本発明は、発熱体からの放熱を促進する放熱構造体およびそれを装着したバッテリーに関する。 The present invention relates to a heat radiating structure that promotes heat dissipation from a heating element and a battery to which the heat radiating structure is mounted.

自動車、航空機、船舶あるいは家庭用若しくは業務用電子機器の制御システムは、より高精度かつ複雑化してきており、それに伴って、回路基板上の小型電子部品の集積密度が増加の一途を辿っている。この結果、回路基板周辺の発熱による電子部品の故障や短寿命化を解決することが強く望まれている。 Control systems for automobiles, aircraft, ships, or household or commercial electronic devices are becoming more accurate and complex, and the density of small electronic components on circuit boards is increasing. .. As a result, it is strongly desired to solve the failure and shortening of the life of electronic components due to heat generation around the circuit board.

回路基板からの速やかな放熱を実現するには、従来から、回路基板自体を放熱性に優れた材料で構成し、ヒートシンクを取り付け、あるいは冷却ファンを駆動するといった手段を単一で若しくは複数組み合わせて行われている。これらの内、回路基板自体を放熱性に優れた材料、例えばダイヤモンド、窒化アルミニウム(AlN)、cBNなどから構成する方法は、回路基板のコストを極めて高くしてしまう。また、冷却ファンの配置は、ファンという回転機器の故障、故障防止のためのメンテナンスの必要性や設置スペースの確保が難しいという問題を生じる。これに対して、放熱フィンは、熱伝導性の高い金属(例えば、アルミニウム)を用いた柱状あるいは平板状の突出部位を数多く形成することによって表面積を大きくして放熱性をより高めることのできる簡易な部材であるため、放熱部品として汎用的に用いられている(特許文献1を参照)。 In order to realize quick heat dissipation from the circuit board, conventionally, the circuit board itself is made of a material having excellent heat dissipation, a heat sink is attached, or a cooling fan is driven by a single means or a combination of multiple means. It is done. Of these, a method in which the circuit board itself is made of a material having excellent heat dissipation, for example, diamond, aluminum nitride (AlN), cBN, or the like, makes the cost of the circuit board extremely high. In addition, the arrangement of the cooling fan causes problems such as failure of the rotating device called the fan, maintenance necessity for preventing the failure, and difficulty in securing the installation space. On the other hand, the heat radiating fin is a simple one that can increase the surface area and further improve the heat radiating property by forming a large number of columnar or flat plate-shaped projecting portions using a metal having high thermal conductivity (for example, aluminum). Since it is a member, it is widely used as a heat-dissipating component (see Patent Document 1).

ところで、現在、世界中で、地球環境への負荷軽減を目的として、従来からのガソリン車あるいはディーゼル車を徐々に電気自動車に転換しょうとする動きが活発化している。特に、フランス、オランダ、ドイツをはじめとする欧州諸国の他、中国でも、電気自動車が近年普及してきている。電気自動車の普及には、高性能バッテリーの開発の他、多数の充電スタンドの設置などの課題がある。特に、リチウム系の自動車用バッテリーの充放電機能を高めるための技術開発が大きな課題となっている。上記自動車バッテリーは、摂氏60度以上の高温下では充放電の機能を十分に発揮できないことが良く知られている。このため、先に説明した回路基板と同様、バッテリーにおいても、放熱性を高めることが重要視されている。 By the way, at present, there are active movements around the world to gradually convert conventional gasoline-powered vehicles or diesel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles for the purpose of reducing the burden on the global environment. In particular, electric vehicles have become widespread in recent years in China as well as in European countries such as France, the Netherlands, and Germany. The spread of electric vehicles has issues such as the development of high-performance batteries and the installation of a large number of charging stations. In particular, technological development for enhancing the charge / discharge function of lithium-based automobile batteries has become a major issue. It is well known that the above-mentioned automobile battery cannot fully exert its charge / discharge function at a high temperature of 60 degrees Celsius or higher. For this reason, it is important to improve the heat dissipation of the battery as well as the circuit board described above.

