Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、リチウム電池、ニッケルカドニウム電池、ニッケル水素電池などの二次電池を複数本併設し、これらを互いに並列若しくは直列に接続してなる組電池に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に二次電池からなる組電池においては、充放電時に各二次電池が発熱し、温度上昇によって二次電池の容量が変化することになるが、組電池の場合、各二次電池の温度はその位置によって異なり、例えば周囲を他の電池で包囲された内側の電池は、外側の電池よりも高温となる。この様に温度が相違することによって、各電池の容量にバラツキが生じると、これらの電池を直列に接続した場合、容量が最も少ない電池が消耗すると、その時点で他の電池の容量が未だ残存していたとしても、組電池としての出力は零となる。
特に、リチウム電池においては、−20℃〜60℃の範囲で放電容量に大きなバラツキが生じるため、上述の問題は大きなものとなる。
【0003】
そこで従来は、図6に示す如く筐体(1)の内部に、複数の二次電池(2a)(2b)を相互間に空間を設けて配備し、内側の二次電池(2b)の放熱性を改善することにより、外側の二次電池(2a)と内側の二次電池(2b)の温度差を出来るだけ小さくする工夫が為されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、図6の如く二次電池相互間に空間を設けることによって組電池全体が大型化するばかりでなく、依然として内側の二次電池(2b)は放熱性が悪いため、外側の二次電池(2a)よりも高温となり、上記の問題は解消されない。
そこで本発明の目的は、各二次電池の温度を従来よりも均一化することが可能な組電池を提供することである。
【0005】
【課題を解決する為の手段】
本発明は、少なくとも1本の二次電池(2)が他の二次電池(2)との位置関係によって他の二次電池(2)とは放熱性が異なる組電池において、前記複数本の二次電池(2)が、正負一対の電流取出し端子とは電気的に絶縁された部分を互いに接触させて配備されていることを特徴とする。
上記本発明に係る組電池においては、複数本の二次電池(2)が互いに接触しているため、二次電池相互間で熱伝導が生じ、これによって各二次電池の温度が均一化される。
【0006】
具体的構成において、各二次電池(2)は、正負一対の電流取出し端子とは電気的に絶縁された円筒状の電池缶(21)を有し、該電池缶(21)の外周面には、他の二次電池(2)と接触すべき平坦な接触面(22)が形成されている。該接触面(22)は、例えば電池缶(21)の外周面を平面研磨して形成することが出来る。
該具体的構成によれば、二次電池相互間の接触面積が大きくなって、大きな熱伝導量が得られ、各二次電池の温度が効率的に均一化される。
【0007】
本発明に係る他の組電池において、各二次電池(2)は、正負一対の電流取出し端子とは電気的に絶縁された円筒状の電池缶(21)を有し、該電池缶(21)の外周面には、他の二次電池(2)の電池缶(21)と接触すべき平坦な接触面(22)が形成され、前記複数本の二次電池(2)は接触面(22)を互いに接触させて配備されている。
上記本発明に係る組電池によれば、二次電池相互間に大きな接触面積が得られ、各二次電池の温度が効率的に均一化される。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る組電池によれば、各二次電池の温度を従来よりも均一化することが可能である。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明をリチウム二次電池の組電池に実施した形態につき、図面に沿って具体的に説明する。
本発明に係る組電池は、図1に示す如く、筐体(1)の内部に複数本の二次電池(2)を併設し、これらの二次電池(2)を複数の連結電極(4)によって互いに直列に接続して構成されている。電気的に両端の二次電池(2)(2)にはそれぞれ正電極片(5)及び負電極片(6)が連結されており、両電極片(5)(6)から出力電流を取り出すことが出来る。
各二次電池(2)は、電流取出し端子とは電気的に絶縁された金属製の円筒状電池缶(21)を具えている。
【0011】
上記複数本の二次電池(2)は、図2に示す如く前記電池缶どうしが互いに直接に接触しており、これによって、内側の二次電池(2b)と外側の二次電池(2a)の温度の均一化が図られている。
【0012】
温度の均一化を更に効率的なものとするためには、図3(a)に示す様に、各二次電池(2)の電池缶(21)の外周面を研磨して、平坦な接触面(22)を形成することが有効である。例えば、外径が60mm、肉厚が2mmの電池缶(21)の場合、0.75mmの深さtまで平面研磨を施すことによって、幅Bが約13mmの接触面(22)が形成されることになる。
従って、図3(b)の如く隣接する二次電池(2)(2)の電池缶(21)(21)の接触面(22)(22)どうしを互いに接触させることによって、両二次電池(2)(2)間に大きな熱伝導面積を形成することが出来、この結果、両二次電池(2)(2)の温度を均一化することが可能である。
【0014】
更に、図4に示す如く外周面に平面部を有する断面長円状の二次電池(2)からなる組電池においては、前記平面部を互いに接触させて二次電池を配備することにより、二次電池間に大きな熱伝導面積を形成することが出来、これによって、各二次電池(2)の温度を均一化することが出来る。

