Usually, efficient cooling is required, and therefore the battery outer case is designed to be thin. However, the conventional battery pack has a problem that the thickness of the battery outer case cannot be sufficiently reduced. This is because when the battery outer case is made thin, good inter-battery connection cannot be achieved.
- a conventional connection structure between batteries a structure in which the upper surface of the positive electrode terminal and the upper surface of the negative electrode terminal are connected by a terminal connection conductor has been mainly employed.
- a vehicle equipped with an assembled battery needs to accurately control the temperature of the battery in order to maintain the charge / discharge performance of the assembled battery. Therefore, although the battery outer case is designed to be thin, there is a problem that the connection strength decreases as the thickness is reduced. For this reason, until now, it was recognized that there was a trade-off between connection strength and battery thickness.
- a vehicle equipped with the assembled battery has a problem that electrolytic corrosion occurs at the joint portion of the terminal connection conductor constituted by joining different kinds of metals. This problem has been found by the inventors to be a prominent phenomenon in automobiles used in cold regions. When it is parked in a relatively high temperature garage after being used in a low temperature atmosphere, dew condensation occurs on the terminal connection conductor portion of the assembled battery.

- the terminal connection conductor of the present invention since there is substantially no step at the boundary between the first region and the second region of the terminal connection conductor, the terminal connection conductor is prevented from being deteriorated by electrolytic corrosion. can do.
- the mechanism that works by substantially eliminating the step is as follows. Water droplets do not adhere to the boundary between the first region and the second region. Even if a water droplet adheres, there is no step, so the water droplet easily moves to another location. Since there is no step that obstructs the flow of the airflow forced to cool the battery, moisture can be smoothly evaporated by the airflow. Compared to the case where there is a step, the contact area between the water droplet and the boundary is reduced, and the movement distance of electrons between dissimilar metals is increased. Is done.

It is firmly connected and fixed by welding by contacting the terminal.
- a characteristic configuration of the assembled battery according to the present invention includes a battery container, at least two batteries having a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal protruding upward from the battery container, and a plate-shaped part formed of at least a first metal. And a plate-like portion made of a second metal having a melting point higher than that of the first metal, the plate-like portions are stacked on each other, and the first metal is exposed on one surface. And a terminal formed so that the second metal is exposed in a region of the other surface facing the second region, and a second region where the second metal is exposed.
- Each battery is arranged so that the side surface having the largest area among the side surfaces of the battery container faces each other, and the terminal connection conductor includes a terminal of one battery and a terminal of the other battery. And between the terminal connection conductors One region is connected to the facing surface of the terminal of the one battery, and the region facing the second region of the second region or the other surface is connected to the facing surface of the terminal of the other battery.

Abstract
Description
本発明の課題は、端子接続導体を介して電池の端子間等を接続する場合に、端子接続導体を構成する金属と、正極端子または負極端子を構成する金属の融点が異なることに起因する溶接の困難性という問題を解決する点にある。
アルミニウム等からなる正極端子のうち、電池外装ケースから外部に突出した部分が銅やニッケル、鉄等で構成される場合にも、この正極端子の製造工程で溶接やロウ付け等の作業が必要となり、同様に製造コストが上昇するという問題があった。
本発明の追加の課題は、端子接続導体を用いて電池の端子間等を接続する工程を簡略化する点にあり、これによって製造コストを低減する点にある。
以下に詳述する。発明者らは、一方の電池のアルミニウム等でなる正極端子1に、端子接続導体5のアルミニウム板5aを接触させ、双方を溶接ヘッド6,6で挟んで抵抗溶接を試みるとともに、他方の電池の銅等でなる負極端子4に、端子接続導体5の銅板5bを接触させ、双方を溶接ヘッド6,6で挟んで抵抗溶接を試みた。
その結果、端子接続導体5と正極端子1との間では容易に抵抗溶接できることが確認されたが、端子接続導体5と負極端子4との間では、負極端子4と銅板5bとの間が溶接される前に、銅板5bより融点の低いアルミニウム板5aが溶融するため、負極端子4と銅板5bとの溶接が不十分になるおそれがあることが判明したのである。
本発明の追加の課題は、正極及び負極の双方の端子と、端子接続導体との確実な溶接を可能にすることによって、接続強度を高め、且つ、電気抵抗を低減する点にある。
本発明の追加の課題は、端子接続導体が電食によって劣化することを抑制する点にある。
しかし、従来の組電池では、電池外装ケースの厚みを十分に薄くすることができないという問題があった。電池外装ケースを薄くした場合、良好な電池間接続が達成できないからである。
従来の電池間の接続構造として、正極端子の上面と負極端子の上面とを、端子接続導体で連結する構造が主に採用されていた。そのため、電池外装ケースの厚さを薄くするにしたがって、端子の上面の面積が狭くなり、その結果、端子接続導体との接触面積が十分に確保できず、或は、ボルト締結用のネジ穴が加工できないといった問題が生じ、電池外装ケースの薄型化には限界があった。
また、端子と端子接続導体とをボルトで締結する場合、高度な振動耐久性が要求される自動車搭載用組電池では、接続強度の観点からボルトの径が5mm以上(M5サイズ以上)必要とされるが、端子の厚さが5mm以下になればネジ穴加工が不可能となる。
本発明の追加の課題は、電池を薄型にする設計を可能とする点にある。
また、組電池を搭載した車両は、異種金属を接合して構成される端子接続導体の接合部位に電食が生じるという問題が生じていた。この問題は、寒冷地で使用される自動車に顕著な現象であることが発明者により見出された。低温雰囲気下で使用された後に相対的に高温のガレージ等に駐車された場合に、組電池の端子接続導体部分に結露が生じる。特に、海岸に近い地域では、空気中に含まれる海水の成分が結露水に溶解するので、少量の結露であっても腐食が顕著に生じることが見出された。
本発明の追加の課題は、薄型の電池を複数含む組電池を備えた車両を提供する点にある。また、本発明の追加の課題は、電食による劣化が抑制された組電池を備えた車両を提供する点にある。
段差を実質的に無くすことによって作用するメカニズムはつぎの通りである。水滴が第一領域と第二領域との境界に付着することが無くなる。仮に水滴が付着しても段差が無いので、水滴が他の箇所への移動し易くなる。電池を冷却するために強制的に流される気流の流れを阻害する段差が無いので、気流により円滑に水分を蒸発させることができる。段差が有る場合と比べて水滴と境界部との接触面積が小さくなり、また、異種金属間での電子の移動距離が長くなることによって、電子の移動抵抗が増大するので腐食反応の進行が抑制される。
さらに、端子接続導体を正極端子と他の端子のいずれにも容易に溶接できるので、端子接続導体を用いて電池の端子間等を接続する工程が簡略化できる。
従って、従来の電流取出用リード板を溶接する工程や、アルミニウム等からなる正極端子の外部への突出部を銅やニッケル、鉄等で構成するように加工する工程が削減でき、電池の端子間を接続固定する際の作業性を高めることができるようになる。
