Description of the Related Art As is well known, since a high pressure is applied in the deep sea, a battery provided with a so-called equalizing device is employed instead of relying on the pressure resistance of the battery case alone. Not used. The battery case containing the power generation element and the pressure equalizing device are air-tightly and liquid-tightly integrated, and the inside of both is filled with an electrolyte and communicates with each other. When the pressure of the environment in which the battery is installed increases, the volume of the pressure equalizing device shrinks, and the internal pressure becomes the same as the external pressure, thereby preventing the battery case and the pressure equalizing device from being damaged. A predetermined number of batteries having such a structure are connected in series or in parallel, and are used by being immersed in equalizing oil.

て周辺機器を損傷する危険があった。On the other hand, it is assumed that a battery or a charger for charging the battery breaks down. One of the symptoms is that the internal pressure rises due to overcharging or short-circuiting of the power generating element, and in the worst case, the battery or pressure equalizing device ruptures, spreading the damage to peripheral equipment. Therefore, a safety valve that opens at a predetermined pressure is provided in the battery or the pressure equalizing device to prevent the battery case and the pressure equalizing device from being ruptured. As a safety valve used for such a purpose, a backflow prevention type or a cut-out type has been proposed. However, when the safety valve operates, the highly conductive electrolyte contained in the battery gushes out, lowering the electrical insulation of the pressure equalizing oil around the battery, and causing leakage current from the majority of other normal batteries. There was a risk of flowing and damaging peripheral equipment, including batteries.

題を解決しょうとするものである。Therefore, a bellows type pressure equalizing device is attached to a battery case containing a power generating element, and a safety valve for releasing pressure to the outside when the battery internal pressure rises abnormally is a member for mounting the battery on the bellows end face. It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problem by providing a structure in which the protrusion is a hollow body and the other end is connected to a closed chamber in the battery device of the type in which cutting is performed by the protrusion.

油の電気絶縁性の低下が防止出来る。The function of the present invention is that when any abnormality occurs in the battery, the internal pressure rises above a predetermined value, and the bellows expandable portion reaches the maximum extension, the protrusion of the battery housing member causes one of the bellows expandable portion. The internal pressure is released by opening the part to prevent the battery and the pressure equalizing device from being ruptured. At this time, a part of the highly conductive electrolyte contained in the battery is simultaneously ejected. By making the projection for incision hollow and the other end of the projection connected to the closed chamber, the electrolyte ejected at the time of incision is introduced into the closed chamber through the hollow part of the projection, and the electrolyte immerses the battery This makes it difficult to contact with the equalizing oil, thereby preventing a decrease in the electrical insulation of the equalizing oil.

る。In actual use, a battery in a battery storage box configured as shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on a deep sea while being immersed in pressure equalizing oil, and connected to a load device (not shown). When it is located at normal pressure, that is, on the sea surface, it is not subjected to external pressure. The bellows of the pressure equalizer shrinks in proportion to the pressure rise, the pressure inside the battery rises, and the pressure inside and outside the battery becomes uniform, preventing the battery from being crushed.

くなる。If an abnormality occurs in the charger or the battery and the internal pressure of the battery rises abnormally, the bellows of the pressure equalizer expands, and the end face contacts the hollow projection 3b of the bottom plate of the battery storage box. This opens the thin film 2a to release the internal pressure of the battery, thereby preventing the battery from bursting. At this time, the ejected electrolytic solution is introduced into the closed small chamber through the hollow portion of the projection, so that the equilibrium oil, especially the equilibrium oil around the battery terminals, does not deteriorate the electrical insulation of the electrolyte. There is no leakage current due to the battery. Further, when the pressure in the small chamber becomes high, the pressure release valve 6 is opened, and the ejected electrolytic solution or pressure equalizing oil is discharged to the outside of the battery storage box, so that the small chamber can be prevented from being damaged. Further, when the check valve 5 is provided on each projection on the small chamber side, the electrolyte introduced into the small chamber does not flow backward and comes into contact with the equalizing oil again.
