開口端を内方に折曲して封口していた。Square sealed batteries, especially small portable square sealed batteries, are manufactured by inserting an insulating gasket with a cover plate into the opening of a bottomed square metal case containing a conventional power generation element, and then inserting the metal case opening end inward. It was folded and sealed.
このような場合、開口部の横方向の封口力はガスケツ
トの反発弾性力のみであるため、高い密閉性が得られな
いという問題があつた。In such a case, since the lateral sealing force of the opening is only the repulsive elastic force of the gasket, there is a problem that a high sealing property cannot be obtained.

題があつた。According to this method, it is not necessary to consider the accuracy of the parts and the influence of heat of the synthetic resin parts, and there is an advantage that the productivity is extremely good. However, in order to improve the sealing property, the linear part of the opening of the metal case is required. In addition, since a method is used in which the corner portion is expanded outward in advance and then squeezed inward when caulking, there is a problem that distortion is likely to occur in the case corner portion.
本発明は上記欠点を除去し、角形電池の密閉性をよく
し、生産性を向上させることを目的とするものである。An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, improve the sealing performance of a prismatic battery, and improve productivity.

上する。As described above, according to the present invention, when caulking a square metal case opening that has been spread outward in advance, the corner radius of the inner surface of the metal case opening before caulking and the corner of the inner surface of the metal case opening after caulking.・ Equal to R,
In other words, by matching the crimp-type corner radius to the corner radius of the inner surface of the metal case opening, the case corner is not deformed, and the case straight portion is narrowed inward, so that the occurrence of distortion is distributed to the straight portion. Therefore, a uniform compressive force can be obtained over the entire circumference of the opening, and the sealing performance is improved.
さらに、かしめ方式にすることで生産性を向上させ、
製造コストを低減することができる。Furthermore, the productivity is improved by using the caulking method,

以下、図面に従い本発明の一実施例を説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

When the metal case 1 is closed by caulking, the opening is previously expanded outward in order to increase the caulking force and improve the sealing performance.

Insert the battery from below into a tapered crimp type that squeezes the metal case opening, push it up and bend the metal case opening end, and place the metal case opening in the body of the metal case part in which the power generation element is inserted. By taking the method of squeezing down to the dimensions and matching the crimp type corner radius to the corner radius of the inner surface of the metal case opening, the case corner is not deformed, and the straight part of the case is squeezed inward, so the occurrence of distortion is straight Since the metal case is dispersed, almost no distortion occurs in the caulked portion of the metal case, and a stable compressive force can be obtained.
