Description

本発明は、金属板と金属軸の結合構造、及びこれを用いた密閉型電池の電極構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a coupling structure of a metal plate and a metal shaft, and an electrode structure of a sealed battery using the same.

近年、車両搭載用電源として、軽量で高エネルギー密度が得られるリチウムイオン電池等の密閉型電池が注目されている。例えば特許文献1では、電極体及び電解質が電池ケース内に収容され、軸状の電極端子が、電池ケースに設けられた端子貫通孔と、電池ケースの表面に配置された金属板からなる外部端子に設けられた端子貫通孔とを順次に貫通して、ケースの内部から外部に引き出されている。しかしながら、金属板にも端子挿通孔が設けられているため、電池ケース内部の電解質等の外部への漏れ出しを抑制するためのシール構造が複雑になるという問題がある。   In recent years, a sealed battery such as a lithium ion battery that is lightweight and has a high energy density has attracted attention as a power source for mounting on a vehicle. For example, in Patent Document 1, an electrode body and an electrolyte are accommodated in a battery case, and an axial electrode terminal is an external terminal composed of a terminal through hole provided in the battery case and a metal plate disposed on the surface of the battery case. The terminal through-holes provided in the case are sequentially passed through and drawn out from the inside of the case. However, since the metal plate is also provided with the terminal insertion hole, there is a problem that the seal structure for suppressing leakage of the electrolyte inside the battery case to the outside is complicated.

ところで、金属板の貫通孔に金属軸を結合する技術としては、金属板の貫通孔に金属軸の小径端部を挿通させて、その小径端部の先端を僅かに金属板の表面より突出させ、その突出させた先端をプレスで押し潰して貫通孔の周縁に係合させる、かしめ法が一般的である。
一方、金属板に貫通孔を設けないで金属軸をかしめる技術が提案されている。例えば、特許文献2では、外周に多数の微小な縦溝やこれと交差する横溝を形成したり、あるいは文目のローレットを形成したりした金属軸の端部を、金属板の有底孔に押し込むとともに、金属軸の端部の外周に嵌合した筒状のカシメポンチを金属軸に沿って移動させることにより、金属板において有底孔の縁部を形成していた肉を、金属軸の縦溝や横溝に押入する技術が提案されている。他方、金属板の表面に金属軸の端面を当接させて、その当接面を溶融させて結合する溶接法がある。
By the way, as a technique for coupling the metal shaft to the through hole of the metal plate, the small diameter end portion of the metal shaft is inserted into the through hole of the metal plate, and the tip of the small diameter end portion is slightly protruded from the surface of the metal plate. The caulking method is generally used in which the projected tip is crushed by a press and engaged with the periphery of the through hole.
On the other hand, a technique for caulking a metal shaft without providing a through hole in a metal plate has been proposed. For example, in Patent Document 2, the end of the metal shaft, in which a large number of minute vertical grooves and transverse grooves intersecting with this are formed on the outer periphery, or a knurled line is formed on the bottomed hole of the metal plate. At the same time, the cylindrical caulking punch fitted to the outer periphery of the end of the metal shaft is moved along the metal shaft, so that the meat that forms the edge of the bottomed hole in the metal plate is Techniques for pushing into grooves and transverse grooves have been proposed. On the other hand, there is a welding method in which the end surface of the metal shaft is brought into contact with the surface of the metal plate, and the contact surface is melted and joined.

前記の溶接法では、熱歪み等の影響があるうえに金属軸の溶け込み量が一定でないため、金属板に対する金属軸の位置精度があまり良くない。また、製造コストが高い。
特許文献2では、下記の欠点がある。すなわち、車両に搭載される等で振動等の過酷な条件を考慮する必要がある場合、微小な縦溝やローレットでは、振動等の影響で、金属軸に緩みを生ずるおそれがある。また、カシメパンチを用いるため、金属軸とカシメパンチの位置精度のばらつきがカシメ量に影響し、金属板に対する金属軸の位置精度が悪くなるおそれがある。さらに、定期的にカシメパンチを新品と交換する必要があり、製造コストが高くなる。
In the above-described welding method, there is an influence of thermal distortion and the like, and the amount of penetration of the metal shaft is not constant, so the position accuracy of the metal shaft with respect to the metal plate is not very good. Moreover, the manufacturing cost is high.
Patent Document 2 has the following drawbacks. That is, when it is necessary to consider severe conditions such as vibration when mounted on a vehicle or the like, a minute vertical groove or knurled may cause loosening of the metal shaft due to the influence of vibration or the like. In addition, since the caulking punch is used, variation in the positional accuracy between the metal shaft and the caulking punch affects the caulking amount, and the positional accuracy of the metal shaft with respect to the metal plate may be deteriorated. Furthermore, it is necessary to periodically replace the caulking punch with a new one, which increases the manufacturing cost.

