Description

電源装置Power supply
 本発明は、電池の熱をポッティング樹脂で放熱する電源装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a power supply device that radiates heat of a battery by potting resin.
 電源装置は、内蔵電池の熱エネルギーを外部に放熱する必要がある。電池の温度上昇が安全性を低下させる原因となり、さらに電池に悪影響を与えて劣化させる原因となるからである。電池の表面にポッティング樹脂を密着させ、熱エネルギーをポッティング樹脂を介して放熱する電源装置は開発されている。(特許文献1参照) The power supply device needs to dissipate heat energy of the built-in battery to the outside. It is because the temperature rise of the battery causes the safety to be lowered, and further causes the battery to be adversely affected and deteriorated. A power supply device has been developed which brings potting resin into close contact with the surface of a battery and dissipates heat energy through the potting resin. (See Patent Document 1)

 特許文献1の電源装置は、電池の端面をポッティング樹脂に埋設し、電池の熱エネルギーをポッティング樹脂に伝導して放熱している。この構造の電源装置は、電池の端面をポッティング樹脂に埋設するので、ポッティング樹脂が排出弁の排出口を閉塞して、速やかに排出させるのを阻害する弊害がある。電池は、外装缶の内圧が設定圧力よりも高くなると排出弁を開いて外装缶が破壊されるのを防止している。開弁する排出弁は、排出口からスムーズに噴出ガスを外部に排出して内圧上昇を阻止するので、噴出ガスがスムーズに排出できない構造は、内圧上昇の速やかな低下を実現できないからである。 In the power supply device of Patent Document 1, the end face of the battery is embedded in the potting resin, and the heat energy of the battery is conducted to the potting resin and dissipated. Since the power supply device of this structure embeds the end face of the battery in the potting resin, the potting resin obstructs the discharge port of the discharge valve and has an adverse effect of preventing the quick discharge. The battery opens the discharge valve when the internal pressure of the outer can becomes higher than the set pressure, thereby preventing the outer can from being destroyed. The opening discharge valve smoothly discharges the jetted gas from the discharge port to the outside to prevent the rise in internal pressure. Therefore, the structure in which the jetted gas can not be smoothly discharged can not realize a rapid decrease in the rise in internal pressure.
 本発明は、以上の弊害を防止することを目的に開発されたもので、本発明の目的の一は、電池にポッティング樹脂を密着させ熱エネルギーを効率よく放熱できる構造としながら、排出弁の噴出ガスをスムーズに排出して高い安全性を実現できる電源装置を提供することにある。
 また、本発明の他の目的は、ポッティング樹脂を電池の放熱に理想的な位置に充填しながら、ポッティング樹脂の充填を簡単かつ能率よくして、放熱特性と安全性を確保できる電源装置を提供することにある。
The present invention has been developed for the purpose of preventing the above-mentioned adverse effects. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a structure in which a potting resin is brought into close contact with a battery to efficiently dissipate heat energy. It is an object of the present invention to provide a power supply device capable of achieving high safety by discharging gas smoothly.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a power supply device capable of ensuring heat radiation characteristics and safety by filling potting resin easily and efficiently while filling potting resin at a position ideal for heat radiation of a battery. It is to do.
課題を解決するための手段及び発明の効果Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention
 本発明の第1の側面に係る電源装置は、設定圧力で開弁する排出弁の開口部を端面に配置してなる複数の電池セルが平行姿勢であって両端を同一平面に配置してなる電池ユニットが、絶縁スペースを介して前記電池セルの端面を対向して配置して、前記絶縁スペースに排出弁の排出口を配置してなる電池集合体と、前記電池集合体に密着してなるポッティング樹脂と、前記絶縁スペース内に配置されて、前記排出弁の開口部を覆う閉塞カバーとを備えている。前記閉塞カバーは、前記電池セルの排出弁から排出される噴出ガスで溶融する独立気泡を有する絶縁材の発泡体で、前記閉塞カバーが、前記ポッティング樹脂の前記排出弁の開口部への流入を阻止し、かつ前記排出弁からの噴出ガスで溶融して噴出ガスを通過させるようにしている。 In the power supply device according to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of battery cells formed by arranging the opening of the discharge valve which opens at the set pressure on the end face are in parallel posture and both ends are arranged in the same plane A battery unit is disposed so as to face the end face of the battery cell via an insulating space, and is disposed in close contact with the battery assembly and a battery assembly in which a discharge port of a discharge valve is disposed in the insulating space.

