- the cylindrical battery 1 is generally manufactured by the following procedure. Temporary sealing ⁇ Injection ⁇ Main sealing
- the gasket 21 is attached to the flange portion 14 of the external terminal member 13. Then, the electrode winding body 50 is inserted into the cylindrical case 10. At this time, the internal terminal member 25 enters the cylindrical case 10 first. Then, the entire electrode winding body 50 is put inside the position where the neck 19 in the cylindrical case 10 is to be formed. However, the flange portion 14 of the external terminal member 13 is in a state of being outside in the axial direction from the position where the neck 19 is to be formed. At this time, the pressure contact portion 27 of the internal terminal member 25 comes into contact with the inner surface 28 of the lower end 12 of the cylindrical case 10.
- the neck 19 is formed on the cylindrical case 10 by press working.
- the neck 19 is formed at a position between the electrode winding body 50 and the flange portion 14.
- the cylindrical case 10 in which the neck 19 is formed is used.
- the inner diameter R3 of the neck 19 is made smaller than the outer diameter R1 of the flange portion 14.
- the external terminal member 13 is further pushed inward in the axial direction of the cylindrical case 10. Then, the external terminal member 13 stops when the flange portion 14 contacts the neck 19. At this time, the external terminal member 13 is not pressed too strongly.
- FIG. 4 shows the vicinity of the upper end 11 in this state.
- the gasket 21 is sandwiched between the flange portion 14 of the external terminal member 13 and the cylindrical case 10. More specifically, the diaphragm portion 23 of the gasket 21 is sandwiched between the lower surface of the flange portion 14 in the drawing and the upper surface of the neck 19 in the drawing. Further, the cylindrical portion 22 of the gasket 21 is sandwiched between the side surface of the flange portion 14 and the inner surface of the cylindrical case 10 above the neck 19.
- the external terminal member 13 is lightly fixed to the upper end 11 of the cylindrical case 10 and is not easily detached from the cylindrical case 10.
- the inner surface of the cylindrical case 10 and the gasket 21 are not strongly pressed against each other. For this reason, when the pressure inside the cylindrical case 10 increases, the air can escape from between the inner surface of the cylindrical case 10 and the gasket 21. That is, it is in a state where temporary sealing has been performed and main sealing has not yet been performed.
- the external terminal member 13 in this state only stops when it contacts the neck 19, and does not completely seal the upper end 11 of the cylindrical case 10. For this reason, when the pressure inside the cylindrical case 10 increases, a gap is formed between the inner surface of the cylindrical case 10 and the gasket 21, and air can escape therefrom.
- the space between the inner surface of the cylindrical case 10 and the gasket 21 is used as an air escape path over the entire circumference. Therefore, the air can be easily removed during injection, and the injection can be performed smoothly. Thereby, the impregnation property of the electrolyte solution between the electrode strips is also good.
- the inside of the cylindrical case 10 may be depressurized in advance before the injection. Even in that case, since there is residual air, the good air releasing property of this embodiment is significant.
- the external terminal member 13 and the gasket 21 are in close contact with each other.
- the gasket 21 and the inner surface of the cylindrical case 10 are also in close contact with each other.
- the space between the external terminal member 13 and the cylindrical case 10 at the upper end 11 is sealed. This is the main sealing.
- the cap 18 is put on the outer side portion 16 of the external terminal member 13.
- the through-hole 17 is sealed.
- the electrolytic solution in the cylindrical case 10 does not leak to the outside. This completes the cylindrical battery 1 of this embodiment.
- the neck 19 is formed on the cylindrical case 10. Then, liquid injection is performed in a temporarily sealed state in which the external terminal member 13 is pushed in until it contacts the neck 19, and then the main sealing is performed. Thus, by injecting liquid in a temporarily sealed state, an air escape route is secured. Further, since the external terminal member 13 is a single component, an extra joining step is unnecessary. For this reason, productivity and reliability are high. Thereby, the cylindrical battery 1 which is a cylindrical type and has both liquid injection property and productivity, and the manufacturing method thereof are realized.
