Abstract

A battery comprises a first polarity terminal that is attached via a first insulating member to an opening of an outer case. A first polarity plate includes: a first core formed of a conductive material; and a first active material layer. A first drawn-out portion is formed from a side of the first core on the first polarity terminal side thereof being drawn further out than a side of the first active material layer on the first polarity terminal side thereof. The first drawn-out portion includes a first bent portion that is bent towards the radially inner or outer side of the electrode body. A first surface of a first polarity collector plate contacts the surface of the first bent portion on the first polarity terminal side, and the first polarity terminal connects directly or via a conductive member to a second surface of the first polarity collector plate.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cylindrical battery comprising:
a wound electrode body including at least one first electrode plate and at least one second electrode plate that are wound with a separator therebetween;
a bottomed cylindrical outer covering can that accommodates the electrode body; and
a first pole terminal attached to an opening portion of the outer covering can via a first insulating member so as to close the opening portion, wherein
the first electrode plate includes a first core being formed of a first conductive material and a first active material layer formed on the first core, with an edge portion of the first core on a first pole terminal side being led out relative to an edge of the first active material layer on the first pole terminal side to thereby form a first lead-out portion,
the first lead-out portion includes a first bent portion bent radially inward toward a center of the electrode body or radially outward toward the covering can of the electrode body
a first surface of a first electrode collector plate is in contact with a surface of the first bent portion on the first pole terminal side, and the first pole terminal is directly connected to a second surface of the first electrode collector plate,
wherein:
the outer covering can includes a jutting portion at a part on an opening portion side, the jutting portion being formed radially inward from a cylinder portion of the outer covering can;
a ring-like second insulating member is provided on a radially outer side of the second surface of the first electrode collector plate;
the first pole terminal includes an outer projection portion and an inner projection portion that are formed at respective center portions of outer and inner surfaces of a disk portion, the first pole terminal having, at a center portion thereof, a thickness that is greater than a thickness at a part of the first pole terminal on a radially outer side; and
the second insulating member and the first electrode collector plate are held between the first bent portion and the jutting portion, and the inner projection portion of the first pole terminal is connected to the first electrode collector plate through an inner side of a through-hole of the second insulating member.

2. The cylindrical battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first pole terminal is attached to the opening portion via the first insulating member by a part of the outer covering can on the opening portion side being swaged radially inward.

3. The cylindrical battery according to claim 1 , wherein:
the second electrode plate includes a second core being formed of a second conductive material, and a second active material layer formed on the second core, with a second lead-out portion being formed by an edge portion of the second core on a bottom portion side of the outer covering can being led out relative to an edge of the second active material layer on the bottom portion side;
the second lead-out portion includes a second bent portion bent radially inward toward the center of the electrode body or radially outward toward the covering can of the electrode body; and
the second bent portion is in contact with an inner surface of the bottom portion side.

4. The cylindrical battery according to claim 1 , wherein:
the second electrode plate includes a second core being formed of a second conductive material, and a second active material layer formed on the second core, with the second core being exposed in an outermost circumferential surface of the electrode body; and
a part at which the second core is exposed in the outermost circumferential surface of the electrode body is in direct contact with an inner surface of a cylinder portion of the outer covering can.
