Inject liquid.

特許文献1に示されているリチウムイオン二次電池では、1つの電池ケース内に2つの発電要素が同じ向きに配置されている。2つの発電要素のそれぞれでは、発電要素の一方の端部において複数の正極が束ねられているとともに、発電要素の他方の端部において複数の負極が束ねられている。以降では、複数の正極のうち束ねられている部分のことを正極のタブ部と呼び、複数の負極のうち束ねられている部分のことを負極のタブ部と呼ぶこととする。   In the lithium ion secondary battery disclosed in Patent Document 1, two power generation elements are arranged in the same direction in one battery case. In each of the two power generation elements, a plurality of positive electrodes are bundled at one end of the power generation element, and a plurality of negative electrodes are bundled at the other end of the power generation element.

However, the positive electrode current collector may extend in a direction shifted from a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the flat surface of the cover plate extends. In this case, when the positive electrode current collector is inserted between the positive electrode tab portions, the positive electrode current collector collides with the positive electrode tab portion or the positive electrode, and the positive electrode current collector is interposed between the positive electrode tab portions. In some cases, it could not be inserted easily. Similarly to the positive electrode current collector, the negative electrode current collector collides with the negative electrode tab part or the negative electrode, and the negative electrode current collector cannot be easily inserted between the negative electrode tab parts. was there.

Therefore, the direction in which the negative electrode current collector 300 extends from the lid member 400 is deviated from the Y minus direction described above with reference to FIG. 6, that is, the direction in which the plane of the lid member 400 extends (in FIG. 6). This deviation can be corrected even if it deviates from a direction orthogonal to the direction on the XZ plane.

以上の構成を備える電池製造装置1の動作について、図9から図13を用いて以下に詳述する。   The operation of the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13.

図9は、正極集電体矯正部20を正極集電体200に嵌合させるとともに、負極集電体矯正部40を負極集電体300に嵌合させた状態を示す図である。図9において、図2から8で示した方向に合わせて、右方に向かう向きをXプラス方向とし、紙面手前向きをYプラス方向とし、下方に向かう向きをZプラス方向とする。正極集電体矯正部20は、Z方向に延在する基部21と、基部21からXマイナス方向に突出する突出部22と、を備え、負極集電体矯正部40は、Z方向に延在する基部41と、基部41からXプラス方向に突出する突出部42と、を備える。   FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the positive electrode current collector correction part 20 is fitted to the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector correction part 40 is fitted to the negative electrode current collector 300. In FIG. 9, in accordance with the directions shown in FIGS. 2 to 8, the rightward direction is the X plus direction, the front side of the paper is the Y plus direction, and the downward direction is the Z plus direction. The positive electrode current collector correction portion 20 includes a base portion 21 extending in the Z direction and a protruding portion 22 protruding from the base portion 21 in the X minus direction, and the negative electrode current collector correction portion 40 extends in the Z direction. And a protruding portion 42 that protrudes from the base 41 in the X plus direction.

電池製造装置1は、まず、図9に示すように、正極集電体200のコの字形の凹部に突出部22をはめこむとともに、負極集電体300のコの字形の凹部に突出部42をはめこむ。これによれば、正極集電体矯正部20が正極集電体200に嵌合されるとともに、負極集電体矯正部40が負極集電体300に嵌合されることになる。   First, as shown in FIG. 9, the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 inserts the protrusion 22 into the U-shaped recess of the positive electrode current collector 200, and also protrudes into the U-shaped recess of the negative electrode current collector 300. Fit. According to this, the positive electrode current collector correction part 20 is fitted to the positive electrode current collector 200, and the negative electrode current collector correction part 40 is fitted to the negative electrode current collector 300.

