Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the tightness of enclosure of the title battery by curving inward at least two edges of four edges of the rectangular edges of the opening of a metal case. CONSTITUTION:The opening of a restriction is shaped in a concave lens, a bend D2 is provided inside of two opposite edges of a rectangular mold and a battery is pushed up from lower position to a forming die D including an accepting taper D1, the opening 4 of a metal case is contracted by pulling it. There is no possible danger that the opening 4 of the rectangular metal case is expanded outside in an elliptical form and tightness of enclosure can be improved by bending the rectangular edge part 5 of the thus contracted opening 4 of the case toward inside. And also productivity can be improved by caulking method for production.

Conventional prismatic sealed batteries, especially small portable prismatic sealed batteries,
As seen in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-319255, a bottom plate is melt-sealed on four sides by laser welding to an opening of a metal case in which a power generating element is housed.

However, in the case of such manufacturing methods, since laser welding is precision welding, unless the dimensional accuracy of the welded part is high and stable, welding defects will occur, which will greatly affect the sealing performance, and in addition, the sealing speed will be affected. However, it also had the problem of being extremely slow compared to the caulking method.

Therefore, the present inventors proposed a manufacturing method using a sealing method in which the opening of the metal case is squeezed with a mold. According to this method,
There is no need to consider the accuracy of parts or the effects of heat on synthetic resin parts, and there are advantages in that productivity is extremely high.

On the other hand, in this method, a gasket made of relatively hard synthetic resin such as nylon or polypropylene is compressed to a thickness of 20 to 60 mm in order to improve sealing.
Springback occurs due to the rigidity of the gasket, and the opening of the rectangular metal case tends to expand outward into an elliptical shape, resulting in a problem of reduced sealing performance.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a prismatic battery in which the open end of a bottomed prismatic metal case containing a power generating element is bent inward to seal it. This method of manufacturing a prismatic sealed battery is characterized in that at least two of the four prismatic sides are curved inward.

As described above, the present invention provides a spring for the insulating gasket that is compressed between the cover plate and the metal case after being squeezed by curving inward at least two of the four square sides of the opening of the metal case. Since it is possible to prevent the case opening from bulging outward due to the back, the sealing performance is improved, and by using the manufacturing method using the caulking method, productivity can be improved and manufacturing costs can be reduced.
