(improved embodiment)
(second embodiment)
Second embodiment is that with the different of first embodiment structure of separator 230 has changed with the mode that is connected to each other electrode nipple 222 and 224.
Be similar to first embodiment, the electrode nipple 222 that the assembled battery 210 of second embodiment has a plurality of stacked batteries 220 and each battery 220 is electrically connected mutually with 224, and battery 220 forms by encapsulating electric producing component with packaging part and simultaneously plate electrode joint 222 and 224 being drawn out to the outside from packaging part.This assembled battery 210 also is equipped with tabular electric insulation separator 230, is suitable for stacked direction (vertical direction among Figure 40) along battery from the opposed surface side holding electrode joint of electrode nipple 222 and 224.A plurality of batteries 220 are housed in the housing 240 in the mode of compacting electricity producing component.
By dual coating band or adhesive are applied to flat body 226 batteries 220 fastened to each other.A pair of separator 230 is stacked to being clamped together as one with positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224.Thereby a plurality of battery 220 connects in the mode of being connected in series.Form the superiors battery 220 negative electrode connector 224 be connected in negative output terminal 252, and the positive electrode joint 222 that forms undermost battery 220 is connected in positive output terminal 250.
The separator 230 of second embodiment is equipped with insulating barrier 234 with electrical insulation property and the heat dissipating layer 232 that has more high-heating radiation character than insulating barrier 234.The separator 230 that illustrates as an example forms with three-decker, comprises the insulating barrier 234 with insulating property (properties), and insulating barrier 234 is had heat dissipating layer 232 clampings of thermorodiative property, as shown in Figure 40.When electrode nipple 222 and 224 during, make heat dissipating layer 232 can contact stacked electrode nipple 222 and 224 by a pair of separator 230 clampings that all have this three-decker.
Insulating barrier 234 can be formed by suitable material, as long as it can give separator 230 electrical insulation property.Heat dissipating layer 232 can be formed by suitable material, as long as it has the thermorodiative property higher than insulating barrier 234.By using the material that has a higher heat conduction ratio than the material that forms insulating barrier 234 to form heat dissipating layer 232, heat dissipating layer 232 can have the thermorodiative property higher than insulating barrier 234.Because insulating barrier 234 can make separator 230 keep the electrical insulation property of himself, need not be confined to have the material of electrical insulation property so be used for forming the material of heat dissipating layer 232, but can from material, select with conduction property.The material of selecting to be used for to form heat dissipating layer 232 from the viewpoint that improves thermorodiative property is just enough.Specifically, the material that has a good thermorodiative property such as aluminium etc. is used for heat dissipating layer 232.For insulating barrier 234, use such as insulating material such as pottery or resins.Select for use when forming the material of heat dissipating layer 232 when conductive materials, much less,, must lay insulating barrier 234 along the in-plane of electrode nipple 222 and 224 in order to give separator 230 electrical insulation property.
Preferably, in the scope that guarantees electrical insulation property, form insulating barrier 234 with possible minimum thickness.This is because can improve the thermorodiative property that is caused by heat dissipating layer 232 in the limited thickness of separator 230.
As shown in Figure 42, separator 230 is approximate wide with battery 220, and is arranged on the whole width of electrode nipple 222 and 224.
As shown in Figure 40, a pair of separator 230 clampings are as a pair of two stacked positive electrode joints 222 and negative electrode connector 224, and are set together along stacked direction and positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224.In order to handle as a pair of two positive electrode joints 222 and negative electrode connector 224, the thickness of each separator 230 is approximately equal to the gross thickness of two batteries 220 and is arranged on two-layer interval.Each separator 230 is arranged on each electrode nipple side (cross side among the figure) of battery 220 alternately with a step.Thereby, be positioned at each battery 220 battery 220 of highest and lowest layer at place, opposite end except forming along stacked direction, their negative electrode connector 224 contacts with the positive electrode joint 222 of other battery 220 that is arranged at a last step, and their positive electrode joint 222 contacts with the negative electrode connector 224 of other battery that is arranged at next step.As a result, a plurality of battery 220 connects in the mode of being connected in series.As mentioned above, negative output terminal 252 is connected in the negative electrode connector 224 of the battery 220 that forms the superiors, and positive output terminal 250 is connected in the positive electrode joint 222 that forms undermost battery 220.Incidentally, a plurality of batteries 220 can so connect in the mode of being connected in series, and make positive output terminal 250 can be connected in the battery 220 that forms the superiors, and negative output terminal 252 can be connected in the undermost battery 220 of formation.
Housing 240 comprises battery 220 and separator 230.Form porosely on the housing 240, be used to draw positive output terminal 250 and the negative output terminal 252 that stretches out from stacked battery 220.Battery 220 and separator 230 firmly are fixed in the housing 240 and are protected.
(assembling process)
Now, will the assembling process of the assembled battery 210 in the present embodiment be described below.
At first, as shown in Figure 43, positive output terminal 250 is secured to the positive electrode joint 222 that forms undermost battery 220 by ultrasonic bonding.Under state subsequently, form undermost battery 220 by supporting mass 236 supportings.Here, supporting mass 236 is formed by insulating material, and is coupled to positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 with high friction plate, dual coating band or adhesive.
Subsequently, separator 230 ' is installed in the positive electrode joint 222 that forms undermost battery 220.In order to regulate the gross thickness of whole assembled battery 210, separator 230 ' used herein has the thickness of a battery.Because this thickness is so it forms double-layer structure.But, separator 230 ' is equipped with insulating barrier 234 and heat dissipating layer 232, is similar to aforementioned situation with the thickness that equals two battery gross thickness.
