【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、円筒状の電池缶の内部に巻き取り電極体が収容されて、電池缶に取り付けられた電極端子機構から巻き取り電極体の発生電力を取り出すことが可能な円筒型リチウム二次電池に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、携帯型電子機器、電気自動車、ロードレベリング等の電源として、エネルギー密度が高く、然もカドミウムや鉛の如き有害物質を含まないリチウム二次電池が注目されている。
例えば電気自動車に用いられる比較的大きな容量の円筒型リチウム二次電池は、図7及び図8に示す様に、筒体(11)の両端部に蓋体(12)(12)を溶接固定してなる円筒状の電池缶(1)の内部に、巻き取り電極体(2)を収容して構成されている。両蓋体(12)(12)には、正負一対の電極端子機構(9)(9)が取り付けられており、巻き取り電極体(2)と両電極端子機構(9)(9)とが、複数本の集電タブ(3)により互いに連結されて、巻き取り電極体(2)が発生する電力を一対の電極端子機構(9)(9)から外部に取り出すことが可能となっている。又、蓋体(12)には安全弁(13)が取り付けられている。
【0003】
巻き取り電極体(2)は、図9に示す様に、リチウム複合酸化物を含む正極(21)と、非水電解液が含浸されたセパレータ(22)と、炭素材料を含む負極(23)とを重ね合わせ、これらを渦巻き状に巻回して構成されている。正極(21)及び負極(23)からは夫々複数本の集電タブ(3)が引き出され、極性が同じ複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)が1つの電極端子機構(9)に接続されている。尚、図9においては、便宜上、一部の集電タブの先端部が電極端子機構(9)に接続されている状態のみを示し、他の集電タブについては、先端部が電極端子機構(9)に接続されている状態の図示を省略している。
電極端子機構(9)は、電池缶(1)の蓋体(12)を貫通して取り付けられたネジ部材(91)を具え、該ネジ部材(91)の基端部には鍔部(92)が形成されている。蓋体(12)の貫通孔には絶縁パッキング(93)が装着され、蓋体(12)と締結部材(91)の間の電気的絶縁性とシール性が保たれている。ネジ部材(91)には、筒体(11)の外側からワッシャ(94)が嵌められると共に、第1ナット(95)及び第2ナット(96)が螺合している。これらのナット(95)(96)を締め付けて、ネジ部材(91)の鍔部(92)とワッシャ(94)によって絶縁パッキング(93)を挟圧することにより、シール性を高めている。
前記複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)は、ネジ部材(91)の鍔部(92)に、スポット溶接或いは超音波溶接によって固定されている。
【0004】
上記円筒型リチウム二次電池の製造工程においては、電池缶(1)を構成すべき蓋体(12)に電極端子機構(9)を取り付ける一方、筒体(11)の内部に巻き取り電極体(2)を装入した状態で、巻き取り電極体(2)から伸びる複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)を電極端子機構(9)の鍔部(92)に溶接し、最後に、蓋体(12)を筒体(11)の開口部に被せて、両者を溶接固定していた。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、円筒型リチウム二次電池において、大容量化を図る場合、集電タブ(3)の本数が少ないと、電気抵抗が増大して電池性能が低下するため、例えば10本以上の多数本の集電タブ(3)によって、巻き取り電極体(2)と電極端子機構(9)を接続する必要がある。
【0006】
しかしながら、複数本の集電タブ(3)を鍔部(92)に溶接する作業は困難であり、少なくとも数十分の作業時間を要する。
又、集電タブ(3)は、厚さ0.1mm程度のアルミニウム製或いはニッケル製の箔体から形成されているため、溶接箇所が溶融して孔があくことがあり、この結果、集電タブ(3)の接続強度が著しく低下する問題があった。孔があくことなく正常な溶接が行なわれた場合でも、集電タブ(3)と鍔部(92)の溶接部分の面積は極めて小さいため、大きな接続強度は得られない。
然も、集電タブ(3)と鍔部(92)の溶接部分で電気抵抗が著しく増大するため、抵抗発熱を生じる問題があった。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、集電タブを容易に、然も高い強度と信頼性で電極端子機構に接続することが出来、接続部分における電気抵抗も小さい円筒型リチウム二次電池を提供することである。
【0008】
【課題を解決する為の手段】
本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池は、筒体(11)の開口部に蓋体(12)を固定してなる電池缶(1)を具え、電池缶(1)の内部には、巻き取り電極体(2)が収容されている。巻き取り電極体(2)は、リチウム複合酸化物を含む正極(21)と、非水電解液が含浸されたセパレータ(22)と、炭素材料を含む負極(23)とを重ね合わせて渦巻き状に巻回して構成されている。