そこで、本発明の目的は、結合力が高く、位置精度に優れ且つ安価である、金属板と金属軸の結合構造、及びこれを含む密閉型電池の電極構造を提供することである。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a metal plate / metal shaft coupling structure and a sealed battery electrode structure including the same, which have a high coupling force, excellent positional accuracy, and are inexpensive.

また、請求項2のように、前記くびれ空間を区画する、前記多角形部の区画面(91)が、第1面に平行な平坦面であってもよい。
In addition, although the alphanumeric character in a parenthesis represents the corresponding component etc. in embodiment mentioned later, this does not mean that this invention should be limited to those embodiment as a matter of course. The same applies hereinafter.
Moreover, the flat screen parallel to the 1st surface may be sufficient as the division screen (91) of the said polygon part which divides the said constriction space like Claim 2.

また、請求項3のように、前記くびれ空間を区画する、前記案内部の区画面(101)が、第1面に平行な平坦面であってもよい According to a third aspect of the present invention, the section screen (101) of the guide section that divides the constricted space may be a flat surface parallel to the first surface .

また、請求項の発明は、第1面としての裏面及び第2面としての表面を有し、前記裏面に有底孔が形成された外部端子としての金属板(1A)と、電池ケース(21)内から引き出され、前記有底孔に圧入された内部端子としての金属軸(5A)とを備え、前記金属軸は、前記第1面に当接して前記第1面の変形を拘束した肩部を有する主体部と、前記有底孔に圧入された圧入端部と、を含み、前記圧入端部は、前記主体部に隣接して設けられ前記主体部の軸方向の投影空間内に配置された多角形部と、前記有底孔の底に当接した端面を有し前記多角形部の軸方向の投影空間内に配置されたテーパ状の案内部と、前記案内部と前記多角形部とを接続し前記案内部と前記多角形部との間にくびれ空間を形成する細径部と、を含み、前記多角形部は、前記有底孔の入口縁部を前記第2面側へ塑性変形させて前記入口縁部に食い込んでおり、前記金属板は、前記くびれ空間に入り込んだ塑性変形部を含む、密閉型電池(20)の電極構造(B)を提供する。 According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a metal plate (1A) as an external terminal having a back surface as a first surface and a front surface as a second surface and having a bottomed hole formed in the back surface, and a battery case ( 21) A metal shaft (5A) as an internal terminal drawn out from the inside and press-fitted into the bottomed hole, and the metal shaft is in contact with the first surface and restrains deformation of the first surface. A main body portion having a shoulder portion and a press-fit end portion press-fitted into the bottomed hole, the press-fit end portion being provided adjacent to the main body portion and in an axial projection space of the main body portion A polygonal portion disposed; a tapered guide portion having an end surface in contact with the bottom of the bottomed hole; and disposed in a projection space in an axial direction of the polygonal portion; the guide portion; A narrow-diameter portion connecting a square portion and forming a constricted space between the guide portion and the polygon portion, and the polygon Encloses the inlet edge of the bottomed hole plastically toward the second surface and bites into the inlet edge, and the metal plate includes a plastically deformed part that enters the constricted space. (20) An electrode structure (B) is provided.

