As described below, one of the functions of the current collector assembly 25 is to provide a second external electrical contact to the electrochemical cell. In addition, the current collector assembly 25 needs to seal the open end of the tank 12 to prevent The electrochemical material leaked out of the battery. Furthermore, the current collector assembly 25 needs to show sufficient strength to withstand the physical misuse faced by the battery. In addition, because the electrochemical cell generates hydrogen, the current collector assembly 25 should The internally generated argon gas can be allowed to penetrate and escape to the outside of the electrochemical cell. In addition, the current collector assembly 25 should include some types of pressure release mechanisms to facilitate the release of this pressure when the pressure in the battery is too large. This situation occurs in electrochemical cells that can penetrate the current collector beyond the internally generated hydrogen. When the assembly is out of battery speed. The current collector assembly 25 of ττ shown in FIG. 1 includes a seal 30, a current collector pin 40, an inner cover 44, a washer 50, and a plurality of iron pitches 52.

Description of the Invention (3) The seal 30 further includes a V-shaped portion 34 that can contact one of the upper surfaces 16 of the first electrode 15. The seal 30 also includes an upright wall 36 along the periphery, which extends upward along the periphery of the seal 30 in a circular manner. The 'peripheral upright wall 36 is not only used as a seal between the current collector assembly 25 and the interface of the tank 12 It also acts as an electrical insulator to prevent short circuits from occurring between the positive can of the battery and the negative contact terminals. The inner cover 44 made of a hard metal is used to increase the rigidity and support the radial compression of the current collector assembly 25, thereby improving the sealing efficiency. As shown in 囷 1, the inner cover 44 is constructed to contact the central hub 32 and the peripheral upright wall 36. Based on this, the current collector assembly 25 is constructed. The inner cover 44 allows the current collector pin 40 to compress the central hub. 32 'and also supports the inner surface of the tank 12 to compress the peripheral upright wall 36. The outer cover 45 is usually made of nickel-plated steel, and is constructed to extend from an area defined by a ring-shaped upright wall 36 of the seal 30 and a head 42 which is in electrical contact with a current collector pin 40. The outer cover The body 45 can be welded to the head 42 'of the current collector pin 40 to prevent any contact loss. As shown in Figure 1, when the current collector assembly 25 is embedded in the open end of the tank 12, the current collector pin 40 penetrates into the electrolyte / second electrode mixture 20 and establishes sufficient electrical contact therebetween. In the example shown, the outer cover 45 includes a peripheral edge 47 that extends upward along the periphery of the outer cover 45. By forming the seal 30, the peripheral upright wall 36 is longer than the peripheral edge 47, and one of the peripheral upright walls 36 The part can be folded to the ring edge 47 during the creping to prevent any part of the upper edge 13 of the can body 12 from contacting the outer cover body. The seal 30 is preferably made of nylon.

Invention Description (4) Institutions provide internal pressure It can be released when it is too large. Furthermore, the inner cover body 45 and the outer cover body 45 are usually provided with holes 43 to allow hydrogen to escape outside the battery 10. The mechanism shown includes a ring metal The company 50 and the plurality of iron distances 52 are provided between the seal 30 and the inner cover 44. Each of the plurality of iron distances 52 includes a tip 53 that is pressed against a thin middle portion 38 of the seal 30. The iron distance 52 is biased Under the inner surface of the inner cover 44, when the internal pressure of the battery 10 increases and the seal 30 is gradually deformed by pressing upward toward the inner cover 44, the tip 53 of the iron distance w penetrates the thin middle portion of the seal 30 38, thereby breaking the seal 30 and allowing the internally generated gas to escape through the hole 43. Although the above-mentioned current collector assembly 25 can satisfactorily perform the above-mentioned required function, it can be known from its cross-sectional configuration that this special The current collector assembly takes up a lot of space in the battery 10. Since the external specifications of the electrochemical cell are generally fixed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the larger the space occupied by the current collector assembly, the larger the space inside the battery. The less space available for electrochemical materials. As a result, the amount of electrochemical materials provided in the battery is reduced, resulting in a shorter battery life ', so it is necessary to increase the space in an electrochemical battery for electrochemical activity Composition. 'It should be noted that The structure is only an example of a battery structure. Other current collector assemblies have smaller configurations and occupy less space in the battery. However, this current collector assembly is usually sacrificed to the sealing feature or pressure of the current collector assembly. Releasing the performance and stability of the mechanism to reduce the occupied space. Therefore, it is necessary to constitute a kind of electrochemical battery, in which the space occupied by the current collector assembly and the space occupied by the container volume are minimized, while still maintaining an appropriate Sealing characteristics and a stable pressure release mechanism.