バッテリーの速やかな放熱を実現するには、アルミニウム等の熱伝導性に優れた金属製の筐体に水冷パイプを配置し、当該筐体にバッテリーセルを多数配置し、バッテリーセルと筐体の底面との間に密着性のゴムシートを挟んだ構造が採用されている。以下、図を参照して説明する。 In order to quickly dissipate heat from the battery, place the water cooling pipe in a metal housing with excellent thermal conductivity such as aluminum, place a large number of battery cells in the housing, and place the battery cell and the bottom of the housing. A structure in which an adhesive rubber sheet is sandwiched between the two is adopted. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the drawings.

図7は、従来のバッテリーの概略断面図を示す。図7のバッテリー100は、多数のバッテリーセル101を、アルミニウム若しくはアルミニウム基合金から成る筐体102の内底面103上に備える。筐体102の底部104には、冷却水を流すための水冷パイプ105が備えられている。バッテリーセル101は、底部104との間にゴムシート(例えば、室温硬化型シリコーンゴム製のシート)106を挟んで筐体102内に固定されている。このような構造のバッテリー100では、バッテリーセル101は、ゴムシート106を通じて筐体102に伝熱して、水冷によって効果的に除熱される。 FIG. 7 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional battery. The battery 100 of FIG. 7 includes a large number of battery cells 101 on the inner bottom surface 103 of the housing 102 made of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy. The bottom 104 of the housing 102 is provided with a water cooling pipe 105 for flowing cooling water. The battery cell 101 is fixed in the housing 102 with a rubber sheet (for example, a sheet made of room temperature curable silicone rubber) 106 sandwiched between the battery cell 101 and the bottom portion 104. In the battery 100 having such a structure, the battery cell 101 transfers heat to the housing 102 through the rubber sheet 106, and the heat is effectively removed by water cooling.

しかし、図7に示すようなバッテリー100の軽量化の要求に応えるには、ゴムシート106のさらなる軽量化を図る必要がある。また、ゴムシート106の軽量化により、バッテリーセル101とゴムシート106との熱抵抗(熱伝導性を悪くする特性)を上昇させてはならない。これは、バッテリー100のみならず回路基板や電子機器本体のような他の発熱体からの除熱に関しても同様である。 However, in order to meet the demand for weight reduction of the battery 100 as shown in FIG. 7, it is necessary to further reduce the weight of the rubber sheet 106. Further, the weight reduction of the rubber sheet 106 must not increase the thermal resistance (characteristic of deteriorating thermal conductivity) between the battery cell 101 and the rubber sheet 106. This also applies not only to the battery 100 but also to the removal of heat from other heating elements such as a circuit board and an electronic device main body.

The heat conductive material 11b may be a filler having any shape such as granular, needle-like, fibrous, and plate-like. Since the long heat radiating sheet 11 needs to be in close contact with a heating element (for example, a battery cell described later), it is preferable that the long heat radiating sheet 11 has adhesiveness to the heating element. Therefore, the rubber hardness measured by the Asker rubber hardness tester C type (ASKAR-C) of the long heat radiating sheet 11 is preferably 10 to 20 degrees.

本明細書では、「交差」は、平行以外の位置関係を意味し、直角で交わる関係に限定されず、交わる限り如何なる角度で交わる場合も含む。また、「所定間隔」は、特定の幅を意味するものではなく、また、一定の幅であることも意味しない。この実施形態では、長尺状放熱シート11は、好ましくは、同シート11の幅以下の所定間隔で並べて配置されている。 In the present specification, "intersection" means a positional relationship other than parallel, and is not limited to a relationship that intersects at a right angle, and includes a case where the relationship intersects at any angle as long as it intersects. Further, the "predetermined interval" does not mean a specific width, nor does it mean that the width is a constant width. In this embodiment, the long heat radiating sheets 11 are preferably arranged side by side at predetermined intervals equal to or less than the width of the sheet 11.

