Description

本発明は、各単電池の熱を外部に効率的に放熱可能な組電池に関する。   The present invention relates to an assembled battery that can efficiently dissipate the heat of each unit cell to the outside.

従来、多様な負荷電圧や負荷容量に対し共通化された電池で対応する為に、電池を直列接続や並列接続、又はそれらを組み合わせた接続をし、組電池を構成することが多い。特に、近年は、急速充填や高率放電にて使用される用途が増大し、電池温度が高温になり易く、寿命を縮める原因となっている。特に、扁平形電池の長側面同士を接するように組電池を構成した場合、放熱経路がタブリード以外ほとんど無く、中央部に位置する電池の温度が非常に高くなり、他に位置する電池よりも早期に寿命意至り、結果的に組電池としての寿命が短くなってしまう。   Conventionally, in order to cope with various load voltages and load capacities by using a common battery, the battery is often connected in series, parallel, or a combination thereof to form an assembled battery. In particular, in recent years, applications used for rapid filling and high-rate discharge have increased, and the battery temperature tends to be high, leading to a shortened life. In particular, when the assembled battery is configured so that the long side surfaces of the flat battery are in contact with each other, there is almost no heat dissipation path other than the tab lead, and the temperature of the battery located in the central part becomes very high, which is earlier than the batteries located elsewhere. As a result, the lifetime of the assembled battery is shortened.

このような課題を解決するため、特許文献1や特許文献2が提案されている。特許文献1では、単電池間に隙間を開け、そこに冷却風を流して冷却する空冷方式が開示されている。特許文献2には、単電池間に冷却液を循環させる水冷方式が開示されている。   In order to solve such problems, Patent Documents 1 and 2 have been proposed. Patent Document 1 discloses an air cooling system in which a gap is formed between single cells and cooling is performed by flowing cooling air therethrough. Patent Document 2 discloses a water cooling system in which a coolant is circulated between single cells.

しかしながら、上記方式では、単電池間に冷却風や冷却液を循環させるための隙間が必要になり、その分、組電池の大きさが大きくなってしまう。また、これらの方式の組電池を、自動車や航空機などの常に大きな衝撃が加わる移動体に使用した場合、単電池間に隙間を設けているために、耐振設計が複雑になり、十分な耐振構造を得ることが難しく、コスト高も招く。   However, the above method requires a gap for circulating the cooling air or the coolant between the single cells, and the size of the assembled battery increases accordingly. In addition, when these types of assembled batteries are used for mobile objects that are subject to constant impact, such as automobiles and airplanes, there is a gap between the cells, which complicates the vibration resistance design and provides sufficient vibration resistance structure. Is difficult and costly.

なお、電池に限らず、極一般的な放熱手段として、熱源の熱をアルミニウムや銅などでできたヒートシンクに伝熱させ、そのヒートシンクから空気中に放熱させる手段がよく知られている。しかし、この方法を電池に適用すると、どうしても質量が大きくなり、コストも高くなる。   In addition, not only the battery but also a very general heat dissipating means is well known as a means for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat sink made of aluminum, copper or the like and dissipating the heat from the heat sink into the air. However, when this method is applied to a battery, the mass inevitably increases and the cost also increases.

本発明はこうした事情を考慮してなされたもので、組電池の質量増大やコスト高を招くことなく、温度上昇を抑制しえる寿命性能のよい組電池を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an assembled battery with good life performance capable of suppressing a temperature rise without increasing the mass of the assembled battery and increasing the cost.

本発明に係る組電池について以下に詳細に説明する。
本発明において、単電池と組電池設置部間に配置される熱伝導性部材としては、例えば熱伝導性シート、熱伝導性接着剤、熱伝導性ペースト、熱伝導性ゲルが挙げられる。ここで、前記熱伝導性シートとは、熱伝導性に優れる物質を樹脂やゴムに混合してシート状に固化したものである。前記熱伝導性接着剤とは、熱伝導性に優れる物質を接着性物質に混合したものである。前記熱伝導性ペーストとは、熱伝導性に優れる物質を粘性のある物質で混合したものである。前記熱伝導性ゲルとは、熱伝導性に優れる物質にゲルを配合したもの(シリコーンゲル等)である。
The assembled battery according to the present invention will be described in detail below.
In this invention, as a heat conductive member arrange | positioned between a cell and an assembled battery installation part, a heat conductive sheet, a heat conductive adhesive, a heat conductive paste, and a heat conductive gel are mentioned, for example. Here, the heat conductive sheet is a sheet obtained by mixing a material having excellent heat conductivity with a resin or rubber and solidifying the sheet. The heat conductive adhesive is obtained by mixing a material having excellent heat conductivity with an adhesive material. The heat conductive paste is obtained by mixing a material having excellent heat conductivity with a viscous material. The said heat conductive gel is what mix | blended gel with the substance excellent in heat conductivity (silicone gel etc.).

