本発明は、蓄電素子と隣り合う終端部材を備える蓄電装置に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a power storage device including a terminating member adjacent to a power storage element.

従来から、筐体の壁等に固定される電池モジュールが知られている(特許文献1参照)。具体的に、この電池モジュールは、図8に示すように、一方向に配列された複数の二次電池501から構成される電池群501Aと、この電池群501Aの両側に配置されたエンドプレート510と、を有している。 Conventionally, there has been known a battery module fixed to a wall of a housing or the like (see Patent Document 1). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, this battery module includes a battery group 501A composed of a plurality of secondary batteries 501 arranged in one direction, and end plates 510 arranged on both sides of the battery group 501A. and have

二次電池501は、例えば直方体形状のケース内に電極組立体が収容されてなるリチウムイオン二次電池である。エンドプレート510は、筐体502の壁502aにボルト503及びナット504で固定され、複数の二次電池501を二次電池501の配列方向の両側から拘束する。エンドプレート510は、L字状を呈している。エンドプレート510は、挟持部511と、この挟持部511の一端から垂直に屈曲した固定部512と、を有している。固定部512には、ボルト503の軸部503aが通る複数の挿通孔513が設けられている。固定部512には、複数のナット504が挿通孔513を覆うように溶接で固定されている。 The secondary battery 501 is, for example, a lithium ion secondary battery in which an electrode assembly is accommodated in a rectangular parallelepiped case. The end plate 510 is fixed to the wall 502a of the housing 502 with bolts 503 and nuts 504, and restrains the plurality of secondary batteries 501 from both sides in the direction in which the secondary batteries 501 are arranged. The end plate 510 is L-shaped. The end plate 510 has a holding portion 511 and a fixing portion 512 vertically bent from one end of the holding portion 511 . The fixing portion 512 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 513 through which the shaft portions 503a of the bolts 503 pass. A plurality of nuts 504 are fixed to the fixing portion 512 by welding so as to cover the insertion holes 513 .

この電池モジュール500を筐体502に取り付けるときは、電池モジュール500を筐体502内に収容し、エンドプレート510にそれぞれ固定されたナット504を筐体502の挿通孔502bの位置に合わせる。そして、筐体502の外側からボルト503の軸部503aを筐体502の挿通孔502b及びエンドプレート510の挿通孔513に通してナット504と螺合させ、ボルト503をナット504に対して締め付ける。これにより、電池モジュール500が筐体502に固定される。 When attaching the battery module 500 to the housing 502 , the battery module 500 is accommodated in the housing 502 and the nuts 504 fixed to the end plates 510 are aligned with the insertion holes 502 b of the housing 502 . Then, the shaft portion 503a of the bolt 503 is passed through the insertion hole 502b of the housing 502 and the insertion hole 513 of the end plate 510 from the outside of the housing 502 and screwed with the nut 504, and the bolt 503 is tightened to the nut 504. Thereby, the battery module 500 is fixed to the housing 502 .

以上の電池モジュール500では、筐体502に振動が加わると、該振動の前記配列方向成分によって二次電池501が前記配列方向に振動等することで挟持部511が電池群501Aによって押圧される。このとき、固定部512が筐体502に固定されているため、挟持部511が固定部512を支点にして倒れるようにエンドプレート510が変形しようとし、これにより、挟持部511の固定部512側において応力集中が生じ、その結果、エンドプレート510が損傷する場合があった。 In the battery module 500 described above, when the casing 502 is vibrated, the secondary battery 501 vibrates in the array direction due to the array direction component of the vibration, and the clamping portion 511 is pressed by the battery group 501A. At this time, since the fixed portion 512 is fixed to the housing 502, the end plate 510 tries to deform so that the holding portion 511 falls down with the fixed portion 512 as a fulcrum, and as a result, the holding portion 511 is moved toward the fixed portion 512 side. In some cases, stress concentration occurs at , resulting in damage to the end plate 510 .

前記終端部材は、
前記第一方向と直交する面方向に沿って広がる本体と、
前記本体における前記第一方向と直交する第二方向の端部である第一端部と連接し且つ固定対象物に固定可能な固定部と、を有し、
前記本体における前記第一方向及び前記第二方向と直交する第三方向の端部である第二端部では、前記第二方向における固定部側の端部を含む第一部位と、前記第二方向において前記第一部位と隣接する第二部位とが、前記本体における該第二端部と前記第三方向において隣接する部位に対して互いに反対側に曲がると共に、該第一部位と該第二部位との境界部が捻じれている。

Vibration or the like is applied to the power storage device 1 in a state where the power storage device 1 is fixed to the target object), and when the main body 41 is pressed by the power storage element 2 and the terminal member 40 tries to deform so as to fall down with the fixing portion 42 as a fulcrum, the boundary The portion B expands (that is, deforms so as to untwist) to absorb the stress caused by the pressing, thereby suppressing damage to the termination member 40 .

