통상적으로, 이차전지(secondary battery)는 충전이 불가능한 일차전지와는 달리, 충전 및 방전이 가능한 전지를 말하는 것으로서, 셀룰라 폰, 노트북 컴퓨터, 캠코더 등의 첨단 전자기기 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, 리튬이차전지는 작동전압이 3.6V로서, 전자장비 전원으로 많이 사용되고 있는 니켈-카드뮴 전지나 니켈-수소 전지보다 3배나 높고, 단위중량당 에너지밀도가 높다는 측면에서 개발 및 보급이 급속도로 신장되고 있는 추세이다.In general, a secondary battery refers to a battery that can be charged and discharged, unlike a primary battery that cannot be charged, and is widely used in the field of advanced electronic devices such as a cellular phone, a notebook computer, a camcorder, and the like. In particular, the lithium secondary battery has an operating voltage of 3.6V, which is three times higher than nickel-cadmium batteries or nickel-hydrogen batteries, which are widely used as power sources for electronic equipment, and rapidly develops and spreads in terms of high energy density per unit weight. There is a trend.

이러한 리튬이차전지는 주로 양극 활물질로 리튬계 산화물, 음극 활물질로는 탄소재를 사용하고 있다. 또한, 리튬이차전지는 여러가지 형상으로 제조되고 있는데, 대표적 형상으로는 원통형과, 각형과, 파우치형을 들 수 있다.Such lithium secondary batteries mainly use lithium-based oxides as positive electrode active materials and carbon materials as negative electrode active materials. Moreover, although lithium secondary batteries are manufactured in various shapes, typical shapes include cylindrical shape, square shape, and pouch type.

이 중 각형 이차전지는 전극조립체와, 이 전극조립체를 수용하는 캔과, 이 캔의 상단 개구부에 결합되는 캡조립체를 포함하여 이루어진다.The rectangular secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, a can containing the electrode assembly, and a cap assembly coupled to an upper opening of the can.

상기 전극조립체는 양극판과 음극판 및 이들 두 전극판 사이에 세퍼레이터가 개재된 상태로 권취되어 있으며, 상기 양극판 및 음극판으로 부터 양극탭 및 음극탭이 각각 인출되어 있다.The electrode assembly is wound with a separator interposed between a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate and the two electrode plates, and a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab are drawn out from the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, respectively.

상기 캔은 각형 이차전지에서 대략 직육면체의 형상을 가진 금속재질의 용기이며, 딥 드로잉(deep drawing) 등의 가공방법으로 형성한다.The can is a metal container having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in a rectangular secondary battery, and is formed by a processing method such as deep drawing.

전극조립체의 한 전극은 전극탭과 단자플레이트를 통해 전극단자와 전기적으로 연결되고, 다른 전극은 이와 연결되는 전극탭을 통해 캡플레이트나 캔에 전기적으로 연결된다. 그리고, 단자플레이트의 하부에는 전극조립체와 캡조립체 사이를 절연하는 절연케이스가 설치된다.One electrode of the electrode assembly is electrically connected to the electrode terminal through the electrode tab and the terminal plate, and the other electrode is electrically connected to the cap plate or the can through the electrode tab connected thereto. In addition, an insulating case is installed below the terminal plate to insulate the electrode assembly from the cap assembly.

이와 같이 구성되어 조립되는 종래 각형 이차전지에서 캔 내부에 조립된 전극조립체의 상,하 유동을 방지하기 위하여 종래에는 캔 상단부에서 전극조립체의 직상부측에 별도로 비딩(beading)부를 형성하게 된다.In order to prevent the up and down flow of the electrode assembly assembled inside the can in the conventional rectangular secondary battery constructed and assembled as described above, a beading part is separately formed at the upper end of the electrode assembly at the upper end of the can.

그러나 이처럼 비딩부는 전극조립체가 캔 내부에 삽입된 상태에서 형성되기 때문에 정확한 위치에 가공하도록 효율적으로 관리하기도 어렵고, 원통형 전지가 아닌 각형 전지에서 비딩부를 형성하기 위해서는 추가 설비를 설치해야 하는 비용의 부담이 있다.However, since the bead portion is formed in the state where the electrode assembly is inserted into the can, it is difficult to efficiently manage the processing at the correct position, and the cost of additional equipment is required to form the bead portion in the rectangular battery instead of the cylindrical battery. have.

