Description
本発明は、セパレータを介してシート状の正極とシート状の負極とを複数積層させた電極体を外装体内に収容させた両面が平坦な電池を加圧ホルダーに挟み込むようにして加圧させた加圧ホルダー付き電池に係り、特に、加圧ホルダーにより電池の平坦な面全体を均一に加圧できるようにした点に特徴を有するものである。 In the present invention, a battery in which a double-sided battery in which an electrode body in which a plurality of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are stacked is accommodated in an exterior body is sandwiched between pressurizing holders via a separator is pressed. The present invention relates to a battery with a pressure holder, and is particularly characterized in that the entire flat surface of the battery can be uniformly pressurized by the pressure holder.
従来より、セパレータを介してシート状の正極とシート状の負極とを複数積層させた電極体を外装体内に収容させた両面が平坦な電池が様々な分野で利用されており、近年においては、このような電池を、ロボットや電気自動車やバックアップ電源などに使用するために、この電池の容量を高めると共に高率放電特性を向上させることが検討されている。 Conventionally, batteries having flat surfaces in which an electrode body in which a plurality of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are stacked via a separator are housed in an exterior body have been used in various fields.In recent years, In order to use such a battery for a robot, an electric vehicle, a backup power source, etc., it has been studied to increase the capacity of the battery and improve the high rate discharge characteristics.
ここで、上記のような電池の容量を高めると共に高率放電特性を向上させるため、セパレータを介して積層させるシート状の正極とシート状の負極との数を多くすると共に、上記の電池として、非水電解液を用い、リチウムイオンを正極と負極との間で移動させて、充放電を行うようにした非水電解質二次電池を用いることが行われている。 Here, in order to increase the capacity of the battery as described above and improve the high rate discharge characteristics, the number of the sheet-like positive electrode and the sheet-like negative electrode laminated via the separator is increased, and as the battery, A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which charge and discharge are performed by using a nonaqueous electrolyte and moving lithium ions between a positive electrode and a negative electrode is used.
しかし、上記のようにセパレータを介して積層させるシート状の正極とシート状の負極との数を多くすると共に、上記の電池に非水電解質二次電池を用いるようにした場合、充放電による電極体の膨張、収縮が大きく、充放電によりこの電池が次第に変形して電極間の距離が増加し、これにより電池の内部抵抗が増大して、電池容量や高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が大きく低下するという問題があった。 However, when the number of the sheet-like positive electrode and the sheet-like negative electrode laminated via the separator as described above is increased and the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is used for the battery, the electrode by charge / discharge is used. The body expands and contracts greatly, and the battery gradually deforms due to charging and discharging, increasing the distance between the electrodes, thereby increasing the internal resistance of the battery, and improving battery capacity, high rate discharge characteristics, and charge / discharge cycle characteristics. There was a problem of a significant drop.
このため、従来においては、両面が平坦な電池を一対の加圧板に挟み込み、この状態で、この一対の加圧板の４隅をボルトとナットで締め付けて平坦な電池の両面を加圧保持させ、上記のように充放電によって電池が変形するのを抑制することが行われている。 For this reason, conventionally, a battery with flat surfaces is sandwiched between a pair of pressure plates, and in this state, the four corners of the pair of pressure plates are tightened with bolts and nuts to press and hold both surfaces of the flat battery, As described above, the battery is prevented from being deformed by charging and discharging.
しかし、このように一対の加圧板の４隅をボルトとナットで締め付けて、両面が平坦な電池を一対の加圧板で挟み込むようにした場合、ボルトとナットで締め付けにより加圧板の周辺部が変形して、加圧板の周辺部よりも中央部の圧力が弱くなり、両面が平坦な電池全体を均一に加圧させることができず、この状態で、
電池を繰り返して充放電させると、依然として、この電池が次第に変形し、電池容量や高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が低下するという問題があった。
However, when the four corners of a pair of pressure plates are tightened with bolts and nuts and a battery with flat surfaces is sandwiched between the pair of pressure plates, the periphery of the pressure plates is deformed by tightening with the bolts and nuts. Then, the pressure in the center part becomes weaker than the peripheral part of the pressure plate, and the whole battery with flat surfaces cannot be uniformly pressed.
