Description

Alkaline battery and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the end construction of the pole plate of alkaline battery.
Background technology
In the past, at the positive electrode of alkali accumulator plate following scheme has been proposed, be that appendix nickel hydroxide particle (for example opening clear 50-36935 communique (patent documentation 1) with reference to the spy) on about 95% the foaming nickel substrate promptly having as shown in Figure 13 dimension interconnected pores and porositys.Foaming nickel substrate is widely used as the core of high power capacity positive electrode of alkali accumulator plate at present.But if contain the battery repeated charge of this positive plate, then positive plate can expand at thickness direction and Width.Its reason is the nickel hydroxide generation volumetric expansion in the positive plate.If the positive active material of extruding at Width comes off, then the problem of Chan Shenging is that the active material that comes off contacts with opposed negative plate.In addition, in negative plate, also produce active material after active material comes off, comes off such problem that contacts with opposed positive plate sometimes.
The scheme of the 2 dimension structural core of use punch metal thin plate and metal lath (expandedmetal sheet) and so on has been proposed in recent years.The core of 2 dimension structures is made with mechanicalness punching operation usually, thereby is cheap.If adopt the core of 2 dimension structures, then can realize the high capacity of positive plate.In addition, if adopt the core that constitutes by the electrolysis paper tinsel, then can realize the slimming of pole plate.But in the core of 2 dimension structures, existing shortcoming is a little less than the confining force of active material.So, the someone proposed 2 the dimension structures the core solids be processed into 3 the dimension structures scheme (for example with reference to the spy open flat 7-130370 communique (patent documentation 2), the spy opens 2002-15741 communique (patent documentation 3)).
Fig. 2 is the stereogram of an example of expression core, and wherein said core is processed into 3 dimension structures by solid.In addition, Fig. 3 is the partial enlarged drawing of presentation graphs 2.This core 1 constitutes by having the sheet metal 3 that forms rectangular slit, and the rectangular segment between a pair of slit is outstanding alternately and form the 1st and the 2nd curved raised portion 4,7 at the positive and negative of core 1 along a direction X.The the 1st and the 2nd curved raised portion 4,7 is disposed in parallel to each other, forms along the protrusion of direction X capable 8.A plurality of protrusions capable 8 are the par 9 of preset width at interval, arranges along the other direction Y vertical with direction X.Direction Y is exactly the length direction of core 1, and direction X is exactly the Width of core 1.At edge part along core 1 length direction, residual the vegetarian noodles portion (plain part) 5 that does not form curved raised portion 4,7.In vegetarian noodles portion 5, the recess of many ditch shapes 15 forms ripple with the configuration that is parallel to each other.
But even when the core appendix shown in Fig. 2,3 active material, the active material confining force is also insufficient.For this reason, if because of repeated charge causes nickel hydroxide volumetric expansion in the positive plate, then positive plate expands at thickness direction and Width.Therefore, will produce and adopt the same problem of situation of foaming nickel substrate.
On the other hand, someone has proposed following scheme, promptly puncture the short circuit that barrier film causes owing to the burr of core, the end face of pole plate end and peripheral both sides thereof are covered (for example opening flat 5-190200 communique (patent documentation 4) with reference to the spy) with resin in order to prevent.The order of this motion is not preventing coming off of active material.Therefore, almost can't see the effect that inhibition comes off from the active material that is covered end face by resin.
Summary of the invention
Extruding active material at the Width of a side pole plate comes off, active material that perhaps comes off and opposed the opposing party's pole plate such problem that is short-circuited only can not be prevented with end face and the peripheral both sides thereof that resin covers plate end portion.This is to expand owing to active material is accompanied by carrying out repeatedly of discharging and recharging, and resin is extruded at Width with active material thus.
In addition, also consider to be provided with the exposed division of the electrode core that does not have active material, the porous metal layer is bonded on this exposed division, thereby utilizes this porous metal layer, end coming off of active material in the end of pole plate.But porous metal layer in that event is across barrier film and to electrode contraposition, and then electric current is just concentrated on the porous metal layer.And because carrying out repeatedly of charge and discharge cycles impels barrier film and the contacted part of porous metal layer to degenerate.