又、電池缶(1)の蓋体(12)には電極端子機構(4)が取り付けられ、巻き取り電極体(2)と電極端子機構(4)とが、複数本の集電タブ(3)により互いに連結されて、巻き取り電極体(2)が発生する電力を電極端子機構(4)から外部に取り出すことが可能である。
【0009】
本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池において、電極端子機構(4)は、蓋体(12)に開設した貫通孔(14)に挿通されて、蓋体(12)に対して電気的絶縁性及び液密性を保った状態で蓋体(12)に固定され、蓋体(12)の外側に突出した先端部には、挟圧ナット(54)を具える一方、蓋体(12)の内側に突出した基端部には、前記挟圧ナット(54)のねじ込みによって挟圧力を発揮する挟圧板(51)及び挟圧受け板(6)を具えている。そして、前記複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部が挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持されて、電極端子機構(4)に連結されている。
尚、各集電タブ(3)は、導電性を有する帯状の箔体から形成されている。又、挟圧板(51)及び挟圧受け板(6)は、前記複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部を確実に挟持するために必要な十分な挟圧面積を有している。
【0010】
上記本発明の円筒型リチウム二次電池においては、複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部が挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持されて、電極端子機構(4)に連結されているので、その組立工程において、集電タブ(3)の先端部を電極端子機構(4)に溶接する作業は不要であり、単に、複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部を挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挿入して、挟圧ナット(54)をねじ込めば、これら複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部は挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)によって同時に挟圧され、接続作業が完了する。
複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部が挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持された状態で、各集電タブ(3)の先端部は十分な面積で挟圧板(51)及び挟圧受け板(6)と接触し、この十分な接触面積によって、接続部分における電気抵抗は小さなものとなり、同時に高い接続強度が得られる。
この挟圧による接続構造には、従来の溶接構造は採用されていないので、集電タブ(3)に孔があくことはなく、高い信頼性が得られる。
【0011】
具体的構成において、電極端子機構(4)は、
蓋体(12)に開設した貫通孔(14)に挿通され、蓋体(12)の外側に突出した先端部にネジ部(71)を具えると共に、蓋体(12)の内側に突出した基端部にフランジ部(72)を具えた締結部材(7)と、
締結部材(7)のネジ部(71)に螺合して、締結部材(7)を蓋体(12)に固定するための締結ナット(73)と、
蓋体(12)の貫通孔(14)に装着されて、蓋体(12)と締結部材(7)の間に介在し、締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)と締結ナット(73)によって挟圧され、締結部材(7)と蓋体(12)の間の電気的絶縁性及び液密性を保つ絶縁パッキング(8)(81)と、
締結部材(7)に開設した中央孔(75)に挿通された軸部(50)を具え、蓋体(12)の外側に突出した軸部(50)の先端部には、ネジ部(53)が形成されると共に、蓋体(12)の内側に突出した軸部(50)の基端部には、前記挟圧板(51)が固定されている挟圧部材(5)とを具え、前記挟圧ナット(54)は挟圧部材(5)のネジ部(53)に螺合し、挟圧受け板(6)は挟圧部材(5)の軸部(50)に遊嵌されて、挟圧板(51)と締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)の間に介在している。
【0012】
上記具体的構成においては、筒体(11)に蓋体(12)を固定する前に、蓋体(12)の貫通孔(14)に絶縁パッキング(8)(81)を装着すると共に締結部材(7)を挿通する。これによって、蓋体(12)の外側に、締結部材(7)の先端部に形成されたネジ部(71)が突出する。そこで、該ネジ部(71)に締結ナット(73)を螺合せしめ、締め付ける。これによって、絶縁パッキング(8)(81)が締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)と締結ナット(73)の間に挟まれて、挟圧されると共に、締結部材(7)が蓋体(12)に確実に固定されることになる。この状態で、蓋体(12)と締結部材(7)の間には十分な電気的絶縁性と液密性が保たれている。
