さらにまた、本発明の他の目的は、電源装置の製造工程において、複数の電池セルを積層する際に、組み立てを簡素化して効率よく生産できる電源装置とこの電源装置を備える電源システム、及び電池セル用のセパレータを提供することにある。
電池セル1は、幅広面である主面1Xの外形を四角形とする角形電池であって、主面1Xの幅よりも厚さを薄くしている。さらに、電池セル1は、充放電できる二次電池であって、リチウムイオン二次電池としている。ただし、本発明の電源装置は、電池セルをリチウムイオン二次電池には特定せず、充放電できる全ての電池、たとえばリチウムイオン二次電池以外の非水系電解液二次電池やニッケル水電池セルなども使用できる。
セパレータ2は、絶縁部材で構成されており、図3~図9に示すように、各々の電池セル1に連結されて、電池セル1の表面を部分的に被覆して絶縁する。さらに、セパレータ2は、互いに積層される電池セル1同士を絶縁しながら、隣接する電池セル1を一定の間隔に保持する。このようなセパレータ2は、プラスチック等の絶縁材を成形して製作される。とくに、セパレータ2は、弾性を有する軟質素材であって、例えばPP等のプラスチック材料、あるいはシリコン等で製造される。
本体プレート部20は、図6と図7に示すように、電池セル1の主面1Xとほぼ等しい大きさと形状の板状としている。本体プレート部20は、電池セルユニット10を構成する電池セル1が配置される側を第一面20Aとして、この第一面20A側の底部分に箱状被覆部21を、天部分の両隅部に隅角被覆部22を設けている。さらに、本体プレート部20は、第一面20Aと反対側の面を第二面20Bとして、隣接して積層される電池セルユニット10を構成する電池セル1の主面1Xに第二面20Bを当接させている。すなわち、本体プレート部20は、このセパレータ2にセットされて電池セルユニット10を構成する電池セル1の第1の主面1Xaを第一面20Aに当接させて被覆し、隣接して積層される電池セルユニット10を構成する電池セル1の第2の主面1Xbを第二面20Bに当接させて被覆している。
箱状被覆部21は、電池セル1の底面部を挿入できる箱状に形成されている。図6~図9に示す箱状被覆部21は、角形の電池セル1の底面部を、底面全体にわたって挿入して被覆できるように、上方開口の箱状としている。この箱状被覆部21は、本体プレート部20の下端縁に沿って形成されて、第一面20A側に突出する底面被覆部21Aと、この底面被覆部21Aの先端縁から上方に立ち上げられた前面被覆部21Bと、本体プレート部20、底面被覆部21A、及び前面被覆部21Bの両側縁を連結してなる側面被覆部21Cとを備えている。箱状被覆部21は、本体プレート部20に一体成形して設けられている。

さらに、セパレータ2は、電池セル1の側面1Yに配置される側壁23と逆延長側壁25の縦方向に沿って垂直壁31、32を備えている。図5~図9に示す側壁23は、側面被覆部21C、22Cから延長された縦側壁26の両側縁に沿って、外側に突出する2列の垂直壁31を設けている。側壁23は、2列の垂直壁31を互いに平行に形成している。2列の垂直壁31のうち、表出カット部27に沿って形成される垂直壁31は、側面被覆部21C、22Cとの境界部分に沿って湾曲部31Aを設けており、表出カット部27の全ての領域にわたって側壁23の内面側と外面側との沿面距離を長くしている。図の湾曲部31Aは、内面に沿って、側壁23と平行なリブ33を設けて補強している。さらに、側壁23の表出カット部27に沿って形成される垂直壁31は、対向して配置される電池セル1との間に形成される第二送風溝30Bの両端開口に沿って立設されるので、外部から送風される冷却気体を、この垂直壁31に沿って効率よく風路8に流入できる。
さらに、図のセパレータ2は、互いに隣接して積層される電池セルユニット10を定位置に連結できるように、本体プレート部20の外周に沿って、電池セル1の積層方向に突出する位置決め連結部40を設けている。図に示す位置決め連結部40は、セパレータ2の底面側の両隅部を位置決めする底面連結部41と、セパレータ2の天面側の両隅部を位置決めするコーナー連結部42とを備えている。
