Such as circumference 8a, 8b and its leading section 9a of lid 8 towards top 2c, 3c not through each sidewall inside battery container (4c,
Welding bead 9 stable and sound as 5c), thus engage.This welding bead 9 is formed as circumference 8a, 8b and institute throughout lid 8
Top 2c, 3c (4c, 5c) of stating each sidewall seal the part of welding, throughout lid and sidewall upper portion, the length side of side wall upper part
To or overlook under periphery.
But, make sidewall be in the conventional example that the scope of 0.2～0.6mm carries out thin-walled property with uniform thickness,
This sidewall is excessively thin, based on the sealing welding instability of laser.As described above, the specific heat of aluminium alloy and melted latent heat than steel, its
Its most metals is big, and excellent heat conductivity, and based on its effect, heat rate of release is 5 times of steel.Accordingly, as weld part
Sidewall 21 thinning, be more difficult to local and heat, in order to melted and need supply more more heat than steel, based on laser
Sealing welding become unstable.
Laser Welding Condition without explanation, close at the general laser of the vehicle battery housing of this aluminium alloy plate
In the condition and range that soldering and sealing connects, Fig. 4 described later, the fusion penetration H of the welding bead shown in 5 become more than the 80% of the thickness of these sidewalls.
Therefore, the thickness of sidewall 21 carries out thin-walled property in the scope of described 0.2～0.6mm, and the thickness of sidewall 21 is relative to welding bead
The surplus capacity of fusion penetration H fewer.And, in the described characteristic of aluminium alloy, according to increase laser output, fibre diameter, peak value
The welding condition of output, speed of welding etc., is easily formed as its front end 22a and runs through unstable as the top 21a of sidewall
The shape of welding bead 22.
Fig. 7,8 the existing thin-walled property that the top 21a of sidewall also has the thickness impartial with constant wall thickness portion is shown after
The weld part of sidewall 21.Such as this Fig. 7, shown in 8, when based on the sealing welding of laser welding unstable when, before being easily formed as it
End 22a runs through the shape of welding bead 22 unstable as the top 21a of sidewall.Above-mentioned situation is for the side of beating upper as Fig. 7
The welding that seals of by-blow mode as formula, Fig. 8 is all identical.
So, in the case of becoming the weld bead shape that its front end 22a runs through such instability, bond strength reduces,
And sputter thing to disperse inside battery container, cause bigger damage, infringement to the content of battery container.Therefore, in order to
Form weld bead shape, the weld part perfecting, need additionally to pay substantial amounts of labour, cost when sealing welding.More particularly,
In the past, in order to form sound weld bead shape, weld part, need to sacrifice welding efficiency, reduce welding current, speed of welding, adopt
With the more expensive bonding machine being subdivided into multistage welding sequence or high control precision.
The wall thickening of sidewall：
In contrast, in order to form described stable sound welding bead 9, in the present invention, by with lid 8 sealing welding,
Each sidewall the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, the top of 5 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c as shown in Figures 1 to 3 such, described seal before welding with each sidewall
The thickness of constant wall thickness portion 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b compares in advance wall thickening partly so that ratio fetches formation by described seal weld
The fusion penetration H of welding bead thick.
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, each top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of these each sidewalls is by wall thickening partly in advance so that only court
Stretch out to the inner side of square-shaped battery casing 1 or bloat.Therefore, the wall in the outside of each top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of each sidewall is excellent
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the outer wall of constant wall thickness portion 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b with each sidewall is not caused by wall thickening identically in choosing
Heave, concavo-convex, but smooth wall.Additionally, the wall in the outside of each top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of each sidewall with described each perseverance
Determine the identical plane link of the outer wall of wall thickness, respectively constitute the smooth outside wall surface of square-shaped battery casing 1.
Here, the fusion penetration H of welding bead as at Fig. 4, in 5 diagram, be the incident direction with laser independently, be positioned at by arrow
On the extended line of the incident ray X of the laser shown in Tou, from welding bead to the 9a of its leading section for outer surface portion 9b of welding bead 9
Depth capacity (maximum fusion penetration).
