In addition, as shown in Figure 3, punching sheet 100 has that upper plate portion that all-in-one-piece is connected with the upper limb 22A (being equivalent to folding line) of front wall portion 22 forms sheet 25F, the upper plate portion that is connected with the upper limb 23A (being equivalent to folding line) of rear wall parts 23 forms sheet 25R.In addition, form sheet 25F, 25R by this pair upper plate portion and form upper plate portion 25.
It is described in detail in detail, and each upper plate portion forms the rectangle of growing crosswise (the plate shape that broad ways extends) that sheet 25F, 25R are formed as extended separately in the width of whole front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23.In addition, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, each upper plate portion forms sheet 25F, 25R and bends for benchmark (is equivalent to the inner side of exterior body 11) to the inside with upper limb 22A, 23A of front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23, and with each formation sheet 25F, 25R are divided into up and down two-part folding line 22C, 23C (Fig. 3) for benchmark more to the inside (inner side of exterior body 11) bending, during in side-looking (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) roughly L-shaped bend.
As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, each upper plate portion formation sheet 25F, 25R have: first kink 25F1, the 25R1 bent towards magnesium pole 15 from front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23 both sides; Bend from the front end (being equivalent to folding line 22C, 23C) of first kink 25F1,25R1 and abut second kink 25F2,25R2 of magnesium pole 15, by the top of their supporting magnesium pole 15.
Be more specifically, the upper plate portion of rear wall parts 23 forms the Width of sheet 25R in magnesium pole 15, having in the position of both side edges of the tab portion 15T corresponding to magnesium pole 15 can gap K (with reference to figure 3), accordingly with the boundary line between tab portion 15T and the non-tab portion that there is not tab portion 15T for benchmark is divided into tab portion side cutting part 25X and non-tab portion side cutting part 25Y.In addition, as shown in Figure 4, at tab portion side cutting part 25X, the first kink 25R1 is formed as the length of the rear surface MR extending to magnesium pole 15 from rear wall parts 23, and the second kink 25R2 abuts the rear surface MR of magnesium pole 15 by bending downwards.Like this, upper plate portion forms sheet 25R and builds bridge between the rear surface MR and rear wall parts 23 of magnesium pole 15, forms sheet 25R restriction rear wall part 23 side, magnesium pole 15 move (moving to the side in contrast to air pole 13 place) by upper plate portion.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, at non-tab portion side cutting part 25Y, the first kink 25R1 strides across magnesium pole main part 15A, and the second kink 25R2 is bent into and abuts with the front surface MF of magnesium pole 15.Like this, upper plate portion forms sheet 25R and builds bridge between the front surface MF and rear wall parts 23 of magnesium pole 15, forms sheet 25R restriction magnesium pole 15 move (moving to air pole 13 side) wall portion 22 side forward by upper plate portion.Like this, the upper plate portion of rear wall parts 23 form sheet 25R limit magnesium pole 15 forwards, backwards both sides move.
In addition, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, form sheet 25F in the upper plate portion of front wall portion 22, the first kink 25F1 is formed as the length of the front surface MF extending to magnesium pole 15 from front wall portion 22.In addition, the second kink 25F2 consists of the front surface MF of the second kink 25R2 abutting magnesium pole 15 of sheet 25F via the upper plate portion of rear wall parts 23 bending downwards.Like this, build bridge between the front surface MF and front wall portion 22 of magnesium pole 15, form sheet 25F restriction magnesium pole 15 by upper plate portion and move (moving to air pole 13 side) wall portion 22 side forward.
Like this, the upper plate portion of front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23 forms sheet 25F, 25R both sides play the supporting kink of supporting magnesium pole 15 effect by a part for bending sheet materials.
The number of assembling steps of magnesium air cell 10 is then described.