The closing cover is a foam of an insulating material having an independent bubble which is melted by the gas discharged from the discharge valve of the battery cell, and the closing cover flows the potting resin into the opening of the discharge valve. It blocks, and it is made to be able to be melted by the gas jetted from the discharge valve, and let the gas jet out.
 以上の電源装置は、電池セルとポッティング樹脂を密着させ、電池セルの熱エネルギーを効率よく放熱しながら、排出弁の噴出ガスをスムーズに排出して高い安全性を実現できる特徴がある。以上の電源装置が電池セルの熱を効率よく放熱できるのは、電池集合体にポッティング樹脂を密着させ、ポッティング樹脂が電池セルの熱エネルギーを外部に放熱するからである。また、排出弁から噴射される噴出ガスを電池セルからスムーズに排出できるのは、電池集合体にポッティング樹脂を密着させながら、絶縁スペースには閉塞カバーを配置し、この閉塞カバーで排出弁の排出口を塞いでポッティング樹脂の流入を阻止するが、閉塞カバーを噴出ガスで溶融される独立気泡の発泡体とするからである。噴出ガスで溶融される独立気泡の発泡体からなる閉塞カバーは、ポッティング樹脂の流入を確実に阻止しながら、無数の気泡によって空隙率を著しく大きくできるので、実質的に溶融される質量を極めて減少でき、排出口から噴射される高温・高圧の噴出ガスで速やかに溶融されて、噴出ガスを速やかに排出できる特徴がある。 The above power supply device is characterized in that the battery cell and the potting resin are in close contact with each other, the thermal energy of the battery cell can be dissipated efficiently, and the jetted gas of the discharge valve can be smoothly discharged to realize high safety. The power supply device described above can efficiently dissipate the heat of the battery cells because the potting resin is in close contact with the battery assembly, and the potting resin dissipates the heat energy of the battery cells to the outside. In addition, it is possible to smoothly discharge the gas jetted from the discharge valve from the battery cell, by placing a blocking cover in the insulating space while bringing the potting resin into close contact with the battery assembly, and discharging the discharge valve with this blocking cover. Although the outlet is closed to prevent the inflow of potting resin, the closed cover is a foam of closed cells which is melted by the blow gas. The closed cover made of closed-cell foam that is melted by the blow gas substantially reduces the mass to be melted substantially because the porosity can be significantly increased by the innumerable bubbles while reliably preventing the inflow of potting resin. It is characterized in that it can be rapidly melted by the high temperature and high pressure jetted gas injected from the discharge port, and the jetted gas can be discharged quickly.
 さらに、以上の電源装置は、閉塞カバーで排出弁の排出口を塞ぐ状態でポッティング樹脂を充填できるので、ポッティング樹脂が排出弁の排出口を塞ぐのを確実に阻止して、ポッティング樹脂を電池セルの放熱に好ましい位置に充填しながら、ポッティング樹脂を簡単かつ容易に、しかも能率よく充填して効率よく多量生産できる特徴がある。したがって、以上の電源装置は、ポッティング樹脂で優れた放熱特性を実現し、さらに排出弁の排出口がポッティング樹脂で閉塞されるのを阻止しながら、噴出ガスをスムーズに排出することで、高い安全性を実現する特徴も実現する。 Furthermore, since the above power supply device can be filled with the potting resin in a state where the discharge cover of the discharge valve is closed by the closing cover, the potting resin is reliably prevented from closing the discharge port of the discharge valve. It is characterized in that the potting resin can be easily, easily and efficiently filled and efficiently mass-produced while filling at a position preferable for heat dissipation. Therefore, the above power supply device realizes excellent heat radiation characteristics with potting resin, and further prevents the exhaust valve from being blocked by the potting resin, and smoothly discharges the jetted gas, thereby providing high safety. It also realizes the feature to realize the nature.

