Short circuit. When a short circuit occurs, heat is generated in the vicinity of the short circuit part, the electrolyte component is decomposed by the heat, and gas is generated in the case. Then, the pressure in the case rises and the pressure release valve is opened, but when gas is released from the pressure release valve to the outside of the case, a part of the electrode is scraped by the high-pressure gas, and a part of the electrode is broken. There is a risk of getting on the gas as it is and splashing outside the case.
　本発明の目的は、釘刺し試験時、開裂した圧力開放弁から電極の破片が飛散することを抑止できる蓄電装置を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a power storage device that can prevent electrode fragments from scattering from a pressure release valve that has been cleaved during a nail penetration test.

The pressure release valve is configured to be cleaved when the pressure in the case reaches the open pressure and to release the pressure in the case to the outside of the case. The power storage device includes a shielding member disposed between the inner surface of the wall portion and the end surface of the electrode assembly facing the inner surface. An axis extending in the stacking direction of the electrodes is an X-axis, an axis perpendicular to the X-axis and parallel to the wall portion is a Y-axis, and the center of the case in the front view when the case is viewed in the X-axis direction. And a region surrounded by a plane connecting the center point and the outer shape of the pressure relief valve at the shortest distance with a center point positioned at the center of the dimension of the electrode assembly in the X-axis direction.

　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、ケースの正面視における中央に釘が刺さると、釘を介して異なる極性の電極がケース内において短絡する。短絡が生じると、その短絡部の周辺では熱が発生し、電解液成分が分解されてガスが発生する。ガスの発生により、蓄電装置内の圧力が上昇する。そして、ケースの内部圧力が圧力開放弁の開放圧に達すると、圧力開放弁が開裂し、ケース内のガスがケース外に放出される。 According to this, when a nail is stuck in the center of the case when viewed from the front during the nail penetration test, electrodes of different polarities are short-circuited in the case via the nail. When a short circuit occurs, heat is generated around the short circuit part, and the electrolyte component is decomposed to generate gas.

At this time, a part of the electrode is peeled off by the generated gas and the fragments are generated. The shield is interposed between the cleaved pressure relief valve and the cross section of the three-dimensional region, and covers the entire cross section. For this reason, the gas that has flowed out of the electrode assembly from the cross section of the three-dimensional region collides with the shielding portion, the direction of the gas that has been directed to the pressure release valve is changed, and the gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve is lengthened. As a result, electrode debris contained in the gas is prevented from falling from the gas, and thus the electrode debris is prevented from scattering from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case.

　また、前記遮蔽部材は、前記壁部の内面のうち、前記圧力開放弁を囲む場所のいずれかに接触して前記遮蔽部と前記壁部とを隔てる間隔保持部を前記遮蔽部に有していてもよい。 Further, the shielding member has an interval holding portion in the shielding portion that contacts any one of the inner surfaces of the wall portion and surrounds the pressure release valve and separates the shielding portion from the wall portion. May be.
　これによれば、遮蔽部が、ケース内で発生したガス圧を受けても、間隔保持部が壁部に接触して、遮蔽部と壁部とを隔てた状態を保持する。このため、電極組立体と壁部との間に遮蔽部材が介在する構成であっても、圧力開放弁へ向けたガスの流路を確保し、圧力開放弁からケース外へのガス排出機能を維持できる。 According to this, even if the shielding part receives the gas pressure generated in the case, the interval holding part comes into contact with the wall part and keeps the state where the shielding part and the wall part are separated. For this reason, even in a configuration in which a shielding member is interposed between the electrode assembly and the wall portion, a gas flow path toward the pressure release valve is ensured, and a gas discharge function from the pressure release valve to the outside of the case is provided. Can be maintained.
　また、前記間隔保持部は、前記遮蔽部から立設された形状の複数の間隔保持棒であってもよい。
　これによれば、隣り合う間隔保持棒同士の間にガスの流路を確保でき、圧力開放弁からケース外へのガス排出機能を維持できる。 In addition, the interval holding portion may be a plurality of interval holding bars having a shape standing from the shielding portion.
According to this, a gas flow path can be ensured between adjacent spacing rods, and a gas discharge function from the pressure release valve to the outside of the case can be maintained.
　また、前記間隔保持部は、前記Ｙ軸の方向に延びる前記遮蔽部の縁部から前記壁部に向けて立設したリブであってもよい。
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、電極組立体は積層方向（Ｘ軸の方向）に膨張し、積層方向に沿ってガスが圧力開放弁に向けて流れる。このガスをリブに衝突させ、ガスに含まれる電極の破片をガスから落下させることができる。 Further, the interval holding portion may be a rib standing from the edge portion of the shielding portion extending in the Y-axis direction toward the wall portion.
According to this, during the nail penetration test, the electrode assembly expands in the stacking direction (X-axis direction), and the gas flows toward the pressure release valve along the stacking direction. The gas can collide with the ribs, and the electrode fragments contained in the gas can be dropped from the gas.
　上記問題点を解決するための蓄電装置は、層状構造を有する電極組立体と、電解液と、前記電極組立体及び電解液を収容したケースと、前記ケースの壁部に存在する圧力開放弁と、を有する。前記電極組立体は互いに絶縁された異なる極性の電極を備える。前記圧力開放弁は、ケース内の圧力が開放圧に達した場合に開裂し、ケース内の圧力をケース外に開放させるように構成される。前記蓄電装置は、前記壁部の内面と該内面に対峙する前記電極組立体の端面との間に配置される遮蔽部材を備える。前記電極の積層方向に延びる軸をＸ軸、前記Ｘ軸に直角でかつ前記壁部に平行な軸をＹ軸とし、前記Ｘ軸の方向に前記ケースを見た正面視における前記ケースの中央に位置し、かつ前記Ｘ軸の方向における前記電極組立体の寸法の中央に位置する点を中心点とし、前記中心点と前記圧力開放弁の外形線とを最短距離で繋ぐ面で囲まれる領域を三次元領域とする。前記遮蔽部材は、前記電極組立体の前記端面に沿った前記三次元領域の断面の一部を覆う遮蔽部を備える。前記遮蔽部材はさらに、前記壁部の内面のうち、前記圧力開放弁を囲む場所のいずれかに接触して前記遮蔽部と前記壁部とを隔てるリブを備える。前記リブは、前記Ｙ軸の方向に延びる前記遮蔽部の縁部から前記壁部に向けて立設している。 A power storage device for solving the above problems includes an electrode assembly having a layered structure, an electrolytic solution, a case containing the electrode assembly and the electrolytic solution, and a pressure release valve present on a wall portion of the case. Have. The electrode assembly includes electrodes of different polarities that are insulated from each other. The pressure release valve is configured to be cleaved when the pressure in the case reaches the open pressure and to release the pressure in the case to the outside of the case. The power storage device includes a shielding member disposed between an inner surface of the wall portion and an end surface of the electrode assembly facing the inner surface. An axis extending in the stacking direction of the electrodes is an X-axis, an axis perpendicular to the X-axis and parallel to the wall portion is a Y-axis, and the center of the case in the front view when the case is viewed in the X-axis direction. And a region surrounded by a plane connecting the center point and the outer shape of the pressure relief valve at the shortest distance with a center point positioned at the center of the dimension of the electrode assembly in the X-axis direction. Let it be a three-dimensional region. The said shielding member is provided with the shielding part which covers a part of cross section of the said three-dimensional area | region along the said end surface of the said electrode assembly. The shielding member further includes a rib that separates the shielding part and the wall part by contacting any one of the inner surfaces of the wall part and surrounding the pressure release valve. The rib is erected from the edge portion of the shielding portion extending in the Y-axis direction toward the wall portion.
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、ケースの正面視における中央に釘が刺さると、釘を介して異なる極性の電極同士がケース内において短絡する。短絡が生じると、その短絡部の周辺では熱が発生し、電解液成分が分解されてガスが発生する。ガスの発生により、蓄電装置内の圧力が上昇する。そして、ケースの内部圧力が圧力開放弁の開放圧に達すると、圧力開放弁が開裂し、ケース内のガスがケース外に放出される。 According to this, when a nail is stuck in the center of the case when viewed from the front during the nail penetration test, electrodes of different polarities are short-circuited in the case via the nail. When a short circuit occurs, heat is generated around the short circuit part, and the electrolyte component is decomposed to generate gas. Due to the generation of gas, the pressure in the power storage device increases. When the internal pressure of the case reaches the open pressure of the pressure release valve, the pressure release valve is cleaved and the gas in the case is released out of the case.
　短絡部で発生した高圧のガスは、中心点から三次元領域を通過して開裂した圧力開放弁に向かう。このとき、発生したガスの勢いによって電極の一部が剥ぎ取られて破片が生じる。遮蔽部は、開裂した圧力開放弁と三次元領域の断面との間に介在し、その断面の一部を覆う。このため、三次元領域の断面から電極組立体外へ出たガスは遮蔽部に衝突し、圧力開放弁に向かっていたガスの向きが変わり、圧力開放弁に向けたガス排出経路が長くなる。その結果、ガスに含まれる電極の破片がガスから落下し、よって、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外へ電極の破片が飛散することが抑止される。 The high-pressure gas generated in the short-circuit part goes from the central point to the pressure relief valve that has been cleaved through the three-dimensional region. At this time, a part of the electrode is peeled off by the generated gas and the fragments are generated. The shielding part is interposed between the cleaved pressure relief valve and the cross section of the three-dimensional region, and covers a part of the cross section. For this reason, the gas that has flowed out of the electrode assembly from the cross section of the three-dimensional region collides with the shielding portion, the direction of the gas that has been directed to the pressure release valve is changed, and the gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve is lengthened. As a result, electrode debris contained in the gas is prevented from falling from the gas, and thus the electrode debris is prevented from scattering from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case.

Have. The electrode assembly includes electrodes of different polarities that are insulated from each other. The pressure release valve is configured to be cleaved when the pressure in the case reaches the open pressure and to release the pressure in the case to the outside of the case. The power storage device includes a shielding member disposed between an inner surface of the wall portion and an end surface of the electrode assembly facing the inner surface. An axis extending in the stacking direction of the electrodes is an X-axis, an axis perpendicular to the X-axis and parallel to the wall portion is a Y-axis, and the center of the case in a front view when the case is viewed in the X-axis direction. A plane passing through and parallel to the end face of the electrode assembly is defined as a virtual plane, and a straight line connecting both ends of the pressure release valve along the direction of the Y-axis is reflected on the virtual plane when viewed from the outer surface of the wall portion. A line formed by reflecting the imaginary line over the entire dimension of the electrode assembly in the X-axis direction is defined as a bottom surface, and an outline of the bottom surface and the pressure release valve A region surrounded by a plane connecting the outer shape line with the shortest distance is defined as a three-dimensional region. The said shielding member is provided with the shielding part which covers a part of cross section of the said three-dimensional area | region along the said end surface of the said electrode assembly. The shielding member further includes a rib that separates the shielding part and the wall part by contacting any one of the inner surfaces of the wall part and surrounding the pressure release valve. The rib is erected from the edge portion of the shielding portion extending in the Y-axis direction toward the wall portion.
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、ケースの正面視における中央に釘が刺さると、釘を介して異なる極性の電極同士がケース内において短絡する。短絡が生じると、その短絡部の周辺では熱が発生し、電解液成分が分解されてガスが発生する。ガスの発生により、蓄電装置内の圧力が上昇する。そして、ケースの内部圧力が圧力開放弁の開放圧に達すると、圧力開放弁が開裂し、ケース内のガスがケース外に放出される。 According to this, when a nail is stuck in the center of the case when viewed from the front during the nail penetration test, electrodes of different polarities are short-circuited in the case via the nail. When a short circuit occurs, heat is generated around the short circuit part, and the electrolyte component is decomposed to generate gas. Due to the generation of gas, the pressure in the power storage device increases. When the internal pressure of the case reaches the open pressure of the pressure release valve, the pressure release valve is cleaved and the gas in the case is released out of the case.
　短絡部で発生した高圧のガスは、底面のいずれかの場所から三次元領域を通過して開裂した圧力開放弁に向かう。このとき、発生したガスの勢いによって電極の一部が剥ぎ取られて破片が生じる。遮蔽部は、開裂した圧力開放弁と三次元領域の断面との間に介在し、その断面の一部を覆う。このため、三次元領域の断面から電極組立体外へ出たガスは遮蔽部に衝突し、圧力開放弁に向かっていたガスの向きが変わり、圧力開放弁に向けたガス排出経路が長くなる。その結果、ガスに含まれる電極の破片がガスから落下し、よって、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外へ電極の破片が飛散することが抑止される。 The high-pressure gas generated in the short-circuited part is directed to the pressure release valve that has been cleaved from any location on the bottom surface through the three-dimensional region. At this time, a part of the electrode is peeled off by the generated gas and the fragments are generated. The shielding part is interposed between the cleaved pressure relief valve and the cross section of the three-dimensional region, and covers a part of the cross section. For this reason, the gas that has flowed out of the electrode assembly from the cross section of the three-dimensional region collides with the shielding portion, the direction of the gas that has been directed to the pressure release valve is changed, and the gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve is lengthened. As a result, electrode debris contained in the gas is prevented from falling from the gas, and thus the electrode debris is prevented from scattering from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case.
　また、前記リブは、前記Ｙ軸の方向に延びる前記遮蔽部の一対の縁部から立設されていてもよい。
　これによれば、積層方向（Ｘ軸の方向）における電極組立体の両端側からガスが圧力開放弁に向けて流れても、ガスをリブに衝突させ、ガスに含まれる電極の破片をガスから落下させることができる。その結果、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外へ電極の破片が飛散することが抑止される。 Further, the rib may be erected from a pair of edge portions of the shielding portion extending in the Y-axis direction.
According to this, even if the gas flows from both ends of the electrode assembly in the stacking direction (X-axis direction) toward the pressure release valve, the gas collides with the rib, and the electrode fragments contained in the gas are removed from the gas. Can be dropped. As a result, scattering of the electrode fragments from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case is suppressed.
　また、前記遮蔽部材は、前記Ｘ軸の方向に延びる前記遮蔽部の縁部から前記壁部に向けて立設したリブをさらに備えていてもよい。
　これによれば、Ｙ軸の方向からガスが圧力開放弁に向けて流れても、ガスをリブに衝突させ、ガスに含まれる電極の破片をガスから落下させることができる。その結果、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外へ電極の破片が飛散することが抑止される。 The shielding member may further include a rib standing from the edge of the shielding portion extending in the X-axis direction toward the wall portion.
According to this, even if gas flows from the Y-axis direction toward the pressure release valve, the gas can collide with the rib, and the electrode fragments contained in the gas can be dropped from the gas. As a result, scattering of the electrode fragments from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case is suppressed.
　また、前記Ｘ軸の方向に延びる前記遮蔽部の前記縁部から立設した前記リブはガス通し孔を備えていてもよい。
　これによれば、ガスがリブに衝突すると、ガスに含まれる電極の破片を落下させることができる。その一方でガスは、ガス通し孔を通過して、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外に放出される。すなわち、ガス通し孔は、火花の原因となる電極の破片を篩い落とす機能を発揮する。その結果、電極の破片がガスと共にケース外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。 Moreover, the said rib standingly arranged from the said edge part of the said shielding part extended in the direction of the said X-axis may be provided with the gas through-hole.
According to this, when a gas collides with a rib, the fragment of the electrode contained in gas can be dropped. On the other hand, the gas passes through the gas passage hole and is released out of the case from the cleaved pressure release valve. That is, the gas passage hole exhibits a function of sieving the electrode fragments that cause sparks. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of sparks by preventing the fragments of the electrode from scattering together with the gas.
　また、前記遮蔽部と前記リブとに繋がる補強リブを備えていてもよい。
　これによれば、補強リブにより、遮蔽部及びリブを補強でき、ガスの衝突によって遮蔽部材が変形することを抑制できる。 Moreover, you may provide the reinforcement rib connected with the said shielding part and the said rib.
According to this, a shielding part and a rib can be reinforced with a reinforcement rib, and it can suppress that a shielding member deform | transforms by the collision of gas.
　また、前記遮蔽部材を前記壁部に対し前記電極組立体が位置する側から前記壁部の内面に向けて見た場合、前記リブは前記遮蔽部の外形線で画定される面内に存在するのが好ましい。 Further, when the shielding member is viewed from the side where the electrode assembly is located with respect to the wall portion toward the inner surface of the wall portion, the rib exists in a plane defined by the outline of the shielding portion. Is preferred.
　これによれば、遮蔽部材は、該遮蔽部材を壁部に固定するためにリブの外面から突出する形状のフランジを備えない。したがって、遮蔽部材を壁部に固定するためのフランジを備える場合と比べて、電極組立体の端面と壁部との間の空間を広くでき、ケース内の圧力を上昇しにくくできる。 According to this, the shielding member does not include a flange having a shape protruding from the outer surface of the rib in order to fix the shielding member to the wall portion. Therefore, the space between the end surface of the electrode assembly and the wall portion can be widened, and the pressure in the case can hardly be increased, compared with a case where a flange for fixing the shielding member to the wall portion is provided.