First the punching sheet 100 be made up of the sheet material containing paper is prepared.Afterwards with the leading edge 21A of base plate 21 and trailing edge 21B for this punching sheet 100 folding twice makes front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23 erect setting by benchmark, and the left and right sides wall portion bending front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23 forms sheet 24F, 24R, is undertaken engaging and form left and right sides wall portion 24 (the first assembling procedure) by thermal welding.Exterior body 11 can be assembled into the upwards uncovered state in inner space like this.In addition, in this first assembling procedure, the V-shaped (with reference to Fig. 4, Fig. 5) protruded downwards when base plate 21 is bent into side-looking.
Next, from top, magnesium pole 15 is inserted in exterior body 11, makes the lower end of magnesium pole 15 compress the part 21T (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) of the downward protrusion of base plate 21 and position (the second assembling procedure) the lower end of magnesium pole 15.
Next, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, the upper plate portion be connected with rear wall parts 23 is formed sheet 25R bend towards magnesium pole 15 and form the first kink 25R1, and form being equivalent to folding line 23C (Fig. 3) bending downwards of the first kink 25R1 front end the second kink 25R2 (the 3rd assembling procedure) abutted with magnesium pole 15.
Now, as shown in Figure 4, in the upper plate portion formation sheet 25R of rear wall parts 23, tab portion side cutting part 25X bends and abuts rear surface MR under the rear surface MR side direction of magnesium pole 15, moves to limit rear wall part 23 side, magnesium pole 15.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, non-tab portion side cutting part 25Y strides across magnesium pole main part 15A and bends under the front surface MF side direction of magnesium pole 15 and abut front surface MF, moves wall portion 22 side forward to limit magnesium pole 15.
Afterwards, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, the upper plate portion be connected with front wall portion 22 is formed sheet 25F bend towards magnesium pole 15 and form the first kink 25F1, and form the second kink 25F2 (the 4th assembling procedure) being equivalent to folding line 22C (Fig. 3) bending downwards of the first kink 25F1 front end.Because this second kink 25F2 builds bridge between the front surface MF and front wall portion 22 of magnesium pole 15, so restriction magnesium pole 15 is moved (moving to air pole 13 side) wall portion 22 side forward.
Like this, form sheet 25F, 25R the past rear support magnesium pole 15 by a pair, front and back upper plate portion and magnesium pole 15 is positioned, can prevent magnesium pole 15 from misplacing.
In addition, close exterior body 11 by thermal welding, and a pair upper plate portion in front and back forms sheet 25F, 25R and forms sheet 25F, 25R not shown parts (adhesive material such as cover or adhesive tape) each other and interconnected each other by installing from top for engaging upper plate portion.In addition, about air pole 13, can be arranged on exterior body 11 before the first assembling procedure, also can (such as after the 4th assembling procedure) carry out installing (bonding) after exterior body 11 is assembled.Magnesium air cell 10 can be assembled by above step, electrolyte can be injected in exterior body 11 as during battery.
Magnesium air cell 10 after following explanation assembling.
As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, the structure of magnesium air cell 10 is, the exterior body 11 be made up of the sheet material containing paper along front and back will and magnesium pole 15 between cover across gap SF, SR, and to cover these gaps SF, SR from top and a pair, front and back upper plate portion to be formed the structure of sheet 25F, 25R bending by the mode being horizontally through this gap SF, SR.
Therefore, the amount of exterior body 11 electrolyte inside can not only be guaranteed and magnesium pole 15 can be kept with the position that simple structure is leaving air pole 13.And, because exterior body 11 is formed by the sheet material containing paper, therefore can alleviate the weight of exterior body 11 or cut down finished cost.
Also have, the critical piece forming magnesium air cell 10 only needs exterior body 11, magnesium pole 15, these three parts of air pole 13 (comprising tab portion 13T), therefore can make that number of components is less, weight that assembling reduction in man-hour and entirety alleviate magnesium air cell 10.
In addition, the top of magnesium pole 15 is formed sheet 25F, 25R supporting by a pair, front and back upper plate portion and lower end is located at the part 21T place of the downward protrusion of base plate 21, so can improve the supporting force of magnesium pole 15 and effectively prevent dislocation.
