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. In general, as a power source of this type, a cylindrical battery using an electrode group in which a band-shaped electrode is spirally wound is used. In order to achieve a high energy density, it is necessary to make the length of the wound electrode sheet as long as possible and to make a uniform spiral electrode. However, since the electrode leads connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery have different thickness and rigidity from the current collector itself and the electrode part coated with the active material, the electrode lead weld has a different curvature from other parts. Or it may bend. To solve these problems, it is described in JP-A-2-132758 that the electrode leads are previously processed to have a predetermined curvature. However, in this method, a step of giving curvature to the electrode lead is required, and the path length of the winding machine becomes long, and since the current collector in which the lead having a curvature is welded is conveyed, troubles such as winding misalignment and catching occur. Likely to happen.

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.

In a low-humidity atmosphere (dew point: -50 ° C), the positive electrode and negative electrode obtained above were dehydrated and dried (far infrared heater, 150 ° C, 2 hours), and then cut into a predetermined size to prepare a negative electrode sheet. A lead plate made of nickel was ultrasonically welded to the uncoated portion. Further, a lead plate was ultrasonically welded to the exposed portion of the 20 μm thick aluminum current collector of the positive electrode sheet. The lead plate is an annealed aluminum product JIS-IN30H-
O, having a width of 4 mm, a thickness of 0.1 mm and a length of 75 mm was used. For ultrasonic welding, position the exposed part of the positive electrode current collector on an iron floor (anvil) with many fine irregularities on the surface, place a strip-shaped lead tab on top of it, and place it on an ultrasonic welding machine. (Branson, 20 kHz, 200
(0 W) while applying an ultrasonic horn at a pressure of 0.5 MPa for 75 msec, ultrasonic vibration with an amplitude of 22 μm was applied for welding. The pressure surface of the ultrasonic horn is 2.5 mm x 4
It has a rectangular shape of 8 mm and is provided with fine uneven surfaces at a pitch of 0.4 mm. After the welding, an insulating tape having a width of 12 mm was attached over the circumference at the position of the lead corresponding to the vicinity of the end face in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode sheet. As the insulating tape, an adhesive tape having a polyimide base material and a silicone adhesive material was used.

Using the obtained positive electrode sheet with a lead, separator and negative electrode sheet, the winding core diameter of the winding machine is 3.5.
The separator was wound at a tension of 150 g for the separator and 300 g for the positive and negative electrode sheets. When the winding tension was increased, the roundness was improved but the internal short circuit increased. The positive electrode lead was wound so that the central part of the spiral electrode and the negative electrode lead were located on the outer peripheral part to form a spiral electrode group A. Electrode groups B to K were prepared by changing the material and shape of the positive electrode lead as shown in the table below. Here, 1N30H-O represents an annealed product, and 1N30H represents an unannealed product. The α value in the table represents B / 2t 3 . Curvature processing of the lead is performed by sandwiching the positive electrode lead welded to the current collector in an upper die having a semi-cylindrical protrusion and a lower die having a corresponding semi-cylindrical depression, and pressurizing it in the width direction of the lead. A roundness of R 1.75 mm was added. In the roundness evaluation, the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter of the electrode group were measured by a laser displacement meter and the difference was observed. Further, the electrode group was solidified with a resin and then cut to observe the curvature of the positive electrode lead with a microscope for sensory evaluation.
Further, the winding appropriateness was evaluated by evaluating the transportability of the positive electrode sheet with the positive electrode lead at the time of winding and showing the number of catches when producing 50 batteries.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION When winding a positive electrode sheet having a positive electrode lead welded, it is possible to eliminate troubles such as getting caught in the conveying path. Since the pressing step for giving the lead a curvature corresponding to the winding core diameter after welding can be omitted, the path length can be shortened and troubles such as winding misalignment can be reduced. By improving the roundness of the winding group, it is possible to reduce troubles such as insertion of the winding group into the battery can and terminal welding of the positive and negative electrode leads. Further, the uniformity of the battery performance is improved by making the electrode plate distance of the winding group uniform.
