Abstract

An electrical storage device terminal film which is arranged covering part of an outer peripheral surface of a metal terminal that is electrically connected to an electrical storage device body forming an electrical storage device. The terminal film includes a first outermost layer including a first insulating layer, a second outermost layer including a second insulating layer, and an amorphous insulating filler which is added to at least one of the first and second insulating layers. The amorphous insulating filler is arranged with a part thereof being protruded from an outer surface of the insulating layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical storage device terminal film arranged covering at least part of an outer peripheral surface of a metal terminal electrically connected to an electrical storage device body configuring an electrical storage device, comprising:
a first outermost layer including a first insulating layer;
a second outermost layer including a second insulating layer; and
an amorphous insulating filler added to at least one of the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, wherein:
part of the amorphous insulating filler is arranged being protruded from an outer surface of the insulating layer to which the amorphous insulating filler has been added.

2. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 1 , wherein the amorphous insulating filler has an average particle size in a range of 0.1 to 20 μm.

3. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer to which the amorphous insulating filler has been added has a thickness 2 to 30 times the average particle size of the amorphous insulating filler.

4. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 1 , wherein an additive amount of the amorphous insulating filler is in a range of 0.1 to 20 wt %.

5. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 1 , wherein the amorphous insulating filler is added to only one of the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

6. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 1 , comprising a third insulating layer arranged between the first outermost layer and the second outermost layer, and an intermediate layer containing a pigment added to the third insulating layer.

7. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 6 , wherein fourth insulating layers are arranged between the intermediate layer and the first outermost layer and between the intermediate layer and the second outermost layer.

8. An electrical storage device comprising:
an electrical storage device terminal film of claim 1 ;
an electrical storage device body performing charging/discharging;
a pair of the metal terminals each electrically connected to the electrical storage device body and partially covered with the electrical storage device terminal film; and
a packaging material covering part of the electrical storage device terminal film, and the electrical storage device body.

9. The electrical storage device of claim 8 , wherein:
the first outermost layer is arranged covering part of an outer peripheral surface of the metal terminal; and
the second outermost layer is arranged being in contact with the packaging material.

10. An electrical storage device terminal film arranged covering at least part of an outer peripheral surface of a metal terminal electrically connected to an electrical storage device body configuring an electrical storage device, comprising:
a first outermost layer including a first insulating layer;
a second outermost layer including a second insulating layer;
a third insulating layer arranged between the first outermost layer and the second outermost layer, and an intermediate layer containing an electrically conductive pigment enabling a coloration in black, the pigment being added to the third insulating layer, wherein:
an insulating filler is added to at least one of the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

11. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 , wherein an insulating filler is added to only one of the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

12. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 , wherein a content of the electrically conductive pigment in the intermediate layer is in a range of 0.01 wt % to 3.00 wt %, inclusive.

13. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 , wherein the insulating filler has an average particle size that is 1/30 to ½ the thickness of an insulating layer to which the insulating filler has been added.

14. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 , wherein a content of the insulating filler is in a range of 0.1 wt % to 20 wt %, inclusive.

15. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 , wherein the insulating filler has a spherical shape.

16. The electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 , wherein fourth insulating layers are arranged between the intermediate layer and the first outermost layer and between the intermediate layer and the second outermost layer.

17. An electrical storage device comprising:
an electrical storage device terminal film of claim 10 ;
an electrical storage device body performing charging/discharging;
a pair of the metal terminals each electrically connected to the electrical storage device body and partially covered with the electrical storage device terminal film; and
a packaging material covering part of the electrical storage device terminal film, and the electrical storage device body.

18. The electrical storage device of claim 17 , wherein:
the first outermost layer is arranged covering part of an outer peripheral surface of the metal terminal, and the second outermost layer is arranged being in contact with the packaging material; and
the first outermost layer contains the insulating filler.