In addition, for magnesium pole 15, due to the gap SR that can inject electrolyte can be arranged in the opposition side of air pole 13, so there is following advantage: the product generated between magnesium pole 15 and air pole 13 because of exoelectrical reaction (is Mg (OH) in this structure 2: magnesium hydroxide) opposition side of air pole 13 is pushed at any time from the gap SF between air pole 13 and magnesium pole 15, the electrolyte of air pole and opposition side back and forth flows between magnesium and air pole, and therefore exoelectrical reaction is easy to continue to carry out.
In Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, Reference numeral UL represents the liquid level of electrolyte.
A pair, front and back upper plate portion forms sheet 25F, 25R and is positioned at the position more top than the liquid level UL of electrolyte, and first kink 25F1,25R1 that each upper plate portion forms sheet 25F, 25R oliquely downward tilts towards magnesium pole 15.Therefore, the hydrogen that electrolyte produces because of exoelectrical reaction and upwards disperse time, electrolyte flows along the lower surface of first kink 25F1,25R1, can return rapidly and swimmingly accumulate in below electrolyte in.
In addition, first kink 25F1,25R1 of each upper plate portion formation sheet 25F, 25R compresses each other.Therefore, first kink 25F1,25R1 supports each other between front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23, not only makes front wall portion 22 and rear wall parts 23 leave but also be easy to maintenance and is parallel to each other.In addition, because the upper surface of first kink 25F1,25R1 connects, so be easy to link first kink 25F1,25R1 each other with adhesive materials such as adhesive tapes.
(raw material about exterior body 11)
As mentioned above, because the exterior body 11 of the magnesium air cell 10 of present embodiment is formed by the sheet material containing paper, so can low cost be realized and lightweight.And, because this sheet material is the paper being able to compound by heat sealability resin through lamination process etc., even if so to stopping after battery discharge, when electric discharge etc. uses for a long time again, also can prevent electrolyte from oozing (leakages) to outside.Also having following advantage: by making the ratio of paper more than 50%, being easy to carry out sorting by each communal regulation as waste paper etc., discard and easily obtain.Therefore, low cost, lightweight and be easy to the superior magnesium air cell 10 such as discarded can be provided.
(supporting structure about metal pole (magnesium pole 15))
But in existing metal-air cell, have and propose following structure: by positive pole, demarcation strip and the negative material that is made up of gel metal, encase with the exterior body that the laminate comprising heat sealability resin bed is shaped, make the cell interior volume occupation rate of negative material more than 40% and less than 90% (such as Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2004-288571 publication).
But, the structure that above-mentioned patent documentation is recorded is, stacked and form there is certain thickness power generation element to oxygen diffusion paper, air pole piece, demarcation strip, gelled negative electrode metal, negative pole aggregate, in this power generation element being accommodated, remaining on the pit part that is formed between negative side laminate and side of the positive electrode laminate, therefore there is the problem that number of components is more, the amount of electrolyte is less.
If the amount of electrolyte is few, enough capacity cannot be obtained for the battery consuming electrolyte in exoelectrical reaction.In addition, cannot bearing metal pole (negative pole) for reduce when number of components saves certain power generation element parts (such as demarcation strip), be difficult to reduce number of components.In addition, if number of components is more, causes assembling to increase or weight increase man-hour, be unfavorable for reducing costs.
Consider the problems referred to above, desirable to provide can not only guaranteeing again the amount of electrolyte, lightweight metal-air cell with simple structure support metal pole.
As mentioned above, the exterior body 11 of the magnesium air cell 10 of present embodiment is formed by the sheet material containing paper.This sheet material not only covers magnesium pole (metal pole) 15 across gap SF, SR, and integrally have and a part for sheet material to be bent and a pair upper plate portion played a role as supporting kink being horizontally through gap SF, SR and supporting magnesium pole 15 forms sheet 25F, 25R, therefore can not only carry out the so simple structure support magnesium pole 15 of bending by a part for the exterior body 11 will formed by the sheet material containing paper, amount or the weight reduction of electrolyte can also be guaranteed.In addition, higher gravimetric energy density can be obtained by alleviating the weight of exterior body 11.