The present invention relates to alkaline battery, it is made of positive plate, negative plate, barrier film and alkaline electrolyte between positive plate and negative plate, and wherein, positive plate and negative plate the 1st end separately becomes curren-collecting part; At least at least the 2 end relative of positive plate, cover the both sides of end face and periphery thereof with polyvinyl resin with the 1st end; The filming of polyvinyl resin that is arranged on positive plate the 2nd end is deposited over the barrier film that is configured in its both sides.
In such structure, the both sides sidepiece of pole plate end face and periphery thereof is that polyvinyl resin covers with insulating material fully, and, thereby can prevent that polyvinyl resin from extruding at the Width of pole plate with active material because polyvinyl resin is deposited over barrier film.
In negative plate, consider from overcoming contact with the opposed positive plate angle of such defective of active material that active material comes off and come off, also, cover with polyvinyl resin in the both sides of its end face and periphery thereof preferably for the 2nd end of negative plate.
The fusing point of polyvinyl resin is preferably 120 ℃ or following, and this is because if the fusing point of polyvinyl resin at 120 ℃ or following, just can not cause damage to active material, and can cover the end of pole plate with polyvinyl resin.
The coating thickness of polyvinyl resin is preferably 5~50 μ m in (just on the direction perpendicular to the pole plate end face) on the end face of the 2nd end.
The active material layer on the electrode core is constituted by electrode core and appendix usually for positive plate and negative plate.So at least one side of positive plate and negative plate, also at least the 2 end of the pole plate that can cover with polyvinyl resin is set at the exposed division that does not have the electrode of active material layer core.Preferably engage the porous metal layer at electrode core exposed division.In such structure, also can obtain to prevent effects such as coming off of active material by the porous metal layer.

Embodiment
Generally the active material layer on this electrode core constitutes alkaline storage battery pole plate by electrode core and appendix.Fig. 4 is the plane graph of an example of expression pole plate, and Fig. 5 is that the I-I of pole plate 30 of Fig. 4 is to cutaway view.In Fig. 4, the tow sides of the core 32 of 2 smooth dimension structures appendix separately active material layer 31.But, the present invention no matter adopt what kind of the electrode core can, and especially preferably be that the sheet metals of 3 dimension structures are used as positive plate with solid processing (distortion).
As solid processing (distortion) is the sheet metal of 3 dimension structures, as Fig. 2~shown in Figure 3, for example can use to have the capable core of protrusion (hereinafter referred to as core A), wherein said protrusion is capable of being constituted in the 1st and the 2nd outstanding alternately curved raised portion of the positive and negative of thin plate.In addition, the also preferred core (hereinafter referred to as core B) that adopts with following burr, wherein said burr form from the mutual punching of the tow sides of core, thereby alternatively highlight from the tow sides of core respectively.Before solid was processed as 3 dimension structures, the thickness of sheet metal was generally 10~80 μ m.
In addition, as the electrode core, can adopt also that to have 3 dimension interconnected pores and porositys be about 95% foaming nickel substrate.Foaming nickel substrate generally is used as the core of positive electrode of alkali accumulator.In addition, as the sheet metal that is used for anodal core, preferably adopt nickel foil or coating surface that the iron foil of nickel is arranged.
The electrode slip is coated on the electrode core, carries out drying and calendering then, just form active material layer thus.Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, after the curren-collecting part 33 that the exposed division of reserving by core constitutes, active material layer 31 is arranged on the tow sides of core 32.Curren-collecting part 33 forms a side (hereinafter referred to as the 1st end) of the end that is parallel to the core length direction, and makes it have predetermined width.The cropped as required size that becomes to be scheduled to of thin plate that is made of electrode core and active material layer that obtains so just obtains pole plate thus.
It is the positive active material and the binding agent of main component that the anodal slip that is used to form positive electrode active material layer contains with the nickel hydroxide, also can contain electric conducting material and thickener.Anodal electric conducting material preferably uses cobalt compounds such as cobalt hydroxide.
The negative pole slip that is used to form negative electrode active material layer contains predetermined negative electrode active material, also can contain binding agent, electric conducting material, thickener etc.
Positive active material preferably uses the solid solution hydrogen nickel oxide powder that contains cobalt, zinc etc.
Negative electrode active material can use hydrogen bearing alloy, zinc compound and cadmium compound etc.
Binding agent preferably uses polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as PTFE), polythene derivative and fluorubber etc.
Thickener preferably uses water-soluble cellulose derivative, water soluble acrylic resin's derivative and polyvinyl alcohol derivative etc.
