Description

本願発明は、筐体内に発電要素や電解液などの蓄電・放電手段が収容される蓄電素子に関し、特に前記発電要素と集電体とが複数箇所で接続される蓄電素子に関する。   The present invention relates to a power storage element in which power storage / discharge means such as a power generation element and an electrolytic solution are housed in a housing, and more particularly to a power storage element in which the power generation element and a current collector are connected at a plurality of locations.

近年、ハイブリッド自動車や電気自動車、アシスト自転車のように、駆動源や駆動源の一部として電力を用いる走行車が注目されており、このような走行車の電源として高いエネルギー容量の蓄電素子(例えば二次電池)が実用化されている。また、太陽光発電などにより発生した電力を蓄えておく蓄電素子も実用化されている。例えば、リチウムイオン電池などが前記高いエネルギー容量の蓄電素子として挙示することができる。   In recent years, a traveling vehicle using electric power as a driving source or a part of the driving source, such as a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, and an assist bicycle, has attracted attention. As a power source of such a traveling vehicle, a storage element having a high energy capacity (for example, Secondary battery) has been put into practical use. In addition, power storage elements that store electric power generated by solar power generation and the like have been put into practical use. For example, a lithium ion battery or the like can be listed as the high energy capacity storage element.

このような蓄電素子の内部構造としては、例えば特許文献1に記載されているように、金属などからなる剛性の高い筐体に電力を供給したり蓄えたりするための電極端子が絶縁状態で取り付けられ、前記電極端子に接続され、前記筐体の内壁と接触しないように内壁に沿って配置される集電体と、二つの集電体の間を架橋状態で発電要素が配置される構造が採用されている。   As an internal structure of such a power storage element, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, electrode terminals for supplying and storing power to a rigid housing made of metal or the like are attached in an insulated state. A current collector connected to the electrode terminal and arranged along the inner wall so as not to contact the inner wall of the housing, and a structure in which the power generation element is arranged in a bridged state between the two current collectors It has been adopted.

また、集電体は帯状の二つの接続部を垂下状に備えると共に、発電要素は、上下方向に延びて配置される二つの接続部を備えており、集電体の二つの接続部が外側に、発電要素の二つの接続部が内側になるように配置した後、集電体の接続部と発電要素の接続部とを超音波溶接により接続している。   The current collector includes two strip-shaped connection portions in a hanging shape, and the power generation element includes two connection portions arranged to extend in the vertical direction, and the two connection portions of the current collector are outside. In addition, after arranging the two connecting portions of the power generating element to be inside, the connecting portion of the current collector and the connecting portion of the power generating element are connected by ultrasonic welding.

この場合、発電要素側の接続部は、薄い金属箔であるので、超音波振動するチップを発電要素側に配置すると、集電体の薄い金属箔部分が破損する場合がある。従って、チップを集電体の接続部に当接させることが必要となるため、従来は、二つの接続箇所の内、一方を接続した後、発電要素を機械的にひっくり返して他方の接続箇所の溶接を行う必要がある。   In this case, since the connection portion on the power generation element side is a thin metal foil, if a chip that vibrates ultrasonically is disposed on the power generation element side, the thin metal foil portion of the current collector may be damaged. Therefore, since it is necessary to bring the chip into contact with the connection portion of the current collector, conventionally, after connecting one of the two connection points, the power generating element is mechanically turned over to turn the other connection point. It is necessary to perform welding.

また、レーザー溶接やスポット溶接などで集電体の接続部と発電要素の接続部とを接続する場合も、発電要素をひっくり返す場合がある。   In addition, when the connecting portion of the current collector and the connecting portion of the power generation element are connected by laser welding or spot welding, the power generation element may be turned over.

ところが、集電体と溶接された発電要素を機械的に反転することは、複雑な機構を用い、さらに、長時間を要することから、このようなタイプの蓄電素子の生産効率を向上させることは甚だ困難であった。   However, mechanically reversing the power generating element welded to the current collector uses a complicated mechanism and further requires a long time, so that it is not possible to improve the production efficiency of this type of power storage element. It was very difficult.

本願発明は上記課題に鑑みなされたものであり、集電体と発電要素との接続工程の簡易化、短縮化を図ることができる、蓄電素子、および、蓄電素子の製造方法の提供を目的としている。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a power storage element and a method for manufacturing the power storage element that can simplify and shorten the connection process between the current collector and the power generation element. Yes.

