Abstract
Description
コイン型の電池を小型電子機器用途に用いる場合、プリント基板への取り付けが求められる場合がある。例えば、リチウム二次電池やCR一次電池といったリチウム電池では、ニッケル板等からなるリード端子を電池に溶接し、半田付けにより基板に取り付ける技術が広く知られている(特許文献2参照)。
ここで正極缶は、かしめの形状や内容積に対する活物質や電解液の充填率、正極缶及び負極缶の材質等の組合せにより、かしめ時の応力が正極缶底面に発生し、正極缶の円周側に対し中心付近を最大として厚さ方向にわずかに膨張する。
ここで、上述のように中心付近が膨張した正極缶に端子を溶接する場合、正極缶の中心付近を跨いで端子を載置した状態では、正極缶の中心を境に端子の一方では正極缶と端子が接するが、端子のもう一方では正極缶と端子の間に隙間が生じてしまう。
すると、例えば複数の溶接部で端子を電池缶に溶接しようとすると、上述の隙間が影響し、溶接が不十分な箇所が発生し、溶接強度が低下する可能性がある。
図1~図4は本発明に係る第1実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池を示す図面である。
本実施形態の電池1は、後述する正極合剤と負極合剤および電解液などを扁平形の金属缶に収容した電池である。金属缶は正極缶2と負極缶3を有する。正極缶2と負極缶3には、それらを厚さ方向両側から挟むように正極端子10と負極端子11が取り付けられ、これらは溶接により正極缶2または負極缶3に取り付けられている。これにより、本実施形態の端子付きボタン電池100は、電池1に正極端子10と負極端子11とが取り付けられた構造を有している。
密閉空間8Sには、正極合剤5、セパレータ6、負極合剤7が収容され、セパレータ6を挟んで正極缶2側に正極合剤5、負極缶3側に負極合剤7がそれぞれ配置されている。
封口状態は、例えば、正極缶2の開口部の高さ位置(H1)と負極缶3の底部の高さ位置(H2)との差である(H2-H1)は、例えば、SR716SW(外径7.9mm、高さ1.6mm)型の酸化銀電池では0.10~0.15mmである。また、IEC(国際電気標準会議)規格において以下のように規定されている。H2≦1.65のとき、0.02mm以上、1.65<H2<2.5のとき0.06mm以上、H2≧2.5のとき0.08mm以上。
負極活物質として、例えば、亜鉛粉末又は亜鉛合金粉末を用いることができる。伝導度安定剤としては、酸化亜鉛(ZnO)等を用いることができる。また、ゲル化剤としては、カルボキシメチルセルロース、又はポリアクリル酸、又はカルボキシメチルセルロースとポリアクリル酸との混合物が好ましい。カルボキシメチルセルロース又はポリアクリル酸を用いることによって、負極合剤7の電解液に対する親液性及び保液性を向上することができる。
粘弾性調整材は、負極合剤7の粘弾性を、良好なハンドリング性が得られる粘弾性とし、且つ生産性を向上するために配合される。この粘弾性調整材としては、強アルカリ性である電解液と反応しない樹脂粉末が用いられる。ここでは、電解液と化学的反応をせず、且つ電解液を吸収しない状態を、電解液と反応しない状態とする。
セパレータ6としては、従来から電池のセパレータに用いられるものを何ら制限無く適用でき、例えば、ポリエチレンフィルム、セロファン、グラフト重合膜等の微多孔膜、若しくは、セルロースからなる吸液紙等の不織布を用いることができる。また、これらの微多孔膜や不織布を組合せて用いてもよい。
正極端子10の厚さが、0.07~0.15mmであれば、端子としての強度を確保できる。これに加えて、溶接によって正極端子10を正極缶2に固定する場合、溶接機が適正な熱量を付加することができる。正極端子10の厚さが上述の範囲より薄い場合は、溶接時に正極端子が破れて部分的に損傷し、溶接強度が向上しないおそれを有する。
正極端子10は、正極缶2の底面2Aに沿って配置される短冊板状の正極接続部10Aと、正極接続部10Aに対し略直角に延出された中間部10Bと、該中間部10Bに対し略直角に延出された平坦な基板接続部10Cを有する。中間部10Bは先窄まり形状であり、中間部10Bには正極接続部10Aの1/4程度の幅を有する基板接続部10Cが延出されている。
基板接続部10Cは、本実施形態の電池1を実装する基板に形成されている端子パッドなどの接続面S(図3参照)にはんだ付けされる部分である。従って、基板接続部10Cは基板に接続可能な接続部となる。
負極端子11は、基板接続部11Cを正極端子10の基板接続部10Cに隣接させるように負極缶3の底面(外面)に溶接されている。また、負極端子11は、全体として平板状であり、負極缶3の底面に沿って延在されている。
換言すると、正極端子10は、底面2Aの中心2aと、該中心2aから底面2Aの径方向に沿って該底面2Aの一側の周縁2bを通過するように配置されている。また、正極接続部10Aの長さは、底面2Aの半径より長く、直径より短く形成されている。このため、正極接続部10Aの先端部10aは、底面2Aの中心2aを超え、この中心2aと底面2Aの他側の周縁2dの中間位置まで延出されている。
なお、正極接続部10Aにおいて先端部10aの位置は、中心2aを超えない位置であっても良い。即ち、図3では先端部10aの位置が中心2aより左側に位置しているが、先端部10aの位置は中心2aより右側に位置していても良い。従って、正極接続部10Aの長さが底面2Aの半径より短く形成されていても良い。
第1溶接部15と第2溶接部16は、いずれもレーザー溶接により形成された溶接部である。第1溶接部15と第2溶接部16の正極缶底壁に対する最深の溶接深さは、正極缶底壁の厚さに対し、5μm以上であることが望ましい。
第1溶接部15と第2溶接部16の直径は、0.3~0.7mmの範囲であることが望ましい。
