JP 2013-191467 A

  In the electric storage element described in Patent Document 1, at least one of the two separators is welded and fixed to the winding core, that is, the shaft core disposed at the center of the electrode body. However, secondary batteries including lithium ion secondary batteries have been proposed in which a secondary battery including a wound electrode body having no shaft core has been proposed to meet the increasing demand for higher capacity. For example, a wound electrode body having no shaft core is formed by winding a electrode and a separator around a winding core of a winding device for winding the electrode body to form a wound electrode body. It can be manufactured by removing the winding core of the winding device from the center.

  However, when the winding core of the winding device is removed from the wound electrode body, a frictional force acts between the winding core and the innermost separator of the wound electrode body, and the electrode of the wound electrode body and the separator There is a risk of winding deviation in the winding direction in the winding core, that is, in the winding axis direction of the wound electrode body. Such winding deviation of the wound electrode body is caused by a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode or by joining the metal foil of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the current collector plate at both ends in the winding axis direction of the electrode body. There is a risk that the reliability of the secondary battery may be reduced due to a cause of poor bonding.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and prevents winding of the wound electrode body when the winding core is pulled out from the wound electrode body wound around the winding core of the winding device. An object is to provide a rechargeable battery.

  In order to achieve the above object, the secondary battery of the present invention is a secondary battery comprising a wound electrode body wound around a winding axis with a separator interposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, The wound electrode body has an inorganic layer on the inner circumferential surface of the separator wound on the innermost circumference.

  According to the secondary battery of the present invention, when an electrode or the like is wound using the rotation center axis of the winding core of the winding device as the winding axis, and the winding core is removed to form the wound electrode body, the inorganic material layer is used for winding. The frictional force between the wound electrode body and the winding core can be reduced, and the winding displacement of the wound electrode body can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and a bonding failure between the positive electrode and the negative electrode at both ends in the winding axis direction of the wound electrode body, thereby improving the reliability of the secondary battery. it can.

It has a flat-plate-like core 201a for winding. The spindle 201 and the core 201a can be made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy or stainless steel, for example.

  The material supply unit 202 includes support rollers 202a to 202d, feed rollers 202e to 202h, and cutters 202i to 202l. Each of the support rollers 202a to 202d is rotatably provided to support the long strip-shaped negative electrode 32, the separator 33, the positive electrode 31, and the separator 34 wound in a roll shape. The feed rollers 202e to 202h feed the end portions of the respective materials from the rolls of the respective materials and supply them to the spindle 201. The cutters 202i to 202l cut the respective materials after the winding of the respective materials of the wound electrode body 30 by the spindle 201, and stop the supply of the respective materials.

  The tape sticking part 203 has a tape support part 203a, a tape supply part 203b, a tape pressing part 203c, and a tape cutter 203d. The tape support part 203a rotatably supports a long strip-shaped adhesive tape wound in a roll shape. The tape supply unit 203b feeds the end of the roll-shaped adhesive tape after the winding of each material of the wound electrode body 30 by the spindle 201 is completed and the supply of each material by the material supply unit 202 is stopped. Then, an adhesive tape to be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the wound electrode body 30 is supplied.

  The tape pressing unit 203c presses and adheres the adhesive tape supplied by the tape supply unit 203b to the end portions of the separators 33 and 34 wound around the outermost periphery of the wound electrode body 30. The tape cutter 203d cuts the adhesive tape attached to the end portions of the separators 33 and 34 by the tape pressing portion 203c into a predetermined length. As a result, the terminal portions of the outermost separators 33 and 34 of the wound electrode body 30 are fixed to the outermost separator 34 of the wound electrode body 30 by the adhesive tape, and each material of the wound electrode body 30 is unwound. It is prevented.

  The welding part 204 has a heater head 204a and a heater moving mechanism 204b. The heater moving mechanism 204b moves the heater head 204a and presses the heater head 204a against, for example, the separators 33 and 34 wound around the core 201a of the spindle 201. The heater head 204a heats the separators 33 and 34 and welds the stacked portions of the separators 33 and 34 wound around the core 201a. Note that the welded portion 204 may be replaced with the tape applying portion 203 described above, and the separators 33 and 34 may be fixed with an adhesive tape.

  For example, when the materials wound around the core 201a of the spindle 201 are cut, or when the separators 33 and 34 are fixed by adhesive tape or heat welding, the temporary pressing portion 205 cannot unwind the materials of the wound electrode body 30. As described above, each material is temporarily pressed and held on the core 201a.

