Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、密閉型電池に関し、とくに可撓性の外装材によって電池要素を封口した密閉型電池に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
携帯用の電子機器は、小型軽量化と共に機能の高度化が進んでいる。その結果、これらの電子機器に使用する電源用の電池には、小型、軽量で容積あたり容量が大きな電池が求められている。
【0003】
エネルギー密度が大きな電池として、リチウムイオン二次電池、ポリマーリチウムイオン電池が用いられている。
こうした密閉型電池においては、従来から用いられてきた金属缶に代えて、合成樹脂製フィルムとアルミニウムフィルムとを積層した可撓性フィルムを外装材として、熱融着によって封口することが行われている。
ところが、可撓性の外装材の封口部は、金属缶を溶接して封口したものに比べて、封口に問題を生じることがあった。
特に、電池要素に接続した電極タブを外部に取り出す部分においては、電極タブによって段差が生じたり、合成樹脂製フィルム同士ではなく、金属と合成樹脂フィルムとの異種材料の接合であるために、耐透湿性、密封性、バリア性、熱溶着部の機械的な剥離強度が劣る欠点があった。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、可とう性の外装材を用いた密閉型電池において熱融着時に電極タブ部分での密封不良を解決することを課題とするものであり、密閉型電池の耐透湿性、密封性、バリア性、安全性等を向上させることを課題とするものであり、特にリチウムイオン電池における密閉性能の向上を図ることを課題とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の課題は、密閉型電池において、電池要素に接合した外部へ導出される電極タブの可撓性の外装材の熱融着部における外装材面への投影像の外形線には、楕円状、円弧状、V字状、またはジグザグ状の線が形成され、熱融着部に位置する電極タブの断面積は、他の部分の断面積よりも大きくはない密閉型電池によって解決することができる。
一本の直線以外の外形線が電極タブに切れ込みを形成することによって形成したものである前記の密閉型電池である。
また、熱融着部に位置する部分の電極タブの厚みは他の部分の厚みよりも大きくはない前記の密閉型電池である。
電極タブの熱融着部に位置する部分に過電流で溶断するものである前記の密閉型電池である。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の密閉型電池は、電池要素に接合して電池の外部へ取り出す電極タブが密閉用の外装材と接する部分の外装材面への投影像の外形線は、一直線ではなく、凹凸、ジグザグ状の線で形成されたものであることを特徴としている。
このために、電極タブの側面と外装材によって形成される接触面は一直線状の電極タブに比べてその長さが長くなり、電極タブと外装材の接触面を通じた電解液の漏液、外部からの水分の浸入に対しての経路が長くなるので、リードと外装材の接触面の封口特性を良好なものとすることができる。
また、電極タブは外形線を凹凸状あるいはジグザグ状としたので、電極タブの上下の外装材は電極タブの切り込み部において電極タブに食い込むようになり、電極タブ部分における外装材の接合強度を大きなものとすることができる。
【0007】
図1は、本発明の密閉型電池の一実施例を説明する図であり、斜視図を示す。本発明の密閉型電池1は、図1(A)に示すように、電池要素2を可撓性の外装材3に収納し、電解液を注入した後に可撓性の外装材3の周囲に形成した熱融着部4によって封口されており、正極電極タブ5および負極電極タブ6が一体に熱融着されている。
図1(B)は、正極導電タブ5および負極導電タブ6の熱融着部を拡大して説明する図である。
熱融着部4に位置する正極導電タブ5および負極導電タブ6の外形線7a、7bおよび8a、8bは、それぞれの電極タブの幅方向の中央部へ向かって切り込み9a、9bおよび10aおよび10bが形成されており、外形線は一直線で結ばれたものに比べて長くなっている。そして、電極タブの両側面から中央部へ向かって切り込まれた結果、熱融着部に位置する電極タブの厚みは、他の部分と同一もしくは他の部分に比べて小さいので電極タブの厚みは電極タブ中央部11、12は断面積が小さくなっており、過大な電流が流れた場合には発熱によって溶断するフューズの作用を果たすこととなる。
また、切り込み9a、9bおよび10aおよび10bが形成されているので、この領域において各電極タブの両面に位置する外装材は直接的に接触して熱融着を起こす結果、外装材の熱融着による封口は強固なものとなる。
【0008】
図2は、本発明の電極タブの熱融着部として使用される他の形状を説明する図であり、図2(A)には、楕円状の切り込み13を形成したものであり、図1(B)に示したものと同様の作用を果たすものである。また、図2(B)は、先端部に多数の円弧状の切り込み14を設けたものであるが、切り込みが浅い場合には漏洩の可能性のある経路が短くなるので封口特性の向上の作用は小さくなるので、切り込みを深く形成することが好ましい。図2(C)は、外形線の両側に単一の円弧状切り込み15を設けたものであり、リードの製造が容易であるという特徴を有している。この場合にも、漏洩の可能性のある経路を長くするために、円弧の中心を結ぶ線が、電極タブの両側の線とが直角以外の角度で交わることが好ましい。また、図2(D)は、V字型の切り込み16を設けたものであり、製造が容易であるという特徴を有しているが、断面積が小さな部分が形成されるようにV字型の切り込みを配置することが好ましい。
【0009】
