Description

本発明は、鉛蓄電池に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a lead-acid battery.

車両のエンジン始動用やバックアップ電源用といった様々な用途に鉛蓄電池が用いられている。その中でも始動用鉛蓄電池は、エンジン始動用セルモータへの電力供給とともに、車両に搭載された各種電気・電子機器へ電力を供給する。エンジン始動後、電池はオルタネータによって充電される。ここで、充電と放電とがバランスし、電池のSOCがほぼ100%に維持されるよう、オルタネータの出力電圧および出力電流が設定されている。   Lead-acid batteries are used for various purposes such as vehicle engine starting and backup power supply. Among them, the start lead-acid battery supplies power to various electric and electronic devices mounted on the vehicle as well as power to the engine start cell motor. After the engine is started, the battery is charged by the alternator. Here, the output voltage and output current of the alternator are set so that charging and discharging are balanced and the SOC of the battery is maintained at approximately 100%.

このような始動用の鉛蓄電池はエンジンルーム内に設置されることが殆どである。したがって、鉛蓄電池の使用温度は40℃以上、さらには80℃といった高温になる頻度も高く、鉛蓄電池は過充電傾向で使用される。   Such a lead-acid battery for starting is almost always installed in the engine room. Therefore, the operating temperature of the lead storage battery is frequently 40 ° C. or higher, and further, the lead storage battery is frequently used at a high temperature of 80 ° C., and the lead storage battery is used with an overcharge tendency.

鉛蓄電池を過充電した場合、電解液中の水が酸素ガスと水素ガスに分解され電池外に排出されるため、電解液中の水分が減少する。その結果、電解液中の希硫酸濃度が上昇し、正極板の腐食劣化などにより容量低下が進行する。また、電解液面が低下し、極板が電解液より露出した場合には、放電容量の急激な低下や、負極板とストラップとの接続部が腐食するといった問題が発生する。   When the lead storage battery is overcharged, the water in the electrolytic solution is decomposed into oxygen gas and hydrogen gas and discharged outside the battery, so that the water in the electrolytic solution is reduced. As a result, the concentration of dilute sulfuric acid in the electrolytic solution increases, and the capacity decreases due to corrosion deterioration of the positive electrode plate. In addition, when the electrolytic solution surface is lowered and the electrode plate is exposed from the electrolytic solution, problems such as a rapid decrease in discharge capacity and corrosion of the connecting portion between the negative electrode plate and the strap occur.

このように、特に始動用の鉛蓄電池において、電解液中の水分減少(以下、「減液」という)の抑制は重大な問題である。この鉛蓄電池の減液抑制を目的として、正極格子、負極格子ともにPb−Ca系合金を用いた電池が実用化されている。   As described above, particularly in a lead-acid storage battery for start-up, suppression of moisture reduction (hereinafter referred to as “liquid reduction”) in the electrolyte is a serious problem. For the purpose of suppressing liquid reduction of this lead storage battery, a battery using a Pb—Ca-based alloy has been put into practical use for both the positive grid and the negative grid.

一方、鉛蓄電池の減液の原因は前記したような水の電気分解によるものと、単に電解液中の水分の一部が蒸発して発生した水蒸気や、電解液がミスト状となって、それぞれ電池外に放出されることによって発生するものがある。なお、始動用の鉛蓄電池では、車両走行中に振動によって電解液面が激しく揺れ動くため、セル室内部では電解液ミストが発生しやすい。また、充電時に発生したガスが電解液面から離脱する際にも、電解液のミストが発生する。   On the other hand, the cause of the liquid reduction of the lead storage battery is due to water electrolysis as described above, water vapor generated by evaporation of a part of the water in the electrolyte, and the electrolyte in a mist form, Some are generated by being discharged out of the battery. In the lead storage battery for start-up, the electrolyte surface vigorously shakes due to vibration while the vehicle is running, so that electrolyte mist is likely to be generated inside the cell chamber. Further, when the gas generated during charging is detached from the electrolyte surface, mist of the electrolyte is generated.

このような、電解液中の水分蒸発や電解液ミストの、電池外への散逸による電解液の減液を抑制するために、例えば、特許文献1には、液口に装着した液口栓を覆うシートを蓋に粘着剤で貼り付け、液口栓に設けられたガス排気のための排気孔をシートで覆う構成が示されている。   In order to suppress such reduction of the electrolyte solution due to evaporation of moisture in the electrolyte solution or dissipation of the electrolyte solution mist to the outside of the battery, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a liquid port plug attached to the liquid port. The structure which affixes the sheet | seat to cover with an adhesive with a lid | cover and covers the exhaust hole for gas exhaustion provided in the liquid stopper with a sheet | seat is shown.

このようなシートがなく、排気孔が電池外部に露出している場合、電池内外の水蒸気分圧差や、電池外の空気流によって、排気孔内部が負圧となり、電池内部の水蒸気や電解液ミストが電池外に排出される。   If there is no such sheet and the exhaust hole is exposed to the outside of the battery, the internal pressure of the exhaust hole becomes negative due to the difference in water vapor partial pressure inside and outside the battery or the air flow outside the battery. Is discharged out of the battery.

