2. Description of the Related Art ABS resin has been widely used as a battery case material for sealed batteries, especially for sealed lead-acid batteries. When ABS resin is used for a battery case or a lid, a sealed portion such as a fitting portion between the battery case and the lid or a terminal sealing portion is sealed with an epoxy resin-based adhesive to realize a sealed battery. The sealing of the ABS resin container with the epoxy adhesive was strong, and the sealing performance of the battery was highly reliable. However, ABS
Since the resin has a high moisture permeability, in a battery used for a long period of time, a decrease in the battery performance due to a decrease in the electrolyte due to the moisture permeation from the battery case has been a serious problem. Therefore, as a battery case material having low moisture permeability and excellent in chemical resistance and impact resistance, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.

However, the above-mentioned polyphenylene ether-based resin has excellent properties as a battery case material but has poor adhesiveness, so that a strong sealing portion cannot be obtained as in the case of using ABS resin. There was a problem.
If a strong sealing part is not obtained in the sealed part such as the fitting part of the battery case and the lid, the terminal sealing part, etc., the sealing part will naturally be formed when the internal pressure of the battery rises or the battery receives an impact. A gap is formed due to cracking and peeling. If such a gap occurs, the airtightness of the battery cannot be maintained, the electrolyte inside the battery leaks out of the battery, and not only the battery performance cannot be maintained but also the devices around the battery may be damaged by the electrolyte. There is. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sealed battery in which a strong sealed portion can be obtained even when a polyphenylene ether-based resin is used as a battery case material.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. As the battery case and lid for a sealed lead-acid battery, a molded product of a polymer alloy synthetic resin (UL flame-retardant V-0 grade based on polyphenylene ether resin and polystyrene resin and a flame retardant added) is prepared. .
Ultraviolet rays are applied to the fitting portion between the battery case and the lid and the terminal sealing portion. At this time, ultraviolet rays may be applied to the battery case and other parts of the lid. A low-pressure mercury lamp for UV irradiation of 110 W was used for UV irradiation. The irradiation intensity of the lamp is 10 mW / cm 2 , the distance between the lamp and the object to be irradiated (the fitting portion between the battery case and the lid, the terminal sealing portion) is 20 mm, and the irradiation time is 60 seconds. Using this battery case and lid, a sealed lead-acid battery of 12V-7Ah is produced. An epoxy adhesive is used as the adhesive. An epoxy-based adhesive is applied or filled into the fitting part between the battery case and the lid and the terminal sealing part, and the adhesive is cured.

[0007] The timing of irradiating the ultraviolet ray to the sealed portion can be set arbitrarily as long as the container and the lid are formed and before the adhesive is used. In addition, the UV irradiation conditions can be arbitrarily set, such as the output of the lamp and the distance between the lamp and the object to be irradiated. The present invention is also applicable to sealed batteries other than the sealed lead storage battery. However, in the case of a cathode gas absorption type secondary battery, the present invention is particularly effective because the internal pressure of the battery increases during overcharge and a large amount of stress is applied to the sealed portion.

(Experiment 1) In evaluating the adhesive strength of the polyphenylene ether-based resin, the relationship between the amount of ultraviolet radiation applied to a polymer alloy synthetic resin mainly composed of a polyphenylene ether resin and a polystyrene resin and the wettability of the surface were examined. For the measurement of the wettability, a method was used in which a wetting index standard solution (also referred to as a wetting indicator) according to JIS K6768 was used, which was dropped onto the surface of the battery case, and the state of repelling was observed. A low-pressure mercury lamp for UV irradiation of 110 W was used for UV irradiation. The lamp irradiation intensity was 10 mW / cm 2, and the distance between the lamp and the object to be irradiated was 20 mm. Irradiation time 0-9
The amount of ultraviolet irradiation was adjusted by changing the time to 0 second.
Table 1 shows the results. ○ in the table indicates that the polyphenylene ether-based resin does not repel each of the wetting index standard solutions, and X in the table indicates that the polyphenylene ether-based resin repels the respective wetting index standard solutions. No. in the table. It indicates that the wettability is good enough not to repel the standard solution having a large wettability index. The better the wettability, the higher the adhesive strength when the adhesive is used.

As is evident from Table 1, by irradiating the polyphenylene ether-based resin with ultraviolet rays, the wettability of the surface of the polyphenylene ether-based resin is improved, and the greater the amount of ultraviolet irradiation, the better the wettability. I understand.
The measurement result of the wettability in Table 1 and the result of measuring the adhesion strength by a tensile test after bonding the polyphenylene ether-based resin members with an epoxy-based adhesive were almost in a proportional relationship. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the adhesive strength was higher when ultraviolet light was applied than when no ultraviolet light was applied, and the adhesive strength was higher as the amount of ultraviolet light irradiation (ultraviolet irradiation time) was larger.
