Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the shrinkage force of an insulating gasket while it is being sealed and obtain good resistance to leakage by forming a tapered section on the external end face of a metal support body. CONSTITUTION:A metal support body 17 loaded on the step 154 of a gasket 15 forms a tapered section 17a on the external end face at an angle of 40 to 50 deg.. In addition, the gasket 15, a collector rod 16, the metal support body 17, and a cathode sealing plate 18 are integrated by loading the cathode sealing plate 18 that secures the collector rod 16 on the support body 17 by welding and such. In this status, after the enlarged opening of a metal can 11 is tightened in the radial direction and is reduced diametrically, the opening section of the metal can 11 is bent inside through the folding protruded wall 155 of the gasket 15 and is sealed by pressing the upper part of the sealing plate 18. As a result, pressing force is applied to the tapered section 17a of the metal support 17 through the insulating gasket 15 and forcing force is generated in the opening direction and then shrinkage force is improved remarkably by the folding protruded wall 155 of the gasket 15.

As is well known, alkaline batteries generate a small amount of gas during discharge or storage. This is due to the electrocapillary action that occurs between the gas pressure accumulated in the battery, the negative level of the electrode, and the surface tension at the electrolyte interface, and the electrochemical reaction in which oxygen gas in the air is reduced to O. It is thought that the cause is something.

Leakage of electrolyte The leakage rate is high from the cathode sealing plate on the cathode side, but at this time, the leakage of the electrolyte itself is relatively small, and is more likely to occur between the positive 4ffi 1111 can and gasket. A large amount of liquid leaks in a short period of time.

For this reason, it is extremely important to have a sealing structure for the cathode metal can, which controls leakage on the anode side.

However, when a pressing force is applied by bending the opening of the metal can 1 during sealing, all five metal supports 7 move downward while deforming the gasket 5 located below, causing the metal can 1 to collapse. In some cases, sufficient tightness could not be applied to the gasket 5 between the bent portion of the opening and the metal support 7, and this portion was not sufficiently effective in terms of leakage resistance.

After being stored for 45 and 90 days in an atmosphere of 0° C. and relative humidity of 90 tons, the number of leaking samples was examined, and the results shown in the table below were obtained. To measure the concentrated liquid here, place 1 on the top surface of the cathode sealing plate.
The resulting Alka'JK solution was visually inspected under 20x magnification, and a color reaction using a phenol red reagent was used.

Table 1 below: Margin 1 However, in Table 1, if the angle of the tapered part is less than 30', the support itself will not have the strength to withstand the tightening force of the gasket, and if it exceeds 50', it will be susceptible to pressure from the lateral direction. Although the leakage resistance may be slightly reduced due to the inability to obtain sufficient upward pushing force, in any case, the battery obtained by this invention has better leakage resistance than conventional ones. It was found that sexual performance improved.