請求項1の発明によれば、金属軸のくびれ空間に金属板の塑性変形部が入りこんで金属軸の軸方向への抜脱を防止しているとともに、多角形部が金属板の有底孔の入口縁部に食い込んで金属軸の回転を確実に規制しているので、金属板に対する金属軸の結合力を格段に高くすることができる。
また、金属軸の多角形部自体が、有底孔の入口縁部に食い込むので、当該入口縁部を圧入方向に押圧するための別途の治具(例えば特許文献2のカシメパンチ)が不要である。したがって、特許文献2のようにカシメパンチと軸との位置精度のばらつきの影響を受けないので、かしめ量の精度が良く、その結果、金属板に対する金属軸の位置精度を良くすることができる。また、カシメパンチの交換等が不要であり、製造コストを安くすることができる。
また、金属板の第2面において、案内部の軸方向の投影空間外に、多角形部の圧入による塑性変形痕が視認可能に形成されるので、圧入工程に関する検査を省略することが可能となり、製造コストを安くすることかできる。
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the plastic deformation portion of the metal plate enters the constricted space of the metal shaft to prevent the metal shaft from being pulled out in the axial direction, and the polygonal portion is a bottomed hole of the metal plate. Since the rotation of the metal shaft is reliably regulated by biting into the entrance edge of the metal plate, the coupling force of the metal shaft to the metal plate can be remarkably increased.
Further, since the polygonal portion of the metal shaft itself bites into the inlet edge of the bottomed hole, a separate jig for pressing the inlet edge in the press-fitting direction (for example, a caulking punch in Patent Document 2) is unnecessary. . Therefore, unlike Patent Document 2, it is not affected by variations in the positional accuracy between the caulking punch and the shaft, so that the accuracy of the caulking amount is good, and as a result, the positional accuracy of the metal shaft with respect to the metal plate can be improved. Further, it is not necessary to replace the caulking punch, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
In addition, on the second surface of the metal plate, plastic deformation marks due to the press-fitting of the polygonal part are formed so as to be visible outside the projection space in the axial direction of the guide part, so that it is possible to omit the inspection relating to the press-fitting process. Manufacturing costs can be reduced.

さらに、金属板の孔を有底孔としてあるので、金属板の表裏でシール性が要求される場合に、好適に用いることができる。
請求項2の発明によれば、くびれ空間を区画する多角形部の区画面を、第1面に平行な平坦面としたので、金属板に対する金属軸の直角度を精度良く実現することができる。
請求項3の発明によれば、くびれ空間を区画する案内部の区画面を、第1面に平行な平坦面としたので、金属板に対する金属軸の直角度を実現することができる。
Furthermore, since the hole of the metal plate is a bottomed hole, it can be suitably used when sealing properties are required on the front and back of the metal plate.
According to the invention of claim 2, since the section screen of the polygonal section that divides the constricted space is a flat surface parallel to the first surface, the squareness of the metal axis with respect to the metal plate can be realized with high accuracy. .
According to the invention of claim 3, since the section screen of the guide section that divides the constricted space is a flat surface parallel to the first surface, the squareness of the metal axis with respect to the metal plate can be realized.

請求項の発明によれば、請求項1と同じ効果を奏することができる。すなわち、外部端子(金属板)に対する内部端子(金属軸)の結合力が高く、また、外部端子(金属板)に対する内部端子(金属軸)の位置精度が高く、しかも製造コストを安くすることができる。また、金属板に端子貫通孔を設けないので、内部の電解質等の漏れ出しを防ぐためのシール構造を簡素化することができる密閉型電池の電極構造を実現することができる。 According to the invention of claim 4, the same effect as that of claim 1 can be obtained. That is, the coupling force of the internal terminal (metal shaft) with respect to the external terminal (metal plate) is high, the positional accuracy of the internal terminal (metal shaft) with respect to the external terminal (metal plate) is high, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. it can. Moreover, since the terminal through hole is not provided in the metal plate, it is possible to realize an electrode structure of a sealed battery that can simplify a sealing structure for preventing leakage of an internal electrolyte or the like.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partial sectional front view of a metal plate / metal shaft coupling structure A according to an embodiment of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1, the metal plate 1 has the 1st surface 2 and the 2nd surface 3 which are mutually parallel and oppose the plate | board thickness direction T1. A bottomed hole 4 is formed in the first surface 2 of the metal plate 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the metal shaft 5 is press-fitted into the bottomed hole 4 of the first surface 2 of the metal plate 1, so that the metal plate-metal shaft coupling structure A shown in FIG. 1 is configured. . The metal plate 1 is made of, for example, aluminum, and the metal shaft 5 is made of, for example, copper, and the hardness of both is relatively close.