この実施形態に係る放熱構造体10は、13本の長尺状放熱シート11を所定間隔で並べて、それら長尺状放熱シート11を、長尺状放熱シート11の長さ向かって並ぶ16本の連結部材13によって連結する構造を有するシート状の放熱構造体である。連結部材13の総重量は、長尺状放熱シート11の総重量より小さい。長尺状放熱シート11のみから放熱構造体10を構成する場合と比べて、より軽量化を図る必要からである。また、放熱構造体10の外形領域を長尺状放熱シート11のみで構成する場合と比べて、この実施形態の放熱構造体10の方が軽量となるように、連結部材13の数、形態および構成材料が選択されるのが好ましい。さらには、連結部材13の密度は、好ましくは、長尺状放熱シート11の密度より小さい。連結部材13の厚さは、好ましくは、長尺状放熱シート11の厚さに比べて小さい。長尺状放熱シート11の数は、2本以上であれば13本に限定されない。また、連結部材13の数は、2本以上であれば16本に限定されない。 In the heat radiating structure 10 according to this embodiment, 13 long heat radiating sheets 11 are arranged at predetermined intervals, and 16 long heat radiating sheets 11 are arranged toward the length of the long heat radiating sheet 11. It is a sheet-shaped heat radiating structure having a structure of being connected by a connecting member 13. The total weight of the connecting member 13 is smaller than the total weight of the long heat radiating sheet 11. This is because it is necessary to further reduce the weight as compared with the case where the heat radiating structure 10 is formed only from the long heat radiating sheet 11. In addition, the number, form, and form of the connecting members 13 so that the heat radiating structure 10 of this embodiment is lighter than the case where the outer region of the heat radiating structure 10 is composed of only the long heat radiating sheet 11. It is preferable that the constituent material is selected. Furthermore, the density of the connecting member 13 is preferably smaller than the density of the elongated heat radiating sheet 11. The thickness of the connecting member 13 is preferably smaller than the thickness of the long heat radiating sheet 11. The number of long heat radiating sheets 11 is not limited to 13 as long as it is two or more. Further, the number of connecting members 13 is not limited to 16 as long as it is two or more.

連結部材13は、複数の長尺状放熱シート11の表裏両面を縫うように配置されている。より具体的には、連結部材13は、所定位置の長尺状放熱シート11の表面から隣の長尺状放熱シート11の裏面へと順に縫うように配置されている。この実施形態では、放熱構造体10は、連結部材13と長尺状放熱シート11とを平織りした構造を有する。連結部材13は、金属、炭素系材料あるいはセラミックスを含むシートである。より好ましい連結部材13は、熱可塑性樹脂やセルロースを母材とするシート内に、金属、炭素系材料あるいはセラミックスのフィラーを分散させた複合シートである。当該フィラーを構成する金属、炭素系材料またはセラミックスは、長尺状放熱シート11中の熱伝導材11bの材料候補と同様である。連結部材13は、複数本の長尺状放熱シート11を連結して固定する機能に加え、好ましくは、複数の長尺状放熱シート11の間において熱を伝える機能を有する。連結部材13は、好ましくは、長尺状放熱シート11よりも低粘着性の部材である。長尺状放熱シート11は、前述のように、好ましくは高粘着性を発揮するシートである。しかし、長尺状放熱シート11の粘着性が高すぎると、発熱体と容易に接着してしまい、取り扱いが困難な場合がある。例えば、発熱体をバッテリーセルとするバッテリー内に放熱構造体10を組み込む際に、長尺状放熱シート11の過度な粘着性が組み込みを困難にすることもある。比較的粘着性の低い連結部材13を長尺状放熱シート11と編み込むと、放熱構造体10全体としての粘着性を低くすることができる。連結部材13はこのような機能も併せ持つ。 The connecting member 13 is arranged so as to sew both the front and back surfaces of the plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11. More specifically, the connecting member 13 is arranged so as to be sewn in order from the front surface of the long heat radiating sheet 11 at a predetermined position to the back surface of the adjacent long heat radiating sheet 11. In this embodiment, the heat radiating structure 10 has a structure in which the connecting member 13 and the long heat radiating sheet 11 are plain-woven. The connecting member 13 is a sheet containing a metal, a carbon-based material, or ceramics. A more preferable connecting member 13 is a composite sheet in which a filler of a metal, a carbon-based material, or a ceramic is dispersed in a sheet made of a thermoplastic resin or cellulose as a base material. The metal, carbon-based material, or ceramics constituting the filler is the same as the material candidate of the heat conductive material 11b in the long heat radiating sheet 11. The connecting member 13 has a function of connecting and fixing a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 and preferably a function of transferring heat between the plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11. The connecting member 13 is preferably a member having a lower adhesiveness than the long heat radiating sheet 11. As described above, the long heat-dissipating sheet 11 is preferably a sheet exhibiting high adhesiveness. However, if the long heat-dissipating sheet 11 is too adhesive, it may easily adhere to the heating element, making it difficult to handle. For example, when incorporating the heat radiating structure 10 into a battery having a heating element as a battery cell, the excessive adhesiveness of the long heat radiating sheet 11 may make the incorporation difficult. When the connecting member 13 having a relatively low adhesiveness is woven with the long heat radiating sheet 11, the adhesiveness of the heat radiating structure 10 as a whole can be lowered. The connecting member 13 also has such a function.