Further, due to without the need to the special-purpose member for supporting magnesium pole 15, therefore can reduce number of components, still easily can add the structure of the power generation element beyond magnesium pole 15 in addition.Therefore, be easy to reduce costs and the change degree of freedom of structure is also higher.
In addition, keep magnesium pole 15 because a pair upper plate portion forms the position that sheet 25F, 25R are leaving air pole 13, so magnesium pole 15 and air pole 13 reliably can be separated and interpolar can be kept to have enough electrolyte.In addition, the distance (standoff distance) suitably kept between magnesium pole 15 and air pole 13 is easy to.
In addition, have because each upper plate portion forms sheet 25F, 25R: first kink 25F1, the 25R1 bent towards magnesium pole 15 from the wall portion (rear wall parts 23) being positioned at the wall portion (front wall portion 22) of air pole 13 side and the opposition side of air pole 13 relative to the magnesium pole 15 sheet material (punching sheet 100); Bend with the front end from the first kink 25F1 and 25R1 and abut second kink 25F2,25R2 of magnesium pole 15, so magnesium pole 15 can be supported with simple bending structure.
First kink 25F1,25R1 had both been located at the top more top than the liquid level UL of the electrolyte in exterior body 11, be set as again and oliquely downward tilt towards magnesium pole 15, therefore, do not make electrolyte be difficult to externally leak by means of only first kink 25F1,25R1, and the electrolyte being attached to first kink 25F1,25R1 lower surface can be made effectively to return.
In addition, on the Width of magnesium pole 15, the upper plate portion be connected with rear wall parts 23 forms sheet 25R with the boundary line between tab portion 15T and the non-tab portion that there is not tab portion 15T for benchmark is divided, one of tab portion side cutting part 25X (Fig. 3) and non-tab portion side cutting part 25Y (Fig. 3) restriction magnesium pole 15 is moved to air pole 13 side, another cutting part restriction magnesium pole 15 is moved to the side in contrast to air pole 13 place, therefore, tab portion 15T can form again sheet 25R each cutting part 25X by the upper plate portion be connected with rear wall parts 23 can be avoided, 25Y limits magnesium pole 15 and moves to air pole 13 side and opposition side.
In addition, embed due to exterior body 11 lower end had for magnesium pole 15, be bent into the base plate 21 protruding shape downwards, therefore can position with the lower end of simple bending structure to magnesium pole 15 and prevent dislocation.
(peristome about exterior body)
The exterior body of existing metal-air cell uses metal can or resin container usually.Because this exterior body needs filler or seal for preventing electrolyte leakage, therefore production part increasing number, assembling man-hour or cost increase problem, further, likely because of filler or seal bad or deteriorated and cause electrolyte leakage, exterior body self can become heavy.
In existing metal-air cell, have and propose following structure: by positive pole, demarcation strip and the negative material that is made up of gel metal, encase (such as Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2004-288571 publication) with the exterior body that the laminate comprising heat sealability resin bed is shaped, the battery beyond metal-air cell is used to the compound paper vessel (such as Japan Patent No. 4296771 publication) being compounded with exterior body and paper.

(the 4th execution mode)
Figure 21 is the stereogram of the magnesium air cell 10 of the 4th execution mode, and Figure 22 is the sectional side view of the magnesium air cell of the 4th execution mode.
The structure of this magnesium air cell 10 is: having for accommodating containing electrolytical electrolyte host body 41 in the electrolytic solution, forming electrolyte as dissolving electrolyte by water filling during battery.Usually, compare electrolyte (salt solution), the water capacity easily obtains, as long as so prepared water just can use battery, just can not use by place restriction, it has such advantage.
Electrolyte host body 41 have be arranged on magnesium pole 15 in contrast to the pole plate installation sheet 42 on the face of air pole 15 side and the bag 43 that is located on pole plate installation sheet 42.
