Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent internal short circuit by forming an envelope-like separator, inserting a positive plate in the separator, stacking positive plates and negative plates to form a plate group, and accommodating the plate group in a metal container. CONSTITUTION:Two lines of adhesive mainly comprising vinyl acetate are formed on each one side of separator paper ribbons 81, 82, and the separator paper ribbons are spirally wound to form a two ply cylindrical separator. The cylindrical separator is pressed between two rollers and one opening end is heat-sealed at melt-bonding part 9, then the separator is cut so as to have the length longer than that of a positive plate to form an envelope-like separator 8. The positive plate 6 is placed in the separator 8. The positive plates 6 and negative plates 7 are alternately stacked to form a plate group. The plate group is accommodated in a metal container 1. Since the positive plate 6 is completely covered with the separator 6, internal short circuit can be prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a rectangular sealed alkaline storage battery that improves a separator that isolates a strip-shaped positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate.

Conventionally, the electrode group in a sealed alkaline storage battery has been formed by stacking strip-shaped positive and negative electrode plates with a separator, which is larger in both width and feldspar, interposed between them. This electrode group was housed in a metal container, an insulating gasket was used, and the open end of the metal container was bent inward to seal the opening to produce a sealed alkaline storage battery.

Conventionally, in this type of sealed alkaline battery, the metal container housing the electrode plate group also serves as a negative electrode terminal, so it must be electrically insulated from the positive electrode plate. Therefore, both sides of the electrode plate group in which positive and negative electrode plates were stacked one on top of the other with seven pallets interposed therebetween were stacked to form negative electrode plates. In addition, since both the positive and negative electrodes are exposed on the end surface, the bottom surface of the metal container where the end surface touches is covered with an insulating material, or the width of the positive electrode plate is made narrower than the width of the negative electrode plate. It was necessary to prevent the positive electrode plate from coming into direct contact with the metal container.

However, if the necessary parts of the metal container are insulated, the capacitance between the positive and negative electrodes will be reduced by the thickness of the insulating member. Also, when making the width of the positive electrode plate narrower than the width of the negative electrode plate,
This was not preferable because the capacity of the positive electrode plate decreased.

Furthermore, when stacking the positive and negative electrode plates, misalignment between the plates or between the plates and the separator may cause the plates to come into contact with each other or the lead terminals of the other plate.
There was a problem in that it caused an internal short circuit.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above drawbacks and prevent internal short circuits.

As mentioned above, internal short circuits can be prevented by forming the separator into an envelope shape and inserting and enclosing the positive electrode plate inside it.
Furthermore, since the envelope-shaped separators are manufactured continuously, the number of assembly steps can be reduced. Furthermore, there is no need to lay an insulating member on the bottom of the battery container, and the capacity of both electrodes can be increased accordingly.

As shown in the table, it was found that internal short circuits were completely prevented in the batteries of the present invention. This is because when conventional batteries overlap the positive and negative electrode plates, the positioning of the separator that separates them requires precision, but misalignment of the electrode plates occurs, and the positive electrode plate completely closes at the end of the electrode group. This is because the metal container is not covered with a separator, so it may come into contact with the metal container. In contrast, in the battery of the present invention, the positive electrode plate is completely covered with the envelope-shaped separator, so there is no risk of internal short circuit.

According to the present invention, by making the separator that separates the positive and negative electrode plates into an envelope shape, there is no need to improve the positioning accuracy when stacking the electrode plates, and there is no need to provide an insulating member inside the metal container. . Furthermore, the envelope-shaped separator is made using an automatic machine.