連結部材13の内の連結部材13aは、図1Aの放熱構造体10を構成する13本の長尺状放熱シート11の内、図1Aの左側から右側に向かって、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表の順に交互に長尺状放熱シート11の表面と裏面とに接しながら配置される。また、連結部材13の内の連結部材13bは、図1Aの放熱構造体10を構成する13本の長尺状放熱シート11の内、図1Aの左側から右側に向かって、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏、表、裏の順に交互に長尺状放熱シート11の表面と裏面とに接しながら配置される。連結部材13aと連結部材13bは、長尺状放熱シート11の長さ方向に交互に配置される。このように、13本の長尺状放熱シート11は、これと略直角方向に配置される各8本の連結部材13aと8本の連結部材13bとによって表裏方向から挟まれ、編みこまれた状態となっている。 The connecting member 13a in the connecting member 13 is front, back, front, back, front, back, front, back, from the left side to the right side of FIG. 1A, among the 13 long heat dissipation sheets 11 constituting the heat dissipation structure 10 of FIG. 1A. , Front, back, front, back, front, back, front, back, front are arranged alternately in contact with the front surface and the back surface of the long heat radiating sheet 11. Further, the connecting member 13b in the connecting member 13 is the back, front, and back of the 13 long heat radiating sheets 11 constituting the heat radiating structure 10 in FIG. 1A from the left side to the right side in FIG. 1A. , Front side, back side, front side, back side, front side, back side, front side, back side, front side, back side alternately arranged in contact with the front side and the back side of the long heat radiating sheet 11. The connecting member 13a and the connecting member 13b are alternately arranged in the length direction of the long heat radiating sheet 11. In this way, the 13 long heat radiating sheets 11 are sandwiched and woven from the front and back directions by each of the eight connecting members 13a and the eight connecting members 13b arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the 13 long heat radiating sheets 11. It is in a state.

連結部材13a,13bと長尺状放熱シート11との接触部分には、好ましくは接着剤が介在されている。このため、放熱構造体10は、容易にくずれない。なお、接着剤以外の固定手段にて、連結部材13a,13bと長尺状放熱シート11とが固定されていても良い。また、連結部材13a,13bと長尺状放熱シート11との交差位置において、連結部材13a,13bにより長尺状放熱シート11を縛って固定するようにしても良い。また、長尺状放熱シート11の長さ方向に沿って、連結部材13aと連結部材13bとを順に交互配置せずに、連結部材13aまたは連結部材13bのいずれかを連続配置しても良い。 An adhesive is preferably interposed at the contact portion between the connecting members 13a and 13b and the long heat radiating sheet 11. Therefore, the heat radiating structure 10 does not easily collapse. The connecting members 13a and 13b and the long heat radiating sheet 11 may be fixed by a fixing means other than the adhesive. Further, at the intersection of the connecting members 13a and 13b and the long heat radiating sheet 11, the long heat radiating sheet 11 may be bound and fixed by the connecting members 13a and 13b. Further, either the connecting member 13a or the connecting member 13b may be continuously arranged along the length direction of the long heat radiating sheet 11 without alternately arranging the connecting member 13a and the connecting member 13b in order.

