しかしながら、上記従来の蓄電装置では、振動や衝撃が与えられたときに、複数の蓄電素子と複数の絶縁部材とのいずれかが並び方向に交差する方向にずれるおそれがある。つまり、上記の蓄電装置では、拘束部材により付与される拘束力の方向に交差する方向に蓄電素子が移動することを抑制することが難しい。   However, in the conventional power storage device, when vibration or impact is applied, any of the plurality of power storage elements and the plurality of insulating members may be shifted in a direction crossing the arrangement direction. That is, in the above power storage device, it is difficult to suppress the power storage element from moving in a direction that intersects the direction of the restraining force applied by the restraining member.

本発明は、上記問題を解決するためになされたものであり、蓄電素子が拘束部材により付与される拘束力の方向に交差する方向に移動することを抑制できる蓄電装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a power storage device that can suppress the power storage element from moving in a direction crossing the direction of the binding force applied by the binding member. To do.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明の一態様に係る蓄電装置は、蓄電素子と、前記蓄電素子の第一方向側に配置され、前記蓄電素子に対して前記第一方向に交差する第二方向における拘束力を付与する拘束部材と、前記蓄電素子の前記第一方向側または前記第二方向側に配置される絶縁部材と、前記絶縁部材と前記拘束部材との間に配置されている充填部材と、を備える。   In order to achieve the above object, a power storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a power storage element, a second power supply element that is disposed on a first direction side of the power storage element and intersects the first direction with respect to the power storage element. A restraining member for imparting a restraining force in a direction, an insulating member disposed on the first direction side or the second direction side of the power storage element, and a filling disposed between the insulating member and the restraining member A member.

これによれば、蓄電素子の側方に設けられる絶縁部材と拘束部材との間に充填部材が設けられているため、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、蓄電素子が拘束部材に向かって移動することを抑制できる。つまり、この構成により、蓄電素子が拘束部材により付与される拘束力の方向に交差する方向に移動することを抑制できる。   According to this, since the filling member is provided between the insulating member and the restraining member provided on the side of the power storage element, even if the power storage device is subjected to vibration or impact, the power storage element becomes the restraining member. It can suppress moving toward. That is, with this configuration, it is possible to suppress the storage element from moving in a direction that intersects the direction of the restraining force applied by the restraining member.

また、前記絶縁部材は、前記蓄電素子の前記第二方向側に配置され、前記拘束部材は、前記蓄電素子と前記絶縁部材とに対して前記第二方向における拘束力を付与してもよい。   The insulating member may be disposed on the second direction side of the power storage element, and the restraining member may apply a restraining force in the second direction to the power storage element and the insulating member.

これによれば、絶縁部材と拘束部材との間に充填部材が設けられているため、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かって移動することを抑制できる。   According to this, since the filling member is provided between the insulating member and the restraining member, it is possible to prevent the insulating member from moving toward the restraining member even if vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device. .

また、前記絶縁部材と、前記充填部材とは、一体に形成されていてもよい。   The insulating member and the filling member may be integrally formed.

このため、絶縁部材と充填部材との間の強度を向上させることができる。このため、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、充填部材が絶縁部材と拘束部材との間の所定の位置からずれることを抑制できる。   For this reason, the strength between the insulating member and the filling member can be improved. For this reason, even if a vibration or impact is given to the power storage device, the filling member can be prevented from shifting from a predetermined position between the insulating member and the restraining member.

また、前記絶縁部材は、前記蓄電素子の前記第二方向側に配置される第一板状部材と、前記蓄電素子の前記第一方向側に配置される壁部とを有し、前記充填部材は、前記壁部に設けられてもよい。   The insulating member includes a first plate-like member disposed on the second direction side of the power storage element, and a wall portion disposed on the first direction side of the power storage element, and the filling member May be provided on the wall.

このため、絶縁部材と拘束部材との間の領域であって、充填部材が配置される領域を広げることができる。これにより、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   For this reason, it is an area | region between an insulating member and a restraint member, Comprising: The area | region where a filling member is arrange | positioned can be expanded. Thereby, it can suppress more reliably that an insulating member shifts toward a restraint member.

また、前記充填部材は、前記第一板状部材の延長線上に設けられてもよい。   The filling member may be provided on an extension line of the first plate member.

このため、拘束部材から第二方向の反対側に向けた力が加えられる場合、当該力を効率よく第一板状部材に伝えることができる。これにより、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   For this reason, when a force directed from the restraining member toward the opposite side in the second direction is applied, the force can be efficiently transmitted to the first plate member. Thereby, it can suppress more reliably that an insulating member shifts toward a restraint member.

また、前記拘束部材は、前記充填部材に付勢力を付与するように前記絶縁部材に対して固定されていてもよい。   Further, the restraining member may be fixed to the insulating member so as to apply a biasing force to the filling member.

これによれば、絶縁部材は充填部材を介して拘束部材により押さえられているため、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   According to this, since the insulating member is pressed by the restraining member via the filling member, even if vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device, the insulating member is more reliably suppressed from moving toward the restraining member. it can.

また、さらに、前記蓄電素子及び前記絶縁部材を前記第二方向で挟み込み、かつ、前記拘束部材からの前記拘束力を前記蓄電素子及び前記絶縁部材との間に付与する一対の挟持部材を備え、前記一対の挟持部材のそれぞれは、前記蓄電素子の前記第二方向側に設けられる第二板状部材と、前記蓄電素子及び前記絶縁部材の少なくとも一方の前記第一方向側に設けられ、かつ、前記拘束部材が接続される接続部とを有し、前記充填部材は、前記一対の挟持部材の間に設けられてもよい。   And a pair of clamping members that sandwich the power storage element and the insulating member in the second direction and that apply the restraining force from the restraining member between the power storage element and the insulating member. Each of the pair of clamping members is provided on the first direction side of at least one of the electricity storage element and the insulating member, and a second plate-like member provided on the second direction side of the electricity storage element, and A connecting portion to which the restraining member is connected, and the filling member may be provided between the pair of clamping members.

これによれば、拘束部材と絶縁部材または蓄電素子との間に挟持部材の接続部が設けられるような構成の挟持部材が採用されていても、拘束部材と絶縁部材との間に充填部材が設けられているため、接続部が設けられることにより生じる拘束部材と絶縁部材または蓄電素子との間の隙間を充填部材により埋めることができる。このため、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   According to this, even if a sandwiching member having a configuration in which a connection portion of the sandwiching member is provided between the restraining member and the insulating member or the storage element, the filling member is interposed between the restraining member and the insulating member. Since it is provided, the gap between the constraining member and the insulating member or the power storage element generated by providing the connection portion can be filled with the filling member. For this reason, even if a vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device, it is possible to more reliably suppress the insulating member from being displaced toward the restraining member.

また、前記一対の挟持部材の少なくとも一方は、さらに、前記第二板状部材及び前記接続部の間に跨がって設けられる補強部を有してもよい。   In addition, at least one of the pair of clamping members may further include a reinforcing portion provided across the second plate-like member and the connection portion.

これによれば、第二板状部材と接続部との内側に向かって突出する補強部が設けられ、拘束部材と絶縁部材との間にさらに隙間が生じるような構成の挟持部材が採用されていても、拘束部材と絶縁部材との間に充填部材が設けられているため、当該隙間を充填部材により埋めることができる。このため、挟持部材の強度を向上させつつ、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   According to this, the reinforcement part which protrudes toward the inner side of a 2nd plate-shaped member and a connection part is provided, and the clamping member of the structure which a clearance gap produces between a restraint member and an insulation member is employ | adopted. However, since the filling member is provided between the restraining member and the insulating member, the gap can be filled with the filling member. For this reason, it can suppress more reliably that an insulating member shifts toward a restraint member, improving the intensity | strength of a clamping member.

また、前記接続部は、前記第二板状部材から前記蓄電素子側に向けて曲げられることにより形成されており、前記補強部は、前記第二板状部材及び前記接続部の接続部分から前記絶縁部材及び前記拘束部材の少なくとも一方に向かって突出してもよい。   Further, the connection portion is formed by being bent from the second plate-shaped member toward the power storage element side, and the reinforcing portion is formed from the connection portion of the second plate-shaped member and the connection portion. You may protrude toward at least one of an insulating member and the said restraint member.

これによれば、曲げられることにより形成された接続部と第二板状部材との間に、補強部が形成されているため、曲げられた方向またはその反対方向に向かう曲げに対する接続部及び第二板状部材の間の剛性を向上できる。これにより、接続部と第二板状部材との間の曲げられた部分の強度を向上させることができる。   According to this, since the reinforcing portion is formed between the connecting portion formed by bending and the second plate-like member, the connecting portion and the second portion against bending in the bent direction or the opposite direction are provided. The rigidity between the two plate-like members can be improved. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the bent part between a connection part and a 2nd plate-shaped member can be improved.