As the binder containing an inorganic or organic oxide, for example, an acrylic-based, polyolefin-based, fluororesin-based, or SBR-based resin material can be used. The fillers of the inorganic layers 33a and 34a are not particularly limited as long as they are fine particles having heat resistance and insulating properties.

An inorganic layer is not formed on the negative electrode side surface 34n of the first separator 34, and the base material layer 34b is exposed. The second separator 33 has a negative electrode side surface 33n facing the outer surface 32e of the negative electrode 32, and a positive electrode side surface 33p on which an inorganic layer 33a facing the inner surface 31i of the positive electrode 31 is formed. . An inorganic layer is not formed on the negative electrode side surface 33n of the second separator 33, and the base material layer 33b is exposed.

  Next, a process of forming the wound electrode body 30 by winding the positive electrode 31 and the negative electrode 32 around the winding axis A with the separators 33 and 34 interposed therebetween will be described.

  First, the first separator 34 is supplied from the material supply unit 202 of the winding device 200 described above to the core 201 a of the spindle 201. At this time, the first separator 34 is disposed so that the positive electrode side surface 34p facing the inner peripheral side when wound is opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the core 201a. Thereby, the inorganic layer 34a formed on the positive electrode side surface 34p of the first separator 34 faces the outer peripheral surface of the core 201a. In this state, the starting end 34s of the first separator 34 is held on the outer peripheral surface of the core 201a, and the spindle 201 is rotated in the rotation direction R.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5A, the center axis of rotation of the winding core 201a is the winding axis A, and the first separator 34 is wound around the winding core 201a over the circumference of the winding axis A over one turn or more. To do. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the first separator 34 is wound only once around the core 201a. Thus, the 1st separator 34 is wound by the innermost periphery of the winding electrode body 30, and the inorganic substance layer 34a formed in the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 34i opposes the outer peripheral surface of the winding core 201a. As described above, the first separator 34 extends over one or more rounds on the inner circumferential side from the start end portion 32s of the negative electrode 32 in the winding direction r of the wound electrode body 30 opposite to the rotation direction R of the core 201a. Be beaten.

  Next, the negative electrode 32 and the second separator 33 are supplied from the material supply unit 202 of the winding device 200 to the core 201a of the spindle 201. At this time, in the negative electrode 32, the inner surface 32i facing the inner peripheral side when wound is opposed to the negative electrode side surface 34n that is the outer surface of the first separator 34 wound around the winding core 201a. The outer surface 32e facing the outer peripheral side is disposed so as to face the negative electrode side surface 33n which is the inner surface of the second separator 33. Thereby, the start end portion 32 s of the negative electrode 32 is disposed between the negative electrode side surface 34 n of the first separator 34 and the negative electrode side surface 33 n of the second separator 33.

  The second separator 33 is disposed such that the negative electrode side surface 33n facing the inner peripheral side when wound is opposed to the outer surface 32e of the negative electrode 32 disposed on the inner peripheral side. Thereby, the start end portion 33s of the second separator 33 is disposed between the outer surface 32e of the negative electrode 32 and the positive electrode side surface 34p of the first separator 34 wound around the core 201a. In this state, the starting end portion 32s of the negative electrode 32 and the starting end portion 33s of the second separator 33 are connected to the negative electrode side surface 34n of the first separator 34 wound around the winding core 201a and the winding core 201a. It arrange | positions so that it may pinch | interpose between the positive electrode side surface 34p of the 1st separator 34 to rotate. Then, the spindle 201 is rotated in the rotation direction R.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5B, the negative electrode 32, the second separator 33, and the first separator 34 are wound around the winding core 201a over one turn around the winding axis A. . In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the negative electrode 32, the second separator 33, and the first separator 34 are wound only once around the core 201a. In this way, the start end portion 32 s of the negative electrode 32 is arranged on the inner peripheral side in the winding direction r with respect to the start end portion 31 s of the positive electrode 31. Further, the negative electrode 32 is wound around the winding core 201a on the inner peripheral side in the winding direction r from the start end portion 31s of the positive electrode 31 over one turn or more.