一方、特許文献1で示された構造により、排気孔と電池外気との間に、シートと蓋との間に狭窄なすき間が形成されるため、電池内の水蒸気や電解液ミストは容易にこの隙間を通過して電池外気に散逸しない。また、排気孔が電池外の空気流に直接暴露されないため、空気流による水蒸気や電解液ミストの電池外への排出が抑制される。
特開2005−276741号公報
On the other hand, the structure shown in Patent Document 1 forms a narrow gap between the exhaust hole and the outside air of the battery between the sheet and the lid, so that the water vapor and the electrolyte mist in the battery can be easily removed. The battery does not dissipate through the gap. Further, since the exhaust hole is not directly exposed to the air flow outside the battery, the discharge of water vapor or electrolyte mist to the outside of the battery due to the air flow is suppressed.
JP-A-2005-276741

特許文献1で示されたような、蓋にシートを貼り合わせる構成は、既存の電池に付加的にシートを貼り合わせて実現できるため、非常に簡便であり、前記したように、減液抑制の効果も高い。   The configuration of attaching a sheet to a lid as shown in Patent Document 1 is very simple because it can be realized by additionally attaching a sheet to an existing battery. The effect is also high.

一方、液式の鉛蓄電池において、酸素・水素ガスの発生を完全に防止することはできず、鉛蓄電池を放置あるいは充電するにあたっては必ず酸素・水素ガスの発生が伴っていた。   On the other hand, generation of oxygen / hydrogen gas cannot be completely prevented in a liquid lead-acid battery, and oxygen / hydrogen gas is always generated when the lead-acid battery is left or charged.

前記したような、鉛蓄電池を過充電傾向で使用し続けた場合、このような酸素・水素ガスの発生によって、電池内外で圧力差が生じ、電池内の気体が電池外に排出される。その際、この気体の排出と同時に、電池内の水蒸気や電解液ミストの排出も行われ、シート上あるいはシートと蓋との隙間で水や電解液として再び結露することによって、液口栓周囲に微量の電解液あるいは水が滲み出るという現象があった。   When the lead storage battery as described above is continuously used with an overcharge tendency, the generation of oxygen / hydrogen gas causes a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the battery, and the gas inside the battery is discharged outside the battery. At the same time, the water vapor and electrolyte mist in the battery are also discharged at the same time as this gas is discharged. There was a phenomenon that a small amount of electrolyte or water oozes out.

また、この滲み出た電解液や水が、蓋とシートの隙間を毛細管現象によって広がり、二蓋とシートとが、これらの電解液・水を介して最終的には、電解液や水が電池外に漏出したり、蓋とシートが密着するために、これら両者の間に貼り付きが発生して、ガスの電池外への排出が妨げられる場合があった。ガスの排出が妨げられた場合、電池内圧が上昇して、電槽やその内部に設けたセル間隔壁が変形する場合があった。このようなセル間隔壁の変形は、隣接するセル室を圧迫してその内容積が低下するため、この隣接するセル室で電解液面が上昇し、電解液が電池外へ漏出する場合があった。   In addition, the exuded electrolyte and water spread through the gap between the lid and the sheet due to capillary action, and the two lids and the sheet finally pass through these electrolyte and water, and the electrolyte and water are discharged from the battery. Since it leaked outside or the lid and the sheet were in close contact with each other, sticking occurred between them, and there was a case where discharge of gas out of the battery was hindered. When the discharge of gas was hindered, the battery internal pressure increased, and the battery case and the cell interval wall provided in the battery case were sometimes deformed. Such deformation of the cell spacing walls compresses the adjacent cell chambers and reduces the internal volume thereof, so that the electrolyte level rises in the adjacent cell chambers, and the electrolyte may leak out of the battery. It was.

本発明は、前記したような、液口栓をシートで覆った構成を有した液式の鉛蓄電池において、蓋とシートとの間の水や電解液の微量の滲出があり、これらが密着した状態で貼り付いた場合においても、電池内のガスの電池外への放出が行われることによって、電池内圧の上昇や、これによる電槽の変形を抑制するものである。   In the liquid lead-acid battery having a configuration in which the liquid spigot is covered with a sheet as described above, there is a slight amount of water or electrolyte solution between the lid and the sheet, and these are in close contact with each other. Even when attached in a state, the gas inside the battery is released to the outside of the battery, thereby suppressing the increase in the battery internal pressure and the deformation of the battery case.

