Abstract

PURPOSE:To always regulate accurately amount of zinc of negative electrode without lowering accuracy of measurement by forming only negative electrode portion through exfoliation and removal of only the external circumference of zinc layer of 4-layer metal plate manufactured as a terminal plate. CONSTITUTION:A 4-layer metal plate of nickel-stainless steel-copper-zinc is formed in the structure that the one surface of stainless steel plate 6 is clad with a steel plate while the other surface with a nickel plate 5. After this metal is formed into a negative electrode terminal plate, only zinc of the external circumference 2a of zinc plate is exfoliated or removed. A negative electrode thus obtained and a positive electrode obtained in the other process by accommodating a sealing gasket 10 and a positive electrode black mix 8 within a positive can 7, and then placing a separator 9 impregnating electrolyte on such positive electrode black mix are combined, and thereafter these are curled with the drawing area of circumference edge of the positive can, completing a battery.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In recent years, button-type alkaline batteries have tended to become thinner and thinner;
The following problems arise when the following ultra-thin alkaline batteries are made. First, as the filling volume of the negative electrode in the battery decreases in proportion to the thinning of the battery, the number of powdered zinc particles to be weighed becomes significantly smaller, and the powdered zinc weighing mfi'J
The condition becomes extremely worse. For this reason, large variations occur in the amount of powdered zinc filled in the negative electrode, making it difficult to achieve uniform cell performance and ultra-thin design. Furthermore, as the thickness is reduced, the distance between the upper surface of the negative electrode and the upper end of the negative electrode terminal plate becomes less secure, so that zinc powder tends to spill onto the outside of the negative electrode terminal plate. For this reason, be very careful when dropping powdered zinc onto the negative terminal plate, or when applying external vibrations to flatten the powdered zinc that has formed into beads on the negative terminal plate after falling. This not only makes the handling complicated, but also increases the working time, resulting in the inconvenience of deterioration of workability.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The ultra-thin button-type alkaline battery of the present invention is obtained by peeling off only the outer periphery of the zinc layer of a 4tl metal plate made of nickel-stainless steel-copper-zinc processed into the shape of a negative terminal plate. The gist is that the negative electrode portion is formed by removing the negative electrode portion. Furthermore, a structure may be adopted in which the battery suspension of the negative electrode is increased by welding a zinc plate to the central part of the zinc layer.
