Description

本発明は扁平角型電池、および扁平角型電池を接続した組電池に関する。   The present invention relates to a flat rectangular battery and a battery pack to which the flat rectangular battery is connected.

ハイブリット車両等に搭載される電池には、50V以上の高出力電圧と大電力を要求されるため、複数の単位電池を直列接続した組電池が一般に使用される。単位電池は種々検討されているが、扁平角型電池はパック化した際の体積効率が優れているため有望である。   A battery mounted on a hybrid vehicle or the like is required to have a high output voltage of 50 V or more and a large power, and therefore an assembled battery in which a plurality of unit batteries are connected in series is generally used. Various unit batteries have been studied, but flat rectangular batteries are promising because of their excellent volumetric efficiency when packed.

扁平角型電池よりなる組電池は、取り扱い易い形状とするために、単位電池を、幅広面を対向させて直列に配列する。このため、従来の扁平角形電池には、幅広面周囲の細長面に正極および負極の外部端子を設け、バスバー等で連結している(特許文献1参照)。   In order to make an assembled battery made of flat rectangular batteries easy to handle, unit batteries are arranged in series with the wide surfaces facing each other. For this reason, in the conventional flat rectangular battery, positive and negative external terminals are provided on an elongated surface around a wide surface and connected by a bus bar or the like (see Patent Document 1).

特開2008−091183号公報JP 2008-091183 A

従来の扁平角型電池を用いた組電池では、細長面に正極および負極の外部端子を設けるため、各極集電部と外部端子との距離が比較的長くなり、電気抵抗が大きい。さらに、隣り合う扁平角型電池は、バスバー等を用いて正極外部端子と負極外部端子を連結するため、バスバーが抵抗となり無視できない電力損失が生じる。   In a battery pack using a conventional flat prismatic battery, positive and negative external terminals are provided on the elongated surface, so that the distance between each electrode current collector and the external terminal is relatively long, and the electric resistance is large. Further, since the adjacent flat rectangular batteries connect the positive external terminal and the negative external terminal using a bus bar or the like, the bus bar becomes a resistance, resulting in a power loss that cannot be ignored.

[第1の実施の形態]
Next, embodiments of the flat rectangular battery and the assembled battery according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]

図1〜図3に示すように、組電池100は、扁平直方体状の扁平角形電池200を直列接続して構成される。扁平角形電池200は、容器表面に容器厚み方向に対向する一対の幅広面202,204を有する。幅広面202,204は、容器の外周面で最も面積が大きい面である。これら一対の幅広面202、204の一方の幅広面202には正極外部端子210が設けられ、他方の幅広面204には負極外部端子220が設けられている。複数の扁平角型電池200のうち、隣接する電池200の正極外部端子210と負極外部端子220を接続して組電池が構成される。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the assembled battery 100 is configured by connecting flat rectangular batteries 200 having a flat rectangular parallelepiped shape in series. The flat rectangular battery 200 has a pair of wide surfaces 202 and 204 facing the container surface in the container thickness direction. The wide surfaces 202 and 204 are surfaces having the largest area on the outer peripheral surface of the container. A positive external terminal 210 is provided on one wide surface 202 of the pair of wide surfaces 202 and 204, and a negative external terminal 220 is provided on the other wide surface 204. Among the plurality of flat rectangular batteries 200, the assembled battery is configured by connecting the positive external terminal 210 and the negative external terminal 220 of the adjacent battery 200.

各扁平角形電池200は、正極板300、負極板302をセパレータ(図示省略)で絶縁しつつ捲回した扁平状の電極群304、または、正極板300、負極板302をセパレータ(図示省略)で絶縁しつつ積層した扁平状の電極群304を電池缶206に収納して構成されている。なお、図1では、最も左に位置する扁平角形電池200についてのみ、捲回タイプの捲回群304を示す。   Each flat prismatic battery 200 includes a flat electrode group 304 in which the positive electrode plate 300 and the negative electrode plate 302 are insulated while being insulated with a separator (not shown), or the positive electrode plate 300 and the negative electrode plate 302 with a separator (not shown). A flat electrode group 304 that is laminated while being insulated is housed in a battery can 206. In FIG. 1, only the flat rectangular battery 200 located on the leftmost side shows a wound type winding group 304.

正極板300、負極板302には、捲回群304のX方向の両端部に、未塗工部(集電部)306、308がそれぞれ設けられている。正極外部端子210と集電部306、負極外部端子220と集電部308はそれぞれ、図示しない集電板などを介して電気的に接続されている。未塗工部(集電部)306、308は充分幅広に形成され、例えば、捲回群304の両端からそれぞれ10mm以上の幅で形成される。   The positive electrode plate 300 and the negative electrode plate 302 are respectively provided with uncoated portions (current collector portions) 306 and 308 at both ends in the X direction of the wound group 304. The positive external terminal 210 and the current collector 306, and the negative external terminal 220 and the current collector 308 are electrically connected via a current collector plate (not shown). The uncoated portions (current collecting portions) 306 and 308 are formed to be sufficiently wide, for example, each having a width of 10 mm or more from both ends of the wound group 304.