The battery assembly 40 arranges a pair of battery units 40A arranged at opposing positions in the axial direction of the secondary battery cell 1, and also provides an insulating space 6 between the pair of battery units 40A. Each battery unit 40A arrange | positions the edge part electrode 13 in the opposing position of the insulation space 6, as shown to the enlarged sectional view of FIG.
(Secondary battery cell 1)
 二次電池セル1は、設定圧力で開弁する排出弁の排出口(図視せず)を端面に設けている。二次電池セル1は両端に端部電極13を設けている。この二次電池セル1は、アルミニウム等の金属製外装缶の開口部を封口板で気密に密閉して、封口板に凸部電極を設けて第1の端部電極13Aとし、外装缶の底面を第2の端部電極13Bとしている。排出弁の排出口は、凸部電極側に設けられ、あるいは外装缶の底面に設けられる。 The secondary battery cell 1 is provided at its end face with a discharge port (not shown) of a discharge valve that opens at a set pressure. The secondary battery cell 1 is provided with end electrodes 13 at both ends.

The discharge port of the discharge valve is provided on the convex electrode side or on the bottom surface of the outer can.
 二次電池セル1は、円筒形電池のリチウムイオン電池である。リチウムイオン電池は、大きさや重量に対する容量が大きく、電源装置100のトータル容量を大きくできる。ただし、本発明の電源装置は、二次電池セルをリチウムイオン電池には特定しない。二次電池セルには、充電できる他の二次電池が使用できる。また、図1の電源装置100は、二次電池セル1を円筒形電池とするが、二次電池セルには角形電池も使用できる。各々の二次電池セル1は、その両端の端部電極13にリード板45を溶接して、隣接する二次電池セル1を直列又は並列に接続している。
(電池ホルダ44)
The secondary battery cell 1 is a cylindrical lithium ion battery. The lithium ion battery has a large capacity with respect to size and weight, and can increase the total capacity of the power supply device 100. However, the power supply device of the present invention does not specify the secondary battery cell as a lithium ion battery. Other secondary batteries that can be charged can be used for the secondary battery cell. Moreover, although the power supply apparatus 100 of FIG. 1 makes the secondary battery cell 1 a cylindrical battery, a square battery can also be used for a secondary battery cell. In each of the secondary battery cells 1, a lead plate 45 is welded to the end electrodes 13 at both ends thereof, and the adjacent secondary battery cells 1 are connected in series or in parallel.
(Battery holder 44)
 二次電池セル1は、図4に示すように、電池ホルダ44で定位置に配置している。電池ホルダ44はプラスチック等の絶縁材を成形して制作される。図の電池ホルダ44は、すべての二次電池セル1を平行な姿勢で定位置に配置している。電池ホルダ44で定位置に配置される二次電池セル1は、その両端にリード板45を溶接するので、各々の端部に溶接されるリード板45を同一面に位置するように、各々の二次電池セル1をその両端部がほぼ同一面に位置するように、電池ホルダ44に配置している。 The secondary battery cell 1 is disposed at a fixed position by the battery holder 44 as shown in FIG. The battery holder 44 is manufactured by molding an insulating material such as plastic. The illustrated battery holder 44 arranges all the secondary battery cells 1 at a fixed position in a parallel posture. Since the secondary battery cells 1 arranged at a fixed position by the battery holder 44 have the lead plates 45 welded to both ends, each lead plate 45 to be welded to each end is positioned in the same plane. The secondary battery cell 1 is disposed in the battery holder 44 so that both ends thereof are positioned substantially in the same plane.
 電池ホルダ44は、二次電池セル1を挿入して定位置に配置する挿入部44Aを設けている。図の電源装置100は、二次電池セル1を円筒形電池とするので、挿入部44Aを円柱状としている。電池ホルダ44は、プラスチックを筒状に成形して内側に挿入部44Aを設けている。挿入部44Aは、電池端部を露出させる開口部44Bを両端に設けている。開口部44Bは、挿入部44Aに挿入される二次電池セル1の端部を挿入部44Aから外部に露出させる。開口部44Bに露出される二次電池セル1の端面は、端部電極13となってここにリード板45が溶接して固定される。
(ポッティング樹脂7)
The battery holder 44 is provided with the insertion part 44A which inserts the secondary battery cell 1 and arrange | positions in a fixed position. In the power supply device 100 shown in the figure, since the secondary battery cell 1 is a cylindrical battery, the insertion portion 44A has a cylindrical shape. The battery holder 44 has a cylindrical plastic shape and is provided with the insertion portion 44A inside. The insertion portion 44A is provided at both ends with openings 44B for exposing the battery end. The opening 44B exposes the end of the secondary battery cell 1 inserted into the insertion portion 44A to the outside from the insertion portion 44A. The end face of the secondary battery cell 1 exposed to the opening 44B becomes the end electrode 13 and the lead plate 45 is welded and fixed here.