- FIG. 5 The principal part of the cylindrical battery which concerns on a 2nd form is shown in FIG.
- the cylindrical battery 2 in FIG. 5 is obtained by replacing the gasket 21 in the cylindrical battery 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG.
- FIG. 6 shows the gasket 30 in a state before being incorporated in the cylindrical battery 2.
- the 6 includes a large-diameter portion 31, a diaphragm portion 32, and a small-diameter portion 33.
- the large diameter portion 31 corresponds to the cylindrical portion 22 and the diaphragm portion 24 in the first embodiment
- the diaphragm portion 32 corresponds to the diaphragm portion 23 in the first embodiment.
- the small diameter portion 33 is formed downward in FIG. 6 on the inner peripheral side of the diaphragm portion 32. That is, the small-diameter portion 33 is at a position on the inner side in the axial direction than the diaphragm portion 32 in a state where it is incorporated in the cylindrical battery 2.

Abstract
Description
第1の形態に係る円筒電池は,図1に示すように構成されている。図1に示す円筒電池1は,円筒ケース10に,電極捲回体50を収納してなるものである。円筒ケース10の図中上端11は,もともと開放端であったものが封止された端部である。円筒ケース10の下端12は,密閉端である。電極捲回体50は,正負の電極帯が,平巻き状ではなく円筒巻き状に捲回されたものである。
・電極捲回体50に外部端子部材13および内部端子部材25を接続したものであって,電解液の含浸をしていないもの
・ガスケット21
・円筒ケース10であって,ネック19やかしめ部20が形成されていないもの
・電解液
・キャップ18
仮封止 → 注液 → 本封止
まず,外部端子部材13のフランジ部14に,ガスケット21を装着する。そして,円筒ケース10に電極捲回体50を挿入する。このとき,内部端子部材25が先に円筒ケース10に入るようにする。そして,電極捲回体50の全部を円筒ケース10におけるネック19が形成されるべき位置より内側に入れる。ただし,外部端子部材13のフランジ部14は,ネック19が形成されるべき位置より軸方向外側にある状態とする。このとき,内部端子部材25の圧接部27が,円筒ケース10の下端12の内面28に接触した状態となる。
この状態で注液を行う。すなわち図4中,外部端子部材13の貫通孔17を通して,円筒ケース10の内部に電解液を注入する。注入された電解液は,まず電極捲回体50の中に入り,そこから電極帯の間に含浸していく。このとき,円筒ケース10の中に存在していたエアは,円筒ケース10の内面とガスケット21との間を通って外部へ抜けていく。
注液の後に,本封止を行う。すなわち,図4中の円筒ケース10の上端部29を,径方向内側に折り曲げる。いわゆるカシメである。これにより,円筒ケース10の上端部29が図1中のかしめ部20となる。このカシメをした状態では,かしめ部20により,ガスケット21のダイヤフラム部24が,外部端子部材13のフランジ部14の図中上側の面に押し付けられている。またこれにより,外部端子部材13自体もネック19に押し付けられる状態となっている。
第2の形態に係る円筒電池の要部を,図5に示す。図5の円筒電池2は,図1に示した第1の形態の円筒電池1におけるガスケット21を,ガスケット30で置き換えたものである。他の部分は第1の形態と共通である。円筒電池2に組み込む前の状態でのガスケット30を図6に示す。
