For this reason, in the above-described battery, when the internal pressure of the battery rises abnormally, the internal current circuit is interrupted to stop the flow of current, and the pressure at which the internal pressure does not further increase is reduced. An interruption sensor is incorporated. This pressure cut-off sensor includes a cover member having a cut-off member having a conductive path and a diaphragm below the cut-off member, the member being displaceable when the pressure inside the battery becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value. Was attached by crimping or welding. When an abnormality occurs in the battery using such a conventional pressure cut-off sensor and the pressure in the battery rises, the diaphragm is pushed up to the upper blocking member side to be inverted, and the center of the diaphragm is turned upside down. Press near the center of the blocking member. Then, the pressing load is concentrated on the vicinity of the central portion of the blocking member, and the blocking member is broken from the vicinity of the central portion to cut off the conductive path. When the conductive path is cut off, the flow of current inside the battery is cut off, so that the pressure inside the battery does not increase any more.

However, the above-described conventional pressure cut-off sensor is manufactured by joining a member having a diaphragm part, which is a separate member from the lid, to the lid by caulking or welding. It was complicated and costly. Further, in order to make the diaphragm portion easily displaced by a rise in pressure inside the battery, the thickness of the displaced portion is formed to be uniform and thin as a whole. For this reason, the diaphragm portion is easily displaced, but because the entire body is uniform and thin, the pressure rise inside the battery pushes up the diaphragm portion to the blocking member side, and even if the central portion contacts the blocking member, the central portion is crushed. In such a case, the load for breaking the blocking member is dispersed, and the blocking member may not be broken.
In addition, when the diaphragm is crushed, the height of the diaphragm is not stabilized, and the breaking member can be broken even if the internal pressure of the battery rises above a specified value. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-described problems and to surely break a blocking member at low cost.
