[Figure 6] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a solid-state battery. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0010] <Laminated battery> A laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an electrode assembly and a laminate film that covers and encapsulates the electrode assembly. The laminate film has a fused portion where the ends are overlapped and the inner surfaces are fused. The fused portion has two bent portions that are bent into an angular or arc shape at an angle of 90° or less, and a roll portion that is disposed on the tip side of the fused portion relative to the two bent portions and is rolled into a roll.
[0011] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a laminate type battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings shown below are schematic diagrams, and the size and shape of each part are appropriately exaggerated to make them easier to understand.
[0012] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a laminate-type battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The laminated battery 10 shown in FIG. 1 has an electrode body 2 and a laminate film 4 that covers and encloses the electrode body 2. The laminate film 4 has a fused portion 40 in which the ends are overlapped and the inner surface is fused. The fused portion 40 has two bent portions 40A, 40B that are bent into an angular or arc shape at an angle of 90° or less, and a roll portion 40C that is disposed on the tip side 40D of the fused portion 40 from the two bent portions 40A, 40B and rolled into a roll. The roll portion 40C is rolled into a roll toward the inside of the fused portion 40 having the two bent portions 40A, 40B (i.e., toward the side where the angle is 90° or less at the two bent portions 40A, 40B). The roll portion refers to a portion in which a curved shape is continuous.
[0013] The laminated battery according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has the above-described configuration, and thus can improve the structural efficiency of the fused portion while suppressing the occurrence of tears in the laminate film.
[0014] First, the laminated battery according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has a rolled-up portion at the tip side of the fused portion, thereby saving space and improving the structural efficiency of the fused portion. Furthermore, since the laminated battery has a roll portion closer to the tip of the fused portion than the two bent portions, the structural efficiency can be improved as described above even if the bending angles at the two bent portions are not extremely acute (e.g., bent portions with an angle of 0°). In a bent portion with an extremely acute angle (e.g., an angle of 0°), stress may concentrate at the acute corner, causing tears in the laminated film. However, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the structural efficiency can be improved even if the bending angles at the two bent portions are not extremely acute, so that stress concentration at the corners can be alleviated and the occurrence of tears in the laminated film can be suppressed.
[0015] From the above, it is presumed that the laminated battery according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can improve the structural efficiency of the fused portion while suppressing the occurrence of tears in the laminate film.
[0016] Bend angle The two bent portions are bent into an angular or arc shape such that the angles (for example, in the laminate-type battery 10 shown in FIG. 1, bent portion 40A is angle a, and bent portion 40B is angle b) are both 90° or less. Having an angle of 90° or less can increase the structural efficiency of the fused portion. The angles of the two bent portions are preferably less than 90°, and more preferably 80° or less. In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing the occurrence of tearing of the laminate film due to stress concentration, the angles of the two bent portions are preferably both 50° or more, more preferably 60° or more, and even more preferably 70° or more.
[0017] Height of fusion part The height of the fused portion, that is, the height of the fused portion in the thickness direction of the electrode body (for example, the direction of arrow Y in FIG. 1) (for example, in laminate-type battery 10 shown in FIG. 1, it is height d1 at fused portion 40) is preferably equal to or less than the thickness of the portion of the laminate-type battery having the electrode body (for example, height d2 in laminate-type battery 10 shown in FIG. 1). Having the height of the fused portion equal to or less than the thickness of the portion having the electrode body can increase the structural efficiency of the battery.
[0018] Width of fusion part The width of the fused portion will be described. The width of the fused portion refers to the length from the end of the portion having the electrode body in the laminated battery to the end of the fused portion of the laminated film in the direction of the side where the fused portion of the laminated film is formed as viewed from the electrode body side in the laminated battery (for example, the direction of the arrow X in FIG. 1) (for example, in the laminated battery 10 shown in FIG. 1, it is the width c of the fused portion 40). From the viewpoint of increasing the structural efficiency of the battery, the width of the fused portion is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less, and more preferably 0.8 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less.
