Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve leaktightness by use of nylon 66 whose crystallinity is specifically controlled for an insulating gasket tightening a sealing plate at the marginal portion of a positive electrode case through the insulating gasket. CONSTITUTION:An alkaline battery is made up by tightening a sealing plate 8 at the marginal portion of a positive electrode case 1 through an insulating gasket 6. Nylon 66 whose crystallinity is controlled at 27-37% is used for an insulating gasket 6. Thus, an optimum range of crystallinity is provided so that it is possible to improve leaktightness.

Conventional technology In general, in order to improve leakage resistance in alkaline batteries, an insulating gasket made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon synthetic resin is interposed between the date-sealing positive electrode case and the sealing plate, and the periphery of the positive electrode case is tightened. This increases the tension between the sealing plate, insulating gasket, and positive electrode case to prevent electrolyte from flowing out from the interface.

However, in batteries that use an alkaline electrolyte such as potassium hydroxide, leakage is likely to occur due to the creep phenomenon in which the electrolyte creeps up the surface of the negative electrode current collector. Therefore,
With conventional insulating gaskets, the compressive stress is not sufficient to prevent the creep phenomenon, and the compressive stress decreases due to water absorption, so leakage resistance is not sufficient. Therefore, methods have been taken to examine the fit between the sealing plate, gasket, and positive electrode case, and to interpose a liquid sealant between the gasket and the sealing plate, and between the gasket and the positive electrode case, but these methods have not always achieved sufficient effects.

However, since the gasket is heated at high temperatures to increase its crystallinity, it deteriorates, the gasket becomes too hard, and cracks occur when the sealing gasket is tightened, causing short circuits due to contact between the sealing plate and the positive electrode case, and cracks. There is a problem with the generation of liquid.