When the battery is repeatedly charged and discharged, there is still a problem that the battery is gradually deformed and the battery capacity, high rate discharge characteristics, and charge / discharge cycle characteristics are deteriorated.
また、従来においては、特許文献１に示されるように、一方の面が凸レンズ形状で、他面が平面である加圧部材を用い、この加圧部材の平面側を上記のようにセパレータを介してシート状の正極とシート状の負極とを複数積層させた電極体に接触させるようにして、この加圧部材を電池容器内に収容させて上記の電極体を加圧させ、これにより電極体が膨張、収縮するのを抑制するようにしたものが提案されている。 Conventionally, as shown in Patent Document 1, a pressure member having one surface having a convex lens shape and the other surface being a flat surface is used, and the flat surface side of the pressure member is interposed via a separator as described above. In this manner, the pressure member is accommodated in the battery container so as to be brought into contact with an electrode body in which a plurality of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are laminated, and the electrode body is pressurized, whereby the electrode body Has been proposed that suppresses the expansion and contraction of the liquid.
しかし、このようにした場合においても、充放電による電極体の膨張、収縮を十分に抑制することができず、充放電により電池容器が大きく変形して、電池容量や高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が低下するという問題があった。
本発明は、セパレータを介してシート状の正極とシート状の負極とを複数積層させた電極体を外装体内に収容させて両面が平坦になった電池を加圧ホルダーに挟み込むようにして加圧させた加圧ホルダー付き電池における上記のような問題を解決することを課題とするものである。 In the present invention, an electrode body in which a plurality of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are laminated via a separator is housed in an exterior body, and a battery whose both surfaces are flattened is sandwiched between pressurization holders. It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-described problems in a battery with a pressurized holder.
すなわち、本発明においては、加圧ホルダーにより電池の平坦な面全体を均一に加圧できるようにし、電池容量を高めると共に高率放電特性を向上させるために、セパレータを介して積層させるシート状の正極とシート状の負極との数を多くすると共に、この電池に非水電解質二次電池を用いた場合においても、充放電によって電池が変形するのを抑制して、電池容量や高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が低下するのを防止することを課題とするものである。 That is, in the present invention, in order to uniformly press the entire flat surface of the battery with the pressure holder, in order to increase the battery capacity and improve the high-rate discharge characteristics, a sheet-like sheet laminated via the separator is used. In addition to increasing the number of positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes, even when a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery is used for this battery, the battery is prevented from being deformed by charging and discharging, and the battery capacity and high rate discharge characteristics It is another object of the present invention to prevent deterioration of charge / discharge cycle characteristics.
本発明においては、上記のような課題を解決するため、セパレータを介してシート状の正極とシート状の負極とを複数積層させた電極体を外装体内に収容させた両面が平坦な電池を加圧ホルダーに挟み込むようにして加圧させた加圧ホルダー付き電池において、上記の加圧ホルダーが、上記の電池を平坦な面を挟み込む一対の加圧板と、各加圧板の外面側に突起物を介して配置される一対の補助加圧板と、上記の電池を挟み込むようにこの一対の補助加圧板を加圧させる加圧手段とを有するようにした。 In the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problems, a battery having a flat both surface in which an electrode body in which a plurality of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are laminated via a separator is accommodated is added. In a battery with a pressure holder that is pressed between the pressure holders, the pressure holder includes a pair of pressure plates that sandwich the flat surface of the battery, and a protrusion on the outer surface side of each pressure plate. And a pair of auxiliary pressure plates, and a pressure unit that pressurizes the pair of auxiliary pressure plates so as to sandwich the battery.
ここで、上記のように一対の補助加圧板を加圧手段によって電池を挟み込むように加圧させるにあたっては、両面が平坦な電池全体が適切に加圧されるようにするため、補助加圧板の各隅部に加圧手段を設けることが好ましい。 Here, in pressurizing the pair of auxiliary pressurization plates so that the battery is sandwiched by the pressurizing means as described above, in order to appropriately pressurize the entire battery whose both surfaces are flat, It is preferable to provide pressurizing means at each corner.
