[Prior Art] Generally, small rechargeable electric devices such as waterproof electric shavers and electric tooth brushes have a storage battery made of a nickel-cadmium battery built into a sealed housing. By charging the battery, it can be used repeatedly without having to replace it. By the way, when this type of storage battery is reverse charged, overcharged during rapid charging, or charged at extremely low temperatures, a large amount of gas (O 2 gas and H 2 gas) is generated inside the storage battery due to charge/discharge reactions. occurs. This charging/discharging reaction is a so-called water electrolysis reaction, and H 2 gas and O 2 gas are generated at a ratio of 2:1.

The above gas generation reaction does not occur under normal charging conditions, but if a storage battery is charged using the incorrect charging method as described above, a large amount of gas will be generated due to the gas generation reaction, causing the internal gas pressure of the storage battery to rise abnormally. There is a risk that the battery will explode. Therefore, storage batteries are equipped with a safety valve that opens when the internal gas pressure reaches an abnormally high level, and releases a large amount of generated gas to the outside as appropriate to prevent the internal gas pressure from exceeding a certain level. ing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, a storage battery with a safety valve and electronic components such as a motor, a switch, and wiring are housed in a housing with a sealed structure to make it waterproof. When the safety valve of the storage battery is activated and the gas generated inside the storage battery is released from the gas vent hole, the housing is filled with explosive gas (the explosive concentration range of H2 gas is 4-75%).
There was a risk that sparks (arc) generated by the motor's commutator would ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Further, when the electrolyte (alkaline solution) of the storage battery leaks from the gas vent hole when gas is released, there is a problem in that electrical components within the housing are corroded, causing failure.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a working part at one end of a sealed housing, a socket part to which a charging adapter can be attached and detached at the other end, and a motor on the working part side in the housing. A power storage battery is placed on the socket side, a safety valve is provided on the cathode of the power storage battery, and the anode is placed on the socket side, and ventilation is provided to discharge the gas released from the gas vent hole of the safety valve to the outside of the housing. The vent means is provided with a gas vent hole formed in the vicinity of the anode and in a wall other than the recess forming the socket portion of the housing, such that the anode having the safety valve of the storage battery is on the socket side. Since the anode is located far away from the motor,
This has the effect of reducing the risk of explosion due to the arc generated by the motor even if gas leaks into the housing.In addition, the anode has a gas vent hole that exhausts the gas released from the safety valve to the outside of the housing. Since the anode is located near the anode, the gas generated at the anode is immediately discharged from the gas vent hole.

Furthermore, the gas venting hole of the ventilation means for discharging the gas released from the safety valve to the outside of the housing is formed in the wall other than the recess forming the socket part of the housing, so that sparks generated in the socket part can This has the effect of reducing the risk of ignition.