本実施形態において、第2溶接部16の形成位置は、図5に示すように、仮想線Lと底面2Aの周縁2bとの間に斜線で区画される領域Eにおいて、周縁2bに近い側である。よって、第2溶接部16は、第1溶接部15より周縁2bに近い側に形成される。
従って、正極接続部10Aは、正極缶2の底面2Aのうち、中心以外の第2溶接部16の位置であって、この溶接位置における接線tの傾きで正極缶2の底面2Aに沿って溶接され固定されている。即ち、正極接続部10Aは、正極接続部10Aを配置した底面2Aの径方向を通り底面2Aに垂直な断面視で、底面2Aの中心以外の位置で底面2Aと接線tをなすように傾斜し底面2Aに固定されている。
底面2Aの中心2aと第2溶接部16との距離は、正極缶2の外径に応じて異なり、外径ψ4mm~ψ12mm程度の電池1であれば、1mm~5mm程度の範囲から選択することができる。
図3で示すと、正極接続部10Aは、左端側より右端側が下方になるように接線tに沿って傾斜されている。この傾斜により、図3に拡大して示すように、基板接続部10Cも右下がり状態に傾斜する。基板接続部10Cが右下がり状態に傾斜していると、基板上の端子パッドなどの接続面Sに基板接続部10Cを当接させると、基板接続部10Cの基端部(中間部側)が若干接続面Sから浮き上がって微小な隙間Gを生成する。この隙間Gは、はんだ付けの際にはんだが流入し、はんだ溜まりとなる。このため、上述の基板接続部10Cを備えた構造は、はんだ付けに際し、有利な構造となる。
また、負極端子11に負荷をかけることなくはんだ付けができるので、負極端子11の変形による正極缶2とのショートを防止できる。
正極端子10の正極接続部10Aにおいて、正極缶2の底面2Aの周縁2bに近い位置であって、正極端子10の幅方向中央に1つの円形状の第2溶接部16が形成されている点が異なる。
図6に示す第2実施形態のように第2溶接部16は1つであっても差し支えない。
第2実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池20であっても、第1実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池1と同等の作用効果を得ることができる。
第3実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池25であっても、第1実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池100と同等の作用効果を得ることができる。
第4実施形態の構造において、図8に示すように正極接続部10Aの幅方向に沿って中心2aを通過する仮想線Lを描いた場合、仮想線Lに沿う位置に離間して2つの第1溶接部15が形成されている。2つの第2溶接部16も2つの第1溶接部15と平行に並ぶように周縁2bに近い位置に形成されている。
第4実施形態では、2つの第1溶接部15と2つの第2溶接部16を設けているが、各溶接部の設置個数に特に制限はない。
第4実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池30であっても、第1実施形態の端子付きボタン型電池100と同等の作用効果を得ることができる。
正極缶と負極缶の内部に図4に示すように正極合剤、セパレータ、負極合剤、電解液を収容し、ガスケットを装着し、正極缶をかしめて封口することで、電池を試作した。
なお、正極缶と負極缶の密閉空間に正極合剤と負極合剤を充填したことから、正極缶のカシメにより、正極缶の底面には、底面中央において100μm以下の凸状の湾曲が生じていた。
以上の構造の電池を複数試作した。正極缶の底面の凸状の湾曲は作成した電池によって異なるが、いずれの電池においても5μm~70μmの範囲内に収まっていた。
溶接位置は、図1に示すように正極缶の底面中心に1ヶ所、底面周縁から底面中心に2mm離間した位置で正極接合部の板幅方向に1mm距離をあけた2ヶ所の合計3ヶ所とした。レーザー溶接機により付加できる熱量を調整できるので、前述の4種類の板厚の正極端子に対し、以下の表2に示すようにレーザー溶接機により付加する熱量を2.6J~6.0Jの範囲、パルス幅2~4msecの範囲で種々設定し、溶接を行った。また、レーザー溶接した正極端子に対し以下の方法に従い溶接強度の測定を行った。
溶接強度試験は、図9に示すように電池1に対し基板接続部10Cの先端を溶接面(底面2A)に対し垂直方向に折り曲げる。次に、この折り曲げた基板接続部10Cの先端を治具に挟み、端子部分を避けるように電池1を押さえ、図9の矢印F方向に基板接続部10Cを引っ張ることで行った。その後、第2溶接部16が底面2Aから剥離した時の力をフォースゲージで記録し、溶接強度とした。
以下の表2に端子厚さ(端子厚さ)とレーザー溶接時の熱量と得られた第2溶接部の溶接強度を示す。
図10のグラフと表2に示すように、溶接強度の下限を10Nとすると、厚さ0.07mm、0.10mm、0.15mmの3種類の正極端子であれば、2.6J~4.5J程度の熱量をかけて溶接することにより、充分に高い溶接強度が得られることがわかる。
厚さ0.20mmの正極端子は、溶接時の熱量を6.0Jと高くしなければ、満足な溶接強度を得ることができない。溶接時の熱量として、6.0Jをかけることは、電池の内部を不要に加熱することとなり、電池活物質や電解液への熱的な悪影響が懸念される。特に、酸化銀電池の場合に、酸化銀の劣化を防止しつつ良好な溶接部を得ることができる。
図10に示す結果から、熱量をかけすぎずに溶接強度を確保するためには、板厚:0.07~0.15mmの範囲の端子が望ましいと考えられる。
正極端子が薄すぎる場合は、溶接部としての充分な剥離強度を得難くなり、正極端子が0.2mm以上などのように厚くなりすぎると、端子そのものの弾性が高くなりすぎ、正極端子が正極缶の底面に沿うことができなくなる。