また、前記蓄電装置は、前記第二方向に並ぶ複数の前記蓄電素子と、前記複数の蓄電素子の間に設けられる複数の前記絶縁部材と、前記複数の絶縁部材と前記拘束部材との間に設けられる複数の充填部材とを備え、前記複数の充填部材は、互いに離間した状態で、前記拘束部材が延びる方向に並んで設けられてもよい。   The power storage device includes a plurality of the power storage elements arranged in the second direction, a plurality of the insulating members provided between the plurality of power storage elements, and the plurality of insulating members and the restraining members. A plurality of filling members provided, and the plurality of filling members may be provided side by side in a direction in which the restraining member extends in a state of being separated from each other.

これによれば、複数の充填部材は、拘束部材と複数の絶縁部材との間にそれぞれが離散的に独立して設けられている。このため、複数の充填部材のうちの一の充填部材の変形が他の充填部材に影響しない。これにより、複数の充填部材のそれぞれは、拘束部材及び絶縁部材に当接しやすくできる。このため、複数の絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   According to this, each of the plurality of filling members is discretely and independently provided between the restraining member and the plurality of insulating members. For this reason, deformation of one filling member among a plurality of filling members does not affect other filling members. Thus, each of the plurality of filling members can easily come into contact with the restraining member and the insulating member. For this reason, it can suppress more reliably that a some insulating member shifts toward a restraint member.

また、前記充填部材は、前記第一方向及び前記第二方向に交差する第三方向に延びる長尺状の形状を有してもよい。   The filling member may have a long shape extending in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction.

これによれば、充填部材は、第二方向に延びる拘束部材に交差する方向に長尺状の形状を有するため、拘束部材から第三方向に絶縁部材がずれたとしても拘束部材と絶縁部材との間に位置することができる。これにより、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、絶縁部材が拘束部材に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   According to this, since the filling member has an elongated shape in a direction intersecting with the restraining member extending in the second direction, even if the insulating member is displaced from the restraining member in the third direction, the restraining member and the insulating member Can be located between. Thereby, even if a vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device, it is possible to more reliably suppress the insulating member from being displaced toward the restraining member.

また、前記充填部材は、さらに、前記第三方向と交差する方向に延びる長尺状の形状を有してもよい。   The filling member may further have an elongated shape extending in a direction intersecting with the third direction.

このため、充填部材の強度を向上させることができる。   For this reason, the intensity | strength of a filling member can be improved.

なお、本発明は、このような蓄電装置として実現することができるだけでなく、当該蓄電装置が備える絶縁部材としても実現することができる。   Note that the present invention can be realized not only as such a power storage device but also as an insulating member included in the power storage device.

本発明における蓄電装置によれば、蓄電素子が拘束部材により付与される拘束力の方向に交差する方向に移動することを抑制できる。   According to the power storage device of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the power storage element from moving in a direction that intersects the direction of the restraining force applied by the restraining member.

なお、これらの図及び以降の図では、説明の便宜のため、Y軸方向を上下方向として示しており、Y軸方向を上下方向として説明している箇所があるが、実際の使用態様において、Y軸方向が上下方向になるとは限らない。   In these figures and the following figures, for convenience of explanation, the Y-axis direction is shown as the vertical direction, and there is a place where the Y-axis direction is described as the vertical direction. The Y-axis direction is not always the vertical direction.

これらの図に示すように、蓄電ユニット30は、複数の蓄電素子100(本実施の形態では、8つの蓄電素子100)と、複数のスペーサ200(本実施の形態では、7つのスペーサ200)と、一対の挟持部材300と、複数の拘束部材400(本実施の形態では、4つの拘束部材410〜440)と、バスバーフレーム500と、複数のバスバー600とを備えている。   As shown in these drawings, the power storage unit 30 includes a plurality of power storage elements 100 (eight power storage elements 100 in the present embodiment), a plurality of spacers 200 (seven spacers 200 in the present embodiment), and A pair of clamping members 300, a plurality of restraining members 400 (four restraining members 410 to 440 in the present embodiment), a bus bar frame 500, and a plurality of bus bars 600 are provided.

蓄電素子100は、電気を充電し、また、電気を放電することのできる二次電池(単電池)であり、より具体的には、リチウムイオン二次電池等の非水電解質二次電池である。蓄電素子100は、扁平な矩形状を有しており、スペーサ200に隣接して配置されている。つまり、複数の蓄電素子100のそれぞれが、複数のスペーサ200のそれぞれと交互に配置され、Z軸方向に並べられている。要するに、スペーサ200は、蓄電素子100の側方に設けられる。   The storage element 100 is a secondary battery (unit cell) that can charge and discharge electricity, and more specifically, a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery. . The power storage element 100 has a flat rectangular shape and is disposed adjacent to the spacer 200. That is, each of the plurality of power storage elements 100 is alternately arranged with each of the plurality of spacers 200 and arranged in the Z-axis direction. In short, the spacer 200 is provided on the side of the power storage element 100.

本実施の形態では、蓄電素子100は、外装体10内方に横向きにして配置されている(図2参照)が、同図では、説明の便宜のため、蓄電素子100は、電極端子を上方に向けて配置された状態で図示している。なお、蓄電素子100は、非水電解質二次電池には限定されず、非水電解質二次電池以外の二次電池であってもよいし、キャパシタであってもよい。蓄電素子100の詳細な構成の説明については、後述する。   In the present embodiment, the power storage element 100 is disposed laterally inside the outer package 10 (see FIG. 2). However, in FIG. It has shown in the state arrange | positioned toward. In addition, the electrical storage element 100 is not limited to a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, A secondary battery other than a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery may be sufficient, and a capacitor may be sufficient as it. The detailed configuration of the power storage device 100 will be described later.

スペーサ200は、隣り合う2つの蓄電素子100の間に配置され、当該2つの蓄電素子100間を絶縁する樹脂等で形成された絶縁性の板状部材を有する。つまり、スペーサ200は、絶縁部材である。本実施の形態では、8つの蓄電素子100の間に、7枚のスペーサ200が配置されている。なお、スペーサ200は、例えばポリカーボネートやポリプロピレン(PP)等の絶縁性の樹脂により形成されているが、絶縁性を有する部材であればどのような材質で形成されていてもかまわない。   The spacer 200 is disposed between two adjacent power storage elements 100 and has an insulating plate-like member formed of a resin or the like that insulates between the two power storage elements 100. That is, the spacer 200 is an insulating member. In the present embodiment, seven spacers 200 are arranged between the eight power storage elements 100. The spacer 200 is formed of an insulating resin such as polycarbonate or polypropylene (PP), but may be formed of any material as long as it is a member having an insulating property.

また、スペーサ200は、蓄電素子100の正面側または背面側の略半分(Z軸方向に2つに分けた場合の略半分)を覆うように、形成されている。つまり、スペーサ200の正面側または背面側の両面(Z軸方向の両面)には凹部が形成されており、当該凹部に上記の蓄電素子100の略半分が挿入される。このような構成により、蓄電素子100を挟む2つのスペーサ200が、蓄電素子100のほとんどの部分を覆うこととなるので、スペーサ200によって、蓄電素子100と他の導電性部材との間の絶縁性を向上させることができている。スペーサ200の詳細な構成については、後述する。   Spacer 200 is formed so as to cover approximately half of the front side or back side of storage element 100 (substantially half when divided into two in the Z-axis direction). That is, a recess is formed on both the front side or the back side (both sides in the Z-axis direction) of the spacer 200, and approximately half of the power storage element 100 is inserted into the recess. With such a configuration, the two spacers 200 sandwiching the power storage element 100 cover most of the power storage element 100, so that the insulating property between the power storage element 100 and another conductive member is covered by the spacer 200. Can be improved. The detailed configuration of the spacer 200 will be described later.

挟持部材300は、一対の平板状部材である挟持部材310及び320からなり、複数の蓄電素子100を、当該複数の蓄電素子100の並び方向(Z軸方向)の両側から挟み込んで保持する。   The sandwiching member 300 includes a pair of sandwiching members 310 and 320 that are flat plate-like members, and sandwiches and holds the plurality of power storage elements 100 from both sides in the arrangement direction (Z-axis direction) of the plurality of power storage elements 100.

