- the arrangement direction of the plurality of electrode bodies 2 is the arrangement direction B
- the direction orthogonal to B is defined as the orthogonal direction C.
- the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment is, for example, a rechargeable secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, or a nickel-cadmium battery, or a capacitor such as an electric double layer capacitor.
- the power storage device 1 has a plurality of electrode bodies 2 and a film exterior body 4.
- the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment includes eight electrode bodies 2, but the number thereof is not particularly limited and may be two or more.
- Each electrode body 2 has a cylindrical shape, and has a spirally wound structure in which a band-shaped first electrode plate and a band-shaped second electrode plate are laminated with a separator between electrodes interposed therebetween.
- the first electrode plate is a negative electrode plate
- the second electrode plate is a positive electrode plate.
- the first electrode lead 8 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate.
- the second electrode lead 10 is electrically connected to the second electrode plate.
- the first electrode lead 8 and the second electrode lead 10 have a band shape (a rectangular shape long in one direction), and one end of each is welded to each electrode plate.
- the postures of the plurality of electrode bodies 2 are determined so that the axial center directions A of the electrode bodies 2 are parallel to each other, and the plurality of electrode bodies 2 are arranged in the arrangement direction B at predetermined intervals.
- the plurality of electrode bodies 2 are wrapped in a common film exterior body 4.
- the film exterior body 4 has, for example, a structure in which two laminated films are laminated. Each laminated film has a structure in which a thermoplastic resin sheet is laminated on both sides of a metal sheet such as aluminum. Further, the film exterior body 4 has a plurality of accommodating portions 12 and a sealing portion 14. The plurality of accommodating portions 12 are arranged in the arrangement direction B at predetermined intervals. Each accommodating portion 12 has a cylindrical shape, and each electrode body 2 is individually wrapped and accommodated. Each accommodating portion 12 is composed of a bag portion provided on the film exterior body 4. The bag portion is a portion of the two laminated films separated from each other. Therefore, each accommodating portion 12 projects from the sealing portion 14 along the shape of the side surface of the electrode body 2. The electrolytic solution 16 is accommodated in each accommodating portion 12 together with the electrode body 2.
- the sealing portion 14 surrounds the outer periphery of each accommodating portion 12 and seals each accommodating portion 12.
- the sealing portion 14 is composed of, for example, a welded portion of a thermoplastic resin sheet.
- the welded portion is obtained by thermocompression bonding the outer periphery of the bag portion of the film exterior 4 and welding the thermoplastic resin sheets of the two laminated films together.
- the sealing portion 14 seals each accommodating portion 12 and connects a plurality of accommodating portions 12 to each other.
- first electrode lead 8 and the second electrode lead 10 on the side opposite to the side connected to the electrode body 2 project to the outside of the film exterior body 4.
- the interface between each electrode lead and the film exterior 4 is sealed with a known sealant.
- the first electrode lead 8 and the second electrode lead 10 connected to each electrode body 2 project to the opposite sides in the axial direction A. Further, each first electrode lead 8 projects to the same side.
- the film exterior 4 bends or bends between adjacent accommodating portions 12 and meanders in the arrangement direction B. That is, the film exterior body 4, more specifically, the sealing portion 14 extends substantially in a zigzag manner when viewed from the axial direction A.
- the film exterior 4 By folding the film exterior 4 in a zigzag manner, the distance between the accommodating portions 12 in the arrangement direction B can be narrowed as compared with the state before folding, and therefore the length of the power storage device 1 in the arrangement direction B can be shortened. Can be done.
- the plurality of accommodating portions 12 of the present embodiment are arranged so that their centers are aligned on the same straight line when viewed from the axial direction A in a state where the film exterior body 4 is meandering.
- the sealing portion 14 bent in a zigzag shape is accommodated inside the accommodating portion 12 in the orthogonal direction C.
- the centers of the plurality of accommodating portions 12 do not necessarily have to be located on the same straight line.
- the sealing portion 14 has a pair of first side portions 14a and a pair of second side portions 14b that surround each accommodating portion 12.
- the pair of first side portions 14a are arranged in the axial center direction A with the respective accommodating portions 12 interposed therebetween, and seal the end portions of the respective accommodating portions 12 in the axial center direction A.
- the first side portion 14a of the present embodiment extends linearly through the center of the accommodating portion 12 when viewed from the axial direction A.
- the pair of second side portions 14b are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the axial center direction A with each accommodating portion 12 interposed therebetween, and extend in the axial center direction A to connect the pair of first side portions 14a.
- the two second side portions 14b located between the two adjacent accommodating portions 12 are connected to each other at a predetermined angle ⁇ , that is, in a non-linear manner. Further, the directions in which the connecting portions of the two second side portions 14b are bent are staggered in the plurality of connecting portions arranged in the arrangement direction B. As a result, the film exterior body 4 extends in a zigzag manner in the arrangement direction B.
- FIGS. 4 (A) to 4 (C) are process diagrams of a method for manufacturing the power storage device 1.
- the first laminating film 20a is prepared.
- a plurality of semi-cylindrical recesses 18 are preliminarily formed in the first laminating film 20a.
- the plurality of recesses 18 are formed by, for example, subjecting the first laminated film 20a to a known process such as press working.
- the electrode body 2 is placed in each recess 18.
- the first electrode lead 8 and the second electrode lead 10 are connected to the electrode body 2 in advance.
- a sealant (not shown) is provided on the first electrode lead 8 and the second electrode lead 10.
- the second laminating film 20b is superposed on the first laminating film 20a to form the film exterior body 4.
- the second laminating film 20b is provided with a semi-cylindrical recess 18 at a position facing each recess 18 of the first laminating film 20a. Therefore, by superimposing the first laminating film 20a and the second laminating film 20b, the bag portion, in other words, the accommodating portion 12, is formed by the pair of recesses 18.