正極としては、LiCoO2、LiNiO2、LiMn24等の金属酸化物、及びこれらの複合酸化物が好適である。
電解質としては、リチウムイオンなどの金属イオンを含むLiPF6、LiClO4、LiCF3SO3等の電解質が例示される。又、電解液の有機溶媒としては、エチレンカーボネート、ジエチルカーボネート、ジメトキシエタン、スルホランなどを単独で或いは混合して用いることが出来る。電解液は、これら溶媒に前記電解質を0.7〜1.5mol/l程度の割合で溶かした溶液が例示される。

【0017】
負極の作製
炭素塊(d002=3.356Å;Lc>1000Å)に空気流を噴射して粉砕し、これをふるいにかけて、平均粒子径10μmの炭素粉末を作製した。又、結着剤であるポリフッ化ビニリデンをNMPに溶解させてNMP溶液を調製し、炭素粉末とポリフッ化ビニリデンの重量比が85:15となる様に混練してスラリーを調製した。このスラリーを負極集電体としての銅箔の両面にドクターブレード法によって塗布し、150℃で2時間真空乾燥して負極を作製した。

尚、電池缶(21)は、ポリプロピレン製パッキンによって両電流取出し端子(28)(29)とは電気的に絶縁されている。
【0020】

[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in an assembled battery composed of secondary batteries, each secondary battery generates heat during charging and discharging, and the capacity of the secondary battery changes due to temperature rise. In the case of an assembled battery, the temperature of each secondary battery is Depending on the position, for example, the inner battery surrounded by other batteries has a higher temperature than the outer battery. If the capacity of each battery varies due to the difference in temperature in this way, when these batteries are connected in series, when the battery with the smallest capacity is consumed, the capacity of other batteries still remains at that time. Even if it does, the output as an assembled battery becomes zero.

In the plurality of secondary batteries (2), as shown in FIG. 2, the battery cans are in direct contact with each other, whereby the inner secondary battery (2b) and the outer secondary battery (2a) The temperature is made uniform.
[0012]
In order to make the temperature uniform even more efficient, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the outer peripheral surface of the battery can (21) of each secondary battery (2) is polished to make a flat contact. It is effective to form the surface (22). For example, in the case of a battery can (21) having an outer diameter of 60 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm, a contact surface (22) having a width B of about 13 mm is formed by performing surface polishing to a depth t of 0.75 mm.

Next, polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder was dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to prepare an NMP solution. Then, the positive electrode mixture and the NMP solution are mixed so that the weight ratio of the positive electrode mixture and polyvinylidene fluoride is 95: 5 to prepare a slurry, and this slurry is formed on both surfaces of the aluminum foil as the positive electrode current collector.

Further, polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder was dissolved in NMP to prepare an NMP solution, and kneaded so that the weight ratio of the carbon powder and polyvinylidene fluoride was 85:15 to prepare a slurry. This slurry was applied to both surfaces of a copper foil as a negative electrode current collector by a doctor blade method, and vacuum dried at 150 ° C. for 2 hours to produce a negative electrode.

Moreover, the charge / discharge cycle was repeated about each assembled battery, and the discharge capacity after 500 cycles was investigated. Furthermore, the cycle deterioration rate was defined as the following formula 1, and the cycle deterioration rate after 500 cycles was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0022]
[Expression 1]
Cycle degradation rate (% / cycle) = (A / B) / number of cycles × 100