つまり、挟持部材310は、複数の蓄電素子100のうちの最もZ軸方向プラス側に配置された蓄電素子100aよりも、Z軸方向プラス側に配置された平板状部材である。また、挟持部材320は、複数の蓄電素子100のうちの最もZ軸方向マイナス側に配置された蓄電素子100bよりも、Z軸方向マイナス側に配置された平板状部材である。そして、挟持部材310と挟持部材320とで、複数の蓄電素子100及び複数のスペーサ200を、当該複数の蓄電素子100及び複数のスペーサ200の並び方向(Z軸方向)の両側から挟み込んで保持する。   That is, the clamping member 310 is a flat plate member that is disposed on the positive side in the Z-axis direction with respect to the power storage element 100 a that is disposed on the most positive side in the Z-axis direction among the plurality of power storage elements 100. The sandwiching member 320 is a flat plate-like member disposed on the minus side in the Z-axis direction relative to the electricity storage element 100b disposed on the most minus side in the Z-axis direction among the plurality of power storage elements 100. The sandwiching member 310 and the sandwiching member 320 sandwich and hold the plurality of power storage elements 100 and the plurality of spacers 200 from both sides in the arrangement direction (Z-axis direction) of the plurality of power storage elements 100 and the plurality of spacers 200. .

また、挟持部材300(挟持部材310、320)は、強度の観点等から、例えばステンレスやアルミニウム等の金属製(導電性)の部材で形成されているが、隣り合う蓄電素子100との間に、絶縁性の部材が配置されることで、蓄電素子100との絶縁性を確保している。なお、挟持部材300は、金属製(導電性)の部材に限定されず、例えば強度の高い絶縁性の部材で形成されていてもよい。また、挟持部材310と挟持部材320とは、同じ材質の部材で形成されていてもよいし、異なる材質の部材で形成されていてもかまわない。   In addition, the sandwiching member 300 (the sandwiching members 310 and 320) is formed of a metal (conductive) member such as stainless steel or aluminum from the viewpoint of strength or the like. The insulating member is disposed to ensure insulation from the power storage element 100. Note that the clamping member 300 is not limited to a metal (conductive) member, and may be formed of, for example, an insulating member having high strength. Further, the sandwiching member 310 and the sandwiching member 320 may be formed of members of the same material, or may be formed of members of different materials.

拘束部材400は、両端が挟持部材300に取り付けられて、複数の蓄電素子100を拘束する部材である。つまり、拘束部材400は、当該複数の蓄電素子100を跨ぐように配置され、当該複数の蓄電素子100に対して複数の蓄電素子の並び方向(Z軸方向)における拘束力を付与する。なお、拘束部材400は、挟持部材300と同様に、例えばステンレスやアルミニウム等の金属製の部材で形成されているのが好ましいが、金属以外の部材で形成されていてもかまわない。   The restraining member 400 is a member that is attached to the sandwiching member 300 at both ends and restrains the plurality of power storage elements 100. That is, the restraining member 400 is disposed so as to straddle the plurality of power storage elements 100, and applies a restraining force in the arrangement direction (Z-axis direction) of the plurality of power storage elements to the plurality of power storage elements 100. The restraining member 400 is preferably formed of a metal member such as stainless steel or aluminum, for example, similarly to the clamping member 300, but may be formed of a member other than metal.

具体的には、拘束部材400は、一端が挟持部材310に取り付けられるとともに、他端が挟持部材320に取り付けられる。そして、拘束部材400は、複数の蓄電素子100及び複数のスペーサ200に対して、当該複数の蓄電素子100及び複数のスペーサ200の並び方向における拘束力を付与する。これにより、挟持部材310、320は、複数の蓄電素子100及び複数のスペーサ200をZ軸方向で挟み込み、かつ、拘束部材400からの拘束力を蓄電素子100及びスペーサ200に対して付与する。   Specifically, the restraining member 400 has one end attached to the holding member 310 and the other end attached to the holding member 320. Then, the restraining member 400 applies a restraining force in the arrangement direction of the plurality of power storage elements 100 and the plurality of spacers 200 to the plurality of power storage elements 100 and the plurality of spacers 200. Thereby, the clamping members 310 and 320 sandwich the plurality of power storage elements 100 and the plurality of spacers 200 in the Z-axis direction, and apply the restraining force from the restraining member 400 to the power storage elements 100 and the spacers 200.

ここで、拘束部材400は、拘束部材410〜440からなる。拘束部材410及び420は、複数の蓄電素子100の上下方向両側(Y軸方向の両側)に配置され、当該複数の蓄電素子100を当該両側から挟み込んで拘束する。また、拘束部材430及び440は、複数の蓄電素子100の両側方(X軸方向の両側)に配置され、当該複数の蓄電素子100を当該両側方から挟み込んで拘束する。   Here, the restraining member 400 includes restraining members 410 to 440. The restraining members 410 and 420 are disposed on both sides of the plurality of power storage elements 100 in the vertical direction (both sides in the Y-axis direction), and sandwich and restrain the plurality of power storage elements 100 from both sides. The restraining members 430 and 440 are arranged on both sides (both sides in the X-axis direction) of the plurality of power storage elements 100, and sandwich and restrain the plurality of power storage elements 100 from both sides.

The restraining member 430 and the restraining member 440 are a pair of long and flat members disposed on the plus side and the minus side in the X-axis direction of the plurality of power storage elements 100. Each of the restraining member 410 and the restraining member 420 is a member formed by connecting two long and flat members arranged in the X-axis direction in the X-axis direction. In addition, each of the restraining member 430 and the restraining member 440 is formed of a single long and flat member, and is disposed at different positions in the Y-axis direction.

バスバーフレーム500は、バスバー600と他の部材との絶縁、蓄電装置1内に配置される各種の配線等の保護、及び、バスバー600の位置規制を行うことができる部材である。特に、バスバーフレーム500は、バスバー600を、複数の蓄電素子100に対して位置決めする。   The bus bar frame 500 is a member that can insulate the bus bar 600 from other members, protect various wirings disposed in the power storage device 1, and restrict the position of the bus bar 600.

A bus bar 600 is placed on the bus bar frame 500. At this time, the protrusion of the bus bar frame 500 is inserted into the opening formed in the bus bar 600, whereby the bus bar 600 is positioned with respect to the bus bar frame 500. As a result, the bus bar 600 is positioned with respect to the plurality of power storage elements 100 and joined to the respective electrode terminals of the plurality of power storage elements 100.

Specifically, this figure is a perspective view showing the inside of the electricity storage device 100 through the container 110 of the electricity storage device 100.

同図に示すように、蓄電素子100は、容器110、正極端子120及び負極端子130を備えている。また、容器110内方には、電極体140、正極集電体150及び負極集電体160が配置されている。なお、容器110の内部には電解液等の液体が封入されているが、当該液体の図示は省略する。   As shown in the figure, the electricity storage element 100 includes a container 110, a positive electrode terminal 120, and a negative electrode terminal 130. In addition, an electrode body 140, a positive electrode current collector 150, and a negative electrode current collector 160 are disposed inside the container 110. In addition, although liquids, such as electrolyte solution, are enclosed in the inside of the container 110, illustration of the said liquid is abbreviate | omitted.

容器110は、金属からなる矩形筒状で底を備える本体と、当該本体の開口を閉塞する金属製の蓋部とで構成されている。容器110は、電極体140等を内部に収容後、蓋部と本体とが溶接等されることにより、内部を密封することができるものとなっている。   The container 110 is composed of a rectangular cylindrical body made of metal and having a bottom, and a metal lid that closes the opening of the body. The container 110 can seal the inside by welding the lid portion and the main body after the electrode body 140 and the like are accommodated therein.

電極体140は、正極と負極とセパレータとを備え、電気を蓄えることができる発電要素である。具体的には、電極体140は、正極と負極との間にセパレータが挟み込まれるように層状に配置されたものを巻回されて形成された巻回型の電極体である。なお、電極体140は、平板状極板を積層した積層型の電極体であってもかまわない。   The electrode body 140 includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, and is a power generation element that can store electricity. Specifically, the electrode body 140 is a wound electrode body formed by winding what is arranged in layers so that a separator is sandwiched between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The electrode body 140 may be a laminated electrode body in which flat plate plates are laminated.

It is an electrode plate in which a negative electrode active material layer is formed on the surface of a long strip-like conductive negative electrode current collector foil, and the separator is a microporous sheet. Note that the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator used for the energy storage device 100 are not particularly different from those conventionally used, and any known material can be used as long as the performance of the energy storage device 100 is not impaired. Further, the electrolyte solution (nonaqueous electrolyte) sealed in the container 110 is not particularly limited as long as it does not impair the performance of the power storage device 100, and various types can be selected.

