Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電池の電極群と封口板との間に配した絶縁リングに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、各種ポ−タブル機器の普及に伴い、密閉型蓄電池が広く用いられておりニッケルカドミウム電池、ニッケル水素電池、リチウム二次電池がその代表である。これらの電池の多くは正・負極板をセパレ−タを介して渦巻状に巻回した電極群を電池ケ−スに収納し、その正極側リ−ドをケ−ス開口部を封口する封口板に溶接する方法が一般的であり、負極はそれ自体を電池ケ−ス内壁と接触させるか、リ−ド先端をケ−ス内底部に溶接している。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これらポ−タブル機器に用いられる電池は、市場で落下衝撃や、繰り返し振動が加えられる苛酷な条件で使用される場合がある。電池は、その内部で極板群が移動、振動を繰り返し、極板群上部より突出した正極リ−ド部の変形が起こり、ケ−ス溝部又は、電極群上部の負極板端と接触し、いわゆる電池の内部短絡を起こして電池の電圧が低下するという課題があった。
【0004】
本発明は、上記の問題点を解決するものであり、耐衝撃性に優れたリチウム二次電池を提供することを目的としている。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この課題を解決するために本発明は、正・負極板とセパレ−タを渦巻状に巻回した電極群を収納した電池ケースと、前記電池ケースの上部にガスケットを介してかしめ加工した封口板と、前記電極群と前記封口板との間に絶縁リングを備えたリチウム二次電池であって、前記絶縁リングは、中央に孔部を設けた円盤状の鍔部と、前記鍔部の内周縁部より上方に向かって形成された筒状の支柱部と、前記支柱部の中を跨る平板部とを有し、前記鍔部の外周縁部は前記電池ケースに設けた溝部の直下に配置され、前記支柱部の上部は前記封口板の底面と接し、前記鍔部の下部は前記電極群の上部と密着した形で電極群を加圧固定した状態で保持されることを特徴とする。これにより、電極群を確実に固定することにより、衝撃、振動による正極リ−ド部の変形を抑え、ケ−ス溝部又は、電極群上部負極端との接触を防止するもので、電池の耐衝撃性を高めるものである。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態について、図面に基づき説明する。図1は本発明の絶縁リングを配置した電池の断面略図である。図1において、1が金属性の電池ケ−スである。2はケ−ス1の上部に電気絶縁性と気密性とを持ったガスケット3を介してかしめ固定される金属性の封口板である。なお4は正・負極板及びセパレ−タからなる渦巻状電極群である。5が4に示す電極群と封口板の間にに収納された正極リ−ドである。本発明の特徴である絶縁リングは6である。これは、図に示すよう上部は封口板に下部は周縁部に設けられた鍔部6aで電極群に密着した形で極板群を加圧固定しケ−ス内での電極群の移動を抑制している。
【0007】
また図2は、絶縁リングの実施形態の例で(A)の形状の他に、電極群の中央部により近い部分を固定できる形状(B)や、正極リ−ドと極板群との接触を防止する形状(C)を採用するとさらに耐衝撃性の効果は高くなる。
【0008】
次に、本発明の具体例を説明する。図2(A)に示した絶縁リングを使用した電池を本発明電池A、図2(C)に示した絶縁リングを使用した電池を本発明電池C、図3に示した絶縁リングを使用した電池を比較電池Dとし、1.5mの高さよりコンクリ−ト上に落下させて電池電圧の異常の発生率を調べた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an insulating ring disposed between a battery electrode group and a sealing plate.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with the spread of various portable devices, sealed storage batteries are widely used, and nickel cadmium batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, and lithium secondary batteries are representative. In many of these batteries, a positive electrode and a negative electrode plate wound in a spiral shape via a separator are housed in a battery case, and the positive electrode side lead is sealed to seal the case opening. In general, the negative electrode is brought into contact with the inner wall of the battery case or the leading end of the lead is welded to the inner bottom of the case.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Batteries used in these portable devices may be used under severe conditions where a drop impact or repeated vibration is applied in the market. In the battery, the electrode plate group repeatedly moves and vibrates in the battery, and the positive lead portion protruding from the upper portion of the electrode plate group is deformed, contacting the case groove portion or the negative electrode plate end of the upper electrode group, There has been a problem that the voltage of the battery is lowered due to a so-called internal short circuit of the battery.