The thickness (thickness of slab) of constant wall thickness portion 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b of each sidewall：T2, t3, t4, t5 as mentioned above from 0.2～
The scope of 0.6mm selects.In contrast, the thickness (thickness of slab) of top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of each sidewall：t2c、t3c、t4c、t5c
Thicker than thickness t2, t3, t4, the t5 in these constant wall thickness portions.As this target, the preferably local, flux matched ground with the formation of welding bead 9
Wall thickening so that thicker than the fusion penetration H of each welding bead in top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of these sidewalls.
Further, this wall thickening is thick partly in the way of the inner side (inner space) being only oriented towards square-shaped battery casing 1 is stretched out
Wall.The square-shaped battery casing of the present invention of Fig. 1 has wall thickening part 2c in the A-A sectional view of Fig. 2, the B-B of 3c and Fig. 3
Wall thickening part 4c in sectional view, 5c.
It by wall thickening as described above, is capable of stable laser welding.And, such as the right side institute of described Fig. 4,5
Show, be formed throughout sidewall top 2c, 3c (4c, 5c) and lid circumference 8a, 8b and its leading section 9a not through sidewall
Top 2c, 3c (4c, 5c) be such, stable and sound welding bead 9.
In addition, by the wall thickening of top 2c, 3c (4c, 5c) of sidewall, permit in the range of not through the top of sidewall
The fusion penetration H (or the size of the welding bead 9 allowing) of the welding bead 9 permitted becomes wall thickening with the original sidewall thickness from thin-walled property
Thickness and the effect that significantly increases is also bigger.
In addition, by by sidewall the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, each top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c heavy wall partly of 5 turn to the fusion penetration H of welding bead 9 with
On, also have the effect that：The range of choice of welding condition, allowed band also expand, and are capable of stable welding, thus shape
Become stable and sound welding bead 9.
That is, make welding bead 9 relax not through allowed band top, sealing welding condition of sidewall, make welding condition steady
The effect of fixedization is also bigger.In the present invention, (also include covering the 8th, rectangular base in the essential structure with described square-shaped battery casing
6th, each thickness range of sidewall) premised on the basis of, be capable of stable laser welding.
Additionally, each top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of each sidewall stretch out with the inner side being only oriented towards square-shaped battery casing 1 or bloat
Mode wall thickening partly in advance.Therefore, the perseverance of the wall in the outside of these each side wall upper part 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c and each sidewall
Determine wall thickness 2b, the outside wall surface of 3b, 4b, 5b similarly become not by wall thickening cause heave, concavo-convex smooth wall.
That is, the wall in the outside of these sidewalls include each top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of the sidewall of wall thickening and smooth turn to identical flat
Face (coplanar).
As a result, link with the identical plane of the outside wall surface in the constant wall thickness portion with described each sidewall, structure can be distinguished
The smooth outside wall surface of squarely battery container 1.Accordingly, as the Li ion battery of automobile-use, also there is following feature：?
In limited vehicle-mounted space, easily loading multiple battery containers (outer wall) each other side by side, Space is good.
Each side wall upper part 2c as described above, 3c, 4c, 5c outside wall and each sidewall constant wall thickness portion 2b,
Planarization on same level for the outside wall surface of 3b, 4b, 5b not necessarily, but has an above-mentioned excellent Space.
Here, as battery container, in order to bear sound use, sealing weld part needs enough strength of joints.Should
Strength of joint depends on the fusion penetration H of welding bead 9.Laser Welding Condition is without explanation, in the sealing welding condition of general laser
In the range of, in order to ensure enough strength of joints, the fusion penetration H of welding bead preferably with respect to sidewall the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, 5 constant wall thickness portion
Thickness t2, t3, t4, t5 are more than the 60% of the thickness of these sidewalls, more preferably more than 80%.
But, at sidewall, the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, thickness t2, t3, t4, the t5 in constant wall thickness portion of 5 is relatively thin and is in 0.2～0.6mm's
In the case of scope, owing to producing thermal strain as described above when welding, therefore penetration becomes unstable so that welding bead runs through
A part for sidewall.