For each battery The internal space of the electrochemically active material, the total battery space, and the current collector assembly space can be observed by looking at a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing, a photo ', or the actual battery in a longitudinal section taken in epoxy resin. The cross-section is determined. Using CAD drawings, photos, or actual longitudinal cross-sections to observe and measure the battery specifications can cover all the spaces that may exist in the battery. When you want to measure the total battery space, take a cross-sectional view of the battery along the central longitudinal symmetrical axis and use geometric calculations to measure the entire space. Β To measure the internal space for electrochemically active materials, take along the central longitudinal symmetrical axis The cross section of the battery is not taken out, and geometrical calculations are used to measure the constituents of the internal space ', including electrochemically active materials, the amount of voids, and chemically inert materials confined to the enclosed space of the battery (unlike current collector pins). Similarly, to determine the space of the current collector assembly, take out the cross section of the battery taken symmetrically along the central longitudinal line, and use geometric calculations to measure the components of the current collector assembly space.

The current collector assembly includes a seal 130, and the seal has an inverted v-shaped portion 134, a hub portion 132, and a thinned portion 138.増 Thickness between 139. The basic difference between the batteries 100 and 100, the current collector assembly is that the inner cover member 144 of the battery 100 is omitted. In order to ensure that sufficient radial compression force is applied to the upright leg member 136 of the seal 130, the battery 100 uses a The roll-back cover 145m is used in place of the flanged cover 145 in the battery 100 and also uses a holding member 150. It can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5 that a roll-back cover is different from a flanged cover in that the ring 147 of the flanged cover 145 is flat, and the ring of the roll-back cover 145 is flat. The edge 147 'extends axially downwards and also folds axially upwards. The roll-back cover 145 'is to provide a dog's elastic force in the radial direction, so as to keep the upright leg member 136 of the seal 130 pressed against the inner wall of the tank body 112 during normal use. The holder 150 is provided above and around the upper portion of the hub portion 132 of the seal 130 to press the hub portion 132 against the current collector pin 140. At the same time, the holder 150 has a J-shaped or L-shaped cross-section. The radial extension below 150 can surely cause the seal 130 to break near the thinned portion 138 when the internal force reaches an excessive degree.

The seal 230 is preferably a gas-butadiene rubber, The butyl or acetonitrile rubber is made, and the hard inner cover 210 is preferably made of low carbon steel 1008 or 1010. Since rubber is easier to compress than nylon or polypropylene materials commonly used in this current collector assembly, the radial compressive strength of the rigid inner cover 210 need not be so large. The inner cover can therefore be thinner and / or Made of soft metal. Furthermore, materials other than metal can be used. In addition, the seal 230 may be made of other materials, such as being chemically inert, impermeable to water, compressible, and capable of combining the materials used to form the hard inner cover 210. In addition, by reducing the radial force required to compress the perimeter upright wall of the seal, the thickness of the tank wall can be reduced from 0.010 inches (10 mils) to about 0.006 inches (6 mils), or even if possible It is 0.004 inches (4 mils).

