Description

本発明は、組電池を構成する個々のバッテリセルの端子及び接続板が外部導電体を介して短絡しないように端子面に絶縁紙を貼り付けた組電池に関する。   The present invention relates to an assembled battery in which insulating paper is attached to a terminal surface so that terminals and connection plates of individual battery cells constituting the assembled battery are not short-circuited via an external conductor.

二次電池バッテリセルを直列につないだ組電池は、電動式自転車、ハイブリッド車をはじめとして、さまざまな用途に広く利用されている。そして近年では、バッテリの高容量化、高密度化が急速に進んでいる。
従来の中型または大型の組電池は、バッテリセルを個々に収容する個室を持ったケースを利用していた。このようなケースを利用すると、バッテリセルの数が多くなるものでは、ケースの重量が加わり組電池が重くなること、また、ケース自体の製作コストが高いことなどの欠点があり、これに代わる組電池として、図9に示すようなコンパクト化および軽量化を図った組電池がある。
A battery pack in which secondary battery cells are connected in series is widely used in various applications including electric bicycles and hybrid vehicles. In recent years, battery capacity and density have been rapidly increasing.
Conventional medium- or large-sized assembled batteries use cases having individual chambers that individually accommodate battery cells. When such a case is used, when the number of battery cells is large, the weight of the case is added and the assembled battery becomes heavy, and the case itself is expensive to manufacture. As a battery, there is an assembled battery which is compact and lightweight as shown in FIG.

図9において、参照番号BCは、組電池を構成する個々のバッテリセルを示している。この組電池では、一つ一つのバッテリセルBCを番号で区別すると、バッテリセルBCは1番から11番の順で直列に接続されている。   In FIG. 9, reference numeral BC indicates individual battery cells constituting the assembled battery. In this assembled battery, when each battery cell BC is identified by a number, the battery cells BC are connected in series in the order of No. 1 to No. 11.

バッテリセルBCは、直列の接続順でいえば、偶数番号の列と、奇数番号の列の2列に配列され、奇数番号の列のバッテリセルBCと、偶数番号の列のバッテリセルBCとでは、極性が上下逆さになっている。図9では、2番と3番、4番と5番、6番と7番、8番と9番、10番と11番とが接続端子板12を用いて接続されているのが示されているが、図9に表れない方の側では1番と2番、3番と4番、5番と6番、7番と8番、9番と10番が同じような接続端子板を用いて接続されている。そして、1番のバッテリセルBCには正極の端子板14aが取り付けられ、11番のバッテリセルBCには負極の端子板14bが取り付けられている。   The battery cells BC are arranged in two columns, an even-numbered column and an odd-numbered column, in the order of connection in series. The polarity is upside down. FIG. 9 shows that the second and third, the fourth and the fifth, the sixth and the seventh, the eighth and the ninth, the tenth and the eleventh are connected using the connection terminal plate 12. However, on the side that does not appear in FIG. 9, connect terminal boards with the same numbers 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, and 9 and 10. Connected. A positive terminal plate 14a is attached to the first battery cell BC, and a negative terminal plate 14b is attached to the eleventh battery cell BC.

このような組電池では、バッテリセルBC同士が短絡しないように外部と絶縁する必要があり、図11に示すような絶縁紙16を端子面に貼り付けている。この絶縁紙16を図9のバッテリセルBCの端子面に貼り付けると、図10のようになる。   In such a battery pack, it is necessary to insulate the battery cells BC from the outside so as not to short-circuit each other, and insulating paper 16 as shown in FIG. 11 is attached to the terminal surface. When this insulating paper 16 is affixed to the terminal surface of the battery cell BC of FIG. 9, it becomes as shown in FIG.