　また、前記遮蔽部材は筒状であり、前記Ｙ軸の方向に延びる中心軸線を有していてもよい。前記遮蔽部材はまた、軸方向一端側の開口に設けられたガス流入口と、軸方向他端側において前記圧力開放弁に向けて開口したガス流出口と、前記ガス流入口から前記ガス流出口までのガス経路上に位置する経路変更壁と、を備えていてもよい。 Further, the shielding member may have a cylindrical shape and may have a central axis extending in the Y-axis direction. The shielding member also includes a gas inlet provided at an opening on one axial end side, a gas outlet opening toward the pressure release valve on the other axial end side, and the gas outlet from the gas inlet And a path change wall located on the gas path up to.
　これによれば、遮蔽部への衝突により向きを変えたガスは、ガス流入口から遮蔽部材内に流れ込む。ガスは、ガス流入口からガス流出口に至るガス経路上において、経路変更壁によってガスの流れる向きが変更され、遮蔽部材の壁面に衝突する。その後、ガスは、ガス流出口から遮蔽部材の外へ流出し、圧力開放弁からケース外へ放出される。 According to this, the gas whose direction is changed by the collision with the shielding part flows into the shielding member from the gas inlet. On the gas path from the gas inlet to the gas outlet, the gas flow direction is changed by the path changing wall, and the gas collides with the wall surface of the shielding member. Thereafter, the gas flows out of the shielding member from the gas outlet and is released from the case through the pressure release valve.
　したがって、遮蔽部材に経路変更壁を設けたことにより、遮蔽部材にガスが衝突する回数を増やし、ガスに含まれる電極の破片をガスから落下させ、電極の破片がガスと共にケース外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。 Therefore, by providing a path change wall on the shielding member, the number of times the gas collides with the shielding member is increased, electrode fragments contained in the gas are dropped from the gas, and the electrode fragments are scattered with the gas outside the case. Can suppress the occurrence of sparks.
　また、前記異なる極性の電極は正極電極と負極電極である。前記正極電極及び前記負極電極は、それぞれ正極タブ及び負極タブを備えており、前記正極タブは前記電極組立体の端面から突出した形状であってもよい。前記蓄電装置は、前記正極タブと接続された正極導電部材と、前記負極タブと接続された負極導電部材とをさらに備えていてもよい。前記正極タブ及び前記正極導電部材は、前記負極タブ及び前記負極導電部材よりも融点が低くてもよい。前記Ｙ軸の方向に前記正極導電部材及び前記負極導電部材が並設されてもよい。前記遮蔽部材は、前記Ｘ軸の方向に延びかつ前記圧力開放弁に対し前記正極導電部材寄りに配置されたリブを備えてもよい。前記壁部の面方向に沿って前記正極導電部材が位置する側から前記圧力開放弁に向かうガスの経路は正極側ガス排出経路であり、前記壁部の面方向に沿って前記負極導電部材が位置する側から前記圧力開放弁に向かうガスの経路は負極側ガス排出経路である。前記正極側ガス排出経路において前記ガスに対して生じる流路抵抗は、前記負極側ガス排出経路において前記ガスに対して生じる流路抵抗より大きくてもよい。 The electrodes having different polarities are a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode and the negative electrode may include a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab, respectively, and the positive electrode tab may protrude from an end surface of the electrode assembly. The power storage device may further include a positive electrode conductive member connected to the positive electrode tab and a negative electrode conductive member connected to the negative electrode tab. The positive electrode tab and the positive electrode conductive member may have a lower melting point than the negative electrode tab and the negative electrode conductive member. The positive electrode conductive member and the negative electrode conductive member may be arranged in parallel in the Y-axis direction. The shielding member may include a rib that extends in the X-axis direction and is disposed closer to the positive electrode conductive member with respect to the pressure release valve. A gas path from the side where the positive electrode conductive member is located along the surface direction of the wall portion to the pressure release valve is a positive gas discharge path, and the negative electrode conductive member is aligned along the surface direction of the wall portion. The gas path from the position to the pressure release valve is a negative gas discharge path. The flow path resistance generated for the gas in the positive gas discharge path may be larger than the flow resistance generated for the gas in the negative gas discharge path.
　釘刺し試験時、ガスが正極タブ間を通過して正極導電部材に衝突した際、正極タブ及び正極導電部材の少なくとも一方の一部が、高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり削り取られたりしてガスに含まれる状態となることがある。しかし、このような場合でも、ガスをリブに衝突させることで、正極タブや正極導電部材の破片がケースの外へ排出されることを抑止できる。そして、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗が大きい分、ガスは負極導電部材が位置する側に流れ、負極側ガス排出経路を流れる。負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗は、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より小さいため、圧力開放弁に向けてガスが流れやすく、ケース内の圧力が上昇することを抑制できる。 In the nail penetration test, when the gas passes between the positive electrode tabs and collides with the positive electrode conductive member, at least one part of the positive electrode tab and the positive electrode conductive member is melted or scraped off by the high temperature and high pressure gas. May be included in the state. However, even in such a case, it is possible to prevent the positive electrode tab or the positive electrode conductive member from being discharged out of the case by causing the gas to collide with the rib. And since the flow path resistance of the positive electrode side gas discharge path is large, the gas flows to the side where the negative electrode conductive member is located, and flows through the negative electrode side gas discharge path. Since the flow path resistance of the negative electrode side gas discharge path is smaller than the flow path resistance of the positive side gas discharge path, the gas easily flows toward the pressure release valve, and the pressure in the case can be prevented from rising.
　また、前記正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積は、前記負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積より小さくてもよい。各ガス排出経路は、電極組立体の端面と圧力開放弁とを繋ぐ経路であり、経路長に大きな差は生じない。このため、流路断面積の差によって、ガスの流れやすさが決定される。そして、正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積が、負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積より小さいため、ガスは負極側ガス排出経路に流れやすくなる。 Further, the cross-sectional area of the positive-side gas discharge path may be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the negative-side gas discharge path. Each gas discharge path is a path connecting the end face of the electrode assembly and the pressure release valve, and there is no significant difference in path length. For this reason, the ease of gas flow is determined by the difference in flow path cross-sectional area. And since the flow-path cross-sectional area of a positive electrode side gas discharge path is smaller than the flow-path cross-sectional area of a negative electrode side gas discharge path, gas becomes easy to flow into a negative electrode side gas discharge path.
　また、前記リブは、前記遮蔽部から前記壁部に向かって前記正極導電部材を越えた位置まで突出する突出端を有してもよい。
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、ガスが正極タブ間を通過して正極導電部材に衝突した際、正極導電部材の一部が高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり削り取られたりしても、そのガスをリブに衝突させ、破片をケースの外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 The rib may have a protruding end that protrudes from the shielding part toward the wall part to a position beyond the positive electrode conductive member.
According to this, during the nail penetration test, when the gas passes between the positive electrode tabs and collides with the positive electrode conductive member, even if a part of the positive electrode conductive member is melted or scraped off by the high-temperature high-pressure gas, It is possible to prevent the gas from colliding with the ribs and discharging the fragments out of the case.
　また、前記リブの前記突出端は、前記壁部の内面から離間していてもよい。これによれば、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗を負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より大きく設定しつつも、正極導電部材が位置する側から出たガスを正極側ガス排出経路を通じて圧力開放弁からケース外へ好適に排出でき、ケース内における過度な圧力上昇を抑止できる。 Further, the protruding end of the rib may be separated from the inner surface of the wall portion. According to this, while the flow path resistance of the positive electrode side gas discharge path is set larger than the flow path resistance of the negative electrode side gas discharge path, the gas discharged from the side where the positive electrode conductive member is located is pressured through the positive electrode side gas discharge path. The release valve can be suitably discharged out of the case, and an excessive pressure increase in the case can be suppressed.
　また、前記壁部の内面と前記電極組立体の端面との間に、前記Ｙ軸の方向に沿う前記遮蔽部材の移動を規制する移動規制部材を備えてもよい。
　これによれば、移動規制部材により、遮蔽部材の位置を維持して、三次元領域の断面を遮蔽部で覆った状態を維持できる。 Further, a movement restricting member that restricts the movement of the shielding member along the direction of the Y axis may be provided between the inner surface of the wall portion and the end surface of the electrode assembly.
According to this, the position of the shielding member can be maintained by the movement restricting member, and the state where the cross section of the three-dimensional region is covered with the shielding portion can be maintained.
　また、前記正極導電部材へ向かう前記遮蔽部材の移動を規制する移動規制部材は、前記正極導電部材であり、前記負極導電部材へ向かう前記遮蔽部材の移動を規制する移動規制部材は、前記負極タブを前記Ｘ軸の方向に集めて構成されたタブ群であってもよい。 The movement restricting member that restricts movement of the shielding member toward the positive electrode conductive member is the positive electrode conductive member, and the movement restricting member that restricts movement of the shield member toward the negative electrode conductive member is the negative electrode tab. It may be a tab group configured by collecting them in the X-axis direction.
　これによれば、正極導電部材と負極のタブ群といった、ケース内に存在する部品で遮蔽部材の移動を規制できる。
　また、前記正極導電部材へ向かう前記遮蔽部材の移動を規制する移動規制部材は、前記正極導電部材であり、前記負極導電部材へ向かう前記遮蔽部材の移動を規制する移動規制部材は、前記負極導電部材である。 According to this, the movement of the shielding member can be restricted by components existing in the case such as the positive electrode conductive member and the negative electrode tab group.
The movement restricting member that restricts the movement of the shielding member toward the positive electrode conductive member is the positive electrode conductive member, and the movement restricting member that restricts the movement of the shield member toward the negative electrode conductive member is the negative electrode conductive member. It is a member.
　これによれば、正極導電部材と負極導電部材といった、ケース内に存在する部品で遮蔽部材の移動を規制できる。
　また、前記正極タブ及び前記負極タブは、前記電極組立体の前記端面から突出するとともに、前記Ｙ軸の方向に互いに離れていてもよい。前記遮蔽部材は、前記壁部の外面から見て前記正極タブ及び前記負極タブと重なり、かつ前記Ｙ軸の方向に沿って前記正極タブ及び前記負極タブを覆う邪魔板を備えていてもよい。 According to this, the movement of the shielding member can be restricted by the components existing in the case, such as the positive electrode conductive member and the negative electrode conductive member.
The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab may protrude from the end face of the electrode assembly and be separated from each other in the Y-axis direction. The shielding member may include a baffle plate that overlaps the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab when viewed from the outer surface of the wall portion and covers the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab along the direction of the Y axis.
　これによれば、電極の積層方向に隣り合うタブ同士の間からガスが排出されたとき、そのガスを邪魔板に衝突させ、ガスに含まれる電極の破片をガスから落下させることができる。 According to this, when the gas is discharged from between the tabs adjacent in the electrode stacking direction, the gas can collide with the baffle plate, and the electrode fragments contained in the gas can be dropped from the gas.
　また、前記正極導電部材及び前記負極導電部材のいずれか一方は、前記壁部の外面から見て前記壁部及び前記遮蔽部と重なる重合部を含んでもよい。
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスは、遮蔽部への衝突により向きを変え、正極導電部材及び負極導電部材のいずれか一方の導電部材の重合部と遮蔽部との両対向面の間を通過し、圧力開放弁に向かう。その結果、重合部により、高温のガスを壁部に接触させにくくすることができる。 In addition, one of the positive electrode conductive member and the negative electrode conductive member may include a superposed portion that overlaps the wall portion and the shielding portion when viewed from the outer surface of the wall portion.
According to this, the gas generated at the time of the nail penetration test changes its direction due to the collision with the shielding part, and the gas flows on both opposing surfaces of the overlapping part and the shielding part of either the positive electrode conductive member or the negative electrode conductive member. Pass through to the pressure relief valve. As a result, high temperature gas can be made difficult to contact a wall part by the superposition | polymerization part.
　また、前記一方の前記導電部材は、前記重合部を前記圧力開放弁に向けるよう屈曲した屈曲部を備える。
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスは、遮蔽部への衝突により向きを変え、導電部材の重合部と遮蔽部との両対向面の間を通過し、圧力開放弁に向かう。重合部は、屈曲部によって圧力開放弁に向かう形状となっているため、重合部に沿って流れるガスを圧力開放弁に向けて好適に流すことができる。 The one conductive member includes a bent portion that is bent so that the overlapping portion faces the pressure release valve.
According to this, the gas generated during the nail penetration test changes its direction due to the collision with the shielding part, passes between both facing surfaces of the overlapping part and the shielding part of the conductive member, and goes to the pressure release valve. Since the overlapping portion has a shape toward the pressure release valve by the bent portion, the gas flowing along the overlapping portion can be suitably flowed toward the pressure release valve.
　また、前記Ｙ軸の方向における前記圧力開放弁の中心位置は、前記Ｙ軸の方向における前記正極タブと前記負極タブとの間の中心位置よりも前記負極導電部材寄りにあってもよい。 The center position of the pressure release valve in the Y-axis direction may be closer to the negative electrode conductive member than the center position between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab in the Y-axis direction.
　釘刺し試験時、ガスが正極タブ間を通過して正極導電部材に衝突した際、正極タブ及び正極導電部材の少なくとも一方の一部が、高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり削り取られたりして、ガスに含まれる状態となることがある。しかし、このような場合でも、ガスが壁部に衝突したりすることで、正極タブや正極導電部材の破片がケースの外へ排出されることを抑止できる。そして、圧力開放弁が負極導電部材寄りにあることから、正極側ガス排出経路が負極側ガス排出経路より長くなり、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗が大きくなる。よって、ガスは負極導電部材が位置する側に流れ、負極側ガス排出経路を流れやすくなる。 At the time of the nail penetration test, when the gas passes between the positive electrode tabs and collides with the positive electrode conductive member, at least one part of the positive electrode tab and the positive electrode conductive member is melted or scraped off by the high temperature and high pressure gas, It may be contained in gas. However, even in such a case, it is possible to prevent the positive electrode tab or the positive electrode conductive member from being discharged out of the case by the gas colliding with the wall portion. Since the pressure release valve is closer to the negative electrode conductive member, the positive electrode side gas discharge path is longer than the negative electrode side gas discharge path, and the flow path resistance of the positive electrode side gas discharge path is increased. Therefore, the gas flows to the side where the negative electrode conductive member is located, and easily flows through the negative electrode side gas discharge path.
　また、前記Ｙ軸の方向において、前記正極タブと前記リブとの間には隙間が設けられてもよい。この場合、前記隙間を該隙間に対し前記壁部が位置する側から覆うガス衝突部材を備えてもよい。 Further, a gap may be provided between the positive electrode tab and the rib in the Y-axis direction. In this case, you may provide the gas collision member which covers the said clearance gap from the side in which the said wall part is located with respect to this clearance gap.
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、発生したガスは、遮蔽部材のリブと正極タブとの間の隙間を流れるため、正極タブ間をガスが流れる場合と比べると、正極タブが溶融しにくい。また、隙間を流れたガスがガス衝突部材に衝突するため、この衝突により、正極タブや正極導電部材の破片がケースの外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 According to this, during the nail penetration test, the generated gas flows through the gap between the rib of the shielding member and the positive electrode tab, so that the positive electrode tab is less likely to melt than when the gas flows between the positive electrode tabs. Further, since the gas flowing through the gap collides with the gas collision member, it is possible to prevent the positive electrode tab or the positive electrode conductive member from being discharged out of the case due to the collision.
　また、前記遮蔽部材は、前記ケースの内面から離間していてもよい。
　これによれば、遮蔽部材により、ガスに含まれる電極の破片をケース内に落下させつつも、遮蔽部材が圧力開放弁を塞ぐことがなく、圧力開放弁の作動が妨げられない。 The shielding member may be separated from the inner surface of the case.
According to this, the shielding member does not block the pressure release valve and prevents the operation of the pressure release valve while dropping the electrode fragments contained in the gas into the case by the shielding member.
　また、前記遮蔽部材は、前記電極組立体の前記端面に載置されていてもよい。
　これによれば、三次元領域の断面から電極組立体外へ出たガスを、即座に遮蔽部に衝突させることができる。よって、圧力開放弁に向かっていたガスの向きを速やかに変え、圧力開放弁に向けたガス排出経路を速やかに長くすることができる。 The shielding member may be placed on the end face of the electrode assembly.
According to this, the gas that has flowed out of the electrode assembly from the cross section of the three-dimensional region can immediately collide with the shielding part. Therefore, the direction of the gas that has been directed to the pressure release valve can be quickly changed, and the gas discharge path directed to the pressure release valve can be lengthened quickly.
