- thin rectangular batteries which are particularly suitable for thinning equipment and have a large space effect, are gaining importance.
- Lithium ion secondary batteries are composed of a composite oxide of lithium and a transition metal element as a positive electrode active material, graphite-based carbon as a negative electrode active material, an organic electrolyte solution that is an organic solvent solution of a lithium salt as an electrolyte, and a lithium ion conductor.
- This is a battery system that uses a non-aqueous electrolyte such as a solid electrolyte.
- lithium ions are released from the lithium-containing composite oxide of the positive electrode upon charging and eluted into the electrolyte, and at the same time, the same electrochemical equivalent of lithium ions is absorbed from the electrolyte into the carbon of the negative electrode. .
- lithium ions are occluded in the positive electrode to become a lithium-containing composite oxide, and lithium ions are repeatedly released from the negative electrode, as opposed to during charging. Because of this behavior, lithium ion rechargeable batteries were identified as rocking chair batteries. Lee.
- the composite of lithium and at least one transition metal element selected from the group of cobalt, nickel and manganese exhibiting a high electrode potential is used for the positive electrode.
- Oxides are commonly used as active materials.
- lithium-ion secondary batteries have the advantage of being extremely high in the energy density per unit volume as well as the energy density per unit weight, among the battery systems currently in practical use.
- an organic electrolyte is used, so in the case of an external short circuit or overdischarge involving overcharge or reverse charge, the flowing current raises the battery temperature and evaporates or decomposes the solvent in the organic electrolyte.
- the internal pressure of the battery suddenly and abnormally increased, and not only did the battery container rupture and leaked, but also there was a risk of a fire accident if current continued to flow.
- an overcharge and overdischarge prevention circuit is usually built in a battery pack consisting of a plurality of cells, and the internal pressure of the battery is reduced.
- an explosion-proof safety valve was activated to release the high-pressure gas in the battery to the atmosphere, and a PTC element was provided in each cell to prevent excessive current from flowing.
- a lead plate of an electrode plate is attached in advance to an explosion-proof valve that deforms as the internal pressure increases, and the internal pressure reaches a predetermined value.
- the present invention relates to a small battery having a small sealing plate area, particularly a thin battery having a rectangular or long cross section. Explosion-proof, highly productive and highly reliable circular lithium-ion rechargeable batteries with a relatively simple sealing plate that operates accurately without sacrificing discharge capacity It is intended to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte battery provided with a safety valve for use. Disclosure of the invention

Abstract
Cette invention concerne une structure de clapet à l'épreuve des explosions pour batteries compactes et contenant un électrolyte non aqueux. Ces batteries peuvent par exemple consister une batterie auxiliaire à ions lithium qui est fine et rectangulaire ou possède une section transversale elliptique, et qui possède une surface réduite pour la plaque d'étanchéité. Cette invention concerne également la fabrication de la plaque d'étanchéité. Cette invention permet d'assurer la sécurité en ce qui concerne la batterie grâce à l'actionnement fiable du clapet à l'épreuve des explosions qui possède une structure simple, ceci sans amoindrir la capacité de la batterie. A cette fin, la partie bord supérieur ouverte d'un conteneur de cellule à fond métallique et la partie bord périphérique de la plaque d'étanchéité métallique sont hermétiquement jointes par soudage laser. Un orifice traverse la partie centrale de la plaque d'étanchéité, tandis qu'un rivet jouant également le rôle de borne est serré, hermétiquement collé et fixé à travers un joint. Un orifice d'évacuation, qui est situé entre la borne et la partie bord périphérique de la plaque d'étanchéité, est fermé par une feuille métallique et forme ainsi le clapet à l'épreuve des explosions. Grâce à sa structure simple, le clapet va fonctionner avec précision et prévenir ainsi toute défaillance. Cette plaque d'étanchéité peut en outre être fabriquée selon un processus continu sous forme d'anneau.