底面連結部41は、本体プレート部20の下端縁に沿って第二面20B側に突出して形成されている。底面連結部41は、電池セル1の積層方向に延長された板状であって、箱状被覆部21の底面の全体にわたって設けられている。底面連結部41は、隣接して積層される電池セルユニット10の箱状被覆部21の底面に積層されて、対向するセパレータ2の箱状被覆部21の外側に連結される。図に示す底面連結部41は、両側部を箱状被覆部21の両隅部に沿って立ち上げており、この立ち上げ部により、箱状被覆部21の左右方向を位置決めしながら連結する構造としている。
コーナー連結部42は、本体プレート部20の天面側の両隅部に沿って第二面20B側に突出して形成されている。コーナー連結部42は、垂直断面を略L字状とする板状として電池セル1の積層方向に延長されている。このコーナー連結部42は、隅角被覆部22の天面被覆部22Aと側面被覆部22Cの上端部に沿って積層されて、隅角被覆部22の外側に連結される。垂直断面を略L字状とするコーナー連結部42は、水平部で上下方向を位置決めし、垂直部で左右方向を位置決めしながら隅角被覆部22に連結される。
以上のセパレータ2は、図5に示すように、電池セル1に装着されて電池セルユニット10を構成する。電池セルユニット10は、電池セル1の表面がセパレータ2で部分的に被覆されており、さらに、複数の電池セルユニット10を積層して電池積層体9を構成する状態では、電池セル1の天面の一部、例えば電極端子13の部分を除くほぼ全ての領域を被覆できる構造としている。この構造は、電位を持つ電池セル1の表面に人や金属が直接接触するのを確実に防止して、意図しない通電を防止できる。さらに、電池セル1のほぼ全面を被覆することで、結露水が発生しても、電池セル1の表面が外装部材、例えばバインドバー5に接触して通電されるのを有効に防止できる。
さらに、セパレータは、図13に示す構造とすることもできる。ここで、図13に示す実施例のセパレータ62は、図6に示す前述のセパレータ2に対して電池セル1の側面1Yを被覆する側壁23及び逆延長側壁25を省略している。すなわち、このセパレータ62は、側壁23及び逆延長側壁25以外の構成要素については、図6に示す前述のセパレータ2と同じ構成とすることができる。したがって、図13において、図6の実施例と同じ構成要素については、同符号を付してその詳細な説明を省略する。
電池積層体9は、図2~図5に示すように、電池セル1の表面をセパレータ2で被覆してなる複数の電池セルユニット10を、電池セル1の主面1Xが対向する姿勢で積層している。さらに、図2に示す電池積層体9は、中間に中間ブラケット6を介在させている。この構造は、電池積層体9の中間部分を中間ブラケット6で補強することで、電池セル1の積層数が増えた場合でも剛性を維持できる利点が得られる。ただ、電池積層体は、必ずしも中間に中間ブラケットを介在させる必要はなく、中間ブラケットを省略することもできる。
複数の電池セルユニット10を積層してなる電池積層体9は、図1と図2に示すように、締結部材3を介して積層方向に締結される。締結部材3は、電池積層体9の積層方向の両端面に配置されるエンドプレート4と、このエンドプレート4に両端部を固定して積層状態の電池セル1を加圧状態に固定してなるバインドバー5とを備えている。電池積層体9は、その両端面に配置される一対のエンドプレート4がバインドバー5の両端に連結されると共に、中間ブラケット6がバインドバー5の中間部に固定されて、積層状態の電池セル1を主面1Xと直交する方向に加圧して固定される。ただ、締結部材は、エンドプレートとバインドバーとに特定しない。締結部材は、電池積層体を積層方向に締結できる他の全ての構造が使用できる。
電池積層体9の両端面には一対のエンドプレート4を配置して、一対のエンドプレート4で電池積層体9を締結している。エンドプレート4の外形は、電池セル1の外形にほぼ等しく、あるいはこれよりもわずかに大きくして、電池積層体9を加圧状態に固定して変形しない四角形の板状としている。エンドプレート4は、十分な強度を発揮する材質、例えば金属製とする。ただ、エンドプレートは、材質を樹脂製とすることや、さらに、この樹脂製のエンドプレートを金属製の材質からなる部材で補強して構成することもできる。図1~図3に示す電源装置は、エンドプレート4を、2枚の金属板4A、4Bの積層体としている。金属製のエンドプレート4は、絶縁材であるエンドセパレータ12を介して電池積層体9に積層される。
