2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to the high performance, miniaturization, and portability of electronic devices, the batteries used as the power source have been
Secondary batteries with high energy density have been required to replace conventional nickel-cadmium batteries and lead-acid batteries. Therefore, recently, a nickel hydrogen battery using a hydrogen storage alloy for the negative electrode and a non-aqueous secondary battery using a substance capable of inserting and releasing a light metal for the positive electrode and the negative electrode have been used. In particular, the sealed non-aqueous secondary battery that applies the insertion and release of lithium has a high battery voltage of 3.6 V and a high energy density, so the battery can be made smaller and lighter, and self-discharge is less and cycle characteristics are improved. Since it is also excellent, the demand for it as a power source for portable devices is rapidly increasing. Generally, as a power source of this type, a cylindrical or prismatic sealed battery in which a strip-shaped electrode is spirally wound is used, so charging / discharging at high current is possible, and therefore safety is not sufficient. It has been designed with consideration. One of them is an insulator disposed between the electrode group housed in the battery outer can and the battery lid, which is effective in preventing an internal short circuit when the battery is dropped.

As the insulator, a nickel cadmium battery, a nickel hydride battery, or the like is a disk-shaped insulator having a through hole in the center as shown in FIG. Such a resin molded body having an annular wall in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion as shown in FIG. 4 has been widely used. Since the structure of the non-aqueous secondary battery is almost the same as that of the nickel-cadmium battery or the nickel-hydrogen battery, the same insulator is mostly used. However, in the case of a non-aqueous secondary battery, a strip-shaped electrode that is thinner and longer than that of the above-mentioned battery is often used, so that the center part of the electrode group is easily displaced when the battery is dropped, and an internal short circuit is likely to occur. There's a problem. In order to solve this problem, a battery according to JP-A-5-41248 has been proposed in which a disk-shaped separator having a shape similar to that of FIG. 3 and a thickness of 2.0 to 2.3 mm is used. In this case, it is possible to effectively prevent the electrode group from being displaced upward when the battery is dropped.

On the other hand, in the case of a non-aqueous secondary battery, as described above, since a thin and long strip electrode is used,
Electrolyte permeability of the wound electrode group is very poor, it takes a long time to inject the electrolyte when assembling the battery, which makes the injection device very large and also because it is a non-aqueous electrolyte. Due to its high volatility, there is a problem that it is difficult to control the accuracy of the liquid injection amount. This is also the case with non-aqueous primary batteries, which are cylindrical lithium manganese dioxide batteries, and as a means to solve this problem, a proposal was made to devise the shape of the insulator placed on the upper surface of the electrode group. Have been made, and can also be used in the case of non-aqueous secondary batteries. As a battery according to Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-46360, as shown in FIG. 5, it is proposed that at least one notch is formed in the outer peripheral portion of a disk-shaped insulator, and in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-62360. In the battery according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. -103169, as shown in FIG. 6, there has been proposed an insulator having an annular wall in the vicinity of an outer peripheral portion and a through hole provided in a flange portion of the outer peripheral portion. In either case, during injection of the electrolyte, the air or inert gas inside the battery outer can easily escapes from the outer periphery of the electrode group through the notch of the insulator or through the through hole of the outer collar. Is effective in facilitating penetration into the electrode group.

However, in the insulators according to Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-46360 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-103169, when the battery is dropped, the center portion of the electrode group is easily displaced and an internal short circuit is easily caused. The strength and the structure are insufficient, and the insulator according to JP-A-5-41248 cannot provide any help to the problem of poor liquid permeability at the time of injecting the electrolyte. Another problem occurs in that the electrode group storage volume cannot be increased.

As described above, in the case of the non-aqueous secondary battery, the electrodes used are often thinner and longer in strip shape than those of the nickel-cadmium battery or the nickel-hydrogen battery, and therefore the electrolysis of the wound electrode group is performed. The liquid permeability is very poor, and it takes a long time to inject the electrolyte solution when assembling the battery, which not only makes the injection device very large, but also because it is a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, it is highly volatile. It is difficult to control the accuracy of the liquid volume. In order to solve this, if many through holes are provided in the insulator arranged on the upper surface of the electrode group, the strength of the insulator is reduced, and an internal short circuit easily occurs due to the displacement of the electrode group when the battery is dropped. turn into. On the contrary, if the through holes provided in the insulator are made as small as possible and the thickness is increased, the strength is increased, but the electrolyte permeability of the electrode group is reduced.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The sealed non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention has good electrolyte permeability of the electrode group, can inject the electrolyte during battery assembly in a short time, and also prevents internal short circuit when the battery is dropped. It has a configuration that can. That is, in the insulator arranged on the upper surface of the electrode group, the bottom surface of the central plane portion formed on the inner peripheral portion of the annular wall is located above the bottom surface of the flange portion formed on the outer peripheral portion of the annular wall, The flange has a plurality of through holes. Furthermore, since there are through holes in the center of the central plane and its surroundings, air or inert gas inside the battery case can easily escape through these through holes when the electrolyte is injected, and the electrolyte penetrates into the electrode group. Easier to do. Further, since the flat portion exists in the central portion of the insulator, it is possible to minimize the displacement of the electrode group when the battery is dropped. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a sealed non-aqueous secondary battery that has high assembly workability and high safety.

The batteries of the examples according to the present invention and the conventional examples configured as described above were subjected to a drop test from a height of 1 m onto concrete 30 times, and then the open circuit voltage of the batteries was measured at room temperature for 5 days. I went on continuously. The battery was dropped in such a manner that the terminal cap side, the lateral side, and the bottom side of the battery outer can were set downward, and the three directions were repeated once in sequence (the number of drop tests was 20

According to the above result table, battery 11 and battery 1
In the case of 3, battery 14, and battery 15, it is clear that the center portion of the electrode group is largely displaced and the strength of the insulator at the corresponding portion is insufficient. On the other hand, in the case of the battery 12,
Since the strength of the insulator was high, no abnormalities were found in the drop test, but it is clearly seen that the air escape during injection of the electrolyte was poor. In the case of the batteries 1 to 10 according to this embodiment, the collar portion of the insulator has a thickness of 0.3 mm or more, and the central plane portion has a thickness of 0.5 mm or more, so that safety at the time of dropping is ensured. Further, it is understood that the step between the lower surface of the collar portion and the lower surface of the central plane portion is 0.3 mm or more, and the time for injecting the electrolytic solution can be significantly shortened. If the step size exceeds 1 mm, it becomes impossible to effectively suppress the deviation of the central portion of the electrode group.
