As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional sealed battery generally has a power generation element formed by spirally wound anode plate 1 and cathode plate 2 with a separator 3 interposed between them, and inserted into a cylindrical metal exterior case 4. After injecting the electrolyte, etc., the opening of the outer case 4 is seamed and this opening is caulked, thereby creating a resin insulating packing between the electrode terminal section 6 with safety valve and the outer case 4. It is sealed through 5. Such a sealing method is usually called a mechanical resin seal, and has the effect of electrically insulating and sealing the outer case and the electrode terminals, and this method is used for most cylindrical batteries.

However, the sealed battery shown in Figure 1 is sealed by fixing the electrode terminal part between the seam part of the outer case and the opening edge of the outer case through packing, so the lower surface of the electrode terminal and the packing The adhesion between the seam part of the outer case and the packing is poor, and the leakage resistance of the electrolyte cannot be said to be good.Also, the power generating element is located below the seam part of the outer case. Therefore, there is a large surplus space inside the battery, making it impossible to obtain a high-capacity battery. Furthermore, this sealing method cannot be used to seal batteries with a non-true cylindrical shape, such as batteries with shapes such as long cylinders, elliptical cylinders, or square cylinders, because seaming of the outer case is plastically difficult.

Comparing the battery of the present invention produced in this way with the conventional battery shown in Fig. 1, it is found that the battery of the present invention does not have to be crimped by pressing because the electrode single part is attached to the sealing plate before welding the sealing plate and the outer case. It can apply sufficient pressure, and compared to conventional batteries where the packing is placed on the seam of the outer case and caulked, the packing and sealing plate that come into contact with the bottom surface of the electrode terminal are relatively small. Since the sealing plate can be attached to the electrode terminal part securely and has a high sealing effect, the sealing plate 7' and the outer case 4'' are connected by edge welding, so that the sealing plate can be easily attached to the electrode terminal part. There is no electrolyte leakage.Furthermore, unlike conventional batteries, there is no need for seam processing, so even batteries with a non-perfect cylindrical shape can be easily sealed.

Next, when comparing the battery of the present invention and the battery shown in Figure 2, it is found that in the battery shown in Figure 2, the lower part of the electrode terminal is directly caulked and attached to the sealing plate, so it is difficult to add a safety valve function to the electrode terminal part. In contrast, the battery of the present invention is safe because a safety valve function can be easily added to the electrode terminal portion.