Then as shown in Figure 6, cover the end face and the peripheral both sides thereof of at least the 2 end relative of gained pole plate with the 1st end with polyvinyl resin.Fig. 6 is that expression is provided with the film plane graph of an example of 34 pole plate of polyvinyl resin.In addition, Fig. 7 is that the I-I of pole plate 30 of Fig. 6 is to cutaway view.
For example the aqueous dispersions of polyvinyl resin is coated in the end face and the peripheral both sides thereof of the 2nd end of pole plate, heats the heating of filming afterwards, just form polyvinyl resin thus and film.In addition, also can consider under the state of heating and melting, to apply polyvinyl resin.But such method is difficult to form thin filming.In addition, the end beyond the 2nd end of pole plate, the same with the 2nd end, also can apply polyvinyl resin.
The aqueous dispersions of polyvinyl resin can adopt commercially available dispersion liquid.In the aqueous dispersions of commercially available polyvinyl resin, when the ratio of solid constituent is high (for example resin content be 60 weight % or when above), preferred water etc. dilutes.If use the high aqueous dispersions of solid constituent ratio at that, then be difficult to form filming of polyvinyl resin with the thickness of wanting.
When carrying out the dilution of aqueous dispersions, if adopt pure water, then polyvinyl resin tends to produce cohesion and precipitation.In order to prevent cohesion and precipitation, effective method is that the water-soluble resin that will have thickening effect adds in the dilution water.But if employing carboxymethyl cellulose etc. contain alkali-metal water-soluble resin, then effect is on the contrary, because it has further promoted the precipitation of polyvinyl resin.Therefore, preferably use the water-soluble resin of alkali-free metal, for example methylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol etc. especially preferably use methylcellulose.
The content of polyvinyl resin is preferably 10~50 weight % in the polyvinyl resin aqueous dispersions.Polyvinyl resin contain quantity not sufficient 10 weight % the time, filming of polyvinyl resin is easy to generate defective, if surpass 50 weight %, then because the surface tension of aqueous dispersions increases, causes evenly coating difficulty.The content of polyvinyl resin can be adjusted at any time according to the difference of required coating thickness.
The content of water-soluble resin is preferably 2.5~5.0 weight % in the polyvinyl resin aqueous dispersions.If the content of water-soluble resin is too much, then polyvinyl resin become film after, water-soluble resin will sweeten off from film and become electrolyte.Therefore, polyvinyl resin is expected that the insulation effect that produces will reduce.On the other hand, if the content of water-soluble resin is very few, then be difficult to be filmed uniformly.
The polyvinyl resin that at least the 2 end of pole plate is covered is low density polyethylene (LDPE) preferably.In addition, the fusing point of polyvinyl resin is preferably 120 ℃ or following, more preferably 110 ℃ or following.This is because if the fusing point of polyvinyl resin surpasses 120 ℃, and when then making polyvinyl resin be deposited on the pole plate in the end of heating pole plate, active material will be degenerated, thereby reduce the utilance of active material.
In the molecule of polyvinyl resin, the residual of two keys arranged in manufacture process.The content that is included in the two keys in the polyvinyl resin is preferably low as much as possible.For example, if filming of polyvinyl resin is set on positive plate, then polyethylene is in the state of oxidation, is the decomposition that basic point carries out polyvinyl resin with two keys often.For this reason, if adopt the high polyvinyl resin of double bond content, then when carrying out the charge and discharge cycles of battery repeatedly, filming has the tendency that degeneration takes place.
Method at the aqueous dispersions of the both sides coating polyvinyl resin of the end face of at least the 2 end of pole plate and periphery thereof is not particularly limited.For example, according to following method, can access uniformly and film.
Describe below with reference to Fig. 8.In addition, Fig. 8 is conceptual description, and the size of each key element etc. are different with actual conditions.
At first, the aqueous dispersions 50 of polyvinyl resin is offered the surface of the cylinder 51 that is rotating continuously from a direction, and film 52 what described cylinder surface was provided with predetermined thickness.
For example, cylinder 51 is arranged on the liquid level of aqueous dispersions of polyvinyl resin and the position of intersecting perpendicular to the cylinder section of rotating shaft 53.Make cylinder 51 rotations with speed arbitrarily then.The rotating shaft 53 of cylinder or almost parallel parallel with liquid level.