正極端子120は、正極集電体150を介して、電極体140の正極に電気的に接続された電極端子であり、負極端子130は、負極集電体160を介して、電極体140の負極に電気的に接続された電極端子である。つまり、正極端子120及び負極端子130は、電極体140に蓄えられている電気を蓄電素子100の外部空間に導出し、また、電極体140に電気を蓄えるために蓄電素子100の内部空間に電気を導入するための金属製の電極端子である。   The positive electrode terminal 120 is an electrode terminal electrically connected to the positive electrode of the electrode body 140 via the positive electrode current collector 150, and the negative electrode terminal 130 is the negative electrode of the electrode body 140 via the negative electrode current collector 160.

It is an electrode terminal made of metal for introducing.

正極集電体150は、電極体140の正極と容器110の側壁との間に配置され、正極端子120と正極とに電気的に接続される導電性と剛性とを備えた部材である。なお、正極集電体150は、正極の正極集電箔と同様、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金等で形成されている。また、負極集電体160は、電極体140の負極と容器110の側壁との間に配置され、負極端子130と電極体140の負極とに電気的に接続される導電性と剛性とを備えた部材である。なお、負極集電体160は、負極の負極集電箔と同様、銅または銅合金等で形成されている。   The positive electrode current collector 150 is a member that is disposed between the positive electrode of the electrode body 140 and the side wall of the container 110 and has electrical conductivity and rigidity that are electrically connected to the positive electrode terminal 120 and the positive electrode. The positive electrode current collector 150 is made of aluminum, an aluminum alloy, or the like, like the positive electrode current collector foil of the positive electrode. The negative electrode current collector 160 is disposed between the negative electrode of the electrode body 140 and the side wall of the container 110, and has conductivity and rigidity that are electrically connected to the negative electrode terminal 130 and the negative electrode of the electrode body 140.

FIG. 6A includes an enlarged view for explaining the configuration of the cross protrusion 231. FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the configuration of the spacer 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

これらの図に示すように、スペーサ200は、蓄電素子100のZ軸方向側に配置される第一板状部材としての板状部材210と、蓄電素子100のX軸方向の両側及びY軸方向の両側に配置される壁部220とを有する。   As shown in these drawings, the spacer 200 includes a plate-like member 210 as a first plate-like member disposed on the Z-axis direction side of the power storage element 100, both sides of the power storage element 100 in the X-axis direction, and the Y-axis direction. And wall portions 220 disposed on both sides of the main body.

スペーサ200は、板状部材210からZ軸方向の両側に向かって突出している、圧迫突出部211、環状突出部212及び中空突出部213、214を有する。板状部材210は、X−Y平面に沿って形成される、X軸方向に長い矩形状の板状部材である。圧迫突出部211、環状突出部212及び複数の中空突出部213、214は、蓄電素子100及びスペーサ200の間に対して拘束部材400により拘束力が付与された状態で、蓄電素子100に当接する突出部である。   The spacer 200 includes a compression protrusion 211, an annular protrusion 212, and hollow protrusions 213 and 214 that protrude from the plate-like member 210 toward both sides in the Z-axis direction. The plate-like member 210 is a rectangular plate-like member that is formed along the XY plane and is long in the X-axis direction. The compression protrusion 211, the annular protrusion 212, and the plurality of hollow protrusions 213 and 214 are in contact with the power storage element 100 in a state where a restraining force is applied between the power storage element 100 and the spacer 200 by the restraining member 400. It is a protrusion.

圧迫突出部211は、蓄電素子100に当接することで蓄電素子100を圧迫する。圧迫突出部211は、板状部材210の中央付近に形成されており、Z軸方向から見たときにX軸方向に長い矩形状で突出している。つまり、圧迫突出部211は、蓄電素子100の側面の中央に対向する位置に設けられている。   The pressing protrusion 211 presses the power storage element 100 by contacting the power storage element 100. The compression protrusion 211 is formed near the center of the plate-like member 210 and protrudes in a rectangular shape that is long in the X-axis direction when viewed from the Z-axis direction. That is, the pressing protrusion 211 is provided at a position facing the center of the side surface of the power storage element 100.

環状突出部212は、蓄電素子100に向かって環状に突出し、かつ、環状の内方空間を密閉するように蓄電素子100に当接する。環状突出部212は、板状部材210の外周部からZ軸方向の両側に向かって突出している。つまり、スペーサ200は、板状部材210の両側方に設けられる2つの蓄電素子100のそれぞれに向かって突出した2つの環状突出部212を有する。環状突出部212は、壁部220の内側に沿って、圧迫突出部211を囲うように形成されている。つまり、圧迫突出部211は、環状突出部212の内方空間に形成されている。また、環状突出部212は、蓄電素子100の側面の外周部に沿って形成されている。   The annular protrusion 212 protrudes in an annular shape toward the electricity storage element 100 and abuts against the electricity storage element 100 so as to seal the annular inner space. The annular projecting portion 212 projects from the outer peripheral portion of the plate-like member 210 toward both sides in the Z-axis direction. That is, the spacer 200 has two annular protrusions 212 that protrude toward the two power storage elements 100 provided on both sides of the plate-like member 210. The annular protrusion 212 is formed so as to surround the compression protrusion 211 along the inside of the wall 220. That is, the compression protrusion 211 is formed in the inner space of the annular protrusion 212. In addition, the annular protrusion 212 is formed along the outer peripheral portion of the side surface of the electricity storage element 100.

複数の中空突出部213、214は、内方に空間が形成されるように蓄電素子100に向かって突出している。複数の中空突出部213、214は、突出している部分の反対側が、突出している形状に沿うように窪んでいる形状を有する。つまり、複数の中空突出部213、214には、突出している部分の反対側が窪むことにより形成される空間が、内方に形成されている。また、複数の中空突出部213、214は、先端に向かうにつれて突出方向に垂直な方向での間隔が小さくなるように傾斜する形状を有する。つまり、複数の中空突出部213、214は、略円錐台形状で突出している。   The plurality of hollow protrusions 213 and 214 protrude toward the power storage element 100 so that a space is formed inward. The plurality of hollow projecting portions 213 and 214 have a shape in which the opposite side of the projecting portion is recessed so as to follow the projecting shape. That is, in the plurality of hollow projecting portions 213 and 214, a space formed by recessing the opposite side of the projecting portion is formed inward. The plurality of hollow protrusions 213 and 214 have a shape that is inclined so that the distance in the direction perpendicular to the protrusion direction becomes smaller toward the tip. That is, the plurality of hollow projecting portions 213 and 214 project in a substantially truncated cone shape.

複数の中空突出部213、214は、板状部材210からZ軸方向プラス側に突出している複数の第一中空突出部213と、板状部材210からZ軸方向マイナス側に突出している複数の第二中空突出部214とを含む。つまり、第一中空突出部213は、スペーサ200の両側方に設けられる2つの蓄電素子100の一方に向かって突出している。第二中空突出部214は、当該2つの蓄電素子100の他方に向かって突出している。なお、第一中空突出部213及び第二中空突出部214は、互いに反対側に向かって突出していることが異なるだけであり、突出及び陥没している形状は互いに同じである。複数の中空突出部213、214は、環状突出部212の内方空間に、圧迫突出部211を囲うように環状に並んで配置されている。また、複数の第一中空突出部213のそれぞれと、複数の第二中空突出部214のそれぞれとは、交互に配置されている。   The plurality of hollow projecting portions 213 and 214 include a plurality of first hollow projecting portions 213 projecting from the plate-like member 210 to the Z-axis direction plus side and a plurality of hollow projecting portions 213 and 214 projecting from the plate-like member 210 to the Z-axis direction minus side. A second hollow protrusion 214. That is, the first hollow protrusion 213 protrudes toward one of the two power storage elements 100 provided on both sides of the spacer 200. The second hollow protrusion 214 protrudes toward the other of the two power storage elements 100. The first hollow projecting portion 213 and the second hollow projecting portion 214 differ only in projecting toward opposite sides, and the projecting and recessed shapes are the same. The plurality of hollow protrusions 213 and 214 are arranged in an annular shape in the inner space of the annular protrusion 212 so as to surround the compression protrusion 211. In addition, each of the plurality of first hollow protrusions 213 and each of the plurality of second hollow protrusions 214 are alternately arranged.

壁部220は、板状部材210の外縁からZ軸方向の両側に向かって延び、かつ、蓄電素子100の四方を囲むように形成される。つまり、スペーサ200の、蓄電素子100の正面側または背面側の略半分を覆うような凹部は、板状部材210及び壁部220により、形成されている。壁部220は、蓄電素子100のY軸方向プラス側に設けられる壁部221と、蓄電素子100のY軸方向マイナス側に設けられる壁部222と、蓄電素子100のX軸方向プラス側に設けられる壁部223と、蓄電素子100のX軸方向マイナス側に設けられる壁部224とを有する。   Wall portion 220 extends from the outer edge of plate-like member 210 toward both sides in the Z-axis direction, and is formed so as to surround the four sides of power storage element 100. That is, a recess that covers substantially half of the spacer 200 on the front side or the back side of the power storage element 100 is formed by the plate-like member 210 and the wall 220. Wall portion 220 is provided on wall portion 221 provided on the Y axis direction plus side of power storage element 100, wall portion 222 provided on the Y axis direction minus side of power storage device 100, and on the X axis direction plus side of power storage device 100. Wall portion 223 and a wall portion 224 provided on the minus side in the X-axis direction of power storage element 100.