(Potting resin 7)
 電池集合体40は、ポッティング樹脂7に密着されて、二次電池セル1の熱エネルギーをポッティング樹脂7に伝導して放熱する。ポッティング樹脂7は、電池表面に直接に密着し、あるいは電池ホルダ44やリード板45を介して二次電池セル1に密着されて二次電池セル1の熱を放熱する。ポッティング樹脂7は、たとえば、電池集合体40を防水袋75に入れ、防水袋75に未硬化で液状のポッティング樹脂7を充填し、ポッティング樹脂7を硬化させて電池集合体40に密着状態となる。ただし、本発明は、ポッティング樹脂7を電池集合体40の二次電池セル1や電池ホルダ44等に密着する構造や方法を特定するものでないので、電池集合体を外装ケースに入れてポッティング樹脂を外装ケースに充填して密着することができ、また、ポッティング樹脂を充填するスペースを電池ホルダに設け、あるいは又ポッティング樹脂を充填する筐体に電池集合体を入れて充填することもできる。ポッティング樹脂7は、電池集合体40の電池表面などに密着する熱伝導面積を広くして、二次電池セル1を効果的に放熱できる。未硬化のポッティング樹脂7は液状で、充填されて狭い隙間にも浸入するので、二次電池セル1の端面に溶接しているリード板45の開口部や二次電池セル1との隙間から浸入して二次電池セル1の表面に密着される。 The battery assembly 40 is in close contact with the potting resin 7 and conducts heat energy of the secondary battery cell 1 to the potting resin 7 to dissipate heat. The potting resin 7 is in close contact with the battery surface directly or in close contact with the secondary battery cell 1 via the battery holder 44 and the lead plate 45 to dissipate the heat of the secondary battery cell 1. For example, the potting resin 7 puts the battery assembly 40 in the waterproof bag 75, fills the waterproof bag 75 with the uncured liquid potting resin 7, cures the potting resin 7, and adheres to the battery assembly 40. . However, since the present invention does not specify the structure or method for closely adhering the potting resin 7 to the secondary battery cell 1 of the battery assembly 40, the battery holder 44, etc., the battery assembly is put in the outer case and the potting resin is The battery case can be filled and closely attached, and a space for filling the potting resin can be provided in the battery holder, or alternatively, the battery assembly can be placed and filled in a case for filling the potting resin. The potting resin 7 can widen the heat conduction area in close contact with the battery surface of the battery assembly 40 and the like, and can effectively dissipate the heat of the secondary battery cell 1. The uncured potting resin 7 is in a liquid state, and is filled and infiltrates into a narrow gap. Therefore, it penetrates from the opening of the lead plate 45 welded to the end face of the secondary battery cell 1 and the gap with the secondary battery cell 1 Then, it is in close contact with the surface of the secondary battery cell 1.