As shown in figure 22, pole plate installation sheet 42 is sandwiched in being kept between a pair, front and back upper plate portion formation sheet 25F, 25R of exterior body 11.Be more specifically, as shown in figure 22, upper plate portion forms outside (the be equivalent to upside) bending of second kink 25F2,25R2 to exterior body 11 of sheet 25F, 25R, the top of pole plate installation sheet 42 is sandwiched between these second kinks 25F2,25R2, under this state, fetch by hot melt be bonded with each other second kink 25F2,25R2 and pole plate installation sheet 42.Like this, maintenance is suspended in midair by exterior body 11 in the top of pole plate installation sheet 42.
Figure 23 (A) is the stereogram observing electrolyte host body 41 and magnesium pole 15 from air pole 13 side together, and Figure 23 (B) is the stereogram observed from the opposition side of air pole 13.
Pole plate installation sheet 42 is by the sheet material same with the sheet material forming exterior body 11, i.e. paper and heat sealability resin, and by lamination process etc., the sheet material of compound is formed.This pole plate installation sheet 42 have all-in-one-piece for cover the back side of magnesium pole 15 sheet main body 42A, to bend from the bottom of sheet main body 42A and the pair of right and left bottom fitting portion 42B supplying the bottom of magnesium pole 15 to embed, a part for the center upper portion of sheet main body 42A to be cut and the upside fitting portion 42C chimeric with the recess 15D being located at top, magnesium pole 15.The above-below direction of magnesium pole 15 relative to pole plate installation sheet 42 and the movement of fore-and-aft direction is limited by these three fitting portions 42B, 42C.
Crimping is fixing mutually by pair of right and left crimping metalwork 45 for this pole plate installation sheet 42 and magnesium pole 15.Be more specifically, can with the fringing metalwork (metalwork of grommet or the grommet that is otherwise known as) circular hole being carried out to fringing as crimping metalwork 45, run through in the pair of right and left circular hole of pole plate installation sheet 42 and magnesium pole 15 by this crimping metalwork 45 is installed to, just can fixed polar plate installation sheet 42 and magnesium pole 15.
Now, a crimping metalwork 45 is fixed with the metalwork of the front end being located at distribution 15H.Like this, magnesium pole 15 and distribution 15H can easily be connected.This distribution 15H is pulled to outside exterior body 11, as the tab portion 15T shown in Fig. 1 or the part being used as negative pole distribution through the space 28K (Figure 21) being located at exterior body 11.In addition, the other end of this distribution 15H is provided with splicing ear (being connector terminals in this structure) 15J used when distribution connects, and is easy to be connected with other distributions.
In addition, in the example of Figure 21, indicate following situation: on the top of air pole 13 with the crimping metalwork 46 connection wiring 13H identical with described crimping metalwork 45, in addition, the other end of this distribution 13H is provided with identical splicing ear 13J.
As shown in figure 22, the bottom of bending pole plate installation sheet 42 and the bottom fitting portion 42B that formed are to be same as the length of the standoff distance (being equivalent to gap SF) between magnesium pole 15 and front wall portion 22, and wall portion 22 side is given prominence to and abutted with the back side of front wall portion 22 forward.Like this, fitting portion 42B in bottom plays the effect standoff distance of magnesium pole 15 and air pole 13 being constrained to constant limiting part.
In addition, as shown in Figure 23 (B), pole plate installation sheet 42 is provided with the pair of right and left bottom kink 42D formed to the opposition side bending of air pole 13 its underpart.As shown in figure 22, these bottoms kink 42D is to be same as the length of the standoff distance (being equivalent to gap SR) between magnesium pole 15 and rear wall parts 23, rear wall part 23 side is given prominence to and is abutted with the back side of rear wall parts 23, plays the effect standoff distance of magnesium pole 15 and rear wall parts 23 being constrained to constant limiting part.
Like this, effectively can prevent the dislocation of bottom at fore-and-aft direction of magnesium pole 15, thus suitably can keep the standoff distance between magnesium pole 15 and air pole 13.
