However, in cases involving relatively deep charging and discharging, the active material cannot be sufficiently pressed down, causing the active material to fall off and end its life. Still, the curvature of the IE electrode plate,
Due to deformation, the separator could be punctured and short-circuited. For this reason, it became necessary to use a separator mainly made of glass fiber to hold down the active material on the electrode plate side in combination with a bag-like net separator. It was necessary to weld the cloak-like porous layers, which are the main components, facing each other, but there were problems in terms of productivity and cost. The challenge was to make it possible to industrially perform bag-forming welding and partial welding that maintains shape even when placed on the electrode plate side, and as a result, to realize a configuration with excellent longevity. Conventionally, the only way to join a separator mainly composed of glass fiber as a non-weldable porous body and a separator mainly composed of polyethylene as a thermoplastic resin porous body was to use an adhesive. The reason is that the materials suitable for these cloak bodies are generally non-weldable porous materials, and the common methods for welding thermoplastic resin separators are thermal welding, simple pressure, ultrasonic welding, and high frequency welding. It has been thought that methods such as welding thermoplastic resin separators would be impossible. The present invention solves these problems, and aims to provide a separator for lead-acid batteries that extends the life of lead-acid batteries, and a method for manufacturing the separator. ) Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the separator for lead-acid batteries and the manufacturing method thereof of the present invention provide a pair of thermoplastic resin porous materials with a pair of non-weldable porous material layers sandwiched therebetween. By arranging and overlapping the layers and forming wavy continuous pressure parts on both sides, at least a part of the non-weldable porous material layer is sandwiched and the thermoplastic resin porous material layers are bonded together. This is a separator for a pond. A pair of thermoplastic and one resin porous material layers are arranged so as to sandwich a pair of non-weldable porous material layers inside, and this is inserted between a pair of gears that mesh with each other and rotate. , 1) II corresponding to the pitch of the gear
The tip pressure of both gear teeth applies pressure so that the pressurized portion draws a continuous wavy locus, and the thermoplastic resin porous material is formed in the non-welded porous material layer together with the NiI thermoplastic resin porous material. A method for producing a separator for lead Sakaideni (1), in which the non-weldable porous layer and the thermoplastic resin porous layer are joined by passing heat through the body layer through plastic carbonaceous resin, Effect With this configuration, the lead-acid battery separator of the present invention and its manufacturing method can bond the thermoplastic resin porous layers to each other while sandwiching at least a portion of the non-weldable porous layer between the wavy continuous pressure parts. becomes.

FIG. 1 shows the separator structure of this embodiment, in which a pair of polyethylene as the main component is sandwiched between a non-weldable porous layer 1 consisting of a mantle-like separator with a pair of glass fibers as the main component. A porous thermoplastic resin layer 2 consisting of a sheet-like separator is arranged and stacked, and this is inserted between a pair of gears that rotate while meshing with each other, and the tip pressure of the teeth of the gear corresponding to the pitch of the gear is applied. By applying pressure so that the pressurizing portion 3 draws a continuous wavy locus, the thermoplastic resin porous layers 2 are joined together, and the thermoplastic resin porous layer 2 is bonded to the non-weldable porous body F1+1. The non-weldable porous layer 1 and the thermoplastic resin porous layer 2 are bonded by allowing the thermoplastic resin to pass through. Using this separator as a person, a positive electrode was placed on the separator and combined with a negative electrode to create a battery equivalent to 48Ah. This battery is designated as A'. -7 For comparison, a plate-shaped separator made by bonding a separator mainly composed of glass fiber and a separator mainly composed of pulp with an adhesive was used.
A battery equivalent to 48 Ah was prepared by combining the F electrode and the negative electrode. This battery is designated as B'. Figure 2 is based on a test method called the JIS life test, which is a deep charge/discharge pattern.Charging at 60℃ for 5 hours with 6 people, discharging for 1 hour at 2OA, repeated 25 cycles, and 20 people every 25 cycles. Continuous discharge is performed with a terminal voltage of 10.2y1, and the discharge capacity is 24
These are the results of evaluating batteries A/ and B/, respectively, using a test method that determines the lifespan when the battery life is 1 hour or less. The horizontal axis shows the life index when the number of lifetimes of battery B' is set to 100, and the vertical axis shows the capacity at 20 A discharge. A' had a lifespan approximately 50% longer than B'. Dimension A'111: In the test, the separator welded part (Iz(ri) was not observed until the life of the separator. However, even if the locus of the wavy continuous pressurized part is irregular, the same effect can be obtained. In the configuration of this embodiment, under special pressure conditions, the thermoplastic resin permeates through the non-weldable porous layer and welds to each other at the portions where the non-weldable porous bodies face each other, thereby helping to strengthen the bonding force. .

In addition, this structure can be easily achieved without any adhesive, and it is possible to weld a non-weldable porous layer such as a mat made of 100-coated glass fiber material, which is necessary for longevity, or a mat made of a mixture of polyethylene and glass fiber. It is suitable for installation in conjunction with other facilities, and is highly effective in improving lifespan.
