の信頼性向上に関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply, and more specifically, to improving the reliability of an uninterruptible power supply used as a backup power source for computers, communication equipment, and the like.

Description of the Related Art As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, an uninterruptible power supply device normally supplies AC power from a commercial power supply 1 to computers, communication equipment, etc., either directly or via a rectifier and an inverter. In the event of a power outage, the DC power from the storage battery 6' is converted into AC power by the inverter 3 and supplied to the load 4, thereby preventing troubles in the load 4 due to a power outage.

流した直流電力によって浮動充電されて満充電状態が維
持されるように構成され、不意の停電時のバックアップ
が確実に行われるようにしている。[0003] The storage battery 6' in such an uninterruptible power supply is configured so that it is always kept in a fully charged state by floating charging with DC power obtained by rectifying AC power from a commercial power source 1 with a rectifier 2. backup is ensured in the event of a power outage.
【0004】一方、近年は、このような無停電電源装置
に対してメンテナンスフリーの要求や小型化、低価格化
の要求が高まり、蓄電池6’の密閉化、装置の高実装密
度化が急速に進行してきている。[0004] On the other hand, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for such uninterruptible power supplies to be maintenance-free, smaller, and lower in price, and storage batteries 6' are becoming more hermetically sealed and devices are becoming more densely packed. It's progressing.
【0005】すなわち、蓄電池6’として密閉形鉛蓄電
池6が使用され、この密閉形鉛蓄電池6を含めた部品が
筺体内に高密度に実装されるようになってきている。That is, a sealed lead-acid battery 6 is used as the storage battery 6', and components including the sealed lead-acid battery 6 are being mounted in a housing at a high density.
【0006】ところで、密閉形鉛蓄電池6に使用される
正極板は、鉛合金からなる格子体に活物質としての二酸
化鉛が充填されたものであり、充電によって格子体の表
面は酸化腐食されて体積が膨張し、内部応力の発生をも
たらしたり、格子体の強度を低下させる。By the way, the positive electrode plate used in the sealed lead-acid battery 6 is a grid made of a lead alloy filled with lead dioxide as an active material, and the surface of the grid is oxidized and corroded by charging. The volume expands, causing internal stress and reducing the strength of the lattice.

鉛蓄電池を浮動充電状態のもとで使用すると、充電の継
続によって格子体はグロースして負極ストラップとのシ
ョート、電槽の破裂、漏液が発生しやすくなる。Therefore, when a sealed lead-acid battery is used under a floating state of charge, as in an uninterruptible power supply, the lattice will grow as charging continues, resulting in a short circuit with the negative strap, rupture of the battery case, and leakage. Liquid is more likely to be generated.
【0008】そして、グロースは充電電気量が多いほど

が高いほど大きくなることが知られ、このような高密度
に実装された中での密閉形鉛蓄電池6は、電池温度が高
くなるため、充電電気量が多くなってさらに電池温度を
上昇させるという現象が生じる。It is known that the growth increases as the amount of electricity charged increases, and that the amount of electricity charged in a floating charging state increases as the battery temperature increases. In the sealed lead-acid battery 6, since the battery temperature becomes high, the amount of charged electricity increases, which further increases the battery temperature.

What is actually done for this purpose is to replace the sealed lead-acid battery 6 every two to three years, which has the problem of not being able to meet the requirement for maintenance-free operation.