図1、図2、図3(a)及び(b)、並びに図4(a)及び(b)に示すように、金属軸5は、中空丸棒状の主体部6と、有底孔4に圧入された圧入端部7とを備えている。金属軸5の主体部6は、金属板1の第1面2に当接して第1面2の変形を拘束した肩部8を有している。肩部8は第1面2に平行な平坦面に形成されている。主体部6の中空部は、圧入端部7とは反対側に開放されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 (a) and 3 (b) and FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the metal shaft 5 is formed in a hollow round bar-shaped main body 6 and a bottomed hole 4. And a press-fit end 7 that is press-fitted. The main portion 6 of the metal shaft 5 has a shoulder portion 8 that abuts against the first surface 2 of the metal plate 1 and restrains deformation of the first surface 2. The shoulder 8 is formed on a flat surface parallel to the first surface 2. The hollow portion of the main body portion 6 is opened to the side opposite to the press-fit end portion 7.

圧入端部7は、例えば略矩形の多角形部9と、テーパ状の案内部10と、細径部11とを、主体部6から金属軸5の先端側に向けて順次に有している。多角形部9は、主体部6に隣接して設けられ、図3(a)及び図4(a)に示すように、主体部6の軸方向X1の投影空間内に配置されている。多角形部9は、図1に示すように、有底孔4の入口縁部41を第2面3側へ塑性変形させて入口縁部41に食い込んでいる。本実施の形態では、多角形部が略矩形であるが、三角形であってもよいし、五角形以上であってもよい。   The press-fit end portion 7 has, for example, a substantially rectangular polygonal portion 9, a tapered guide portion 10, and a small diameter portion 11 sequentially from the main body portion 6 toward the tip end side of the metal shaft 5. . The polygonal portion 9 is provided adjacent to the main body 6 and is disposed in the projection space in the axial direction X1 of the main body 6 as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a). As shown in FIG. 1, the polygonal portion 9 bites into the inlet edge 41 by plastically deforming the inlet edge 41 of the bottomed hole 4 toward the second surface 3. In the present embodiment, the polygonal portion is substantially rectangular, but it may be a triangle or a pentagon or more.

細径部11は、多角形部9と案内部10とを接続し、多角形部9と案内部10との間に、くびれ空間S1を形成している。金属板1は、くびれ空間S1に入り込んだ塑性変形部12を含んでいる。くびれ空間S1を区画する、多角形部9の区画面91及び案内部10の区画面101は、第1面2に平行な平坦面により形成されている。
案内部10は、図1に示すように、有底孔4の底42に当接した端面102を有し、図3(a)及び図4(a)に示すように、多角形部9の軸方向X1の投影空間内に配置されている。有底孔4の底42及び案内部10の端面102は、第1面2に平行な平坦面により形成されている。
The small-diameter portion 11 connects the polygonal portion 9 and the guide portion 10, and forms a constricted space S <b> 1 between the polygonal portion 9 and the guide portion 10. The metal plate 1 includes a plastic deformation portion 12 that has entered the constricted space S1. The section screen 91 of the polygonal section 9 and the section screen 101 of the guide section 10 that define the constricted space S <b> 1 are formed by flat surfaces parallel to the first surface 2.
As shown in FIG. 1, the guide portion 10 has an end face 102 that is in contact with the bottom 42 of the bottomed hole 4, and as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a), the polygonal portion 9. It is arranged in the projection space in the axial direction X1. The bottom 42 of the bottomed hole 4 and the end surface 102 of the guide portion 10 are formed by flat surfaces parallel to the first surface 2.

