Abstract

PURPOSE:To precisely find insufficient airtightness at the time of pressure reduction by replacing existing air in a battery jar with inspection gas as much as possible through pressure reduction, besides pressure-filling the inspection gas into the battery jar, and whereby facilitating inspection through a gas sensor. CONSTITUTION:A nitrogen gas including 3% of hydrogen gas is pressure-filled from an exhausting hole into a battery jar, as an inspection gas, while the pressure is set to an atomospheric pressure plus 0.4kg/cm<2>. The air as well as the inspection gas in the battery jar are sucked by a suction pump, so as to reduce the pressure to an asmorpheric pressure minus 0.4kg/cm<2>. The inspection gas is further pressure-filled. Since the pressures are added to the inside of the battery jar in both of the pressure increasing and reducing processes, when deformation of the battery jar and the like is generated, or when there is a leakage hole, the pressure-filled inspection gas is leaked out of the battery jar through which the gas passed. By repeating the pressure increase and reduction processes, the concentration of the hydrogen gas in the battery jar is increased close to 3%. Since the leaked part is detected by a hot wire semiconductor gas sensor in this condition, the detection sensitivity is improved.

2. Description of the Related Art In a negative electrode absorption type sealed lead-acid battery, it is important for the storage characteristics of the battery to keep the battery airtight. That is, if airtightness is not maintained in the storage battery battery case, especially at the junction between the battery container and the lid and the part where the electrode terminal is inserted, oxygen in the atmosphere will enter the storage battery and cause sponge, which is the negative electrode active material of the lead storage battery. Reacts with lead oxide to form lead oxide. Of course, when the negative electrode active material is oxidized, the discharge capacity of the storage battery decreases, so it is necessary to perform a rigorous airtight inspection on normal negative electrode absorption type sealed lead-acid batteries to prevent defective products from becoming finished products. .

In FIG. 3, the battery case 1 constitutes a large number of unit cells 1-a which are partitioned by a partition wall and filled with an electrode plate, a separator, an electrolytic solution and the like, and a lid 2 as a whole. Is airtightly covered by. Reference numeral 3 denotes an exhaust hole provided in a portion of the lid 2 corresponding to the upper portion of each unit cell 1-a. The exhaust hole 3 is an exhaust hole with a check valve, and when the airtightness inspection is completed and the battery is stored as a battery,
After exhausting the battery case 1, it serves to keep the battery container 1 at a reduced pressure so that the atmosphere does not enter by the check valve. Four
Is a gas introducing pipe for injecting a test gas into the battery case 1 through the exhaust hole 3 through the valve 5. The inspection gas may be hydrogen gas, but most of the inspection gas is a mixed gas of hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas. Reference numeral 6 denotes a side wall gas collecting plate which is closely attached along the joint portion 7 between the battery case 1 and the lid 2. The joint portion 7 is hermetically bonded with an adhesive, but is press-fitted into the battery case 1. It collects the leaked inspection gas from the joint portion 7 to the outside of the battery. Reference numeral 8 is a terminal portion gas collection box for collecting the inspection gas leaked to the outside of the battery from the portion where the electrode terminal 9 is inserted in the upper portion of the lid 2.
The side wall gas collection plate 6 and the terminal gas collection box 8 communicate with the gas sensor 10. The gas sensor 10 serves to detect the airtightness of the storage battery by changing its electric resistance due to hydrogen gas in the test gas and outputting it as a voltage output to an electric circuit connected to the gas sensor 10. As the gas sensor 10, a hot wire type semiconductor gas sensor is generally used.

When the inspection gas is press-fitted through the exhaust hole 3 using the above-mentioned device and there is a portion where airtightness is poor, the inspection gas leaks from that portion and acts on the gas sensor 10 to change the electric resistance of the gas sensor 10. Since the voltage is changed, the conventional inspection method is to inspect the storage battery for the presence or absence of airtightness by checking the voltage.

However, it is difficult to obtain the result of sufficiently detecting the airtightness of the storage battery by the above-mentioned conventional airtightness inspection method and its apparatus. The first reason is that the detection sensitivity of the gas sensor 10 is not sufficient because the amount of hydrogen gas in the test gas cannot be increased.

