전극(100)은 일단부에 무지부(120)가 형성될 수 있고, 전극(100)의 일단부에 형성된 무지부(120)에는 전극탭(121)이 부착될 수 있다.The electrode 100 may have a non-coated portion 120 formed at one end thereof, and an electrode tab 121 may be attached to the non-coated portion 120 formed at one end of the electrode 100.
노칭 탭부(111)는 전극(100)의 유지부(110)로부터 폭 방향으로 연장되도록 전극(100)을 노칭(notching)함에 따라 형성될 수 있는데, 전극(100)의 유지부(110) 전체 길이의 1/3 이상에 해당하는 영역에서 전극집전체만 연장되도록 형성되며 활물질(a)은 도포되지 않을 수 있다.The notching tab part 111 may be formed by notching the electrode 100 to extend in the width direction from the holding part 110 of the electrode 100, and the entire length of the holding part 110 of the electrode 100 is notched. It is formed so that only the electrode current collector is extended in a region corresponding to 1/3 or more of the active material (a) may not be applied.
이러한 노칭 탭부(111)는 전극(100)으로부터 연장된 유지부(110)에서 활물질(a) 만을 제거하여 형성할 수 있고, 또는 전극(100)의 유지부(110) 영역에서 활물질(a)이 도포되지 않은 채 전극 포일만 연장하여 형성할 수도 있다.The notching tab part 111 may be formed by removing only the active material a from the holding part 110 extending from the electrode 100, or the active material a may be formed in the holding part 110 region of the electrode 100. It can also be formed by extending only the electrode foil without being coated.
따라서 무지부 형성을 극소화하면서 멀티탭을 형성하는 효과가 있을 수 있고, 무지부 형성을 극소화하여 전지 용량을 확보할 수 있다.Therefore, there can be an effect of forming a multi-tap while minimizing the formation of the uncoated portion, and it is possible to secure the battery capacity by minimizing the non-coated portion formation.
도 3은 도 2에서 노칭 탭부를 커팅하여 노칭탭을 형성한 것을 도시한 사시도이다.3 is a perspective view illustrating a notching tab formed by cutting the notching tab part in FIG. 2.
도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 노칭 탭부(111)는 권취된 상태에서 커팅되어 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)을 형성할 수 있다. 노칭탭(111a)의 수가 많아지면 전체 전극 탭의 저항은 줄어들게 된다.As shown in FIG. 3, the notching tabs 111 may be cut in a wound state to form a plurality of notching tabs 111a. As the number of notching tabs 111a increases, the resistance of all the electrode tabs decreases.
이때, 하나의 노칭탭(111a)의 폭은 4mm ~ 5mm를 형성하는 것이 좋은데, 이러한 이유는 노칭탭(111a)의 폭이 4mm 미만이면 기계적 강도가 약할 수 있고, 노칭탭(111a)의 폭이 5mm 초과하면 캔부재와의 전기적 연결을 위한 접합의 과정에서 변형이 어려울 수 있기 때문이다. At this time, it is preferable that the width of one notching tab 111a is 4mm to 5mm. For this reason, if the width of the notching tab 111a is less than 4mm, the mechanical strength may be weak, and the width of the notching tab 111a may be reduced. This is because if it exceeds 5 mm, deformation may be difficult in the process of bonding for electrical connection with the can member.
포일탭인 노칭탭(111a)의 기계적 강도를 강화하여 노칭탭(111a)이 절곡된 상태에서 끊어지지 않게 함에 따라 노칭탭(111a)을 절곡한 상태에서 캔부재에 접합할 수 있어 전기적 연결의 신뢰성을 확보하면서 접합력을 높일 수 있다.Reinforcing the mechanical strength of the notching tab 111a, which is a foil tab, so that the notching tab 111a is not broken in a bent state, so that the notching tab 111a can be joined to the can member in a bent state, thereby providing reliable electrical connection. You can increase the bonding strength while securing.

도 4 및 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 이차전지에 따른 전극조립체(1)는 캔부재(10)에 수용하면서 노칭탭(111a)을 절곡한 상태로 캔부재(10)와 전기적으로 연결되도록 캔부재(10)에 노칭탭(111a)의 절곡부를 용접 결합할 수 있다.4 and 5, the electrode assembly 1 according to the secondary battery of the present invention is electrically connected to the can member 10 in a state in which the notching tab 111a is bent while being accommodated in the can member 10. The bent portion of the notching tab 111a may be welded to the can member 10 so as to be connected.
노칭탭(111a)을 절곡하여 노칭탭(111a)의 끝단이 캔부재(10)의 저면 중심 측에 결합되게 하여 전기적 연결을 원활히 하면서 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)이 전기적으로 연결되어 전기 저항을 극소화할 수 있다.The notching tab 111a is bent so that the end of the notching tab 111a is coupled to the bottom center side of the can member 10 to facilitate electrical connection, and the plurality of notching tabs 111a are electrically connected to minimize electrical resistance. can do.
도 8은 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따라 노칭탭과 전극탭을 접합한 것을 도면에서 도시한 저면도이고, 도 9는 도 8을 측면에서 도시한 측면도이다.FIG. 8 is a bottom view of the notching tab and the electrode tab bonded in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a side view of FIG.