 図1に示すように、一対の電池ユニット40Aの間に絶縁スペース6を設けて、絶縁スペース6の両側に二次電池セル1の端面を配置する電池集合体40は、排出弁の排出口が絶縁スペース6に露出する。排出弁が開弁すると、排出口からは高温の噴出ガスが噴射される。絶縁スペース6にポッティング樹脂7が充填されると、ポッティング樹脂7が排出弁の排出口を閉塞して噴出ガスの排出を阻害する。また、排出口から内部に浸入するポッティング樹脂7は、排出弁の正常な動作を阻害する。電源装置は、二次電池セル1の内圧が異常に高くなると排出弁を開いて二次電池セル1の破裂を防止するので、噴出ガスをスムーズに排出できない構造は、たとえ二次電池セル1の熱を効率よく放熱できるとしても、高い安全性は確保できない。
(閉塞カバー61)
As shown in FIG. 1, the battery assembly 40 in which the insulating space 6 is provided between the pair of battery units 40A and the end faces of the secondary battery cells 1 are disposed on both sides of the insulating space 6 has a discharge port of the discharge valve. Exposed to the insulating space 6. When the discharge valve is opened, high temperature jetted gas is injected from the discharge port. When the insulating space 6 is filled with the potting resin 7, the potting resin 7 blocks the discharge port of the discharge valve to inhibit the discharge of the jetted gas. In addition, the potting resin 7 which intrudes into the interior from the discharge port inhibits the normal operation of the discharge valve. The power supply device opens the discharge valve to prevent the rupture of the secondary battery cell 1 when the internal pressure of the secondary battery cell 1 becomes abnormally high, so that the structure in which the jetted gas can not be discharged smoothly is similar to that of the secondary battery cell 1 Even if heat can be dissipated efficiently, high safety can not be ensured.
(Occlusion cover 61)
 電源装置100は、ポッティング樹脂7が排出弁の排出口を閉塞しないように、絶縁スペース6に閉塞カバー61を配置している。電源装置100の閉塞カバー61は、図1~図5に示すように、絶縁スペース6の外周部を閉塞する外周枠部62を有し、この外周枠部62でポッティング樹脂7の絶縁スペース6への注入を阻止して、ポッティング樹脂7を外周枠部62の外側に充填して、外周枠部62の内側に排気チャンバー63を設けて、排気チャンバー63に排出弁の排出口を露出させている。外周枠部62は、絶縁スペース6の外周縁部に沿って伸びる形状で、電池ユニット40Aの端面に隙間なく密着して、絶縁スペース6にポッティング樹脂7が流入するのを阻止している。この構造の閉塞カバー61は、外周枠部62の内側に大容積の排気チャンバー63を設けて、ここに噴出ガスを噴射できるので、噴出ガスをスムーズに排出できる特徴がある。それは、大容積の排気チャンバー63は、排出弁の排出口から噴射される噴出ガスによる内圧上昇が緩慢で排気抵抗の上昇勾配を緩やかにできるからである。 In the power supply apparatus 100, the closing cover 61 is disposed in the insulating space 6 so that the potting resin 7 does not close the discharge port of the discharge valve. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the closing cover 61 of the power supply apparatus 100 has an outer peripheral frame 62 closing the outer peripheral part of the insulating space 6, and the outer peripheral frame 62 moves to the insulating space 6 of the potting resin 7. The potting resin 7 is filled on the outer side of the outer peripheral frame 62, and the exhaust chamber 63 is provided inside the outer peripheral frame 62 to expose the exhaust port of the exhaust valve to the exhaust chamber 63. . The outer peripheral frame portion 62 has a shape extending along the outer peripheral edge portion of the insulating space 6, closely in contact with the end face of the battery unit 40A without a gap, and prevents the potting resin 7 from flowing into the insulating space 6. The closed cover 61 having this structure is characterized in that a large volume exhaust chamber 63 is provided inside the outer peripheral frame 62 and the jetted gas can be jetted here, so that the jetted gas can be smoothly discharged. The reason is that the large-volume exhaust chamber 63 has a slow rise in internal pressure due to the gas jetted from the discharge port of the discharge valve, and can make the rise gradient of the exhaust resistance gentle.