また、上記のように加圧板と補助加圧板との間に突起物を介在させるにあたっては、上記の両面が平坦な電池がより均一に加圧されるようにするため、加圧板と補助加圧板との間における突起物の高さを、加圧板及び補助加圧板の周辺側よりも中央部側が高くなるようにすることが好ましい。 In addition, when the protrusions are interposed between the pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate as described above, the pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate are used so that the battery having the flat surfaces is pressed more uniformly. It is preferable that the height of the projections between the center and the auxiliary pressure plate is higher on the center side than on the peripheral side of the pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate.
なお、このように加圧板と補助加圧板との間に突起物を介在させるにあたっては、面積が大きな突起物を１つ設けるようにする他、面積が小さな複数個の突起物を適当な位置に配置させるようにすることができ、このように複数個の突起物を適当な位置に配置させるようにすると、広い範囲で電池をより均一に加圧させることができるようになる。 In addition, when the protrusion is interposed between the pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate in this way, one protrusion having a large area is provided, and a plurality of protrusions having a small area are placed at appropriate positions. If the plurality of protrusions are arranged at appropriate positions in this way, the battery can be more uniformly pressurized in a wide range.
また、本発明において使用する電池の種類は特に限定されないが、電池容量が高く、高率放電特性にも優れた非水電解質二次電池を用いることが好ましく、また非水電解質二次電池においては、充放電による電極体の膨張、収縮が大きいため、上記の加圧ホルダーによって加圧保持させることにより、電池の変形がより効果的に抑制されるようになる。 In addition, the type of battery used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having a high battery capacity and excellent high-rate discharge characteristics. In a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, Since the expansion and contraction of the electrode body due to charging / discharging is large, deformation of the battery is more effectively suppressed by holding the pressure by the pressure holder.
本発明における加圧ホルダー付き電池においては、セパレータを介してシート状の正極とシート状の負極とを複数積層させた電極体を外装体内に収容させた両面が平坦な電池を加圧ホルダーに挟み込むにあたり、電池の平坦な面を挟み込む一対の加圧板の外面側に、それぞれ突起物を介して補助加圧板を配置させ、上記の電池を挟み込むように、加圧手段によってこの一対の補助加圧板を加圧させるようにする。 In the battery with a pressure holder according to the present invention, a battery having a flat double-sided surface in which an electrode body in which a plurality of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are stacked is accommodated in an exterior body via a separator is sandwiched between the pressure holders. In this case, the auxiliary pressure plates are arranged on the outer surface sides of the pair of pressure plates sandwiching the flat surface of the battery via the protrusions, respectively, and the pair of auxiliary pressure plates are pressed by the pressure means so as to sandwich the battery. Apply pressure.
このようにして電池の平坦な面を加圧させるようにすると、上記の一対の補助加圧板の各隅部を加圧手段により加圧させた場合に、この一対の補助加圧板が変形したとしても、電池の平坦な面を挟み込んだ一対の加圧板が変形することがなく、この一対の加圧板が補助加圧板との間に存在する突起物により加圧され、このように加圧された加圧板によって、上記の電池の平坦な面全体が均一に加圧されるようになる。 When the flat surfaces of the battery are pressed in this way, when the corners of the pair of auxiliary pressure plates are pressed by the pressing means, the pair of auxiliary pressure plates are deformed. In addition, the pair of pressure plates sandwiching the flat surface of the battery is not deformed, and the pair of pressure plates is pressed by the protrusions existing between the auxiliary pressure plates and thus pressed. The entire flat surface of the battery is uniformly pressed by the pressure plate.
この結果、本発明における加圧ホルダー付き電池においては、上記の電池を繰り返して充放電させた場合に、この電池が変形するのが抑制され、電池容量や高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が低下するのが防止される。特に、電池容量を高めると共に高率放電特性を向上させるために、セパレータを介して積層させるシート状の正極とシート状の負極との数を多くすると共に、上記の電池に非水電解質二次電池を用いた場合においても、上記のように充放電によって電池が変形するのが十分に抑制され、電池容量が低下するのが有効に防止されると共に、高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が大きく向上されるようになる。 As a result, in the battery with a pressure holder in the present invention, when the above battery is repeatedly charged and discharged, the deformation of the battery is suppressed, and the battery capacity, high rate discharge characteristics, and charge / discharge cycle characteristics are reduced. It is prevented from lowering. In particular, in order to increase battery capacity and improve high-rate discharge characteristics, the number of sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes that are laminated via a separator is increased, and the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is added to the above battery. In the case of using the battery, it is sufficiently suppressed that the battery is deformed by charging / discharging as described above, and it is effectively prevented that the battery capacity is reduced, and the high rate discharge characteristic and the charge / discharge cycle characteristic are large. To be improved.

