Next, a specific manufacturing method will be described.
Regarding the negative electrode 175, 10 parts by weight of polyvinylidene fluoride (hereinafter referred to as PVDF) is added as a binder to 100 parts by weight of amorphous carbon powder as a negative electrode active material, and N as a dispersion solvent. -A negative electrode mixture in which methylpyrrolidone (hereinafter referred to as NMP) was added and kneaded was prepared. This negative electrode mixture was applied to both surfaces of a 10 μm thick copper foil (negative electrode metal foil 172) leaving the welded portion (negative electrode uncoated portion 172a). Then, the negative electrode 175 with a negative electrode active material application part thickness of 70 micrometers which does not contain copper foil was obtained through the drying, the press, and the cutting process.

In this embodiment, the case where amorphous carbon is used as the negative electrode active material is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. Natural graphite capable of inserting and removing lithium ions and various artificial graphite materials , Carbonaceous materials such as coke, compounds such as Si and Sn (for example, SiO, TiSi ₂ etc.), or composite materials thereof may be used. It is not limited.

Regarding the positive electrode 174, 10 parts by weight of flaky graphite as a conductive material and 10 parts by weight of PVDF as a binder are added to 100 parts by weight of lithium manganate (chemical formula LiMn ₂ O ₄ ) as a positive electrode active material. A positive electrode mixture was prepared by adding and kneading NMP as a dispersion solvent. This positive electrode mixture was applied and dried on both surfaces of a 20 μm thick aluminum foil (positive metal foil 171) leaving the welded portion (positive electrode uncoated portion 171a).

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, a part of the positive electrode uncoated portion 171a is partially left uncut to form a current collecting lead 200 having a predetermined interval, and further pressed, A positive electrode 174 having an electrode density of 3 g / cm ³ was produced.

  If the processing for forming the current collecting lead 200 is not performed on the positive electrode uncoated portion 171a, the positive electrode coated portion of the positive electrode active material mixture and the positive electrode uncoated portion 171a of the positive electrode metal foil 171 have a positive electrode after pressing. Since the amount of compression of the metal foil 171 is different, the coated portion having a higher compression rate is elongated and may be greatly curved in the width direction as it moves along the longitudinal direction. By forming the narrow current collecting lead 200 in advance, the portion where the difference in the compression amount of the positive electrode metal foil 171 is minimized, so that the bending is eased and the subsequent winding process does not cause a problem. Then, the positive electrode 174 of the positive electrode active material application part thickness 90micrometer which does not contain aluminum foil was obtained through the cutting process which makes the width | variety of a positive electrode coating part predetermined.

  When comparing the positive electrode 174 and the negative electrode 175 of the electrode group 170, in general, the compressibility of the active material layer is higher on the positive electrode side using a metal oxide as the active material than on the negative electrode side using a carbon material such as graphite. Get higher. Particularly in recent years, in order to increase the capacity of the battery, it is necessary to increase the amount of the positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode side is compressed at a higher pressure than the negative electrode side. Therefore, the positive electrode 174 has a greater amount of metal foil compression than the negative electrode 175, and has a greater tendency to bend. On the other hand, the negative electrode 175 has a smaller amount of compression by pressing than the positive electrode 174, and has a smaller bending tendency. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the curving tendency is reduced by providing the current collecting lead 200 on the positive electrode 174.

  In this embodiment, the case where lithium manganate is used as the positive electrode active material is exemplified, but other lithium manganate having a spinel crystal structure or a lithium manganese composite oxide or a layered state in which a part is substituted or doped with a metal element A lithium cobalt oxide or lithium titanate having a crystal structure, or a lithium-metal composite oxide obtained by substituting or doping a part thereof with a metal element may be used.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although illustrated about the case where PVDF is used as a binder of the mixture layer application part in the positive electrode 174 and the negative electrode 175, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene, polystyrene, polybutadiene, butyl rubber, Polymers such as nitrile rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, polysulfide rubber, nitrocellulose, cyanoethyl cellulose, various latexes, acrylonitrile, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride, propylene fluoride, chloroprene fluoride, acrylic resins, and mixtures thereof Etc. can be used.

The positive electrode 174 is traveled by the travel mechanism 197 and passes between the rotary cutter 195 and the rotary cutter receiver 196, whereby the current collecting lead 200 is notched and formed in the positive electrode uncoated portion 171a at a predetermined interval. The The piece cut off from the positive electrode uncoated portion 171a by the rotary cutter 195 is collected by a separate winding mechanism or the like.

FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view for explaining a method of joining the current collecting leads.
The electrode group 170 is a combination of a positive electrode 174 having a current collecting lead 200 and a negative electrode 175 that leaves an exposed portion (negative electrode uncoated portion 172a) of the negative electrode metal foil 172 having a predetermined width. The separators 173a and 173b are sandwiched between the two and wound around the shaft core 199 to form a flat shape. At this stage, a convex current collecting lead 200 protrudes over the entire circumference on the positive electrode side. Next, the current collector ring 198 is attached. The current collecting ring 198 is fixed to the shaft core 119 by fitting the column portion 198 c of the current collecting ring 198 into the shaft core groove 199 a of the shaft core 199. Then, the current collecting lead 200 is superposed on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall portion 198b, the ribbon 201 is fitted on the outer side, the current collecting lead 200 is sandwiched between the side wall portion 198b and the ribbon 201, and ultrasonic welding is performed. By doing this, the electrode group 170 is created.