2. Battery (1) First Embodiment FIG. 2 shows a vertical sectional view of a battery according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a situation in which the battery cell in FIG. 2 is arranged on the heat radiating structure.

図2に示すように、放熱構造体10は、1または複数のバッテリーセル30を搭載したバッテリー20に備えられている。放熱構造体10は、少なくともバッテリーセル30と冷却部材25との間に配置されている。放熱構造体10は、バッテリー20内の熱源の一例であるバッテリーセル30と冷却部材25との間にあって、バッテリーセル30から冷却部材25に熱を伝導させるための放熱構造体である。バッテリー20は、図2に示すように、冷却部材25を接触させる筐体21内に、熱源としての複数のバッテリーセル30を備えたバッテリーである。バッテリーセル30の冷却部材25に近い側の端部と冷却部材25に近い側の筐体21の一部(底部22)との間に、バッテリーセル30から冷却部材25に熱を伝導させるための放熱構造体10が備えられている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the heat radiating structure 10 is provided in the battery 20 equipped with one or a plurality of battery cells 30. The heat radiating structure 10 is arranged at least between the battery cell 30 and the cooling member 25. The heat radiating structure 10 is located between the battery cell 30 and the cooling member 25, which is an example of a heat source in the battery 20, and is a heat radiating structure for conducting heat from the battery cell 30 to the cooling member 25. As shown in FIG. 2, the battery 20 is a battery having a plurality of battery cells 30 as heat sources in a housing 21 in which the cooling member 25 is brought into contact with the battery 20. To conduct heat from the battery cell 30 to the cooling member 25 between the end of the battery cell 30 near the cooling member 25 and a part (bottom 22) of the housing 21 near the cooling member 25. The heat radiating structure 10 is provided.

次に、バッテリー20の構成についてより詳細に説明する。この実施形態において、バッテリー20は、例えば、電気自動車用のバッテリーであって、多数のバッテリーセル30を備える。バッテリー20は、一方に開口する有底型の筐体21を備える。筐体21は、好ましくは、アルミニウム若しくはアルミニウム基合金から成る。バッテリーセル30は、筐体21の内部24に配置される。バッテリーセル30の上方には、電極31,32(図3を参照)が突出して設けられている。複数のバッテリーセル30は、好ましくは、筐体21内において、その両側からネジ等を利用して圧縮する方向に力を与えられて、互いに密着するようになっている(不図示)。筐体21の底部22には、冷却部材25の一例である冷却水を流すために、1または複数の水冷パイプ23が備えられている。バッテリーセル30は、底部22との間に、放熱構造体10を挟むようにして筐体21内に配置されている。このような構造のバッテリー20では、バッテリーセル30は、放熱構造体10を通じて筐体21に伝熱して、水冷によって効果的に除熱される。なお、冷却部材25は、冷却水に限定されず、液体窒素、エタノール等の有機溶剤も含むように解釈される。冷却部材25は、冷却に用いられる状況下にて、液体であるとは限らず、気体あるいは固体でも良い。 Next, the configuration of the battery 20 will be described in more detail. In this embodiment, the battery 20 is, for example, a battery for an electric vehicle and includes a large number of battery cells 30. The battery 20 includes a bottomed housing 21 that opens to one side. The housing 21 is preferably made of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy. The battery cell 30 is arranged inside 24 of the housing 21. Electrodes 31 and 32 (see FIG. 3) are projected above the battery cell 30. The plurality of battery cells 30 are preferably brought into close contact with each other in the housing 21 by applying a force in the direction of compression from both sides thereof using screws or the like (not shown). The bottom 22 of the housing 21 is provided with one or more water cooling pipes 23 for flowing cooling water, which is an example of the cooling member 25. The battery cell 30 is arranged in the housing 21 so as to sandwich the heat radiating structure 10 with the bottom portion 22. In the battery 20 having such a structure, the battery cell 30 transfers heat to the housing 21 through the heat radiating structure 10 and is effectively removed by water cooling. The cooling member 25 is not limited to cooling water, but is interpreted to include an organic solvent such as liquid nitrogen and ethanol. The cooling member 25 is not limited to a liquid under the conditions used for cooling, and may be a gas or a solid.