 閉塞カバー61は、排出弁から排出される噴出ガスで溶融する独立気泡を有する絶縁材の発泡体で成形される。噴出ガスで溶融される閉塞カバー61の溶融温度は、たとえば100℃以上であって500℃以下、好ましくは200℃以上であって400℃以下とする。溶融温度の低い閉塞カバー61は、噴出ガスで速やかに溶融して噴出ガスを絶縁スペース6の外部に排出し、溶融温度の高い閉塞カバー61は、使用状態において確実に絶縁スペース6を閉塞できる。閉塞カバー61の溶融温度が低すぎると、電池温度で溶融し、あるいは変形し、また高すぎると噴出ガスで速やかに溶融できなくなる。したがって、閉塞カバー61の溶融温度は、噴出ガスでは速やかに溶融し、かつ噴出ガスが噴射されない状態では変形したり溶融しない温度特性を考慮して、先述の範囲に設定される。 The closing cover 61 is formed of a foam of an insulating material having closed cells which are melted by the gas discharged from the discharge valve. The melting temperature of the blocking cover 61 melted by the jet gas is, for example, 100 ° C. or more and 500 ° C. or less, preferably 200 ° C. or more and 400 ° C. or less. The closing cover 61 having a low melting temperature can be quickly melted by the jetted gas to discharge the jetted gas to the outside of the insulating space 6, and the closing cover 61 having a high melting temperature can block the insulating space 6 reliably in use. If the melting temperature of the blocking cover 61 is too low, it will melt or deform at the battery temperature, and if too high, it will not be possible to quickly melt it with the jet gas. Therefore, the melting temperature of the closing cover 61 is set in the above-mentioned range in consideration of the temperature characteristic which is promptly melted in the jetted gas and does not deform or melt in the state where the jetted gas is not jetted.
 噴出ガスで溶融する閉塞カバー61は、液状のポッティング樹脂7を充填する工程では溶融されずにポッティング樹脂7の絶縁スペース6への流入を阻止し、開弁した排出弁から噴射される高温の噴出ガスで溶融される。溶融された閉塞カバー61は絶縁スペース6を外部に開放して、噴射される噴出ガスを図2及び図3の矢印で示すように、絶縁スペース6から排出する。絶縁材の閉塞カバー61は、電池ユニット40Aの端部電極13側に密着して、絶縁スペース6を閉塞できる。とくに、端部電極13側には金属板のリード板45を配置しているので、絶縁材の閉塞カバー61はリード板45に密着して、リード板45を短絡することなく絶縁スペース6を閉塞できる。さらに、独立気泡を有する発泡体の閉塞カバー61は、単位体積に対する重量が小さく、密度を低くできるので、高温の噴出ガスで速やかに溶融されて、噴出ガスを絶縁スペース6から速やかに外部に排出できる特徴がある。さらに発泡体の閉塞カバー61は、成形時の発泡倍率をコントロールしてより低比重化できるので、噴出ガスによる溶融時間を極めて短縮することができる。 The closed cover 61 melted by the jetted gas prevents the flow of the potting resin 7 into the insulating space 6 without being melted in the step of filling the liquid potting resin 7 and jets high temperature jetted from the opened discharge valve. It is melted by gas. The melted closing cover 61 opens the insulating space 6 to the outside, and the jetted gas to be injected is discharged from the insulating space 6 as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 2 and 3. The closing cover 61 made of an insulating material is in close contact with the end portion electrode 13 side of the battery unit 40A, so that the insulating space 6 can be closed. In particular, since the lead plate 45 of a metal plate is disposed on the side of the end electrode 13, the closing cover 61 of the insulating material is in close contact with the lead plate 45, and the insulating space 6 is closed without shorting the lead plate 45. it can. Furthermore, since the closed cover 61 of the foam having closed cells has a small weight per unit volume and can reduce the density, it is rapidly melted by the high-temperature jetted gas, and the jetted gas is rapidly discharged to the outside from the insulating space 6 There is a feature that can be done. Furthermore, since the closed cover 61 of the foam can be made to have a lower specific gravity by controlling the foaming ratio at the time of molding, the melting time by the jet gas can be extremely shortened.