Description of the invention (18) is a sealing material 'The current collector assembly The water leakage rate can be greatly reduced, and by reducing the water leakage rate of the battery, the daily maintenance of the battery should be increased. The hard inner cover 210 is generally dish-shaped and has a central hole 218 formed in the center and a plurality of other holes 217 '. The central hole 218 and other holes 217 pass from the upper surface to the bottom surface of the hard inner cover 2H). . If it is made of metal, the hard inner cover 210 is preferably produced by pressing a piece of metal. However, the inner cover 210 can be made by other known manufacturing techniques, and then the hard inner cover 21 can be roughened. A chemical process, such as sand blasting or chemical etching, is used to enhance the bonding strength between the hard inner cover 210 and the seal 230 which is subsequently formed. For a C-size battery, the hard inner cover 210 is preferably from 0.05 to 0.030 inches thick. After the hard inner cover 210 has been pressed and surface-treated, it is preferably embedded in a transfer mold press, and the rubber made into the seal 230 can be subsequently supplied therein. The transfer mold is preferably to allow the supply of rubber knees. A layer 232 is formed on the bottom surface of the hard inner lid body, and the thickness of the layer 232 is between 0.oio and 002 inches, and preferably 0,016 inches. The rubber also flows into the hole 217 to form a plug 238, and the rubber flows into the center at the same time The inside of the hole 218 looks at the surface of the central hole 218, but the hole is not completely filled. Therefore, a central hole 236 can be provided for the current collector pin 240 to be inserted later. The diameter of the central hole 236 is preferably sufficiently smaller than the diameter of the collector pin 240 so that the rubber lined in the central hole 218 can be significantly compressed in the hole 218 when the collector pin 240 can pass through the central hole 236. . By providing a retaining member 241 on the current collector 240 and pressing against the bottom 2:32 of the seal 23, the speed nut 250 cooperates with the retaining member 241 when the current collector pin 240 is driven in position. Also, the rubber layer 232 is compressed in the vertical direction. In this way, the compression rubber is sealed near the current collector pin 240, and then the current collector pin 240 and the integrated seal are sealed. -21- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) l · ----------- W Pack -------- Order --------- ^.

The possibility of leakage in the interface between the description of the invention (19) / inner cover assembly 228 significantly reduce. By filling the hole 217 with the rubber sealing plug 238 in the above manner, an energizing release mechanism can be provided, which is not only functionally stable, but also can effectively seal again after the internal pressure is released. When the internal pressure reaches a level deemed excessive, the excessive pressure ruptures at least one of the plugs 238 to facilitate the rapid release of internally generated gases. The pressure at the time of the rupture can be controlled according to the material selected for sealing, the thickness of the sealing material, and the diameter of the hole 217. Furthermore, due to the elasticity of the rubber sealing material, the rubber waist plug 238 can be substantially released after the release of the force. It is assumed to be in its original state, so it is different from the conventional ventilation mechanism used in the current collector assembly. The pressure release mechanism of the present invention does not cause a permanent hole in the current collector assembly to cause the electrochemical material to leak through this. Or, it greatly reduces the deterioration of the internal components of the battery, so it can prolong the battery life. Although only one of the holes 217 in the plug 238 needs to be provided as a pressure release mechanism, the added stability can be obtained by providing a plurality of plug holes. Unlike the prior art release mechanism structure, the present invention allows multiple Independently operated release mechanism. Even the pressure release mechanism shown in FIG. 1 including a plurality of iron distances still relies on the Washer 50 inverted for arbitrary iron distances to penetrate through the seal. However, the plug holes provided in the current collector assembly of the present invention are not interdependent. Therefore, it can be used for a more stable pressure release mechanism as a whole. As shown in FIG. 6, the seal 230 has an upright wall 235 formed directly on a peripheral edge of the hard inner cover 210. By providing this upright wall 235, a sufficient seal can be embedded in the tank body 212 in the current collector assembly 225. Generated. This seal can be enhanced by forming the outer diameter of the seal 230 larger than the inner diameter of the tank body 212, so that the inner cover body 210 compresses the upright wall 235 against the inner surface of the tank body 212. -22- This paper size is applicable to the standard of the poor countries (CNS) A4 (210 * 297 mm) l ·-丨 丨 丨 t ___! ^ Packing ------- 丨 Order ---- l__! ^ r (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Duty printing of employee cooperation of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 442990 Α7 Β7 V.

In the description of the invention (22), the space of the current collector assembly of batteries of different sizes made by using the ultra-low profile seal shown in Fig. 6 is compared. The current collector assembly space defined here includes the current collector pins, the inner lid, and any space between the bottom surface of the negative lid and the seal, and the container space defined here includes the tank, label, and negative lid. The space used by the body, the space between the label and the negative cover, the space between the positive cover, and the space between the positive cover and the tank. It can be understood that the total space of the battery is equal to the sum of the internal space, current collector assembly space, and container space available for electrochemically active materials. The total space of the battery, current collector assembly space, and container space are It is determined by the CAD drawing of the central longitudinal section of the battery. As can be seen from the list in FIG. 14B, the space of the current collector assembly is substantially smaller than that of any conventional battery. It should be understood that the space of the current collector assembly is reduced by using an ultra-low configuration sealing structure, for example, in the ultra-low configuration. The space consumed by the current collector assembly in the hermetic seal is 1.89 cc, which is 3.8% of the total space of 50.07 cc shown in Figure 14B; otherwise, it is less than the total current measured by any of the conventional batteries listed in 所列 2 B. Into space. The container space can also be reduced. Similarly, for a battery with a smaller can with a thickness of 8 or 6 mils, the internal battery space can be further increased significantly, while the container space is reduced. Examples of the above-mentioned ultra-low profile seals and multiple transformations of ultra-low profile seals can be found in the jointly assigned No. 09 / 036,208 proposed by Gary R. Tucholski at 6EI on March 1998. The current collector assembly of a bulk electrochemical cell is incorporated herein by reference. The low-profile seal and ultra-low-profile seal with positive protrusions are shown in Figure 7.