しかしながら、この種の簡易型の組電池では、軽量、安価という利点がある反面、バッテリセルBCが破損等したり、寿命末や異常時の圧力上昇もあるため、電解液が漏れ出した場合に、絶縁紙にしみこんだ電解液を介した短絡により絶縁紙16に電流が流れ、そのジュール熱により発煙、発火に至ることがある。   However, this type of simple assembled battery has the advantages of light weight and low cost, but on the other hand, the battery cell BC may be damaged or the pressure may increase at the end of its life or abnormal conditions. A current flows through the insulating paper 16 due to a short circuit through the electrolytic solution soaked in the insulating paper, and the Joule heat may cause smoke and fire.

そこで、本発明の目的は、前記従来技術の有する問題点を解消し、万一バッテリセルから電解液が漏れ出すような事態になっても、絶縁紙に2セル以上の電圧が印加されないようにして、発煙、発火を防止し安全性を高めることができるようにした組電池を提供することにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the problems of the prior art and prevent a voltage of two or more cells from being applied to the insulating paper even if the electrolyte leaks from the battery cell. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide an assembled battery that can prevent smoke and fire and improve safety.

前記の目的を達成するために、請求項1に係る発明は、複数のバッテリセルを接続してなる組電池において、一枚の接続板で接続される複数のバッテリセル単位で、その端子面を絶縁する絶縁紙を貼付し、各絶縁紙は互いに分離独立していることを特徴とするものである。   In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is an assembled battery in which a plurality of battery cells are connected, and the terminal surface of each battery cell unit connected by a single connecting plate is provided. Insulating paper is affixed, and each insulating paper is separated and independent from each other.

この発明では、例として絶縁紙には、隣り合う2つのバッテリセルの端面輪郭形状に対応するめがね形の絶縁紙や、隣合う2つのバッテリセルの端子面全体をカバーする俵形の絶縁紙を用いることができる。   In the present invention, for example, as the insulating paper, a glass-shaped insulating paper corresponding to the end face contour shape of two adjacent battery cells or a hook-shaped insulating paper covering the entire terminal surfaces of two adjacent battery cells is used. Can be used.

さらに、請求項4に係る発明は、複数のバッテリセルを接続してなる組電池において、バッテリセルが集合した組電池の端子面側を絶縁紙で全体を絶縁し、抵抗の大きな迂回電流経路を形成する複数のスリットを該絶縁紙に形成したことを特徴とするものである。   Furthermore, the invention according to claim 4 is an assembled battery in which a plurality of battery cells are connected, and the terminal surface side of the assembled battery in which the battery cells are assembled is insulated with insulating paper as a whole, and a bypass current path having a large resistance is provided. A plurality of slits to be formed are formed in the insulating paper.

この発明では、前記絶縁紙には、前記スリットが隣り合うバッテリセルを接続する接続板同士の間に沿って延び、2以上のバッテリセルが短絡した場合に電流の流れる領域を分断するように該スリットを配列していることが好ましい。   In this invention, the insulating paper has the slit extending along between the connection plates connecting adjacent battery cells so that the current flowing region is divided when two or more battery cells are short-circuited. It is preferable to arrange the slits.

本発明によれば、バッテリセルから電解液が漏れ出しても、絶縁紙には大きな電流が流れないので、絶縁紙の発煙、発火を確実に防止でき、組電池の安全性を高めることができる。   According to the present invention, even if the electrolyte leaks from the battery cell, a large current does not flow through the insulating paper. Therefore, smoke and fire of the insulating paper can be reliably prevented, and the safety of the assembled battery can be improved. .

