The present invention relates to an assembled battery in which a large number of battery cells are stacked, the battery cells are pressurized in the stacking direction, and the expansion of the battery cells is restricted.
Conventionally, an assembled battery described in Patent Document 1 is known. This assembled battery consists of a set of battery cells. Each battery cell has positive and negative electrode terminals on one side of a rectangular parallelepiped battery cell case. Adjacent battery cells are connected by a bus bar that connects electrode terminals to form an assembled battery.
A battery cell expand | swells when an electric current flows. In order to suppress the expansion and improve the output characteristics, it is known to apply pressure to the side surface of the battery, that is, pressurize and restrain the battery cell in the stacking direction. When the battery cells are restrained, the position of the electrode terminal protruding from each battery cell is also fixed. The position of this electrode terminal varies slightly between products.
Even if the position of the electrode terminal is determined at the design stage, the position of the electrode terminal of the actual product after assembly varies, so there is a gap between the position of the electrode terminal of the actual product and the position of the electrode terminal in the design drawing. An error occurs. A slight difference in size of each battery cell is accumulated, resulting in a large accumulation error in the entire assembled battery.
In order to solve this problem, in Patent Document 1, soft resin first hinges are provided between bus bars adjacent to each other in the stacking direction to absorb dimensional variations. Moreover, the electric wire which detects the voltage of a battery cell is connected to the bus bar. The electric wire is fixed and accommodated in a resin-made accommodation portion. In order to deal with accumulated errors in the position of the bus bar, soft resin second hinges are provided between the housing portions for housing the wires to absorb the dimensional variation.
In Patent Document 1, a circuit board for detecting voltage and temperature is not shown, and it is considered that the circuit board is provided outside the assembled battery via a large number of wires connected to the connector of the assembled battery.
As described above, in Patent Document 1, a circuit board (for example, called a battery monitoring board, a cell computer, a battery ECU, or the like) that detects voltage and temperature is connected to a connector of a battery pack (see FIG. It is provided outside the assembled battery via a number of battery cells). However, it is considered that the circuit board is accommodated in the assembled battery in order to shorten the wiring.
The circuit board itself is a hard one with little dimensional expansion / contraction. On the other hand, the resin member having the above-described hinge is accompanied by expansion / contraction of dimensions. It has been difficult to mount the circuit board in the assembled battery using the dimension error absorbing mechanism including the hinge. This is because when the bus bar itself is expanded and contracted by the hinge, a force accompanying expansion and contraction acts on the circuit board. In order to attach the circuit board, it is necessary that the portion of the base on which the circuit board is placed be a member having rigidity that does not expand and contract. If such a member having high rigidity is used, the hinge cannot be used.
Therefore, there is a problem that a rigid body such as a circuit board cannot be fixed to a circuit board fixing member including a bus bar and a member that holds the bus bar using the concept of Patent Document 1. Therefore, a circuit board is attached inside the assembled battery, and a dimension error absorbing mechanism is required instead of the hinge.
The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and the purpose thereof is to allow the circuit board to be mounted in the assembled battery and to be coupled by the circuit board and the wiring portion.

Each of the battery cells 1 is called a can type, and has positive and negative electrode terminals 2 and 3 above. The battery cells 1 are stacked and pressurized at a constant pressure of 500 kg to 1 ton, and a highly rigid metal restraining body (U-shaped restraining bands 4 and 5 and press plates 6 and 7 at both ends) is stacked in the stacking direction. It is restrained so as not to extend. The pressure plates 6 and 7 are also called end plates 6 and 7 and restrain the battery stack 8 that is a stacked body of the battery cells 1 from both sides.
In FIG. 1, only the upper two restraining bands 4 and 5 are shown, but two restraining bands are also provided at the lower portion of the battery stack 8. As long as the restraining band does not stretch, the battery cell 1 does not substantially expand.
Thereby, the expansion of the battery cell 1 when a current flows through the battery cell 1 is suppressed, and the performance degradation of the battery cell 1 is prevented. The position of each battery cell 1 is slightly different between products due to deviation and dimensional variation during stacking.
Between the electrode terminals 2 and 3 of the battery cell 1, there is provided a cut portion that becomes a smoke exhaust portion 9 that is opened when gas is generated in the battery cell 1 to guide the gas to a safe place. Although the smoke exhausting part 9 is normally closed, it is opened by gas pressure and exhausted. The exhausted gas is guided into the exhaust duct 12 fixed to the exhaust duct mounting rails 10 and 11, and is discharged to a predetermined place. The smoke exhaust duct 12 is formed of a U-shaped channel made of metal or synthetic resin, and is also an aggregate that increases the rigidity of the circuit board fixing member (also referred to as a bus bar module case) 13.