図3に示すように、バッテリーセル30の底部を放熱構造体10上に配置すると、当該底部が完全に平面でなくとも、放熱構造体10を構成する長尺状放熱シート11が、わずかに向きを変えながら当該底部に密着しやすくなる。バッテリーセル30には、アルミニウムなどの金属製のシートを樹脂シートで挟んだラミネート構造を有する容器に電解液を封入したものを好適に用いることができる。バッテリーセル30の軽量化を通じてバッテリー20の軽量化を図ることができる。このような柔らかな容器を有するバッテリーセル30を用いる場合、高硬度の放熱板では、バッテリーセル30の底部と放熱板との間に隙間が生じてしまい、熱伝導が悪化しやすい。一方、ゴム状弾性体11aに熱伝導材11bを分散した放熱シートだけでバッテリーセル30に接触させると、当該放熱シートの重量が大きすぎ、バッテリー20の軽量化を図ることが難しい。この実施形態に係る放熱構造体10は、長尺状放熱シート11を間引きした状態として、その間引きした部分より軽量の連結部材13を長尺状放熱シート11の連結に用いている。加えて、連結部材13を熱伝導手段として機能するようにすると、軽量化および放熱性に共にすぐれた放熱構造体10を得ることができる。 As shown in FIG. 3, when the bottom portion of the battery cell 30 is arranged on the heat radiating structure 10, the long heat radiating sheet 11 constituting the heat radiating structure 10 is slightly oriented even if the bottom portion is not completely flat. It becomes easier to adhere to the bottom while changing. As the battery cell 30, a battery cell 30 in which an electrolytic solution is sealed in a container having a laminated structure in which a metal sheet such as aluminum is sandwiched between resin sheets can be preferably used. The weight of the battery 20 can be reduced by reducing the weight of the battery cell 30. When a battery cell 30 having such a soft container is used, a gap is formed between the bottom of the battery cell 30 and the heat sink in the high hardness heat sink, and heat conduction tends to deteriorate. On the other hand, if the heat-dissipating sheet in which the heat conductive material 11b is dispersed in the rubber-like elastic body 11a is brought into contact with the battery cell 30, the weight of the heat-dissipating sheet is too large, and it is difficult to reduce the weight of the battery 20. In the heat radiating structure 10 according to this embodiment, the long heat radiating sheet 11 is thinned out, and a connecting member 13 lighter than the thinned out portion is used for connecting the long heat radiating sheet 11. In addition, if the connecting member 13 functions as a heat conductive means, it is possible to obtain a heat radiating structure 10 which is excellent in both weight reduction and heat radiating property.

(2)第2実施形態
図4は、本発明の第2実施形態に係るバッテリーの縦断面図および一部Bの拡大図を示す。
(2) Second Embodiment FIG. 4 shows a vertical sectional view of a battery according to a second embodiment of the present invention and an enlarged view of a part B.

