Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent exudation of electrolyte at the generation of gas and also restrain diffusion of oil into battery so as to offer a sealed secondary battery whose performance will not deteriorate by forming a safety valve portion as a small-diameter tube or a tube-shaped protrusion. CONSTITUTION:A tube 7 made of fluoro-resin and having a sealed portion 10 at one end thereof and an opening 1 at the other end is filled with a fixed amount of oil 8 at near the sealed portion 10 by a microshringe and then a notch 9 is provided in the oil-filled portion by a microtome to fabricate a safety valve. The outside of the tube 7 near the opening 11 is subjected to surface treatment using fluororesin in order for the tube 7 to readily adhere to a battery jar material, and then the tube 7 is disposed between the sheets of a safety valve portion 5 and is thermally deposited to the sheets by a heat sealer. By this structure gas is readily exhausted from the notch 9 when inner pressure is raised, and also fresh air is completely shut out when external pressure is exerted on the structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, this battery has a positive electrode plate 1 and a negative electrode plate 2 on the same plane of a plastic film substrate which also serves as a battery case 6.
are arranged in parallel, and the space between each end face of the positive electrode plate 1 and the negative electrode plate 2 is filled with an electrolyte 3 containing sulfuric acid. By adopting this structure, the field of battery reaction that occurs during charging and discharging develops not between the electrode surfaces, but between the end surfaces of the electrodes that are parallel to the electrode surfaces. This protects the current collector located at the center of the electrode surface from deteriorating, making it possible to make the battery thinner without reducing battery life even if the electrode becomes thinner.

Such a sealed secondary battery is hermetically sealed by heat-sealing it with a battery case 6 made of film or sheet synthetic resin, and oxygen gas generated at the positive electrode plate 1 during charging is passed through a glass fiber separator 3. The structure is such that the negative electrode plate 2 absorbs it. Therefore, normally gas does not dissipate to the outside of the battery, but when charging with a large current, the amount of gas generated in the positive electrode plate 1 is greater than the oxygen gas absorption capacity of the negative electrode plate 2, and Hydrogen gas is also generated from the negative electrode plate 2, so if the battery is completely sealed, the internal pressure of the battery will increase.
The battery case may explode. Therefore, a safety valve 5 is provided which releases the gas when the internal pressure of the battery increases. - For boat fishing, the battery case 6 of this type of battery should be 0.1 m thick.
The safety valve part 5 is made of a synthetic resin film having a thickness of approximately 1.5 m, and is thermally welded around the electrode plate group leaving an unwelded part at one place, and the unwelded interior is filled with oil to form the safety valve part 5. This safety valve section 5 is required to function as a check valve because, in addition to releasing gas when the valve is opened, when oxygen gas from the atmosphere enters the battery, it oxidizes the negative electrode plate 2 and shortens its life. Ta.

By making the safety valve part a small-diameter tube or tubular projection in this way, the electrolyte released from the glass fiber separator is difficult to enter the inside of the tube or tubular projection. The gas will not bleed and corrode the electrical equipment in use, and by making a notch in the small diameter tube or tubular protrusion, the tube or tubular protrusion will bend at the notch as the internal pressure increases, opening the notch and allowing gas to escape. becomes possible. It is possible to easily adjust the valve opening pressure by changing the depth of this cut and the wall thickness of the side surface. Furthermore, the cut end remains closed during steady state and depressurization, so oxygen gas from the atmosphere does not enter the battery, and oil does not enter the battery. The function of a safety valve cannot be achieved by simply filling a tube with oil without a seal or cut.
