Abstract

An insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell is interposed between a cell element and a cover member in a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell including the cell element formed by stacking cathodes and anodes through separators, a cell can including a can body which houses the cell element and the cover member which closes an opening of the can body to seal the cell element, and an electrolyte injected into the cell can. The insulating plate includes a plate-shaped insulating plate body having insulating property, an injection hole which passes through the insulating plate body in the thickness direction and through which the electrolyte can be injected, and a filter member permeable to only the electrolyte and provided on one of the surfaces of the insulating plate body so as to cover the injection hole.

Claims (36)

1. An insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell which is interposed between a cell element and a cover member in a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell including the cell element formed by stacking cathodes and anodes through separators, a cell can including a can body which houses the cell element and the cover member which closes an opening of the can body to seal the cell element, and an electrolyte injected into the cell can, the insulating plate comprising:

a plate-shaped insulating plate body having insulating property;

an injection hole which passes through the insulating plate body in the thickness direction and through which the electrolyte can be injected; and

a filter member permeable to only the electrolyte and provided on one of the surfaces of the insulating plate body so as to cover the injection hole.

2. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating plate body is made of a thermoplastic resin.

3. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the filter member is made of a nonwoven fabric composed of fibers and has a maximum pore size of 20 to 120 μm and a Metsuke of 25 to 150 g/m 2 .

4. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 3 , wherein a binder is mixed in the filter member.

5. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 3 , wherein the filter member is pressed.

6. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating plate body and the filter member are partially welded by ultrasonic waves.

7. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 6 , wherein the injection hole is provided at a position inward of the caulking position for fixing the cover member to the can body, and the welding position between the insulating plate body and the filter member is inward of the injection hole.

8. The insulating plate of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the physical property values of the insulating plate body are close to those of the filter member.

9. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising:

a cell element formed by stacking cathodes and anodes through separators;

a cell can including a can body which houses the cell element and a cover member which closes an opening of the can body to seal the cell element;

an insulating plate interposed between the cell element and the cover member; and

an electrolyte injected into the cell can through an injection hole provided in the insulating plate,

wherein the insulating plate includes

a plate-shaped insulating plate body having insulating property,

an injection hole which passes through the insulating plate body in the thickness direction and through which the electrolyte can be injected, and

a filter member permeable to only the electrolyte and provided on one of the surfaces of the insulating plate body so as to cover the injection hole.

10. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising:

a cell element formed by stacking cathodes and anodes through separators;

a cell can including a can body which houses the cell element and a cover member which closes an opening of the can body to seal the cell element;

an electrolyte injected into the cell can;

an insulating plate interposed between the cell element and the cover member; and

a nonwoven fabric provided between the cell element and the bottom of the cell can,

wherein the insulating plate includes

a plate-shaped insulating plate body having insulating property,

an injection hole which passes through the insulating plate body in the thickness direction and through which the electrolyte can be injected, and

a filter member permeable to only the electrolyte and provided on one of the surfaces of the insulating plate body so as to cover the injection hole.

11. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 9 , wherein the insulating plate body is made of a thermoplastic resin.

12. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 9 , wherein the filter member is made of a nonwoven fabric composed of fibers and has a maximum pore size of 20 to 120 μm and a Metsuke of 25 to 150 g/m 2 .

13. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 12 , wherein a binder is mixed in the filter member.

14. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 10 , wherein the insulating plate body is made of a thermoplastic resin.

15. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 10 , wherein the filter member is made of a nonwoven fabric composed of fibers and has a maximum pore size of 20 to 120 μm and a Metsuke of 25 to 150 g/m 2 .

16. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 15 , wherein a binder is mixed in the filter member.