また、本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、固定部42の第三端部422が、本体41の第二端部43における第一部位431と連続し、且つ、固定部42の隣接部位423に対して第一部位431が位置する側に曲がっている。このように、本体41と固定部42との境界部を含む終端部材40のY軸方向の端部(第一部位431と第三端部422)が、該端部とY軸方向において隣接する部位(隣接部位433、423)に対して曲がっている(いわゆるリブ形状を構成している)ことで、本体41と固定部42との境界部(曲がっている部位)の強度を確保することができる。 Further, in the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment, the third end portion 422 of the fixing portion 42 is continuous with the first portion 431 of the second end portion 43 of the main body 41 and is connected to the adjacent portion 423 of the fixing portion 42 . is bent toward the side where the first portion 431 is located.

尚、本発明の蓄電装置は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々変更を加え得ることは勿論である。例えば、ある実施形態の構成に他の実施形態の構成を追加することができ、また、ある実施形態の構成の一部を他の実施形態の構成に置き換えることができる。さらに、ある実施形態の構成の一部を削除することができる。 It should be noted that the power storage device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the configuration of one embodiment can be added to the configuration of another embodiment, and part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment. Furthermore, some of the configurations of certain embodiments can be deleted.

上記実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一部位431と第二部位432との境界部Bが捻じれている第二端部43が、Y軸方向における終端部材40の両端部にそれぞれ配置されているが、この構成に限定されない。第一部位431と第二部位432との境界部Bが捻じれている第二端部43が、Y軸方向における終端部材40の一方の端部のみに形成されていてもよい。かかる構成によっても、終端部材40の本体41が蓄電素子2によって押圧されたときに、境界部Bが伸びる(捻じれが戻るように変形する)ことで、前記押圧に起因する応力が吸収される。これにより、終端部材40の損傷が抑えられる。 In the power storage device 1 of the above embodiment, the second end portions 43 in which the boundary portion B between the first portion 431 and the second portion 432 is twisted are arranged at both ends of the terminal member 40 in the Y-axis direction. but not limited to this configuration. The second end portion 43 where the boundary portion B between the first portion 431 and the second portion 432 is twisted may be formed only at one end portion of the termination member 40 in the Y-axis direction. With such a configuration, when the main body 41 of the terminal member 40 is pressed by the power storage element 2, the boundary portion B expands (deforms so as to untwist), thereby absorbing the stress caused by the pressing. . As a result, damage to the termination member 40 is suppressed.

第二端部43における境界部Bの位置は限定されない。固定部42が設置面(固定対象物)に固定された状態で本体41が蓄電素子2に押されて固定部42を支点に倒れるように終端部材40が変形しようとしたときに、終端部材40の固定部42周辺で生じる応力を吸収させて該部位(固定部42周辺)での応力集中を効果的に抑えるためには、捻じれ形状の境界部Bが、第二端部43における固定部42に近い位置に配置されることが好ましい。 The position of the boundary portion B in the second end portion 43 is not limited. When the main body 41 is pushed by the power storage element 2 in a state where the fixed portion 42 is fixed to the installation surface (fixed object) and the terminating member 40 is about to be deformed so as to fall down with the fixing portion 42 as a fulcrum, the terminating member 40 In order to absorb the stress generated around the fixing portion 42 of the second end portion 43 and effectively suppress the stress concentration at the portion (around the fixing portion 42), the twisted boundary portion B It is preferably positioned close to 42 .

しかし、捻じれ形状の境界部Bが、第二端部43においてZ軸方向のいずれかの位置に配置されていれば、境界部Bがバネ性を有しているため、振動等によって蓄電素子2等から終端部材40に力が加わったときに境界部Bの捻じれが戻るように変形することで終端部材40における境界部B周辺に生じる応力が吸収される。これにより、終端部材40の損傷が抑えられる。 However, if the twisted boundary portion B is arranged at any position in the Z-axis direction at the second end portion 43, the boundary portion B has a spring property, so that vibration or the like causes the power storage element to move. When a force is applied to the termination member 40 from 2 or the like, the boundary portion B is deformed so that the twist is restored, thereby absorbing the stress generated around the boundary portion B in the termination member 40 . As a result, damage to the termination member 40 is suppressed.
