Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure and reinforce the welding between a battery case and a cover and improve the property of sealing by fitting the battery case to the cover so that the tip of the aperture section of the battery case can be protruded from the upper end on the external surface section of the cover and starting welding in the state. CONSTITUTION:First of all, a negative electrode, separator, separation paper, positive electrode, etc. are inserted in a battery case and then the battery case 4 and a cover 5 are fit together so that the tip of the aperture section of the battery case 4 can be protruded from the upper end on the external surface section of the body section 6 of the cover 5. Besides, they are heated by heating means, such as a plasma arc in this state and are welded. Thus, the section protruded from the upper end of the cover 5 of the battery case 4 is melted first and covers the upper end on the external surface section of the body section 6 of the cover 5. The welding between the battery case 4 and cover 5 advances in this state. Furthermore, since the tip of the aperture section of the battery case 4 is melted first and covers the upper end on the external surface section of the body section 6 of the cover 5, imbedding welding is possible by the melting pool of the previously melted battery case even when there is a slight gap between the battery case 4 and the cover 5.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the manufacturing method of a sealed battery that employs a hermetic seal, and an object of the present invention is to ensure welding between the battery case and the lid to improve the intercalation property. . - For example, in batteries that require a high degree of image density, such as thionyl chloride-lithium batteries, a bar mesh seal is used as a sealing means. In the case of this hermetic seal, the battery case and the lid are joined by welding. During this welding, the joint shape is such that the tip of the opening of the battery case (4) and the body of the lid (S) are connected as shown in Figure 8. 11 (6) A helical joint with the same height at the top of the outer periphery is adopted. By the way, in the case of a hermetic seal, the lid has an insulating part (7) made of glass or ceramics, so in order to cut out cracks in the insulating part (7) due to deformation, the part of the body (6) has a rigidity that exceeds the strength. Therefore, the thickness of the plate material used for convenience is thicker than that of the battery case (4). As a result, as mentioned above, the tip of the opening of the battery case (4) and the body part (6) of the lid (5)
When welding with the upper edges of the outer periphery aligned, the thinner battery case (4) will melt faster, and sufficient welding strength will not be obtained, and in extreme cases, the battery case (4) will melt faster. There are cases where the S is melted and the lid (S) is not melted at all and cannot be welded.

In light of such circumstances, the present invention has been proposed to weld the battery case and the lid so that the opening end of the battery case protrudes beyond the upper edge of the outer periphery of the lid. By doing so and starting welding from that state, it is possible to securely and strongly weld the battery case and the lid, thereby providing a highly sealed battery.

Then, from this state, welding is performed by heating using a heating means such as a plasma arc. Then, the part that sticks out from the top of the lid (5) of the battery case (4) will be removed.
Cover the upper edge of the outer periphery of part (6) of the body of li (5), and in this state welding between the battery case (4) and IE (5) progresses until the state shown in Figure 1 is reached. . As a result, the tip of the opening of the battery case (4) melts and covers the upper part of the outer periphery of the body part (.) of the lid (5), resulting in a slight gap between the battery case (4) and the lid (i). Even if there is a gap, welding can be performed by digging into the molten pool of the battery case that melted first. The amount by which the upper edge of the outer periphery of the lid (5) of the battery case (4) protrudes is determined by the balance between the amount of heat input into the battery case (4) and the lid (5) and the ratio of the thickness of the battery case (4). It is preferable to do so.