上記目的を達成するために、本願発明にかかる蓄電素子は、負極、および、正極のいずれか一方である膜状の第一極体と、他方である膜状の第二極体と膜状のセパレータとが第一方向に層状に配置されてなる発電要素と、前記第一極体と電気的に接続される第一集電体とを備える蓄電素子であって、前記第一集電体は、前記第一方向と交差する方向に延在し前記第一方向に並んで配置される第一接続部と第二接続部とを備え、前記第一極体は、 前記第一接続部と前記第二接続部との間に配置され前記第一接続部と接続される第三接続部と、前記第一接続部と前記第二接続部との外側に配置され前記第二接続部と接続される第四接続部とを備えることを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, a power storage device according to the present invention includes a film-like first polar body that is one of a negative electrode and a positive electrode, and a film-like second polar body that is the other and a film-like one. A power storage element comprising a power generation element in which separators are arranged in layers in a first direction and a first current collector electrically connected to the first electrode body, wherein the first current collector is And a first connection part and a second connection part that extend in a direction crossing the first direction and are arranged side by side in the first direction, and the first polar body includes the first connection part and the first connection part. A third connecting part arranged between the second connecting part and connected to the first connecting part; and arranged outside the first connecting part and the second connecting part and connected to the second connecting part. And a fourth connecting portion.

これによれば、第一接続部と第三接続部とを溶接により接続した後、発電要素を反転させること無く第二接続部と第三接続部とを接続することができる。   According to this, after connecting a 1st connection part and a 3rd connection part by welding, a 2nd connection part and a 3rd connection part can be connected, without inverting an electric power generation element.

従って、第一接続部と第三接続部とを接続した後、第一接続部と第二接続部の間隔分発電要素などと接続機を相対的に移動させるだけでよく、回転を伴うことなく次のセッティングを完了することができる。従って、接続工程を簡易化、短縮化することができ、蓄電素子の生産効率を向上させることが可能となる。   Therefore, after connecting the first connection part and the third connection part, it is only necessary to relatively move the power generation element and the connection machine by the distance between the first connection part and the second connection part, without rotation. You can complete the following settings: Accordingly, the connection process can be simplified and shortened, and the production efficiency of the storage element can be improved.

なお、明細書、および、特許請求の範囲に記載される「蓄電素子」の語は、電気化学的に電気を蓄電し、また、必要に応じて電気を放電することのできる素子であり、より具体的には、蓄電池、キャパシタ、大容量キャパシタ、コンデンサ、電解コンデンサ、電気二重層コンデンサ等を含むものとして記載している。   In addition, the term “storage element” described in the specification and claims is an element capable of electrochemically storing electricity and discharging electricity as required. Specifically, it is described as including a storage battery, a capacitor, a large capacity capacitor, a capacitor, an electrolytic capacitor, an electric double layer capacitor, and the like.

また、前記第一集電体は、前記第二接続部が突出状態で設けられる基部と、前記基部と前記第二接続部の接続部分において第二接続部の面が前記第一方向と沿う位置から前記第四接続部と接触可能な位置までねじられたねじれ部とを備えてもよい。   The first current collector includes a base portion in which the second connection portion is provided in a protruding state, and a position of a surface of the second connection portion along the first direction in a connection portion between the base portion and the second connection portion. To a position where the fourth connecting portion can come into contact with the fourth connecting portion.

これによれば、例えば巻回式の発電要素などのように第三接続部と第四接続部とがつながっているような場合であっても、ねじれ部を用いて当該つながっている部分を跨いで、第三接続部と第四接続部との間に第二接続部を配置することが可能となる。   According to this, even if it is a case where the third connection part and the fourth connection part are connected as in the case of, for example, a winding type power generation element, the twisted part is used to straddle the connected part. Thus, the second connection portion can be disposed between the third connection portion and the fourth connection portion.

さらに、前記第二極体と電気的に接続される第二集電体を備え、前記第二集電体は、前記第一方向と交差する方向に延在し前記第一方向に並んで配置される第五接続部と第六接続部とを備え、前記第二極体は、前記第五接続部と前記第六接続部との間に配置され前記第五接続部と接続される第七接続部と、前記第五接続部と前記第六接続部との外側に配置され前記第六接続部と接続される第八接続部とを備え、前記第一接続部と前記第五接続部が前記第一方向において同じ側に配置されるものでもかまわない。   And a second current collector electrically connected to the second pole body, the second current collector extending in a direction intersecting the first direction and arranged side by side in the first direction. A fifth connecting portion and a sixth connecting portion, wherein the second polar body is disposed between the fifth connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion and is connected to the fifth connecting portion. A connecting portion; and an eighth connecting portion disposed outside the fifth connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion and connected to the sixth connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion and the fifth connecting portion are It may be arranged on the same side in the first direction.

これによれば、第一極体と第二極体とのそれぞれに第一集電体と第二集電体を接続する場合であっても、第一方向を回転軸として発電要素を回転させるだけで、全ての接続を完了させることができる。   According to this, even if it is a case where a 1st electrical power collector and a 2nd electrical power collector are connected to each of a 1st polar body and a 2nd polar body, a power generation element is rotated by making a 1st direction into a rotating shaft. Just complete all connections.