壁部220には、壁部220から壁部220の外方に向かって十字状に突出している十字突出部230が形成されている。具体的には、壁部221には、Y軸方向プラス側に突出する2つの十字突出部231が形成されており、壁部222には、Y軸方向マイナス側に突出する2つの十字突出部232が形成されており、壁部223には、X軸方向プラス側に突出する十字突出部233が形成されており、壁部224には、X軸方向マイナス側に突出する十字突出部234が形成されている。   The wall 220 is formed with a cross protrusion 230 that protrudes in a cross shape from the wall 220 toward the outside of the wall 220. Specifically, the wall portion 221 is formed with two cross protrusion portions 231 that protrude to the Y axis direction plus side, and the wall portion 222 has two cross protrusion portions that protrude to the Y axis direction minus side. 232 is formed, a cross protrusion 233 protruding to the X axis direction plus side is formed on the wall 223, and a cross protrusion 234 protruding to the X axis direction negative side is formed on the wall 224. Is formed.

十字突出部231の形状について図6Aの拡大図を用いて説明する。なお、その他の十字突出部232〜234は、十字突出部231と比較して、突出する方向が異なるだけであり、形状は同一であるため、説明を省略する。図6Aの拡大図に示すように、十字突出部231は、X軸方向に長尺状の形状の主突出部231aを有する。つまり、十字突出部231は、板状部材210に平行な方向に延びる長尺状の形状の主突出部231aが形成されるように、Y軸方向プラス側に向かって突出している。また、十字突出部231は、さらに、長尺状の形状の主突出部231aに交差する長尺状の形状の副突出部231bを有する。つまり、副突出部231bは、Z軸方向に延びる長尺状の形状である。具体的には、十字突出部231は、主突出部231aからZ軸方向の両側に向かって延びる副突出部231bが主突出部231aのX軸方向の両端の2箇所で形成されるように、Y軸方向プラス側に向かって突出している。つまり、十字突出部231は、X軸方向及びZ軸方向に沿った長尺状の形状を有している。さらに言い換えると、十字突出部231は、Y軸方向に向かって十字状に突出している。このように、壁部220には、十字突出部230が形成されているため、拘束部材400により拘束された状態で、板状部材210及び壁部220を含むスペーサ本体部と、拘束部材400との間の間隔を十字突出部230で埋めることができる。つまり、十字突出部230は、スペーサ本体部と拘束部材400との間に配置されている充填部材として機能する。また、十字突出部230は、壁部220から突出するように形成されているため、スペーサ本体部と充填部材とは一体に形成されている。   The shape of the cross protrusion part 231 is demonstrated using the enlarged view of FIG. 6A. The other cruciform protrusions 232 to 234 are different from the cruciform protrusion 231 only in the projecting direction and have the same shape, and thus the description thereof is omitted. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6A, the cross protrusion 231 has a main protrusion 231a having an elongated shape in the X-axis direction. That is, the cross protrusion 231 protrudes toward the Y axis direction plus side so that a long main protrusion 231a extending in a direction parallel to the plate member 210 is formed. The cross protrusion 231 further includes a long-shaped sub-projection 231b that intersects the long-shaped main protrusion 231a. That is, the sub protrusion 231b has a long shape extending in the Z-axis direction. Specifically, the cross protrusion 231 is formed such that the sub protrusions 231b extending from the main protrusion 231a toward both sides in the Z-axis direction are formed at two positions on both ends in the X-axis direction of the main protrusion 231a. It protrudes toward the Y axis direction plus side. That is, the cross protrusion 231 has a long shape along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. In other words, the cross protrusion 231 protrudes in a cross shape in the Y-axis direction. Thus, since the cross protrusion 230 is formed on the wall 220, the spacer main body including the plate-like member 210 and the wall 220, the restraint member 400, and the restraint member 400. Can be filled with the cross protrusion 230. That is, the cross protrusion 230 functions as a filling member disposed between the spacer body and the restraining member 400. Moreover, since the cross protrusion part 230 is formed so that it may protrude from the wall part 220, the spacer main-body part and the filling member are integrally formed.

スペーサ200は、環状突出部212が当接する蓄電素子100の面と交差する面に当接する位置に配置される第二突起部としての複数の突起部241、242を有する。本実施の形態では、スペーサ200は、板状部材210のX軸方向マイナス側の端部と壁部224とに跨がるように形成される4つの突起部241と、板状部材210のY軸方向プラス側の端部と壁部221とに跨がるように形成される4つの突起部242とを有する。   The spacer 200 includes a plurality of protrusions 241 and 242 as second protrusions that are disposed at positions that contact the surface intersecting the surface of the electricity storage element 100 with which the annular protrusion 212 contacts. In the present embodiment, the spacer 200 includes four protrusions 241 formed so as to straddle the end on the negative side in the X-axis direction of the plate-like member 210 and the wall portion 224, and the Y of the plate-like member 210. It has four protrusions 242 formed so as to straddle the end portion on the positive side in the axial direction and the wall portion 221.

複数の突起部241は、スペーサ200の側方の所定の位置に蓄電素子100が配置された場合、蓄電素子100のX軸方向マイナス側の面と当接することにより、蓄電素子100をX軸方向プラス側に向けて付勢する。蓄電素子100は、複数の突起部241によりX軸方向プラス側に向けて付勢されているため、蓄電素子100のX軸方向プラス側の側面が壁部223に当接する。つまり、蓄電素子100は、複数の突起部241及び壁部223により、スペーサ200に対するX軸方向の位置決めがなされる。   When the power storage element 100 is disposed at a predetermined position on the side of the spacer 200, the plurality of protrusions 241 contact the power storage element 100 in the X-axis direction by contacting the negative surface of the power storage element 100 in the X-axis direction. Energize toward the plus side. Since the storage element 100 is urged toward the plus side in the X-axis direction by the plurality of protrusions 241, the side surface on the plus side in the X-axis direction of the storage element 100 comes into contact with the wall part 223. That is, the storage element 100 is positioned in the X-axis direction with respect to the spacer 200 by the plurality of protrusions 241 and the wall part 223.

複数の突起部242は、スペーサ200の側方の所定の位置に蓄電素子100が配置された場合、蓄電素子100のY軸方向プラス側の面と当接することにより、蓄電素子100をY軸方向マイナス側に向けて付勢する。蓄電素子100は、複数の突起部242によりY軸方向マイナス側に向けて付勢されているため、蓄電素子100のY軸方向マイナス側の側面が壁部222に当接する。つまり、蓄電素子100は、複数の突起部242及び壁部222により、スペーサ200に対するY軸方向の位置決めがなされる。   When the power storage element 100 is arranged at a predetermined position on the side of the spacer 200, the plurality of protrusions 242 contact the power storage element 100 on the positive side surface in the Y axis direction, thereby causing the power storage element 100 to move in the Y axis direction. Energize toward the minus side. Since the storage element 100 is biased toward the minus side in the Y-axis direction by the plurality of protrusions 242, the side surface on the minus side in the Y-axis direction of the storage element 100 abuts the wall portion 222. That is, the storage element 100 is positioned in the Y-axis direction with respect to the spacer 200 by the plurality of protrusions 242 and the wall 222.

このように、スペーサ200は、複数の突起部241、242、壁部222及び壁部223が形成されている構成であるため、蓄電素子100とスペーサ200との間のX軸方向及びY軸方向の位置決めを容易にできる。   Thus, since the spacer 200 has a configuration in which the plurality of protrusions 241, 242, the wall 222, and the wall 223 are formed, the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction between the storage element 100 and the spacer 200 are configured. Can be easily positioned.

なお、スペーサ200は、一体に形成されている。つまり、スペーサ200が有する、板状部材210、壁部220、各突出部211、212、213、214、230及び複数の突起部241、242は、上述した材料(樹脂)により、一体成形されることにより形成されている。   The spacer 200 is integrally formed. That is, the plate-like member 210, the wall 220, the protrusions 211, 212, 213, 214, 230 and the plurality of protrusions 241 and 242 included in the spacer 200 are integrally formed of the above-described material (resin). It is formed by.