　また、前記遮蔽部材は金属製であってもよい。釘刺し試験時に発生した高温高圧のガスによって遮蔽部材が溶融することを抑制しやすくなる。
　また、前記遮蔽部材は耐熱性を有してもよい。例えば、遮蔽部材を金属製とすると、遮蔽部材がケースや電極と短絡することを抑制するために、遮蔽部材の表面に絶縁性樹脂やセラミックからなるコーティング等を施す必要があるが、遮蔽部材に耐熱性を持たせることで絶縁のためのコーティング作業が不要となる。 The shielding member may be made of metal. It becomes easy to suppress the shielding member from being melted by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated during the nail penetration test.
The shielding member may have heat resistance. For example, if the shielding member is made of metal, it is necessary to apply a coating made of an insulating resin or ceramic on the surface of the shielding member in order to prevent the shielding member from being short-circuited with the case or the electrode. By providing heat resistance, the coating work for insulation becomes unnecessary.
　また、前記遮蔽部材の内面は平坦面状であってもよい。これによれば、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスが遮蔽部材の内部において圧力開放弁に向けて流れやすい。
　上記問題点を解決するための蓄電装置は、層状構造を有する電極組立体と、電解液と、前記電極組立体及び電解液を収容したケースと、前記ケースの壁部に存在する圧力開放弁と、を有する。前記電極組立体は互いに絶縁された異なる極性の電極を備える。前記圧力開放弁は、ケース内の圧力が開放圧に達した場合に開裂し、ケース内の圧力をケース外に開放させるように構成される。前記蓄電装置はさらに、前記圧力開放弁よりも前記電極組立体寄りに配置された遮蔽部材を備える。前記遮蔽部材は、前記圧力開放弁を前記壁部に対し前記電極組立体が位置する側から覆う遮蔽部と、前記遮蔽部から前記壁部に向けて立ち上がり、かつ前記遮蔽部の面方向に沿うガス経路に対し交差する面を有するリブと、を備える。 The inner surface of the shielding member may be flat. According to this, the gas generated at the time of the nail penetration test easily flows toward the pressure release valve inside the shielding member.
A power storage device for solving the above problems includes an electrode assembly having a layered structure, an electrolytic solution, a case containing the electrode assembly and the electrolytic solution, and a pressure release valve present on a wall portion of the case. Have. The electrode assembly includes electrodes of different polarities that are insulated from each other. The pressure release valve is configured to be cleaved when the pressure in the case reaches the open pressure and to release the pressure in the case to the outside of the case. The power storage device further includes a shielding member disposed closer to the electrode assembly than the pressure release valve. The shield member covers the pressure release valve from the side where the electrode assembly is located with respect to the wall, and rises from the shield toward the wall and extends along the surface direction of the shield And a rib having a surface that intersects the gas path.
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、ケースの正面視における中央に釘が刺さると、釘を介して異なる極性の電極がケース内において短絡する。短絡が生じると、その短絡部の周辺では熱が発生し、電解液成分が分解されてガスが発生する。ガスの発生により、蓄電装置内の圧力が上昇する。そして、ケースの内部圧力が圧力開放弁の開放圧に達すると、圧力開放弁が開裂し、ケース内のガスがケース外に放出される。 According to this, when a nail is stuck in the center of the case when viewed from the front during the nail penetration test, electrodes of different polarities are short-circuited in the case via the nail. When a short circuit occurs, heat is generated around the short circuit part, and the electrolyte component is decomposed to generate gas. Due to the generation of gas, the pressure in the power storage device increases. When the internal pressure of the case reaches the open pressure of the pressure release valve, the pressure release valve is cleaved and the gas in the case is released out of the case.
　短絡部で発生した高圧のガスは、開裂した圧力開放弁に向かう。このとき、発生したガスの勢いによって電極の一部が剥ぎ取られて破片が生じる。遮蔽部は、開裂した圧力開放弁を壁部に対し電極組立体が位置する側から覆う。このため、電極組立体外へ出たガスは遮蔽部に衝突し、圧力開放弁に向かっていたガスの向きが変わり、圧力開放弁に向けたガス排出経路が長くなる。また、ガスがリブに沿って流れることで、ガス排出経路が長くなる。その結果、ガスに含まれる電極の破片がガスから落下し、よって、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外へ電極の破片が飛散することが抑止される。 The high-pressure gas generated in the short-circuited part goes to the cleaved pressure release valve. At this time, a part of the electrode is peeled off by the generated gas and the fragments are generated. The shield covers the cleaved pressure relief valve from the side where the electrode assembly is located with respect to the wall. For this reason, the gas that has flowed out of the electrode assembly collides with the shielding portion, the direction of the gas directed toward the pressure release valve changes, and the gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve becomes longer. Moreover, a gas discharge path becomes long because gas flows along a rib. As a result, electrode debris contained in the gas is prevented from falling from the gas, and thus the electrode debris is prevented from scattering from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case.
　上記問題点を解決するための蓄電装置は、層状構造を有する電極組立体と、電解液と、前記電極組立体及び電解液を収容したケースと、前記ケースの壁部に存在する圧力開放弁と、を有する。前記電極組立体は互いに絶縁された異なる極性の電極を備える。前記圧力開放弁は、ケース内の圧力が開放圧に達した場合に開裂し、ケース内の圧力をケース外に開放させるように構成される。前記壁部は、前記壁部の内面と該内面に対峙する前記電極組立体の端面との間に配置される遮蔽部材を備える。前記電極の積層方向に延びる軸をＸ軸、前記Ｘ軸に直角でかつ前記壁部に平行な軸をＹ軸とし、前記Ｘ軸の方向に前記ケースを見た正面視における前記ケースの中央に位置し、かつ前記Ｘ軸の方向における前記電極組立体の寸法の中央に位置する点を中心点とし、前記中心点と前記圧力開放弁の外形線とを最短距離で繋ぐ面で囲まれる領域を三次元領域とする。前記遮蔽部材は、前記電極組立体の前記端面に沿った前記三次元領域の断面の全てを覆う遮蔽部を備える。 A power storage device for solving the above problems includes an electrode assembly having a layered structure, an electrolytic solution, a case containing the electrode assembly and the electrolytic solution, and a pressure release valve present on a wall portion of the case. Have. The electrode assembly includes electrodes of different polarities that are insulated from each other. The pressure release valve is configured to be cleaved when the pressure in the case reaches the open pressure and to release the pressure in the case to the outside of the case. The wall portion includes a shielding member disposed between an inner surface of the wall portion and an end surface of the electrode assembly facing the inner surface. An axis extending in the stacking direction of the electrodes is an X-axis, an axis perpendicular to the X-axis and parallel to the wall portion is a Y-axis, and the center of the case in the front view when the case is viewed in the X-axis direction. And a region surrounded by a plane connecting the center point and the outer shape of the pressure relief valve at the shortest distance with a center point positioned at the center of the dimension of the electrode assembly in the X-axis direction. Let it be a three-dimensional region. The said shielding member is provided with the shielding part which covers all the cross sections of the said three-dimensional area | region along the said end surface of the said electrode assembly.
　これによれば、釘刺し試験時、ケースの正面視における中央に釘が刺さると、釘を介して異なる極性の電極がケース内において短絡する。短絡が生じると、その短絡部の周辺では熱が発生し、電解液成分が分解されてガスが発生する。ガスの発生により、蓄電装置内の圧力が上昇する。そして、ケースの内部圧力が圧力開放弁の開放圧に達すると、圧力開放弁が開裂し、ケース内のガスがケース外に放出される。 According to this, when a nail is stuck in the center of the case when viewed from the front during the nail penetration test, electrodes of different polarities are short-circuited in the case via the nail.

At this time, a part of the electrode is peeled off by the generated gas and the fragments are generated. The shield is interposed between the cleaved pressure relief valve and the cross section of the three-dimensional region, and covers the entire cross section. For this reason, the gas that has flowed out of the electrode assembly from the cross section of the three-dimensional region collides with the shielding portion, the direction of the gas that has been directed to the pressure release valve is changed, and the gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve is lengthened. As a result, electrode debris contained in the gas is prevented from falling from the gas, and thus the electrode debris is prevented from scattering from the cleaved pressure release valve to the outside of the case.
　そして、遮蔽部材が壁部に備えられるため、蓄電装置の部品点数の増加なく、開裂した圧力開放弁からケース外へ電極の破片が飛散することが抑止される。

The separator 24 insulates the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 31. The stacking direction of the electrodes 21 and 31 in the electrode assembly 12 is the short direction of the lid 14 in the case 11.

The electrode assembly 12 includes a tab side end surface 12b. The tabs 25 and 35 have shapes protruding from the tab side end surface 12b. Accordingly, the tab 25 of the positive electrode 21 is a part of the positive metal foil 21a, and the tab 35 of the negative electrode 31 is a part of the negative metal foil 31a. The positive electrode metal foil 21a has a lower melting point than the negative electrode metal foil 31a.
　図１に示すように、二次電池１０は、タブ側端面１２ｂから突出した形状の正極のタブ群２６を有する。正極のタブ群２６は、全ての正極のタブ２５を電極組立体１２における積層方向の一端側に寄せ集め、積層して構成されている。二次電池１０は、タブ側端面１２ｂから突出した形状の負極のタブ群３６を有する。負極のタブ群３６は、全ての負極のタブ３５を電極組立体１２における積層方向の一端側に寄せ集め、積層して構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the secondary battery 10 includes a positive electrode tab group 26 having a shape protruding from the tab-side end surface 12 b.

　二次電池１０は、正極導電部材４１を備える。正極導電部材４１は、正極金属箔２１ａと同じ材料製であり、本実施形態ではアルミニウム製である。正極導電部材４１は、長手が蓋体１４の長手方向に延びる矩形板状である。正極導電部材４１の長手方向一端側には正極のタブ群２６が接合されている。正極導電部材４１の長手方向他端側には正極端子４２が接合されている。 The secondary battery 10 includes a positive electrode conductive member 41. The positive electrode conductive member 41 is made of the same material as the positive electrode metal foil 21a, and is made of aluminum in this embodiment. The positive electrode conductive member 41 has a rectangular plate shape with the length extending in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. A positive electrode tab group 26 is joined to one end in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode conductive member 41. A positive electrode terminal 42 is joined to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode conductive member 41.
　二次電池１０は負極導電部材５１を備える。負極導電部材５１は、負極金属箔３１ａと同じ材料製であり、本実施形態では銅製である。よって、正極導電部材４１は負極導電部材５１よりも融点が低い。負極導電部材５１は、長手が蓋体１４の長手方向に延びる矩形板状である。負極導電部材５１の長手方向一端側には負極のタブ群３６が接合されている。負極導電部材５１の長手方向他端側には負極端子５２が接合されている。正極導電部材４１及び負極導電部材５１は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａと、この内面１４ａに対峙した電極組立体１２のタブ側端面１２ｂとの間に配置されている。 The secondary battery 10 includes a negative electrode conductive member 51. The negative electrode conductive member 51 is made of the same material as the negative electrode metal foil 31a, and is made of copper in this embodiment. Therefore, the positive electrode conductive member 41 has a lower melting point than the negative electrode conductive member 51. The negative electrode conductive member 51 is in the shape of a rectangular plate whose length extends in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. A negative electrode tab group 36 is joined to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode conductive member 51. A negative electrode terminal 52 is joined to the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode conductive member 51. The positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 are disposed between the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and the tab side end surface 12b of the electrode assembly 12 facing the inner surface 14a.
　正極導電部材４１と負極導電部材５１とは、蓋体１４の長手方向に沿って離れている。正極端子４２及び負極端子５２は、蓋体１４を貫通してその一部がケース１１外に露出している。また、正極端子４２及び負極端子５２には、ケース１１から絶縁するためのリング状の絶縁部材１７ａがそれぞれ取り付けられている。 The positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 are separated along the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. The positive electrode terminal 42 and the negative electrode terminal 52 pass through the lid body 14 and a part thereof is exposed outside the case 11. In addition, ring-shaped insulating members 17 a for insulating from the case 11 are attached to the positive terminal 42 and the negative terminal 52, respectively.
　二次電池１０は、圧力開放弁１８を壁部としての蓋体１４に備える。圧力開放弁１８は、ケース１１内の圧力が所定の圧力である開放圧に達した場合に開裂する。圧力開放弁１８の開裂により、ケース１１内の圧力がケース１１外に開放される。 The secondary battery 10 includes a pressure release valve 18 in a lid 14 serving as a wall. The pressure release valve 18 is cleaved when the pressure in the case 11 reaches an open pressure that is a predetermined pressure. The pressure in the case 11 is released outside the case 11 by the cleavage of the pressure release valve 18.
　圧力開放弁１８の開放圧は、ケース１１自体やケース本体１３と蓋体１４との接合部に亀裂や破断などが生じ得る前に開裂し得る圧力に設定されている。圧力開放弁１８は、蓋体１４の板厚よりも薄い薄板状の弁体１９を有する。弁体１９は、蓋体１４の両面のうちケース１１の外側に位置する外面１４ｂに凹設された凹部２０の底に位置しており、蓋体１４と一体的に成形されている。 The opening pressure of the pressure release valve 18 is set to a pressure at which the case 11 itself or the joint portion between the case body 13 and the lid body 14 can be broken before cracks or breaks can occur. The pressure release valve 18 has a thin plate-like valve body 19 that is thinner than the plate thickness of the lid body 14. The valve body 19 is positioned at the bottom of the recess 20 formed in the outer surface 14 b positioned outside the case 11 out of both surfaces of the lid 14, and is formed integrally with the lid 14.
　圧力開放弁１８は、蓋体１４の長手方向の中央よりも正極端子４２寄りに位置する。また、圧力開放弁１８は、蓋体１４の短手方向の中央に位置する。図５に示すように、圧力開放弁１８の中心位置Ｃ１は、蓋体１４の長手方向において正極電極２１のタブ２５（タブ群２６）と負極電極３１のタブ３５（タブ群３６）との間の中心位置Ｃ２よりも正極導電部材４１寄りに位置している。蓋体１４を外面１４ｂから見て、圧力開放弁１８は長孔状である。 The pressure release valve 18 is located closer to the positive electrode terminal 42 than the center in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. Further, the pressure release valve 18 is located at the center of the lid 14 in the short direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the central position C1 of the pressure release valve 18 is between the tab 25 (tab group 26) of the positive electrode 21 and the tab 35 (tab group 36) of the negative electrode 31 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. It is located closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 than the center position C2. The pressure release valve 18 has a long hole shape when the lid 14 is viewed from the outer surface 14b.
　図１、図４又は図５に示すように、二次電池１０は、遮蔽部材６０を備える。遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の長手方向における正極導電部材４１と負極導電部材５１の間に配置されている。また、遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａとタブ側端面１２ｂとの間に配置され、タブ側端面１２ｂ上に載置されている。遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａ及びタブ側端面１２ｂに対し固定されておらず、蓋体１４と電極組立体１２との間で若干移動可能である。遮蔽部材６０は合成樹脂製であり、例えば、ポリイミド系といった耐熱樹脂製であるのが好ましい。このため、遮蔽部材６０は、ケース１１内において正極電位の部材と負極電位の部材とを短絡させない。 As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, the secondary battery 10 includes a shielding member 60. The shielding member 60 is disposed between the positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. The shielding member 60 is disposed between the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and the tab side end surface 12b, and is placed on the tab side end surface 12b. The shielding member 60 is not fixed with respect to the inner surface 14 a and the tab side end surface 12 b of the lid body 14, and is slightly movable between the lid body 14 and the electrode assembly 12. The shielding member 60 is made of a synthetic resin, and is preferably made of a heat resistant resin such as polyimide. For this reason, the shielding member 60 does not short-circuit the positive potential member and the negative potential member in the case 11.
　遮蔽部材６０は、矩形板状の遮蔽部６１を備える。遮蔽部６１の長手は、蓋体１４の長手方向に延びる。遮蔽部材６０は、遮蔽部６１の一対の長縁部から蓋体１４に向けて立設した形状の第１リブ６２を備える。第１リブ６２は、蓋体１４の長手方向に長手が延びる形状である。遮蔽部材６０は、第２リブ６３を備える。第２リブ６３は、遮蔽部６１の一対の短縁部のうち、正極導電部材４１寄りの短縁部から蓋体１４に向けて立設した形状である。一対の第１リブ６２と第２リブ６３とは互いに連結されている。 The shielding member 60 includes a rectangular plate-shaped shielding part 61. The longitudinal direction of the shielding part 61 extends in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. The shielding member 60 includes a first rib 62 having a shape erected from the pair of long edge portions of the shielding portion 61 toward the lid body 14. The first rib 62 has a shape that extends in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. The shielding member 60 includes a second rib 63. The second rib 63 has a shape erected from the short edge portion close to the positive electrode conductive member 41 toward the lid body 14 among the pair of short edge portions of the shielding portion 61. The pair of first ribs 62 and second ribs 63 are connected to each other.