이하에서, 첨부된 도면을 참조하면서 본 발명에 따른 이차전지에 관한 바람직한 실시예를 상세하게 설명하고자 한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of a secondary battery according to the present invention.

도 1 은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 이차전지를 나타내는 분해상태의 사시도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 절연케이스의 평면도이다.1 is a perspective view of an exploded state showing a secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a plan view of the insulating case of FIG.

도 1 및 도 2에 도시한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 이차전지(100)는 캔(100)의 내부에 수납되는 전극조립체(120)와, 캔(100)에 전극조립체(120)가 수납된 상태에서 캔(100)의 상단 개구부에 결합되는 캡 조립체(130)와, 전극조립체(120)와 캡조립체(100) 사이에 개재되어 이들을 절연시키는 절연케이스(140)를 포함한다. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the secondary battery 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode assembly 120 accommodated in the can 100 and an electrode assembly 120 in the can 100. ) And a cap assembly 130 coupled to the top opening of the can 100 in a state where it is received, and an insulating case 140 interposed between the electrode assembly 120 and the cap assembly 100 to insulate them.

이와 같이 구성되는 본 발명에 의한 각형 리튬 이차전지의 작용을 도 3을 참조하여 설명한다.The operation of the square lithium secondary battery according to the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

본 발명에 의한 전지의 조립순서는 캔(110)의 내부에 전극조립체(120)를 수용시키고, 상기 전극조립체(120)의 상부에 절연케이스(140)를 안착시킨다. 이때, 상기 절연케이스(140)의 좌우 양측벽의 외주면에 코팅된 코팅층(150)에 의해 절연케이스(140)는 캔(110)의 내벽면에 억지끼움식으로 밀착되어 전극조립체(120)의 상부에 안착된다. The assembly sequence of the battery according to the present invention accommodates the electrode assembly 120 in the can 110, and seats the insulating case 140 on the electrode assembly 120. At this time, the insulating case 140 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the can 110 by the coating layer 150 coated on the outer circumferential surfaces of the left and right side walls of the insulating case 140 to the top of the electrode assembly 120. Is seated on.

따라서 절연케이스(140)의 좌우 양측 외벽면에 형성된 코팅층(150)에 의해 절연케이스(140)와 캔(110)과의 틈새가 없는 상태로 밀착되어 고정되므로 절연케이스(140)에 의해 전극조립체(120)의 상,하 유동이 방지되는 것이다.Therefore, the electrode assembly is formed by the insulating case 140 because the insulating layer 140 is tightly fixed by the coating layer 150 formed on the left and right outer wall surfaces of the insulating case 140 without a gap between the insulating case 140 and the can 110. The up and down flow of 120 is to be prevented.

본 발명의 일 실시예에서는 절연케이스의 장변방향으로 좌우 양측벽의 외주면에 코팅층을 형성하였으나, 절연케이스의 전체 벽면중에서 일부 벽면의 외주면에 부분적으로 코팅층을 형성하더라도 캔의 내주면과 맞닿은 부위에서 코팅층에 의해 절연케이스가 캔의 내주면에 압입상태로 고정되므로 전극조립체의 유동을 방지하게 된다.In one embodiment of the present invention, the coating layer is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the left and right side walls in the long side direction of the insulating case, even though the coating layer is partially formed on the outer circumferential surface of some walls of the entire wall surface of the insulating case, the coating layer is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the can. The insulating case is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the can in a press-fit state to prevent the flow of the electrode assembly.

이후 조립이 완료된 캡조립체(130)를 캔(110)의 상단개구부에 결합고정하고 전해액을 주입하면 베어셀의 조립이 완료된다.After the assembly is completed, the cap assembly 130 is fixed and coupled to the upper opening of the can 110 and the electrolyte is injected, the assembly of the bare cell is completed.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 의한 각형 리튬 이차전지는 캔 내부에서 전극조립체의 상부에 안착되는 절연케이스를 이용하여 전극조립체가 캔 내부에서 상하방향으로 유동되어 발생되는 불량을 방지할 수 있어 전지의 제조비용을 절감하는 효과가 있다.As described above, the prismatic lithium secondary battery according to the present invention can prevent the defect caused by the electrode assembly flows up and down in the can by using an insulating case seated on the upper portion of the electrode assembly in the can. It is effective to reduce the manufacturing cost of the.