[0019] <Laminated battery manufacturing method> Next, a method for manufacturing a laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. A manufacturing method for a laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing a laminated battery having an electrode body and a laminate film that covers and encapsulates the electrode body, and having a fused portion where the ends of the laminate film are overlapped and fused to each other on the inner surface. The manufacturing method for this laminated battery includes a rolling process in which the fused portion is rolled into a roll from the tip side, and a pressing process in which press members are pressed against the rolled fused portion from at least two directions to press it and bend it into an angular or arc shape at an angle of 90° or less to form two bent portions.
[0020] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a method for manufacturing a laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0021] 2, 3, and 5 are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a step of a manufacturing method for a laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4 is a schematic top view and a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a rolling step in the manufacturing method for a laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. First, as shown in FIG. 2, a laminated battery 10a is prepared, which has an electrode body 2, a laminate film 4 that covers and encapsulates the electrode body 2, and has a fused portion 40a where the ends of the laminate film 4 are overlapped and fused on the inner surface, and where no bent portion or rolled portion is formed in this fused portion 40a.
[0022] ·Roll process Next, the fused portion 40a of the laminated battery 10a is subjected to a rolling process to produce a laminated battery 10b having a fused portion 40cc rolled into a roll from the tip side as shown in FIG.
[0023] Here, an example of the rolling process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4) and a schematic cross-sectional view (right side of FIG. 4) illustrating the rolling process in the manufacturing method of a laminated battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the schematic cross-sectional view (right side of FIG. 4), FIG. A is a cross-sectional view showing the AA cross-section in the schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4). Similarly, in the schematic cross-sectional view, FIG. B is a cross-sectional view showing the BB cross-section in the schematic top view, FIG. C is a cross-sectional view showing the CC cross-section in the schematic top view, FIG. D is a cross-sectional view showing the DD cross-section in the schematic top view, FIG. E is a cross-sectional view showing the EE cross-section in the schematic top view, and FIG. F is a cross-sectional view showing the FF cross-section in the schematic top view.
[0024] In the method of forming the rolled portion shown in FIG. 4, a laminated-type battery 10a without bent portions or rolled portions is moved in the direction of arrow e while a rolled-portion forming member 64, which is arranged at an angle with respect to the direction of arrow e, is pressed against the fused portion 40a to form a rolled-up fused portion 40cc. The roll-part forming member 64 is disposed with an inclination with respect to the direction of the arrow e, and the inner surface 64a is circular. In the roll-part forming member 64, the end 64in on the side (i.e., the inlet side) into which the fused part 40a of the laminated battery 10a moving in the direction of the arrow e enters is disposed at a position where the tip 40ad of the fused part 40a does not come into contact, as shown in the position AA in the schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4) of FIG. 4 and the figure A in the schematic cross-sectional view (right side of FIG. 4). As the laminated battery 10a moves in the direction of the arrow e, the tip 40ad of the fused part 40a comes into contact with the inner surface 64a of the roll-part forming member 64, and the fused part 40a begins to deform into a roll shape, as shown in the position BB in the schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4) of FIG. 4 and the figure B in the schematic cross-sectional view (right side of FIG. 4). In addition, a shaft center 62 is disposed at a position facing the inner surface 64a of the roll-part forming member 64 across the fused portion 40a to assist the fused portion 40a in starting to deform into a roll shape. By providing the shaft center 62, the fused portion 40a is guided into a gap between the shaft center 62 and the inner surface 64a of the roll-part forming member 64, and the fused portion 40a becomes easier to deform into a roll shape. The shaft center 62 may be provided at a position where the fused portion 40a starts to deform into a roll shape, and is provided at the positions AA and BB in the schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4) and the positions A and B in the schematic cross-sectional view (right side of FIG. 4) in FIG. 4. On the other hand, the shaft center 62 is not provided at the positions thereafter, that is, the positions CC, DD, EE, and FF in the schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4) and the positions C, D, E, and F in the schematic cross-sectional view (right side of FIG. 4).