前記した課題を解決するために、本発明の請求項1に係る発明は、Pb−Ca合金からなる正極格子体および負極格子体を有し、正極板と負極板とがセパレータを介して配置され、同極性の極板耳部がそれぞれ正極ストラップおよび負極ストラップで集合溶接されてなる極板群が電解液に浸漬した鉛蓄電池であって、前記極板群を収納する電槽の開口部に接合された蓋に設けた液口に装着された液口栓を備え、前記液口栓には、電池内のガスを電池外に排出するための排気孔が設けられ、前記排気孔を覆うよう、粘着剤あるいは接着剤等により、前記蓋に貼り合わされたシートを備え、前記シートと前記蓋の貼り合わせ面に、前記粘着剤あるいは前記接着剤を有さない非接合部を設け、前記非接合部において、前記蓋と前記シートとの隙間を通して前記排気孔からの排出ガスを、前記排気孔から離間した位置で電池外に排出するよう前記非接合部を設け、かつ、前記排気孔からの排出ガスを前記シートを通過させて電池外に排出するよう、前記シートの前記排気孔に対応もしくは近接した位置にスリットを形成した鉛蓄電池を示すものである。   In order to solve the above-described problem, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a positive electrode lattice body and a negative electrode lattice body made of a Pb—Ca alloy, and the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are arranged via a separator. The electrode plate group in which the electrode plate ears of the same polarity are respectively welded together by the positive electrode strap and the negative electrode strap is a lead storage battery immersed in the electrolyte, and is joined to the opening of the battery case that houses the electrode plate group Provided with a liquid spout attached to a liquid spout provided on the lid, the liquid spout is provided with an exhaust hole for discharging gas in the battery to the outside of the battery, so as to cover the exhaust hole, A sheet bonded to the lid by an adhesive or an adhesive, and a non-joining portion not having the adhesive or the adhesive is provided on a bonding surface of the sheet and the lid; In, the gap between the lid and the sheet The non-joint portion is provided so that the exhaust gas from the exhaust hole is exhausted to the outside of the battery at a position spaced from the exhaust hole, and the exhaust gas from the exhaust hole is allowed to pass through the sheet to be outside the battery. A lead storage battery in which a slit is formed at a position corresponding to or close to the exhaust hole of the sheet so as to be discharged.

さらに、本発明の請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1の構成を有した鉛蓄電池において、少なくとも2つの前記スリットを、互いに交差せず、かつ近接しあうよう配置したことを特徴とするものである。   Furthermore, the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that, in the lead storage battery having the configuration of claim 1, at least two of the slits are arranged so as not to cross each other and to be close to each other. It is.

また、本発明の請求項3に係る発明は、請求項1もしくは請求項2の構成を有した鉛蓄電池において、前記正極ストラップおよび前記負極ストラップとして、アンチモンを含まない鉛もしくは鉛合金を用いた鉛蓄電池を示すものである。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a lead-acid battery having the configuration of the first or second aspect, wherein lead or lead alloy containing no antimony is used as the positive strap and the negative strap. A storage battery is shown.

前記した本発明の構成によれば、減液特性をより向上する目的で、液口栓の排気孔を覆うシートを蓋に貼り合わせた鉛蓄電池において、シートと蓋の互いに対向する面に電解液もしくは水が滲出し、これら両者が互いに密着した場合においても、電池内ガスの電池外への放出が行われ、またこれにより、電池内圧の上昇およびこれによる電槽の変形が顕著に抑制され、信頼性の高い鉛蓄電池を提供することができる。   According to the configuration of the present invention described above, in the lead storage battery in which the sheet covering the exhaust hole of the liquid spigot is bonded to the lid for the purpose of further improving the liquid reduction characteristic, the electrolyte solution is provided on the surfaces of the sheet and the lid facing each other. Alternatively, even when water oozes out and these both adhere to each other, the gas in the battery is released to the outside of the battery, and thereby, the rise in the battery internal pressure and the deformation of the battery case due to this are remarkably suppressed, A highly reliable lead-acid battery can be provided.

以下、本発明の実施形態による鉛蓄電池の構成を説明する。本発明の実施形態による鉛蓄電池1は、図1に示したとおり、Pb−Ca合金の正極格子体を有した正極板2、Pb−Ca合金の負極格子体を有した負極板3とセパレータ4、および同極性の極板をそれぞれ集合溶接する正極ストラップ9と負極ストラップ10とからなる極板群8が、これら正極板2および負極板3の極板面全面を浸漬する電解液5とともに、電槽6のセル室6aに収納され、電槽6の上部に蓋7が接合されている。なお、正極ストラップ9および負極ストラップ10も電解液5に浸漬した状態とする。   Hereinafter, the structure of the lead acid battery by embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 1, a lead storage battery 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a positive electrode plate 2 having a Pb—Ca alloy positive electrode lattice body, a negative electrode plate 3 having a Pb—Ca alloy negative electrode lattice body, and a separator 4. , And an electrode plate group 8 composed of a positive electrode strap 9 and a negative electrode strap 10 that collectively weld electrode plates of the same polarity together with an electrolytic solution 5 that immerses the entire electrode plate surface of the positive electrode plate 2 and the negative electrode plate 3. It is stored in the cell chamber 6 a of the tank 6, and a lid 7 is joined to the upper part of the battery case 6. The positive electrode strap 9 and the negative electrode strap 10 are also immersed in the electrolytic solution 5.

