Liquid-tightly fitted and mounted through a gasket 5 into a hole 4a formed in the center of the lid plate 4, and the lower end is attached to the lid plate 4 together with one end of a lead plate 7 to which the anode current collector of the power generating element 2 is connected. It is fixed by caulking, its upper surface is substantially flush with the upper surface of the lid plate 4, and is exposed barely.

傷させる虞れがある。However, when the lid plate 4 of the sealing body 3 is welded to the opening end 1c of the outer can 1, the welded portion of the lid plate 4 on the long side surface 1a side of the outer can 1 has the anode cap 8 attached thereto. Since it is closer to the notch 8c of the anode cap 8, for example, the influence of heat due to welding, such as radiant heat in laser welding, reflected heat, melting heat of combustible material such as the gasket 5 near the welded portion, etc. Enter the cap 8,
Part of the safety valve 9 formed of a rubber member will be melted. As a result, the effective sectional area of the safety valve 9 is reduced, the pressure (valve opening pressure) to be operated cannot be guaranteed, and there is a possibility that the safety valve 9 may be operated at a pressure lower than a predetermined pressure. For this reason,
During normal use, especially during normal charging, the safety valve 9 may open and the electrolyte solution may leak out, damaging the device incorporating the battery.

The soot-containing gas blocks all or part of the laser light L particularly during laser welding, so that the light cannot be collected uniformly. As a result, the outer can 1
The welding bead on the side of the long side surface 1a varies, and in some cases the bead is not formed, resulting in poor welding, and a gap is generated in the fitting portion between the outer can 1 and the sealing body 3, which may cause leakage of the electrolytic solution inside. There is a problem such as becoming.

内蔵されている前記安全弁が保護される。The operation will be described below. When the sealing body 3 is fitted and attached to the opening end 1c of the outer can 1, and laser welding is performed, since the side faces 10d and 10d of the anode cap 10 facing the long side faces 1a and 1a of the outer can 1 are closed, the lid is closed. The safety valve that can be installed even near the welded portion of the plate 4 is not affected by the heat of welding. On the other hand, the hole 10c of the anode cap 10,
10 c is opened to face the short side faces 1 b, 1 b of the outer can 1. However, the distance from the opening end on the side of the short side surface 1b to the hole 10c of the cap 10 is long, and therefore, when the opening end and the cover plate 4 are laser-welded, radiant heat, reflected heat, gasket 5 in the vicinity of the welded portion, etc. The heat of fusion of combustible material does not enter the anode cap 10 through the hole 10c. This protects the safety valve built in the anode cap 10 when the sealing body 3 is welded.

As a result, the sealing body 3 is well welded to the outer can 1 over the entire circumference thereof, and the electrolytic solution does not leak from the welded portion. Then, the safety valve has stable and reliable working pressure.

The passages 10e, 10e, which are open at the lower end of the anode 0b so as to face the inside of the anode cap 10 and whose other ends are respectively opened at the tips of the respective flanges 10a, are integrally formed so that the inside and the outside of the anode cap 10 communicate with each other. It is a way out of. Since the passages 10e and 10e are long and open so as to face the short side surface side of the outer can 1, the safety valve in the anode cap 10 can be protected when the sealing body 3 is welded.