Description of the invention (23) is a positive battery terminal directly located in the closed end 214' of the tank 212. Therefore, the space existing between the closed end 214 of the tank body 212 and the positive outer cover body 211 (as shown in FIG. 6) can be used to accommodate the electrochemically active material, or to provide space for the collection of the gas, or the gas will exist in the battery. Those skilled in the art can further understand that the first example in FIG. 4 can also be adjusted. That is, the protrusions of the positive outer cover are directly formed on the bottom of the tank Zhao 112, although the protrusions formed directly on the bottom of the tank Zhao are added. Battery space is not shown in the list in Figure 14 A, but those skilled in the art should The internal space is usually only 1% larger than the ultra-low profile seal or low-profile seal space shown in the list, and it is equipped with a separate cover. The disc is formed at the bottom of the tank and has the force of an L-shaped seal Recording and playback of an electrochemical cell 300, which is made according to the fourth example of the present invention, is disclosed in 囷 8A to 8C. The battery 300 differs from the conventional battery structure in that a pressure release mechanism 370 is formed in the can body 312. Terminal 314, therefore, a complex current collector / seal assembly can be replaced with a current collector assembly that consumes less space and has fewer components, thus achieving a significantly improved internal battery space efficiency β as shown in Figure 8A As shown in Figures 8B, 9, and 10, the pressure release mechanism 370 is formed by providing a channel 372 in the bottom surface of the tank Zhao 312. The channel is formed by casting one of the bottom surfaces of the tank body 312 on the bottom surface. Cut a channel in the middle, or mold the channel in the bottom surface of the tank when the positive electrode is molded. For a battery of the size _AA, the metal thickness at the bottom of the casting channel is about 2 mils, and one; For sized batteries, the metal thickness at the bottom of the conversion channel is large 3 mil. The channel can be formed into an arc of about 300 degrees. By keeping the shape of the channel slightly open, the pressure release mechanism will have a practical connection. The size of the outer area of the channel 372 is better To be selected so that once it has passed • 26-f paper size is suitable for Chinese National Standards < CNS) A4 size (210 * 297 Gong) l · --ίίί —! ^ 装 i I! — Order! !! --- Begin- * (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Α7 442 9 9 〇 B7 V. Description of the invention (24) When the internal pressure is broken, the area inside the channel 372 can be on the outer cover The pole inside the positive protrusion of 311 is frame-turned without interfering with the outer cover member 3Π. Generally, the size of the area defined by the channel 372 and the selected depth of the channel are determined according to the diameter of the tank and the pressure when the pressure release mechanism is to be broken, and the gas generated inside is allowed to escape. Different from the prior art, the pressure release mechanism is formed in the side or the end of the tank body. The pressure release mechanism 370 of the present invention is positioned under the outer cover 311 to prevent the electrochemical material from harmfully ejecting directly from the battery when it is broken. Furthermore, if the battery is used in series with other batteries, the end of the positive terminal of the battery is pressed against the negative terminal of another battery, and the outer cover 31 i is provided on the pressure release mechanism 370 to allow the mechanism 370 to outward under the positive protrusion. Crossbow and finally broke. If the outer cover 311 does not exist in this environment, the contact between the two batteries can prevent the pressure release mechanism from breaking. Furthermore, if the outer cover 311 is not provided above the pressure release mechanism 370 ', the pressure release mechanism located at the positive end of the battery is more likely to be damaged. The outer cover 311 also shields the pressure release mechanism 370 from being corroded by the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the possibility of premature ventilation and / or leakage. Therefore, by forming a pressure release mechanism under the outer cover, the present invention It can overcome the problems related to the prior art structure, and it provides a widely used pressure release mechanism in a battery β. Because a pressure release mechanism is formed in the bottom surface of a battery tank, a complicated current collector / seal assembly is not required. Therefore, the open end of the battery can be sealed using structural technology, which was not previously used because the gas needs to be released from the pressure release mechanism to the outside of the battery. For example, as shown in 8A and 8B, the open end of the can body 312 can be placed with a J-shaped nylon seal 330 or an L-shaped nylon-27.