　正極導電部材４１の長手方向の一端面には、第２リブ６３の外面が接触可能である。また、負極のタブ群３６の側面には、遮蔽部６１の端面が接触可能である。遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の長手方向に僅かに移動すると、正極導電部材４１又は負極のタブ群３６に速やかに接触する。このため、遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の長手方向への移動が規制されている。したがって、正極導電部材４１及び負極のタブ群３６は、蓋体１４の長手方向への遮蔽部材６０の移動を規制する移動規制部材として機能する。 The outer surface of the second rib 63 can contact one end surface of the positive electrode conductive member 41 in the longitudinal direction. Further, the end surface of the shielding portion 61 can contact the side surface of the negative electrode tab group 36. When the shielding member 60 moves slightly in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14, it quickly contacts the positive electrode conductive member 41 or the tab group 36 of the negative electrode. For this reason, as for the shielding member 60, the movement to the longitudinal direction of the cover body 14 is controlled. Therefore, the positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode tab group 36 function as a movement regulating member that regulates the movement of the shielding member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14.
　ケース本体１３の一方の長側壁１３ｄの内面には、一方の第１リブ６２の外面が接触可能であり、他方の長側壁１３ｄの内面には、他方の第１リブ６２の外面が接触可能である。遮蔽部材６０は、ケース１１の内面である各長側壁１３ｄの内面から離間した状態にある。しかし、遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の短手方向に僅かに移動すると、いずれかの長側壁１３ｄに速やかに接触する。このため、遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の短手方向への移動が規制されている。よって、遮蔽部材６０は、タブ側端面１２ｂに沿ういずれの方向への移動も規制されている。 The outer surface of one first rib 62 can be in contact with the inner surface of one long side wall 13d of the case body 13, and the outer surface of the other first rib 62 can be in contact with the inner surface of the other long side wall 13d. is there. The shielding member 60 is in a state of being separated from the inner surface of each long side wall 13 d that is the inner surface of the case 11. However, when the shielding member 60 moves slightly in the short direction of the lid body 14, it quickly comes into contact with any of the long side walls 13 d. For this reason, as for the shielding member 60, the movement to the transversal direction of the cover body 14 is controlled. Therefore, the movement of the shielding member 60 in any direction along the tab-side end surface 12b is restricted.
　蓋体１４の長手方向における正極導電部材４１と負極導電部材５１の間に遮蔽部材６０が存在する。タブ側端面１２ｂの長手方向における中央部であり、正極導電部材４１と負極導電部材５１と一対の長側壁１３ｄとで囲まれた部分を、被覆領域Ｈとする。この被覆領域Ｈは遮蔽部材６０によって覆われている。蓋体１４の内面１４ａと、ケース本体１３の底面とを最短距離で結ぶ直線の延びる方向を高さ方向とする。遮蔽部材６０において、遮蔽部６１におけるタブ側端面１２ｂに載置される面を外面６１ａとし、蓋体１４の内面１４ａと対向する面を内面６１ｅとする。 A shielding member 60 exists between the positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. A portion that is a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the tab-side end surface 12b and is surrounded by the positive electrode conductive member 41, the negative electrode conductive member 51, and the pair of long side walls 13d is referred to as a covering region H. This covering region H is covered with a shielding member 60. A direction in which a straight line connecting the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and the bottom surface of the case main body 13 with the shortest distance is defined as a height direction. In the shielding member 60, a surface of the shielding part 61 placed on the tab side end surface 12b is an outer surface 61a, and a surface facing the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 is an inner surface 61e.
　図５に示すように、遮蔽部材６０において、遮蔽部６１からの第１リブ６２の立設方向に沿う寸法のうち、遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａからの第１リブ６２の寸法を立設距離Ｈ１とする。また、遮蔽部材６０において、遮蔽部６１からの第２リブ６３の立設方向に沿う寸法のうち、遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａからの寸法を立設距離Ｈ２とする。第２リブ６３の立設距離Ｈ２は、第１リブ６２の立設距離Ｈ１より短い。よって、第１リブ６２の遮蔽部６１からの突出端は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａにほぼ接触する位置にある。一方、第２リブ６３の遮蔽部６１からの突出端は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａから離間している。これは、二次電池１０に対する釘刺し試験時に発生したガスが、正極導電部材４１が位置する側から圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れ込むための流路を確保するためである。なお、第２リブ６３の遮蔽部６１からの突出端は、正極導電部材４１よりも蓋体１４寄りの位置にある。すなわち、第２リブ６３の突出端の位置は、正極導電部材４１を蓋体１４寄りに越えた位置にある。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the shielding member 60, among the dimensions along the standing direction of the first rib 62 from the shielding part 61, the dimension of the first rib 62 from the outer surface 61a of the shielding part 61 is the standing distance H1. And In the shielding member 60, the dimension from the outer surface 61a of the shielding part 61 among the dimensions along the standing direction of the second rib 63 from the shielding part 61 is defined as the standing distance H2. The standing distance H <b> 2 of the second rib 63 is shorter than the standing distance H <b> 1 of the first rib 62. Therefore, the protruding end of the first rib 62 from the shielding portion 61 is in a position that substantially contacts the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14. On the other hand, the protruding end of the second rib 63 from the shielding portion 61 is separated from the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14. This is to secure a flow path for the gas generated during the nail penetration test for the secondary battery 10 to flow toward the pressure release valve 18 from the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located. Note that the protruding end of the second rib 63 from the shielding portion 61 is located closer to the lid body 14 than the positive electrode conductive member 41. That is, the position of the protruding end of the second rib 63 is at a position beyond the positive electrode conductive member 41 closer to the lid body 14.
　図４に示すように、タブ側端面１２ｂに載置された遮蔽部材６０において、一対の第１リブ６２は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａにおける圧力開放弁１８を囲む場所のうち、蓋体１４の短手方向における圧力開放弁１８よりも外側に接触可能である。第２リブ６３は、蓋体１４の長手方向における圧力開放弁１８よりも正極導電部材４１寄りの外側に位置する。よって、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３は、蓋体１４を外面１４ｂから見て圧力開放弁１８に重ならない位置にある。二次電池１０が振動したりして電極組立体１２が蓋体１４に向けて移動すると、遮蔽部材６０も蓋体１４に向けて移動し、第１リブ６２が蓋体１４の内面１４ａに接触する。この接触により、遮蔽部６１と蓋体１４とが隔てられている。よって、本実施形態では、第１リブ６２が遮蔽部材６０の間隔保持部を構成している。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the shielding member 60 placed on the tab-side end surface 12 b, the pair of first ribs 62 of the lid body 14 out of the places surrounding the pressure release valve 18 on the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14. It is possible to contact the outside of the pressure release valve 18 in the short direction. The second rib 63 is located on the outer side closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 than the pressure release valve 18 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. Therefore, the 1st rib 62 and the 2nd rib 63 exist in the position which does not overlap with the pressure release valve 18 seeing the cover body 14 from the outer surface 14b. When the secondary battery 10 vibrates or the electrode assembly 12 moves toward the lid body 14, the shielding member 60 also moves toward the lid body 14, and the first rib 62 contacts the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14. To do. The shielding part 61 and the lid body 14 are separated by this contact. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first rib 62 constitutes the interval holding portion of the shielding member 60.
　また、蓋体１４に対し電極組立体１２が位置する側から蓋体１４の内面１４ａに向けて遮蔽部材６０を見た場合、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３は、遮蔽部６１の外形線で画定される面内に存在する。すなわち、遮蔽部材６０は、該遮蔽部材６０を蓋体１４に固定するために各リブ６２，６３の外面から突出する形状のフランジを備えず、各リブ６２，６３の外面は平坦面状である。 Further, when the shielding member 60 is viewed from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located with respect to the lid body 14 toward the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14, the first rib 62 and the second rib 63 are the outline of the shielding portion 61. In the plane defined by That is, the shielding member 60 does not include a flange having a shape protruding from the outer surface of each rib 62, 63 in order to fix the shielding member 60 to the lid body 14, and the outer surface of each rib 62, 63 is flat. .
　図２又は図６に示すように、ケース１１の正面視において、２本の対線が交差する位置を正面視におけるケース１１の中央とする。この正面視におけるケース１１の中央に位置し、かつ電極２１，３１の積層方向における電極組立体１２の中心に位置する点を、中心点Ｐとする。この中心点Ｐと、圧力開放弁１８における弁体１９の外形線とを最短距離で繋ぐ面で囲まれる領域を三次元領域Ｒとする。 As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 6, in the front view of the case 11, the position where the two paired lines intersect is the center of the case 11 in the front view. A point located at the center of the case 11 in the front view and at the center of the electrode assembly 12 in the stacking direction of the electrodes 21 and 31 is defined as a center point P. A region surrounded by a plane connecting the center point P and the outline of the valve body 19 of the pressure release valve 18 with the shortest distance is defined as a three-dimensional region R.
　三次元領域Ｒは、中心点Ｐと、圧力開放弁１８における弁体１９の表面と、中心点Ｐと弁体１９の表面とを繋ぐ面とで囲まれる領域である。三次元領域Ｒは、圧力開放弁１８から中心点Ｐに向かうに従い窄まる形状であり、円錐に似た形状である。圧力開放弁１８は、蓋体１４の長手方向における正極端子４２寄りに位置する。このため、三次元領域Ｒは、蓋体１４の長手方向において正極端子４２に向かって傾いた形状である。 The three-dimensional region R is a region surrounded by the center point P, the surface of the valve body 19 in the pressure release valve 18, and a surface connecting the center point P and the surface of the valve body 19. The three-dimensional region R has a shape that narrows from the pressure release valve 18 toward the center point P, and has a shape similar to a cone. The pressure release valve 18 is located closer to the positive electrode terminal 42 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. For this reason, the three-dimensional region R has a shape inclined toward the positive electrode terminal 42 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14.
　図４又は図６に示すように、三次元領域Ｒにおいて、タブ側端面１２ｂに沿う断面を断面Ｒａとする。断面Ｒａは、蓋体１４の長手方向に沿う寸法が弁体１９よりも若干小さい。そして、タブ側端面１２ｂの被覆領域Ｈに、三次元領域Ｒの断面Ｒａが存在する。タブ側端面１２ｂ上に存在する断面Ｒａは、タブ側端面１２ｂに載置された遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａによって全面が覆われている。 As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 6, in the three-dimensional region R, a cross section along the tab side end surface 12 b is defined as a cross section Ra. The cross-section Ra is slightly smaller in dimension along the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14 than the valve body 19. A cross section Ra of the three-dimensional region R exists in the covering region H of the tab side end surface 12b. The entire surface of the cross section Ra existing on the tab side end surface 12b is covered with the outer surface 61a of the shielding portion 61 placed on the tab side end surface 12b.
　次に、二次電池１０の作用を記載する。
　さて、図６に示すように、釘刺し試験を行うため、二次電池１０の正面視でケース１１の中央に釘を刺すと、その釘は、電極組立体１２を積層方向に貫通する。すると、釘を介して正極電極２１と負極電極３１の間のセパレータ２４が破断又は溶融し、正極電極２１と負極電極３１とがケース１１内において短絡する。 Next, the operation of the secondary battery 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, when a nail is inserted into the center of the case 11 in a front view of the secondary battery 10 in order to perform a nail penetration test, the nail penetrates the electrode assembly 12 in the stacking direction. Then, the separator 24 between the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 31 is broken or melted via the nail, and the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 31 are short-circuited in the case 11.
　電極組立体１２で短絡が生じると、その短絡部の周辺では熱が発生し、電解液成分が分解されてガスが発生する。ガスの発生により、二次電池１０内の圧力上昇が生じる。そして、ケース１１の内部圧力が圧力開放弁１８の開放圧に達すると、圧力開放弁１８の弁体１９が開裂し、ケース１１内のガスがケース１１外に放出される。 When a short circuit occurs in the electrode assembly 12, heat is generated around the short circuit part, and the electrolyte component is decomposed to generate gas. Due to the generation of gas, the pressure in the secondary battery 10 increases. When the internal pressure of the case 11 reaches the open pressure of the pressure release valve 18, the valve body 19 of the pressure release valve 18 is cleaved and the gas in the case 11 is released to the outside of the case 11.
　短絡部のうち中心点Ｐで発生した高圧のガスは、矢印Ｙに示すように、開裂した圧力開放弁１８に向けて三次元領域Ｒ内を通過して上昇する。また、発生するガスの勢いによって各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの一部が剥ぎ取られて破片を生じる。圧力開放弁１８に向かうガスは、タブ側端面１２ｂの被覆領域Ｈのうち、三次元領域Ｒの断面Ｒａから電極組立体１２の外へ出る。すると、ガスは、三次元領域Ｒの断面Ｒａを覆う遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａに衝突し、外面６１ａに沿って向きを変える。 The high-pressure gas generated at the center point P in the short-circuit portion rises through the three-dimensional region R toward the cleaved pressure release valve 18 as indicated by the arrow Y. In addition, the electrodes 21, 31 and the metal foils 21a, 31a are partly peeled off by the generated gas force to generate debris. The gas toward the pressure release valve 18 exits from the electrode assembly 12 through the cross section Ra of the three-dimensional region R in the covering region H of the tab side end surface 12b. Then, the gas collides with the outer surface 61a of the shielding part 61 that covers the cross section Ra of the three-dimensional region R, and changes its direction along the outer surface 61a.
　遮蔽部６１への衝突により向きを変えたガスは、第１リブ６２や第２リブ６３に沿って上昇し、各リブ６２，６３の先端面と蓋体１４の内面１４ａとの隙間を通って、圧力開放弁１８に至る。また、正極のタブ群２６のタブ２５間を通過したガスは、正極導電部材４１が位置する側から遮蔽部６１の内面６１ｅを流れて圧力開放弁１８に至る。負極のタブ群３６のタブ３５間を通過したガスは、負極導電部材５１が位置する側から遮蔽部６１の内面６１ｅを流れて圧力開放弁１８に至る。よって、ガスは、遮蔽部材６０の内部において圧力開放弁１８の周囲の至る所から圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れる。したがって、ガス経路は、遮蔽部６１の内面６１ｅに沿った何れの位置にも存在する。本実施形態では、一対の第１リブ６２の外面は、蓋体１４の短手方向に沿って圧力開放弁１８に向かうガス経路に対し直交した面であり、第２リブ６３の外面は、蓋体１４の長手方向に沿って圧力開放弁１８に向かうガス経路に対し直交した面となる。 The gas whose direction has changed due to the collision with the shielding part 61 rises along the first rib 62 and the second rib 63, and passes through the gap between the tip surface of each rib 62, 63 and the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14. To the pressure relief valve 18. Further, the gas that has passed through between the tabs 25 of the positive electrode tab group 26 flows from the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located through the inner surface 61 e of the shielding portion 61 to the pressure release valve 18. The gas that has passed between the tabs 35 of the negative electrode tab group 36 flows from the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located to the pressure release valve 18 through the inner surface 61 e of the shielding portion 61. Therefore, the gas flows toward the pressure release valve 18 from everywhere around the pressure release valve 18 inside the shielding member 60. Therefore, the gas path exists at any position along the inner surface 61 e of the shielding part 61. In the present embodiment, the outer surfaces of the pair of first ribs 62 are surfaces orthogonal to the gas path toward the pressure release valve 18 along the short direction of the lid body 14, and the outer surfaces of the second ribs 63 are lids The surface is perpendicular to the gas path toward the pressure relief valve 18 along the longitudinal direction of the body 14.
　蓋体１４の長手方向及び面方向に沿って圧力開放弁１８にガスが向かう方向をガス排出方向とする。釘刺し試験時に発生したガスは、正極導電部材４１が位置する側にある第２リブ６３を越えて圧力開放弁１８に向かう正極側ガス排出経路を流れる。また、ガスは、負極導電部材５１が位置する側から圧力開放弁１８に向かう負極側ガス排出経路を流れる。 The direction in which the gas is directed to the pressure release valve 18 along the longitudinal direction and the surface direction of the lid body 14 is a gas discharge direction. The gas generated during the nail penetration test flows through the positive gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve 18 over the second rib 63 on the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located. Further, the gas flows through the negative electrode side gas discharge path from the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located toward the pressure release valve 18.
　この場合、正極側ガス排出経路を流れるガスは、一対の第１リブ６２と、第２リブ６３と、蓋体１４とで囲まれた流路を通過して、正極導電部材４１が位置する側から圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れる。 In this case, the gas flowing in the positive electrode side gas discharge path passes through the flow path surrounded by the pair of first ribs 62, second ribs 63, and the lid body 14, and the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located. To the pressure relief valve 18.