以下、本発明によるバッテリセルの絶縁方法および組電池用絶縁紙の一実施形態について、添付の図面を参照しながら説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of a battery cell insulation method and a battery pack insulation paper according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

第1実施形態
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態による組電池に用いられる絶縁紙を示している。この第1実施形態では、組電池の絶縁紙として、一枚の接続板を介して隣合う2つのバッテリセルを単位に貼り付けるものを用いている。そして図1では、バッテリセルの配列の違いに応じて形状の異なる二種類の絶縁紙20、21を例示している。このうち、絶縁紙20は、図9に示したセル配列の組電池に使用され、絶縁紙21は、図4に示すようなセル配列の組電池に使用されるものである。
First Embodiment FIG. 1 shows insulating paper used for an assembled battery according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, as the insulating paper of the assembled battery, a sheet in which two adjacent battery cells are bonded to each other via a single connection plate is used. In FIG. 1, two types of insulating papers 20 and 21 having different shapes according to the difference in the arrangement of the battery cells are illustrated. Among these, the insulating paper 20 is used for the assembled battery of the cell arrangement shown in FIG. 9, and the insulating paper 21 is used for the assembled battery of the cell arrangement shown in FIG.

そこで、絶縁紙20を用いる組電池について説明する。
図9に示す組電池のセル配列では、2番と3番、4番と5番、6番と7番、8番と9番、10番と11番とが接続板12を用いて接続されているので、図2に示すように、接続板12を介して隣り合うバッテリセルBCを単位にして絶縁紙20を貼り付けている。また、図9には表れない方の端子側では、1番と2番、3番と4番、5番と6番、7番と8番、9番と10番が同じような接続板を用いて接続されていて、同じようにこれらの隣り合うバッテリセルBCを単位に絶縁紙20が貼り付けられている。
Therefore, an assembled battery using the insulating paper 20 will be described.
In the battery array of the assembled battery shown in FIG. 9, No. 2 and No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9, No. 10 and No. 11 are connected using the connection plate 12. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the insulating paper 20 is pasted in units of adjacent battery cells BC via the connection plate 12. In addition, on the terminal side that is not shown in FIG. 9, connection plates similar to those of No. 1 and No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8, and No. 9 and No. 10 Insulating paper 20 is affixed in units of these adjacent battery cells BC.

このようなバッテリセルBCの配列では、たとえば、1番のバッテリセルBCは、2番と3番のバッテリセルBCの間の谷に接し、3番のバッテリセルBCは、4番と5番のバッテリセルBCの谷に接するというように、一つのバッテリセルBCは、必ず、隣り合うセルとセルの谷間に接するようになっている。   In such an arrangement of battery cells BC, for example, the first battery cell BC is in contact with the valley between the second and third battery cells BC, and the third battery cell BC is the fourth and fifth battery cells. One battery cell BC is always in contact with an adjacent cell and a valley between the cells, such as being in contact with a valley of the battery cell BC.

そこで、絶縁紙20は、バッテリセルBCの配列の特徴に合わせて、めがね形の形状をもつ絶縁紙である。絶縁紙の素材そのものは、この種の組電池に利用される周知のものである。そして、図2に示すように、絶縁紙20は、隣合う2つのバッテリセルBCの端面輪郭形状にちょうど対応しており、これにより、絶縁紙20は互いに分離独立している。   Therefore, the insulating paper 20 is an insulating paper having a spectacle-shaped shape in accordance with the arrangement characteristics of the battery cells BC. The material of the insulating paper itself is a well-known material used for this type of assembled battery. As shown in FIG. 2, the insulating paper 20 just corresponds to the end surface contour shape of the two adjacent battery cells BC, whereby the insulating paper 20 is separated and independent from each other.

次に、絶縁紙21を用いる組電池について説明する。     Next, an assembled battery using the insulating paper 21 will be described.

絶縁紙21は、図4に示すようにセル配列をもつ組電池に使用される。この組電池では、番号の順に直列に接続されている。このセル配列では、幅方向に隣り合うセル同士で極性が逆になっているとともに、長さ方向に隣り合うセル同士の極性も逆になっている。接続板は、幅方向に隣合うセル同士を接続している。この図4では、表れていない側も同じように接続板12によって接続されている。   The insulating paper 21 is used for a battery pack having a cell array as shown in FIG. In this assembled battery, they are connected in series in the order of numbers. In this cell arrangement, the polarities of cells adjacent in the width direction are reversed, and the polarities of cells adjacent in the length direction are also reversed. The connection plate connects cells adjacent in the width direction. In FIG. 4, the side that does not appear is similarly connected by the connection plate 12.

