Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the explosion or rupture of a cell when the cell internal pressure is increased by the large-current discharge or charge by storing an electrode plate group having a cutoff type current collecting terminal into a cell can formed with recesses and projections on the periphery and connecting this terminal to a cell cover. CONSTITUTION:An electrode plate group 1 is stored in a cell can 7, then the electrode plate group 1 and a cutoff type current collecting terminal 2 are pressed into the cell can 7 by a cell cover 3. Next, when the large-current discharge or charge is performed, the internal pressure of the cell is increased. The cell is designed so that the recesses and projections 6 of the cell can 7 are made flat and the cell is extended in the longitudinal direction when the internal pressure reaches the safety limit. When the internal pressure reaches the safety limit, the cell can 7 is thereby extended, and the cutoff type current collecting terminal 2 is pulled and cut off. The electric discharge or charge of the cell is stopped by this cutoff, thus the internal pressure is not increased further. The explosion or rupture of the cell can be prevented accordingly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention uses lithium, which has a low melting point, as a cathode active material, and uses lithium as a cathode active material, such as a lithium-thionyl chloride battery, a lithium-sulfuryl chloride battery, or a lithium-sulfur dioxide battery. This invention relates to a battery that uses an oxyhalide-based non-aqueous substance as an electrolyte.

However, the melting point of lithium, which is the cathode active material, is 179°C.
It is considered a safety issue because the lithium is separated from the oxyhalide, which is separated by the anode active material, or by a thin film of lithium chloride that forms on the lithium surface.

For example, if a large current is discharged, the temperature of the battery will rise and there is a possibility of an explosion. This is because when the battery temperature reaches the melting point of lithium, the lithium melts and at the same time the thin film of lithium chloride is destroyed, causing a rapid reaction between the lithium and the oxyhalide.

On the other hand, even if the battery temperature does not rise to the melting point of lithium, the internal pressure increases as the temperature rises and the battery container may break. For example, the discharge reaction of a lithium-thionyl chloride battery is as shown by the following formula: 4Li+2SOO-gt→4L r OA+ SOt
+ Sulfur and sulfur dioxide are produced by S discharge.

Since it is easily dissolved in thionyl chloride, no extreme increase in the internal pressure of the battery is observed at around room temperature. However, as the temperature rises, the solubility of sulfur dioxide decreases and at the same time the vapor pressure of thionyl chloride increases, causing a rapid increase in the battery internal pressure. This is thought to be one of the causes of battery destruction.

In order to solve the above safety problems, it is necessary to install fuses to prevent large current discharge, temperature fuses and thermoswitches that detect the surface temperature of the battery and cut off the output, and also to prevent charging. The only options available were to install a diode outside the battery or to install a safety valve in the battery.

The fuse cutting current value generally has a fairly wide range.
Moreover, since the error is also large, it is preferable to use one with the smallest possible capacity in order to improve safety. If a fuse with a small capacity is used, there is a problem that the fuse will blow even if a large current is passed for a short period of time. Furthermore, methods using temperature fuses or thermoswitches detect the temperature of the N oil surface and cut off the output, so they cannot cope with rapid heat generation inside the battery, such as when discharging with an extremely large current.

Because the diode is connected in series with the battery, the discharge voltage is reduced by 0.7 to 0.8 cm. Furthermore, the method of installing a safety valve in a battery is to prevent an abnormal rise in internal pressure by opening the safety valve (or by opening the safety valve, the highly corrosive electrolyte may leak outside and damage surrounding equipment). There is a fear.

Next, when discharging or charging a large current, the internal pressure of the battery rises, but when the internal pressure reaches the safe limit, the uneven part 6 of the battery can 7 becomes flat and the battery is designed to extend in the length direction. If the internal pressure reaches a safe limit, the battery can 7 will be stretched and at the same time the cut-off current collector terminal 2 will be pulled and cut. Since the discharging or charging of the battery is stopped by the disconnection, the internal pressure will no longer increase, and explosion or rupture of the battery can be prevented. Furthermore, if the battery can 7 has uneven portions 6, the surface area of the battery becomes thicker, so the cooling effect is greater than that of a normal battery without uneven portions 6, and the maximum allowable discharge current is larger than that of a normal battery.