A circuit board fixing member 13 made of a synthetic resin is provided in contact with the smoke exhaust duct 12. The circuit board fixing member 13 includes a fixed portion central portion 131 that contacts the back portion 121 of the smoke exhaust duct 12, and a number of boats or saddle-shaped bus bar holding members 132 that are attached to the right and left from the central portion of the fixed portion. Is formed.
Further, a substrate housing portion 133 of the circuit board 14 is integrally formed at one end of the fixed portion central portion 131. The circuit board 14 detects the voltage and temperature of the battery cell 1.
Then, the detected temperature value and voltage value are transmitted via a communication line to an upper circuit board (ECU) via an outlet connector 141 forming a connector portion of the circuit board 14. The circuit board fixing member 13 has rigidity and extends in the stacking direction in order to attach the circuit board 14. The circuit board fixing member 13 is made of a resin member, and the wiring portion 15 is disposed and fixed on the resin member.
The circuit board fixing member 13 is provided with a bowl-shaped bus bar holding member 132 that houses a copper bus bar 151 having a thickness of about 1 mm. The plurality of bus bars 151 and the plurality of bus bar holding members 132 are juxtaposed in the stacking direction in order to connect the electrode terminals 2 and 3 of the battery cell 1.
A wiring portion 15 formed as a flexible printed wiring (FPC) is placed on the circuit board fixing member 13. The wiring portion 15 has a wiring center portion 152 in which a lead frame (metal thin plate) 154 forming a large number of thin copper wirings is sandwiched between transparent resin plates. The wiring center portion 152 is formed as a flexible printed wiring, but may be a bundle of many wirings as will be described later. The lead frame 154 in the wiring portion 15 is connected to a metal bus bar 151 via a flexible wiring portion (also referred to as a flexible portion) 153 that is a part of the wiring portion 15.
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the wiring section 15, the circuit board fixing member 13, and the circuit board 14 in the first embodiment.

The flexible wiring part 153 forms part of the voltage detection line.
The bus bar 151 has two terminal coupling holes 1511 and 1512 to which the electrode terminals 2 and 3 of the adjacent battery cells 1 are connected. The electrode terminals 2 and 3 (FIG. 1) are inserted into the terminal coupling holes 1511 and 1512 to be connected. Thereby, the some battery cell 1 is connected in series. The voltage of the bus bar 151 is guided to the circuit board 14 via the flexible wiring part 153 and the lead frame 154 in the wiring center part 152. The circuit board 14 is housed in the board housing portion 133 of the circuit board fixing member 13, and the board cover 16 is covered as shown in FIG. Further, a module cover 17 made of a transparent synthetic resin is placed above the wiring portion 15 to prevent an electric shock or the like.
As described above, each of the battery cells 1 has the positive and negative electrode terminals 2 and 3 on the upper side. The battery cells 1 are stacked and pressurized, and are constrained so as not to extend in the stacking direction by high-stiffness metal restraining bands 4 and 5. However, the position of the battery cell 1 varies within a dimensional tolerance range. Therefore, the dimensional tolerance is absorbed by the flexible wiring portion 153 between the bus bar 151 and the lead frame 154 in the wiring center portion 152.
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the bus bar 151, the flexible wiring portion 153, and the lead frame 154 in the wiring center portion 152 are formed as an integral metal wiring portion. And since the flexible wiring part 153 has the two bending parts 1531 and 1532 like FIG. 1, it is easy to move to the longitudinal direction (arrow Y1 direction) of the lead frame 154. FIG. For this reason, even if the mounting position of the bus bar 151 causes an error within the range of the dimensional tolerance, the flexible wiring portion 153 can easily absorb the error.
Note that since the bus bar 151 is thick, the bus bar 151 may be manufactured by press-molding an independent material, and a material separate from the lead frame 154 and the flexible wiring portion 153 may be press-molded.

The circuit board fixing member 13 is provided with three thermistors 18, 19, and 20 to detect the temperature of each part in the battery stack 8.
Note that both ends of the flexible wiring portion 153 have heat caulking portions 1535 and 1356 provided with holes for receiving resin pins and fixing the pins by heat caulking. The heat caulking portions 1535 and 1536 are provided. Is not a required configuration.
