樹脂封口体を破断させるもの。Previously, various mechanisms have been proposed to relieve the abnormal rise in internal gas pressure caused by gas generated from inside sealed batteries.
For example, the resin sealing body of a battery is broken using a sharp gold blade.

There are some that use rupture, some that use a rubber stopper with an exhaust valve structure, and some that use a gas permeable membrane.

酸化炭素。However, these mechanisms are difficult to adopt as a gas discharge mechanism for lithium batteries. In other words, lithium batteries usually use water-prohibitive lithium synthetics, lithium alloys, etc. as the negative electrode, and combustible and flammable non-aqueous solvents are used as the electrolyte, so the battery container is free from oxygen, nitrogen, moisture, etc. It has a sealed structure that prevents impurities from entering inside, and therefore requires a V& structure to reliably exhaust the internal gas to the outside when the battery gas pressure rises abnormally. If a rubber stopper with an exhaust valve structure is used in a lithium battery, the rubber stopper may react with a non-aqueous solvent and swell, impairing the function of the rubber stopper itself.Furthermore, the poor sealing performance may cause impurities to form inside the battery. They are easy to penetrate, which may reduce battery performance. In addition, when considering the use of gas permeable membranes, the gas component generated within lithium batteries is carbon dioxide.

化して脆弱化するために使用出来ないものである。Because it contains low-boiling point organic compounds such as acetylene, ethane, and propylene, it is possible to discharge these gases to the outside through the pores of the permeable membrane. Moisture can enter the battery through the holes, degrading battery characteristics. Also,
In the method of providing a fracture structure using thin grooves, the fracture location is large, the electrode is easily exposed, and there is a risk of ignition and combustion due to contact between the electrode and external air. In addition, donations of aluminum etc.
The method using a thin film cannot be used because these soft metals alloy with lithium and become brittle.

すに至ったものである。In order to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies and found that by forming a thin walled part with a surface area of 20 mm2 or less on a part of the battery container, the airtightness is maintained during normal operation. However, when the internal pressure of the battery rises and reaches a predetermined internal pressure, the thin wall portion is crushed and an exhaust hole is formed that communicates the inside and outside of the battery, and gas is discharged from the exhaust hole to the outside of the battery to reduce the internal pressure of the battery. Moreover, according to this method, the exhaust hole formed by the crushing can be made extremely small, so that the electrode will not be unnecessarily exposed to the outside after the thin wall part is crushed. This discovery led to the present invention.