Description of the invention (30) Below, it can be added to the internal space used to accommodate electrochemically active materials. For example, for a D-size battery, the percentage of the total battery space used to hold the electrochemically active material can be as high as 97%, and the current of the current collector assembly can be as low as 1.6%. The space of other sizes of batteries is Included in the list of Figures τ 4A, 〖46. By using the sealing structure of the present invention, not only the wall thickness of the can body can be reduced, but also the amount of materials that can be used to form the can body can be increased by reducing the strength requirements required for the can body display. For example, the structure of the present invention described above can be made of aluminum or Plastic is used in tanks, not nickel-plated steel, which is currently used. A variation of the structure of the beverage can body is disclosed in FIG. 13. In the disclosed example, the battery can body is first formed with a pipe with two open ends. The pipe can be drawn, melted, welded, and glued using conventional techniques. The fittings can be made of steel, aluminum, or plastic. As shown in FIG. 13, the pipe defines a side wall 614 ′ of the can body 612, and a first open end of the pipe is subsequently closed by using an inner lid 616 and fixed by the above-mentioned beverage can sealing technology. The difference is the inner lid No electrical insulation is required between 616 and sidewall 614. A positive outer cover 618 can be welded or fixed to the outer surface of the inner cover 616, the battery is then filled and a negative outer cover 645 is fixed to the second open π end of the can 612 in the same manner as described above. The printed inscription on the can body is as shown above. The battery structure of the present invention can be combined for a printed label instead of the currently used label substrate. The existing label substrate has a thickness of 3 mils. When a seam is formed along the length of the battery, the conventional tags substantially increase the diameter by about 10 mils and the crepe height of the 13 mil battery. As a result, the battery can body must have a straight line selected to match the thickness of the seam of the label -33- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) L--If--Γ ---- I I --- Order -------- '' "-* ( Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) f A4299 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (5) Invention Note (31) to meet the ANSI size standard. However, by printing the lithographic label directly on the outer surface of the can body according to the present invention, the diameter of the can body can be correspondingly increased to about 10 mils, and the increase in the diameter of the can body can enlarge the internal space of the battery. . In addition to the beverage can structure, all the batteries in the list of Figures 14A and 14B include the substrate label. The internal space of the battery with the substrate label can increase 2% (1 '02 cc) for a D-size battery. C-size battery increased by 2.6% (.65 cc), AA size battery increased by 3.9% (0.202 cc), and 18.8 size battery increased by 5.5% (0.195 (^), and the label is directly printed on the can The label can also be printed on the can using transfer technology. The image of the label is first printed on a transfer medium and then directly transferred to the outside of the can. The twisted lithography can also be used to make it intentional. Twisted patterns printed on flat materials' to facilitate flat materials to form tube or tube parts of battery cans. The flat materials can be used to distort stress after printing. Before printing lithographic labels, the outer surface of the cans should be cleaned first. In order to strengthen the adhesion of the printed matter to the can body, the undercoat layer of the primer can be applied to the outer surface of the can body, and the printed label is then directly applied to the top surface of the undercoat layer on the can body by using the conventional lithographic printing technique. .A bright lacquer coating It can be applied to printed labels to cover and protect the printed labels, and also as an electrical insulation layer. The printed labels can be cured by high temperature heating or ultraviolet technology. Because of the use of printed labels, the thickness of a conventional label substrate is greatly reduced. The maximum thickness is as small as about 0.5 mil, especially the thickness of the undercoat layer is about 0.1 to 0.2 mil. The printed layer has a thickness of about ^ mil, and the lacquer coating has a thickness of about 0.1 to 0.2 mil, by By reducing the thickness of the label, the diameter of the can can be increased to increase the available space for active battery materials. -34- This paper size applies to China National Standard (Cns) A4 (210 X 297 cm) l · --Γ — — · ------ --- I I --— Order · 1 — 1 — * ^ v • · < Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) ^ 4429 9 〇 Α7 _Β7 ___ V.