絶縁紙21は、ちょうど俵形の形状をもつ絶縁紙である。図4のセル配列の場合、絶縁紙の幅はバッテリセルの直径とほぼ同じにするとともに、両端部はバッテリセルの断面形状と同じ曲率の半円になっている。これにより、図4に示すように、絶縁紙21は、接続板12を介して隣り合っているバッテリセルの端子面全体をカバーできるとともに、各絶縁紙21は互いに分離独立している。   The insulating paper 21 is an insulating paper having exactly a bowl shape. In the case of the cell arrangement of FIG. 4, the width of the insulating paper is substantially the same as the diameter of the battery cell, and both ends are semicircles having the same curvature as the cross-sectional shape of the battery cell. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the insulating paper 21 can cover the entire terminal surfaces of the adjacent battery cells via the connection plate 12, and the insulating papers 21 are separated and independent from each other.

次に、以上のような第1実施形態の組電池の作用効果について説明する。
図2において、なんらかの原因で、例えば、3番、5番のバッテリセルBCが破損して電解液が漏れて、図3に示すように、漏れ出た電解液が絶縁紙20a、20bの斜線で示す範囲に浸透したものとする。電解液の浸透によって絶縁紙20a、20bの絶縁性能が低下し、絶縁紙20a、20bには電圧が印加されると電流が流れるようになる。
Next, the effect of the assembled battery of the first embodiment as described above will be described.
In FIG. 2, for some reason, for example, the third and fifth battery cells BC are damaged and the electrolyte leaks. As shown in FIG. 3, the leaked electrolyte is indicated by diagonal lines on the insulating papers 20a and 20b. It shall penetrate into the indicated range. The insulation performance of the insulating papers 20a and 20b deteriorates due to the permeation of the electrolyte, and a current flows when a voltage is applied to the insulating papers 20a and 20b.

しかしながら、図2の実施形態のように、接続板12を介して接続されたバッテリセルBC同士を単位にして絶縁紙20を貼り付けている組電池では、電解液の浸透した絶縁紙20a、20bは、2番と3番、あるいは4番と5番のバッテリセルBCを短絡させているわけではない。また、それぞれの絶縁紙20a、20bは分離独立しているので、接触し合うことはなく、例えば、3番と4番のバッテリセルBCが短絡することはない。したがって、一枚続きの絶縁紙のように、電解液の浸透により2個以上のバッテリセルBCの電圧がかかることがないので、発煙、発火を確実に防止することができる。   However, in the assembled battery in which the insulating paper 20 is pasted in units of battery cells BC connected via the connection plate 12 as in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the insulating paper 20a, 20b infiltrated with the electrolytic solution is used. Does not short circuit the battery cells BC of No. 2 and No. 3, or No. 4 and No. 5. Further, since the insulating papers 20a and 20b are separated and independent, they do not come into contact with each other, and for example, the third and fourth battery cells BC are not short-circuited. Therefore, unlike the continuous sheet of insulating paper, the voltage of two or more battery cells BC is not applied by the permeation of the electrolytic solution, so that smoke and fire can be reliably prevented.

以上のめがね形の絶縁紙20を用いた組電池の作用効果は、図5の俵形の絶縁紙21を用いた組電池についてもまったく同様である。   The operational effects of the assembled battery using the above-described glasses-shaped insulating paper 20 are exactly the same as those of the assembled battery using the bowl-shaped insulating paper 21 of FIG.