その後、挟圧部材(5)の軸部(50)に挟圧受け板(6)を嵌めて、該挟圧部材(5)の軸部(50)を締結部材(7)の中央孔(75)に挿通すると共に、挟圧受け板(6)と挟圧板(51)の間に、巻き取り電極体(2)から伸びる複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部を挟み込む。この状態で、締結部材(7)から外側に突出した挟圧部材(5)のネジ部(53)に挟圧ナット(54)を螺合せしめ、締め付ける。これによって、前記複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部が挟圧部材(5)の挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)によって確実に挟持されることになる。
最後に、蓋体(12)を筒体(11)に固定することによって、円筒型リチウム二次電池を完成する。
【0013】
上述の如く、先ず蓋体(12)に締結部材(7)を固定して、蓋体(12)と締結部材(7)の間に十分な電気的絶縁性と液密性を与える作業の後、該締結部材(7)に挟圧部材(5)を取り付けて、挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部を挟持する作業を行なうので、両作業が分離されており、先の作業で実現した電気的絶縁性と液密性が、後の作業によって変化する虞れはなく、又逆に、後の作業によって実現した集電タブ(3)の接続強度が、その後の締結部材(7)の締め付け力の再調整によって変化する虞れはない。
【0014】
更に具体的構成において、挟圧部材(5)の挟圧板(51)には、巻き取り電極体(2)との対向面に、前記挟圧ナット(54)を締め付ける際の挟圧部材(5)の回り止めに利用すべき角柱片(52)が突設されている。
該具体的構成によれば、工具によって挟圧ナット(54)を締め付ける際、角柱片(52)にも適当な工具を係合させて、挟圧部材(5)の共回りを阻止することが出来るので、挟圧ナット(54)の締め付け作業が容易であり、確実な締め付けを行なうことが出来る。
【0015】
更に具体的構成において、電池缶(1)の内部には、蓋体(12)と絶縁パッキング(8)の対向面間、絶縁パッキング(8)と締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)の対向面間、及び締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)と挟圧受け板(6)の対向面間に夫々、Oリング(82)(83)(84)が介在している。
該具体的構成によれば、蓋体(12)と絶縁パッキング(8)の間、絶縁パッキング(8)と締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)の間、及び締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に、更に高い液密性が得られる。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池においては、複数本の集電タブ(3)を電極端子機構(4)に接続する構造として、挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に各集電タブ(3)の先端部を単に挟持する構造を採用しているので、従来の溶接作業が不要であり、接続作業は容易である。又、接続作業によって集電タブ(3)に孔があくことはなく、然も十分な接触面積で集電タブ(3)を挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持して接続することが出来るので、高い接続強度と高い信頼性が得られる。又、接続部分の電気抵抗は小さく、抵抗発熱の問題は生じない。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態につき、図面に沿って具体的に説明する。
本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池は、図2に示す如く、筒体(11)の両端部に蓋体(12)(12)を溶接固定してなる円筒状の電池缶(1)を具え、両蓋体(12)(12)には、正負一対の電極端子機構(4)(4)が取り付けられている。又、各蓋体(12)には安全弁(13)が取り付けられている。
【0018】
電池缶(1)の内部には、図4に示す巻き取り電極体(2)が収容されている。巻き取り電極体(2)は、リチウム複合酸化物を含む正極(21)と、非水電解液が含浸されたセパレータ(22)と、炭素材料を含む負極(23)とを重ね合わせ、これらを渦巻き状に巻回して構成されている。正極(21)及び負極(23)には夫々、複数本の集電タブ(3)の基端部がスポット溶接等によって接合され、先端部は巻き取り電極体(2)から突出している。