　一方、負極側ガス排出経路を流れるガスは、一対の第１リブ６２と、遮蔽部６１と、蓋体１４とで囲まれた流路を通過して、負極導電部材５１が位置する側から圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れる。その後、ガスは、開裂した圧力開放弁１８からケース１１外へ排出される。第２リブ６３が正極導電部材４１に近接した正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗の方が、第２リブ６３が存在しない負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より大きい。言い換えると、正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積は、負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積より小さい。したがって、２つのガス排出経路のうち、正極側ガス排出経路の方が負極側ガス排出経路よりもガスが流れやすい。 On the other hand, the gas flowing through the negative electrode side gas discharge path passes through a flow passage surrounded by the pair of first ribs 62, the shielding part 61, and the lid body 14, and is pressure from the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located. It flows toward the release valve 18. Thereafter, the gas is discharged out of the case 11 from the cleaved pressure release valve 18. The flow path resistance of the positive gas discharge path where the second rib 63 is close to the positive electrode conductive member 41 is greater than the flow resistance of the negative gas discharge path where the second rib 63 is not present. In other words, the flow path cross-sectional area of the positive electrode side gas discharge path is smaller than that of the negative electrode side gas discharge path. Therefore, out of the two gas discharge paths, the positive gas discharge path is more likely to flow the gas than the negative gas discharge path.
　上記実施形態によれば、以下のような効果を得ることができる。
　（１）遮蔽部材６０の遮蔽部６１は、短絡部に存在する中心点Ｐと圧力開放弁１８を繋ぐ三次元領域Ｒのうち、タブ側端面１２ｂ上に位置する断面Ｒａの全面を覆っている。このため、釘刺し試験時、圧力開放弁１８に向かうガスを遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａに衝突させ、ガスの流れる向きを、圧力開放弁１８へ真っ直ぐに向かう経路から外し、圧力開放弁１８に向けたガス排出経路を長くすることができる。その結果、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をケース１１内に落下させ、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。 According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The shielding part 61 of the shielding member 60 covers the entire surface of the cross-section Ra located on the tab-side end face 12b in the three-dimensional region R that connects the center point P existing in the short-circuit part and the pressure release valve 18. . For this reason, during the nail penetration test, the gas directed to the pressure release valve 18 is collided with the outer surface 61a of the shielding portion 61, the direction of gas flow is removed from the path that goes straight to the pressure release valve 18, and the gas release direction is directed to the pressure release valve 18. The gas discharge path can be lengthened. As a result, the pieces of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21a and 31a contained in the gas are dropped into the case 11, and the fragments are prevented from scattering out of the case 11 together with the gas, thereby suppressing the generation of sparks. it can.
　（２）遮蔽部材６０の第１リブ６２は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａに接触して、遮蔽部６１と蓋体１４とを隔てた状態を維持し、両面の間隔を保持する。このため、タブ側端面１２ｂに遮蔽部材６０が載置された構成であっても、ガスの流路を確保し、圧力開放弁１８からケース１１外へのガス排出機能を維持できる。 (2) The first ribs 62 of the shielding member 60 are in contact with the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 to maintain a state in which the shielding portion 61 and the lid body 14 are separated from each other, and maintain a gap between both surfaces. For this reason, even if it is the structure by which the shielding member 60 was mounted in the tab side end surface 12b, the gas flow path is ensured and the gas discharge function from the pressure release valve 18 out of the case 11 can be maintained.
　（３）遮蔽部材６０の一対の第１リブ６２は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａのうち、短手方向における圧力開放弁１８の外側に接触する。このため、第１リブ６２が圧力開放弁１８を塞ぐことが無い。 (3) The pair of first ribs 62 of the shielding member 60 are in contact with the outer side of the pressure release valve 18 in the short side direction on the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14. For this reason, the first rib 62 does not block the pressure release valve 18.
　（４）遮蔽部材６０の第１リブ６２は、蓋体１４の短手方向における圧力開放弁１８の外側に位置する。釘刺し試験時、温度上昇によって電極組立体１２は積層方向に膨張し、ガスは電極組立体１２の積層方向における両側から圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れる。これらのガスを第１リブ６２に衝突させ、各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をガスから落下させることができる。 (4) The first rib 62 of the shielding member 60 is located outside the pressure release valve 18 in the short direction of the lid body 14. During the nail penetration test, the electrode assembly 12 expands in the stacking direction due to the temperature rise, and the gas flows from both sides in the stacking direction of the electrode assembly 12 toward the pressure release valve 18. These gases can be made to collide with the first rib 62, and the pieces of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21a and 31a can be dropped from the gas.
　（５）遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の短手方向に延びる第２リブ６３を備える。このため、正極導電部材４１が位置する側から遮蔽部材６０にガスが流れてきても、ガスを第２リブ６３に衝突させ、各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をガスから落下させることができる。 (5) The shielding member 60 includes a second rib 63 extending in the short direction of the lid body 14. For this reason, even if gas flows into the shielding member 60 from the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located, the gas collides with the second rib 63, and the fragments of the electrodes 21, 31 and the metal foils 21a, 31a are separated from the gas. Can be dropped.
　（６）第２リブ６３は、遮蔽部材６０における圧力開放弁１８から正極導電部材４１寄りに位置する。このため、アルミニウム製の正極導電部材４１やタブ２５の一部が高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり、削り取られたりしても、第２リブ６３に衝突させることで、ケース１１の外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 (6) The second rib 63 is located closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 from the pressure release valve 18 in the shielding member 60. For this reason, even if a part of the positive electrode conductive member 41 made of aluminum or the tab 25 is melted or scraped off by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas, it is discharged out of the case 11 by colliding with the second rib 63. Can be suppressed.
　（７）遮蔽部材６０は、各第１リブ６２の外面が長側壁１３ｄの内面から離間した状態でタブ側端面１２ｂに載置されている。これにより、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片を遮蔽部材６０によってケース１１内に落下させつつも、圧力開放弁１８を遮蔽部材６０が塞がず、圧力開放弁１８の作動が妨げられることがない。 (7) The shielding member 60 is placed on the tab-side end surface 12b in a state where the outer surface of each first rib 62 is separated from the inner surface of the long side wall 13d. Thus, the pressure release valve 18 is not blocked by the shielding member 60 while the electrodes 21 and 31 and the pieces of the metal foils 21a and 31a included in the gas are dropped into the case 11 by the shielding member 60, and the pressure is released. The operation of the valve 18 is not hindered.
　（８）遮蔽部材６０は、タブ側端面１２ｂに載置されている。このため、タブ側端面１２ｂ上の断面Ｒａから電極組立体１２外へ出たガスを、即座に遮蔽部６１に衝突させることができる。よって、圧力開放弁１８に向かっていたガスの向きを速やかに変え、圧力開放弁１８に向けたガス排出経路を速やかに長くすることができる。 (8) The shielding member 60 is placed on the tab side end face 12b. For this reason, the gas which went out of the electrode assembly 12 from the cross section Ra on the tab side end surface 12b can be made to collide with the shielding part 61 immediately. Therefore, the direction of the gas that has been directed to the pressure release valve 18 can be quickly changed, and the gas discharge path directed to the pressure release valve 18 can be quickly lengthened.
　（９）遮蔽部材６０は耐熱樹脂製である。このため、釘刺し試験時に発生した高温のガスによって、遮蔽部材６０が溶融することを抑制できる。
　（１０）遮蔽部材６０は、遮蔽部６１から立ち上がる第１リブ６２を一対備える。このため、二次電池１０が振動して電極組立体１２が蓋体１４に向けて移動しても、遮蔽部材６０が蓋体１４に向かって移動し、第１リブ６２が蓋体１４に当接する。このため、電極組立体１２が蓋体１４に衝突することを回避して、電極組立体１２が損傷することを抑制できる。 (9) The shielding member 60 is made of heat resistant resin. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the shielding member 60 from being melted by the high-temperature gas generated during the nail penetration test.
(10) The shielding member 60 includes a pair of first ribs 62 that rise from the shielding part 61. Therefore, even if the secondary battery 10 vibrates and the electrode assembly 12 moves toward the lid body 14, the shielding member 60 moves toward the lid body 14, and the first rib 62 contacts the lid body 14. Touch. For this reason, it can avoid that the electrode assembly 12 collides with the cover body 14, and can suppress that the electrode assembly 12 is damaged.
　（１１）遮蔽部材６０は第２リブ６３を備える。このため、釘刺し試験時、被覆部５５に衝突したガスが正極側のタブ群２６の間を通過する際や、正極導電部材４１に沿って流れる際、アルミニウム製のタブ２５の一部や正極導電部材４１の一部が高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり、削り取られたりしても、第２リブ６３に衝突させることで、ケース１１の外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 (11) The shielding member 60 includes a second rib 63. For this reason, during the nail penetration test, when the gas colliding with the covering portion 55 passes between the tab groups 26 on the positive electrode side or flows along the positive electrode conductive member 41, a part of the aluminum tab 25 or the positive electrode Even if a part of the conductive member 41 is melted or scraped off by high-temperature and high-pressure gas, it can be prevented from being discharged out of the case 11 by colliding with the second rib 63.
　そして、第２リブ６３を備えることにより、正極導電部材４１に近接した正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗は、負極導電部材５１に近接した負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より大きい。言い換えると、正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積は、負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積より小さい。このため、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗が大きい（流路断面積が小さい）分、ガスは負極導電部材５１が位置する側に流れやすい。ここで、負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積は、正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積より大きいため、負極側ガス排出経路から圧力開放弁１８に向けてガスが流れやすく、ケース１１内の圧力が上昇することを抑制できる。 By providing the second rib 63, the flow path resistance of the positive gas discharge path close to the positive electrode conductive member 41 is larger than the flow resistance of the negative gas discharge path close to the negative electrode conductive member 51. In other words, the flow path cross-sectional area of the positive electrode side gas discharge path is smaller than that of the negative electrode side gas discharge path. For this reason, the gas tends to flow to the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located because the flow path resistance of the positive gas discharge path is large (the flow path cross-sectional area is small). Here, since the flow path cross-sectional area of the negative electrode side gas discharge path is larger than the flow path cross sectional area of the positive electrode side gas discharge path, the gas easily flows from the negative electrode side gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve 18, It is possible to suppress an increase in pressure.
　（１２）第２リブ６３の遮蔽部６１からの突出端は、正極導電部材４１よりも蓋体１４寄りの位置にある。このため、釘刺し試験時、ガスが正極側のタブ群２６の間を通過して正極導電部材４１に衝突し、アルミニウム製の正極導電部材４１の一部が高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり、削り取られたりしても、第２リブ６３によって、ガスを第２リブ６３に衝突させて、正極導電部材４１の破片がケース１１の外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 (12) The protruding end of the second rib 63 from the shielding portion 61 is located closer to the lid body 14 than the positive electrode conductive member 41. For this reason, during the nail penetration test, the gas passes between the tabs 26 on the positive electrode side and collides with the positive electrode conductive member 41, and a part of the aluminum positive electrode conductive member 41 is melted by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas, Even if scraped off, the second rib 63 can prevent the gas from colliding with the second rib 63 and discharging the fragments of the positive electrode conductive member 41 to the outside of the case 11.
　その一方で、第２リブ６３の遮蔽部６１からの突出端は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａから離間している。このため、正極導電部材４１に沿って圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れるガスの経路を確保して、正極導電部材４１が位置する側から出たガスを圧力開放弁１８からケース１１外へ排出でき、ケース１１内における過度な圧力上昇を抑止できる。 On the other hand, the protruding end of the second rib 63 from the shielding portion 61 is separated from the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14. For this reason, the path | route of the gas which flows toward the pressure release valve 18 along the positive electrode conductive member 41 is ensured, and the gas emitted from the side in which the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located can be discharged | emitted out of the case 11 from the pressure release valve 18. The excessive pressure rise in the case 11 can be suppressed.
　（１３）遮蔽部材６０は耐熱樹脂製である。例えば、遮蔽部材６０を金属製とすると、遮蔽部材６０の表面に絶縁性樹脂やセラミックのコーティング等を施す必要があるが、耐熱樹脂製とすることで絶縁のためのコーティング作業が不要となる。 (13) The shielding member 60 is made of a heat resistant resin. For example, when the shielding member 60 is made of metal, the surface of the shielding member 60 needs to be coated with an insulating resin or ceramic, but by using a heat-resistant resin, a coating operation for insulation becomes unnecessary.
　（１４）正極電極２１のタブ２５は正極金属箔２１ａの一部であり、負極電極３１のタブ３５は負極金属箔３１ａの一部である。このため、正極電極２１及び負極電極３１を積層した時点で、正極電極２１のタブ２５を積層したタブ群２６と、負極電極３１のタブ３５を積層したタブ群３６との間に、遮蔽部材６０を配置できるスペースを確保できる。例えば、各電極２１，３１に対し、タブを別体で設ける場合のように、タブ間のスペースのサイズがばらついて、遮蔽部材６０を配置できなくなる不具合が無い。 (14) The tab 25 of the positive electrode 21 is a part of the positive metal foil 21a, and the tab 35 of the negative electrode 31 is a part of the negative metal foil 31a. Therefore, when the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 31 are stacked, the shielding member 60 is provided between the tab group 26 in which the tabs 25 of the positive electrode 21 are stacked and the tab group 36 in which the tabs 35 of the negative electrode 31 are stacked. Space can be secured. For example, there is no inconvenience that the shielding member 60 cannot be disposed because the size of the space between the tabs varies as in the case where the tabs are provided separately for the electrodes 21 and 31.
　（１５）遮蔽部材６０の第１リブ６２には板厚方向に貫通する孔が存在しない。このため、孔が存在する場合と比べると、第１リブ６２の剛性を高めることができ、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスによって遮蔽部材６０が蓋体１４に向けて移動し、第１リブ６２が蓋体１４に当たっても第１リブ６２が変形することを抑制できる。 (15) The first rib 62 of the shielding member 60 does not have a hole penetrating in the thickness direction. For this reason, compared with the case where a hole exists, the rigidity of the 1st rib 62 can be improved, the shielding member 60 moves toward the cover body 14 with the gas generated at the time of the nail penetration test, and the 1st rib 62 is Even if it hits the lid 14, it is possible to prevent the first rib 62 from being deformed.
　（１６）蓋体１４に対し電極組立体１２が位置する側から蓋体１４の内面１４ａに向けて遮蔽部材６０を見た場合、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３は、遮蔽部６１の外形線で画定される面内に存在する。このため、遮蔽部材６０は、該遮蔽部材６０を蓋体１４に固定するために各リブ６２，６３の外面から突出する形状のフランジを備えない。したがって、遮蔽部材６０を蓋体１４に固定するためのフランジを備える場合と比べて、タブ側端面１２ｂと蓋体１４との間の空間を広くすることができる。 (16) When the shielding member 60 is viewed from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located toward the inner surface 14 a of the lid body 14 with respect to the lid body 14, the first rib 62 and the second rib 63 are the outer shape of the shielding portion 61. Exists in the plane defined by the line. For this reason, the shielding member 60 does not include a flange having a shape protruding from the outer surface of each of the ribs 62 and 63 in order to fix the shielding member 60 to the lid body 14. Therefore, the space between the tab-side end surface 12b and the lid body 14 can be widened as compared with the case where a flange for fixing the shielding member 60 to the lid body 14 is provided.
　（１７）正極導電部材４１の長手方向の一端面には、第２リブ６３の外面が接触可能である。また、折り曲げ状態にある負極のタブ群３６の側面には、遮蔽部６１の端面が接触可能である。このため、正極導電部材４１と負極のタブ群３６とにより、蓋体１４の長手方向への遮蔽部材６０の移動を規制できる。その結果、遮蔽部材６０によって、タブ側端面１２ｂ上に位置する断面Ｒａの全面を覆った状態を維持できる。 (17) The outer surface of the second rib 63 can contact one end surface of the positive electrode conductive member 41 in the longitudinal direction. Further, the end surface of the shielding portion 61 can contact the side surface of the tab group 36 of the negative electrode in the bent state. Therefore, the movement of the shielding member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14 can be restricted by the positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode tab group 36. As a result, it is possible to maintain a state in which the entire surface of the cross-section Ra located on the tab-side end surface 12b is covered by the shielding member 60.
　（１８）遮蔽部材６０の内面６１ｅは平坦面状である。このため、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスが遮蔽部材６０の内部において圧力開放弁１８に向けて流れやすい。
　（第２の実施形態）
　次に、蓄電装置を二次電池に具体化した第２の実施形態を図７及び図８にしたがって説明する。なお、第２の実施形態は、第１の実施形態の構成と同様の部分についてはその詳細な説明を省略する。 (18) The inner surface 61e of the shielding member 60 is flat. For this reason, the gas generated during the nail penetration test tends to flow toward the pressure release valve 18 inside the shielding member 60.
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment in which the power storage device is embodied as a secondary battery will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, detailed description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment is omitted.
　三次元領域Ｒを以下のように設定した。図７に示すように、電極組立体１２の積層方向にケース１１を見た正面視におけるケース１１の中央を通過し、且つ電極組立体１２のタブ側端面１２ｂに平行な面を仮想面Ｋとする。 3D area R was set as follows. As shown in FIG. 7, a plane passing through the center of the case 11 in a front view when the case 11 is viewed in the stacking direction of the electrode assembly 12 and parallel to the tab side end surface 12b of the electrode assembly 12 is defined as a virtual plane K To do.