第2実施形態に係るバッテリー20aは、複数のバッテリーセル30と冷却部材25との間に放熱構造体10を配置すると共に、複数のバッテリーセル30同士の間にも放熱構造体10を配置している。放熱構造体10は、長尺状放熱シート11を複数並べる方向(幅方向)に長い形状を有する1枚のシートである。放熱構造体10は、一端17から底部22の内底面に沿って延出して、各バッテリーセル30の隙間を縫うように他端18に至るように、筐体21の内部24に配置されている。ただし、放熱構造体10は、複数枚のシートとして、底部22の内底面に敷くシートと、バッテリーセル30同士の間に挿入する1または複数のシートとに分離していても良い。バッテリー20aにおける上述の点以外は、第1実施形態に係るバッテリー20の構成と共通する。このため、共通する部分については、第1実施形態における説明をかり、この実施形態での重複した説明を省略する。 In the battery 20a according to the second embodiment, the heat radiating structure 10 is arranged between the plurality of battery cells 30 and the cooling member 25, and the heat radiating structure 10 is also arranged between the plurality of battery cells 30. There is. The heat radiating structure 10 is a single sheet having a long shape in the direction (width direction) in which a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 are arranged. The heat radiating structure 10 is arranged inside 24 of the housing 21 so as to extend from one end 17 along the inner bottom surface of the bottom portion 22 and reach the other end 18 so as to sew a gap between the battery cells 30. .. However, the heat radiating structure 10 may be separated into a sheet laid on the inner bottom surface of the bottom portion 22 and one or a plurality of sheets inserted between the battery cells 30 as a plurality of sheets. Except for the above points in the battery 20a, the configuration of the battery 20 according to the first embodiment is common. Therefore, the common parts will be described in the first embodiment, and the duplicated description in this embodiment will be omitted.

3.放熱構造体の変形例
次に、放熱構造体10の各種変形例について説明する。
3. 3. Deformation Examples of the Heat Dissipation Structure Next, various deformation examples of the heat dissipation structure 10 will be described.

図5Aは、図1Bの放熱構造体の一部拡大正面図を示す。図5Bは、図1Bの放熱構造体の変形例の一部拡大正面図を示す。図5Cは、図1Bの放熱構造体の変形例の一部拡大正面図を示す。 FIG. 5A shows a partially enlarged front view of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1B. FIG. 5B shows a partially enlarged front view of a modified example of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1B. FIG. 5C shows a partially enlarged front view of a modified example of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1B.

図5Aの放熱構造体10は、長尺状放熱シート11を、その幅方向に複数並べた状態において、連結部材13aと連結部材13bとを長尺状放熱シート11の長さ方向に交互に配置し、かつ長尺状放熱シート11の表側の面と裏側の面とを交互に縫うように連結部材13a,13bを備える。放熱構造体10は、長尺状放熱シート11と連結部材13とを平織りした構成を有する。 In the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 5A, in a state where a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 are arranged in the width direction thereof, the connecting members 13a and the connecting members 13b are alternately arranged in the length direction of the long heat radiating sheet 11. The connecting members 13a and 13b are provided so as to alternately sew the front side surface and the back side surface of the long heat radiating sheet 11. The heat radiating structure 10 has a structure in which a long heat radiating sheet 11 and a connecting member 13 are plain-woven.

これに対して、図5Bの放熱構造体10aは、長尺状放熱シート11を、その幅方向に複数並べた状態において、連結部材13aと連結部材13bとを長尺状放熱シート11の長さ方向に配置し、連結部材13aを全ての長尺状放熱シート11の一方の面(表側の面)に固定し、連結部材13bを全ての長尺状放熱シート11の他方の面(裏側の面)に固定している。連結部材13aおよび連結部材13bは、それぞれ1枚でも、複数枚でも良い。連結部材13a,13bと長尺状放熱シート11とは、長尺状放熱シート11が自由に動くことのないように、接着剤等で固定されている。 On the other hand, in the heat radiating structure 10a of FIG. 5B, in a state where a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 are arranged in the width direction thereof, the connecting member 13a and the connecting member 13b are arranged in the width direction thereof, and the length of the long heat radiating sheet 11 is long. Arranged in the direction, the connecting member 13a is fixed to one surface (front surface) of all the elongated heat radiating sheets 11, and the connecting member 13b is fixed to the other surface (back surface) of all the elongated heat radiating sheets 11. ) Is fixed. The connecting member 13a and the connecting member 13b may be one or a plurality of each. The connecting members 13a and 13b and the long heat radiating sheet 11 are fixed with an adhesive or the like so that the long heat radiating sheet 11 does not move freely.