蓋7には、セル8に対応して液口7aが設けられ、この液口7aには、液口栓21が装着されている。液口栓21の頭部には、排気孔22が設けられる。なお、振動によって揺れ動いた電解液5が、直接排気孔22に接触することを抑制するため、液口栓21内に防沫体21aを設けてもよい。また、この防沫体21aと排気孔22との間に、従来から知られているような、防爆用のフィルタ21bを設けてもよい。   The lid 7 is provided with a liquid port 7a corresponding to the cell 8, and a liquid port plug 21 is attached to the liquid port 7a. An exhaust hole 22 is provided in the head of the liquid spout 21. In addition, in order to suppress that the electrolyte solution 5 swayed by vibration directly contacts the exhaust hole 22, a splash-proof body 21 a may be provided in the liquid spout 21. Further, an explosion-proof filter 21b as conventionally known may be provided between the splash-proof body 21a and the exhaust hole 22.

そして、この排気孔22の上部を覆うシート23が、粘着剤24によって、蓋7に貼り合わされている。なお、シート23はその全面で蓋7に粘着剤24によって貼り合わされているのではなく、少なくとも排気孔22に対応した部分で、粘着剤24が存在しない、非接合部23aを設ける。   And the sheet | seat 23 which covers the upper part of this exhaust hole 22 is bonded by the lid | cover 7 with the adhesive 24. FIG. Note that the sheet 23 is not bonded to the lid 7 with the adhesive 24 over the entire surface, but is provided with a non-joining portion 23 a where the adhesive 24 does not exist at least at a portion corresponding to the exhaust hole 22.

非接合部23aは、排気孔22から排出された酸素・水素ガスを電池外に排出する際の、ガス排出路として機能する。したがって、図2に示したように、すべての排気孔22から電池外へのガス排出が行われるよう、例えば、非接合部23aをシート23の端部まで設け、このシート23の端部で最終的にガスが大気に排出させる。なお、図2において、シート23と蓋7との貼り合わせ面において、非接合部23aを除いた部分、すなわち、粘着剤24で貼り合わせた部分を斜線部Aとして示した。   The non-joining portion 23a functions as a gas discharge path when the oxygen / hydrogen gas discharged from the exhaust hole 22 is discharged outside the battery. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, a non-joining portion 23a is provided up to the end of the sheet 23 so that gas is discharged from all the exhaust holes 22 to the outside of the battery. Gas is exhausted to the atmosphere. In FIG. 2, on the bonding surface of the sheet 23 and the lid 7, a portion excluding the non-joined portion 23 a, that is, a portion bonded with the adhesive 24 is shown as a hatched portion A.

排気孔22に対向してシート23を配置することにより、排気孔22が電池周囲の空気流に暴露されないため、前記したような電池周囲の空気流によって、電池内部の水蒸気や電解液ミストが排気孔22から吸い出される現象が抑制されるため、電解液中の水分蒸発や電解液ミストの電池外への散逸による、減液が抑制される。   By disposing the sheet 23 so as to face the exhaust hole 22, the exhaust hole 22 is not exposed to the air flow around the battery, so that the water vapor or the electrolyte mist inside the battery is exhausted by the air flow around the battery as described above. Since the phenomenon sucked out from the hole 22 is suppressed, liquid reduction due to evaporation of water in the electrolytic solution or dissipation of the electrolytic solution mist to the outside of the battery is suppressed.

また、排気孔22から電池外部にいたる、ガス排出路は、蓋7とシート23間の、狭小な空間(高さ方向の間隙寸法として0.5mm程度以下)として存在するか、あるいは蓋7とシート23とが接触した状態で存在するため、電池内圧が大気圧よりも増大しない限り、電池内のガス、水蒸気や電解液ミストの、電池外への排出は殆ど行われない。これらにより、電解液の減液が顕著に抑制される。なお、このシート23として、耐酸性を有したポリプロピレン樹脂等の0.05〜0.5mm程度の厚みを有したものを用いればよい。   Further, the gas exhaust path extending from the exhaust hole 22 to the outside of the battery exists as a narrow space (about 0.5 mm or less as a gap dimension in the height direction) between the lid 7 and the sheet 23, or Since the sheet 23 is in contact with the sheet 23, the gas, water vapor, and electrolyte mist in the battery are hardly discharged out of the battery unless the battery internal pressure increases beyond the atmospheric pressure. As a result, the decrease of the electrolyte is remarkably suppressed. As the sheet 23, a sheet having a thickness of about 0.05 to 0.5 mm, such as a polypropylene resin having acid resistance, may be used.

本発明の鉛蓄電池1では、さらに、シート23の排気孔22に隣接した位置にスリット23cを配置する。スリット23cは通常閉じられているが、図3に示したように、電池内圧の上昇によって、排気孔22の周囲で、シート23が押し上げられた場合、スリット23cが開いて、電池内部に滞留したガスがスリット23cを介して電池外に放出されるため、電池内圧の上昇が抑制される。   In the lead storage battery 1 of the present invention, a slit 23 c is further arranged at a position adjacent to the exhaust hole 22 of the sheet 23. Although the slit 23c is normally closed, as shown in FIG. 3, when the sheet 23 is pushed up around the exhaust hole 22 due to an increase in the internal pressure of the battery, the slit 23c opens and stays in the battery. Since the gas is released outside the battery through the slit 23c, an increase in the battery internal pressure is suppressed.