尚、正極(21)に接合された集電タブ(3)はアルミニウム箔から形成され、負極(23)に接合された集電タブ(3)はニッケル箔から形成されている。
【0019】
図2に示す正負一対の電極端子機構(4)(4)の内、正極端子となる一方の電極端子機構(4)に対しては、前記正極(21)から引き出された複数本の集電タブ(3)が接続され、負極端子となる他方の電極端子機構(4)に対しては、前記負極(23)から引き出された複数本の集電タブ(3)が接続される。
これによって、巻き取り電極体(2)が発生する電力を、正負一対の電極端子機構(4)(4)から取り出すことが出来るのである。

図3に示す如く、蓋体(12)には、その中央部に貫通孔(14)、外周部にネジ孔(15)が開設されており、貫通孔(14)には電極端子機構(4)が取り付けられ、ネジ孔(15)には安全弁(13)が取り付けられる。
電極端子機構(4)は、図1乃至図3に示す構造を有している。蓋体(12)の貫通孔(14)には、図1に示す如く、一対の絶縁パッキング(81)(8)が互いに係合した状態で装着される。図3に示す如く下側の絶縁パッキング(8)は円板部(85)及び円筒部(86)から形成される一方、上側の絶縁パッキング(81)はリング状に形成され、互いに係合した状態で、蓋体(12)の貫通孔(14)の内周面及び内周縁に密着可能である。
【0021】
蓋体(12)の貫通孔(14)には、締結部材(7)が蓋体(12)の内側から挿通される。締結部材(7)は、蓋体(12)の外側に突出すべきネジ部(71)を一体に具えると共に、蓋体(12)の内側に突出すべきフランジ部(72)を一体に具えている。
蓋体(12)と絶縁パッキング(8)の円板部(85)の対向面間には大径のOリング(82)が介在し、絶縁パッキング(8)の円板部(85)と締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)の対向面間には小径のOリング(83)が介在する。
蓋体(12)の外側へ突出した締結部材(7)のネジ部(71)には、ワッシャ(61)を介して、第1締結ナット(73)及び第2締結ナット(74)が螺合する。
【0022】
又、締結部材(7)の中央孔(75)には、挟圧部材(5)が蓋体(12)の内側から挿通される。挟圧部材(5)は、締結部材(7)を貫通する軸部(50)を具え、該軸部(50)の先端部には、締結部材(7)から蓋体(12)の外側へ突出するネジ部(53)が形成されている。一方、軸部(50)の基端部には、円形の挟圧板(51)が固定され、更に該挟圧板(51)の背面には、角柱片(52)が一体に突設されている。
挟圧部材(5)の軸部(50)には、円形の挟圧受け板(6)が遊嵌されている。締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)と挟圧受け板(6)の対向面間には、小径のOリング(84)が介在する。
挟圧部材(5)の軸部(50)は挟圧受け板(6)及び締結部材(7)の中央孔(75)を貫通し、締結部材(7)から外側へ突出したネジ部(53)に、挟圧ナット(54)が螺合する。
【0023】
図1に示す様に、巻き取り電極体(2)から伸びる複数本の集電タブ(3)は、その先端部が挟圧部材(5)の挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持されて、電極端子機構(4)に連結されている。尚、図1においては、便宜上、一部の集電タブ(3)のみが電極端子機構(4)に連結されている状態を示し、他の集電タブ(3)については、その先端部の図示を省略しているが、全ての集電タブ(3)の先端部が挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持されて、電極端子機構(4)に連結されている。
ここで、挟圧板(51)及び挟圧受け板(6)は、複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)を確実に挟持するために必要な大きさに形成され、十分な挟圧面積を有している。
【0024】
上記電極端子機構(4)の取り付け及び集電タブ(3)の接続は、図5及び図6に示す順序で行なわれる。
先ず図5(a)に示す様に、第1締結ナット(73)及び第2締結ナット(74)を用いて、一方の蓋体(12)に締結部材(7)を固定する。この際、図1に示す様に、絶縁パッキング(8)(81)が締結部材(7)のフランジ部(72)と第1締結ナット(73)によって挟圧され、十分な液密性が得られるまで、第1締結ナット(73)をねじ込む。
一方、筒体(11)には、図5(b)の如く巻き取り電極体(2)を収容する。
【0025】
その後、同図(c)に示す如く巻き取り電極体(2)から引き出された複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)を、挟圧部材(5)の挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟み込む。この際、各集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)が互いに重なることなく、且つ、出来るだけ大きな接触面積で挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟まれる様、各集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)を配置することが望ましい。