仮封止 → 注液 → 本封止
の製造手順で製造される点では,第1の形態の製造手順と共通する。ただ,本形態においては,電極捲回体50と外部端子部材13とを接合する前に,先に外部端子部材13にガスケット30を装着しておく必要がある。
本形態における仮封止状態を図8に示す。図8の状態は,外部端子部材13を,ガスケット30の突起部34がネック19に当接するまで,円筒ケース10に押し込んだ状態である。この状態では,ガスケット30の小径部33がネック19の中に入り込んでいる。また,突起部34がネック19の図中上側に引っ掛かって停止している。前述のようにR5がR3より大きいからである。ここで,外部端子部材13を強く押し込めば,突起部34がネック19を乗り越えてしまう。ガスケット30は柔軟な材質でできており,変形できるからである。しかし,この時点ではそこまでは押し込まずに,図8の状態でとどめる。
本形態でも,仮封止状態で,外部端子部材13の貫通孔17を通して注液を行う。本形態では,円筒ケース10の中に存在していたエアは,図9に示した隙間35を通って破線の矢印Dのように脱出していく。さらに,図8中の破線の矢印Cのように,円筒ケース10とガスケット30との間の隙間を通って外部へ脱出する。このように,エアの脱出経路となる隙間が確保されている。したがって,注液時のエア抜け性がよく,注液をスムーズに行うことができる。これにより,電極帯の間への電解液の含浸性もよい。
本形態では,注液後,カシメを行う前に,外部端子部材13を強く押し込む。実際には,注液終了後に注液ノズルで外部端子部材13を押し込めばよい。これによりガスケット30が変形するので,突起部34がネック19を乗り越えて,図10に示す状態となる。図10の状態では,突起部34がネック19の図中すぐ下に位置している。すなわち,突起部34とダイヤフラム部32との間にネック19が位置している。また,外部端子部材13のフランジ部14の図中下側の面と,ネック19の図中上側の面との間に,ガスケット30のダイヤフラム部32が挟み込まれている。また,フランジ部14の側面と,円筒ケース10におけるネック19より上の部分の内面との間に,ガスケット30の大径部31が挟み込まれている。
第3の形態に係る円筒電池の要部を,図11に示す。図11の円筒電池3は,図5に示した第2の形態の円筒電池2におけるガスケット30をガスケット36で置き換え,さらに外部端子部材13を外部端子部材37で置き換えたものである。他の部分は第2の形態と共通である。円筒電池3に組み込む前の状態でのガスケット36を図12に示す。
仮封止 → 注液 → 本封止
の製造手順で製造される点では,第1および第2の形態の製造手順と共通する。本形態においても,電極捲回体50と外部端子部材37とを接合する前に,先に外部端子部材37にガスケット36を装着しておく必要がある。ただし,フランジ部43が突起部41を乗り越えない程度にとどめておく。
本形態における仮封止状態を図15に示す。図15の状態は,外部端子部材37を,そのフランジ部43がガスケット36の突起部41に当接するまで,円筒ケース10に押し込んだ状態である。この状態では,ガスケット36の小径部40がネック19の中に入り込んでいる。また,フランジ部43が突起部41の図中上側に引っ掛かって停止している。前述のようにR7がR8より大きいからである。ここで,外部端子部材37を強く押し込めば,フランジ部43が突起部41を乗り越えてしまう。しかし,この時点ではそこまでは押し込まずに,図15の状態でとどめる。なお,このとき,フランジ部43の凹部42と突起部41とが周方向に同じ方角に位置するようにする。
本形態でも,仮封止状態で,外部端子部材37の貫通孔17を通して注液を行う。本形態では,円筒ケース10の中に存在していたエアは,図16中の破線の矢印Eのように,隙間44を通って外部へ脱出していく。このように,エアの脱出経路が確保されているので,注液をスムーズに行うことができる。電極帯の間への電解液の含浸性もよい。
本形態でも,注液後,カシメを行う前に,注液ノズルで外部端子部材37を強く押し込む。これによりガスケット36が変形するので,フランジ部43が突起部41を乗り越えて,図17に示す状態となる。図17の状態では,フランジ部43が突起部41の図中すぐ下に位置している。すなわち,突起部41とダイヤフラム部39との間にフランジ部43が位置している。また,外部端子部材37のフランジ部43の図中下側の面と,ネック19の図中上側の面との間に,ガスケット36のダイヤフラム部39が挟み込まれている。また,フランジ部43の側面と,円筒ケース10におけるネック19より上の部分の内面との間に,ガスケット36の大径部38が挟み込まれている。