  Next, the positive electrode 31 is supplied from the material supply unit 202 of the winding device 200 to the core 201a of the spindle 201. At this time, the positive electrode 31 has an inner surface 31i facing the inner peripheral side when wound in opposition to the positive electrode side surface 33p of the second separator 33, and an outer surface 31e facing the outer peripheral side during winding is the first separator 34. It arrange | positions so that it may oppose the positive electrode side surface 34p. In this state, the start end 31 s of the positive electrode 31 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the first separator 34 and the second separator 33, and the spindle 201 is rotated in the rotation direction R.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, the negative electrode 32, the second separator 33, the positive electrode 31, and the first separator 34 are wound around the winding core 201a over a plurality of circumferences around the winding axis A. The wound electrode body 30 can be configured by winding. More specifically, at the outermost peripheral portion of the wound electrode body 30, the positive electrode 31 is cut by the cutter 202k of the winding device 200 described above to finish winding of the positive electrode 31, and then the separators 33 and 34 are interposed. Thus, the negative electrode 32 can be wound around the winding core 201a over one turn or more.

  Further, after the negative electrode 32 is cut by the cutter 202i of the winding device 200 and the winding of the negative electrode 32 is completed, the separators 33 and 34 can be wound around the core 201a over one turn or more. . Thereafter, the separators 33 and 34 are cut by the cutters 202j and 202l of the winding device 200, and the winding of the separators 33 and 34 is finished. At this time, an adhesive tape is applied to the end portions of the separators 33 and 34 by the tape applying portion 203 of the winding device 200, and the end portions of the separators 33 and 34 are fixed to the outermost separator 34 of the wound electrode body 30. be able to.

  Finally, the winding core 201a is extracted from the winding electrode body 30 wound around the winding core 201a of the winding device 200, and the winding electrode body 30 having no axial core is obtained. At this time, stress such as a frictional force acting between the outer peripheral surface of the winding core 201a and the separator 34 wound around the innermost periphery of the wound electrode body 30 and facing the outer peripheral surface of the winding core 201a becomes a problem. Become.

  In the conventional secondary battery, when the winding core of the winding device is removed from the wound electrode body, a stress such as a frictional force acts between the winding core and the innermost separator of the wound electrode body. There is a possibility that a winding deviation in the winding-out direction of the winding core, that is, the winding axis direction of the wound electrode body may occur between the electrode of the rotating electrode body and the separator. Such winding deviation of the wound electrode body is caused by a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode or by joining the metal foil of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the current collector plate at both ends in the winding axis direction of the electrode body. There is a risk that the reliability of the secondary battery may be reduced due to a cause of poor bonding.

  On the other hand, as described above, the secondary battery 100 of the present embodiment is a wound electrode body in which the positive electrode 31 and the negative electrode 32 are wound around the winding axis A with the separators 33 and 34 interposed therebetween. 30, the wound electrode body 30 has an inorganic layer 34 a on the inner peripheral surface 34 i of the separator 34 wound on the innermost periphery. The inorganic layer 34a of the separator 34 has, for example, higher hardness, a smaller surface area, and a smooth surface compared to the base material layer 34b. Further, the inorganic layer 34a of the separator 34 has, for example, a smaller contact area, less catching, slip resistance and friction resistance with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the core 201a of the winding device 200 than the base material layer 34b. small.

Thereby, winding deviation of the wound electrode body 30 in the winding axis A direction can be prevented, and a short circuit between the positive electrode 31 and the negative electrode 32 or the winding electrode body 30 in the winding axis A direction can be prevented. Bonding failure between the positive electrode 31 and the negative electrode 32 at both ends can be prevented. Therefore, the reliability of the secondary battery 100 can be improved.

  In addition, the secondary battery 100 of the present embodiment includes the first separator 34 and the second separator 33 as the separators 33 and 34 of the wound electrode body 30. The first separator 34 includes an inner peripheral surface 34 i facing the core 201 a, a positive electrode side surface 34 p on which an inorganic layer 34 a facing the outer surface 31 e of the positive electrode 31 is formed, and an inner surface 32 i of the negative electrode 32. And a negative electrode side surface 32n. Further, the second separator 33 has a negative electrode side surface 32n facing the outer surface 32e of the negative electrode 32 and a positive electrode side surface 33p on which an inorganic layer 33a facing the inner surface 31i of the positive electrode 31 is formed. ing.

  As a result, the positive electrode 31 that is likely to be hotter than the negative electrode 32 is placed between the inorganic layer 34 a that functions as the heat-resistant layer of the first separator 34 and the inorganic layer 33 a that functions as the heat-resistant layer of the second separator 33.

It has been wound for more than one lap. As a result, the inorganic layer 34a of the first separator 34 is opposed to the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the core 201a, and stress such as frictional force acting between the wound electrode body 30 and the core 201a is applied. It can reduce more reliably.