In order to solve such problem, need the wall thickness making the sealing weld part based on laser to locally increase, thus press down
Heat strain.And, the problem of welding as described above is the heat needing more than the situation of steel plate as described patent document 1
Problem specific to input, aluminium alloy plate.
Turn to the mesh thicker than the fusion penetration H of welding bead accordingly, as by top heavy section 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c heavy wall of these sidewalls
Mark, preferably by the thickness (thickness of slab) of top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of each sidewall：T2c, t3c, t4c, t5c heavy wall partly turns to side
Wall the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, 5 constant wall thickness portion thickness t2, t3, t4, t5 more than 30%, more preferably more than 40%.
In the case that the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, the thickness of constant wall thickness portion 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b of 5 is mutually different for sidewall, by wall thickening
The thickness in the constant wall thickness portion of sidewall self (the target sidewall of wall thickening) is respectively as benchmark.
For the consideration of the design limit of internal volume, the manufacturing limit of wall thickening, the upper limit of this wall thickening is set to 70%
Left and right.That is, the preferred scope of this wall thickening be described sidewall constant wall thickness portion thickness 130～170%, more preferably 140～
170%.
On the side wall the not enough sidewall of the wall thickening of portion 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, 5 constant wall thickness portion thickness t2,
The 30% of t3, t4, t5 and in the case of the aluminium alloy plate of sidewall the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, the scope that the thickness of 5 is in 0.2～0.6mm, in institute
Stating under Laser Welding Condition, producing thermal strain, penetration, the welding bead degree of depth become unstable.Therefore, even if to increase laser output,
The welding condition of fibre diameter, peak value output, speed of welding etc. is corrected, and is easily formed and runs through side for its front end 22a
The top 21a of wall is such, Fig. 7, the shape of the unstable welding bead 22 shown in 8.
Incidentally, in described patent document 1, as square-shaped battery casing made of iron, as described above, strong in order to improve
Degree (rigidity), is set to thick for the side of the wall of the upper opening portion periphery being sealed by lid (mouth-sealed portion perimeter sides is thick) than pars intermedia
Side thickness thickens about about less than 25%.
As this patent document 1, do not recognize the problem sealing welding of the present invention, only improving cubic battery
In the case of the intensity of body, rigidity, owing to the cube of rigidity and thickness of slab proportionally increases, if therefore thickness of slab being thickened
10%, then rigidity can be improved more than 30%.
Therefore, for described patent document 1, completely without the wall thickening of more than 30% as the present invention, its
In record scope, about less than 25%, wall thickening little as far as possible, be directed to not hinder as its purpose is light-duty
Change.
But, as the present invention, for the weldering being formed as the top not through each sidewall for its leading section 9a, perfect
Road 9, needs to prevent thermal strain during welding, accordingly, it is considered to the thin-walled property of sidewall the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, 5 scripts, need bigger heavy wall
Change.
The development length (region) of top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of each sidewall of this wall thickening is in described battery container, welding
Precondition on the basis of, be preferably able at least cover (formation) scope that welding bead is involved, more preferably can cover weldering
The scope of the heat affected zone connecing.
Additionally, when the wall thickening of top 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c of these each sidewalls is towards the outside of square-shaped battery casing 1 shape
Become the concavo-convex of wall, thus hinder smoothing and the planarization of wall, it is therefore desirable to avoid this situation.In any case that is, also
Rather than thick towards the outside of square-shaped battery casing 1 towards inner side (inner space) wall thickening partly of square-shaped battery casing 1
Wall, each outside wall surface (outer surface of sidewall) of square-shaped battery casing 1 keeps smoothing and planarization.
It should be noted that this wall thickening can be formed with welding bead 9, the top of each sidewall for being welded by sealing
2c, 3c, 4c, 5c are each all, carry out throughout total length or full duration, it is also possible to be only formed with welding bead 9 being welded by sealing
Side wall upper part selectivity carry out.But, for the consideration of the relation of the operation difficulty etc. processed with wall thickening described later, also
Can make not seal top, the upper end wall thickening of each sidewall of welding.
