- the transfer drawing method when the thickness of the battery can material is reduced in order to increase the energy density and increase the capacity, the deep drawing process is repeated to reduce the thickness.
- the obtained rectangular battery can has a problem that the strength is insufficient and a required pressure resistance cannot be secured when functioning as a battery.
- a prismatic battery can when it functions as a battery, its deformation when the internal pressure of the battery rises is greater than that of a cylindrical battery can, which has a stable shape. It may deform so as to swell like a drum, which may cause electrolyte leakage and damage to equipment.
- a method of manufacturing a battery can for a cylindrical battery includes a DI that can produce a battery can that can secure a required pressure resistance while reducing the thickness and improving energy density, and that can be manufactured with high productivity.
- the construction method is used (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-999686).

It is characterized by being formed larger than the thickness of the part. If this prismatic battery can is used to form a prismatic battery, the short side plate of the rectangular battery can, whose cross-sectional shape is almost rectangular, has a relatively large thickness, so the internal pressure of the battery will increase when it functions as a battery. In that case, it acts as a pillar, and reliably prevents the battery from trying to deform into a drum-shaped swelling shape toward a more stable cylindrical shape.
- this prismatic battery can reliably prevent electrolyte leakage, damage to equipment and occurrence of malfunctions, and can constitute a highly reliable prismatic battery.
- the long side plate which has a larger area than the short side plate, is formed to be relatively thin, so that the inner volume of the rectangular battery can becomes larger and the battery can be filled with more battery active material.
- a prismatic battery with improved volumetric energy density can be constructed.
- this rectangular battery can solves the problem that cracks and breaks are likely to occur in the short side plate portion when manufactured by DI processing by making the thickness of the short side plate portion relatively large. Easy to manufacture by DI processing with various features.

- the prismatic battery can is made of a metal material mainly composed of iron before processing.
- the HV value of the side plate after processing is preferably 1.5 times or more the HV value indicating the hardness.
- a cup-shaped intermediate product can be formed by processing a low-hardness material having a good workability and an HV value of 80 to 90, the occurrence of cracks or breakage can be more reliably prevented. Furthermore, in the ironing process, it is possible to obtain a rectangular battery can having sufficient pressure resistance by increasing the hardness of the long side plate portion by work hardening while increasing the capacity by reducing the thickness of the long side plate portion. it can.
- the prismatic battery can has a shape in which the thickness of the side plate portion around the sealing portion when the battery is formed is formed to be at least 10% or more thicker than the thickness of other portions of the side plate portion. Is preferred.
- the thickness around the battery sealing portion which is the weakest in pressure resistance, is at least 10% thicker than the other parts, so that the battery is sealed. Strength can be maintained.
- the method for manufacturing a prismatic battery can of the present invention includes a first method of forming a first intermediate power cup having a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape by deep drawing a battery can material punched into a predetermined shape. And the DI process of continuously drawing and ironing the first intermediate force-up body at once at a time, so that the cross-sectional shape is substantially rectangular, and the short side plate portion is formed.
- a second step of forming a prismatic battery can having a thickness greater than the thickness of the long-side plate portion.
- the transfer drawing method which is the main manufacturing method of a conventional rectangular battery can, requires 10 or more steps, whereas a rectangular battery can of a desired shape can be manufactured in two steps.
- Productivity can be significantly improved.
- the thickness of the short side plate Since it is formed larger than the thickness of the long side plate, it is possible to prevent the short side plate from being cracked or broken during DI processing, and to stably produce a rectangular battery can having a desired shape.
- another manufacturing method of the prismatic battery can of the present invention is a method of deep-drawing a battery can material punched into a predetermined shape to form a first intermediate cup body having a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape. And a step of continuously redrawing the first intermediate cup body in a plurality of stages to obtain a substantially elliptical shape having a smaller ratio of the minor axis / major axis than the cross-sectional shape of the first intermediate cup body.
- a second step of forming a second intermediate cup body having a cross-sectional shape of the following, and the second intermediate cup body is subjected to DI processing in which drawing and ironing are continuously performed at a time, and DI processing is performed.
- a third step of forming a rectangular battery can having a substantially rectangular shape and a thickness of the short side plate portion larger than a thickness of the long side plate portion. I have.
- a rectangular battery in this method of manufacturing a rectangular battery can, the same effect as the above-described manufacturing method can be obtained, and also, prior to DI processing, the ratio of the minor axis / major axis is smaller than the cross-sectional shape of the first intermediate cup body.
- a rectangular battery can having a desired shape can be stably manufactured without generating a distorted shape, a defect such as a crack or a break.
- the long diameter of the first intermediate cup body is approximately 20 to 20% longer than the long diameter of the first intermediate cup body.
- the first intermediate cup body is drawn so as to shorten only the dimension in the minor axis direction without restricting the dimension in the major axis direction, and It is preferable that the intermediate power cup body be deformed into a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape having a smaller ratio of the minor axis / major axis than the transverse cross-sectional shape of the intermediate force member.