When making the cylinder rotation with such configuration, cylinder surface moves under liquid level, and during this period, aqueous dispersions becomes films attached to cylinder surface.Being attached with cylinder surface that aqueous dispersions films moves on the liquid level along with the rotation of cylinder.For the aqueous dispersions with preferred thickness is filmed attached to cylinder surface, the rotary speed of cylinder needs to carry out suitable adjustment according to the viscosity of aqueous dispersions etc.
Configuration cylinder 51 preferred modes are, make perpendicular to the cylinder section of rotating shaft 53 50% or more than be positioned under the liquid level.If the ratio that is positioned at subsurface cylinder is less than 50%, then the coating thickness attached to the aqueous dispersions of cylinder surface will produce bigger fluctuation.In addition, reach 100% if be positioned at the ratio of subsurface cylinder, then the end of pole plate directly contacts with the liquid level of aqueous dispersions, thereby aqueous dispersions is difficult to carry out stable coating to the end of pole plate.
Secondly, the 2nd end 55 of pole plate 54 52 is contacted with filming attached to the aqueous dispersions of cylinder surface, the pole plate 54 with respect to the cylinder surface arranged perpendicular is moved to the tangential direction X of cylinder.By such operation,, can apply the aqueous dispersions 56 of polyvinyl resin in the both sides of the end face and the periphery thereof of the 2nd end 55 of pole plate 54.Be coated at aqueous dispersions under the situation of the 1st end of pole plate, also can use same operation to carry out polyvinyl resin.
The translational speed of pole plate should be carried out suitable adjustment according to the viscosity of aqueous dispersions, the rotary speed of cylinder etc.The moving direction of pole plate can be consistent with the moving direction of cylinder surface, also can be opposite direction.But, for being provided with uniform polyvinyl resin, the both sides at the end face of pole plate and periphery thereof film, and preferably with the speed synchronous, pole plate is moved towards the direction identical with the moving direction of cylinder surface with the rotary speed of cylinder.
The diameter of cylinder be preferably 150mm or more than.The diameter of cylinder is big more, the sagging that the aqueous dispersions that produces with regard to suppressing to be subjected to effect of surface tension is more filmed.Therefore, can thickness be set in the both sides of the end face of pole plate end and periphery thereof films uniformly.
After the aqueous dispersions of at least the 2 end of pole plate coating polyvinyl resin, the temperature of its end that raises is carried out drying and is made moisture evaporation, thereby polyvinyl resin is deposited on the pole plate.The temperature that polyvinyl resin is deposited on the pole plate is preferably 105~120 ℃.
Follow positive plate and negative plate stacked or that coiling is separated by barrier film and make the pole plate group.Fig. 9 is illustrated near the structure the 2nd end of the positive plate in the pole plate group with section.As shown in Figure 9, than the wideer barrier film 63 of positive plate 61 and negative plate 62 width between two-plate.In the both sides of the end face and the periphery thereof of the 2nd end 64 of positive plate 61, what be formed with polyvinyl resin films 65.Filming of polyvinyl resin is 65 adjacent with the barrier film 63 of both sides that is configured in positive plate 61.
The thickness that the polyvinyl resin that end face in the 2nd end of pole plate forms is filmed, promptly the thickness deltat k among Fig. 9 is preferably 5~50 μ m, more preferably 5~20 μ m.If the thickness deltat k less than 5 μ m that polyvinyl resin is filmed, the weakened of then filming perhaps produces defective in filming.Consequently film and to bear the expansion of pole plate, thereby be difficult to prevent the short circuit between positive plate and the negative plate.If the thickness deltat k that films surpasses 50 μ m, then when constituting the pole plate group, often produce problems such as winding position skew.
The both sides of the end face periphery of the 2nd end that the filming of polyvinyl resin also can be arranged on pole plate.The height (being the height Δ h among Fig. 9) that the polyvinyl resin of the end face periphery both sides of the 2nd end is filmed is preferably 0.3~1mm.Under the situation that the both sides of end face periphery polyvinyl resin of no use covers, by polyvinyl resin film and barrier film between deposited formed barrier film and pole plate between to engage be inadequate.
In such pole plate group, the position at 64 places, the 2nd end by heating cathode plate 61 is deposited over 65 barrier films 63 with the both sides that are configured in positive plate 61 of filming of polyvinyl resin.Make 65 temperature that are deposited over barrier film 63 of filming of polyvinyl resin, be preferably the temperature also higher 5~10 ℃ than the fusing point of polyvinyl resin.If exceed 5 ℃ of the temperature less thaies of fusing point, then filming of polyvinyl resin can not fully be deposited over barrier film.In addition, surpass 10 ℃ if exceed the temperature of fusing point, then polyvinyl resin is toward dirty, makes deposited between barrier film and the polyvinyl resin become inhomogeneous.
