Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the damage of a core body and improve the current collecting effect by covering a fitting section with resin when fitting a metal terminal to the terminal fitting section of the conducting core body, impregnating the exposed core body with a pasty active material, removing the resin, and fixing the metal terminal here. CONSTITUTION:A conducting core body is formed with a lengthy metal fiber sintered substrate 1 with the thickness of about 1.5mm and the porosity of about 95%, molten paraffin 3 is coated on a belt-shaped terminal fitting section 2 with the width of about 3mm located at the side end section to keep the fitting section 2 at the holeless state. A pasty active material 4 mainly made of nickel hydroxide is filled in the substrate 1, but the fitting section 2 is covered with paraffin 3, and the filling is restricted within the region other than the fitting section 2. The substrate 1 is heated and dried for 10min at 20 deg.C to remove the moisture in the active material 4, and the paraffin on the fitting section 2 is melted and removed. This substrate 1 is rolled with a roller into a lengthy electrode 5 with the thickness of 0.5mm, lead terminals 6 are spot- welded to the fitting section 2, it is then cut off at the preset size.

(Prior art) As a method of attaching a terminal to a conductive core for a conventional alkaline battery, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1863/1983,
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.

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.

(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.

(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.

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.

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.