次に、挟持部材300の構成について、詳細に説明する。   Next, the structure of the clamping member 300 will be described in detail.

図8は、本発明の実施の形態に係る挟持部材310の構成を示す斜視図である。なお、本実施の形態では、挟持部材320は、挟持部材310と向きが異なるだけで、挟持部材310と同様の形状であるため説明を省略する。   FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the clamping member 310 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the sandwiching member 320 has the same shape as that of the sandwiching member 310 except for the direction of the sandwiching member 310, and the description thereof will be omitted.

挟持部材310は、X−Y平面に沿って形成されるX軸方向に長い矩形状の第二板状部材としての板状部材311と、板状部材311からZ軸方向マイナス側に延びており、かつ、蓄電素子100のX軸方向の両側及びY軸方向の両側に配置される接続部312〜315とを有する。挟持部材310は、金属製の部材のZ軸方向マイナス側に樹脂製の部材が重ねられることにより構成される二重構造の部材である。なお、二重構造の挟持部材ではなく、一重構造の挟持部材が採用されてもよい。   The sandwiching member 310 is a plate-like member 311 as a rectangular second plate-like member that is formed along the XY plane and is long in the X-axis direction, and extends from the plate-like member 311 to the negative side in the Z-axis direction. And connection portions 312 to 315 arranged on both sides in the X-axis direction and both sides in the Y-axis direction of the electricity storage device 100. The sandwiching member 310 is a dual structure member configured by overlapping a resin member on the negative side in the Z-axis direction of a metal member. Instead of a double-structured clamping member, a single-structured clamping member may be employed.

接続部312〜315は、板状部材311の外縁からZ軸方向マイナス側に向かって延び、かつ、複数の蓄電素子100のうちZ軸方向プラス側に配置された蓄電素子100aの四方を囲むように形成される。ここで、接続部312は、蓄電素子100aのY軸方向プラス側に設けられる。接続部313は、蓄電素子100aのY軸方向マイナス側に設けられる。接続部314は、蓄電素子100aのX軸方向プラス側に設けられる。接続部315は、蓄電素子100aのX軸方向マイナス側に設けられる。   Connection portions 312 to 315 extend from the outer edge of plate-shaped member 311 toward the negative side in the Z-axis direction, and surround four sides of power storage element 100a arranged on the positive side in the Z-axis direction among a plurality of power storage elements 100. Formed. Here, connection portion 312 is provided on the positive side in the Y-axis direction of power storage element 100a. Connection portion 313 is provided on the negative side in the Y-axis direction of power storage element 100a. Connection portion 314 is provided on the positive side in the X-axis direction of power storage element 100a. Connection portion 315 is provided on the minus side in the X-axis direction of power storage element 100a.

接続部312〜315のそれぞれには、拘束部材400が接続されるためのねじ穴312a、314a(接続部313、315に対応するねじ穴は図示せず)が形成されている。つまり、拘束部材410〜440は、各接続部312〜315に交差する方向で、ボルト等の締結部材411〜441(図9参照)を用いて、各接続部312〜315に設けられたねじ穴312a、314aに対して接続されている。   Screw holes 312a and 314a (screw holes corresponding to the connecting portions 313 and 315 are not shown) for connecting the restraining member 400 are formed in the connecting portions 312 to 315, respectively. That is, the restraining members 410 to 440 are screw holes provided in the connection portions 312 to 315 using fastening members 411 to 441 (see FIG. 9) such as bolts in a direction intersecting with the connection portions 312 to 315. It is connected to 312a, 314a.

接続部312〜315は、挟持部材310のうちの金属製の部材で構成されている部分では、曲げ加工により形成されている。つまり、挟持部材310のうちの金属製の部材で構成されている部分では、板状部材311と接続部312〜315とは一枚の金属製の板状部材に対してプレス加工による曲げ加工が行われることにより形成されている。なお、挟持部材310は、各接続部312〜315において、板状部材311と接続部312〜315のそれぞれとが交差する線に対して交差する方向に沿って打ち込まれることにより形成される複数の補強部312b〜315bを有する。つまり、複数の補強部312b〜315bは、接続部312〜315からスペーサ200側に向かって突出している。複数の補強部312b〜315bは、板状部材311及び接続部312〜315の内面側に跨がるように形成される。つまり、複数の補強部312b〜315bは、板状部材311と接続部312〜315のそれぞれとが交差する線に対して交差する方向(つまり、曲げ加工が行われた曲げの方向)に沿って突出しているため、当該方向における断面係数を向上させることができる。これにより、板状部材311と各接続部312〜315との間の曲げ加工部分の強度を向上させることができる。   The connecting portions 312 to 315 are formed by bending at a portion of the clamping member 310 that is made of a metal member. That is, in the part comprised by the metal members of the clamping member 310, the plate-shaped member 311 and the connection parts 312 to 315 are bent by press working on a single metal plate-shaped member. It is formed by being done. In addition, the clamping member 310 is formed in each connection part 312-315 by being driven along the direction which cross | intersects with respect to the line which the plate-shaped member 311 and each of the connection parts 312-315 cross | intersect. Reinforcing portions 312b to 315b are provided. That is, the plurality of reinforcing portions 312b to 315b protrude from the connecting portions 312 to 315 toward the spacer 200 side. The plurality of reinforcing portions 312b to 315b are formed so as to straddle the inner surfaces of the plate member 311 and the connecting portions 312 to 315. That is, the plurality of reinforcing portions 312b to 315b are along a direction intersecting with a line where the plate-like member 311 and each of the connection portions 312 to 315 intersect (that is, a bending direction in which bending is performed). Since it protrudes, the section modulus in the said direction can be improved. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the bending process part between the plate-shaped member 311 and each connection part 312-315 can be improved.

次に、拘束部材400とスペーサ200との関係について図9及び図10を用いて説明する。   Next, the relationship between the restraining member 400 and the spacer 200 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The cross protrusions 233 and 234 of the spacer 200 are also arranged at different positions in the Y-axis direction. More specifically, the restraining member 430 and the cross protrusion 233 are disposed at positions on the power storage element 100 and the spacer 200 from the plus side in the Y-axis direction, and the restraining member 440 and the cross protrusion 234 are included in the power storage element 100. And the spacer 200 is disposed at a position from the Y axis direction minus side. In addition, the two restraining members 430 and 440 and the cross protrusions 233 and 234 provided corresponding thereto are arranged at positions that are substantially symmetrical with respect to the center of the power storage element 100. That is, the two restraining members 430 and 440 and the cross protrusions 233 and 234 provided corresponding to these are arranged at staggered positions so as not to face each other in the X-axis direction.

また、図10に示すように、拘束部材410、420と、複数の蓄電素子100の間に配置された複数のスペーサ200のそれぞれとの間には、十字突出部231、232が配置されている。つまり、拘束部材410、420と、複数のスペーサ200との間には、複数の十字突出部231、232が配置されている。また、複数の十字突出部231、232は、互いに離間した状態で、拘束部材410、420が延びる方向(つまり、Z軸方向)に並んで設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 10, cross-projections 231 and 232 are disposed between the restraining members 410 and 420 and each of the plurality of spacers 200 disposed between the plurality of power storage elements 100. . That is, a plurality of cross protrusions 231 and 232 are disposed between the restraining members 410 and 420 and the plurality of spacers 200. The plurality of cross protrusions 231 and 232 are provided side by side in the direction in which the restraining members 410 and 420 extend (that is, the Z-axis direction) in a state of being separated from each other.

また、十字突出部231は、板状部材210の延長線上に設けられる。つまり、十字突出部231は、板状部材210をY軸方向プラス側に伸ばした位置に設けられている。なお、図示していないが、他の十字突出部232〜234についても、それぞれ、板状部材210をY軸方向マイナス側、X軸方向プラス側、X軸方向マイナス側に伸ばした位置に設けられている。   The cross protrusion 231 is provided on an extension line of the plate member 210. In other words, the cross protrusion 231 is provided at a position where the plate-like member 210 is extended to the Y axis direction plus side. Although not shown, the other cross protrusions 232 to 234 are also provided at positions where the plate-like members 210 are extended to the Y axis direction minus side, the X axis direction plus side, and the X axis direction minus side, respectively. ing.

また、十字突出部231、232は、挟持部材310の接続部312および補強部312bのZ軸方向マイナス側に設けられる。また、十字突出部231、232は、挟持部材310の接続部および補強部のZ軸方向プラス側に設けられる。さらに、図示していないが、他の十字突出部233、234についても、同様に、それぞれ、挟持部材310、320のX軸方向両端に設けられる接続部および補強部のZ軸方向の両側に設けられる。   The cross protrusions 231 and 232 are provided on the negative side in the Z-axis direction of the connecting portion 312 and the reinforcing portion 312b of the clamping member 310. The cross protrusions 231 and 232 are provided on the positive side in the Z-axis direction of the connecting portion and the reinforcing portion of the clamping member 310. Further, although not shown, the other cross protrusions 233 and 234 are similarly provided on both sides in the Z-axis direction of the connecting portions and the reinforcing portions provided at both ends of the holding members 310 and 320 in the X-axis direction, respectively. It is done.

