2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a paste-like active material has been added to a porous metal body having a high porosity of 90% or more and a three-dimensional network structure in order to reduce the cost and increase the energy density of an electrode. A method for producing an electrode that fills in has been put to practical use.
This kind of porous metal material serving as an electrode substrate has high mechanical strength due to high porosity and cannot be directly used as a lead terminal. For this reason, a separately prepared metal piece must be welded to the electrode to form a lead terminal. However, the active material having poor conductivity with which the electrode is filled becomes an obstacle, and the metal piece cannot be directly welded. Therefore, a step of removing a predetermined portion of the active material and exposing the porous metal body is required before welding the metal pieces.

Conventionally, this type of active material removal technology includes:
JP-A-63-40253 and JP-A-2-1865
As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-57, there is one in which an electrode after filling with an active material is removed by applying ultrasonic vibration in a vertical direction. More specifically, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-40253 discloses that a metal fiber sintered body, which is a kind of a three-dimensional mesh-like metal porous body, is used as an electrode substrate, filled with an active material, and then superposed in a direction perpendicular to a pressed electrode. A method of removing the object by applying sonic vibration is exemplified. However, it takes 1-2 seconds for the ultrasonic vibration time, it is necessary to move the horn or the work during the vibration, and the electrode substrate is limited to the nickel fiber sintered body,
This method cannot be applied to a felt-like nickel-plated porous body or a sponge-like nickel porous body. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-186557 discloses a sponge having a tensile breaking strength of 3 kg / cm or more in order to cover the damage to the electrode substrate caused when the active material is removed, and an average pore diameter of 200 μm or more in order to facilitate the removal of the active material. A method of filling a porous nickel electrode body with an active material, removing the active material in a predetermined portion by ultrasonic vibration, and then welding a current collecting tab to the predetermined portion is exemplified. However, a sponge-like nickel porous body is made by plating nickel on a sponge-like plastic, but since the lower limit of the average pore diameter is determined,
To increase the tensile breaking strength, it is usually necessary to increase the plating thickness. Therefore, there is a problem that the nickel porous body becomes expensive. In addition, since the plating thickness increases and the fiber diameter increases, there has been a problem that short-circuit failure easily occurs when used in a cylindrical battery.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, since the electrode contact surface of the ultrasonic horn is smooth, when ultrasonic vibration is applied in the vertical direction, the active material is removed smoothly with a compacting action. In order to remove the active material without fail, it is necessary to apply long-time vibration or strong vibration that causes damage to the electrode substrate. Therefore, it was necessary to increase the strength of the electrode substrate as described above.

[Operation] The following two requirements are necessary for efficient removal of active materials. That is, the bond between the active material and the porous metal is broken. To promptly release the active material powder generated by the bond breaking out of the electrode.
In particular, when the active material is removed after the electrode is pressurized to increase the packing density of the active material, it is useful to satisfy the requirement. Since the present invention has irregularities on the surface of the ultrasonic horn which is in contact with the electrode, when the horn is brought into contact with the electrode with ultrasonic vibration, the active material breaks down at the convex portion at the tip, and easily becomes powder. Can satisfy the requirements of. In addition, since the generated powder is easily released from the concave portion of the horn to the outside of the electrode, it is effective to satisfy the requirement.

This is a c-void electrode. A predetermined terminal mounting portion of the electrode 1 is installed in a predetermined portion of the anvil 3 having a large number of through holes 5 having a diameter of 1 mm, and a pressing plate 4 is provided around the predetermined portion so that active material other than the predetermined portion is not lost. Was strongly pressed by the projections 6 provided on the substrate. And a frequency of 20 kHz and an amplitude of 7
Horn 2 oscillating ultrasonically in a direction perpendicular to electrode 1 at 5 μm
Was lowered until the gap with the anvil 3 reached 0.1 to 0.2 mm. The horn has a pitch of 0.8 mm and a depth of 0.1 mm as shown in FIG. 3 or 4 on the surface in contact with the active material.
The one provided with the unevenness of 4 mm was used. If the pitch and depth of the unevenness are too small, the effect of the unevenness will not be obtained. Conversely, if the pitch and the depth are too large, the contact surface with the electrode will be reduced and the propagation of ultrasonic vibration will be insufficient, which will hinder the removal of the active material. You. results of the experiment,
The dimensions before and after this example were appropriate. Also, about 300
The active material powder pulverized by the ultrasonic vibration during the ultrasonic vibration of ms was removed by suction from the outlet 7 through the through hole 5 provided in the anvil 3. In the terminal mounting portion of the electrode thus obtained, the metal porous body serving as the electrode substrate was hardly damaged, the active material in a predetermined portion was surely removed, and the weldability of the terminal was extremely good. As for the electrode before pressurization, the same effect was confirmed as a result of removing the active material using the same horn as in this example.