1個の扁平角形電池200の幅広面202における正極外部端子210と、幅広面204にける負極外部端子220とは、それぞれが幅広面202、204の中心軸Yに対して対称な位置の裏側(幅広面202、204は表裏の関係にあるため。)に対応する形状で形成される。すなわち、1個の扁平角形電池200において、幅広面202(表面)をY軸周りに180度回転したときの正極外部端子210は、幅広面204(裏側)の負極外部端子220に重なった箇所に位置する。   The positive external terminal 210 on the wide surface 202 of one flat prismatic battery 200 and the negative external terminal 220 on the wide surface 204 are on the back side of the positions symmetrical to the central axis Y of the wide surfaces 202 and 204 ( The wide surfaces 202 and 204 are formed in a shape corresponding to the front and back. That is, in one flat prismatic battery 200, the positive external terminal 210 when the wide surface 202 (front surface) is rotated 180 degrees around the Y axis overlaps the negative external terminal 220 on the wide surface 204 (back side). To position.

隣接する扁平角形電池200は、一の負極外部端子220が他方の正極外部端子210と対峙するように交互にX軸回りに180度回転して配置されている。   Adjacent flat rectangular batteries 200 are alternately rotated 180 degrees around the X axis so that one negative external terminal 220 faces the other positive external terminal 210.

なお、異なる形状の扁平角形電池200を含めた場合には、1個の扁平角形電池200における幅広面202の正極外部端子210の位置と、隣接配置される扁平角形電池200における幅広面204の負極外部端子220の位置とを、相互に鏡像となるように配置し、正極外部端子210、負極外部端子220を、接続のための対応した形状とすることによって、直列配列された扁平角形電池200のそれぞれの正極外部端子210は、隣接する扁平角形電池200の負極外部端子220に対向し、正極外部端子210、負極外部端子220とを相互に接続することができる。   When the flat rectangular battery 200 having a different shape is included, the position of the positive external terminal 210 of the wide surface 202 in one flat rectangular battery 200 and the negative electrode of the wide surface 204 in the adjacent flat rectangular battery 200 are included. The positions of the external terminals 220 are arranged so as to be mirror images of each other, and the positive electrode external terminal 210 and the negative electrode external terminal 220 have a corresponding shape for connection. Each positive external terminal 210 faces the negative external terminal 220 of the adjacent flat rectangular battery 200 and can connect the positive external terminal 210 and the negative external terminal 220 to each other.

正極外部端子210と負極外部端子220とは、レーザビーム溶接等により接合されて相互に電気的に接続される。正極外部端子210、負極外部端子220は同一形状、この実施の形態では矩形の平板状に形成され、集電部306、308の延在方向に沿って充分長く形成されている。これによって、断面積の大きな電流路を短く形成することとなり、正極外部端子210、負極外部端子220自体の電気抵抗が低減される。また、それぞれ集電部306、308と充分な接続面積が確保されることによって、接続部の電気抵抗が低減されている。   The positive external terminal 210 and the negative external terminal 220 are joined together by laser beam welding or the like and electrically connected to each other. The positive external terminal 210 and the negative external terminal 220 are formed in the same shape, which is a rectangular flat plate in this embodiment, and are formed sufficiently long along the extending direction of the current collectors 306 and 308. As a result, a current path having a large cross-sectional area is formed short, and the electrical resistance of the positive external terminal 210 and the negative external terminal 220 itself is reduced. Moreover, the electrical resistance of a connection part is reduced by ensuring sufficient connection area with the current collection parts 306 and 308, respectively.

以上のとおり、正極外部端子210と負極外部端子220をそれぞれ幅広面202、204に設けたことにより、捲回群304の集電部306と正極外部端子210との距離、集電部308と負極外部端子220との距離は、扁平形電池容器の厚みよりも短くなり、集電部と外部端子間の内部抵抗を低減することができる。すなわち、従来の扁平角型電池では、集電部306,308の延在方向と同方向に外部端子が電池細長面から外方に突設しており、外部端子と集電部とを接続する集電板の全長が長くなるので、電流路が長く、かつ、断面積が小さくなり、内部抵抗が大きくなる。   As described above, by providing the positive electrode external terminal 210 and the negative electrode external terminal 220 on the wide surfaces 202 and 204, respectively, the distance between the current collector 306 and the positive electrode external terminal 210 of the wound group 304, the current collector 308 and the negative electrode The distance to the external terminal 220 is shorter than the thickness of the flat battery container, and the internal resistance between the current collector and the external terminal can be reduced. That is, in the conventional flat rectangular battery, the external terminal protrudes outward from the elongated surface of the battery in the same direction as the extending direction of the current collectors 306 and 308, and connects the external terminal and the current collector. Since the total length of the current collector plate is increased, the current path is increased, the cross-sectional area is decreased, and the internal resistance is increased.