従って、接続工程を簡略化、高速化することができ、蓄電素子の生産効率を向上させることが可能となる。   Accordingly, the connection process can be simplified and speeded up, and the production efficiency of the storage element can be improved.

また、前記発電要素は、前記第一極体と前記第二極体と前記セパレータとを巻回して形成されるものであり、前記第三接続部は、前記第一方向において巻回軸から前記発電要素の一方の外側までの間に配置される前記第一極体の巻回軸方向の端部を前記第一方向の一方に片寄せて束ねられ、前記第四接続部は、前記第一方向において巻回軸から前記発電要素の他方の外側までの間に配置される前記第一極体の巻回軸方向の端部を前記第三接続部の偏り方向と同方向に片寄せて束ねられるものでもよい。   Further, the power generation element is formed by winding the first polar body, the second polar body, and the separator, and the third connection portion is formed from the winding shaft in the first direction. The end of the first polar body arranged between the outer sides of the power generation element is bundled by being shifted to one side in the first direction, and the fourth connecting portion is bundled with the first The ends of the first polar body arranged between the winding shaft and the other outer side of the power generation element in the direction are bundled together in the same direction as the deflection direction of the third connecting portion. It may be possible.

これによれば、例えば図5に示すように、第三接続部は複数枚の(実質的には連続した1枚)の第一極体を発電要素の外側に片寄せて束ねた場合、最も外側に配置される第一極体は、最も広い面積で第一接続部と接触する場合がある。また、最も内側に配置される第一極体は、発電要素の巻き厚さの分だけ第一接続部と間接的に接触する面積は減少する場合がある。つまり、接触面積は外側から内側に向かって減少する。   According to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the third connecting portion is bundled by bundling a plurality of (substantially continuous one) first polar bodies to the outside of the power generation element, The 1st polar body arrange | positioned on the outer side may contact a 1st connection part in the widest area. Moreover, the area where the 1st polar body arrange | positioned innermost indirectly contacts with a 1st connection part by the part | minute of the winding thickness of an electric power generation element may reduce. That is, the contact area decreases from the outside toward the inside.

一方、第四接続部は、最も内側に配置される第一極体の接触面積が最大となり、最も外側に配置される第一極体の接触面積が最小となる。そして、接触面積は外側から内側に向かって増加する。   On the other hand, in the fourth connection portion, the contact area of the first polar body arranged on the innermost side is maximized, and the contact area of the first polar body arranged on the outermost side is minimized. The contact area increases from the outside toward the inside.

ここで、発電要素は巻回式であるので、第三接続部の外側に配置される第一極体と、第四接続部の外側に配置される第一極体とは電気的な距離が短い。この関係は、内側同士でも同様である。従って、電気的な距離が短い隣り合った第三接続部の接触面積と第四接続部の接触面積との合計面積は、他の巻き位置の合計面積とほぼ等しくなる。   Here, since the power generation element is a winding type, the first polar body disposed outside the third connection portion and the first polar body disposed outside the fourth connection portion have an electrical distance. short. This relationship is the same between the insides. Accordingly, the total area of the contact areas of the adjacent third connection parts and the contact areas of the fourth connection parts that are short in electrical distance is substantially equal to the total area of the other winding positions.

以上のような状態になることにより、発電要素に蓄電される電気を効率よく第一集電体に流すことが可能となる。   By being in the state as described above, it is possible to efficiently flow the electricity stored in the power generation element to the first current collector.

さらに、発電要素の各接続部の長さを短くしても所望の集電効率を保つことができる。   Furthermore, the desired current collection efficiency can be maintained even if the length of each connecting portion of the power generating element is shortened.

従来のように第一極体の巻回軸方向の端部であり接続部を構成する集電箔を片寄せずに発電要素と集電体とを接続すると、発電要素の巻き始め及び巻き終わりの部分の集電効率を巻回の中央部分(集電箔の束の中央に相当)と近づけるためには、集電箔の束の中でも端に位置する集電箔を長くし、接続面積を稼ぐ必要がある。そのためには発電要素全体における接続部の長さを長くせざるを得ない。   When the power generating element and the current collector are connected without shifting the current collecting foil that is the end in the winding axis direction of the first polar body and that constitutes the connecting portion as in the past, the winding start and end of winding of the power generating element In order to bring the current collection efficiency of this part closer to the central part of the winding (corresponding to the center of the bundle of current collector foils), the current collector foil located at the end of the current bundle of current collector foils is lengthened and the connection area is increased. I need to earn. For that purpose, the length of the connection part in the whole electric power generation element must be lengthened.