本発明では、排気孔22の周囲のシート23の上方への変形によって、スリット23cが開く。したがって、スリット23cは、電池内圧の上昇によって、シート23が上方に変形する位置に設ける。   In the present invention, the slit 23 c is opened by the upward deformation of the sheet 23 around the exhaust hole 22. Therefore, the slit 23c is provided at a position where the sheet 23 is deformed upward due to an increase in the battery internal pressure.

スリット23cは、少なくとも各排気孔22毎に設けることが好ましい。また、スリット23cとしては、図2に示したような、各排気孔22毎に一つのスリット23cとすることもできるが、図4に示したような、各排気孔22毎に、複数のスリット23dを設けることもできる。通常、液口栓21に排気孔22は1個もしくは2個設けられるが、液口栓21の締め付け度合いによって、排気孔22の位置に多少のばらつきが生じる。このばらつきのよっては、排気孔22とスリット23cとの距離が離れる場合がある。   The slit 23c is preferably provided at least for each exhaust hole 22. Further, as the slit 23c, one slit 23c can be provided for each exhaust hole 22 as shown in FIG. 2, but a plurality of slits are provided for each exhaust hole 22 as shown in FIG. 23d can also be provided. Normally, one or two exhaust holes 22 are provided in the liquid spout 21, but the position of the exhaust holes 22 varies somewhat depending on the tightening degree of the liquid spout 21. Depending on this variation, the distance between the exhaust hole 22 and the slit 23c may be increased.

このような場合、電池内圧の上昇によっても、スリット23cでのシート23の上方の変形が少なく、スリット23cが開きずらくなる。したがって、排気孔22位置のばらつきを考慮して、複数のスリット23dを液口栓21の対応させて設ければ、排気孔22の位置がばらついても、常に排気孔22に近接した位置にスリット23dが存在し、この排気孔22に近接したスリット23dが開くことによって、電池内圧の上昇と、これによる電槽の変形を抑制することができる。   In such a case, even when the battery internal pressure increases, the slit 23c hardly deforms above the sheet 23, and the slit 23c is difficult to open. Therefore, in consideration of the variation in the position of the exhaust hole 22, if a plurality of slits 23 d are provided corresponding to the liquid stopper 21, the slit is always located in the vicinity of the exhaust hole 22 even if the position of the exhaust hole 22 varies. 23d is present, and the slit 23d adjacent to the exhaust hole 22 is opened, thereby suppressing an increase in the battery internal pressure and the deformation of the battery case.

図4では、複数のスリット23dを互いに平行に設けた例を示したが、少なくともスリット23dは、互いに交差しないよう、配置することが好ましい。スリット23dが交差した場合、交差した頂点を起点として、スリット23dが常にめくり上がった状態となり、結果として、スリット23dが常時開いた状態となる。そして、排気孔22からのガスや水蒸気あるいは電解液ミストが、常時開いたスリット23dから排出されるため、シート23による減液抑制効果が損なわれる。したがって、電池内圧上昇を安定して抑制するために、排気孔22に対応して、シート23に複数のスリット23dを設ける場合、各スリット23dが互いに交差しないよう、スリット23dを配置することが好ましい。   Although FIG. 4 shows an example in which a plurality of slits 23d are provided in parallel to each other, it is preferable that at least the slits 23d are arranged so as not to cross each other. When the slit 23d intersects, the slit 23d is always turned up starting from the intersecting vertex, and as a result, the slit 23d is always open. And since the gas, water vapor | steam, or electrolyte solution mist from the exhaust hole 22 is always discharged | emitted from the slit 23d opened, the liquid reduction suppression effect by the sheet | seat 23 is impaired. Therefore, in order to stably suppress an increase in the internal pressure of the battery, when providing a plurality of slits 23d in the sheet 23 corresponding to the exhaust holes 22, it is preferable to arrange the slits 23d so that the slits 23d do not intersect each other. .

本発明のさらに好ましい形態として、正極板2同士を接続するための正極ストラップ9、および、負極板3同士を接続するための負極ストラップ10に、アンチモンを含まない鉛合金を用いる。負極ストラップ10にアンチモンが含まれると、負極ストラップ10の水素過電圧が低下し、負極ストラップ10上での水素ガス発生が促進される。また、正極ストラップ9にアンチモンが含まれると、正極ストラップ9の酸化とともに、電解液5に溶出したアンチモンが負極板3上に析出することによって、負極板3の水素過電圧が低下し、負極板3上での水素ガス発生量が増大する。   As a more preferable embodiment of the present invention, a lead alloy containing no antimony is used for the positive strap 9 for connecting the positive plates 2 and the negative strap 10 for connecting the negative plates 3. When antimony is contained in the negative electrode strap 10, the hydrogen overvoltage of the negative electrode strap 10 is reduced, and the generation of hydrogen gas on the negative electrode strap 10 is promoted. Further, when antimony is contained in the positive electrode strap 9, the antimony eluted in the electrolytic solution 5 is deposited on the negative electrode plate 3 along with the oxidation of the positive electrode strap 9, thereby reducing the hydrogen overvoltage of the negative electrode plate 3. The amount of hydrogen gas generated above increases.