さらに、隣接する扁平形電池の一方の正極外部端子210が他方の負極外部端子220に直接接触しつつ、相互に電気的に接続され、従来のバスバー等の接続部材が介在しないので、正極外部端子210、負極外部端子220間の電気抵抗は極めて小さい。   Furthermore, since one positive external terminal 210 of an adjacent flat battery is in direct contact with the other negative external terminal 220 and is electrically connected to each other without a conventional connecting member such as a bus bar, the positive external terminal The electrical resistance between 210 and the negative external terminal 220 is extremely small.

すなわち、本実施形態の組電池の内部抵抗は、従来に比較して、大幅に低減される。   That is, the internal resistance of the assembled battery of the present embodiment is greatly reduced as compared with the conventional case.

また、以上の実施の形態の組電池では、同一の複数の扁平形電池を交互に表裏面を反対にするように配置し、隣接する扁平形電池の対向する幅広面の正極外部端子と負極外部端子を接合している。したがって、一種類の扁平形電池を作成すれば良いので、量産効果も期待できる。
[第2の実施の形態]
Moreover, in the assembled battery of the above embodiment, the same plurality of flat batteries are alternately arranged so that the front and back surfaces are opposite to each other, and the wide positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external of the adjacent flat battery are opposed to each other. The terminals are joined. Therefore, since only one type of flat battery needs to be created, a mass production effect can be expected.
[Second Embodiment]

次に、本発明による扁平角型電池および組電池の第2の実施の形態を、図4、図5を参照して説明する。なお、図中第1の実施の形態と同一若しくは相当部分には同一符号を付し、説明を省略する。   Next, a second embodiment of the flat rectangular battery and the assembled battery according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part which is the same as that of 1st Embodiment in the figure, or an equivalent, and abbreviate | omits description.

第2の実施の形態は、第1の実施の形態における正極外部端子、負極外部端子の形状を変更したものである。   In the second embodiment, the shapes of the positive external terminal and the negative external terminal in the first embodiment are changed.

図4、図5に示すように、正極外部端子211、負極外部端子221は、平板状の基部211A、221Aと、基部211A、221Aから、対向する幅広面202または204に向かって略垂直に突出する突片211B、221Bとを備えた略逆T字状に形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the positive external terminal 211 and the negative external terminal 221 protrude from the flat base portions 211A and 221A and the base portions 211A and 221A substantially vertically toward the facing wide surface 202 or 204. The protrusions 211B and 221B are formed in a substantially inverted T shape.

突片211B、221Bは、側面211S、221Sを相互に接した状態でスポット溶接等によって接合され、電気的に接続される。側面211S、221Sを接触させるために、突片211Bと221Bが先端面で衝突しないように、突片221Bを、突片211Bの厚さ分、基部221Aに対してX方向外方に変位して突設している。   The protruding pieces 211B and 221B are joined and electrically connected by spot welding or the like with the side surfaces 211S and 221S in contact with each other. In order to bring the side surfaces 211S and 221S into contact, the protruding piece 221B is displaced outward in the X direction with respect to the base portion 221A by the thickness of the protruding piece 211B so that the protruding pieces 211B and 221B do not collide at the tip surface. It is protruding.

なお、突辺221Bに代えて、突片211Bを変位させ、突片211B、221Bの両者を1/2の厚さづつ変位させ、あるいは、正極外部端子211または負極外部端子221の取り付け位置を変位させることも当然可能である。   Instead of the projecting side 221B, the projecting piece 211B is displaced, and both the projecting pieces 211B and 221B are displaced by 1/2 of the thickness, or the mounting position of the positive electrode external terminal 211 or the negative electrode external terminal 221 is displaced. Of course, it is also possible to make it.

第2の実施の形態は、第1の実施の形態の効果に加え、隣接する扁平形電池の外部端子同士を接続する際に、X方向の位置決めが容易であるという効果を奏する。
[第3の実施の形態]
In addition to the effect of the first embodiment, the second embodiment has an effect that positioning in the X direction is easy when connecting the external terminals of adjacent flat batteries.
[Third Embodiment]

次に、本発明による扁平角型電池および組電池の第3の実施の形態を、図6、図7を参照して説明する。なお、図中第1の実施の形態と同一若しくは相当部分には同一符号を付し、説明を省略する。   Next, a third embodiment of the flat rectangular battery and the assembled battery according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
