Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the deterioration of a sealing plate, and decrease the volume reduction of the sealing plate by providing an easily amalgamated metal on the inner side of the sealing plate which touches a negative electrode made of an amalgamated zinc, and providing the lower end of the peripheral vertical part of the sealing plate with a part slanting inwardly and a U-shaped turning part extending outward from the inwardly slanting part. CONSTITUTION:An air supply hole 2 is provided in the bottom of a positive can 1, which also serves as a positive terminal. A liquid-absorbing body 3 is made of cellulose. A micro-porous fluorine-resin film 4 prevents the leakage of electrolyte. A positive electrode 5 is made of a nickel core member 5a and a catalyst 5b which principally consists of active carbon. A separator 6 provided on the upper surface of the positive electrode 5 prevents any internal short circuit which might develop between the electrode 5 and a negative electrode 8. A sealing plate 7 is packed with an amalgamated zinc powder forming the negative active material 8 and an alkaline electrolyte. A sealing gasket 9 insulates between the sealing plate 7 and a can 1. The lower end of the peripheral vertical part 7c of the plate 7 is provided with a part 7a slanting inwardly and a U-shaped turning part 7b extending outward from the slanting part 7a. The height (h1) of the part 7b is adjusted to 0.2-0.3 of the total height (h2) of the plate 7.

Traditionally, so-called alkaline batteries have been constructed using frozen zinc as the negative electrode active material, oxygen or metal oxide as the positive electrode active material, and caustic alkaline electrolyte as the electrolyte - due to their excellent electrochemical properties. Therefore, the demand for it has been increasing in recent years.

However, the problem with these batteries is that metallic zinc is used as the negative electrode active material, so icy zinc powder, in which mercury is diffused and dissolved on the zinc surface, is used over the zinc corrosion protection to make contact with the negative electrode active material. The inner surface of the metal sealing plate is made of a metal whose ionization tendency is smaller than or similar to that of zinc and which is easily amalgamated by mercury transferred from frozen zinc, such as copper, copper alloy, tin, indium, gold, It is necessary to provide a layer of silver or the like so that as the amalgam progresses, the hydrogen overvoltage increases and the local cell disappears. However, when the negative electrode active material storage container (hereinafter referred to as a sealing plate) of this type of battery is constructed of these easily freezing metals alone, the following disadvantages occur.

■ 長期に渡って外気に接する゛ととにより変色。■ Discoloration due to long-term exposure to outside air.

■ Because the metal is water-injectable, the amalgam layer gradually diffuses during long-term storage, and amalgam develops at the neck of the battery terminal.As the amalgam progresses, the electrolyte leaks up and corrodes the battery terminal surface. Put it away.

For reasons of ■ and ■, conventionally these water-repellent metals are bonded to de-icing metals, such as stainless steel or nickel, by explosion bonding, cold rolling, etc. The sealing plate was constructed using a so-called clad material. These sealing plates were constructed by drawing a clad material into a spout shape as shown in FIG. 2. In this case, during punching after drawing, a concentrated load is applied to the cutting part, and microscopically, as shown in Figure 3, the cladding material becomes water-injectable due to the press pressure during drawing. Peeling often occurs in either the metal layer B or the anti-icing metal layer C, especially on the thinner metal layer side.

An example of the button type air-zinc battery shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. In the figure, numeral 1 denotes a positive electrode can that also serves as a positive electrode terminal, and an air supply hole 2 is provided at the bottom. 3 is a liquid-absorbing material with excellent liquid-retaining properties, and is composed of cellulose. 4
is a microporous fluororesin membrane that prevents electrolyte from leaking. Reference numeral 6 denotes a positive electrode, which is composed of a nickel core material 6a and a catalyst 5b whose eaves component is activated carbon filled in the nickel core material. A separator 6 is placed on the upper surface of the positive electrode 6 and is made of microporous polypropylene to prevent internal short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes. Reference numeral 7 denotes a sealing plate which is the main point of the present invention, which will be described later, and is filled with frozen zinc powder, which is the negative electrode active material 8, and an alkaline electrolyte. A sealing gasket 9 insulates the sealing plate 7 and the positive electrode can 1, and is usually made of engineering plastic. Next, regarding the sealing plate 7 of the present invention, at the lower end of the peripheral vertical portion 7C, there is a portion 7a that is inclined in the inner diameter direction, and a U-shaped folded portion 7 that overlaps the inclined portion and extends outward.
b. Here, when the total height of the sealing plate is h2° and the height of the folded portion is hl, it is preferable to provide the folded portion 7b with a U-shaped cross section so that h1/h2 is 0.2 to 0.3.

In other words, when h1/h2 is less than 0.20,
During press processing, it is difficult to fold back into a U-shape, and the
This is because if it is 30 or more, the length of the inclined portion becomes large and the internal volume of the sealing plate becomes small, which substantially reduces the actual capacity of the battery and is meaningless. The following table shows an outer diameter of 11.6 mm and a total height of 5.
4111 R44 type zinc-air battery was constructed, and the results of investigating the characteristics after storage are shown. Regarding storage characteristics, the actual capacity is shown when constant resistance discharge is performed with a load resistance of 620Ω (storage temperature is 46°C). Regarding the internal volume of the sealing plate, the volume ratio is shown when the conventional sealing plate 7 without a U-shaped folded portion as shown in FIG. 2 is taken as 100.

As is clear from this table, the product according to the present invention has a temperature of 46°C.
The capacity deterioration rate after storage for 12 months is 8 to 9 inches, whereas the conventional one is extremely high at 44 inches, which fully confirms the effectiveness of the sealing plate of the present invention. This is because a concentrated load is applied to the part that is cut after drawing during press working, so when metal materials are made by bonding dissimilar metals together, one of the metal materials may peel off. Alternatively, since cracks and the like are likely to occur, the above-mentioned problems occur. In the sealing plate of the present invention, the peeled part or the part where cracks are likely to occur is moved outward.
By folding it in the shape of a letter, it prevents direct contact with the zinc negative electrode and reduces the reduction in the volume of the sealing plate.