Bag 43 is formed by paper, nonwoven fabrics, the water-soluble material such as starch-series film or polyvinyl alcohol film of dank material, wafer and so on of to weave cotton cloth and so on.Such as using behind the inside putting into described bag 43 as electrolytical sodium chloride, by thermal welding by the upper bond of bag 43 on pole plate installation sheet 42.By carrying out thermal welding to the top of bag 43, even if in the various attitude such as to turn upside down, also becoming electrolyte and can not reveal outside or drain to outside structure.In addition, the joint of above-mentioned pole plate installation sheet 42 and bag 43 is not limited to thermal welding, also can use stapler or adhesive tape etc.
The installation site of this bag 43 be set at the back side (with the face of opposition side, magnesium pole 15) of pole plate installation sheet 42, as the below of the hole portion 25H (with reference to Figure 16) of the water filling port of water.Therefore, can electrolyte be dissolved rapidly with the water injected and generate rapidly suitable electrolyte.
Electrolyte in this structure, is arranged on pole plate installation sheet 42 due to electrolytical bag will be surrounded by, so can be avoided to be attached to the state of affairs that magnesium pole 15 occurs in corrosion.In addition, when sodium chloride being used as electrolyte, described bag 43 has the gap also less than the particle diameter of sodium chloride, has and does not make solid sodium chloride pass through and water penetration that water is passed through.Be specially, the particle diameter due to sodium chloride is modal is 0.4mm, therefore preferably the average pore size of bag 43 than the particle diameter also little 0.05mm ~ 0.3mm of described sodium chloride.
When sodium chloride is used as electrolyte, preferred mass is 4% ~ 18% of the quality of the water injected.The empirical tests such as inventor are learnt: during less than 4%, the resistance of electrolyte becomes large and voltage drop becomes large, and therefore the lower electricity sent of voltage is less.But, if more than 18%, be saturation condition at electric discharge sodium chloride in latter stage and separate out, be deposited in the interpolar of inside battery and hinder exoelectrical reaction, cannot discharge.
In addition, above-mentionedly material beyond sodium chloride can also be comprised when sodium chloride is used as electrolyte.In other words, as long as now electrolytical principal component is sodium chloride, also other compositions can be contained.
As shown in Figure 23 (B), the cut 51 that pole plate installation sheet 42 is provided with a part that be positioned at the top of bag 43, that cut this sheet 42 and is formed.This cut 51 forms L word section and integrally has and to bend from the sheet main body 42A of pole plate installation sheet 42 and the horizontal plate part 51A of horizontal-extending, to bend downwards and abut the rear wall abutting part 51B of rear wall parts 23 from the front end of horizontal plate part 51A.
Horizontal plate part 51A is configured in the below of the hole portion 25H of the water filling port as water and is positioned at the top of bag 43, plays the effect of the proliferation part spread towards periphery by water offset this horizontal plate part 51A of injection.Be more specifically, across the multiple aperture of gap-forming on horizontal plate part 51A, make a part of water fall through aperture and be spread towards periphery by the water of remainder downwards.Like this, the water of injection carried out spreading and is supplied to bag 43, can effectively dissolve the electrolyte in bag 43 and make electric discharge start time be easy to send electric power ahead of time.In addition, reduce concentration ratio when water filling starts and be easy to avoid local corrosion.
In addition, when carrying out water filling with water filling fixture etc., horizontal plate part 51A also plays the effect of the reference value of the insertion depth of water filling fixture.Like this, can prevent from damaging bag 43 because of water filling fixture etc.
In addition, produce hydrogen because of the self discharge reaction of magnesium after discharge is started, so electrolyte is mixed because of the generation of this hydrogen, concentration ratio can be reduced further.
In addition, as shown in figure 23, in the present embodiment, cut 51 is arranged to pair of right and left, can bend either one or two cut according to the size of bag 43.Such as, in the example of Figure 23 (B), because bag 43 is only configured in the below of a cut 51, as long as so bending one cut 51.If in contrast, bag 43 be located at the whole below of two cut 51 and wider width time, bend two cut 51, by effectively electrolyte can be dissolved from two side holes portion 25H water filling.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the face of the opposition side of the air pole 13 in magnesium pole 15 is provided with electrolyte host body 41, its for accommodate by water filling in exterior body 11 as battery operated electrolyte, therefore be not only the solvent only adding electrolyte and just can be used as battery, the corrosion of the magnesium pole 15 of causing by electrolytical impact can also be prevented.
