Abstract

Disclosed is a secondary battery in which a negative electrode has a covered portion covered with a negative electrode active material covering portion and a negative electrode active material non-covered portion on a strip-shaped negative electrode foil, the negative electrode active material non-covered portion is joined to a negative electrode current collector plate at the other end portion of the electrode winding body, the electrode winding body has a flat surface formed by bending any one or both of a positive electrode active material non-covered portion and the negative electrode active material non-covered portion toward a central axis of the wound structure and overlapping the positive electrode active material non-covered portion and the negative electrode active material non-covered portion, and a first groove formed in the flat surface, at least one C-shaped second groove is included in a can bottom of a battery can.

Claims (15)

1 . A secondary battery comprising:

an electrode winding body having a structure in which a strip-shaped positive electrode and a strip-shaped negative electrode are stacked with a separator interposed therebetween and wound, a positive electrode collector plate, and a negative electrode collector plate are housed in a battery can,

the positive electrode having a covered portion covered with a positive electrode active material covering portion and a positive electrode active material non-covered portion on a strip-shaped positive electrode foil,

the negative electrode having a covered portion covered with a negative electrode active material covering portion and a negative electrode active material non-covered portion on a strip-shaped negative electrode foil,

the positive electrode active material non-covered portion being joined to the positive electrode current collector plate at one end portion of the electrode winding body,

the negative electrode active material non-covered portion being joined to the negative electrode current collector plate at the other end portion of the electrode winding body,

the electrode winding body having a flat surface configured by any one or both of the positive electrode active material non-covered portion and the negative electrode active material non-covered portion bent toward a central axis of the wound structure and overlapping the positive electrode active material non-covered portion and the negative electrode active material non-covered portion, and a first groove formed in the flat surface,

at least one C-shaped second groove being included in a can bottom of the battery can, wherein the at least one C-shaped second groove having a curved shape in a plan view in a direction orthogonal to the can bottom of the battery can,

when viewed from a direction of the central axis, the at least one C-shaped second groove being at a position not overlapping with a plate-shaped portion of the negative electrode current collector plate, and all end portions of the at least one C-shaped second groove being located at a position overlapping the plate-shaped portion of the negative electrode current collector plate.

2 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the second groove is 0.10 mm or more and 1.00 mm or less.

3 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second groove is disposed on an inner surface of the battery can.

4 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the negative electrode current collector plate includes a simple substance including nickel, a nickel alloy, copper, a copper alloy, or a composite material.

5 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising a safety valve that releases a gas when the gas is generated in the battery can.

6 . An electronic device comprising the secondary battery according to claim 1 .

7 . A power tool comprising the secondary battery according to claim 1 .