本発明の密閉型電池は、アルミニウム箔と易接着性フィルムとを積層した積層シート等からなる外装材に電池要素を収納し、熱融着によって封口した電池であれば、各種の電池に適用することができる。
特に、正極タブおよび負極タブの両者を電池要素の最外周部に設けた電池に適用することが好ましい。すなわち、このような電池では、正極導電タブおよび負極導電タブがそれぞれの電極の最外周部に設けられているので、正極導電タブおよび負極導電タブの両者が実質的に同一平面に位置している。したがって、正極導電タブおよび負極導電タブのいずれも、折り曲げ加工等をすることなく、同一平面において外装材を用いて封口することができる。
【0010】
図3は、可撓性の部材に収納した電池を説明する図であり、特に導電タブの取り出しに特徴を有する電池を説明する図である。
図3(A)は、外装材を示す図であり、可撓性の外装材3を押圧して成型し電池要素に合致した大きさの凹部17を形成する。
次いで、図3(B)に断面図を示すように、外装材3の凹部17に、正極導電タブ5および負極導電タブ(図示せず)を外周部に設けた電池要素2を収納する。外装材3に設けた凹部17は電池要素2の大きさと同等であるので電池要素に取り付けた正極導電タブ5および負極導電タブ(図示せず)は、水平に外装材3の表面に接することとなる。
次いで、所定の量の電解液を注入した後に外装材に設けた折り曲げ線18に沿って外装材を180°折り曲げて電池要素を覆った後に、減圧装置内において設置して内部の空気を排気した状態で図3(C)に示すように、熱融着装置19によって電池要素の周囲を正極導電タブおよび負極導電タブも含めて一体に熱融着して封口し、図3(D)に示すように、一体にヒートシールした熱融着部4を有する密閉型電池を作製する。
また、更に図3(E)に示すように、熱融着部4を折り曲げて折り曲げ部20を形成した後に、図3(F)に示すように熱融着部4の折り曲げ部20に電池の名称等を記載した粘着性部材の層を裏面に有するラベル21を貼り付けて接着固定しても良い。
【0011】
本発明の密閉型電池は、各種のリチウムイオン電池、ポリマーリチウム電池、水系の密閉型電池等の各種の密閉型電池に適用することができる。
リチウムイオン電池を例に挙げて説明すると、正極電極は帯状のアルミニウム箔に、LixMO2(ただしMは、少なくとも1の遷移金属を表す。)である複合酸化物、例えば、LixCoO2、LixNiO2、LixMn24、LixMnO3、LixNiyCo(1-y)O2などを 、カーボンブラック等の導電性物質、ポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVDF)等の結着剤をN−メチル−2−ピロリドン(NMP)等の溶剤とを分散混練した調製した正極塗料が本発明の塗布装置によって塗布される。片面の塗布が終わったものは乾燥後に反対面も同様に塗布し、両面を塗布される。
【0012】
また、負極電極は、帯状の銅箔等の表面に、リチウムをドープ及び脱ドープ可能な、熱分解炭素類、ピッチコークス、ニードルコークス、石油コークスなどのコークス類、グラファイト類、ガラス状炭素類、フェノール樹脂、フラン樹脂などを焼成した有機高分子化合物焼成体、炭素繊維、活性炭などの炭素質材料、ポリアセチレン、ポリピロール等の導電性高分子材料、あるいは金属リチウム、リチウム−アルミ合金等のリチウム合金をカーボンブラックなどの導電性物質、ポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVDF)等の結着剤をN−メチル−2−ピロリドン(NMP)等の溶剤とを分散混練した調製した負極塗布液を本発明の塗布装置によって塗布される。片面の塗布が終わったものは乾燥後に反対面も同様に塗布し、両面を塗布される。
【0013】
なお、負極電極にあっては、巻回して電池要素を作製した場合に片面が正極活物質層に対向しない部分にあっては、片面のみに負極活物質層を形成しても良い。
次いで、負極電極および正極電極に負極導電タブおよび正極導電タブを、超音波溶接、抵抗溶接等の方法によって接合した後に、巻回装置で巻回し、巻止めテープによって電池要素を固定した後に、圧迫して所定の形状に成型し製造することができる。
【0014】
本発明の密閉型電池に使用することができる外装材としては、アルミニウム箔の電池内面に位置する面にポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、アイオノマー、エチレン−メタクリレート共重合樹脂、エチレン−(メタ)クリレート共重合樹脂、などの熱可塑性樹脂層を接着剤層を介して、あるいは接着剤層を用いずに熱融着により貼り合わせ、反対側にはポリエチレンテレフタレート等のポリエステル樹脂、あるいはナイロン樹脂等を積層したものが用いられる。
また、内面のポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等の接合面から水分が電池容器内に浸入すると、電解質として使用されているLiPF6 等が分解してフッ化水素酸が生成し、電池活物質への悪影響や、外装材のアルミニウムの腐食等の問題も生じるために封口面の性能を長期にわたって維持することは極めて重要である。封口面の熱融着特性の改善のために、内面のフィルムには、融着特性が良好な未延伸ポリエチレンフィルムを用いても良く、また、少なくとも封口面には、マレイン酸変成オレフィン樹脂層を形成したものであってもよい。
さらに、正極導電タブおよび負極導電タブと外装材が接触する部分には、予めマレイン酸オレフィン等を塗布して表面処理したり、マレイン酸オレフィンフィルム等で被覆し外装材との接合強度を高めたものであっても良い。

【実施例】
以下に実施例、比較例を示し本発明を説明する。

アルミニウム箔の一方の面にポリエチレンフィルムを、他方にはポリエステル製フィルムを積層したラミネートフィルムによって、電池要素に取り付けた、厚さ0.1mm、幅4.3mmのタブを熱融着幅4.0mmで熱融着を行った。