中空丸棒状の主体部6の直径は、例えば4〜6mmの範囲内の所定値が採用されている。案内部10の直径は、例えば3〜4mmの範囲内の所定値が採用されている。略矩形をなす多角形部9の一辺の長さは、案内部10の直径と例えば略等しくされている。圧入端部7の高さ(軸長)は、金属板1の板厚(例えば2〜3mm)よりも、例えば0.4〜0.6mm程度小さくされている。多角形部9の高さ(軸長)は、圧入端部7の高さ(軸長)の例えば1/2に設定されている。細径部11の直径は、案内部10の直径よりも例えば1〜2mm程度小さくされている。細径部11の軸長は、例えば0.4〜0.5mmとされている。   A predetermined value within a range of 4 to 6 mm, for example, is employed as the diameter of the hollow round bar-shaped main body 6. As the diameter of the guide portion 10, a predetermined value within a range of 3 to 4 mm, for example, is adopted. For example, the length of one side of the polygonal portion 9 forming a substantially rectangular shape is substantially equal to the diameter of the guide portion 10. The height (axial length) of the press-fit end portion 7 is set to be, for example, about 0.4 to 0.6 mm smaller than the plate thickness (for example, 2 to 3 mm) of the metal plate 1. The height (axial length) of the polygonal portion 9 is set to, for example, ½ of the height (axial length) of the press-fit end portion 7. The diameter of the small diameter part 11 is made smaller than the diameter of the guide part 10 by about 1-2 mm, for example. The axial length of the small diameter part 11 is 0.4 to 0.5 mm, for example.

次いで、図5(a)〜(c)は金属板1と金属軸5とを結合させる工程を順次に示している。図5においての上下は実際の上下とは逆であってもよい。図5(a)に示すように、図示しないプレス機械の受け部によって第2面3が受けられた状態の金属板1の有底孔4に、金属軸5を圧入端部7側からプレスにより押し込む。金属軸5が圧入される前の有底孔4の直径D1は、案内部10の直径D2と同等かまたは若干大きく設定されている(D1≧D2)。また、金属軸5が圧入される前の有底孔4の直径D1は、多角形部の外接円の直径D3と同等または若干小さくされている(D1≦D3)。   Next, FIGS. 5A to 5C sequentially show the process of joining the metal plate 1 and the metal shaft 5 together. The upper and lower sides in FIG. 5 may be opposite to the actual vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 5A, the metal shaft 5 is pressed from the press-fit end portion 7 side into the bottomed hole 4 of the metal plate 1 in a state where the second surface 3 is received by a receiving portion of a press machine (not shown). Push in. The diameter D1 of the bottomed hole 4 before the metal shaft 5 is press-fitted is set to be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter D2 of the guide portion 10 (D1 ≧ D2). Further, the diameter D1 of the bottomed hole 4 before the metal shaft 5 is press-fitted is equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter D3 of the circumscribed circle of the polygonal part (D1 ≦ D3).

したがって、図5(b)に示すように、圧入端部7が有底孔4に押し込まれる途中の段階で、多角形部9により押された有底孔4の入口縁部41周辺の肉が、くびれ空間S1内に流れ込んで来る。
次いで、図5(c)に示すように、十分な量の肉が、多角形部9と案内部10との間のくびれ空間S1に入り込んだ状態で、案内部10の平坦面からなる端面102が、有底孔4の底42に当接することにより、金属軸5の圧入が完了し、金属板と軸の結合構造Aが完成する。
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the press-fit end 7 is being pushed into the bottomed hole 4, the meat around the inlet edge 41 of the bottomed hole 4 pushed by the polygonal part 9 is removed. , Flows into the constricted space S1.
Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), a sufficient amount of meat enters the constricted space S 1 between the polygonal portion 9 and the guide portion 10, and the end face 102 made of a flat surface of the guide portion 10. However, by abutting against the bottom 42 of the bottomed hole 4, the press-fitting of the metal shaft 5 is completed, and the metal plate / shaft coupling structure A is completed.