In addition, the wiring portion 15 has a wiring center portion 152 in which a lead frame 154 forming a large number of copper wirings is attached to a synthetic resin plate, and each flexible wiring portion 153 is asymmetric on both the left and right sides from the wiring center portion 152. It extends alternately. Thereby, a voltage detection line can be pulled out from the electrode terminals 2 and 3 (for example, plus electrode terminal) of the same polarity of the adjacent battery cell 1. Therefore, the voltage between the battery cells 1 can be accurately monitored without being affected by the voltage drop in the bus bar 151 due to the current flowing through the bus bar 151, and deterioration of the battery cell 1 can be accurately detected. it can.
In the said 1st Embodiment, the assembled battery which laminates | stacks many battery cells 1 and pressurizes and restrains the battery cell 1 in the lamination direction is comprised. The assembled battery includes a circuit board 14 that detects the voltage of the battery cell 1, a circuit board fixing member 13 that has rigidity to attach the circuit board 14 and extends in the stacking direction, and a wiring disposed on the circuit board fixing member 13.

And a flexible wiring portion 153 that allows movement of the bus bar 151 in the stacking direction.
According to this, since the flexible wiring portion 153 is provided between the bus bar 151 that is required to adjust the mounting position and the circuit board 14 that is required to determine the mounting position, Even if an error occurs in the mounting position, the error can be absorbed.
The bus bar 151 is housed in a bus bar holding member 132 that surrounds the bus bar 151, and the bus bar holding member 132 and the circuit board fixing member 13 are connected by flexible connecting portions 1321 and 1322. ing. The bus bar holding member 132, the connecting portions 1321 and 1322, and the circuit board fixing member 13 are formed as an integral resin molded product.
According to this, the bus bar holding member 132, the connecting portions 1321 and 1322, and the circuit board fixing member 13 can be molded as an integral resin molded product, which is easy to manufacture.
Furthermore, the flexible wiring part 153 and the wiring center part 152 which becomes a wiring part between the flexible wiring part 153 and the circuit board 14 are continuously formed by an integral metal piece.
According to this, the flexible wiring portion 153 and the lead frame 154 of the wiring center portion 152 are continuously formed by an integral metal piece, and there is no connection portion that becomes a seam, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. it can.
In addition, the flexible wiring portion 153 is fixed to the circuit board fixing member 13 or the bus bar holding member 132 by heat caulking. According to this, since the flexible wiring part 153 is fixed by the heat caulking parts 1535 and 1536, it is easy to maintain the fixing strength of the flexible wiring part 153.
Next, a smoke exhaust duct 12 is formed between the circuit board fixing member 13 and the plurality of battery cells 1 to release smoke when the battery cell 1 fails. According to this, when the battery cell 1 breaks down, it can pass through the smoke exhaust duct 12 and can escape smoke. Further, the circuit board fixing member 13 and the smoke exhaust duct 12 are arranged in contact with each other. According to this, the rigidity of the circuit board fixing member 13 can be increased by the smoke exhaust duct 12.
Furthermore, a plurality of bus bar holding members 132 are formed side by side on both sides of the circuit board fixing member 13. According to this, by arranging the circuit board fixing member 13 at the center, the distance from the bus bar 151 to the circuit board 14 in the bus bar holding member 132 can be connected by the shortest path, and detection errors such as voltage can be reduced. . In addition, by arranging a plurality of bus bar holding members 132 on both sides, a large space required for the connection work between the battery cell 1 and the bus bar 151 can be secured, so the connection work of the bus bar 151 to the battery cell 1 is performed. Easy to do.
In addition, the bus bar holding members 132 are arranged so as to alternately and asymmetrically extend on both sides of the circuit board fixing member 13 (this arrangement is referred to as a staggered pattern in this case). The flexible wiring portion 153 connected to the bus bar 151 is also connected in a staggered pattern, and the flexible wiring portion 153 is connected to the electrode terminals 2 and 3 of the same polarity of the battery cell 1.
According to this, the flexible wiring part 153 which comprises a voltage detection line is connected to the electrode terminals 2 and 3 of the same polarity of the battery cell 1. Therefore, even when a large current flows through the bus bar 151 and a voltage drop that cannot be ignored occurs in the bus bar 151, it is possible to eliminate the influence of the voltage drop on the voltage detection. By the way, if the staggered arrangement is not used, one voltage detection does not include the voltage drop in the bus bar 151, and the other voltage detection includes the voltage drop of the two bus bars 151, which deteriorates the cell voltage detection accuracy. Connected.