図10は、正極集電体200および負極集電体300の位置ずれを矯正している状態を示す側面図である。図10において、図2から9で示した方向に合わせて、右方に向かう向きをXプラス方向とし、上方に向かう向きをYプラス方向とし、紙面手前向きをZプラス方向とする。正極集電体矯正部20の基部21および負極集電体矯正部40の基部41は、図9を用いて上述したようにZ方向に延在しているだけでなく、図10に示すようにY方向にも延在している。また、正極集電体矯正部20の突出部22および負極集電体矯正部40の突出部42は、図9を用いて上述したようにZ方向に延在しているだけでなく、後述の図13に示すようにY方向にも延在している。   FIG. 10 is a side view showing a state in which the positional deviation between the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300 is corrected. In FIG. 10, in accordance with the directions shown in FIGS. 2 to 9, the rightward direction is the X plus direction, the upward direction is the Y plus direction, and the front side of the drawing is the Z plus direction. The base portion 21 of the positive electrode current collector correction portion 20 and the base portion 41 of the negative electrode current collector correction portion 40 not only extend in the Z direction as described above with reference to FIG. 9, but also as shown in FIG. It also extends in the Y direction. Further, the protruding portion 22 of the positive electrode current collector correcting portion 20 and the protruding portion 42 of the negative electrode current collector correcting portion 40 not only extend in the Z direction as described above with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, it also extends in the Y direction.

電池製造装置1は、次に、図10に示すように、正極集電体200に嵌合されている正極集電体矯正部20を、蓋部材400のうち正極集電体200が固定されている部分からYマイナス方向に延伸する線分に沿って、所定位置に配置するとともに、負極集電体300に嵌合されている負極集電体矯正部40を、蓋部材400のうち負極集電体300が固定されている部分からYマイナス方向に延伸する線分に沿って、所定位置に配置する。これによれば、正極集電体矯正部20および負極集電体矯正部40により、正極集電体200および負極集電体300の位置ずれが矯正され、正極集電体200および負極集電体300が、蓋部材400の平面が延在する向きと直交する向きに延在することになる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 is configured such that the positive electrode current collector correcting portion 20 fitted to the positive electrode current collector 200 is fixed to the positive electrode current collector 200 of the lid member 400. The negative electrode current collector correction portion 40 that is disposed at a predetermined position along the line segment extending in the Y minus direction from the existing portion and is fitted to the negative electrode current collector 300 is connected to the negative electrode current collector of the lid member 400. It arrange | positions in a predetermined position along the line segment extended in the Y minus direction from the part to which the body 300 is fixed. According to this, the positive electrode current collector correcting unit 20 and the negative electrode current collector correcting unit 40 correct the misalignment of the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300, and the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector are corrected. 300 extends in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the plane of the lid member 400 extends.

また、電池製造装置1は、正極集電体200の端部(Yマイナス方向側の端部)に正極側誘導部11を装着するとともに、負極集電体300の端部(Yマイナス方向側の端部)に負極側誘導部31を装着する。なお、正極側誘導部11のうち、正極集電体200に装着されている端部(Yプラス方向側の端部)を基端部とし、基端部と対向する端部(Yマイナス方向側の端部)を先端部とすると、正極側誘導部11の先端部は、正極側誘導部11の基端部と比べて細く形成されている。また、負極側誘導部31のうち、負極集電体300に装着されている端部(Yプラス方向側の端部)を基端部とし、基端部と対向する端部(Yマイナス方向側の端部)を先端部とすると、負極側誘導部31の先端部は、負極側誘導部31の基端部と比べて細く形成されている。   In addition, the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 attaches the positive electrode side induction portion 11 to the end portion (end portion on the Y minus direction side) of the positive electrode current collector 200 and the end portion (on the Y minus direction side) of the negative electrode current collector 300. The negative electrode side guide portion 31 is attached to the end portion. In addition, among the positive electrode side induction | guidance | derivation parts 11, let the edge part (end part on the Y plus direction side) with which the positive electrode collector 200 was mounted | worn be a base end part, and the edge part (Y minus direction side) facing a base end part The tip end portion of the positive electrode side guide portion 11 is formed thinner than the base end portion of the positive electrode side guide portion 11. Further, of the negative electrode side induction portion 31, an end portion (Y positive direction side end portion) attached to the negative electrode current collector 300 is a base end portion, and an end portion (Y negative direction side) facing the base end portion. The tip end portion of the negative electrode side guide portion 31 is formed thinner than the base end portion of the negative electrode side guide portion 31.

