Definitions
- the present invention is a secondary battery provided with a current interruption mechanism that interrupts a current path inside the secondary battery.
- Patent Document 1 a current interruption mechanism is provided inside the secondary battery.
- the current is interrupted by deformation of the metal plate included in the current interrupt mechanism. Since the current interrupting mechanism is connected to the electrode terminal, charging and discharging through the electrode terminal is prohibited when the current interrupting mechanism interrupts the current.
- the electric energy stored in the secondary battery cannot be taken out from the electrode terminal. Since the current interruption mechanism is activated by overcharging the secondary battery, a lot of electric energy is stored in the secondary battery.
- the secondary battery according to the present invention includes a power generation element that performs charging and discharging, a battery case that houses the power generation element, and an electrode terminal that is exposed on the outer surface of the battery case and is electrically connected to the power generation element. Further, the secondary battery has a current interruption mechanism and an auxiliary terminal. The current interrupting mechanism is provided on the current path connecting the power generation element and the electrode terminal inside the battery case, and can interrupt the current.

- An insulator 27 is provided between the auxiliary terminal 26 and the through hole 12a.
- the insulator 27 can be formed of, for example, resin or rubber. By disposing the insulator 27 between the auxiliary terminal 26 and the through hole 12a, the auxiliary terminal 26 and the lid 12 can be insulated. Further, by elastically deforming the insulator 27, the space between the auxiliary terminal 26 and the through hole 12a can be sealed.
- the end 26 b of the auxiliary terminal 26 is connected to the negative electrode tab 23.
- a method for connecting the auxiliary terminal 26 and the negative electrode tab 23 for example, caulking or welding can be used.

- the position where the auxiliary terminal 26 is arranged is not limited to the position shown in FIG. 5 and can be set as appropriate. That is, it is only necessary that the auxiliary terminal 26 is disposed at a position where it can be connected to the negative electrode tab 23.
- the auxiliary terminal 26 can be disposed on the positive electrode terminal 22 side (left side in FIG. 5) with respect to the negative electrode terminal 21.
- the auxiliary terminal 26 is preferably arranged at the position shown in FIG.
- the auxiliary terminal 26 By arranging the auxiliary terminal 26 at the position shown in FIG. 5, it becomes easy to access the auxiliary terminal 26 from the outside of the assembled battery. For example, as will be described later, when the auxiliary terminal 26 is connected to a load, the wiring is easily connected to the auxiliary terminal 26. If the auxiliary terminal 26 is disposed on the positive electrode terminal 22 side with respect to the negative electrode terminal 21, the presence of the negative electrode terminal 21 may make it difficult to access the auxiliary terminal 26 from the outside of the assembled battery. According to the present embodiment, since the auxiliary terminal 26 is arranged at the corner of the battery case 10, the auxiliary terminal 26 can be easily accessed.
- the auxiliary terminal 26 can be easily attached by arranging the auxiliary terminal 26 at the position shown in FIG. If the auxiliary terminal 26 is disposed on the positive electrode terminal 22 side with respect to the negative electrode terminal 21, when the auxiliary terminal 26 is attached, it may be difficult to attach the auxiliary terminal 26 due to interference with the negative electrode terminal 21. In this embodiment, since the auxiliary terminal 26 is disposed on the outer edge side of the lid 12 with respect to the negative electrode terminal 21, the auxiliary terminal 26 can be attached without interfering with the negative electrode terminal 21.
- the auxiliary electrode 26 can support the negative electrode tab 23 by connecting the auxiliary terminal 26 to the negative electrode tab 23.
- the vibration or impact is also transmitted to the negative electrode tab 23.
- a load may be applied to a connection portion between the negative electrode tab 23 and the current cutoff valve 25, or a load may be applied to a connection portion between the negative electrode tab 23 and the power generation element 30. Further, the vibration is transmitted to the current cutoff valve 25 via the negative electrode tab 23, and there is a possibility that a load is applied to the current cutoff valve 25.
- the auxiliary electrode 26 supports the negative electrode tab 23, so that vibration of the negative electrode tab 23 and the like can be suppressed. Thereby, it can suppress that load is applied to the current cutoff valve 25 or the like.
- the internal pressure of the battery case 10 increases.
- the pressure P acts on the current cutoff valve 25.
- the connection portion between the current cutoff valve 25 and the negative electrode tab 23 is broken by the deformation of the current cutoff valve 25, and the current cutoff valve 25 is separated from the negative electrode tab 23.
- the current cutoff valve 25 changes to the state shown in FIG. 6, it is maintained in the state shown in FIG. That is, the current cutoff valve 25 changes irreversibly from the state shown in FIG. 5 to the state shown in FIG. Thereby, the state which interrupted
- the pressure P when operating the current cutoff valve 25 can be appropriately set in consideration of the pressure resistance performance of the battery case 10 and the like.
- the secondary battery 1 Since the current cutoff valve 25 and the negative electrode tab 23 serve as a current path when charging and discharging the secondary battery 1 using the negative electrode terminal 21, the secondary battery 1 is separated when the current cutoff valve 25 is separated from the negative electrode tab 23. Charging / discharging is prohibited. By prohibiting the charging / discharging of the secondary battery 1, it is possible to prevent the secondary battery 1 from being overcharged and to suppress further increase in the internal pressure of the battery case 10.
- the secondary battery 1 After the current cutoff valve 25 is activated, the secondary battery 1 cannot be discharged using the negative terminal 21. When the current cutoff valve 25 operates, the secondary battery 1 is in an overcharged state, so that much electric energy remains stored in the power generation element 30.
- the auxiliary terminal 26 by using the auxiliary terminal 26, the electric energy stored in the power generation element 30 can be output to the outside of the secondary battery 1. Even after the current cutoff valve 25 is separated from the negative electrode tab 23, the auxiliary terminal 26 is connected to the power generation element 30 through the negative electrode tab 23. For this reason, if the auxiliary terminal 26 and the positive electrode terminal 22 are connected to a load, the power generating element 30 can be discharged.
- the load may be anything that consumes the power of the power generation element 30.