【0026】
この状態で、図1に示す様に、挟圧部材(5)の軸部(50)を、蓋体(12)に固定されている締結部材(7)の中央孔(75)に挿通し、ネジ部(53)に挟圧ナット(54)を螺合せしめて、締め付ける。この際、各集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)が挟圧部材(5)の挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)によって挟圧され、十分な接続強度が得られるまで、挟圧ナット(54)をねじ込む。
この結果、図6(a)に示す様に、筒体(11)と蓋体(12)とが集電タブ(3)を介して互いに連結されることになる。
他方の蓋体(12)についても同様の方法で電極端子機構(4)を固定する。
【0027】
その後、図6(b)の如く、レーザ溶接又はビーム溶接を用いて筒体(11)に両蓋体(12)(12)を接合固定する。
最後に、電池缶(1)の内部に電解液を注入した後、各蓋体(12)に安全弁(13)を取り付けて、電池缶(1)を封口する。
この結果、図1乃至図3に示す円筒型リチウム二次電池が完成する。
【0028】
上述の如く、本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池においては、電極端子機構(4)に集電タブ(3)を接続する工程において、従来の如き溶接作業は不要であり、単に、複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)を挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挿入して、挟圧ナット(54)をねじ込めばよいので、作業が簡易であり、然も集電タブ(3)に孔があくことはなく、高い信頼性が得られる。
又、各集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)は十分な接触面積で挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に挟持されるので、接触部における電気抵抗は小さく、然も高い接続強度が得られる。
【0029】
更に、上記電極端子機構(4)においては、締結部材(7)による締結構造と、挟圧部材(5)による挟圧構造が分離されており、先ず蓋体(12)に締結部材(7)を固定して、蓋体(12)と締結部材(7)の間に十分な電気的絶縁性と液密性を与える作業の後、該締結部材(7)に挟圧部材(5)を取り付けて、挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に複数本の集電タブ(3)の先端部(31)を挟持する作業を行なうことが出来るので、先の作業で実現した電気的絶縁性と液密性が、後の作業によって変化する虞れはなく、又逆に、後の作業によって実現した集電タブ(3)の接続強度が、その後の締結部材(7)の締め付け力の再調整によって変化する虞れはない。
【0030】
更に、挟圧部材(5)の挟圧板(51)には、巻き取り電極体(2)との対向面に、角柱片(52)が一体に突設されているので、工具によって挟圧ナット(54)を締め付ける際、角柱片(52)にも適当な工具を係合させて、挟圧部材(5)の共回りを阻止することが出来、簡易且つ確実な締め付け作業が可能である。
【0031】
更に又、図9に示す従来の円筒型リチウム二次電池では、集電タブ(3)の溶接作業のために、集電タブ(3)は、巻き取り電極体(2)から鍔部(92)までの直線距離よりも大幅に長く形成する必要があり、これによって集電タブ(3)の電気抵抗が大きくなる問題があったが、図1乃至図3に示す本発明の円筒型リチウム二次電池においては、溶接作業が不要であるため、集電タブ(3)を従来よりも短く形成することが出来、これによって電気抵抗の低減を図ることが可能である。
【0032】
【実施例】
次に、本発明の円筒型リチウム二次電池(図1乃至図3)と従来の円筒型リチウム二次電池(図7乃至図9)を試作して性能比較実験を行なった結果について説明する。

【0033】
負極の作製
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、粒子径10μmの黒鉛の炭素粉末(炭素材料)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と調製した。このスラリーを負極集電体としてのニッケル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。
【0034】
電解液の調製
エチレンカーボネートとジエルチルカーボネートを体積比1:1で混合した溶媒に、LiPF6を1mol/lの割合で溶解し、電解液を調製した。
【0035】
本発明電池の組立