図6に示すように、圧入完了後の金属板1の第2面3において、案内部10の軸方向X1(図6において、紙面に直交する方向)の投影空間P外に、多角形部9の圧入による塑性変形痕13が視認可能に形成されている。塑性変形痕13は、第2面3の光沢に変化が見て取れる程度であり、第2面3の平面度としては、例えば5/100以下の精度が維持されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, on the second surface 3 of the metal plate 1 after completion of press-fitting, the polygonal portion 9 is outside the projection space P in the axial direction X1 of the guide portion 10 (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 6). The plastic deformation trace 13 due to the press-fitting is formed so as to be visible. The plastic deformation trace 13 is such that a change in the gloss of the second surface 3 can be seen, and the flatness of the second surface 3 is maintained at, for example, an accuracy of 5/100 or less.

本実施の形態によれば、図1に示すように、金属軸5のくびれ空間S1に金属板1の塑性変形部12が入りこんで金属軸5の軸方向X1への抜脱を防止しているとともに、多角形部9が金属板1の有底孔4の入口縁部41に食い込んで金属軸5の回転を確実に規制しているので、金属板1に対する金属軸5の結合力を格段に高くすることができる。
また、金属軸5の多角形部9自体が、有底孔4の入口縁部41に食い込むので、当該入口縁部41を圧入方向に押圧するための別途の治具(例えば特許文献2のカシメパンチ)が不要である。したがって、特許文献2のようにカシメパンチと軸との位置精度のばらつきの影響を受けないので、かしめ量の精度が良く、その結果、金属板1に対する金属軸5の位置精度を良くすることができる。また、カシメパンチの交換等が不要であり、製造コストを安くすることができる。
According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the plastic deformation portion 12 of the metal plate 1 enters the constricted space S1 of the metal shaft 5 to prevent the metal shaft 5 from being pulled out in the axial direction X1. At the same time, since the polygonal portion 9 bites into the inlet edge 41 of the bottomed hole 4 of the metal plate 1 and reliably controls the rotation of the metal shaft 5, the coupling force of the metal shaft 5 to the metal plate 1 is markedly increased. Can be high.
Further, since the polygonal portion 9 itself of the metal shaft 5 bites into the inlet edge 41 of the bottomed hole 4, a separate jig for pressing the inlet edge 41 in the press-fitting direction (for example, the caulking punch of Patent Document 2) ) Is not required. Therefore, unlike Patent Document 2, it is not affected by variations in the positional accuracy between the caulking punch and the shaft, so that the accuracy of the caulking amount is good, and as a result, the positional accuracy of the metal shaft 5 with respect to the metal plate 1 can be improved. . Further, it is not necessary to replace the caulking punch, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

さらに、金属板1の孔を有底孔4としてあるので、金属板1の表裏でシール性が要求される場合に、好適に用いることができる。
また、くびれ空間S1を区画する多角形部9の区画面91を、第1面2に平行な平坦面としたので、金属板1に対する金属軸5の直角度を精度良く実現することができる。また、くびれ空間S1を区画する案内部10の区画面101を、第1面2に平行な平坦面としたので、この点からも、金属板1に対する金属軸5の直角度を精度良く実現することができる。また、有底孔4の底42及び案内部10の端面102を、第1面2に平行な平坦面としたので、この点からも、金属板1に対する金属軸5の直角度を精度良く実現することができる。
Furthermore, since the hole of the metal plate 1 is the bottomed hole 4, it can be suitably used when sealing properties are required on the front and back of the metal plate 1.
Moreover, since the section screen 91 of the polygonal part 9 that partitions the constricted space S1 is a flat surface parallel to the first surface 2, the squareness of the metal shaft 5 with respect to the metal plate 1 can be realized with high accuracy. Moreover, since the section screen 101 of the guide portion 10 that partitions the constricted space S1 is a flat surface parallel to the first surface 2, the squareness of the metal shaft 5 with respect to the metal plate 1 can be accurately realized from this point. be able to. Further, since the bottom 42 of the bottomed hole 4 and the end surface 102 of the guide portion 10 are flat surfaces parallel to the first surface 2, the squareness of the metal shaft 5 with respect to the metal plate 1 can be accurately realized from this point. can do.