9 is a perspective view showing a joined state of the electrode group and the current collecting component, and FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG.
The substrate portion 198a of the current collector ring 198 and the joining flat surface portion 183 of the positive electrode current collector plate 180 have a planar shape facing the narrow side surface 101b of the battery can 101, and are welded and joined in a state of being in contact with each other. Is done.

  The bonding flat portion 183 of the positive current collector plate 180 is provided with a concave portion 183a for positioning. By engaging the convex portion 198d of the current collecting ring 198, the electrode group 170 is positioned with respect to the positive current collector plate 180. It can be performed. The current collector ring 198 and the positive electrode current collector plate 180 are welded to each other by applying a laser to the junction boundary between them, and are fixed to each other. As shown in FIG. 10, a laser welding mark 202 remains in the welded portion.

  The joining flat surface portion 193 of the negative electrode current collector plate 190 is a flat surface facing the wide side surface 101a of the battery can 101, that is, a surface parallel to the flat portion of the negative electrode uncoated portion 172a. In the negative electrode uncoated portion 172a, a part of the flat portion of the electrode group 170 is bundled in the thickness direction to form a negative electrode connecting portion 178. As shown in FIG. Bonded in a superposed state. The joining is performed by bringing the negative electrode connection part 178 and the joining flat part 193 into pressure contact with each other and performing ultrasonic welding.

  As described above, the positive current collector plate 180 is electrically connected to the positive external terminal 104 at the seat surface portion 181, and the negative current collector plate 190 is also electrically connected to the negative external terminal 105 at the seat surface portion 191. Each of them is fixed to the battery lid 102 to constitute a lid assembly 107. Therefore, the electrode group 170 is fixed to the lid assembly 107 by the above-described structure.

  The structure in which the electrode group 170 is fixed to the battery lid 102 has vibration resistance and impact resistance with respect to external force, and the structure is preferably simple and easy to assemble. As in the case of a cylindrical secondary battery, the electrode group is fixed to the battery can if the battery lid, the bottom of the can, the shaft core, and the current collecting ring are arranged on the shaft. In the rotary secondary battery, the axis of the battery lid 102 and the electrode group 170 is in a parallel positional relationship, and the structure for fixing the electrode group 170 to the battery lid 102 is complicated. According to the present embodiment, since the shaft core 199 of the electrode group 170 is fixed to the positive electrode current collector plate 180 of the lid assembly 107 via the current collecting ring 198, the electrode group 170 is firmly fixed and supported. The structure of the secondary battery is simple and reliable with high vibration resistance and shock resistance.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the current collecting lead 200 is formed only on the positive electrode uncoated portion 174a of the positive electrode 174 out of the positive electrode 174 and the negative electrode 175 is shown, but for example, the positive electrode uncoated portion 174a and the negative electrode Convex current collecting leads are formed on both uncoated portions 175a, and each current collecting lead on the positive and negative electrode side is joined to a current collecting ring fixed to the shaft core 199. When the positive and negative current collector plates fixed to the lid assembly 107 are joined, the distance between the positive and negative current collector plates and the distance between the positive electrode side and the negative electrode current collector ring must be dimensionally matched. In order to fix each, it becomes difficult to fix by a dimensional error. Therefore, in the case of the flat wound electrode group, as in this embodiment, the current collection is performed only on either the positive electrode uncoated portion 174a of the positive electrode 174 or the negative electrode uncoated portion 175a of the negative electrode 175. A structure in which the lead 200 is provided is desirable.

The current collecting ring 198 has a complicated three-dimensional shape in which the side wall portion 198b and the column portion 198c are erected on the base plate portion 198a, and high-level work such as machining is required when producing the current collecting ring 198. There is a risk of high costs.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, a first part and a second part having a shape in which the current collecting ring is divided into two by a long axis of an ellipse or an ellipse of the substrate part are prepared, and the first part and the second part are prepared. The current collecting ring 210 is formed by combining the parts.

  The first component 211 and the second component 212 are respectively continuous along the board portions 211a and 212a having a shape obtained by dividing an ellipse or an ellipse into two along the long axis, and the outer edges of the board portions 211a and 212a. Semi-circular wall portions 211b and 212b that stand up, and support column portions 211c and 212c that stand up from the central portion of the long axis of the substrate portions 211a and 212a.

  The first component 211 and the second component 212 are configured by processing, for example, a metal thin plate, the semi-annular wall portions 211b and 212b are configured by deep drawing, and the support columns 211c and 212c are bent to form a substrate. It can be configured by starting up from the sections 211a and 212a.

  Then, the current collecting ring 210 can be formed by combining the first component 211 and the second component 212 by superimposing the column portions 211c and 212c. Therefore, the current collection ring 210 can be created at low cost.

It can be changed. For example, the above-described embodiment has been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and is not necessarily limited to one having all the configurations described.