以上のように、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電装置1によれば、スペーサ本体部と拘束部材400との間に配置されている充填部材としての十字突出部230を有する。つまり、スペーサ本体部と拘束部材400との間に十字突出部230が形成されているため、蓄電装置1に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることを抑制できる。   As described above, the power storage device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the cross protrusion 230 as a filling member disposed between the spacer body and the restraining member 400. In other words, since the cross protrusion 230 is formed between the spacer main body and the restraining member 400, the spacer 200 may be displaced toward the restraining member 400 even if vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device 1. Can be suppressed.

また、スペーサ200と、充填部材としての十字突出部230とは、一体に形成されている。このため、スペーサ200と十字突出部230との間の強度を向上させることができる。このため、蓄電装置1に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、十字突出部230がスペーサ200と拘束部材400との間の所定の位置からずれることを抑制できる。   The spacer 200 and the cross protrusion 230 as a filling member are integrally formed. For this reason, the strength between the spacer 200 and the cross protrusion 230 can be improved. For this reason, even if vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device 1, it is possible to suppress the cross protrusion 230 from being displaced from a predetermined position between the spacer 200 and the restraining member 400.

また、十字突出部230は、スペーサ200の一部であって、蓄電素子100のX軸方向の両側及びY軸方向の両側に配置される壁部220に設けられる。このため、スペーサ200と拘束部材400との間の領域であって、十字突出部230が配置される領域を広げることができる。これにより、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   In addition, the cross protrusion 230 is a part of the spacer 200 and is provided on the wall 220 arranged on both sides in the X-axis direction and both sides in the Y-axis direction of the power storage element 100. For this reason, it is possible to widen an area between the spacer 200 and the restraining member 400 where the cross protrusion 230 is disposed. Thereby, it can suppress more reliably that the spacer 200 shifts toward the restraint member 400.

また、十字突出部230は、板状部材210の延長線上に設けられている。このため、拘束部材400から、スペーサ200に向けた力が加えられる場合、当該力を効率よく板状部材210に伝えることができる。これにより、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   The cross protrusion 230 is provided on an extension line of the plate member 210. For this reason, when a force directed to the spacer 200 is applied from the restraining member 400, the force can be efficiently transmitted to the plate-like member 210. Thereby, it can suppress more reliably that the spacer 200 shifts toward the restraint member 400.

また、十字突出部230は、板状部材210に平行な方向に長尺状の形状の主突出部を有する。つまり、十字突出部230は、Z軸方向に延びる拘束部材400に交差する方向に長尺状の形状を有するため、拘束部材400から主突出部が延びる方向にずれたとしても拘束部材400とスペーサ200との間に位置することができる。これにより、蓄電装置1に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   The cross protrusion 230 has a main protrusion having a long shape in a direction parallel to the plate-like member 210. That is, since the cross protrusion 230 has a long shape in a direction intersecting with the restraining member 400 extending in the Z-axis direction, the restraint member 400 and the spacer even when the main protrusion is displaced from the restraining member 400 in the extending direction. 200. Thereby, even if a vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device 1, the spacer 200 can be more reliably suppressed from being displaced toward the restraining member 400.

また、十字突出部230は、長尺状の形状の主突出部に交差して設けられる形状の副突出部を有する。このため、十字突出部230の強度を向上させることができる。   In addition, the cross protrusion 230 has a sub-projection having a shape provided so as to intersect with the long main projection. For this reason, the strength of the cross protrusion 230 can be improved.

また、拘束部材400は、十字突出部230に付勢力を付与するようにスペーサ200に対して固定されている。つまり、スペーサ200は、十字突出部230を介して拘束部材400により押さえられているため、蓄電装置1に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   Further, the restraining member 400 is fixed to the spacer 200 so as to apply a biasing force to the cross protrusion 230. That is, since the spacer 200 is pressed by the restraining member 400 via the cross protrusion 230, the spacer 200 is more likely to be displaced toward the restraining member 400 even if vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device 1. It can be reliably suppressed.

また、蓄電素子100及びスペーサ200をZ軸方向で挟み込む一対の挟持部材310、320の挟持部材310は、蓄電素子100のZ軸方向プラス側(またはマイナス側)に設けられる板状部材311と、蓄電素子100及びスペーサ200の少なくとも一方のX軸方向の両側及びY軸方向の両側に設けられ、かつ、拘束部材400が接続される接続部312〜315とを有する。また、挟持部材320も、挟持部材310と同様の構成を有する。つまり、拘束部材400とスペーサ200または蓄電素子100との間に挟持部材300の接続部が設けられるような構成であっても、拘束部材400とスペーサ200との間に十字突出部230が設けられているため、接続部が設けられることにより生じる拘束部材400とスペーサ200または蓄電素子100との間の隙間を十字突出部230により埋めることができる。このため、蓄電装置1に振動や衝撃が与えられたとしても、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   In addition, the sandwiching member 310 of the pair of sandwiching members 310 and 320 that sandwich the storage element 100 and the spacer 200 in the Z-axis direction includes a plate-like member 311 provided on the plus side (or minus side) of the storage element 100 in the Z-axis direction, It has connection parts 312 to 315 provided on both sides in the X-axis direction and both sides in the Y-axis direction of at least one of the power storage element 100 and the spacer 200 and to which the restraining member 400 is connected. In addition, the clamping member 320 has the same configuration as that of the clamping member 310. In other words, even if the connection portion of the clamping member 300 is provided between the restraining member 400 and the spacer 200 or the power storage element 100, the cross protrusion 230 is provided between the restraining member 400 and the spacer 200. Therefore, the gap between the restraining member 400 and the spacer 200 or the power storage element 100 generated by providing the connection portion can be filled with the cross protrusion 230. For this reason, even if a vibration or impact is applied to the power storage device 1, the spacer 200 can be more reliably suppressed from being displaced toward the restraining member 400.

また、挟持部材310は、板状部材311及び接続部312〜315の間に跨がって設けられ、スペーサ200に向かって突出する補強部312b〜315bを有する。また、挟持部材320も、挟持部材310と同様の構成を有する。つまり、スペーサ200に向かって突出する補強部が設けられ、拘束部材400とスペーサ200との間にさらに隙間が生じるような構成の挟持部材が採用されていても、拘束部材とスペーサとの間に十字突出部230が設けられているため、当該隙間を十字突出部230により埋めることができる。このため、挟持部材300の強度を向上させつつ、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   The clamping member 310 includes reinforcing portions 312 b to 315 b that are provided across the plate-like member 311 and the connection portions 312 to 315 and project toward the spacer 200. In addition, the clamping member 320 has the same configuration as that of the clamping member 310. In other words, even if a sandwiching member having a configuration in which a reinforcing portion that protrudes toward the spacer 200 is provided and a gap is further generated between the restraining member 400 and the spacer 200 is adopted, Since the cross protrusion 230 is provided, the gap can be filled with the cross protrusion 230. For this reason, it can suppress more reliably that the spacer 200 shifts | deviates toward the restraint member 400, improving the intensity | strength of the clamping member 300. FIG.

また、蓄電装置1の複数のスペーサ200と拘束部材400との間には、複数の十字突出部230が設けられており、複数の十字突出部230は、互いに離間した状態で、拘束部材400が延びる方向(つまり、Z軸方向)に並んで設けられる。つまり、複数の十字突出部230は、拘束部材400と複数のスペーサ200との間にそれぞれが離散的に独立して設けられている。このため、複数の十字突出部230のうちの一の十字突出部230の変形が他の十字突出部230に影響しない。これにより、複数の十字突出部230のそれぞれは、拘束部材400及びスペーサ200に当接しやすくできる。このため、複数のスペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かってずれることをより確実に抑制できる。   In addition, a plurality of cross protrusions 230 are provided between the plurality of spacers 200 and the restraining member 400 of the power storage device 1, and the plurality of cross protrusions 230 are separated from each other, They are arranged side by side in the extending direction (that is, the Z-axis direction). That is, the plurality of cross protrusions 230 are discretely and independently provided between the restraining member 400 and the plurality of spacers 200. For this reason, the deformation of one cross protrusion 230 of the plurality of cross protrusions 230 does not affect the other cross protrusion 230. Thereby, each of the plurality of cross protrusions 230 can easily come into contact with the restraining member 400 and the spacer 200. For this reason, it can suppress more reliably that the some spacer 200 shifts toward the restraint member 400. FIG.

