装構造となっている。2. Description of the Related Art In an alkaline dry battery in which a power generating element is housed in a metal battery can, the outer periphery of the battery is externally covered with a metal outer can. In many cases, the cell is covered and insulated with a heat-shrinkable exterior material such as a shrink label or a shrink tube, and the exterior structure is simpler than using a metal exterior can.

い。However, the heat-shrinkable outer material as described above has a lower strength than a metal outer can, and depending on the shape of a battery housing case and terminals of a device using a battery, an excessive force may be applied. As a result, a heat-shrinkable exterior material such as a shrink label or a shrink tube may be damaged, and an external short circuit may occur in the battery. As an insulating coating material for preventing such an external short circuit, there is an example in which an ultraviolet curable resin is formed on the end face of the opening of the metal battery can and on the peripheral edge thereof (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-63901). Since it is harmful to the human body, it is not preferable to use this as a manufacturing environment, and generally, the ultraviolet irradiation device is large-scale and is not preferable in terms of cost.

部に当接するように配設されている。In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a bottomed cylindrical metal can also serving as a positive electrode terminal. The metal can 1 is filled with a positive electrode mixture 2 formed into a cylindrical pressure. The positive electrode mixture 2 is obtained by mixing a manganese dioxide powder, a graphite powder, and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte, storing the mixture in a metal can 1, and press-molding the mixture into a hollow cylinder at a predetermined pressure. The hollow portion of the positive electrode mixture 2 is filled with a gelled negative electrode 4 via a bottomed cylindrical separator 3 made of a nonwoven fabric of acetalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber. A negative electrode current collector rod 5 made of brass is inserted into the gelled negative electrode 4 so that the upper end thereof protrudes from the gelled negative electrode 4. A double annular insulating gasket 6 made of a polyamide resin is provided on the projecting outer peripheral surface of the negative electrode current collector rod 5 and the upper inner peripheral surface of the metal can 1. A ring-shaped metal plate 7 is disposed between the double annular portions of the gasket 6, and a metal sealing plate 8 of a hat-shaped metal bottom serving also as a negative electrode terminal is provided above the metal plate 7 with a head of the current collecting rod 5. It is arranged so as to abut.

The inside edge of the metal can 1 is sealed by the gasket 6 and the metal sealing plate 8 by bending the opening edge of the metal can 1 inward. The material of the heat-shrinkable resin that can be used here is not particularly limited as long as it is an insulating heat-shrinkable resin, but a polymer material mainly containing vinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like is generally used. In this example, a 50 μm thick tube mainly composed of polyethylene terephthalate was used.

For comparison, a conventional battery without the heat-shrinkable tube 9 and using a conventional metal sealing body also serving as a hat-shaped negative electrode terminal was prepared. In the evaluation, assuming that the shrink label was damaged, an AA sample battery partly deliberately damaged was used and set in an AA battery case (TYPE314) manufactured by Chitose Electric Co., Ltd. The existence of a battery short circuit when dropped 1000 times from a height of about 10 cm was investigated at n = 100. Table 1 shows the results.