　蓋体１４の長手方向に沿う圧力開放弁１８の両端を結ぶ直線を仮想線Ｔとする。この仮想線Ｔを蓋体１４の外面１４ｂから見て仮想面Ｋに反映させた辺（線）を仮想辺（仮想線）Ｇとする。仮想辺Ｇを積層方向における電極組立体１２の寸法全体に亘って反映させて形成される面を底面Ｓ１とする。底面Ｓ１は、仮想辺Ｇを一辺とし、仮想辺Ｇの一端を通過しかつ積層方向に延びる辺を他片とした長方形である。 A straight line connecting both ends of the pressure release valve 18 along the longitudinal direction of the lid 14 is defined as a virtual line T. A side (line) in which the virtual line T is reflected on the virtual surface K when viewed from the outer surface 14 b of the lid body 14 is defined as a virtual side (virtual line) G. A surface formed by reflecting the virtual side G over the entire dimension of the electrode assembly 12 in the stacking direction is defined as a bottom surface S1. The bottom surface S1 is a rectangle having a virtual side G as one side and a side passing through one end of the virtual side G and extending in the stacking direction as the other piece.
　三次元領域Ｒは、底面Ｓ１の外形線と圧力開放弁１８の弁体１９の外形線とを最短距離で繋ぐ面で囲まれる領域である。第２の実施形態の三次元領域Ｒは、底面Ｓ１と、圧力開放弁１８における弁体１９の表面と、底面Ｓ１と弁体１９の表面とを繋ぐ面とで囲まれる領域である。第２の実施形態の三次元領域Ｒは四角錐台状である。三次元領域Ｒは、弁体１９から底面Ｓ１に向かうに従い、蓋体１４の短手方向に沿う寸法が徐々に大きくなる。 The three-dimensional region R is a region surrounded by a surface that connects the outer contour line of the bottom surface S1 and the outer contour line of the valve body 19 of the pressure release valve 18 with the shortest distance. The three-dimensional region R of the second embodiment is a region surrounded by the bottom surface S1, the surface of the valve body 19 in the pressure release valve 18, and the surface connecting the bottom surface S1 and the surface of the valve body 19. The three-dimensional region R of the second embodiment has a quadrangular frustum shape. In the three-dimensional region R, the dimension along the short direction of the lid body 14 gradually increases as it goes from the valve body 19 toward the bottom surface S1.
　図８に示すように、三次元領域Ｒは、タブ側端面１２ｂに沿う断面Ｒａを有する。この断面Ｒａは、蓋体１４の短手方向に沿う寸法が弁体１９よりも大きい。また、三次元領域Ｒの断面Ｒａは、タブ側端面１２ｂに載置された遮蔽部材６０の遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａによって全面が覆われている。 As shown in FIG. 8, the three-dimensional region R has a cross section Ra along the tab side end face 12b. The cross section Ra has a dimension along the short direction of the lid body 14 larger than that of the valve body 19. Further, the entire surface of the cross section Ra of the three-dimensional region R is covered with the outer surface 61a of the shielding portion 61 of the shielding member 60 placed on the tab-side end surface 12b.
　従って、第２の実施形態によれば、第１の実施形態に記載の効果に加えて以下の効果を得ることができる。
　（１９）第２の実施形態では、釘刺し試験時、底面Ｓ１のいずれの場所からガスが発生しても、ガスは三次元領域Ｒを通過して圧力開放弁１８に向かう。遮蔽部材６０は、三次元領域Ｒの断面Ｒａの全面を覆う位置にある。このため、釘刺し試験時、圧力開放弁１８に向かうガスを遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａに衝突させ、ガスの流れる向きを、圧力開放弁１８へ真っ直ぐに向かう排出経路から外し、圧力開放弁１８に向けたガス排出経路を長くすることができる。その結果、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をケース１１内に落下させ、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。 Therefore, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(19) In the second embodiment, during the nail penetration test, even if gas is generated from any location on the bottom surface S1, the gas passes through the three-dimensional region R toward the pressure release valve 18. The shielding member 60 is at a position covering the entire surface of the cross section Ra of the three-dimensional region R. For this reason, during the nail penetration test, the gas directed to the pressure release valve 18 is collided with the outer surface 61a of the shielding portion 61, the direction of gas flow is removed from the discharge path that goes straight to the pressure release valve 18, and the pressure release valve 18 It is possible to lengthen the gas discharge path directed to. As a result, the pieces of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21a and 31a contained in the gas are dropped into the case 11, and the fragments are prevented from scattering out of the case 11 together with the gas, thereby suppressing the generation of sparks. it can.
　なお、上記実施形態は以下のように変更してもよい。
　○　上記第１実施形態において、遮蔽部材６０によって覆うべき領域を以下のように設定してもよい。すなわち、ケース１１の正面視において、２本の対線が交差する位置を正面視におけるケース１１の中央とする。この正面視におけるケース１１の中央を通り、かつ電極２１，３１の積層方向に延びる線を、中心線とする。この中心線上の任意の位置にある移動点と、圧力開放弁１８における弁体１９の外形線とを最短距離で繋ぐ面で囲まれる領域を三次元領域とする。そして、移動点を中心線に沿って電極２１，３１の積層方向における電極組立体１２の寸法全体に亘って移動させたときに三次元領域が移動する領域全体を総三次元領域とする。言い換えれば、総三次元領域は、移動点を中心線に沿って電極２１，３１の積層方向における電極組立体１２の寸法全体に亘って移動させたときに得られる三次元領域の移動軌跡が占める領域全体である。電極組立体１２のタブ側端面１２ｂに沿った総三次元領域の断面は、被覆領域Ｈに存在し、その全体が遮蔽部材６０によって覆われる。 In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the first embodiment, the area to be covered by the shielding member 60 may be set as follows. That is, in the front view of the case 11, the position where the two paired lines intersect is the center of the case 11 in the front view. A line passing through the center of the case 11 in the front view and extending in the stacking direction of the electrodes 21 and 31 is defined as a center line. A region surrounded by a plane connecting the moving point at an arbitrary position on the center line and the outer shape line of the valve body 19 of the pressure release valve 18 is defined as a three-dimensional region. Then, the entire region in which the three-dimensional region moves when the moving point is moved along the center line over the entire dimension of the electrode assembly 12 in the stacking direction of the electrodes 21 and 31 is defined as a total three-dimensional region. In other words, the total three-dimensional area is occupied by the movement locus of the three-dimensional area obtained when the moving point is moved along the center line over the entire dimension of the electrode assembly 12 in the stacking direction of the electrodes 21 and 31. The whole area. A cross section of the total three-dimensional region along the tab-side end surface 12 b of the electrode assembly 12 exists in the covering region H, and is entirely covered by the shielding member 60.
　○　図９に示すように、各実施形態や各形態において、遮蔽部材６０は、第２リブ６３を遮蔽部６１の両方の短縁部に備える形状でもよい。このように構成した場合、負極導電部材５１が位置する側から圧力開放弁１８に向かうガスも第２リブ６３に衝突させ、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をガスから落下させることができる。なお、負極導電部材５１が位置する側にある第２リブ６３について、遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａからの寸法である立設距離Ｈ２は、正極導電部材４１が位置する側にある第２リブ６３の立設距離Ｈ２より小さい（低い）のが好ましい。これは、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗を、負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より大きくする、言い換えると、正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積を、負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積より小さくするためである。 As shown in FIG. 9, in each embodiment and each form, the shielding member 60 may have a shape in which the second rib 63 is provided on both short edges of the shielding part 61. When configured in this manner, the gas from the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located toward the pressure release valve 18 also collides with the second rib 63, and fragments of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21 a and 31 a included in the gas. Can be dropped from the gas. In addition, about the 2nd rib 63 in the side in which the negative electrode electrically-conductive member 51 is located, the standing distance H2 which is a dimension from the outer surface 61a of the shielding part 61 is the 2nd rib 63 in the side in which the positive electrode electrically-conductive member 41 is located. It is preferably smaller (lower) than the standing distance H2. This is because the flow path resistance of the positive side gas discharge path is made larger than the flow path resistance of the negative side gas discharge path, in other words, the cross sectional area of the positive side gas discharge path is changed to the flow path of the negative side gas discharge path. This is to make it smaller than the cross-sectional area.
　○　図１０に示すように、各実施形態や各形態において、圧力開放弁１８の中心位置Ｃ１を、蓋体１４の長手方向において正極電極２１のタブ２５（タブ群２６）と負極電極３１のタブ３５（タブ群３６）との間の中心位置Ｃ２よりも負極導電部材５１寄りに位置させてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 10, in each embodiment and each form, the center position C1 of the pressure release valve 18 is set such that the tab 25 (tab group 26) of the positive electrode 21 and the tab of the negative electrode 31 in the longitudinal direction of the lid 14 It may be positioned closer to the negative electrode conductive member 51 than the center position C2 between the terminal 35 and the tab group 36.
　このように構成した場合、例えば、遮蔽部材６０が第２リブ６３を遮蔽部６１の両方の短縁部に備え、両方の第２リブ６３の立設距離Ｈ２を同じとした場合、正極側ガス排出経路は負極側ガス排出経路より長くなり、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗が負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より大きくなる。 In the case of such a configuration, for example, when the shielding member 60 includes the second rib 63 on both short edges of the shielding part 61 and the standing distance H2 of both the second ribs 63 is the same, the positive electrode side gas The discharge path is longer than the negative electrode side gas discharge path, and the flow path resistance of the positive electrode side gas discharge path is larger than the flow path resistance of the negative electrode side gas discharge path.
　そして、釘刺し試験時、ガスが正極側のタブ２５間を通過して正極導電部材４１に衝突した際、正極電極２１のタブ２５及び正極導電部材４１の少なくとも一方の一部が高温高圧のガスによって溶融したり、削り取られたりして、ガスに含まれる状態となったとする。この場合、ガスは、圧力開放弁１８からケース１１外へ排出される前に蓋体１４に衝突したりする。その結果、タブ２５や正極導電部材４１の破片が圧力開放弁１８からケース１１の外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 In the nail penetration test, when the gas passes between the tabs 25 on the positive electrode side and collides with the positive electrode conductive member 41, at least one part of the tab 25 of the positive electrode 21 and the positive electrode conductive member 41 is a high-temperature high-pressure gas. It is assumed that the gas is melted or scraped off and is contained in the gas. In this case, the gas collides with the lid body 14 before being discharged out of the case 11 from the pressure release valve 18. As a result, it is possible to prevent the fragments of the tab 25 and the positive electrode conductive member 41 from being discharged out of the case 11 from the pressure release valve 18.
　○　正極電極２１のタブ２５（タブ群２６）と負極電極３１のタブ３５（タブ群３６）を、両方の第２リブ６３の立設距離Ｈ２を同じとした二次電池１０において、図１１又は図１２に示すように変更してもよい。 ○ In the secondary battery 10 in which the tab 25 (tab group 26) of the positive electrode 21 and the tab 35 (tab group 36) of the negative electrode 31 are the same in the standing distance H2 of both the second ribs 63, FIG. You may change as shown in FIG.
　蓋体１４の長手方向において、正極側のタブ群２６の側面と、タブ群２６に対向した第２リブ６３の側面との間に隙間Ｓを設けてもよい。同様に、蓋体１４の長手方向において、負極側のタブ群３６の側面と、タブ群３６に対向した第２リブ６３の側面との間に隙間Ｓを設けてもよい。そして、隙間Ｓを該隙間Ｓに対し蓋体１４が位置する側から覆うように、正極導電部材４１の先端部を配置し、正極導電部材４１をガス衝突部材としてもよい。同様に、隙間Ｓを該隙間Ｓに対し蓋体１４が位置する側から覆うように、負極導電部材５１の先端部を配置し、負極導電部材５１をガス衝突部材としてもよい。 In the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14, a gap S may be provided between the side surface of the tab group 26 on the positive electrode side and the side surface of the second rib 63 facing the tab group 26. Similarly, a gap S may be provided between the side surface of the tab group 36 on the negative electrode side and the side surface of the second rib 63 facing the tab group 36 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. And the front-end | tip part of the positive electrode conductive member 41 is arrange | positioned so that the clearance gap S may be covered from the side in which the cover body 14 is located with respect to this clearance gap S, and it is good also considering the positive electrode conductive member 41 as a gas collision member. Similarly, the tip of the negative electrode conductive member 51 may be disposed so as to cover the gap S from the side where the lid body 14 is located with respect to the gap S, and the negative electrode conductive member 51 may be used as the gas collision member.
　このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時、発生したガスは、遮蔽部材６０の第２リブ６３と正極電極２１のタブ２５との間の隙間Ｓを流れるため、正極電極２１のタブ２５間をガスが流れる場合と比べると、タブ２５が溶融しにくい。また、隙間Ｓを流れたガスが正極導電部材４１に衝突するため、この衝突により、タブ２５や正極導電部材４１の破片がガスから落下し、よって、破片が圧力開放弁１８からケース１１の外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 When configured in this way, during the nail penetration test, the generated gas flows through the gap S between the second rib 63 of the shielding member 60 and the tab 25 of the positive electrode 21, and therefore, between the tabs 25 of the positive electrode 21. The tab 25 is less likely to melt compared to when gas flows. Further, since the gas flowing through the gap S collides with the positive electrode conductive member 41, the collision causes the tab 25 and the fragments of the positive electrode conductive member 41 to fall from the gas. Can be prevented from being discharged.
　負極側についても、遮蔽部材６０の第２リブ６３と負極電極３１のタブ３５との間の隙間Ｓを流れるため、負極電極３１のタブ３５間をガスが流れる場合と比べると、タブ３５が溶融しにくい。また、隙間Ｓを流れたガスが負極導電部材５１に衝突するため、この衝突により、タブ３５や負極導電部材５１の破片がガスから落下し、よって、破片が圧力開放弁１８からケース１１の外へ排出されることを抑止できる。 Also on the negative electrode side, since the gap S between the second rib 63 of the shielding member 60 and the tab 35 of the negative electrode 31 flows, the tab 35 melts compared to the case where gas flows between the tabs 35 of the negative electrode 31. Hard to do. Further, since the gas flowing through the gap S collides with the negative electrode conductive member 51, the collision causes the tab 35 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 to fall from the gas. Can be prevented from being discharged.
　なお、図１３に示すように、隙間Ｓを該隙間Ｓに対し蓋体１４が位置する側から覆うガス衝突部材を遮蔽部材６０の第２リブ６３から各タブ２５，３５に向けて突出させた突出部６３ｂで形成してもよいし、図示しないが、導電部材４１，５１の先端部と第２リブ６３の突出部６３ｂの両方としてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 13, the gas collision member that covers the gap S from the side where the lid body 14 is positioned with respect to the gap S is protruded from the second rib 63 of the shielding member 60 toward the tabs 25 and 35. The protrusion 63b may be formed, or although not illustrated, both the tip of the conductive members 41 and 51 and the protrusion 63b of the second rib 63 may be used.
　なお、図１１～図１３に示す形態において、圧力開放弁１８の中心位置Ｃ１を、ケース本体１３の長手方向において正極電極２１のタブ２５（タブ群２６）と負極電極３１のタブ３５（タブ群３６）との間の中心位置Ｃ２よりも正極導電部材４１寄りに位置させてもよい。また、両方の第２リブ６３の立設距離Ｈ２を異ならせてもよい。 11 to 13, the central position C1 of the pressure release valve 18 is set so that the tab 25 (tab group 26) of the positive electrode 21 and the tab 35 (tab group of the negative electrode 31) in the longitudinal direction of the case body 13 are displayed. 36) may be positioned closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 than the center position C2 between the two. Further, the standing distance H2 of both the second ribs 63 may be varied.
　○　遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａと遮蔽部６１とを隔てて
　また、ガス衝突部材は、隙間Ｓの全体を覆う必要はなく、各導電部材４１，５１の先端部や第２リブ６３の突出部６３ｂに極小な貫通孔が空いていてもよい。 The shielding member 60 separates the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 from the shielding portion 61. Further, the gas collision member does not need to cover the entire gap S, and the leading end portions and the second ribs of the conductive members 41 and 51 are not necessary. A very small through hole may be formed in the protruding portion 63 b of 63.
　○　遮蔽部材６０は、第２リブ６３を正極導電部材４１が位置する側ではなく、負極導電部材５１が位置する側の短縁部に備える形状でもよい。
　○　遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａと遮蔽部６１とを隔てて圧力開放弁１８を閉塞しないようにする必要がある。このため、遮蔽部材６０は、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３ではなく、間隔保持部としての間隔保持棒６４を備える構成であってもよい。 The shielding member 60 may have a shape in which the second rib 63 is provided not on the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is positioned but on the short edge portion on the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is positioned.