また、負極板3や負極ストラップ10での水素過電圧の低下によって、充電時の負極電位がより貴に移行する。通常の自動車用やバックアップ用のように、定電圧で鉛蓄電池を充電する場合、充電時の負極電位が貴へ移行した分、正極電位が貴へ移行するため、正極板2上での酸素ガス発生が促進される。また、同時、正極ストラップ9でのアンチモン溶出がより促進され、負極板3での水素ガス発生がさらに進行する。   Moreover, the negative electrode potential at the time of charging shifts more preciously due to the decrease in hydrogen overvoltage at the negative electrode plate 3 and the negative electrode strap 10. When a lead-acid battery is charged at a constant voltage, such as for ordinary automobiles and backups, the negative electrode potential at the time of charging shifts to noble, so the positive electrode potential shifts to noble, so oxygen gas on the positive electrode plate 2 Occurrence is promoted. At the same time, elution of antimony at the positive electrode strap 9 is further promoted, and hydrogen gas generation at the negative electrode plate 3 further proceeds.

そのため、正極ストラップ9及び負極ストラップ10にアンチモンを含む鉛合金を用いると、電池内部で発生した酸素・水素ガス気泡が電解液内を上昇し、これらの気泡が電解液面から離脱する際に微小な電解液滴(電解液ミスト)が生じる。これらの電解液ミストは、酸素・水素ガスが排気孔22から排出されると同時にその一部が排出され、シート23面と衝突して、再度電解液滴として結露する。   Therefore, when a lead alloy containing antimony is used for the positive electrode strap 9 and the negative electrode strap 10, oxygen / hydrogen gas bubbles generated inside the battery rise in the electrolyte solution, and when these bubbles leave the electrolyte solution, Electrolytic droplets (electrolyte mist) are generated. These electrolyte mists are partially discharged at the same time as the oxygen / hydrogen gas is discharged from the exhaust hole 22, collide with the surface of the sheet 23, and are again condensed as electrolytic droplets.

本発明の好ましい実施形態に形態においては、正極ストラップ9および負極ストラップ10にアンチモンを含まない鉛もしくは鉛合金を用いることによって、電解液ミストの結露の要因となる酸素・水素ガス発生を抑制するため、シート23と蓋7間の電解液滴の滲出と、これによるシート23と蓋7との貼り付きが抑制される。そのため、電池内部のガス滞留による、電池内圧の上昇と、これによる電槽の変形が抑制される。   In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the use of lead or lead alloy containing no antimony for the positive electrode strap 9 and the negative electrode strap 10 suppresses generation of oxygen / hydrogen gas that causes condensation of the electrolyte mist. Further, the exudation of electrolytic droplets between the sheet 23 and the lid 7 and the sticking between the sheet 23 and the lid 7 due to this are suppressed. Therefore, an increase in the internal pressure of the battery due to gas retention inside the battery and a deformation of the battery case due to this are suppressed.

なお、正極ストラップ9や負極ストラップ10に接続した、極柱12や接続体13についても、アンチモンを含まない、鉛もしくは鉛合金を用いることが好ましい。   In addition, it is preferable to use lead or a lead alloy containing no antimony for the pole column 12 and the connection body 13 connected to the positive electrode strap 9 and the negative electrode strap 10.

アンチモンを含まない鉛合金として、例えば、鉛−スズ合金あるいは鉛−カルシウム合金を用いることができる。なお、鉛あるいは鉛合金中に不可避不純物として含まれ、かつ鉛蓄電池内部でのガス発生量を増大させない程度の量のアンチモン(例えば50ppm以下)を含む場合、本発明においては、実質上、アンチモンを含まない鉛もしくは鉛合金とみなすことができる。   As the lead alloy not containing antimony, for example, a lead-tin alloy or a lead-calcium alloy can be used. In the present invention, when the amount of antimony contained in the lead or lead alloy as an inevitable impurity and does not increase the amount of gas generated inside the lead storage battery (for example, 50 ppm or less) is substantially contained in the present invention. It can be regarded as lead or lead alloy not included.

なお、鉛蓄電池1が振動した際の振動溢液や、外部スパークの電池内部への引き込みによる引火を抑制するため、図1に示したように、液口栓21内に、防沫体21aや防爆用のフィルタ21bを配置することができる。   In order to suppress vibration overflow when the lead storage battery 1 vibrates and ignition due to drawing of external sparks into the battery, as shown in FIG. An explosion-proof filter 21b can be arranged.

Moreover, about each battery after completion | finish of overcharge, the liquid bleeding state from an exhaust hole was confirmed. Furthermore, the presence or absence of sticking of the sheet and the lid and the influence of the sticking on the battery internal pressure and the battery case deformation when the lead storage battery was left in a state where such liquid bleeding occurred were evaluated.

