Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery having at least two long cylindrical wound power generating elements. 2. Description of the Related Art In some rectangular batteries, a plurality of long cylindrical wound-type power generating elements are stacked and used in a battery container. For example, a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery shown in FIG.
Stored in. The power generating element 1 is formed by winding positive and negative electrodes in a long cylindrical shape. In addition, the four power generating elements 1 are formed by overlapping flat portions on the peripheral side surfaces and connecting and fixing the current collectors 3 to both ends. The current collector 3 is formed by sandwiching and welding a metal foil of a positive electrode or a negative electrode projecting from an end portion of the power generating element 1 into a corrugated concave portion.
And serves as a lead for connecting the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the terminal 4. [0003] However, in the long cylindrical winding type power generating element 1, the flat portion on the peripheral side surface gradually curves and expands, and the shape changes from the long cylindrical shape to the cylindrical shape. Tend to. When such deformation occurs, not only the distance between the wound electrodes increases and the battery performance deteriorates, but also the problem that the bulge to the outside of the flat portion on the peripheral side surface presses the battery container 2 occurs. Had occurred. The present invention has been made in order to cope with such a situation, and a plurality of long cylindrical wound-type power generating elements are overlapped and fastened and covered with a sheet material so that the distance between the poles can be kept constant. It is an object of the present invention to provide a battery that can keep the battery from bulging outward. [0005] The battery according to claim 1 is a power generating element of a plurality of long cylindrical winding type, wherein flat portions on the peripheral side face are overlapped with each other. The periphery of the peripheral side surface of the power generating element is fastened with a sheet material. According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of power generating elements overlap and are fastened by the sheet material covering the power generating elements, the flat portions on the peripheral side surfaces of the power generating elements are pressed together, and the flat portions are pressed. Inflation can be suppressed. Therefore, in this battery, the distance between the electrodes of each power generation element is not increased, and this power generation element does not tend to deform into a cylindrical shape. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a step of covering two power generating elements with a sheet material and fastening them with an adhesive tape, and FIG. Perspective view of two power generating elements covered with a sheet material and fastened with an adhesive tape,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a step of connecting and fixing a current collector to a power generating element covered with a sheet material and fastened with an adhesive tape. Components having the same functions as those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, a rectangular non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which four long cylindrical wound power generating elements 1 are housed in a battery container 2 as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 4 will be described. .
This non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is a large-sized rectangular battery used for electric vehicles and the like. A battery container 2 is formed by stacking four long cylindrical wound-type power generating elements 1 with flat portions on the peripheral side thereof.
And these power generating elements 1 are connected to the current collecting connector 3
Are connected in parallel to the positive and negative terminals 4 via. Each power generating element 1 is formed by winding a strip-shaped positive electrode and negative electrode into a long cylindrical shape via a separator. The positive electrode has a positive electrode active material supported on the surface of a band-shaped aluminum foil serving as a current collector except for one side end of the band,
The negative electrode is obtained by supporting a negative electrode active material on the surface of a strip-shaped copper foil serving as a current collector except for the other side end of the strip. Then, by winding the strip-shaped positive electrode and the negative electrode slightly apart from each other in the winding axis direction, one end of the power generating element 1 is provided with an aluminum foil that is an uncoated portion of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode. The copper foil which becomes the uncoated portion of the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode is protruded from the other end. The four power generating elements 1 are arranged such that flat portions on the peripheral side surface of a long cylindrical shape are overlapped with each other. At this time, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The periphery of the peripheral side surface of one is covered with two sheet materials 5 and fastened with an adhesive tape 6. That is, first, two power generating elements 1 and 1 are placed on one sheet material 5 in a superimposed manner, and another sheet material 5 is placed thereon. Next, as shown by the arrow P, the flat portions at both ends of the two power generating elements 1, 1 are pressed from above and below by a press or the like via these sheet materials 5, 5. Then, in a state where the compression is applied, the upper and lower sheet members 5, 5 are pulled along both sides, respectively, along the two side surfaces of the two power generation elements 1, 1 and these ends are fixed to each other with the adhesive tape 6. . That is, the sheet materials 5 and 5 are 2
The power generating elements 1 and 1 cover the periphery of the peripheral side surface and are fixed (fastened) in a tightened state. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the two power generating elements 1, 1 are fastened by the sheet members 5, 5 in a state where the flat portions on the peripheral side are overlapped with each other. Even after the release, the state at the time of being pressed can be maintained. In the present embodiment, a sheet of polyphenylsulfite resin (PPS) is used as the sheet material 5,
As the adhesive tape 6, a polyimide sheet having one surface coated with an adhesive is used. However, the material of the sheet material 5 and the adhesive tape 6 is not limited to such a resin, and any material may be used as long as it is a sheet material having low resistance to electrolyte and heat resistance and having low ductility. For example, besides resin, cloth, nonwoven fabric, paper or the like can be used. Instead of using the adhesive tape 6, an adhesive or an adhesive may be applied to the sheet material 5, or the sheet materials 5 and 5 may be directly fixed to each other by heat welding or the like. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present embodiment is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, two sets of two power generating elements 1 to which the sheet members 5 are fastened are arranged such that the flat portions on the peripheral side are overlapped with each other,
