Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a film-wrapped electrical device, including: a first injection step of depressurizing, to a given pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, the inside of an injection chamber ( 2 ) in which a bag-shaped laminate film wrapping member ( 29 ) is placed, the laminate film wrapping member ( 29 ) having an opening portion ( 29 a ) and housing an electrode assembly ( 21 ′) including a positive electrode and a negative electrode stacked with a separator therebetween, and injecting part of a predetermined injection amount of an electrolyte solution ( 20 ) into the wrapping member ( 29 ) through the opening portion ( 29 a ); and a second injection step of, after the first injection step, pressurizing the inside of the injection chamber ( 2 ) to a pressure higher than the given pressure and injecting the rest of the predetermined injection amount of the electrolyte solution ( 20 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a film-wrapped electrical device, comprising:
a first injection step of
depressurizing, to a given pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, an inside of an injection chamber in which a bag-shaped laminate film wrapping member is placed, the laminate film wrapping member having an opening portion and housing an electrode assembly including a positive electrode and a negative electrode stacked with a separator therebetween, and
injecting part of a predetermined injection amount of an electrolyte solution into the laminate film wrapping member through the opening portion; and

a second injection step of, after the first injection step, pressurizing the inside of the injection chamber to a pressure higher than the given pressure and lower than an average value of the given pressure and atmospheric pressure, and injecting the rest of the predetermined injection amount of the electrolyte solution into the laminate film wrapping member through the opening portion, wherein
in each of the first injection step and the second injection step, the solution is injected in installments,
a total injection amount in the first injection step is set larger than a total injection amount in the second injection step, and
a number of installments in the first injection step is set larger than a number of installments in the second injection step.

2. The method for manufacturing a film-wrapped electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second injection step, the pressure inside the injection chamber is raised stepwise, and the electrolyte solution is injected with the pressure at each level maintained for a certain period of time.

3. A method for manufacturing a film-wrapped electrical device, comprising:
a first injection step of
depressurizing, to a given pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, an inside of an injection chamber in which a bag-shaped laminate film wrapping member is placed, the laminate film wrapping member having an opening portion and housing an electrode assembly including a positive electrode and a negative electrode stacked with a separator therebetween, and
injecting part of a predetermined injection amount of an electrolyte solution into the laminate film wrapping member through the opening portion; and

a second injection step of, after the first injection step, pressurizing the inside of the injection chamber to a pressure higher than the given pressure and lower than an average value of the given pressure and atmospheric pressure, and injecting the rest of the predetermined injection amount of the electrolyte solution into the laminate film wrapping member through the opening portion, wherein
in each of the first injection step and the second injection step, the solution is injected in installments, and
an injection amount in each installment in the second injection step is set larger than an injection amount in the last installment in the first injection step.
