2. Description of the Related Art Cylindrical nickel-metal hydride secondary batteries are used as power sources for mobile phones and notebook computers. This cylindrical nickel-metal hydride secondary battery generally has a structure including an electrode group in which a positive electrode containing nickel hydroxide and a negative electrode containing a hydrogen storage alloy are spirally wound via a separator.

By the way, there is an urgent need to increase the production speed of cylindrical nickel-metal hydride secondary batteries in response to recent large demand. As one of the methods, conventionally, an electrode group is manufactured and held in a pair of electrode group holding blocks. That is, in this method, a separator was interposed between a positive electrode coated with a positive electrode layer containing nickel hydroxide on an alkali-resistant metal porous body and a negative electrode coated with a negative electrode layer containing a hydrogen storage alloy on a punched metal substrate. After that, the laminate is spirally wound so that the negative electrode is located outside in a pair of electrode group holding blocks arranged horizontally facing each other, and the spirally wound electrode group is formed by the pair of blocks. The electrode group is produced while holding the outer peripheral surface.

[0004] In the latter winding step in the above-described fabrication of the electrode group, the winding end end of the electrode group and the outer peripheral surface facing the sliding end are in sliding contact with the pair of blocks, respectively. The sliding contact force with respect to the block is greater at the upper end and at the end of the winding. In manufacturing such an electrode group, the negative electrode disposed outside the electrode group has a structure in which the entire punched metal substrate is covered with a negative electrode layer containing a hydrogen storage alloy, and thus the negative electrode is slid in contact with the block with a large force. There has been a problem that the defect that the negative electrode layer peels off and falls off at the end end frequently occurs.

[0005] Further, in manufacturing the electrode group, the winding start end portion has a small radius of curvature and is bent along the hole of the punched metal substrate, so that the negative electrode layer portion located in the bent hole is bent. Comes off and peels off. The negative electrode material (mainly a hydrogen storage alloy) peeled off from the winding start end is held on the punched substrate by a winding core or the like at the time of forming an electrode group, but the electrode material is placed in a bottomed cylindrical container also serving as a negative electrode terminal. The electrode group drops off to the bottom of the container due to loosening of the wound state of the electrode group when the group is housed. When the negative electrode material falls off at the bottom of the container, the negative electrode material comes into contact with the positive electrode of the electrode group and causes an internal short circuit.

Occupies an area of 10 to 25% with respect to the entire substrate 3, and the uncoated portions at the winding start end and the winding end end occupy an area of 3 to 20% with respect to the substrate, respectively. Is preferred. The reason for limiting the area ratio of the uncoated portion is as follows. The plain part 1,
If the area ratio of the whole of No. 2 is less than 10% and the area ratio of the individual uncoated portions is less than 3%, the negative electrode layer will fall off at the winding start end and the winding end when manufacturing the electrode group. There is fear.

According to such a method of the present invention, a negative electrode is formed by coating a negative electrode layer containing a hydrogen storage alloy on a punched metal substrate having uncoated portions at the winding start end and the winding end end. When winding the laminate of the negative electrode, the separator, and the positive electrode in the above-described pair of electrode group holding blocks, the winding start end that is bent with a small radius of curvature is a solid portion without a hole. In addition, the coated negative electrode layer does not float due to the bending, and as a result, the negative electrode layer can be prevented from peeling off from the punched metal substrate.

Further, in the latter winding step in the production of the electrode group 8 shown in FIG. 3, the outermost peripheral portion of the electrode group 8 (the winding end portion and the portion facing the same) is formed by the pair of blocks 21 1 , respectively 21 2 sliding contact. In this sliding contact, due to the structure of the spiral electrode group 8, the sliding contact force with respect to the block (for example, the right block 21 1 ) is larger at the end portion of the winding. In manufacturing such an electrode group, as shown in FIG. 1, the punched metal substrate 3 constituting the negative electrode 5 disposed outside the electrode group has the uncoated portion 2 on the end side of the winding end, and because the layer 4 is the non-coating portion 2 is covered so as to expose, it said block 21 1 may be in sliding contact with the uncoated portion 2 in the absence of negative electrode layer 4. As a result, it is possible to prevent the negative electrode layer from peeling off or falling off at the end of winding.