 閉塞カバー61は、ゴム状弾性体の発泡体で成形している。ゴム状弾性体の閉塞カバー61は、たとえば合成ゴム発泡体や軟質のプラスチック発泡体で成形される。合成ゴム発泡体はプロピレンゴムが使用できる。軟質のプラスチック発泡体には、たとえば軟質ウレタン発泡体が使用できる。ゴム状弾性体の閉塞カバー61は、一対の電池ユニット40Aの間に配置し、両側の電池ユニット40Aで押圧し、圧縮される状態に弾性変形させることで、電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aに密着する。電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aに密着する閉塞カバー61は、絶縁スペース6に注入される液状のポッティング樹脂7が絶縁スペース6に浸入するのを確実に阻止できる特徴がある。とくに、絶縁スペース6との対向面40aにリード板45を固定している電池ユニット40Aは、リード板45によって対向面40aに凹凸や隙間ができるが、弾性変形して密着する閉塞カバー61は、凹凸を吸収し、隙間を閉塞してポッティング樹脂7の絶縁スペース6への浸入を確実に阻止できる特徴がある。さらに、独立気泡を有する発泡体からなるゴム状弾性体の閉塞カバー61は、無数の気泡でより柔軟化されて変形できる自由度が大きくなり、凹凸のある電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aに隙間なく密着し、また隙間を閉塞して絶縁スペース6へのポッティング樹脂7の流入をより確実に阻止できる特徴がある。さらに、ゴム状弾性体の発泡体からなる閉塞カバー61は、弾性変形して電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aに密着する状態で、電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aの押圧力を小さくできる。したがって、電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aに密着しながら、電池ユニット40Aに無理な応力を作用させることなく、絶縁スペース6を確実に閉塞できる特徴がある。 The closing cover 61 is formed of a rubber-like elastic foam. The rubber-like elastic closure cover 61 is formed of, for example, a synthetic rubber foam or a soft plastic foam. Propylene rubber can be used as the synthetic rubber foam. For example, a soft urethane foam can be used for the soft plastic foam. The closing cover 61 made of a rubber-like elastic body is disposed between the pair of battery units 40A, pressed by the battery units 40A on both sides, and elastically deformed in a compressed state to be in close contact with the opposing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A. Do. The closing cover 61 in close contact with the facing surface 40 a of the battery unit 40 A is characterized in that the liquid potting resin 7 injected into the insulating space 6 can be reliably prevented from entering the insulating space 6. In particular, in the battery unit 40A in which the lead plate 45 is fixed to the facing surface 40a with the insulating space 6, the lead plate 45 forms asperities and gaps on the facing surface 40a. It is characterized in that the unevenness can be absorbed and the gap can be closed to surely prevent the potting resin 7 from invading the insulating space 6. Furthermore, the closed cover 61 of the rubber-like elastic body made of the foam having the closed cells has a greater degree of freedom to be softened and deformed by the innumerable air bubbles, and there is no gap on the facing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A having unevenness. It is characterized in that it adheres tightly and closes the gap to prevent the potting resin 7 from flowing into the insulating space 6 more reliably. Further, the closing cover 61 made of a rubber elastic body can be elastically deformed to be in close contact with the facing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A, thereby reducing the pressing force of the facing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A. Therefore, there is a feature that the insulating space 6 can be reliably closed without causing an excessive stress on the battery unit 40A while in close contact with the facing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A.
 ただ、本発明の電源装置は、閉塞カバー61を必ずしもゴム状弾性体で成形する必要はない。それは、閉塞カバー61と電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aとの間に弾性変形するパッキンを配置し、あるいはシール材を塗布して、閉塞カバー61を電池ユニット40Aの対向面40aに隙間なく密着することができるからである。 However, in the power supply device of the present invention, the closing cover 61 does not necessarily have to be formed of a rubber-like elastic body. In this method, a packing that elastically deforms is disposed between the closing cover 61 and the facing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A, or a sealing material is applied to closely attach the closing cover 61 to the facing surface 40a of the battery unit 40A. It is because
 図1~図3の電源装置100は、閉塞カバー61に外周枠部62を設けて、外周枠部62の内側に排気チャンバー63を設けているが、本発明は閉塞カバー61をこの形状に特定するものでない。たとえば、図示しないが、閉塞カバーは、二次電池セルの排出弁の排出口との対向面に凹部を設けた板状の発泡体に成形し、あるいは、絶縁スペースに隙間なく配設されて、排気チャンバーを設けない板状に成形して排出弁の排出口を塞ぐこともできる。これ等の形状の閉塞カバーは、発泡体の発泡倍率を高くして閉塞カバー内部の空隙率を高くし、また溶融温度を低くして高温の噴出ガスによる溶融時間を短縮して、絶縁スペースに噴射される噴出ガスを速やかに外部に排出する。
(耐熱シート64)
Although the power supply apparatus 100 of FIGS. 1 to 3 has the outer peripheral frame 62 provided on the closing cover 61 and the exhaust chamber 63 provided inside the outer peripheral frame 62, the present invention identifies the closing cover 61 in this shape. It is not something to do. For example, although not shown, the closing cover is formed into a plate-like foam in which a recess is provided on the surface facing the discharge port of the discharge valve of the secondary battery cell, or it is disposed without gaps in the insulating space, It is also possible to form a plate without the exhaust chamber to close the outlet of the outlet valve. In these forms of the closure cover, the expansion ratio of the foam is increased to increase the porosity inside the closure cover, and the melting temperature is lowered to shorten the melting time by the high-temperature jetted gas, thereby providing an insulating space. Immediately discharge the jetted gas to the outside.