電池製造装置1は、次に、正極集電体矯正部20および負極集電体矯正部40により正極集電体200および負極集電体300が矯正されている状態において、正極側挿入部12により、正極側誘導部11の装着されている端部側から正極集電体200を、対に設けられた正極のタブ部113a、113bの間に挿入するとともに、負極側挿入部32により、負極側誘導部31の装着されている端部側から負極集電体300を、対に設けられた負極のタブ部123a、123bの間に挿入する。これによれば、図11、図12に示すように、正極集電体200が、正極集電体矯正部20により矯正されている状態で、対に設けられた正極のタブ部113a、113bの間に挿入されるとともに、負極集電体300が、負極集電体矯正部40により矯正されている状態で、対に設けられた負極のタブ部123a、123bの間に挿入されることになる。   Next, in the state where the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300 are corrected by the positive electrode current collector correcting unit 20 and the negative electrode current collector correcting unit 40, the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 is The positive electrode current collector 200 is inserted between the tab portions 113a and 113b of the positive electrode provided in the pair from the end side where the positive electrode side induction portion 11 is mounted, and the negative electrode side insertion portion 32 The negative electrode current collector 300 is inserted between the tab portions 123a and 123b of the negative electrode provided in the pair from the end side where the induction unit 31 is mounted. According to this, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the positive electrode current collector 200 is corrected by the positive electrode current collector correction unit 20, and the positive electrode tab portions 113 a and 113 b provided in the pair are connected. In addition, the negative electrode current collector 300 is inserted between the tab portions 123a and 123b of the negative electrode provided in the pair while being corrected by the negative electrode current collector correcting unit 40. .

図11は、対に設けられた正極のタブ部113a、113bの間に正極集電体200を挿入するとともに、対に設けられた負極のタブ部123a、123bの間に負極集電体300を挿入した状態を示す側面図である。図11において、図2から10で示した方向に合わせて、右方に向かう向きをXプラス方向とし、上方に向かう向きをYプラス方向とし、紙面手前向きをZプラス方向とする。   In FIG. 11, the positive electrode current collector 200 is inserted between the positive electrode tab portions 113a and 113b provided in the pair, and the negative electrode current collector 300 is inserted between the negative electrode tab portions 123a and 123b provided in the pair. It is a side view which shows the state inserted. In FIG. 11, in accordance with the directions shown in FIGS. 2 to 10, the rightward direction is the X plus direction, the upward direction is the Y plus direction, and the front side is the Z plus direction.

図12は、図11のB−B断面における断面図である。図12において、図2から11で示した方向に合わせて、右方に向かう向きをXプラス方向とし、紙面手前向きをYプラス方向とし、下方に向かう向きをZプラス方向とする。   12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. In FIG. 12, in accordance with the directions shown in FIGS. 2 to 11, the rightward direction is the X plus direction, the front side of the paper is the Y plus direction, and the downward direction is the Z plus direction.

なお、上述のように、正極側誘導部11の先端部が、正極側誘導部11の基端部と比べて細く形成されているため、正極側誘導部11が正極集電体200の端部に装着されていない場合と比べて、対に設けられた正極のタブ部113a、113bの間への正極集電体200の挿入が容易になる。また、正極集電体200が、正極集電体矯正部20により矯正されている状態で、対に設けられた正極のタブ部113a、113bの間に挿入される。以上によれば、正極集電体200が正極110やクリップ141や正極のタブ部113a、113bに接触してしまうのを防止することができる。   As described above, since the distal end portion of the positive electrode side induction portion 11 is formed thinner than the proximal end portion of the positive electrode side induction portion 11, the positive electrode side induction portion 11 is the end portion of the positive electrode current collector 200. Compared to the case where the positive electrode current collector 200 is not attached to the positive electrode current collector 200, the positive electrode current collector 200 is easily inserted between the positive electrode tab portions 113a and 113b provided in the pair. In addition, the positive electrode current collector 200 is inserted between the positive electrode tab portions 113a and 113b provided in the pair in a state where the positive electrode current collector 200 is corrected by the positive electrode current collector correcting unit 20. According to the above, it is possible to prevent the positive electrode current collector 200 from coming into contact with the positive electrode 110, the clip 141, and the positive electrode tab portions 113a and 113b.