バインドバー5は、図1と図2に示すように、両端にエンドプレート4が積層された電池積層体9の側面側に配置され、両端部が一対のエンドプレート4に固定されて電池積層体9を締結する。バインドバー5は金属板をプレス加工して製作される。このバインドバー5には、鉄などの金属板、好ましくは、鋼板が使用できる。図のバインドバー5は、電池積層体9の側面に配置される側面プレート部5Xと、この側面プレート部5Xの両端部にあってエンドプレート4の外側端面に配置される固定部5Cとを備えている。側面プレート部5Xの外形は、電池積層体9の側面の外形にほぼ等しく、正確にはわずかに大きくしている。固定部5Cは、止ネジ19を介してエンドプレート4の外側端面に固定されている。図1~図3のバインドバー5は、止ネジ19でエンドプレート4に固定しているが、バインドバーの端部を内側に折曲してエンドプレートに連結し、あるいはまた、端部をかしめてエンドプレートに連結することもできる。
さらに、電源装置は、図2と図4に示すように、バインドバー5と電池積層体9との間にパッキン11を配置している。パッキン11は、シート状であって、一枚の樹脂シートを、たとえば真空成型した後、裁断して製作され、あるいは熱可塑性樹脂を射出成形などの方法で、所定の立体形状のシート状に成形して製作することができる。図2と図4示すシート状のパッキン11は、バインドバー5の内面に面接触状態で密着する平面部11Aと、この平面部11Aから電池積層体9の表面に向かって突出すると共に、バインドバー5の送風開口5Dの全体を囲うように延在する中空状の弾性突出部11Bとを有する形状に成形している。シート状のパッキン11は、平面部11Aをバインドバー5の内面に密着させると共に、弾性突出部11Bを弾性的に電池積層体9の表面に密着させて、バインドバー5と電池積層体9との間の冷却気体の漏れを防止する。
さらに、図の電源装置100は、電池積層体9の両端及び中間において、エンドプレート4と内側に配置される電池セル1との間、及び中間ブラケット6と両面に配置される電池セル1との間に、それぞれ絶縁性を有するエンドセパレータ12を配置している。この構造は、外装缶1aを金属製とする電池セル1と金属製のエンドプレート4とをエンドセパレータ12で絶縁しながら積層できる。エンドセパレータ12は、図2と図3に示すように、電池積層体9とエンドプレート4との間に配置されて、金属製のエンドプレート4を電池セル1から絶縁している。
電池積層体9を構成する複数の電池セル1は、正負の電極端子13がバスバー7を介して互いに直列に接続される。複数の電池セル1を直列に接続する電源装置は、出力電圧を高くできる。ただし、電源装置は、電池セルを並列に接続して電流容量を大きくすることもできる。
電源装置100は、電池セル1とセパレータ2との間に設けた風路8に冷却気体を強制送風するために、図1に示すように、両側に一対の送風ダクト51が設けられて、これらの送風ダクト51に強制送風機構52が連結される。この電源装置100は、送風ダクト51から風路8に冷却気体を強制送風して、電池セル1を冷却する。ただ、電源装置100は、送風ダクト51から風路8に加温気体を強制送風して、電池セル1を加温することもできる。
強制送風機構52は、モータで回転されるファンを備え、このファンを送風ダクト51に連結している。電源装置100は、たとえば、流入ダクト51Aに強制送風機構52を連結して、強制送風機構52から流入ダクト51Aに冷却気体を強制送風する。この電源装置100は、強制送風機構52→流入ダクト51A→風路8→排出ダクト51Bに冷却気体を送風して、電池セル1を冷却する。ただし、強制送風機は、排出ダクトに連結することもできる。この強制送風機は、排出ダクトから冷却気体を強制的に吸入して排気する。したがって、この電源装置は、冷却気体を、流入ダクト→風路→排出ダクト→強制送風機に送風して、電池セルを冷却する。
さらに、図15は、図1に示す電源装置100を、電池積層体9の両側面が上下方向を向く横倒しの姿勢で配置する例を示している。図15は、一対の電源装置100を備える電源システムを示している。図15に示す電源システムは、各々の電源装置100を、図1に示す姿勢から横倒しの姿勢として、電池セル1の正負の電極端子13を設けた天面が左右方向を向くように配置している。さらに、電源システムは、一対の電源装置100の底面を対向する姿勢で配置して、各電池積層体9の天面が左右逆方向に向く姿勢で連結している。
