Abstract

PURPOSE:To enlarge the inner volume of a sealing plate for increasing a filling up quantity of a negative electrode active material while checking generation of a local cell at the end of a sealing plate caused by alkaline electrolyte by coating an opening cutting part of the sealing plate with a metal easy to be amalgamated. CONSTITUTION:Centering around an opening cutting part 10 of a sealing plate 1 and excepting the inner part making contact with the negative electrode active material and the outer part making contact with the terminal of any appliance using a battery, a part of the surface is provided with a coating layer of a metal 11 easy to be amalgamated similar to the inside of the sealing plate. The coating metal 11 thereby is either one of gold, silver, copper, tin and zinc which are possible to be easily electrically or nonelectrolytically plated, whereby a highly reliable plated layer can be obtained by making said plating to be thick not less than 10mum. Except the plating method, it is also applicable to dip the cutting part 10 of the sealing plate into a metal bath with the conparatively low melting point.

The negative electrode sealing plate 1 fitted with the insulating sealing ring 3 is filled with amalgamated zinc powder, which is the negative electrode active material 2, and an alkaline electrolyte to form a battery. The alkaline electrolyte then enters the interface between the sealing plate 1 and the sealing ring 3, and finally reaches the opening cut l[slo] of the sealing plate 1. Three metals, copper 7, stainless steel 8, and nickel 9, constituting the sealing plate 1 are exposed at the opening 1 of the alkaline battery.

However, since the stainless steel 8 and nickel 9 are not easily amalgamated by the mercury contained in the negative electrode zinc 2, when the electrolyte adheres to the opening cut portion 10 of the sealing plate 1,
A local battery is formed between the amalgamated copper layer 7 and the stainless steel 8 or nickel 9, and hydrogen gas is generated from the cut portion 10.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in an enlarged view of the sealing plate 1 opening lever 13 in FIG.
IC, 1: Explain. That is, amalgam similar to the inner surface of the sealing plate 1 is formed on a part of the surface of the sealing plate 1, centering on the opening cut portion 10, excluding the inner part that contacts the negative electrode active material and the outer part that contacts the terminal of the device using the battery. A coating layer of metal 11, which is easily oxidized, is provided.