(Heat resistant sheet 64)
 図1及び図2の電源装置100は、絶縁スペース6の中間に耐熱シート64を配置し、耐熱シート64の両側に閉塞カバー61を配置して、閉塞カバー61を耐熱シート64と電池ユニット40Aとの間に配置している。耐熱シート64は噴出ガスが溶融されない耐熱特性のシートで、絶縁スペース6に噴射される噴出ガスから対向する二次電池セル1を保護して、二次電池セル1の熱暴走を防止する。耐熱シート64は絶縁性のシートで、その両面、すなわち絶縁スペース6の対向面40aに配置される電池ユニット40Aのリード板45の短絡を防止する。耐熱シート64には、難燃処理した絶縁紙や絶縁性の耐熱繊維を集合した紙や不織布が使用できる。これ等の耐熱シート64は薄くできるので、耐熱シート64が絶縁スペース6の実質容積を減少することなく絶縁スペース6を広くして噴出ガスをスムーズに排出できる特徴がある。 The power supply apparatus 100 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 arranges the heat resistant sheet 64 in the middle of the insulating space 6, arranges the closing cover 61 on both sides of the heat resistant sheet 64, and forms the closing cover 61 with the heat resistant sheet 64 and the battery unit 40A. Are placed between The heat-resistant sheet 64 is a sheet having a heat-resistant property in which the jetted gas is not melted, and protects the opposing secondary battery cell 1 from the jetted gas injected into the insulating space 6 to prevent thermal runaway of the secondary battery cell 1. The heat-resistant sheet 64 is an insulating sheet, and prevents short circuiting of the lead plates 45 of the battery unit 40A disposed on the opposite surface 40a of the both surfaces, ie, the insulating space 6. For the heat-resistant sheet 64, it is possible to use flame-retardant treated insulating paper or paper or non-woven fabric in which insulating heat-resistant fibers are collected. Since these heat-resistant sheets 64 can be made thin, the heat-resistant sheets 64 can widen the insulating space 6 without reducing the substantial volume of the insulating space 6 and can discharge the jetted gas smoothly.
 さらに、図1及び図3の電源装置100は、図2及び図5に示すように、閉塞カバー61の外周枠部62の表面と耐熱シート64の表面とに絶縁シート65を積層している。絶縁シート65はプラスチック製で、耐熱シート64の両面に閉塞カバー61を配置して、耐熱シート64と両側の閉塞カバー61とを一体構造に連結して、絶縁スペース6に配設される板状の絶縁スペーサ60としている。絶縁スペーサ60は、一対の電池ユニット40Aの間に挟む状態で配置されて、閉塞カバー61と耐熱シート64とを絶縁スペース6の定位置に配置する。したがって、この構造は組み立て工程を簡単にして能率よく多量生産して、耐熱シート64と閉塞カバー61とを正確な位置に配置できる特徴がある。 Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the power supply device 100 of FIGS. 1 and 3 has the insulating sheet 65 laminated on the surface of the outer peripheral frame 62 of the closing cover 61 and the surface of the heat resistant sheet 64. The insulating sheet 65 is made of plastic, and the closing covers 61 are disposed on both sides of the heat resistant sheet 64, and the heat resistant sheet 64 and the closing covers 61 on both sides are integrally connected to each other. As the insulating spacer 60 of FIG. The insulating spacer 60 is disposed in a state of being sandwiched between the pair of battery units 40A, and arranges the closing cover 61 and the heat-resistant sheet 64 at a predetermined position of the insulating space 6. Therefore, this structure is characterized in that the assembly process is simplified and mass production is efficiently performed, and the heat-resistant sheet 64 and the closing cover 61 can be disposed at the correct positions.