Current collecting connectors 3 and 3 are arranged at both ends, respectively, and connected and fixed. Each current collector 3 has a terminal 4 connected and fixed above a central portion of a corrugated metal plate. Then, the positive current collector 3 is connected and fixed by ultrasonic welding by sandwiching the positive electrode aluminum foil protruding at one end of each power generating element 1 into each of the corrugated plate-shaped concave portions by ultrasonic welding. The positive electrodes of the power generating elements 1 are connected in parallel to the positive terminal 4, and the negative current collector 3 is inserted into each of the corrugated plate-shaped recesses at the other end of each power generating element 1. By connecting and fixing the copper foil by ultrasonic welding, the four power generating elements 1
Are connected to the negative terminal 4 in parallel. The four power generating elements 1 connected to the positive and negative terminals 4 via the current collector 3 as described above are housed in a battery case 2 of a metal case shown in FIG. The upper end opening of the battery container 2 is closed by a cover plate (not shown). At this time, the upper ends of the positive and negative terminals 4 penetrate the lid plate via the insulating sealing material and are projected to the outside. And
A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is completed by filling the inside of the battery container 2 with a non-aqueous electrolyte and sealing the inside. According to the above configuration, the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present embodiment is fastened by the sheet material 5 with the power generating elements 1 being two by two and the flat portions being overlapped with each other. The flat portions on the peripheral side face are pressed against each other, so that it is possible to prevent the flat portion from expanding and the long cylindrical shape from being deformed into a cylindrical shape. For this reason, it becomes possible to prevent a decrease in battery performance due to an increase in the distance between the electrodes of each power generating element 1. In addition, these power generating elements 1 do not press the space in the battery container 2 or press the battery container 2 from the inside to expand to the outside. Particularly, in this embodiment, the two power generating elements 1
The sheet material 5 is tightened in a state where the flat portions are pressed, so that the flat portions on the peripheral side surfaces of the power generating elements 1 are tightened in a state where the flat portions are sufficiently pressed together, and it is ensured that these flat portions expand. Can be prevented. However, when fastening the sheet material 5, the two power generating elements 1
If the flat portions on the peripheral side surfaces are strongly tightened so as to sufficiently press each other, the step of pressing these power generating elements 1 can be omitted. Moreover, the sheet material 5 is moved up and down by 2
The two power generating elements 1 are arranged and fixed at both sides of the power generating elements 1 because the flat portions at both ends of the power generating elements 1 are pressed by a press or the like, and when this pressing step is omitted. In this case, the entire periphery of the two power generating elements 1 can be covered with one sheet material 5 and fastened at an appropriate position on the peripheral side. In this embodiment, the two power generating elements 1
Has been shown to cover the periphery of the peripheral side surface with a sheet material 5 having a width slightly shorter than the entire length in the winding axis direction. For example, only the central portion in the winding axis direction is covered with the sheet material 5 having a narrow width. You can also do so. Furthermore, it is also possible to cover a plurality of locations along the winding axis direction with the sheet material 5 having a narrow width. Moreover, when such a narrow sheet material 5 is used, the flat portions at both ends of the two power generating elements 1
Since a portion that is not covered by the sheet material 5 is formed, if only this portion is pressed by a press machine or the like, one sheet material 5 covers the entire periphery of the peripheral side surface of the power generating element 1. be able to. In the above embodiment, the case where two power generating elements 1 are covered with the sheet material 5 has been described. However, three or more arbitrary power generating elements 1 can be covered with the sheet material 5. For example, since the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present embodiment uses four power generating elements 1, these are collectively
Can be covered with. However, in the present embodiment, since a part of the current collecting connector 3 is sandwiched between every two power generating elements 1, the number of the power generating elements 1 covered with the sheet material 5 is also divided into two. I was However, power generation element 1
The configuration of the current collecting connector 3 that connects between the power generating element 1 and the terminal 4 is arbitrary. If the current collecting connector 3 having a configuration that does not need to be interposed between the power generating elements 1 is used, the four power generating elements 1 Then, it can be covered with the sheet material 5. Also, a power generating element 1 and a terminal 4
Can be connected without using such a current collector 3. Further, in the above embodiment, the power generating element 1 in which the positive electrode and the negative electrode are shifted and wound so as to protrude to both ends is shown. However, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are wound to form a long cylindrical shape. The configuration is arbitrary as long as it is a wound power generating element 1. Therefore, it is not always necessary to have a long cylindrical shape at the time of winding, and the present invention can be similarly applied to the power generating element 1 formed into a long cylindrical shape by pressing the peripheral side surface from both sides after winding into a cylindrical shape. Further, until the plurality of power generating elements 1 are covered with the sheet material 5, the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the winding axis of each power generating element 1 may be an elliptical shape instead of an oval shape. Further, in the above embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has been described, but any type of battery may be used as long as the battery uses two or more long cylindrical wound power generating elements 1. As is clear from the above description, according to the battery of the present invention, the sheet material covers and tightens the overlapping power generating elements, so that the flat portion on the peripheral side surface of each power generating element does not expand. Thus, it is possible to prevent the distance between the electrodes of these power generating elements from increasing or from trying to deform into a cylindrical shape.