For filming of polyvinyl resin is deposited over barrier film, also can heat whole pole plate group.But, when the pole plate group is warmed up to too high temperature, then bring because of active material the low of caused utilance that degenerate.In addition, the temperature of pole plate group is preferably lowered the temperature when polyvinyl resin begins fusion at once.In case keep the molten condition of polyvinyl resin for a long time, then polyvinyl resin will be toward dirty, makes deposited between barrier film and the polyvinyl resin become inhomogeneous.
Barrier film can use the known barrier film that uses in the alkaline battery, not what special restriction.For example the nonwoven fabrics that can constitute with polypropylene system nonwoven fabrics, polyethylene system nonwoven fabrics, by polypropylene and poly compound etc. is as barrier film.These barrier films are preferably implemented hydrophilicity-imparting treatment such as sulfonation.
Expose with the side of helical structure at pole plate group end face the 1st end that becomes the positive plate curren-collecting part.On this curren-collecting part, welding anodal collector plate.Similarly, the curren-collecting part of negative plate is exposed with the end face of helical structure pole plate group the opposing party, the collector plate of itself and negative plate can be welded together.The pole plate group that obtains like this is housed in the housing with electrolyte,, just can obtains alkaline battery if the peristome of housing is sealed with the hush panel that safety valve is housed.
It is the aqueous alkali of main solute dissolving that electrolyte can use with potassium hydroxide.
In at least one side of positive plate and negative plate, the 2nd end of the pole plate that will cover with polyvinyl resin is set at the exposed division that does not have the electrode of active material layer core, and situation like this describes below.
Figure 10 is the longitudinal section that is not had the pole plate 90 that the exposed division of the electrode core of active material layer constitutes by the 2nd end.In Figure 10, in the tow sides of the core 92 of smooth 2 dimension structures, appendix active material 91 respectively.But in fact, core preferably adopts the sheet metal that is processed as 3 dimension structures by solid.
On the 1st end 93 of pole plate 90, the curren-collecting part that the exposed division by core constitutes is being set, on 2nd end 94 relative, the exposed division of core is being set also with the 1st end.Then, the exposed division with porous metal layer 95 and the 2nd end 94 is bonded together.By the 2nd end portion thickness that the exposed division and the porous metal layer of electrode core constitutes, be generally 50~100% of the electrode thickness that constitutes by electrode core and active material layer.
Along the 2nd end 94, coating contains the slurry of metal dust and thickener, and porous metal layer 95 can form by drying and the described slurry of sintering.In addition, when curren-collecting part is made of the exposed division of core, also can engage same porous metal layer at its exposed division.
The average primary particle diameter of metal dust is preferably 0.5~4 μ m, and primary particle preferably is connected to form 3 dimension structures with the form of chain.Can be with nickel powder, stainless steel powder, chromium powder, copper powder etc. as metal dust.
Secondly, active material layer in the 1st end of electrode core and the regional appendix beyond the 2nd end.And as shown in figure 11, in the end face and the peripheral both sides thereof of the 2nd end 94, what be provided with polyvinyl resin films 96.In the pole plate 100 that obtains like this, the porous metal layer has the effect that prevents that active material from coming off and so on.
Figure 12 represents near the structure the 2nd end of positive plate in the pole plate group with section, wherein said pole plate group adopts the positive plate of Figure 11 to be assembled into and forms.As shown in figure 12, positive plate 43 is made of anodal core 41 and the positive electrode active material layer 42 that is arranged on its two sides, than the wideer barrier film 45 of the width of positive plate 43 and negative plate 44 between two-plate.The exposed division of core is being set in the 2nd end of anodal core 41, and porous metal layer 46 is bonded together with this exposed division.Then, the 2nd end of the positive plate that is made of the exposed division and the porous metal layer of core 47 covers with filming of polyvinyl resin.Because polyvinyl resin is insulating material, so filming of polyvinyl resin 47 has the effect that prevents that electric current from concentrating at the porous metal layer.Its result can suppress the part of the barrier film that contacts with the porous metal layer and degenerate.