実施例の電池のタブには、図4に示すように切り込みを設け、比較例の電池のタブは、切り込みを設けずに、それぞれ同数の電池を作製し、恒温恒湿試験装置において60℃90%RHの雰囲気に500時間放置したところ、切り込みを設けたものでは漏洩したものは発生しなかったが、切り込みを設けないものでは、20%に漏洩が生じた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sealed battery, and more particularly to a sealed battery in which a battery element is sealed with a flexible exterior material.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Portable electronic devices are becoming smaller and lighter and have advanced functions. As a result, batteries for power supplies used in these electronic devices are required to be small, light and large in capacity per volume.
[0003]
As a battery having a large energy density, a lithium ion secondary battery or a polymer lithium ion battery is used.
In such a sealed battery, instead of a conventionally used metal can, sealing is performed by heat sealing using a flexible film in which a synthetic resin film and an aluminum film are laminated as an exterior material. Yes.
However, the sealing portion of the flexible exterior material sometimes causes a problem in the sealing as compared with a case where a metal can is sealed by welding.
In particular, in the part where the electrode tab connected to the battery element is taken out to the outside, a step is generated by the electrode tab, or it is not a synthetic resin film but a joint of a dissimilar material between a metal and a synthetic resin film. There were drawbacks in that the moisture permeability, sealing property, barrier property, and mechanical peel strength of the heat welded portion were inferior.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to solve the sealing failure at the electrode tab portion during heat fusion in a sealed battery using a flexible exterior material. It is an object to improve barrier properties, safety and the like, and in particular, to improve sealing performance in a lithium ion battery.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
An object of the present invention is to provide an ellipse in the outline of the projected image on the exterior material surface of the heat-sealed portion of the flexible exterior material of the electrode tab that is led to the outside joined to the battery element in the sealed battery. The cross-sectional area of the electrode tab located in the heat-sealed part is not larger than the cross-sectional area of the other part, and the battery should be solved by a sealed battery in which a line, arc-shaped, V-shaped or zigzag line is formed Can do.