そして、上記の実施例１〜４及び比較例１の各加圧ホルダー付き電池において、それぞれ上記の非水電解質二次電池と加圧板との間に、圧力によって変色する感圧紙を挟み込み、上記の締結用ボルトの締め付け圧力をそれぞれ２０ｋｇｆ・ｃｍにして、非水電解質二次電池に加わる圧力状態を調べた。 In each of the batteries with pressure holders of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1, pressure-sensitive paper that changes color due to pressure is sandwiched between the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery and the pressure plate. The fastening pressure of the fastening bolts was set to 20 kgf · cm, and the pressure state applied to the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery was examined.
そして、上記の実施例１の加圧ホルダー付き電池における感圧紙の変色状態を図８に、比較例１の加圧ホルダー付き電池における感圧紙の変色状態を図９に示した。なお、上記の実施例２〜４の各加圧ホルダー付き電池においても、感圧紙の変色状態は上記の実施例１のものとほぼ同様であった。また、上記の図８及び図９において、周辺部分で特に変色が大きい四角形状の部分は、前記のように電極体を作製するのに使用した絶縁テープの部分であった。 FIG. 8 shows the color change state of the pressure sensitive paper in the battery with the pressure holder of Example 1 and FIG. 9 shows the color change state of the pressure sensitive paper in the battery with the pressure holder of Comparative Example 1. In each of the batteries with pressure holders of Examples 2 to 4, the discoloration state of the pressure sensitive paper was almost the same as that of Example 1 above. Further, in FIGS. 8 and 9, the rectangular portion having a particularly large discoloration in the peripheral portion is the portion of the insulating tape used for producing the electrode body as described above.
この結果、実施例１〜４の各加圧ホルダー付き電池においては、非水電解質二次電池と加圧板との間に挟み込んだ感圧紙全体がほぼ均一に変色しており、圧力が非水電解質二次電池全体に均一に作用していることが分かった。これに対して、比較例１の加圧ホルダー付き電池においては、感圧紙の周辺部分だけが変色して中央部分は殆ど変色しておらず、圧力が非水電解質二次電池の周辺部にだけ強く作用して、中央部における圧力が非常に弱くなっていることが分かった。 As a result, in each battery with a pressure holder in Examples 1 to 4, the entire pressure-sensitive paper sandwiched between the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery and the pressure plate is almost uniformly discolored, and the pressure is non-aqueous electrolyte. It turned out that it acts uniformly on the whole secondary battery. On the other hand, in the battery with the pressure holder of Comparative Example 1, only the peripheral portion of the pressure sensitive paper is discolored and the central portion is hardly discolored, and the pressure is applied only to the peripheral portion of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery. It acted strongly and it turned out that the pressure in a center part becomes very weak.
そして、このように実施例１〜４の各加圧ホルダー付き電池においては、非水電解質二次電池全体が均一に加圧される結果、この非水電解質二次電池を繰り返して充放電させた場合においても、電池が変形するのが抑制されて、電池容量や高率放電特性や充放電サイクル特性が低下するのが有効に防止されることが分かった。 And in each battery with a pressure holder of Examples 1-4 in this way, as a result of the whole nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery being uniformly pressurized, this nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery was repeatedly charged and discharged. Even in the case, it was found that the battery is suppressed from being deformed, and the battery capacity, the high rate discharge characteristic and the charge / discharge cycle characteristic are effectively prevented from being deteriorated.
なお、上記の実施例及び比較例においては、上記のようにして作製した非水電解質二次電池を用いるようにしたが、その正極や負極に用いる活物質の種類などを変更させることは当然可能であり、また非水電解質二次電池以外の他の二次電池等を用いることも可能である。 In the above examples and comparative examples, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery produced as described above was used, but it is naturally possible to change the type of active material used for the positive electrode and the negative electrode. It is also possible to use a secondary battery other than the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.
