150が有する複数の積層部のうちの1つの積層部に1つの接合部が接合されるので、少ない枚数の金属箔と接合部とを束ねて接合すればよい。このため、蓄電素子10の製造方法において、容易に、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の積層部に正極集電体120の接合部122、123を接続することができる。負極集電体130についても同様である。   In addition, according to the method for manufacturing power storage device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, two stacked layers at both ends among the stacked portions of first electrode body 140 and second electrode body 150 that are a plurality of electrode bodies. Two joint portions 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 are disposed adjacent to each of the portions, and the two joint portions 122 and 123 are bundled and joined to each of the two stacked portions. That is, since one joining portion is joined to one laminated portion of the plurality of laminated portions of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150, a small number of metal foils and joining portions are bundled and joined. do it. For this reason, in the manufacturing method of the electrical storage element 10, the joining parts 122 and 123 of the positive electrode current collector 120 can be easily connected to the laminated part of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. The same applies to the negative electrode current collector 130.

また、蓄電素子10の製造方法において、端子接続部121から2つの接合部122、123を捻ることなく折り曲げて正極集電体120を形成する。つまり、正極集電体120は、平板状の部材を折り曲げたような簡単な形状であるため、容易に正極集電体120を製造することができる。また、正極集電体120を捻ることなく形成するため、捻り部分と電極体との干渉を回避するために積層部をフォーミング加工するというような必要がない。このため、蓄電素子10の製造方法において、容易に、第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に正極集電体120を接続することができる。負極集電体130についても同様である。   Further, in the method for manufacturing the energy storage device 10, the positive electrode current collector 120 is formed by bending the two joint portions 122 and 123 without twisting from the terminal connection portion 121. That is, since the positive electrode current collector 120 has a simple shape such as a flat plate member bent, the positive electrode current collector 120 can be easily manufactured. Further, since the positive electrode current collector 120 is formed without being twisted, it is not necessary to form the laminated portion in order to avoid interference between the twisted portion and the electrode body. For this reason, in the manufacturing method of the electrical storage element 10, the positive electrode current collector 120 can be easily connected to the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150. The same applies to the negative electrode current collector 130.

また、蓄電素子10の製造方法において、隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150に含まれる内側積層部同士を束ねて接合する。このため、蓄電素子10の製造方法においては、隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150間の隙間を塞いでいるため、金属箔の粉塵等の異物が移動するのを抑制し、容量低下の防止を図ることができる。また、隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150の内側積層部同士を束ねることで、当該隣り合う電極体である第一電極体140及び第二電極体150同士の電気的均衡を保つこともできる。   Moreover, in the manufacturing method of the electrical storage element 10, the inner side laminated parts contained in the 1st electrode body 140 and the 2nd electrode body 150 which are adjacent electrode bodies are bundled and joined. For this reason, in the manufacturing method of the electrical storage element 10, since the gap between the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150, which are adjacent electrode bodies, is blocked, foreign matters such as metal foil dust move. It can suppress and can prevent a capacity | capacitance fall. Further, by bundling the inner laminated portions of the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are adjacent electrode bodies, the electric power between the first electrode body 140 and the second electrode body 150 which are the adjacent electrode bodies is bundled. It is also possible to maintain an equilibrium.
