Abstract

A battery lid includes an aluminum lid member, a first terminal member made of aluminum and a second terminal member made of copper, each extending to both a front side and a back side, and resin members fixing the terminal members to the lid member. Of the second terminal member, an opposite surface that faces a wall surface between the front side and the back side of the lid member via the resin member is formed with asperities, in which the resin member bites to form a minute anchor structure. The resin member is made of a base resin mixed with fillers and prepared so that its linear expansion coefficient in a range of 80% to 120% of a linear expansion coefficient of the aluminum.

Claims (31)

1 . A battery lid comprising:

a lid member made of aluminum;

a first terminal member made of aluminum and a second terminal member made of copper, which are provided extending to both a front side and a back side of the lid member; and

resin members fixing the first terminal member and the second terminal member to the lid member,

wherein the second terminal member has an opposite surface that faces a wall surface between the front side and the back side of the lid member via one of the resin members, the opposite surface being formed with asperities, in which the resin member bites to form a minute anchor structure,

the resin members are made of base resin mixed with fillers, and

the resin members have a linear expansion coefficient in a range of 80% to 120% of a linear expansion coefficient of aluminum.

2 . The battery lid according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal member has an opposite surface that faces a wall surface between the front side and the back side of the lid member via the other of the resin members, the opposite surface of the first terminal member being formed with asperities, in which the resin member bites to form a minute anchor structure.

3 . The battery lid according to claim 1 , wherein the lid member has an outer surface on the front side and an inner surface on the back side each formed with asperities in an area covered by the resin members, so that the resin members bite into the asperities of the lid member to form a minute anchor structure.

4 . The battery lid according to claim 2 , wherein the lid member has an outer surface on the front side and an inner surface on the back side each formed with asperities in an area covered by the resin members, so that the resin members bite into the asperities of the lid member to form a minute anchor structure.

5 . The battery lid according to claim 1 , wherein the fillers are made of glass.

6 . The battery lid according to claim 2 , wherein the fillers are made of glass.

7 . The battery lid according to claim 3 , wherein the fillers are made of glass.

8 . The battery lid according to claim 4 , wherein the fillers are made of glass.

9 . The battery lid according to claim 1 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

10 . The battery lid according to claim 2 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

11 . The battery lid according to claim 3 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

12 . The battery lid according to claim 4 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

13 . The battery lid according to claim 5 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

14 . The battery lid according to claim 6 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

15 . The battery lid according to claim 7 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

16 . The battery lid according to claim 8 , wherein the base resin is polyphenylene sulfide resin.

17 . A battery comprising:

a case body having an opening;

an electrode assembly housed in the case body; and

a battery lid closing the opening of the case body,

wherein the battery lid is configured according to claim 1 , and

the first terminal member and the second terminal member are each connected to electrode plates constituting the electrode assembly.

18 . The battery according to claim 17 , wherein the first terminal member has an opposite surface that faces a wall surface between the front side and the back side of the lid member via the other of the resin members, the opposite surface of the first terminal member being formed with asperities, in which the resin member bites to form a minute anchor structure.

19 . The battery according to claim 17 , wherein the lid member has an outer surface on the front side and an inner surface on the back side each formed with asperities in an area covered by the resin members, so that the resin members bite into the asperities of the lid member to form a minute anchor structure.

20 . The battery according to claim 17 , wherein the fillers are made of glass.