また、図6に示すように、金属板1の第2面3において、案内部10の軸方向X1の投影空間外に、多角形部9の圧入による塑性変形痕13が視認可能に形成されるので、圧入工程に関する検査を省略することが可能となり、製造コストを安くすることかできる。
次いで、図7は金属板と金属軸の結合構造Aが適用された密閉型電池の電極構造Bを示している。図7に示すように、密閉型電池20は、例えば直方体形状をなす外装容器しての電池ケース21と、電池ケース21の端子配置面22に配置された一対の外部端子としての金属板1Aと、金属板1Aの表面としての第2面3に突出形成された電極棒23とを備えている。一方の金属板1Aとこれに形成された電極棒23が正極を構成し、他方の金属板1Aとこれに形成された電極棒23が負極を構成している。
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, on the second surface 3 of the metal plate 1, a plastic deformation mark 13 due to the press-fitting of the polygonal portion 9 is formed so as to be visible outside the projection space in the axial direction X1 of the guide portion 10. Therefore, it is possible to omit the inspection relating to the press-fitting process, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
Next, FIG. 7 shows an electrode structure B of a sealed battery to which a coupling structure A of a metal plate and a metal shaft is applied. As shown in FIG. 7, the sealed battery 20 includes, for example, a battery case 21 as an outer container having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a metal plate 1 </ b> A as a pair of external terminals arranged on the terminal arrangement surface 22 of the battery case 21. The electrode rod 23 is formed to protrude from the second surface 3 as the surface of the metal plate 1A. One metal plate 1A and the electrode rod 23 formed thereon constitute a positive electrode, and the other metal plate 1A and the electrode rod 23 formed thereon constitute a negative electrode.

図8に示すように、電池ケース21の端子配置面22に凹部24が形成され、その凹部24に、金属板1Aの少なくとも一部が収容されている。凹部24の底241及び内壁面242とこれに対向する金属板1Aの第1面2(裏面)及び側面25との間には、絶縁性の例えばゴムからなるシール部材26が介在している。
電池ケース21には、端子貫通孔27が形成されており、内部端子としての金属軸5Aの圧入端部7が、端子挿通孔27に挿通され、金属板1Aの第1面2(裏面2)の有底孔4に圧入されている。シール部材26は、端子貫通孔27を挿通した金属軸5Aを取り囲んだ状態で、金属板1Aの第1面2と電池ケース21の凹部24の底241との間に弾性的に挟持されることで、金属板1Aにおける金属軸5Aの貫通部分をシールしている。
As shown in FIG. 8, a recess 24 is formed in the terminal arrangement surface 22 of the battery case 21, and at least a part of the metal plate 1 </ b> A is accommodated in the recess 24. Between the bottom 241 and the inner wall surface 242 of the recess 24 and the first surface 2 (back surface) and the side surface 25 of the metal plate 1A opposite to the bottom 241, an insulating seal member 26 made of, for example, rubber is interposed.
A terminal through hole 27 is formed in the battery case 21, and the press-fit end portion 7 of the metal shaft 5A as an internal terminal is inserted into the terminal insertion hole 27, and the first surface 2 (back surface 2) of the metal plate 1A. The bottomed hole 4 is press-fitted. The seal member 26 is elastically sandwiched between the first surface 2 of the metal plate 1A and the bottom 241 of the recess 24 of the battery case 21 in a state of surrounding the metal shaft 5A inserted through the terminal through hole 27. Thus, the penetrating portion of the metal shaft 5A in the metal plate 1A is sealed.

本実施形態によれば、図1〜図6の実施形態と同じ効果を奏することができる。すなわち、外部端子(金属板1A)に対する内部端子(金属軸5A)の結合力が高く、また、外部端子(金属板1A)に対する内部端子(金属軸5A)の位置精度が高く、しかも製造コストを安くすることができる。また、金属板1Aに端子貫通孔を設けないので、内部の電解質等の漏れ出しを防ぐためのシール構造を簡素化することができて、安価な密閉型電池の電極構造Bを実現することができる。   According to this embodiment, the same effect as the embodiment of FIGS. That is, the coupling force of the internal terminal (metal shaft 5A) to the external terminal (metal plate 1A) is high, the positional accuracy of the internal terminal (metal shaft 5A) to the external terminal (metal plate 1A) is high, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