前記した各電池の構成の一覧を表1に示す。   Table 1 shows a list of the configurations of the batteries described above.

Figure 2008071692
Figure 2008071692

前記した、本発明例および比較例の各電池を60℃の温度雰囲気下で、充電電圧14.5V(最大充電電流25A)で2000時間連続充電する間、1G(30Hz)の加速度で上下方向に振動を加えたときの、電池の質量減を減液量として測定した。また、液口栓の排気孔周囲の水・電解液の滲みや漏出状態を目視外観検査により、確認した。   While charging each battery of the present invention example and the comparative example in a temperature atmosphere of 60 ° C. at a charging voltage of 14.5 V (maximum charging current 25 A) for 2000 hours, the battery is vertically moved at an acceleration of 1 G (30 Hz). The weight loss of the battery when vibration was applied was measured as the amount of liquid reduction. In addition, the appearance and leakage of water and electrolyte around the exhaust hole of the liquid stopper were confirmed by visual appearance inspection.

上記の電池質量減の測定結果および目視外観結果の結果を表2に示す。なお、減液量は、比較例の電池Hの減液量を100%としたときの百分率で示した。   Table 2 shows the results of the measurement of the battery weight loss and the visual appearance results. In addition, the amount of liquid reduction was shown by the percentage when the amount of liquid reduction of the battery H of the comparative example was 100%.

Figure 2008071692
Figure 2008071692

表2に示した結果から、液口栓の排気孔を覆うシートを蓋に貼り合わせた電池A〜Fは、シートを使用しない電池G、Hに比較して減液量が顕著に抑制されている。なお、シートを蓋に貼り合わせることにより、シートと蓋との隙間に水・電解液の滲みが発生するが、微小な液滴がシート側に付着している程度であり、電池外に漏出するような量ではなかった。   From the results shown in Table 2, the amount of liquid reduction is significantly suppressed in the batteries A to F in which the sheet covering the exhaust hole of the liquid spigot is bonded to the lid as compared with the batteries G and H that do not use the sheet. Yes. When the sheet is attached to the lid, water / electrolyte oozes out in the gap between the sheet and the lid, but minute droplets are attached to the sheet side and leak out of the battery. It was not like this.

充電終了後、これらの電池を60℃の恒温槽(湿度0RH%)に168時間放置した。その後、各電池を4.8Aの定電流で充電したときの、電池内圧の最大値と電槽の変形状態を確認した。本試験では、充電によって電池内部でガスを故意に発生させ、そのときの電池内圧上昇によってシートと蓋の貼り付き状態を評価する。ガス発生に伴って、電池内圧が上昇する場合には、シートと蓋とが密着し、電池内部のガスが電池外部に排出できない状態に陥っていることがわかる。一方、電池内圧上昇が電槽変形を引き起こすようなレベルまで上昇しないときには、シートと蓋間に、電池内部のガスが電池外部に排出する経路が確保されており、安全上、問題のないことが確認できる。   After completion of charging, these batteries were left in a constant temperature bath (humidity 0 RH%) at 60 ° C. for 168 hours. Thereafter, the maximum value of the battery internal pressure and the deformation state of the battery case when each battery was charged with a constant current of 4.8 A were confirmed. In this test, gas is deliberately generated inside the battery by charging, and the sticking state of the sheet and the lid is evaluated by the increase in the battery internal pressure at that time. When the internal pressure of the battery rises with the generation of gas, it can be seen that the sheet and the lid are in close contact with each other and the gas inside the battery cannot be discharged outside the battery. On the other hand, when the battery internal pressure rise does not rise to a level that would cause battery case deformation, a path for the gas inside the battery to be discharged to the outside of the battery is secured between the seat and the lid. I can confirm.

本実施例においては、4.8Aの定電流充電時における電池内圧を連続して計測し、その挙動を観測した。なお、電池内圧が20kPa、すなわち、著しい電槽変形が生じるレベルに到達した場合には、充電を停止した。表3に各電池の電池内圧の挙動を示す。   In this example, the internal pressure of the battery during constant current charging of 4.8 A was continuously measured, and the behavior was observed. When the battery internal pressure reached 20 kPa, that is, reached a level where significant battery case deformation occurred, charging was stopped. Table 3 shows the behavior of the battery internal pressure of each battery.

Figure 2008071692
Figure 2008071692

表2に示したように、シートにスリットを設けない電池Eおよび電池Fについては、放置を経て充電した際に、電池内圧の異常上昇と顕著な電槽変形が認められた。これらの電池では、いずれも排気孔の周囲がシートと密着した状態になり、排気孔からのガス排出が妨げられていた。これは2000時間の連続充電によってシート表面に付着した電解液を含んだ液滴によって、シートと蓋が密着した状態となり、高温状態で放置されることによって、シートと蓋が半ば固着した状態に陥っていた。   As shown in Table 2, with respect to the battery E and the battery F in which the sheet was not provided with a slit, when the battery E and the battery F were charged after being left standing, an abnormal increase in battery internal pressure and significant battery case deformation were observed. In each of these batteries, the periphery of the exhaust hole is in close contact with the sheet, and gas discharge from the exhaust hole is hindered. This is because the sheet and the lid are brought into close contact with each other by the droplets containing the electrolyte attached to the sheet surface by continuous charging for 2000 hours, and the sheet and the lid are almost fixed by being left at a high temperature. It was.