正極を構成しているアルミニウム箔の表面に、厚さ0.1mmのアルミニウム製集電タブを10本、一定間隔をおいて溶接すると共に、負極を構成しているニッケル箔の表面に、厚さ0.1mmのニッケル製集電タブを10本、一定間隔をおいて溶接する。そして、正極と負極の間にセパレータを挟んで渦巻き状に巻回し、巻き取り電極体を構成する。尚、セパレータとしては、イオン透過性のポリエチレン製の微多孔性膜を用いた。
この巻き取り電極体を電池缶となる筒体の内部に装填し、該巻き取り電極体から伸びる正側及び負側の集電タブを夫々、蓋体に取り付けられた本発明の電極端子機構の挟圧板と挟圧受け板の間に挟持して接続した後、該蓋体を筒体に溶接固定して、本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池(本発明電池)を完成した。
尚、電池缶は、直径60mm、高さ180mmのものを採用した。電池電圧は3.6V、電池容量は30Ah(1/8C放電)であった。
【0036】
比較例電池の組立
本発明電池と同様に作製した巻き取り電極体を筒体の内部に装填し、該巻き取り電極体から伸びる正側及び負側の集電タブを夫々、蓋体に取り付けられた従来の電極端子機構にスポット溶接によって接続した後、該蓋体を筒体に溶接固定して、従来の円筒型リチウム二次電池(比較例電池)を完成した。
尚、スポット溶接条件は、電圧2V、最大出力電流150A、通電時間2msecであった。
【0037】
電池の評価
上記本発明電池及び比較例電池において、集電タブを電極端子機構に接続した後、蓋体を筒体に溶接固定する前の状態(図6(a)参照)で、筒体と蓋体の間に約500gの引っ張り荷重を10分間加えて、集電タブの電極端子機構との接続部における切断の有無を調べたところ、試作品50個の内、集電タブが切断した試作品の数は、本発明電池では零であったのに対し、比較例電池では、43個の試作品において集電タブが溶接部で切断されていた。
この結果から、本発明の円筒型リチウム二次電池によれば、集電タブと電極端子機構の間に十分な接続強度が得られることが明らかである。
【0038】
又、上記本発明電池及び比較例電池において、電池の組立に要する時間を計測したところ、本発明電池では、図5(a)に示す如く一方の蓋体(12)について、蓋体(12)に締結部材(7)等を取り付けるのに約1分、同図(b)の如く筒体(11)内に巻き取り電極体(2)を収納するのに約1分、同図(c)の如く挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に集電タブ(3)を挟み込むのに約5分、挟圧部材(5)を締結部材(7)に挿通して図6(a)の如くネジ部(53)に挟圧ナット(54)をねじ込むのに約1分、そして、他方の蓋体(12)については、図5(a)の如く蓋体(12)に締結部材(7)を取り付けるのに約1分、同図(c)の如く挟圧板(51)と挟圧受け板(6)の間に集電タブ(3)を挟み込むのに約5分、挟圧部材(5)を締結部材(7)に挿通して図6(a)の如くネジ部(53)に挟圧ナット(54)をねじ込むのに約1分が必要であり、同図(b)に示す溶接工程に至るまでの所用時間が合計約15分であった。
【0039】
これに対し、比較例電池では、図9に示す一方の蓋体(12)について、蓋体(12)に電極端子機構(9)を取り付けるのに約1分、筒体(11)内に巻き取り電極体(2)を収納するのに約1分、電極端子機構(9)の鍔部(92)に複数の集電タブ(3)を溶接するのに約40分、そして、他方の蓋体(12)については、蓋体(12)に電極端子機構(9)を取り付けるのに約1分、電極端子機構(9)の鍔部(92)に複数の集電タブ(3)を溶接するのに約40分が必要であり、蓋体(12)の溶接工程に至るまでの合計所用時間が約83分となった。
この結果から、従来の円筒型リチウム二次電池では、集電タブの溶接作業に長い時間を要しており、電池組立時間の増大を招いていたが、本発明に係る円筒型リチウム二次電池によれば、集電タブの接続に要する時間が大幅に短縮される結果、電池組立時間も大幅に短縮されることが明らかである。

The present invention relates to a cylindrical lithium secondary battery in which a winding electrode body is accommodated in a cylindrical battery can and power generated by the winding electrode body can be taken out from an electrode terminal mechanism attached to the battery can. It is about.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, lithium secondary batteries having high energy density and containing no harmful substances such as cadmium and lead have attracted attention as power sources for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, road leveling and the like.