That is, it is difficult to pressurize a large amount of the test gas into the battery case 1 constituting each unit cell 1-a because of the problem of the strength of the storage battery, and it is usually about 0.4 kg / cm 2 . It was only press-fitting.

Further, the concentration of hydrogen gas in the test gas to be injected cannot be made much higher than the danger of explosion, and the battery case 1
Inside, the hydrogen concentration had to be suppressed to about 3% while the inspection gas was being injected. Therefore, due to the above reason, the amount of hydrogen gas injected into the storage battery is not large and is diluted by the air existing in the battery case 1, so that the hydrogen gas is extra thin and the gas for detecting this hydrogen gas is used. Sensor 1
The detection capability of 0 was low, and as can be seen in FIG. 4, the sensor output peaked at slightly less than 40 millivolts.

Still another reason is that since the inspection gas is simply injected into the battery case 1, it cannot be inspected that the airtightness failure occurs when the pressure in the battery case 1 is reduced. Is. In particular, since the joint portion 7 between the battery case 1 and the lid 2 is closed by the adhesive, it is considered that there are many airtight defects when the pressure is reduced. Since the negative electrode absorption type sealed lead-acid battery normally absorbs oxygen in the air inside the battery case, the pressure inside the battery case is reduced during storage. Conventionally, the pressure inspection only once is not a sufficient airtightness inspection method.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the inspection gas, which is a problem of the above-mentioned conventional technique, is injected into the battery case constituting the storage battery and is diluted by the existing air in the battery case. This is to solve all of the problems that the airtightness cannot be found when the pressure is reduced.

FIG. 1 shows the result of inspecting a lead-acid battery having a poor airtightness by using a hot wire type semiconductor gas sensor and by the airtightness inspection method of the present invention. First 3%
Nitrogen gas containing hydrogen gas as the inspection gas is injected into the battery case through the exhaust hole as in the conventional example shown in FIG. The pressure in the battery case due to this press-fitting is atmospheric pressure + 0.4 kg / cm 2 . This is the pressurizing primary process, and then the suction pump sucks the air and test gas in the battery case to lower the atmospheric pressure in the battery case by -0.4.
Reduce the pressure to kg / cm 2 . This is the depressurization primary step. After that, the inspection gas is further injected to shift to the pressurization secondary process.
If pressure in both the pressurizing process and the depressurizing process is applied inside the battery case and the battery container is distorted and there is a leak hole, the inspection gas press-fitted into the battery container passes and leaks to the outside of the battery container. . By repeating the steps of pressurization and depressurization, the hydrogen gas concentration in the battery case becomes high, and as shown in FIG. 1, the hydrogen gas concentration becomes close to the test gas hydrogen concentration of 3%. When the hydrogen concentration in this battery case is high, the sensor detection sensitivity is improved. This pressurization 1
By repeating the next step, the first depressurization step, the second pressurization step, and the pressurization and depressurization, the airtightness of the joint portion between the lid and the battery case can be inspected. In the pressurizing secondary process, the inspection gas is injected into the battery case to finish the inspection, and like the device shown in FIG.
When the gas introduction pipe is separated from the exhaust hole, the inspection gas in the battery case
It diffuses into the atmosphere around the battery case through the check valve. However, the check valve does not allow the atmosphere to enter the battery case. Therefore, if the inside of the battery case is depressurized in the depressurization secondary step, the inspection gas does not leak into the atmosphere from the battery case, and the storage characteristics are good in the negative electrode absorption type sealed lead acid battery.

In FIG. 1, the output of the electric circuit to which the gas sensor is connected shows a low voltage value of 20 millivolts in the primary pressure step, but after the primary pressure step and the secondary pressure step, When the air in the battery case is replaced with the inspection gas and the hydrogen gas concentration becomes high, it shows 80 millivolts, indicating that the sensor sensitivity is high. It can be seen that when the inside of the battery case is evacuated through the depressurization secondary process, the voltage value drops sharply. However, by looking at the curve showing the output of this gas sensor, it can be clearly understood that the lead storage battery subjected to the inspection is a product with poor airtightness.