また、図5Cの放熱構造体10bは、長尺状放熱シート11を、その幅方向に複数並べた状態において、各長尺状放熱シート11を挿入する袋状部位を複数個備える連結部材13を備える。連結部材13と長尺状放熱シート11とは好ましくは接着剤等で固定されているが、固定されていなくても良い。連結部材13が柔軟性に富む材料から構成されている場合には、長尺状放熱シート11同士の間隔は容易に変化でき、放熱構造体10bの形状も自由に変えることができる。 Further, the heat radiating structure 10b of FIG. 5C includes a connecting member 13 having a plurality of bag-shaped portions into which each of the long heat radiating sheets 11 is inserted in a state where a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 are arranged in the width direction thereof. Be prepared. The connecting member 13 and the long heat radiating sheet 11 are preferably fixed with an adhesive or the like, but may not be fixed. When the connecting member 13 is made of a highly flexible material, the distance between the long heat radiating sheets 11 can be easily changed, and the shape of the heat radiating structure 10b can be freely changed.

図6Aは、図1Aの放熱構造体の概略平面図を示す。図6Bは、図1Aの放熱構造体の変形例の概略平面図を示す。図6Cは、図1Aの放熱構造体の変形例の概略平面図を示す。図6Dは、図1Aの放熱構造体の変形例の概略平面図を示す。 FIG. 6A shows a schematic plan view of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1A. FIG. 6B shows a schematic plan view of a modified example of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1A. FIG. 6C shows a schematic plan view of a modified example of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1A. FIG. 6D shows a schematic plan view of a modified example of the heat dissipation structure of FIG. 1A.

図6Aの放熱構造体10は、既に説明したように、複数本の長尺状放熱シート11と複数本の連結部材13a,13bとを平織りした構造を有する。図6Bの放熱構造体10cは、平織り構造という点では図6Aの放熱構造体10と共通するが、長尺状放熱シート11が蛇腹状に往復する1本(1枚と称しても良い)のシートである点では図6Aの放熱構造体10と相違する。また、図6Cの放熱構造体10dは、平織り構造という点では図6Aの放熱構造体10と共通するが、連結部材13が蛇腹状に往復する1本(1枚と称しても良い)のシートである点では図6Aの放熱構造体10と相違する。さらに、図6Dの放熱構造体10eは、平織り構造という点では図6Aの放熱構造体10と共通するが、1枚の長尺状放熱シート11と1枚の連結部材13とが共に蛇腹状に往復するシートである点では図6Aの放熱構造体10と相違する。 As described above, the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 6A has a structure in which a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 and a plurality of connecting members 13a and 13b are plain-woven. The heat radiating structure 10c of FIG. 6B is common to the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 6A in that it has a plain weave structure, but the long heat radiating sheet 11 reciprocates in a bellows shape (may be referred to as one sheet). It differs from the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 6A in that it is a sheet. Further, the heat radiating structure 10d of FIG. 6C is common to the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 6A in that it has a plain weave structure, but one sheet (may be referred to as one sheet) in which the connecting member 13 reciprocates in a bellows shape. This is different from the heat dissipation structure 10 of FIG. 6A. Further, the heat radiating structure 10e of FIG. 6D is common to the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 6A in that it has a plain weave structure, but one long heat radiating sheet 11 and one connecting member 13 are both bellows-shaped. It differs from the heat radiating structure 10 of FIG. 6A in that it is a reciprocating sheet.

このように、放熱構造体10,10c,10d,10eを構成する長尺状放熱シート11は1本であるか複数であるかを問わない。連結部材13も同様である。長尺状放熱シート11は、その幅方向に複数並ぶ配置を実現できれば良い。 As described above, it does not matter whether the number of long heat radiating sheets 11 constituting the heat radiating structures 10, 10c, 10d, 10e is one or a plurality. The same applies to the connecting member 13. It suffices if a plurality of long heat radiating sheets 11 can be arranged side by side in the width direction.

4.その他の実施形態
以上、本発明に係る放熱構造体およびそれを備えるバッテリーの好適な実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されることなく種々変形して実施可能である。
4. Other Embodiments The heat-dissipating structure according to the present invention and a preferred embodiment of the battery provided with the heat-dissipating structure have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be variously modified and implemented.
