A porous sintered substrate obtained by sintering metal powder onto a porous core metal is impregnated with an active material to form an electrode plate, and ultrasonic vibration is applied to the lead attachment part of this electrode plate to create a porous core metal. A method is known in which a metal lead is exposed and fixed to the lead attachment part by ultrasonic welding or electric resistance welding. In addition, as another method, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-40145, the active material was removed from an electrode plate in which a paste-like active material was applied to a porous metal core material using a rotatable disc-shaped cutting blade. A method is known in which the core material is later brushed to form an exposed portion of the core material and a terminal is attached thereto. however.

に適さない面がある。All of these methods can be applied when the conductive core is a porous metal core, and can be applied to a sponge-like porous metal body with a three-dimensionally continuous space or a porous body made of sintered metal fibers. There is a disadvantage that it cannot be applied to a core body. That is, in these cases, the filled active material is removed together with the sponge-like porous body or the fiber sintered body by ultrasonic vibration or the disc-shaped cutting blade. This is because the metal fibers are too weak compared to the porous core metal, and the metal fibers form a three-dimensional matrix within the electrode plate. As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-625, a method that can also be applied is to cover both sides of the terminal attachment part of a porous sintered nickel board with adhesive tape made of heat-resistant synthetic resin.
After pressing the terminal mounting part on top of this adhesive tape, apply an active material to this nickel substrate, peel off this adhesive tape to form an exposed part without active material on the terminal mounting part, and spot the terminal here. A method of manufacturing electrode plates by welding is known. However, this method has the disadvantage of poor productivity and is not suitable for still production. In addition, as another method, as shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 62-252069, a conductive core made of a sintered body of metal fibers is filled with an active material, and this is cut into a predetermined size to form a unit electrode plate. There is a known method in which the active material is removed by passing the end face of the electrode plate between knurled rollers to expose the sintered part of the metal fibers, thereby forming the lead attachment part. However, with this method, the active material is crushed together with the metal fibers, and the active material cannot be completely removed, which causes problems when attaching the terminal afterwards, making it impossible to obtain a good current collection effect. Since it is processed by cutting it into plates, it is not suitable for mass production.

造することができなかった。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, in the conventional methods, when removing the active material filled in the terminal attachment part of the conductive core, it is difficult to completely remove the active material without damaging the conductive core. Therefore, it has been impossible to produce a battery electrode that can obtain a good current collecting effect.
本発明の目的は導電芯体を損傷することなく端子取付部
を露出することができ、リード端子を極板の端子取付部
に固定でき、良好な集電効果を得ることができる電池用
電極の製造方法を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a battery electrode that can expose the terminal mounting part without damaging the conductive core, fix the lead terminal to the terminal mounting part of the electrode plate, and obtain a good current collecting effect. The purpose is to provide a manufacturing method.

特徴とする電極の製造方法である。(Means and effects for solving the problems) The present invention covers the terminal mounting portion located at the end of the conductive core with a resin, fills the entire conductive core with a paste-like active material, and then coats the conductive core with a paste-like active material. This method of manufacturing an electrode is characterized in that the resin is removed by heating the body to expose a terminal attachment portion, and a metal terminal is fixed to the terminal attachment portion.

端子取付部に活物質が充填されることがないので、導電
芯体を損傷することなく端子取付部を露出させることが
でき、しかも活物質が端子取付部に残存することがない
ので。In the present invention, the terminal mounting portion is coated with resin before filling the conductive core with a paste-like active material, and the resin is removed by heating after the conductive core is filled with the active material.
Since the terminal attachment part is not filled with active material, the terminal attachment part can be exposed without damaging the conductive core, and the active material does not remain in the terminal attachment part.

おける端子取付部を露出させる特別な工程を必要とせず
、景産上特筆すべき効果がある。A battery electrode that can obtain a good current collecting effect can be manufactured. Furthermore, the resin in the terminal attachment area can be removed by a heating drying process that removes moisture from the paste-like active material filled in the conductive core, which eliminates the special process of exposing the terminal attachment area in conventional methods. There is no need for this, and it has a noteworthy effect on the economy.

65℃のパラフィン等が最適である。The resin used in the present invention is suitably solid at room temperature and melts when heated. In particular, in relation to the heating drying temperature of the paste active material, approximately 80°C
A suitable material is one that can be melted and removed by heating to about 150°C. From this point of view, paraffin or the like having a melting temperature of 45°C to 65°C is optimal.
本発明は金属繊維の焼結体よりなる導電芯体のみならず
、スポンジ状多孔体よりなる導電芯体にも適応できる。The present invention can be applied not only to a conductive core made of a sintered body of metal fibers, but also to a conductive core made of a sponge-like porous body.

(図b)。Next, this metal fiber sintered substrate (1) is filled with a paste-like active material (4) whose main component is nickel hydroxide. At this time, paraffin is applied to the terminal attachment part (2) of the conductive core (1), so the paste-like active material is filled into the metal fiber sintered substrate (1) excluding the terminal attachment part (2). (Figure b).

効果が良好な電極を製造することができる。Since the resin covering the terminal attachment part is melted and removed during the conventional active material drying process, a significant reduction in time and manufacturing costs can be expected without the need for any special process. Furthermore, since no active material remains in the terminal attachment portion, the lead terminal can be firmly attached, and an electrode with good current collection effect can be manufactured.