第2実施形態
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態による組電池について、図6、図7を参照しながら説明する。
Second embodiment
Next, an assembled battery according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

図6は、第2実施形態による組電池に用いる絶縁紙30を示し、図7は、絶縁紙30を貼り付けた完成品の組電池を示す。
この第2実施形態は、隣合うセル単位で絶縁した第1実施形態と異なり、一枚の絶縁紙30を使って全セルを絶縁するようにした組電池であり、図9のセル配列をもつ電池に適用した例である。
FIG. 6 shows the insulating paper 30 used for the assembled battery according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 7 shows the finished assembled battery with the insulating paper 30 attached thereto.
Unlike the first embodiment in which insulation is performed in units of adjacent cells, the second embodiment is a battery pack in which all cells are insulated using a single sheet of insulating paper 30 and has the cell arrangement of FIG. This is an example applied to a battery.

この絶縁紙30では、抵抗を高めた迂回電流経路を形成するために、複数のスリット32a乃至32eが形成されている。図6と図9を対照するとわかるように、スリット32a乃至32eの位置は、バッテリセルBCの配列に対応しており、図8に示すように、2番と3番、4番と5番、6番と7番、8番と9番、10番と11番とが接続板12を用いて接続されているとすると、それぞれスリット32a乃至32eは、それぞれ接続板同士の間を延びるように形成されている。   In this insulating paper 30, a plurality of slits 32a to 32e are formed in order to form a bypass current path with increased resistance. As can be seen by comparing FIGS. 6 and 9, the positions of the slits 32a to 32e correspond to the arrangement of the battery cells BC, and as shown in FIG. 8, the numbers 2 and 3, 4, and 5, If No. 6 and No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9, and No. 10 and No. 11 are connected using the connection plate 12, the slits 32a to 32e are formed so as to extend between the connection plates, respectively. Has been.

また、図7には表れない方の端子側では、1番と2番、3番と4番、5番と6番、7番と8番、9番と10番が同じような接続板を用いて接続されているので、同じようにスリットが接続板同士の間を延びるように形成されている。   In addition, on the terminal side that is not shown in FIG. 7, connection plates similar to those of No. 1 and No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8, and No. 9 and No. 10 are used. Since it is connected using, the slit is similarly formed so that it may extend between connection plates.

次に、以上のように構成される第2実施形態の作用効果について説明する。バッテリセルから電解液が漏れて、図8に示すように、漏れ出た電解液が絶縁紙30の斜線で示す範囲を浸透したものとする。   Next, the effect of 2nd Embodiment comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. It is assumed that the electrolyte solution leaks from the battery cell and the leaked electrolyte solution penetrates the range indicated by the oblique lines of the insulating paper 30 as shown in FIG.

電解液の浸透によって絶縁性能は低下し、絶縁紙30には電流が流れるようになり、図8の場合であれば、少なくとも3番と4番のバッテリセルが短絡回路を形成して絶縁紙30にはバッテリセル2個分の電圧がかかることになる。   Insulation performance deteriorates due to permeation of the electrolyte, and current flows through the insulating paper 30. In the case of FIG. 8, at least the third and fourth battery cells form a short circuit to form the insulating paper 30. Therefore, a voltage corresponding to two battery cells is applied.

ところが、絶縁紙30には、電流の流れる領域を分断するようにスリット32bが延びているため、電流はスリット32bを迂回して矢印のように流れる。そして、スリット32bの終端付近の抵抗の大きな狭隘部分を流れるので、抵抗の増した分だけ電流値は小さくなり、発生するジュール熱を減少させることができる。これによって、バッテリセル2個以上分の電圧がかかっても、抵抗を大きくした迂回電流経路に電流を流すようにすることにより、電流値を小さくすることで発煙、発火に至らない程度にジュール熱を抑えることが可能となる。   However, since the slit 32b extends in the insulating paper 30 so as to divide the current flowing region, the current flows around the slit 32b as indicated by an arrow. Then, since it flows through a narrow portion having a large resistance near the end of the slit 32b, the current value is reduced by the amount of the increased resistance, and the generated Joule heat can be reduced. As a result, even when a voltage of two or more battery cells is applied, the current is made to flow through a detour current path with increased resistance, so that the current value is reduced, so that Joule heat does not lead to smoke or ignition. Can be suppressed.
