Manufacturing method for secondary battery and secondary battery
A manufacturing method for the secondary battery includes a first preparation step for inserting a terminal formed in an oval like shape and having a cylindrical shaft part into an attachment hole formed on a sealing plate of the secondary battery, a second preparation step for arranging a conductive member on a surface at a side where the shaft part of the sealing plate protrudes, a first caulking step for using a caulking tool that includes a tip end part formed in an oval like shape and includes a base end part formed in a complete round shape whose diameter is larger than the tip end part, to insert the tip end part into the shaft part, so as to make the base end part expand an inner diameter of the shaft part, and a second caulking step for pressing an expanded portion of the shaft part to be flat.
1 . A manufacturing method for a secondary battery, comprising:
a first preparation step for inserting a terminal formed in an oval like shape and having a cylindrical shaft part into an attachment hole formed on a sealing plate of a secondary battery that comprises a case main body whose part is opened and comprises the sealing plate provided at the opening of the case main body, so as to make the shaft part protrude from the sealing plate;
a second preparation step for arranging a conductive member at a periphery of the attachment hole and on a surface at a side where the shaft part of the sealing plate protrudes;
a first caulking step for using a caulking tool having a tip end part formed in an oval like shape and having a base end part formed in a complete round shape whose diameter is larger than the tip end part, to insert the tip end part into the shaft part of the terminal, so as to make the base end part expand an inner diameter of a portion of the shaft part protruding from the sealing plate; and
a second caulking step for pressing the portion of the shaft part expanded at the first caulking step to be flat.
2 . The manufacturing method for the secondary battery according to claim 1 ,
wherein the base end part comprises a reduced diameter portion whose diameter becomes smaller toward the tip end part, and
at the first caulking step, the reduced diameter portion of the base end part is used to expand the inner diameter of the portion of the shaft part protruding from the sealing plate.
3 . The manufacturing method for the secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising a third caulking step for pressing to form a step on a peripheral edge part in a long diameter direction of the oval like shape of the expanded portion of the shaft part pressed to be flat at the second caulking step.