一方、シートを用いない、電池Gおよび電池Hについては、当然のことながら、顕著な内圧上昇はない。但し、液口栓に設けた防爆用のフィルタによる通気抵抗によって、電池内圧は大気圧よりも、それぞれ1.0kPaおよび1.2kPa増加した。この程度の内圧は電槽変形に至るものではない。   On the other hand, the battery G and the battery H that do not use a sheet naturally have no significant increase in internal pressure. However, the internal pressure of the battery increased by 1.0 kPa and 1.2 kPa, respectively, from the atmospheric pressure due to the ventilation resistance of the explosion-proof filter provided in the liquid stopper. This internal pressure does not lead to battery case deformation.

本発明による電池A〜電池Dについては、シートを用いているにもかかわらず、内圧値の顕著な上昇はなく、電槽変形も抑制されていた。特に、スリット23dを複数本平行に形成した電池Cおよび電池Dについては、シートを用いない、電池Gおよび電池Fと全く同レベルの内圧上昇に留まっていた。これは、スリットを複数設けることによって、排気孔の位置が多少ばらついたとしても、常に排気孔に近接した位置にスリットが配置されるため、安定してスリットからガスが排出できたと考えられる。したがって、スリットを複数設けた電池Cおよび電池Dが、電池Aおよび電池Bに比較してより好ましい。   Regarding the batteries A to D according to the present invention, although the sheet was used, the internal pressure value was not significantly increased, and the battery case deformation was also suppressed. In particular, for the batteries C and D in which a plurality of slits 23d are formed in parallel, the internal pressure rises at the same level as the batteries G and F without using a sheet. It can be considered that by providing a plurality of slits, even if the positions of the exhaust holes vary somewhat, the slits are always arranged at positions close to the exhaust holes, so that gas can be discharged stably from the slits. Therefore, the battery C and the battery D provided with a plurality of slits are more preferable than the battery A and the battery B.

本発明の電池では、排気孔に近接して設けたスリットを設けることによって、電池内圧が上昇した場合にのみ、スリットが開いて電池内部のガスを排出する、作用を有するため、シートと蓋との間に若干の電解液が付着して両者が密着した場合においても、このスリットより電池内部で発生したガスの排出が行われるため、電池内圧の異常上昇とこれによる電槽変形が抑制される。   In the battery of the present invention, since the slit provided close to the exhaust hole has the function of opening the slit and discharging the gas inside the battery only when the internal pressure of the battery rises, the sheet and the lid Even when a slight amount of electrolyte is adhered between the two, the gas generated inside the battery is discharged from the slit, so that an abnormal increase in the internal pressure of the battery and the deformation of the battery case due to this are suppressed. .

また、ストラップ用の鉛合金に関しては、正極・負極ともにアンチモンを含まない、鉛−スズ合金を用いた電池Aおよび電池Cが、鉛−アンチモン合金を用いた電池Bおよび電池Dに比較して、電池内圧の上昇も抑制され、排気孔からのガス排出が円滑に行われ、さらには減液が抑制されるため、最も好ましい。   Regarding the lead alloy for straps, both the positive electrode and the negative electrode do not contain antimony, the battery A and the battery C using the lead-tin alloy are compared with the battery B and the battery D using the lead-antimony alloy, The increase in the internal pressure of the battery is also suppressed, the gas is smoothly discharged from the exhaust hole, and the liquid reduction is further suppressed, which is most preferable.

以上のことから、本発明によれば、排気孔を覆うシートを蓋に貼り合わせることによって、鉛蓄電池の減液特性を改善するとともに、シートと蓋に貼り合わせた場合に発生していた排気孔付近でのシートと蓋との密着による排気孔の閉塞と、これによる電池内圧の異常上昇と電槽変形を抑制できることが確認できた。   From the above, according to the present invention, the sheet covering the exhaust hole is bonded to the lid, thereby improving the liquid reduction characteristics of the lead storage battery and the exhaust hole generated when the sheet and the cover are bonded together. It was confirmed that the exhaust hole was closed due to the close contact between the sheet and the lid in the vicinity, the abnormal increase in battery internal pressure caused by this, and the battery case deformation could be suppressed.

本発明は鉛蓄電池における減液を極めて顕著に抑制するとともに、排気孔の閉塞が抑制され、充電時においても異常な内圧上昇や、電槽変形が生じない、信頼性に優れた、液式の始動用鉛蓄電池をはじめとする、様々な用途の液式の鉛蓄電池に好適である。   The present invention suppresses liquid reduction in a lead storage battery extremely remarkably, suppresses clogging of exhaust holes, does not cause an abnormal increase in internal pressure during charging, and does not cause battery case deformation. It is suitable for liquid lead acid batteries for various uses including lead acid batteries for starting.