In addition, due to electrolyte host body 41, there is the pole plate installation sheet 42 on the face of the opposition side of the air pole 13 being arranged on magnesium pole 15 as the sheet material containing paper and engage with pole plate installation sheet 42 to accommodate electrolytical bag 43, so the corrosion of the magnesium pole 15 loading sheet material and can prevent from being subject to electrolytical impact and cause between magnesium pole 15 and electrolyte.In addition, owing to being arranged on exterior body 11 without the need to being used for accommodating electrolytical bag 43, be therefore easy to the structure simplifying exterior body 11, the installation exercise of bag 43 also easily carries out in addition.
Because pole plate installation sheet 42 crimping is fixed on magnesium pole 15, bag 43 welding is on pole plate installation sheet 42, and therefore, the installation of pole plate installation sheet 42 and bag 43 becomes easy.
Pole plate installation sheet 42 has and carries out a part for this sheet 42 bending limiting magnesium pole 15 relative to the fitting portion 42B of this sheet 42 movement and upside fitting portion 42C (limiting unit), magnesium pole 15 is remained on exterior body 11 by pole plate installation sheet 42 is remained on exterior body 11, therefore, without the need to arranging the structure being used for directly keeping magnesium pole 15 in exterior body 11 side, be easy to the structure simplifying exterior body 11.
In addition, due to the more top Suspending fixation pole plate installation sheet 42 of the base plate 21 at exterior body 11, so without the need to the magnesium pole 15 be bearing on this pole plate installation sheet 42 is positioned in the base plate 21 of exterior body 11.Therefore, the degree of freedom of the lower end position of magnesium pole 15 can be improved, as shown in figure 22, the lower end of the lower end of magnesium pole 15 and air pole 13 can be made roughly to be in sustained height.Like this, the part of the cell reaction being almost unprofitable to magnesium pole 15 can be reduced and the miniaturization of magnesium pole 15 can be realized.
In addition, in the 4th execution mode, describe the situation of Suspending fixation pole plate installation sheet 42 above more top than the base plate 21 of exterior body 11, but as shown in figure 24, also pole plate installation sheet 42 can be extended downward the base plate 21 arriving exterior body 11 and the bottom of pole plate installation sheet 42 is positioned in base plate 21.Now, the base plate 21 of exterior body 11 can be utilized to support relatively heavier magnesium pole 15.
One example of electrolyte host body 41 now represents in Figure 25 (A) and Figure 25 (B).As shown in Figure 25 (A) and Figure 25 (B), pole plate installation sheet 42 is bent into be formed consistent with the opening shape in exterior body 11 be flat flat part 42G.Like this, can guarantee there is larger contact area between the bottom (flat part 42G) of pole plate installation sheet 42 and the base plate 21 of exterior body 11, can not only guarantee that the supporting force of pole plate installation sheet 42 can also suppress base plate 21 to be out of shape.
In addition, the bottom (flat part 42G) due to pole plate installation sheet 42 embeds the movement be limited all around in exterior body 11, therefore effectively can limit pole plate installation sheet 42 and misplace.
In Figure 25 (A) and Figure 25 (B), for above-mentioned pole plate installation sheet 42, the extension 42H stretched out to the left and right is provided with in the more top position of above-mentioned flat part 42G, not only center side bends each extension 42H and by one partial insertion flat part 42G to the left and right, forms bottom, the left and right fitting portion 42B that the bottom for magnesium pole 15 embeds like this.But the restriction in each portions such as bottom fitting portion 42B or flat part 42G is not limited to above-mentioned shape, can appropriate change.
In addition, in Figure 25 (A) and Figure 25 (B), pole plate installation sheet 42 is not formed cut 51 (with reference to Figure 23 (B)).That is, also can appropriate change with or without cut 51.Like this, the shape in each portion of pole plate installation sheet 42 also can in the scope that can realize above-mentioned each function appropriate change.