本願の構造であれば、先述のように巻き位置による集電効率の差がないので、集電効率の平準化のために接続部(集電箔)を長くする必要は無い。   In the structure of the present application, there is no difference in the current collection efficiency depending on the winding position as described above, and therefore there is no need to lengthen the connecting portion (current collection foil) for leveling the current collection efficiency.

従って、電極体における接続部の面積の割合を減少させることができる。接続部は活物質が塗工されていない部分であるので、接続部の面積の割合が小さくなり、活物質塗工部の面積の割合が上がれば、発電要素の容量を向上させることが可能となる。   Therefore, the ratio of the area of the connection part in the electrode body can be reduced. Since the connection part is a part where the active material is not coated, if the area ratio of the connection part is reduced and the area ratio of the active material coating part is increased, the capacity of the power generation element can be improved. Become.

また、上記目的を達成するために、本願発明にかかる蓄電素子の製造方法は、負極、および、正極のいずれか一方である膜状の第一極体と、他方である膜状の第二極体と膜状のセパレータとが第一方向に層状に配置されてなる発電要素の前記第一極体と第一集電体とを電気的な導通可能に溶接する蓄電素子の製造方法であって、前記第一集電体は、前記第一方向と交差する方向に延在し前記第一方向に並んで配置される第一接続部と第二接続部とを備え、前記第一極体は、前記第一接続部と電気的に接続される第三接続部と前記第二接続部と電気的に接続される第四接続部とを備え、前記第一接続部と前記第二接続部との間に前記第三接続部が配置され、前記第一接続部と前記第二接続部との外側に前記第四接続部が配置されるように前記発電要素と前記第一集電体とを配置する第一配置ステップと、前記第一接続部、および、前記第三接続部を溶接する第一溶接ステップと、前記第二接続部、および、前記第四接続部を溶接する第二溶接ステップとを含むことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, a method for manufacturing a power storage device according to the present invention includes a film-shaped first electrode that is one of a negative electrode and a positive electrode, and a film-shaped second electrode that is the other. A power storage element manufacturing method for welding the first electrode body and the first current collector of a power generation element in which a body and a film-like separator are arranged in layers in a first direction so as to be electrically conductive The first current collector includes a first connection portion and a second connection portion that extend in a direction crossing the first direction and are arranged side by side in the first direction.

Can be completed. Therefore, the connection process by welding can be simplified and shortened, and the production efficiency of the electricity storage element can be improved.

そして、チップ201とアンビル202とを用い、第五接続部145、および、第七接続部117を挟み込んで超音波溶接する(第三溶接ステップ)。   And using the chip | tip 201 and the anvil 202, the 5th connection part 145 and the 7th connection part 117 are inserted | pinched, and it ultrasonically welds (3rd welding step).

次に、図10に示す状態となるように、チップ201およびアンビル202と発電要素101とを巻回軸(図中Y軸方向)方向に一端分離した後、第一方向(図中X軸方向)にチップ201およびアンビル202と発電要素101と相対的に移動させ、チップ201およびアンビル202と発電要素101とを巻回軸(図中Y軸方向)方向に近づけて、第六接続部146、および、第八接続部118をチップ201およびアンビル202で挟み込んで超音波溶接する(第四溶接ステップ)。   Next, the tip 201, the anvil 202, and the power generation element 101 are separated from each other in the direction of the winding axis (Y-axis direction in the figure) so that the state shown in FIG. ) To move the tip 201 and the anvil 202 relative to the power generation element 101, bring the tip 201 and the anvil 202 and the power generation element 101 closer to the winding axis (Y-axis direction in the drawing) direction, And the 8th connection part 118 is inserted | pinched between the chip | tip 201 and the anvil 202, and ultrasonic welding is carried out (4th welding step).

以上のように、チップ201およびアンビル202と発電要素101との相対的な移動は、溶接対象を第一極体111から第二極体112に変更する際のX軸を中心軸とした相対的な回動と、巻回軸方向(Y軸方向)と、第一方向(X軸方向)との2軸において直線的な動作のみで実現できるため、発電要素101の両極と集電体104との接続を簡易な機械構成の下、高速で実施することが可能となる。   As described above, relative movement between the tip 201 and the anvil 202 and the power generation element 101 is relative to the X axis when the welding target is changed from the first polar body 111 to the second polar body 112 as a central axis.

また、溶接は超音波溶接ばかりでなく、レーザー溶接やスポット溶接など発電要素101の接続部115側から溶接するのと、集電体104側から溶接するのでは、最適な溶接条件が異なる溶接で溶接しても良い。   Also, welding is not limited to ultrasonic welding, but welding from the side of the connecting portion 115 of the power generation element 101 such as laser welding or spot welding is different from welding from the current collector 104 side. It may be welded.