[0025] The fused portion 40a that has begun to deform into a roll shape is then deformed into a shape closer to a circle along the circular inner side surface 64a of the roll portion-forming member 64 as the laminated battery 10a moves in the direction of the arrow e, as shown in positions CC, DD, EE, and FF in the schematic top view (left side of FIG. 4) of FIG. 4 and in figures C, D, E, and F in the schematic cross-sectional views (right side of FIG. 4). Then, as the laminated battery 10a moves in the direction of the arrow e, all of the fused portion 40a passes through the end 64out on the outlet side of the roll portion-forming member 64, resulting in a laminated battery 10b having the fused portion 40cc rolled into a roll shape from the tip side, as shown in FIG. 3.
[0026] 4 shows a method of forming a rolled fused portion 40cc by pressing a roll-shaped rolled member 64 arranged at an angle against the fused portion 40a while moving the laminated battery 10a in the direction of the arrow e. However, the rolling process in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not particularly limited as long as it is a process that can roll the fused portion from the tip side into a roll. For example, the fused portion can be rolled from the tip side into a roll by wrapping the shaft around the tip of the fused portion and rolling the fused portion around the shaft center toward the base side of the fused portion (i.e., the end of the fused portion on the side where the electrodes are arranged).
[0027] Pressing process Next, a pressing process is carried out on the laminated battery 10b having a fused portion of 40 cc rolled into a roll shape from the tip side in the rolling process, thereby producing the laminated battery 10 shown in FIG.
[0028] FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a pressing step in the manufacturing method for a laminate-type battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the pressing process shown in FIG. 5, pressing members 82, 84, and 86 are pressed from three directions against the fused portion 40cc rolled into a roll shape from the tip side to press (preferably heat press). Specifically, pressing member 82 from below in FIG. 5, pressing member 84 from the right side, and pressing member 86 from above to press (preferably heat press) form two bent portions 40A and 40B bent into an angular or arc shape at an angle of 90° or less. Note that the surface of the pressing member 84 pressed against the fused portion 40cc from the right side in FIG. 5 has an inclination so that the angle of the bent portion 40A is less than 90° (more preferably 80° or less). In addition, the surface of the pressing member 86 pressed against the fused portion 40cc from above in FIG. 5 also has an inclination so that the angle of the bent portion 40B is less than 90° (more preferably 80° or less).
[0029] In FIG. 5, a pressing process is described in which press members are pressed against the rounded fused portion from three directions to form two bent portions. However, the pressing process in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not particularly limited as long as it is a process that can form two bent portions bent into an angular or arc shape at an angle of 90° or less. For example, two bent portions can be formed by pressing press members against the portion from two directions. Specifically, two bent portions may be formed by pressing the portion using press member 84 pressed from the right side in FIG. 5 and press member 86 pressed from above, without using press member 82 pressed from below.
[0030] According to the manufacturing method of the laminated battery according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, which includes the rolling step and the pressing step, it is possible to improve the structural efficiency of the fused portion while suppressing the occurrence of tears in the laminate film.
[0031] Conventionally, when forming two bent portions in the fused portion of a laminate film, a folding member (e.g., a roll member) is pressed against both sides of the laminate film, and the folding member pressed against the inside serves as a fulcrum to form the bent portions. However, stress is concentrated at this fulcrum, which can cause the laminate film to tear. In contrast, in the manufacturing method of the laminated battery according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the fusion part is rolled from the tip side in a rolling process, and then the rolled fusion part is pressed with press members from at least two directions to form two bent parts bent into an angular or arc shape at an angle of 90° or less. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, two bent parts can be formed without pressing a folding member (e.g., a roll member) that serves as a fulcrum against the inside of the laminate film. Therefore, stress does not concentrate on the fulcrum, and tearing of the laminate film can be suppressed. In addition, the structural efficiency of the fusion part can be improved by rolling the tip side of the fusion part into a roll shape. It is therefore presumed that, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the structural efficiency of the fused portion while suppressing the occurrence of tears in the laminate film.