In the sealed battery, an outer shape line other than one straight line is formed by forming a cut in the electrode tab.
Further, in the sealed battery described above, the thickness of the electrode tab in the portion located in the heat fusion portion is not larger than the thickness of the other portion.
In the above sealed battery, the electrode tab is melted by overcurrent at a portion located in the heat-sealed portion of the electrode tab.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the sealed battery of the present invention, the external line of the projected image on the exterior material surface of the portion where the electrode tab joined to the battery element and taken out to the outside of the battery is in contact with the exterior packaging material is not a straight line, but is uneven, zigzag It is characterized by being formed by a line of shapes.
For this reason, the length of the contact surface formed by the side surface of the electrode tab and the exterior material is longer than that of the straight electrode tab, and electrolyte leakage through the contact surface of the electrode tab and the exterior material Since the path for intrusion of moisture from the lead becomes long, the sealing characteristics of the contact surface between the lead and the exterior material can be improved.
In addition, since the outer shape of the electrode tab is uneven or zigzag shaped, the upper and lower outer packaging material of the electrode tab bites into the electrode tab at the cut portion of the electrode tab, and the bonding strength of the outer packaging material at the electrode tab portion is increased. Can be.
[0007]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of a sealed battery according to the present invention, and shows a perspective view. As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the sealed battery 1 of the present invention houses a battery element 2 in a flexible exterior material 3 and injects an electrolyte solution, and then surrounds the flexible exterior material 3. Sealed by the formed heat-sealing part 4, the positive electrode tab 5 and the negative electrode tab 6 are integrally heat-sealed.
FIG. 1B is an enlarged view for explaining the heat fusion part of the positive electrode conductive tab 5 and the negative electrode conductive tab 6.

Are formed, and the outline is longer than that formed by a straight line. And as a result of being cut from the both side surfaces of the electrode tab toward the center portion, the thickness of the electrode tab located at the heat fusion portion is the same as the other portion or smaller than the other portion, so the thickness of the electrode tab In the electrode tab central portions 11 and 12, the cross-sectional area is small, and when an excessive current flows, it acts as a fuse that is blown by heat generation.
In addition, since the notches 9a, 9b and 10a and 10b are formed, the exterior material located on both surfaces of each electrode tab in this region is in direct contact and causes thermal fusion, resulting in thermal fusion of the exterior material. The sealing by becomes strong.

The same function as shown in (B) is achieved. In FIG. 2B, a large number of arc-shaped cuts 14 are provided at the tip, but when the cuts are shallow, the path that may leak is shortened, so that the sealing characteristics are improved. Therefore, it is preferable to make a deep cut. FIG. 2C shows a feature in which a single arc-shaped cut 15 is provided on both sides of the outline, and the lead can be easily manufactured. Also in this case, in order to lengthen the path that may leak, it is preferable that the line connecting the centers of the arcs intersects the lines on both sides of the electrode tab at an angle other than a right angle. FIG. 2D is provided with a V-shaped notch 16 and has a feature that it is easy to manufacture, but has a V-shape so that a portion with a small cross-sectional area is formed.

Next, as shown in a cross-sectional view in FIG. 3B, the battery element 2 having the positive electrode conductive tab 5 and the negative electrode conductive tab (not shown) provided on the outer peripheral portion is accommodated in the recess 17 of the exterior material 3. Since the concave portion 17 provided in the exterior member 3 is equivalent to the size of the battery element 2, the positive electrode conductive tab 5 and the negative electrode conductive tab (not shown) attached to the battery element are in contact with the surface of the exterior member 3 horizontally. Become.
Next, after injecting a predetermined amount of electrolyte, the exterior member was bent 180 ° along the fold line 18 provided on the exterior member to cover the battery element, and then installed in a decompression device to exhaust the internal air. In the state, as shown in FIG. 3 (C), the periphery of the battery element including the positive electrode conductive tab and the negative electrode conductive tab is integrally heat-sealed and sealed by the heat fusion device 19, and shown in FIG. 3 (D). Thus, a sealed battery having the heat-sealed portion 4 heat-sealed integrally is produced.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (E), after the heat-sealed portion 4 is bent to form the bent portion 20, the bent portion 20 of the heat-fused portion 4 is connected to the bent portion 20 of the heat-fused portion 4 as shown in FIG. 3 (F).
