Abstract

PURPOSE:To strengthen the bending strength of a case to increase sealing capability and to thinning the thickness of the case to increase the capacity of a battery by specifying the radius of curvature and the bending angle when the opening end of the case is bent. CONSTITUTION:A positive plate 6 and a negative plate 7 are accommodated in a metal case 1 with a separator 8 interposed between the plates 6 and 7, and leads 6a, 7a are connected to a cover plate 4 and the case 1, respectively. A sealing body comprising an insulating gasket 5 and the cover plate 4 is inserted into an opening end 9. The opening end is bent at the radius of curvature which is 1-7 times the thickness of the case and at an angle of 90-135 deg. to fix the cover plate 4 through the gasket 5. A positive terminal plate 2 inside which an elastomer 3 is fitted is welded to the cover plate 4. The bending strength is thereby increased and the bulging caused by increase in internal pressure is retarded. The sealing capability is increased and the thickness of the case is decreased to increase the capacity of a battery.

It was found that leakage was completely prevented. This is because for batteries E and H that are outside the scope of the present invention, when the internal pressure of the stain pond increases due to gas generation, the case of the battery sealing portion deforms outward, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance. In comparison, in the battery of the present invention, the case sealing part is bent with a radius R of 1 to 7 times the thickness of the metal case, and
Since the case is bent within an angle 6 of 135 degrees, the case strength is high tb, and there is no deterioration in sealing performance due to deformation, so leakage resistance is excellent.

According to the present invention, the opening end of the case is set to 1 part of the thickness of the metal case.
By bending the case in the range of ~135 degrees with a radius of ~7 times, the bending strength of the case at the sealing part is increased.
Even when the internal pressure of the battery increases, it is possible to prevent the sealed portion of the case from expanding outward in an elliptical shape, thereby improving sealing performance. Therefore, since the safety valve operating pressure can be set high, it is possible to prevent the electrolyte from being consumed during operation, which occurs when the safety valve operating pressure is set low to suppress case deformation, and further, by reducing the thickness of the case plate, the capacitance can be reduced. can be increased.