また、上述のように、負極側誘導部31の先端部が、負極側誘導部31の基端部と比べて細く形成されているため、負極側誘導部31が負極集電体300の端部に装着されていない場合と比べて、対に設けられた負極のタブ部123a、123bの間への負極集電体300の挿入が容易になる。また、負極集電体300が、負極集電体矯正部40により矯正されている状態で、対に設けられた負極のタブ部123a、123bの間に挿入される。以上によれば、負極集電体300が負極120やクリップ142や負極のタブ部123a、123bに接触してしまうのを防止することができる。   Further, as described above, since the distal end portion of the negative electrode side induction portion 31 is formed thinner than the proximal end portion of the negative electrode side induction portion 31, the negative electrode side induction portion 31 is the end portion of the negative electrode current collector 300. As compared with the case where the negative electrode current collector 300 is not attached to the negative electrode current collector 300, the negative electrode current collector 300 can be easily inserted between the tab portions 123a and 123b of the negative electrode provided in the pair. Further, the negative electrode current collector 300 is inserted between the tab portions 123 a and 123 b of the negative electrode provided in the pair in a state where the negative electrode current collector 300 is corrected by the negative electrode current collector correcting unit 40. According to the above, it is possible to prevent the negative electrode current collector 300 from coming into contact with the negative electrode 120, the clip 142, or the tab portions 123a and 123b of the negative electrode.

また、正極集電体200および負極集電体300の双方は、上述のように蓋部材400に固定されている。このため、正極集電体200と負極集電体300とが蓋部材400を介して一体に動くことになるので、正極側挿入部12および負極側挿入部32は、同一の構成となる。ただし、正極集電体200と負極集電体300とが、蓋部材400のような同一の部材に固定されていない場合には、正極集電体200と負極集電体300とがそれぞれ独立して動くことになるので、正極側挿入部12および負極側挿入部32は、互いに異なる構成となる。   Further, both the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300 are fixed to the lid member 400 as described above. For this reason, since the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300 move together via the lid member 400, the positive electrode side insertion portion 12 and the negative electrode side insertion portion 32 have the same configuration. However, when the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300 are not fixed to the same member such as the lid member 400, the positive electrode current collector 200 and the negative electrode current collector 300 are independent from each other. Therefore, the positive electrode side insertion portion 12 and the negative electrode side insertion portion 32 have different configurations.

電池製造装置1は、次に、図13に示すように、対に設けられた正極のタブ部113a、113bの間に挿入されている正極集電体200から、正極側取り外し部13により正極集電体矯正部20を取り外すとともに、正極側除去部14により正極側誘導部11を取り除く。また、電池製造装置1は、対に設けられた負極のタブ部123a、123bの間に挿入されている負極集電体300から、負極側取り外し部33により負極集電体矯正部40を取り外すとともに、負極側除去部34により負極側誘導部31を取り除く。   Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 uses the positive electrode side removal unit 13 to collect the positive electrode current from the positive electrode current collector 200 inserted between the tab portions 113 a and 113 b of the positive electrode provided in the pair. While removing the electric body correction | amendment part 20, the positive electrode side induction | guidance | derivation part 11 is removed by the positive electrode side removal part 14. FIG. In addition, the battery manufacturing apparatus 1 removes the negative electrode current collector correction portion 40 from the negative electrode current collector 300 inserted between the negative electrode tab portions 123a and 123b provided in the pair by the negative electrode side removing portion 33. Then, the negative electrode side induction unit 31 is removed by the negative electrode side removal unit 34.

図13は、正極集電体200から正極集電体矯正部20および正極側誘導部11を除去するとともに、負極集電体300から負極集電体矯正部40および負極側誘導部31を除去した状態を示す側面図である。図11において、図2から12で示した方向に合わせて、右方に向かう向きをXプラス方向とし、上方に向かう向きをYプラス方向とし、紙面手前向きをZプラス方向とする。   In FIG. 13, the positive electrode current collector correcting part 20 and the positive electrode side induction part 11 are removed from the positive electrode current collector 200, and the negative electrode current collector correction part 40 and the negative electrode side induction part 31 are removed from the negative electrode current collector 300. It is a side view which shows a state.