こうした熱伝導性部材を単電池と組電池設置部間に配置することにより、単電池の熱を組電池設置部に伝熱させ、組電池設置部から外部に放熱することができる。
上記熱伝導性シートを、幅方向(図1のx方向)の熱伝導率が低く、厚み方向(図1のy方向)の熱伝導率が高いシートにすることにより、更に効率よく組電池の熱を組電池設置部に伝熱させ、組電池設置部から外部に放熱することができる。前記熱伝導性シートとしては、例えばカーボン結晶を幅方向に積層させたカーボンシートが挙げられる。
By disposing such a heat conductive member between the unit cell and the assembled battery installation part, the heat of the unit cell can be transferred to the assembled battery installation part and radiated from the assembled battery installation part to the outside.
By making the thermal conductive sheet into a sheet having a low thermal conductivity in the width direction (x direction in FIG. 1) and a high thermal conductivity in the thickness direction (y direction in FIG. 1), the assembled battery is more efficiently produced. Heat can be transferred to the assembled battery installation section and radiated from the assembled battery installation section to the outside. Examples of the thermally conductive sheet include a carbon sheet in which carbon crystals are laminated in the width direction.

カーボンシートは、カーボン結晶の配列方向により熱伝導率が異なり、厚み方向にカーボン結晶を積層させることにより、幅方向の熱伝導率は200〜500Wh/cmと非常に高く、厚み方向の熱伝導率は10Wh/cm以下と幅方向の熱伝導率に比べて低くできる。このようなカーボンシートを使用することで、組電池の熱を非常に効率的に組電池設置部に伝熱させ、組電池設置部から外部に放熱することができる。 The carbon sheet has a different thermal conductivity depending on the arrangement direction of the carbon crystals, and by laminating the carbon crystals in the thickness direction, the thermal conductivity in the width direction is as high as 200 to 500 Wh / cm 2. The rate can be as low as 10 Wh / cm 2 or less compared to the thermal conductivity in the width direction. By using such a carbon sheet, the heat of the assembled battery can be transferred to the assembled battery installation portion very efficiently and can be radiated to the outside from the assembled battery installation portion.

本発明において、前記熱伝導性部材をゴム弾性体の熱伝導性部材にすることが好ましい。前記ゴム弾性体の熱伝導性部材を組電池等に用いる場合、設置,配置等の観点からシート状(ゴム弾性熱伝導シート)とすることが好ましい。ゴム弾性熱伝導シートを用いることにより、耐振性が向上する。ここで、ゴム弾性体の熱伝導性部材としては、例えば硬化後ゴム弾性体になる熱伝導性接着剤や、熱伝導性シリコーンゴムシートが挙げられる。本発明において、ゴム弾性熱伝導性シートとカーボン結晶を幅方向に積層させたカーボンシートとを積層させることが好ましい。これにより、放熱性と耐振性を兼ね合わせることができる。   In the present invention, the heat conductive member is preferably a rubber elastic heat conductive member. When the heat conductive member of the rubber elastic body is used for an assembled battery or the like, it is preferable to form a sheet (rubber elastic heat conductive sheet) from the viewpoint of installation, arrangement, and the like. By using the rubber elastic heat conductive sheet, vibration resistance is improved. Here, examples of the heat conductive member of the rubber elastic body include a heat conductive adhesive that becomes a rubber elastic body after curing, and a heat conductive silicone rubber sheet. In this invention, it is preferable to laminate | stack the rubber elastic heat conductive sheet and the carbon sheet which laminated | stacked the carbon crystal on the width direction. Thereby, heat dissipation and vibration resistance can be combined.

本発明において、単電池間に熱伝導率の高い板を配置し、この板が前記熱伝導性部材と密着するように配置することが好ましい。熱伝導率の高い板としては、アルミニウムや銅などの金属板が挙げられる。こうした金属板の配置により、各単電池の熱を、金属板を介して熱伝導性部材に移動させることができる。ここで、前記金属板は熱伝導率が全方向に同じであるため、隣接する単電池を加熱してしまう。しかし、厚み方向の熱伝導率が低く、幅方向の熱伝導率が厚み方向の熱伝導率より高いシート(熱拡散シート)を配置することにより、隣接する単電池へは熱をあまり伝えず、効率的に熱を移動することができる。   In this invention, it is preferable to arrange | position a board | substrate with high heat conductivity between single cells, and to arrange | position so that this board | plate may contact | adhere with the said heat conductive member. Examples of the plate having high thermal conductivity include metal plates such as aluminum and copper. With the arrangement of the metal plate, the heat of each unit cell can be transferred to the heat conductive member via the metal plate. Here, since the metal plate has the same thermal conductivity in all directions, the adjacent unit cells are heated. However, by disposing a sheet (heat diffusion sheet) having a low thermal conductivity in the thickness direction and a higher thermal conductivity in the width direction than the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction, it does not transmit much heat to adjacent unit cells, Heat can be transferred efficiently.