The shielding member 60 needs not to block the pressure release valve 18 with the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and the shielding portion 61 being separated. For this reason, the shielding member 60 may be configured to include the interval holding rod 64 as the interval holding portion instead of the first rib 62 and the second rib 63.
　図１４に示すように、間隔保持棒６４は、遮蔽部６１の四隅から立設されている。そして、間隔保持棒６４の立設方向の先端面は、蓋体１４の内面１４ａのうち、圧力開放弁１８を囲む四箇所に接触可能である。 As shown in FIG. 14, the interval holding rod 64 is erected from the four corners of the shielding portion 61. And the front end surface of the standing direction of the space | interval holding | maintenance stick | rod 64 can contact the four places surrounding the pressure release valve 18 among the inner surfaces 14a of the cover body 14. FIG.
　このように構成した場合、ガスが圧力開放弁１８に向けて上昇し、ガスが遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａに衝突しても、間隔保持棒６４が蓋体１４の内面１４ａに接触して、遮蔽部６１と内面１４ａとを隔てた状態を維持し、圧力開放弁１８が遮蔽部６１によって閉塞されることを回避する。 When configured in this way, even if the gas rises toward the pressure release valve 18 and the gas collides with the outer surface 61a of the shielding part 61, the interval holding rod 64 comes into contact with the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and shields it. The state which separated the part 61 and the inner surface 14a is maintained, and it is avoided that the pressure release valve 18 is obstruct | occluded by the shielding part 61. FIG.
　また、隣り合う間隔保持棒６４の間に流路が確保され、圧力開放弁１８に向かうガスが遮断されることはない。
　なお、間隔保持棒６４の太さは、図１４に示されるものより太くてもよい。このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスによって間隔保持棒６４が損傷することを抑制でき、遮蔽部６１で圧力開放弁１８を電極組立体１２が位置する側から覆った状態を維持できる。 In addition, a flow path is secured between the adjacent spacing rods 64, and the gas toward the pressure release valve 18 is not blocked.
In addition, the thickness of the space | interval holding | maintenance stick | rod 64 may be thicker than what is shown by FIG. When configured in this way, it is possible to prevent the gap maintaining rod 64 from being damaged by the gas generated during the nail penetration test, and maintain the state where the pressure relief valve 18 is covered from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located by the shielding portion 61. it can.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３の厚みを厚くして剛性を高めてもよい。このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスによって第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３が損傷を受けることを抑制できる。その結果として、第１リブ６２により、遮蔽部６１で圧力開放弁１８を電極組立体１２が位置する側から覆った状態を維持でき、また、第２リブ６３により、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗を負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より大きくすることができるとともに、正極側ガス排出経路より流路断面積が大きい負極側ガス排出経路を確保できる。 In each embodiment and each form, the thickness of the first rib 62 and the second rib 63 may be increased to increase the rigidity. When comprised in this way, it can suppress that the 1st rib 62 and the 2nd rib 63 are damaged with the gas generate | occur | produced at the time of a nail penetration test. As a result, the first rib 62 can maintain the state where the pressure relief valve 18 is covered with the shielding portion 61 from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located, and the second rib 63 allows the flow of the positive gas discharge path to flow. The path resistance can be made larger than the flow path resistance of the negative electrode side gas discharge path, and a negative electrode side gas discharge path having a larger flow path cross-sectional area than the positive electrode side gas discharge path can be secured.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、遮蔽部６１の厚みを厚くして遮蔽部６１の剛性を高めてもよい。このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスによって遮蔽部６１が損傷することを抑制でき、遮蔽部６１で圧力開放弁１８を電極組立体１２が位置する側から覆った状態を維持できる。 In each embodiment and each form, the thickness of the shielding part 61 may be increased to increase the rigidity of the shielding part 61. When comprised in this way, it can suppress that the shielding part 61 is damaged with the gas generate | occur | produced at the time of a nail penetration test, and can maintain the state which covered the pressure release valve 18 from the side in which the electrode assembly 12 is located by the shielding part 61. .
　○　図１５に示すように、各実施形態や各形態において、遮蔽部材６０は、遮蔽部６１の両方の短側縁から、遮蔽部６１の長手方向に沿って突出した邪魔板６５を備える形状でもよい。邪魔板６５は平板状である。 As shown in FIG. 15, in each embodiment and each form, the shielding member 60 may have a shape including a baffle plate 65 protruding from both short side edges of the shielding portion 61 along the longitudinal direction of the shielding portion 61. Good. The baffle plate 65 has a flat plate shape.
　図１６又は図１７に示すように、各邪魔板６５は、蓋体１４の外面１４ｂから見て各タブ２５，３５と重なり、かつ蓋体１４の長手方向に沿って各タブ２５，３５を該タブ２５，３５に対し電極組立体１２が位置する側から覆う。 As shown in FIG. 16 or FIG. 17, each baffle plate 65 overlaps with each tab 25, 35 when viewed from the outer surface 14 b of the lid body 14, and each tab 25, 35 extends along the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. The tabs 25 and 35 are covered from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located.
　このように構成した場合、各タブ群２６，３６において、矢印Ｙに示すように、積層方向に隣り合うタブ２５，３５同士の間からガスが排出されたとき、そのガスを邪魔板６５に衝突させ、ガスの流れる向きを、圧力開放弁１８へ真っ直ぐに向かう排出経路から外し、圧力開放弁１８に向けたガス排出経路を長くすることができる。その結果、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をケース１１内に落下させ、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。 When configured in this way, as shown by the arrow Y in each tab group 26, 36, when gas is discharged from between the tabs 25, 35 adjacent in the stacking direction, the gas collides with the baffle plate 65. Thus, the direction of gas flow can be removed from the discharge path that goes straight to the pressure release valve 18, and the gas discharge path toward the pressure release valve 18 can be lengthened. As a result, the pieces of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21a and 31a contained in the gas are dropped into the case 11, and the fragments are prevented from scattering out of the case 11 together with the gas, thereby suppressing the generation of sparks. it can.
　○　図１８又は図１９に示すように、遮蔽部材６０は、第２リブ６３を遮蔽部６１の両方の短縁部に備える場合、遮蔽部材６０は、負極導電部材５１が位置する側にある第２リブ６３を板厚方向に貫通する複数のガス通し孔６３ａを備える形状であってもよい。このように構成した場合、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片が第２リブ６３に衝突し、ガスから落下させることができる。その一方でガスは、ガス通し孔６３ａを通過させて圧力開放弁１８からケース１１外に放出できる。ガス通し孔６３ａは、火花の原因となる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片を篩い落とす機能を発揮する。その結果、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。なお、ガス通し孔６３ａの孔径は、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの大きさに合わせて適宜変更するのが好ましい。また、負極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗が、正極側ガス排出経路の流路抵抗より小さい状態、言い換えると、負極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積が、正極側ガス排出経路の流路断面積が大きい状態を維持できるように、ガス通し孔６３ａの孔径を設定するのが好ましい。また、正極導電部材４１が位置する側にある第２リブ６３にガス通し孔６３ａを設け、遮蔽部材６０は、両方の第２リブ６３にガス通し孔６３ａを備えていてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 18 or FIG. 19, when the shielding member 60 includes the second rib 63 on both short edges of the shielding part 61, the shielding member 60 is located on the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located. The shape provided with the several gas through-hole 63a which penetrates 2 rib 63 in a plate | board thickness direction may be sufficient. When comprised in this way, the fragments of each electrode 21 and 31 and each metal foil 21a and 31a which are contained in gas can collide with the 2nd rib 63, and can be dropped from gas. On the other hand, the gas can be discharged out of the case 11 from the pressure release valve 18 through the gas passage hole 63a. The gas passage hole 63a exhibits a function of sieving pieces of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21a and 31a that cause sparks. As a result, the generation of sparks can be suppressed by preventing the fragments from scattering together with the gas from the case 11. In addition, it is preferable to change suitably the hole diameter of the gas through-hole 63a according to the magnitude | size of each electrode 21 and 31 and each metal foil 21a and 31a which are contained in gas. In addition, the flow resistance of the negative gas discharge path is smaller than the flow resistance of the positive gas discharge path, in other words, the cross sectional area of the negative gas discharge path is It is preferable to set the hole diameter of the gas passage hole 63a so as to maintain a large area. Further, the gas passage hole 63 a may be provided in the second rib 63 on the side where the positive electrode conductive member 41 is located, and the shielding member 60 may be provided with the gas passage hole 63 a in both the second ribs 63.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、図２０（ａ）に示すように、遮蔽部材６０は、遮蔽部６１と第１リブ６２に繋がる補強リブ７４を、遮蔽部６１の短手方向に延びる形状に備えていてもよい。 In each embodiment and each form, as shown in FIG. 20A, the shielding member 60 has a reinforcing rib 74 connected to the shielding portion 61 and the first rib 62 in a shape extending in the short direction of the shielding portion 61.

　又は、図２０（ｂ）に示すように、遮蔽部材６０は、遮蔽部６１と第２リブ６３に繋がる補強リブ７５を、遮蔽部６１の短手方向に延びる形状に備えていてもよい。
　このように構成した場合、補強リブ７４，７５により遮蔽部材６０を補強でき、ガスの衝突によって遮蔽部材６０が変形することを抑制できる。 Or as shown in FIG.20 (b), the shielding member 60 may be provided with the reinforcement rib 75 connected to the shielding part 61 and the 2nd rib 63 in the shape extended in the transversal direction of the shielding part 61. As shown in FIG.
When comprised in this way, the shielding member 60 can be reinforced with the reinforcement ribs 74 and 75, and it can suppress that the shielding member 60 deform | transforms by the collision of gas.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、図２１に示すように、負極導電部材５１は、タブ群３６よりも正極導電部材４１寄りに位置する重合部５１ａを備えていてもよい。重合部５１ａは、蓋体１４の外面１４ｂから見て蓋体１４及び遮蔽部６１と重なる部位である。負極導電部材５１の長手方向の端面である重合部５１ａの先端面は、蓋体１４を外面１４ｂから見た場合に、圧力開放弁１８の縁と重なる位置にあり、重合部５１ａは圧力開放弁１８を蓋体１４に対し電極組立体１２が位置する側から覆っていない。なお、重合部５１ａは、正極導電部材４１に設けてもよい。 In each embodiment and each form, as shown in FIG. 21, the negative electrode conductive member 51 may include a superposed portion 51 a located closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 than the tab group 36. The overlapping portion 51 a is a portion that overlaps the lid body 14 and the shielding portion 61 when viewed from the outer surface 14 b of the lid body 14. The front end surface of the overlapping portion 51a, which is the end surface in the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode conductive member 51, is positioned so as to overlap with the edge of the pressure release valve 18 when the lid body 14 is viewed from the outer surface 14b. 18 is not covered with respect to the cover body 14 from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located. The overlapping portion 51a may be provided on the positive electrode conductive member 41.
　このように構成した場合、遮蔽部６１への衝突により向きを変え、負極導電部材５１が位置する側に流れたガスは、重合部５１ａと遮蔽部６１との対向面の間を通過し、圧力開放弁１８に向かう。その結果、重合部５１ａにより、高温のガスを蓋体１４に接触させにくくすることができる。特に、負極導電部材５１は銅製であり、耐熱性が高いため、ガスによって重合部５１ａが融けることなく、重合部５１ａにより蓋体１４が溶融することも抑制できる。 When configured in this way, the gas that has changed its direction due to the collision with the shielding part 61 and has flowed to the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located passes between the opposing surfaces of the overlapping part 51a and the shielding part 61, and the pressure Go to the release valve 18. As a result, the superposition part 51a can make it difficult to make hot gas contact the cover body 14. FIG. Particularly, since the negative electrode conductive member 51 is made of copper and has high heat resistance, it is possible to prevent the lid 14 from being melted by the polymerized portion 51a without melting the polymerized portion 51a by the gas.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、図２２に示すように、負極導電部材５１は、タブ群３６よりも正極導電部材４１寄りに位置する重合部５１ａを備えていてもよい。そして、重合部５１ａの先端が圧力開放弁１８に近付くように、負極導電部材５１は蓋体１４に向けて屈曲させた屈曲部５１ｂを備えていてもよい。屈曲部５１ｂは、タブ群３６と負極導電部材５１との溶接部よりも正極導電部材４１寄りの位置であれば、いずれの位置にあってもよい。また、重合部５１ａは圧力開放弁１８を電極組立体１２が位置する側から覆っていない。なお、重合部５１ａ及び屈曲部５１ｂを正極導電部材４１に設けてもよい。 In each embodiment and each form, as shown in FIG. 22, the negative electrode conductive member 51 may include a superposed portion 51 a located closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 than the tab group 36. The negative electrode conductive member 51 may include a bent portion 51 b bent toward the lid body 14 so that the tip of the overlapping portion 51 a approaches the pressure release valve 18. The bent portion 51 b may be in any position as long as it is closer to the positive electrode conductive member 41 than the welded portion between the tab group 36 and the negative electrode conductive member 51. The overlapping portion 51a does not cover the pressure release valve 18 from the side where the electrode assembly 12 is located. Note that the overlapping portion 51 a and the bent portion 51 b may be provided in the positive electrode conductive member 41.
　このように構成した場合、遮蔽部６１への衝突により向きを変え、負極導電部材５１が位置する側に流れたガスは、重合部５１ａと遮蔽部６１との対向面の間を通過し、かつ重合部５１ａの面に沿って圧力開放弁１８に向かう。重合部５１ａの先端面が圧力開放弁１８の縁に向くように配置されているため、重合部５１ａに沿って流れるガスを圧力開放弁１８に向けて流すことができる。その結果、蓋体１４における圧力開放弁１８の周囲にガスが衝突することを抑制でき、蓋体１４における圧力開放弁１８の周囲が溶融することを抑制できる。 When configured in this manner, the gas that has changed its direction due to the collision with the shielding part 61 and has flowed to the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located passes between the facing surfaces of the overlapping part 51a and the shielding part 61, and It goes to the pressure release valve 18 along the surface of the overlapping portion 51a. Since the front end surface of the overlapping portion 51a is disposed so as to face the edge of the pressure release valve 18, the gas flowing along the overlapping portion 51a can flow toward the pressure release valve 18. As a result, it is possible to suppress the gas from colliding with the periphery of the pressure release valve 18 in the lid body 14 and to suppress the periphery of the pressure release valve 18 in the lid body 14 from melting.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、遮蔽部材６０の一対の第１リブ６２は、遮蔽部６１の各長縁部から立設されていなくてもよい。例えば、図２３に示すように、遮蔽部６１において、その短手方向に沿って互いに近付いた位置から各第１リブ６２が立設されていてもよい。そして、蓋体１４の外面１４ｂから見て、各第１リブ６２は、蓋体１４の長手方向に沿って並設された正極導電部材４１と負極導電部材５１の間に位置していてもよい。 ○ In each embodiment and each form, the pair of first ribs 62 of the shielding member 60 may not be erected from each long edge portion of the shielding portion 61. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, in the shielding part 61, each 1st rib 62 may be erected from the position which mutually approached along the transversal direction. Then, when viewed from the outer surface 14 b of the lid body 14, each first rib 62 may be located between the positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. .
　このように構成した場合、正極導電部材４１の長手方向の一端面となる先端面には、両方の第１リブ６２の長手方向の一端面が接触可能である。負極導電部材５１の長手方向の一端面となる先端面には、両方の第１リブ６２の長手方向の他端面が接触可能である。遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の長手方向に僅かに移動すると、正極導電部材４１又は負極導電部材５１の先端面に速やかに接触する。このため、遮蔽部材６０は、蓋体１４の長手方向への移動が規制されている。したがって、正極導電部材４１及び負極導電部材５１は、蓋体１４の長手方向への遮蔽部材６０の移動を規制する移動規制部材である。 When configured in this way, the longitudinal end surfaces of both first ribs 62 can come into contact with the distal end surface, which is the longitudinal end surface of the positive electrode conductive member 41. The other end surface in the longitudinal direction of both the first ribs 62 can contact the distal end surface which is one end surface in the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode conductive member 51. When the shielding member 60 moves slightly in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14, it quickly comes into contact with the tip surface of the positive electrode conductive member 41 or the negative electrode conductive member 51. For this reason, as for the shielding member 60, the movement to the longitudinal direction of the cover body 14 is controlled. Therefore, the positive electrode conductive member 41 and the negative electrode conductive member 51 are movement regulating members that regulate the movement of the shielding member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、蓋体１４の長手方向への遮蔽部材６０の移動を規制するため、第２リブ６３を正極側のタブ群２６の側面に接触させ、第１リブ６２を負極側のタブ群３６の側面に接触させてもよい。 In each embodiment and each form, in order to restrict the movement of the shielding member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14, the second rib 63 is brought into contact with the side surface of the tab group 26 on the positive electrode side, and the first rib 62 is connected to the negative electrode You may make it contact the side surface of the tab group 36 of the side.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、蓋体１４の長手方向への遮蔽部材６０の移動を規制するため、第２リブ６３を正極側のタブ群２６の側面に接触させ、第１リブ６２を負極導電部材５１の端面に接触させてもよい。 In each embodiment and each form, in order to restrict the movement of the shielding member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14, the second rib 63 is brought into contact with the side surface of the tab group 26 on the positive electrode side, and the first rib 62 is connected to the negative electrode You may make it contact the end surface of the electrically-conductive member 51. FIG.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、図２４又は図２５に示すように、蓋体１４を外面１４ｂから見て、圧力開放弁１８は負極導電部材５１に重なる位置に配置され、遮蔽部材６０は負極導電部材５１に載置されていてもよい。 In each embodiment or each form, as shown in FIG. 24 or 25, the pressure release valve 18 is disposed at a position overlapping the negative electrode conductive member 51 when the lid 14 is viewed from the outer surface 14b, and the shielding member 60 is a negative electrode It may be placed on the conductive member 51.
