BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, the demand for sealed lead-acid batteries has been increasing as a backup power source for computers that use multiple power sources. Such a sealed lead-acid battery collects oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode plate through electrolysis of water during charging by reacting with the linear lead that is the negative electrode active material, and also recovers the negative electrode plate partially uncharged. By making the battery shaped like this, a mechanism is provided to prevent hydrogen gas from being generated from the negative electrode plate, so normally gas will not escape to the outside of the battery. however,
When overcharging with a large current, the amount of oxygen gas generated at the positive electrode plate is greater than the oxygen gas absorption capacity of the negative electrode plate, and hydrogen gas is also generated from the negative electrode plate. pressure increases considerably. Therefore, a safety valve is provided that automatically opens when the internal pressure of the battery increases and releases the internal gas to the outside of the battery. In addition, in a sealed storage battery, if left alone, the negative electrode plate further absorbs oxygen gas, resulting in a reduced pressure state. In this case, if the airtightness inside the battery is not maintained, oxygen gas present in the air will be inhaled, causing rapid deterioration of the negative electrode plate (sulfation).
Resulting in. Therefore, the contact surface between the inner wall of the exhaust chamber and the safety valve is required to have smooth and close contact, and attention is paid to the airtightness of the safety valve.