また、前記熱伝導性の高い板は夫々の単電池より若干突出させることにより熱伝導性の高い板と外部(空気)との接触面積を増加させ、放熱性を向上させることが可能である。特に、突出した熱伝導性の高い板(熱拡散シート)を熱伝導性部材に密着(突出している分、熱伝導部材に食込む形となる。)させることにより、熱伝導性の高い板と熱伝導性部材との密着性が向上し放熱性が促進される。なお、熱伝導性の高い板はその大きさは特に限定するものではないが、突出部が0.1mm以下とすることが好ましい。ここで、突出部が0.1mm超過すると、熱伝導シートを破損する恐れがあり、組電池の熱を放熱する力が低下する。   Further, the plate having high thermal conductivity slightly protrudes from each unit cell, whereby the contact area between the plate having high thermal conductivity and the outside (air) can be increased, and heat dissipation can be improved. In particular, by sticking a protruding plate (thermal diffusion sheet) with high thermal conductivity to the thermal conductive member (because it protrudes, the thermal conductive member bites into the thermal conductive member) Adhesiveness with a heat conductive member improves and heat dissipation is accelerated | stimulated. In addition, although the magnitude | size does not specifically limit the board with high heat conductivity, It is preferable that a protrusion part shall be 0.1 mm or less. Here, when a protrusion part exceeds 0.1 mm, there exists a possibility that a heat conductive sheet may be damaged and the force which thermally radiates the heat | fever of an assembled battery falls.

前記厚み方向の熱伝導率が低く、幅方向の熱伝導率が厚み方向の熱伝導率より高い熱拡散シートとしては、例えば厚み方向にカーボン結晶を積層させたカーボンシートやヒートプレートがあるが、軽量化を考えた場合、安価で軽量なカーボンシートが適している。   As the thermal diffusion sheet having a low thermal conductivity in the thickness direction and a thermal conductivity in the width direction higher than the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction, for example, there are carbon sheets and heat plates in which carbon crystals are laminated in the thickness direction, When considering weight reduction, an inexpensive and lightweight carbon sheet is suitable.

前記カーボンシートは、カーボン結晶の配列方向により熱伝導率が異なり、カーボン結晶を厚み方向に積層させることにより、幅方向の熱伝導率は200〜500Wh/cmと非常に高く、厚み方向の熱伝導率は10Wh/cm以下と幅方向の熱伝導率に比べて低くできる。このようなカーボンシートを使用することで、隣接する単電池へは熱をあまり伝えず、効率的に熱を移動することができる。 The carbon sheet has a different thermal conductivity depending on the arrangement direction of the carbon crystals, and by laminating the carbon crystals in the thickness direction, the thermal conductivity in the width direction is as high as 200 to 500 Wh / cm 2. The conductivity can be reduced to 10 Wh / cm 2 or less compared to the thermal conductivity in the width direction. By using such a carbon sheet, heat can be efficiently transferred without transferring much heat to adjacent single cells.

上記表1から分かるように、本発明の電池(電池A乃至H)は、比較例(電池I)の電池と比べて単電池の温度を低く抑えることができる。また、熱伝導性部材としてカーボンシートを用いた電池A及び電池Fは、他の熱伝導性部材を用いた電池B乃至E及び電池Hに比べ、単電池の温度上昇を低く抑えることが可能である。   As can be seen from Table 1 above, the batteries (batteries A to H) of the present invention can suppress the temperature of the unit cell to be lower than that of the battery of the comparative example (battery I). In addition, the battery A and the battery F using the carbon sheet as the heat conductive member can suppress the temperature rise of the unit cell to be lower than those of the batteries B to E and the battery H using the other heat conductive members. is there.

更に、単電池間に熱拡散シートを設けることで放熱性が促進され、電池Gのようにアルミ板を積層する各単電池表面から0.05mmずつ突出するように設けて組電池を作製することで、より熱伝導性の高い板と熱伝導性部材との密着性が向上し、他の組電池に比べて放熱性が促進されたものと考えられる。   Furthermore, heat dissipation is promoted by providing a heat diffusion sheet between the single cells, and a battery assembly is prepared by projecting 0.05 mm from the surface of each single cell on which an aluminum plate is laminated like the battery G. Therefore, it is considered that the adhesion between the plate having higher thermal conductivity and the thermal conductive member is improved, and the heat dissipation is promoted as compared with other assembled batteries.