　この場合、遮蔽部材６０は、釘刺し試験における短絡部に存在する中心点Ｐと圧力開放弁１８を繋ぐ三次元領域Ｒのうち、タブ側端面１２ｂ上に位置する断面Ｒａの全面を覆っていてもよいし、覆っていなくてもよい。要は、遮蔽部材６０は、ガス経路に対し、交差する面を有するリブを備えていればよい。そして、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３は、遮蔽部６１から蓋体１４に向けて立ち上がり、かつ遮蔽部６１の内面６１ｅに沿うガス経路に対し交差する外面を有する。 In this case, the shielding member 60 covers the entire surface of the cross-section Ra located on the tab-side end surface 12b in the three-dimensional region R that connects the center point P existing in the short-circuit portion and the pressure release valve 18 in the nail penetration test. It does not have to be covered. In short, the shielding member 60 should just be provided with the rib which has a surface which cross | intersects with respect to a gas path | route. The first rib 62 and the second rib 63 have outer surfaces that rise from the shielding portion 61 toward the lid body 14 and intersect the gas path along the inner surface 61e of the shielding portion 61.
　このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスは、負極導電部材５１又は正極導電部材４１よりも蓋体１４寄りの箇所へ流れた後、遮蔽部６１の内面６１ｅに沿うガス経路に沿って流れる。また、その他のガスは、第１リブ６２や第２リブ６３に衝突し、それら第１及び第２リブ６２，６３に沿って上昇し、各リブ６２，６３の先端面と蓋体１４の内面１４ａとの隙間を通って、圧力開放弁１８に至る。 When configured in this manner, the gas generated during the nail penetration test flows along the gas path along the inner surface 61e of the shielding portion 61 after flowing to the location closer to the lid body 14 than the negative electrode conductive member 51 or the positive electrode conductive member 41. Flowing. Further, the other gas collides with the first rib 62 and the second rib 63 and rises along the first and second ribs 62, 63, and the leading end surface of each rib 62, 63 and the inner surface of the lid body 14. The pressure relief valve 18 is reached through the gap with 14a.
　よって、第１リブ６２及び第２リブ６３に対するガスの衝突により、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をケース１１内に落下させ、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。なお、図示しないが、蓋体１４を外面１４ｂから見て、圧力開放弁１８は正極導電部材４１に重なる位置に配置され、正極導電部材４１に載置されていてもよい。 Therefore, due to the collision of the gas with the first rib 62 and the second rib 63, the pieces of the electrodes 21, 31 and the metal foils 21a, 31a included in the gas are dropped into the case 11, and the pieces are separated from the case 11 together with the gas. Can prevent the occurrence of sparks. Although not shown, the pressure release valve 18 may be disposed at a position overlapping the positive electrode conductive member 41 and placed on the positive electrode conductive member 41 when the lid 14 is viewed from the outer surface 14 b.
　○　図２６（ａ）に示すように、遮蔽部材６６を四角筒状とし、遮蔽部材６６の中心軸線Ｍが蓋体１４の長手方向に延びる状態に、遮蔽部材６６をタブ側端面１２ｂに載置する。遮蔽部材６６は、電極組立体１２のタブ側端面１２ｂに支持される底部に遮蔽部６７を備える。遮蔽部材６６は、軸方向の一端側（負極導電部材５１が位置する側）にガス流入口６６ａを備える。また、遮蔽部材６６は、蓋体１４と対向する天板６８において、軸方向他端側で圧力開放弁１８に開口したガス流出口６６ｂを備える。加えて、遮蔽部材６６は、内部に経路変更壁６６ｃを備える。経路変更壁６６ｃは、天板６８の内面から遮蔽部６７に向けて突出した板状であり、経路変更壁６６ｃの突出端と、遮蔽部６７との間には隙間がある。なお、経路変更壁６６ｃは、蓋体１４の短手方向に長手が延びる形状である。 ○ As shown in FIG. 26 (a), the shielding member 66 has a rectangular tube shape, and the shielding member 66 is placed on the tab-side end surface 12b so that the central axis M of the shielding member 66 extends in the longitudinal direction of the lid body 14. To do. The shielding member 66 includes a shielding part 67 at the bottom part supported by the tab side end face 12 b of the electrode assembly 12. The shielding member 66 includes a gas inlet 66a on one end side in the axial direction (side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located). Further, the shielding member 66 includes a gas outlet 66 b that opens to the pressure release valve 18 on the other end side in the axial direction on the top plate 68 facing the lid body 14. In addition, the shielding member 66 includes a path changing wall 66c inside. The path changing wall 66 c is a plate that protrudes from the inner surface of the top plate 68 toward the shielding part 67, and there is a gap between the protruding end of the path changing wall 66 c and the shielding part 67. The path changing wall 66c has a shape that extends in the short direction of the lid body 14.
　このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時に発生したガスは、矢印Ｙに示すように、遮蔽部６７への衝突により向きを変え、負極導電部材５１が位置する側に流れた後、ガス流入口６６ａから遮蔽部材６６内に流れ込む。ガスは、圧力開放弁１８に開口するガス流出口６６ｂに向けて流れるが、遮蔽部材６６の天板６８に衝突した後、経路変更壁６６ｃによって遮蔽部６７に向かうようにガス経路が変更される。その後、ガスは、経路変更壁６６ｃと遮蔽部６７との間を流れてガス流出口６６ｂから遮蔽部材６６外へ流出する。そして、圧力開放弁１８からケース１１外へ放出される。 In such a configuration, the gas generated during the nail penetration test is changed in direction by the collision with the shielding portion 67 and flows to the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located, as indicated by an arrow Y, and then the gas inlet. It flows into the shielding member 66 from 66a. The gas flows toward the gas outlet 66b opened to the pressure release valve 18, but after colliding with the top plate 68 of the shielding member 66, the gas path is changed by the path changing wall 66c toward the shielding part 67. . Thereafter, the gas flows between the path changing wall 66c and the shielding part 67 and flows out of the shielding member 66 from the gas outlet 66b. Then, the pressure is released from the pressure release valve 18 to the outside of the case 11.
　したがって、経路変更壁６６ｃを設けたことにより、遮蔽部材６６内では、ガスは天板６８と遮蔽部６７に衝突する。その結果、遮蔽部６７や天板６８に対するガスの衝突により、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をケース１１内に落下させ、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。また、遮蔽部６７や天板６８に対するガスの衝突により、ガスの勢いを落として、破片をガスから落下させることができる。 Therefore, by providing the path changing wall 66 c, the gas collides with the top plate 68 and the shielding part 67 in the shielding member 66. As a result, due to the collision of the gas with respect to the shielding part 67 and the top plate 68, the pieces of the electrodes 21, 31 and the metal foils 21a, 31a included in the gas are dropped into the case 11, and the pieces are removed from the case 11 together with the gas. Suppresses scattering and can prevent the occurrence of sparks. Further, the gas collision with the shielding part 67 and the top plate 68 can reduce the momentum of the gas and allow the debris to fall from the gas.
　なお、図２６（ｂ）に示すように、経路変更壁６６ｃは天板６８ではなく、遮蔽部６７の内面から立設され、経路変更壁６６ｃの突出端と天板６８との間、経路変更壁６６ｃと両側の第１リブ６２との間に隙間がある。このように構成した場合、ガス流入口６６ａから遮蔽部材６６内に流入したガスを、天板６８と遮蔽部６７に加え、遮蔽部６７と天板６８を繋ぐ第１リブ６２にも衝突させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 26B, the path changing wall 66c is erected from the inner surface of the shielding portion 67, not the top board 68, and the path changing between the protruding end of the path changing wall 66c and the top board 68 is performed. There is a gap between the wall 66c and the first ribs 62 on both sides. In such a configuration, the gas flowing into the shielding member 66 from the gas inlet 66 a is caused to collide with the first rib 62 connecting the shielding part 67 and the top plate 68 in addition to the top board 68 and the shielding part 67. Can do.
　○　図２７に示すように、各実施形態や各形態において、蓋体１４をプレス加工して蓋体１４に一体の遮蔽部材６９を設け、この遮蔽部材６９を蓋体１４の内面１４ａと、電極組立体１２のタブ側端面１２ｂとの間で、正極電極２１と負極電極３１を短絡させない状態に配置してもよい。なお、遮蔽部材６９によって正極電極２１と負極電極３１を短絡させないために、遮蔽部材６９の表面を絶縁性樹脂やセラミックからなるコーティングで覆う。 As shown in FIG. 27, in each embodiment and each form, the lid body 14 is pressed to provide an integral shielding member 69 on the lid body 14, and the shielding member 69 is connected to the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and the electrode. You may arrange | position in the state which does not short-circuit the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 31 between the tab side end surfaces 12b of the assembly 12. FIG. In order to prevent the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 31 from being short-circuited by the shielding member 69, the surface of the shielding member 69 is covered with a coating made of an insulating resin or ceramic.
　また、蓋体１４に遮蔽部材６９を形成することで蓋体１４に開いた孔をシート状の弁体７７で覆い、弁体７７によって圧力開放弁７８を設けてもよい。圧力開放弁７８の開放圧は、ケース１１自体やケース本体１３と蓋体１４との接合部に亀裂や破断などが生じ得る前に開裂し得る圧力に設定されている。 Further, a hole opened in the lid body 14 may be covered with a sheet-like valve body 77 by forming a shielding member 69 on the lid body 14, and the pressure release valve 78 may be provided by the valve body 77. The release pressure of the pressure release valve 78 is set to a pressure at which the case 11 itself or the joint portion between the case body 13 and the lid body 14 can be broken before a crack or break can occur.
　このように構成した場合、遮蔽部材６９の遮蔽部６９ａは、短絡部に存在する中心点Ｐと圧力開放弁７８を繋ぐ三次元領域Ｒのうち、タブ側端面１２ｂ上に位置する断面Ｒａの全面を覆っている。このため、釘刺し試験時、圧力開放弁７８に向かうガスを遮蔽部６９ａの外面に衝突させ、ガスの流れる向きを、圧力開放弁７８へ真っ直ぐに向かう経路から外し、圧力開放弁７８に向けたガス排出経路を長くすることができる。その結果、ガスに含まれる各電極２１，３１や各金属箔２１ａ，３１ａの破片をケース１１内に落下させ、破片がガスと共にケース１１外に飛散することを抑止して、火花の発生を抑止できる。 When configured in this way, the shielding part 69a of the shielding member 69 is the entire surface of the cross-section Ra located on the tab-side end surface 12b in the three-dimensional region R connecting the center point P existing in the short-circuit part and the pressure release valve 78. Covering. For this reason, during the nail penetration test, the gas directed to the pressure release valve 78 is collided with the outer surface of the shielding portion 69 a, the direction of gas flow is removed from the path that goes straight to the pressure release valve 78, and the gas release direction is directed to the pressure release valve 78. The gas discharge path can be lengthened. As a result, the pieces of the electrodes 21 and 31 and the metal foils 21a and 31a contained in the gas are dropped into the case 11, and the fragments are prevented from scattering out of the case 11 together with the gas, thereby suppressing the generation of sparks. it can.
　○　図２８に示すように、各実施形態や各形態において、遮蔽部６１は、周縁部から中央部に向かうに従い、タブ側端面１２ｂに向かって緩やかに膨出するラウンド形状であってもよい。この場合、第１リブ６２が蓋体１４の内面１４ａに当接することで、遮蔽部材６０が蓋体１４の内面１４ａと、電極組立体１２のタブ側端面１２ｂとの間での変動が規制される。また、ラウンド形状は、図２４に示す形状に限らず、遮蔽部６１の周縁部から中央部に向かう全体に亘ってタブ側端面１２ｂに向かって膨出する形状であってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 28, in each embodiment and each form, the shielding part 61 may have a round shape that gently bulges toward the tab side end face 12b from the peripheral part toward the center part. In this case, the first rib 62 abuts against the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14, so that the fluctuation of the shielding member 60 between the inner surface 14a of the lid body 14 and the tab side end surface 12b of the electrode assembly 12 is restricted. The Further, the round shape is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 24, and may be a shape that bulges toward the tab side end surface 12 b over the entire area from the peripheral edge portion to the central portion of the shielding portion 61.
　このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時、圧力開放弁１８に向かうガスは、遮蔽部６１の外面６１ａに衝突するが、遮蔽部６１がラウンド形状であることから、遮蔽部６１がガスによって変形することを抑制できる。 In such a configuration, during the nail penetration test, the gas directed to the pressure release valve 18 collides with the outer surface 61a of the shielding part 61. However, since the shielding part 61 has a round shape, the shielding part 61 is deformed by the gas. Can be suppressed.
　○　各実施形態や各形態において、図２９に示すように、二次電池１０は、ケース本体１３の長側壁１３ｄにケース用リブ７３を備えていてもよい。ケース用リブ７３は、長側壁１３ｄの長手方向に長手が延びる矩形板状であり、長側壁１３ｄの短手方向に複数ある。また、蓋体１４を外面１４ｂから見た場合、ケース用リブ７３は、遮蔽部材６０の第１リブ６２に沿って配置されている。 In each embodiment and each form, as shown in FIG. 29, the secondary battery 10 may include a case rib 73 on the long side wall 13 d of the case body 13. The case ribs 73 have a rectangular plate shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the long side wall 13d, and there are a plurality of case ribs 73 in the short side direction of the long side wall 13d. Further, when the lid body 14 is viewed from the outer surface 14 b, the case rib 73 is disposed along the first rib 62 of the shielding member 60.
　このように構成した場合、釘刺し試験時、温度上昇によって電極組立体１２は積層方向に膨張し、電極組立体１２の膨張によってケース１１が積層方向に広がるように変形しようとする。しかし、ケース用リブ７３によって、ケース１１の積層方向への変形を抑止することができる。その結果、遮蔽部材６０の第１リブ６２の外面と、長側壁１３ｄの内面との間の隙間が広がりにくく、ガスが通過しにくくなる。 In such a configuration, during the nail penetration test, the electrode assembly 12 expands in the stacking direction due to the temperature rise, and the case 11 tends to be deformed so as to expand in the stacking direction due to the expansion of the electrode assembly 12. However, the case rib 73 can suppress deformation of the case 11 in the stacking direction. As a result, the gap between the outer surface of the first rib 62 of the shielding member 60 and the inner surface of the long side wall 13d is difficult to spread, and the gas does not easily pass.
　○　各実施形態において、図３０に示すように、圧力開放弁１８を実施形態よりも負極導電部材５１寄りに配置してもよい。このように構成した場合、遮蔽部６１への衝突により向きを変え、負極導電部材５１が位置する側に流れたガスは、遮蔽部６１の端縁で屈曲して圧力開放弁１８に向かう。このとき、圧力開放弁１８が負極導電部材５１寄りにあることから、遮蔽部６１から圧力開放弁１８に向かって屈曲したガスが、蓋体１４に衝突しにくくなり、ガスの熱によって蓋体１４が溶融することを抑制できる。 In each embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30, the pressure release valve 18 may be disposed closer to the negative electrode conductive member 51 than in the embodiment. When configured in this manner, the gas that has changed its direction due to a collision with the shielding part 61 and has flowed to the side where the negative electrode conductive member 51 is located bends at the edge of the shielding part 61 and travels toward the pressure release valve 18. At this time, since the pressure release valve 18 is closer to the negative electrode conductive member 51, the gas bent from the shielding portion 61 toward the pressure release valve 18 is less likely to collide with the lid body 14, and the lid body 14 is heated by the heat of the gas. Can be prevented from melting.
　○　図３１に示すように、二次電池８０は、円筒型であってもよい。二次電池８０は、中空円柱状のケース８１の内部に、帯状の正極電極８２と帯状の負極電極８３とがセパレータ８４を介して積層し巻回された巻回型の電極組立体８５を有する。ケース８１は、金属製であり、軸方向一端部が閉鎖され他端部が開放された形状である。ケース８１の内部には電解液が注入され、セパレータ８４に含浸されている。また、二次電池８０は、電極組立体８５の軸方向両端に絶縁板８６を備える。 ○ As shown in FIG. 31, the secondary battery 80 may be cylindrical.