도 8 및 도 9에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 이차전지는 전극(100)이 권취된 전극조립체(1)에서 노칭 탭부(111)는 커팅되어 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)을 형성하고, 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)은 절곡되어 전극조립체(1)의 단부 중앙부에 형성된 전극탭(121)에 겹쳐지게 연결될 수 있다.As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the secondary battery according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the notching tab part 111 is cut from the electrode assembly 1 in which the electrode 100 is wound to form a plurality of notching tabs 111a. And a plurality of notching tabs 111a may be bent and connected to the electrode tab 121 formed at the center portion of the end of the electrode assembly 1.
그리고 전극조립체(1)는 캔부재(10)에 수용되고, 전극탭(121)과 겹쳐지게 연결된 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)은 전극탭(121)과 함께 캔부재(10)에 용접 등에 의해 접합될 수 있다.The electrode assembly 1 is accommodated in the can member 10, and the plurality of notching tabs 111a connected to the electrode tab 121 are joined to the can member 10 together with the electrode tab 121 by welding or the like. Can be.
상술한 바와 같이 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 이차전지는 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)과 전극탭(121)을 서로 겹쳐지게 연결한 상태에서 캔부재(10)에 함께 용접 접합하기 때문에 용접 공정성 확보가 쉬울 수 있다.As described above, the secondary battery according to another embodiment of the present invention secures welding processability because the secondary battery is welded and joined together to the can member 10 in a state where the plurality of notching tabs 111a and the electrode tab 121 are overlapped with each other. Can be easy.
본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 이차전지는 전극조립체(1)의 단부의 지름의 길이가 16mm ~ 21mm일 때, 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)의 노칭 길이가 8mm ~ 11mm의 범위일 수 있다. 이러한 이유는 노칭탭(111a)의 노칭 길이가 8mm미만이면 노칭탭(111a)의 길이가 짧아 노칭탭(111a)이 절곡되어 전극조립체(1)의 단부 중앙부에 형성된 전극탭(121)에 겹쳐지기 어려울 수 있다. 또한, 노칭탭(111a)의 노칭 길이가 11mm를 초과 하면 노칭탭(111a)의 길이가 필요 이상으로 길어져 재료 낭비로 인한 비용 증가와 노칭탭(111a)이 캔부재(10) 내부에서 차지하는 공간이 많아져 캔부재(10) 내부에 채워지는 전해액의 양이 줄어듬에 따른 용량 저하의 원인이 될 수 있다. 바람직하게 노칭탭(111a)의 노칭 길이는 9mm ~ 10mm 인 것이 좋다.In the secondary battery according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the length of the diameter of the end of the electrode assembly 1 is 16 mm to 21 mm, the notching length of the plurality of notching tabs 111a may be in the range of 8 mm to 11 mm. The reason for this is that if the notching length of the notching tab 111a is less than 8 mm, the length of the notching tab 111a is short and the notching tab 111a is bent to overlap the electrode tab 121 formed at the center portion of the end of the electrode assembly 1. It can be difficult. In addition, if the notching length of the notching tab 111a exceeds 11 mm, the length of the notching tab 111a becomes longer than necessary, thereby increasing the cost due to material waste and the space occupied by the notching tab 111a in the can member 10. The increase in the amount of the electrolyte filled in the can member 10 may cause a decrease in capacity. Preferably, the notching length of the notching tab 111a may be 9 mm to 10 mm.
본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 이차전지는 노칭탭(111a)의 절곡부와 전극(100)이 권취된 전극조립체(1)의 단부와의 사이에 절연부재(130)를 형성할 수 있다.In the secondary battery according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the insulating member 130 may be formed between the bent portion of the notching tab 111a and the end of the electrode assembly 1 in which the electrode 100 is wound.
절연부재(130)는 노칭탭(111a)과 전극조립체(1)의 단부와의 사이를 절연하여 노칭탭(111a)과 전극조립체(1)의 사이에 접촉을 방지할 수 있다.The insulating member 130 may insulate between the notching tab 111a and the end of the electrode assembly 1 to prevent contact between the notching tab 111a and the electrode assembly 1.
복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)은 전극조립체(1)의 단부 외곽부에 형성되어 절연부재(130)를 전극조립체(1)의 단부에 설치하는 것을 방해하지 않도록 할 수 있다.The plurality of notching tabs 111a may be formed at an outer periphery of the end of the electrode assembly 1 so as not to interfere with the installation of the insulating member 130 at the end of the electrode assembly 1.
복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)을 전극조립체의 외곽에 형성하여 복수 개의 노칭탭(111a)과 전극조립체(1)의 단부 사이에 절연부재(130)를 설치할 수 있게 함에 따라 노칭탭(111a)과 전극조립체(1)의 접촉을 방지하여 안전성을 향상할 수 있다.A plurality of notching tabs 111a are formed on the outer periphery of the electrode assembly to allow the insulating member 130 to be installed between the plurality of notching tabs 111a and the ends of the electrode assembly 1, thereby notching tabs 111a and the electrodes.