For example, in a relatively large capacity cylindrical lithium secondary battery used in an electric vehicle, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, lids (12) and (12) are welded and fixed to both ends of the cylinder (11). The cylindrical battery can (1) is configured to accommodate the winding electrode body (2). A pair of positive and negative electrode terminal mechanisms (9), (9) is attached to the lid bodies (12), (12), and the winding electrode body (2) and the both electrode terminal mechanisms (9), (9) are provided. The electric power generated by the winding electrode body (2) is connected to each other by a plurality of current collecting tabs (3) and can be taken out from the pair of electrode terminal mechanisms (9) and (9). . A safety valve (13) is attached to the lid (12).
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 9, the wound electrode body (2) includes a positive electrode (21) containing a lithium composite oxide, a separator (22) impregnated with a nonaqueous electrolyte, and a negative electrode (23) containing a carbon material. Are overlapped and wound into a spiral shape. A plurality of current collecting tabs (3) are drawn out from the positive electrode (21) and the negative electrode (23), respectively, and the tip portions (31) of the plurality of current collecting tabs (3) having the same polarity are connected to one electrode terminal mechanism ( 9). In FIG. 9, for the sake of convenience, only the state in which the tip portions of some of the current collecting tabs are connected to the electrode terminal mechanism (9) is shown. Illustration of the state connected to 9) is omitted.
The electrode terminal mechanism (9) includes a screw member (91) attached through the lid (12) of the battery can (1), and a hook (92) is provided at the base end of the screw member (91). ) Is formed. An insulating packing (93) is attached to the through hole of the lid (12), and electrical insulation and sealing between the lid (12) and the fastening member (91) are maintained. A washer (94) is fitted to the screw member (91) from the outside of the cylindrical body (11), and a first nut (95) and a second nut (96) are screwed together. These nuts (95) and (96) are tightened, and the insulating packing (93) is clamped by the flange (92) and the washer (94) of the screw member (91), thereby improving the sealing performance.
The tip portions (31) of the plurality of current collecting tabs (3) are fixed to the flange portion (92) of the screw member (91) by spot welding or ultrasonic welding.
[0004]
In the manufacturing process of the cylindrical lithium secondary battery, the electrode terminal mechanism (9) is attached to the lid (12) that constitutes the battery can (1), and the wound electrode body is placed inside the cylindrical body (11). With the (2) inserted, the tips (31) of a plurality of current collecting tabs (3) extending from the winding electrode body (2) are welded to the flange (92) of the electrode terminal mechanism (9). Finally, the lid (12) was placed over the opening of the cylindrical body (11) and both were fixed by welding.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the case of increasing the capacity of the cylindrical lithium secondary battery, if the number of current collecting tabs (3) is small, the electrical resistance increases and the battery performance is deteriorated. It is necessary to connect the winding electrode body (2) and the electrode terminal mechanism (9) by means of the current collecting tab (3).
[0006]
However, it is difficult to weld a plurality of current collecting tabs (3) to the collar portion (92), and at least several ten minutes of work time is required.
Moreover, since the current collecting tab (3) is formed from an aluminum or nickel foil having a thickness of about 0.1 mm, the welded portion may melt and become a hole. There was a problem that the connection strength of the tab (3) was significantly reduced. Even when normal welding is performed without a hole, since the area of the welded portion of the current collecting tab (3) and the flange portion (92) is extremely small, high connection strength cannot be obtained.
However, since the electrical resistance is remarkably increased at the welded portion of the current collecting tab (3) and the flange portion (92), there is a problem that resistance heat is generated.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a cylindrical lithium secondary battery in which a current collecting tab can be easily connected to an electrode terminal mechanism with high strength and reliability, and electrical resistance at a connecting portion is small. .

It is configured to be wound around.
Further, the electrode terminal mechanism (4) is attached to the lid (12) of the battery can (1), and the winding electrode body (2) and the electrode terminal mechanism (4) are provided with a plurality of current collecting tabs (3). ), And the electric power generated by the winding electrode body (2) can be taken out from the electrode terminal mechanism (4).

With the tip portions of the current collecting tabs (3) sandwiched between the pinching plate (51) and the pinching plate (6), the tip portions of the current collecting tabs (3) have a sufficient area. With the sufficient contact area, the electric resistance at the connecting portion becomes small and high connection strength can be obtained at the same time by contacting with the pinching plate (51) and the pinching plate (6).
Since the conventional welding structure is not adopted for the connection structure by this clamping pressure, there is no hole in the current collecting tab (3), and high reliability is obtained.
