条件を第２表にまとめて示す。
The present invention relates to an improvement in a sealed battery that employs a hermetic seal, and an object of the present invention is to prevent the occurrence of poor welding between the battery case and the sealing lid. For example, in batteries that require a high degree of sealing, such as lithium thionyl chloride batteries, hermetic seals are used as a sealing means. In the case of this hermetic seal, the battery case and the sealing lid are joined by welding, and the body of the sealing lid is attached to the battery case in consideration of weldability with the battery case and resistance to the strong corrosive action of thionyl chloride. Similarly, it is made of austenitic stainless steel such as SUS304 and SUS304L. However, in the case of the body part of the sealing lid, it is necessary to maintain the strength of the insulating part made of glass or ceramics, so a certain plate thickness is required, and the conventionally used SUS304, SUS304L, etc. As shown in the figure, the thickness of the body part 8 of the sealing lid 5 is thicker than the thickness of the battery case 4 (approximately twice as much), and therefore a high heat input is required during welding, causing heat to build up inside the battery case. active material filled,
There is a problem in that it tends to have an adverse effect on the contents of the separator and other insulating parts made of glass or ceramics, and that good strength cannot be obtained during welding itself due to uneven heating. The present invention was made in view of such circumstances, and the body part of the sealing lid is made of SUS329J1,
By using duplex stainless steel such as SUS329J2, the thickness of the body of the sealing lid can be reduced to approximately the same thickness as the battery case, thereby solving the aforementioned problems. In the present invention, the duplex stainless steels such as SUS329J1 and SUS329J2 used as the material for forming the body part have a tensile strength of 70 to 90 Kg/mm 2 in the annealed state, whereas the tensile strength of conventionally used SUS304 is 45 to 55 Kg/mm 2 in the annealed state.
Since it has a high tensile strength of mm 2 , it can sufficiently hold an insulating part made of glass or ceramics even if the thickness is reduced. Although the thickness of the body part varies somewhat depending on the material and size of the insulating part, it is possible to make the body part thinner by about 1:0.9 to 1.8 with respect to the thickness of the battery case. And 2 such as SUS329J1 and SUS329J2 mentioned above.
Compatible stainless steel has good weldability with SUS304 and SUS304L, which are commonly used for battery cases, and also has excellent corrosion resistance. Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a half-cut sectional view showing an embodiment of the sealed battery of the present invention. In the drawing, 1 is a negative electrode made of lithium, 2 is a separator made of a woven fabric with glass fibers, and 3 is a carbon porous The positive electrode is made of a quality molded body. Reference numeral 4 denotes a battery case made of stainless steel, and the lithium negative electrode 1 is crimped onto the inner peripheral surface of the battery case 4, which also serves as a negative electrode terminal. Reference numeral 5 denotes a sealing lid, and this sealing lid 5 has a positive electrode side terminal portion 6 in the center, and an insulating portion 7 made of glass or ceramic located on the outer peripheral side of the terminal portion 6.
and an annular body part 8 made of duplex stainless steel located on the outer peripheral side of the insulating part 7, and in this embodiment, the body part 8 has both the outer peripheral part and the inner peripheral part raised upward. It has a shape. The outer circumferential portion of the body portion 8 is welded to the open end of the battery case 4, and the insulating portion 7 is welded to the inner circumferential portion. The terminal part 6 is formed of a metal pipe 9 and a thin metal rod 10, and the lower part of the thin metal rod 10 is connected to the positive electrode 3.
It reaches inside and serves as a positive electrode current collector, and its upper part is welded to the upper end of the pipe 9 to form a positive electrode terminal 11. In this embodiment, the pipe 9 is made of heat-resistant stainless steel, and the thin metal rod 10 is made of stainless steel. Note that in forming the terminal portion 6, the pipe 9 as a component of the terminal portion is preliminarily connected to the insulating portion 7.
After welding the sealing lid 6 to the battery case 4 and injecting the electrolyte through the pipe 9, insert the thin metal rod 10 into the pipe 9, and
This is done by welding the thin metal rod 10 to the metal rod 10. 12 and 13 are upper and lower lids made of the same material as separator 2, and the electrolyte used is lithium aluminum tetrachloride dissolved in thionyl chloride, and the thionyl chloride is also used as a positive electrode active material. It is something that works. In such a battery of the present invention, the duplex stainless steel that constitutes the body portion 8 has high strength, and even if the body portion 8 is made thinner, the insulating portion 7
For example, as shown in detail in FIG. 2, the thickness of the body portion 8 can be made approximately the same as the thickness of the battery case 4. Therefore, when welding the sealing lid 5 and the battery case 4, there is no need for high heat input as in the conventional case, and as a result, damage to the insulation part and occurrence of welding defects, which are seen in conventional batteries, are prevented. can do. In addition, the second
The figure shows the state before the start of welding between the sealing lid 5 and the battery case 4, and the rear outline is omitted in FIGS. 2 and 3 to avoid complication. Table 1 below shows the results of an investigation into the occurrence of defects during welding between the outer periphery of the sealing lid body and the open end of the battery case in Batteries A and B of the present invention and conventional batteries C and D. be. Defective welding includes both incomplete welding and successful welding, but with damage to the insulation. battery diameter
This is a 14.5 mm lithium thionyl chloride battery, and the insulating part is made of glass. Welding is performed by plasma arc, and optimal welding conditions are selected for batteries A and B of the present invention and conventional battery C. In the case of conventional battery D, the same conditions as those for the battery of the present invention were selected. The battery cases of the batteries A to D above are all made of SUS304 and have a thickness of 0.3 mm, and the body part of the sealing lid is SUS329J1 in the case of battery A of the present invention.
In the case of battery B of the present invention, the thickness is 0.3 mm.