以上、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電装置1について説明したが、本発明は、上記実施の形態に限定されるものではない。つまり、今回開示された実施の形態は全ての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内での全ての変更が含まれることが意図される。   The power storage device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. That is, the embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

例えば、上記実施の形態では、充填部材としての十字突出部230は、スペーサ200と一体に形成されているが、これに限らずに、別体の充填部材が拘束部材とスペーサとの間に設けられる構成であってもよい。また、充填部材としての突出部がスペーサに向かって突出している拘束部材が採用された蓄電装置であってもよい。この場合、スペーサには充填部材としての突出部が形成されていなくてもよいし、スペーサ及び拘束部材の両方に充填部材が設けられていてもよい。なお、拘束部材に形成される充填部材としての突出部は、拘束部材を構成する金属部材を突出させることで形成してもよいし、樹脂からなる別部材を接合するなどして一体化することで形成してもよい。なお、充填部材としては、外力が加わった場合でも蓄電素子100が損傷しにくいように、金属よりも樹脂で構成することが好ましい。   For example, in the above embodiment, the cross protrusion 230 as the filling member is formed integrally with the spacer 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a separate filling member is provided between the restraining member and the spacer. It may be a configuration. Moreover, the electrical storage apparatus with which the restraint member in which the protrusion part as a filling member protrudes toward a spacer may be employ | adopted. In this case, the spacer may not be provided with a protruding portion as a filling member, or both the spacer and the restraining member may be provided with a filling member. The protruding portion as the filling member formed on the restraining member may be formed by projecting a metal member constituting the restraining member, or may be integrated by joining another member made of resin. May be formed. Note that the filling member is preferably made of a resin rather than a metal so that the power storage element 100 is not easily damaged even when an external force is applied.

また、上記実施の形態では、絶縁部材としてのスペーサ200と拘束部材400との間に充填部材としての十字突出部231〜234が形成されているが、充填部材は、スペーサ200と拘束部材400との間に形成されていなくてもよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the cross protrusion parts 231-234 as a filling member are formed between the spacer 200 as an insulating member, and the restraint member 400, a filling member is the spacer 200 and the restraint member 400. It may not be formed between .

また、上記実施の形態では、拘束部材400が充填部材としての十字突出部230に付勢力を付与した状態でスペーサ200に対して固定されているが、これに限らずに、拘束部材400は充填部材に付勢力を付与しておらず、当接しているだけの構成であってもよいし、スペーサ200が拘束部材400に向かって移動することを規制する構成であれば、拘束部材400と充填部材とは必ずしも当接していなくてもよい。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the restraint member 400 is being fixed with respect to the spacer 200 in the state which provided the urging | biasing force to the cross protrusion part 230 as a filling member, not only this but the restraint member 400 is filling The member may be configured such that the member is not in contact with the urging force but is in contact with the member, or the spacer 200 is filled with the restraining member 400 as long as the spacer 200 is restricted from moving toward the restraining member 400. It is not always necessary to contact the member.

また、上記実施の形態では、充填部材としての十字突出部230は、スペーサ200の壁部220に設けられる構成であるが、これに限らない。例えば、壁部が形成されていないスペーサの場合には、当該スペーサと拘束部材との間に充填部材が配置されていればよい。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the cross protrusion part 230 as a filling member is the structure provided in the wall part 220 of the spacer 200, it is not restricted to this. For example, in the case of a spacer in which a wall portion is not formed, it is sufficient that a filling member is disposed between the spacer and the restraining member.

また、上記実施の形態では、充填部材としての十字突出部230は、板状部材210の延長線上に設けられているが、これに限らずに、充填部材は、スペーサと拘束部材との間に配置されていれば、板状部材の延長線上に配置されていなくてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the cross protrusion 230 as the filling member is provided on the extension line of the plate-like member 210. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the filling member is interposed between the spacer and the restraining member. As long as it is arrange | positioned, it does not need to be arrange | positioned on the extension line | wire of a plate-shaped member.

また、上記実施の形態では、充填部材として十字形状に突出した十字突出部230が形成されているが、十字形状に突出していなくてもよく、矩形状や多角形状、円形状、楕円形状等の様々な形状に突出していてもよい。   Further, in the above embodiment, the cross projecting portion 230 that protrudes in a cross shape is formed as the filling member, but it does not have to protrude in the cross shape, and may be a rectangular shape, a polygonal shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or the like. You may protrude in various shapes.

また、上記実施の形態では、挟持部材300には、スペーサ200に向かって(つまり、板状部材311と接続部312〜315との接続部分の内側に向かって)突出する補強部が形成されているが、これに限らずに、拘束部材400(つまり、板状部材と接続部との接続部分の外側)に向かって突出する補強部が形成された挟持部材が採用されてもよい。なお、板状部材と接続部との接続部分の外側に向かって突出する補強部は、外側に向かって打ち込まれることで形成されてもよいし、肉厚部が設けられた板状部材を肉厚部が外側になるように曲げることより形成されてもよい。なお、打ち込みで補強部を形成する場合には、内側に打ち込む方が、作り易いため好ましい。なお、肉厚部は、溶接により肉付けされることで形成されてもよい。なお、肉厚部は、板状部材と接続部との接続部分の内側に設けられる補強部にも適用できる。なお、補強部は、外側に向かって突出させて形成よりも、内側に向かって突出させて形成した方が、板状部材及び接続部の接続部分の内方に突出している部分を収めることができるため、挟持部材の構成をコンパクトにできる。   In the above embodiment, the sandwiching member 300 is formed with a reinforcing portion that protrudes toward the spacer 200 (that is, toward the inside of the connection portion between the plate-like member 311 and the connection portions 312 to 315). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a holding member in which a reinforcing portion that protrudes toward the restraining member 400 (that is, the outside of the connection portion between the plate-like member and the connection portion) is formed may be employed. In addition, the reinforcement part which protrudes toward the outer side of the connection part of a plate-shaped member and a connection part may be formed by driving in toward the outer side, or the plate-shaped member provided with the thick part is made into meat. You may form by bending so that a thick part may become an outer side. In addition, when forming the reinforcement part by driving, it is preferable to drive inward because it is easier to make. The thick part may be formed by being thickened by welding. The thick portion can also be applied to a reinforcing portion provided inside the connection portion between the plate-like member and the connection portion. In addition, the reinforcing part may project the inner part of the connecting part of the plate-like member and the connecting part, rather than the part formed by projecting inward rather than projecting outward. Since it can do, the structure of a clamping member can be made compact.

また、上記実施の形態では、挟持部材300に補強部が形成される形態であるが、拘束部材に補強部が形成されてもよい。なお、拘束部材に形成される補強部としては、拘束部材が延びる方向に延びる突条の突出部が考えられる。この補強部は、拘束部材のうちの最も応力がかかりやすい部分である、挟持部材の接続部と接続されている部分に設けられていてもよい。これにより、蓄電装置に振動や衝撃が与えられても拘束部材が当該部分で変形することを低減できる。また、このような補強部が形成された拘束部材であっても、拘束部材とスペーサとの間には充填部材が設けられる構成であるため、蓄電素子が拘束部材に向かって移動することを防ぐことができる。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the reinforcement part is formed in the clamping member 300, a reinforcement part may be formed in a restraint member. In addition, as a reinforcement part formed in a restraint member, the protrusion part of the protrusion extended in the direction where a restraint member extends can be considered. This reinforcement part may be provided in the part connected with the connection part of the clamping member which is the part to which stress is most easily applied among the restraining members. Thereby, even if a vibration and an impact are given to an electrical storage device, it can reduce that a restricting member changes in the portion concerned. Moreover, even if it is a restraint member in which such a reinforcement part was formed, since it is the structure by which a filling member is provided between a restraint member and a spacer, it prevents that an electrical storage element moves toward a restraint member. be able to.

また、本発明は、このような蓄電装置1として実現することができるだけでなく、蓄電装置1が備えるスペーサ200としても実現することができる。   Further, the present invention can be realized not only as such a power storage device 1 but also as a spacer 200 provided in the power storage device 1.

また、上記実施の形態及びその変形例が備える各構成要素を任意に組み合わせて構築される形態も、本発明の範囲内に含まれる。   In addition, embodiments constructed by arbitrarily combining the constituent elements included in the above-described embodiment and its modifications are also included in the scope of the present invention.

本発明は、蓄電素子と当該蓄電素子の側方に配置されるスペーサとを備える蓄電装置として有用である。   The present invention is useful as a power storage device including a power storage element and a spacer disposed on the side of the power storage element.