Then, stacked next battery 220.Adjacent battery 220 has adhesive or the dual coating band and fastened to each other that places therebetween.Separator 230 is installed in the positive electrode joint 222 of stacked battery 220.In this installing process, when making positive electrode joint 222 distortion that stretch straight, separator 230 is pressed against the negative electrode connector 224 that forms undermost battery 220 with it.Positive electrode joint 222 is formed by aluminium, and it is than negative electrode connector 224 easier bendings.Form the negative electrode connector 224 of undermost battery 220 and the proportional length difference of distortion that positive electrode joint 222 produces and positive electrode joint 222 produces that contacts and be arranged in the battery 220 of one deck above it with this joint 224 when stacked.
Subsequently, stacked battery 220 similarly.At this moment, separator 230 is provided with left side in the drawings and 224 two joints of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector is contacted along stacked direction.
When repeating above-mentioned stacked process and negative output terminal 252 is connected in the negative electrode connector 224 of the battery 220 that forms the superiors, form stacked main body as shown in Figure 44.
Here, stacked positive electrode joint 222 is different on length with negative electrode connector 224, and the not alignment of the end face of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224.The end face of this incomplete alignment of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 hinders their combination.Thereby, by using cutter the end face of stacked positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 is evened up.
As shown in Figure 45, by using TIG welding equipment 260 to utilize TIG to be welded to connect the end face of the alignment of electrode nipple 222 and 224.TIG welding equipment 260 is equipped with the not tungsten electrode of affected by heat, and in order to by realize to its surrounding environment feed inert gas flow the welding.In the process of welding, the anchor clamps 261 that serve as radiator simultaneously from top and below holding separator 230.Anchor clamps 261 keep stability in the process of welding, and promote the diffusion of the heat that produces in welding process.
Utilize the TIG welding, guaranteed the electrical connection between positive electrode joint 222 and the negative electrode connector 224.After whole TIG welding finishes, by stacked main body being placed on the assembled battery of finishing in the housing 240 as shown in Figure 40 210.
According to similar second embodiment of first embodiment, use separator 230 holding electrode joints 222 and 224 as described above, assembled battery 210 is provided, it has the shock strength of raising, demonstrate the influence that is not subjected to vibrate input, and allow the compactedness on the size.This assembled battery 210 has by separator 230 positive electrode joint 222 and 224 two joints of negative electrode connector as a pair of clamping.Because it is right that positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 are combined into, so they can connect with they constant postures.Thereby this operation is easy to carry out and can produces stable connection.
As the mode of connection electrode joint, comprise stacked electrode nipple being clamped between horn and the anvil block and the method that they couple together is available by ultrasonic bonding.When connecting adjacent electrode nipple by ultrasonic bonding, must be on electrode nipple and below acquisition be used for receiving the space of putting horn and anvil block.Thereby when the electrode nipple for the treatment of stacked battery was of similar shape, coming by the zone branch that will connect obtained described space, and therefore join domain is subjected to the power that is used to separate.When the join domain that separates connects when being closed into previous state, battery and electrode nipple are subjected to unwanted power.As a result, join domain and battery may break, and may not obtain stable quality.On the contrary, in a second embodiment,, be connected at its place, end with 224 near separator 230 outsides by a plurality of electrode nipples 222 of paired separator 230 clampings though the electrode nipple 222 and 224 of stacked battery 220 has same shape.Because the end of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 is connected by the TIG welding, so exempted the necessity that obtains to be used to admit the space of horn.As a result, because the zone that no longer needs to have connected separates or closure, thus can avoid join domain and battery 220 to break, and can obtain the connection of stay in grade.
Positive electrode joint 222 is connected with its end with negative electrode connector 224.Thereby the length of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 only is required to be: these joints can be outstanding a little from separator 230.The result is, positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 with littler length as compared with the past are just enough, and the size of assembled battery 210 is reduced.
Because even separator 230 supporting positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connectors 224 are so when the quantity for the treatment of stacked battery 220 is very big, also can finally also can collectively interconnect each battery 220 after whole stacked process is finished.Thereby stacked process can be carried out under the situation of any restriction not treating the stacked number of plies in addition.
In addition, each self-contained separator 230 with heat dissipating layer 232 of thermorodiative property be separately positioned on the top of stacked positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 and below.Thereby when positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 are connected when producing heat by welding at them, separator 230 is emitted heat.As a result, heat is delivered to battery 220 hardly., thereby, can prevent in connection procedure because the damage of the battery 220 that heat causes.
Incidentally, previous embodiment is welded to connect battery 220 by TIG.Yet the connection of battery 220 is not limited to the TIG welding.
As shown in Figure 46, stacked electrode nipple 222 and 224 can utilize laser welding to be connected to each other by using laser welding apparatus 262.
The laser focusing that laser welding apparatus 262 will be sent by oscillator by means of lens is on the end of stacked positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224.Therefore, the end of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224 is fused and is connected.
In addition, as shown in Figure 47, stacked electrode nipple 222 and 224 can be connected to each other by the friction stir pressure welding.In this case, keep the friction stir tool 264 of rotation to be inserted in the end face of positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224, and make it to stir and the material itself that is connected positive electrode joint 222 and negative electrode connector 224.
Connecting portion can obtain the mechanical strength of raising, because different with the method that makes material melts, this method connects stacked joint under the situation that does not make the joint material fusing.In addition, with regard to the material that connects only with minimum degree distortion or crooked with regard to, this method is favourable.
