In this method, battery electrode plates are manufactured by the following method in order to increase the capacity density. The active material mixture is laminated onto the conductive core. The laminate is repeatedly pressed with a roller having an uneven surface. After that, pressure is applied using a roller with a smooth surface.

なるからである。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional manufacturing methods for battery plates described in these publications have the disadvantage that the mixture sheet is easily cut when filling the conductive core with the mixture sheet. be. This is because the roller presses and rolls the surface of the mixture sheet linearly. The linearly pressurized mixture sheet moves horizontally at the pressed portion to release the pressure. That is, when the roller locally presses the mixture sheet, the mixture sheet in the pressed area moves to the unpressed area. When the pressing force is increased, the amount of movement of the mixture sheet increases. To move the mixture sheet horizontally,
This prevents the conductive core from being densely packed with the mixture sheet. This is because when the mixture sheet escapes laterally, the pressure applied by the roller decreases, and it is no longer pushed into the gap in the conductive core.

来なくなるからである。[0007] By increasing the pressure with which the roller presses the mixture sheet, the conductive core can be filled with the mixture sheet at high density. However, it is not possible to increase the roller pressure significantly. This is because the mixture sheet breaks and cannot be manufactured continuously.

足することができない。[0008] Unfortunately, a perforated plate or a mesh material is used for the conductive core so that the mixture sheet can be densely filled. This shape of the conductive core facilitates cutting of the mixture sheet when pressed by a roller, compared to a plate material of uniform thickness. This is because when the mixture sheet is pressed against the conductive core having this shape, the mixture sheet partially becomes extremely thin and easily breaks. For this reason, in the conventional method, filling the conductive core with the mixture sheet at high density and eliminating the breakage of the mixture sheet are mutually contradictory characteristics, and it is necessary to satisfy both characteristics. I can't.

Therefore, an important object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a battery electrode plate that can minimize cutting of the mixture sheet during the manufacturing process. Another important object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a battery plate that can minimize meandering of the battery plate during the manufacturing process. Furthermore, another important object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a battery electrode plate that can continuously and efficiently produce hoop-shaped battery electrode plates.

A third step (2) in which the conductive core 2 on which the mixture sheet 1 is laminated is applied to both sides of the conductive core 2 and pressed flatly to produce the strip-shaped electrode plate 3.

This method is characterized by comprising a fifth step of cutting the strip-shaped electrode plate 3 into electrodes.

Instead, it is pressed flat with the press 4. A flat press does not press the mixture sheet linearly like a roller. The planar pressing surface is pressed in the vertical direction to sandwich the mixture sheet 1 and the conductive core 2 in close contact with each other. Since roller pressure is applied after press pressure, it is possible to supply the strip-shaped electrode plates evenly and continuously.

Battery plates are manufactured through the following steps. The active material mixture is pressed with a hot roller 5 to form a mixture sheet 1. Mixture sheet 1
is placed on the belt conveyor 6 and the conductive core 2. In this state, the mixture sheet 1 is laminated on both sides of the conductive core 2. The mixture sheet 1 carried on the belt conveyor 6 and the conductive core 2 is not directly subjected to tensile force, and therefore is moved without being cut on the way. The sandwich-like laminate of the conductive core 2 and the mixture sheet 1 is carried into a dryer 7. The internal temperature of the dryer 7 is set to about 150° C., and the mixture sheet 1 is dried to a moisture content of 3% or less. The laminate discharged from the dryer 7 is pressed by the press 4. In this step, the mixture sheet 1 is densely packed into the gap between the conductive cores 2 and bonded.

い。In the conventional method, the conductive core was filled with the mixture sheet by pressing the laminate with a roller in this step. Since the roller presses the mixture sheet in a linear manner, shearing force is applied. For this reason, battery plates pressurized by rollers are
The elongation rate increases, making it impossible to fill with high density.

ない。On the other hand, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, instead of applying roller pressure, the mixture sheet 1 is pressed on both sides with the smooth surface of the press 4, and then roller pressure is applied. That is, in the method of the present invention, the conductive core 2 is filled with the mixture sheet 1 by applying pressure in a plane, not in a line. Unlike rollers, shearing force does not act on the mixture sheet 1 that is pressed flat. Therefore, the elongation rate of the conductive core 2 can be reduced and the mixture sheet 1 can be filled into the conductive core 2 with high density. Furthermore, the mixture sheet 1 is pressed flatly and filled into the conductive core 2. The mixture sheet 1 pressurized in this state moves very little in the horizontal direction, and is densely packed into the conductive core 2. Furthermore, since pressure is applied in a flat manner, the pressed battery electrode plate can be made completely flat and sagging can be prevented. Furthermore, even if a hoop-shaped electrode plate is manufactured, it will not meander.

特長を実現する。Effects of the Invention The method for manufacturing a battery electrode plate of the present invention allows filling a conductive core with a mixture sheet in an ideal state. It is made by laminating easily deformable mixture sheets on both sides of a conductive core.
This is because the pressure is applied from both sides. The mixture sheet pressed in this state has very little movement in the horizontal direction. This is because a press that presses flatly does not press locally like a roller, so the mixture sheet does not move to areas where no pressure is applied. Therefore, the pressure applied by the press to press the mixture sheet in a plane effectively acts on the entire pressed portion of the mixture sheet, and the conductive core is filled with high density. Furthermore, if pressure is applied in this state, the breakage of the mixture sheet can be minimized even though the pressure acting on the mixture sheet becomes substantially higher. The reason for this is that the mixture sheet moves horizontally, creating thin sections. For this reason, the method of the present invention can produce high-density battery plates.
It has the extremely excellent feature of being able to be manufactured efficiently and without cutting.

く多量生産できる特長がある。Furthermore, in the present invention, mixture sheets are laminated on both sides of the conductive core and pressed flat. In addition to being able to fill both sides of the conductive core with mixture sheets in one step, this method also allows the mixture sheets located on both sides of the conductive core to be filled with high density by sandwiching the conductive core between them. Filled. Therefore, the method of the present invention has the advantage of being able to efficiently mass-produce battery plates.
