Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a square battery having good sealing capability by specifying the corner radius RCS of the opening of a metal case and the corner radius RCB of the body of the metal case so as to be RCS<=RCB after the sealing of a battery. CONSTITUTION:A cover plate 4 is arranged inside a gasket 2, then they are inserted into the opening of a case 1. The opening end of the case 1 is bent inward with a crimping die to fix the cover plate 4 through the gasket 2. A battery is pushed up through the inside of a drawing die D having the inlet taper D1 to narrow the opening of the case 1 as shown in an arrow and the die D is continuously moved upward and pushed out from the battery to complete a square sealed battery. By specifying the relation between the corner radius RCS of the opening of the case 1 and the corner radius RCB of the body of the case 1 so as to be RCS<=RCB after narrowing, the body corner is not narrowed and the power generating element inside the battery is not adversely affected. Therefore, the battery having good sealing capability can be obtained.

In such a case, the sealing force in the lateral direction of the opening is only the repulsion elastic force of the gasket, so there is a problem that high sealing performance cannot be obtained.

Therefore, in order to improve the sealing performance, a method was adopted in which the case opening was expanded outward in advance, the opening end was bent inward when caulking, and the pre-expanded opening was narrowed down to the body dimensions. There is. However, this method has a problem in that distortion tends to occur in a corner portion when the case opening is narrowed.

Therefore, in the squeezing process, as shown in Figure 5, there was a method of squeezing the battery by pushing it up from below into a squeezing die D with a draw-in taper D1. When pushed out, the body radius, which does not need to be squeezed, is deformed and this affects the internal power generating element, so in the middle of squeezing, the battery must be pushed down again from above in the direction of the arrow to remove the battery from below. The mechanism was sloppy.
