- the present invention provides a substantially oval battery 1 including a battery case 2 having a substantially oval cross section as shown in FIG. 1, a sealing plate 3 having a substantially oval shape, and an electrode plate group.
- the cross-sectional shape of the sealing plate 3 is U-shaped, the thickness of the battery 1 is 4 mm or more, and the aspect ratio is 3 or more, and a simple exhaust mechanism safely emits gas. It has the effect of being able to discharge.
- the above aspect ratio is represented by W / T by the battery width W (mm) and the battery thickness T (mm).
- the battery case 2 has a cylindrical shape with both ends open, and the battery case 2 can be manufactured easily and at low cost, and the battery case 2 of any length can be simplified. It is possible to easily produce batteries of any capacity.
- one open end is selectively broken such that the weld starts to break from the intersection of the circumferential portion and the straight portion at one open end. It is possible to position the exhaust mechanism by providing a U-shaped sealing plate 3 only at the end or setting the valve opening pressure at one open end lower than the valve opening pressure at the other open end. It becomes.
- an electrode plate group including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator is housed inside a battery case 2 having an oval cross-sectional shape, and the same oval as the opening of the battery case.
- a sealing plate 3 having a U-shaped cross section is disposed, and a welding process is applied along the boundary between the opening of battery case 2 and sealing plate 3 to seal the inside of the battery. It has been
- the inventors of the present invention have found that when the internal pressure in the battery case rises and the substantially oval battery 1 is deformed to a shape as shown in FIG. 2, the aspect ratio of the substantially oval battery 1 and the battery From the relationship of thickness T, find that the deformation forms of the battery case 2 and the sealing plate 3 are different, and by breaking the battery case 2 and the sealing plate 3, break the weld from the intersection point of the circumferential portion and the straight portion Thus, a battery is realized that enables gas to be easily discharged to the outside without requiring expensive equipment and man-hours.
- Example 1 As a welding method, a general welding method such as laser welding and spot welding can be used.
- the present invention fracture is caused using deformation of battery case 2 and sealing plate 3 starting from an intersection point 7 of circumferential portion 5 and straight portion 4 of substantially oval battery 1 shown in FIG.
- the battery case 2 and the battery case 2 are discharged according to the value of the aspect ratio (WZT) obtained from the battery thickness T (mm), the battery width W (mm) of the battery, and the battery thickness T (mm). Since the deformation mode of the sealing plate 3 is different, the following study was conducted.
- the material of the battery case 2 and the sealing plate 3 was aluminum.
- the pressure in the battery is increased by welding the sealing plate 3 to the battery case 2 in a sealed state, and batteries of various sizes can be stably used for the circumferential portion 5 and the straight portion 4. It was broken starting at intersection point 7, and it was investigated whether stable valve opening control could be achieved.
- the valve opening pressure was 3 kgf / cm 2 .
- Table 1 shows the relationship among the battery thickness T, battery width W, radius of curvature R and aspect ratio W / T of the batteries used in this example.
- Table 6 shows the results of the gas exhaust test.
- “o” indicates that the exhaust valve has been opened stably at a predetermined pressure
- “X” indicates that the exhaust valve has not been opened at the predetermined pressure.
- FIG. 4 shows respective cut portions in the straight portion 4 and the circumferential portion 5 when the sealing portion of the battery of the present invention is cut in the thickness T direction of the battery.
- the straight part 4 is cut at the cutting plane V-V
- the circumferential part 5 is cut at the cutting plane VI-VI.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B respectively show the shapes of the battery case 2 and the sealing plate 3 in the straight portion 4 before and after deformation.
- the central portion of the battery case 2 expands.
- the opening of the battery case 2 (the junction of the battery case 2 and the sealing plate 3) tends to be pulled toward the central portion of the battery case 2.
- the straight portion of the sealing plate 3 is deformed toward the inside of the battery.
- the deformation form of the circumferential portion 5 is different from that of the straight portion 4. That is, as shown in FIG. 6A showing the shape before deformation and FIG. 6B showing the shape after deformation, when the internal pressure of the battery case 2 rises, the central part of the battery case 2 expands. Next, as the center of the battery case expands, the opening of the battery case 2 tends to be pulled toward the center of the battery case.
- the circumferential part the circumferential part is inside the battery like the above-mentioned straight part.
- the deformation does not occur because the force to suppress the deformation works.
- the central portion of the battery case 2 further expands, the force of the deformation in the opposite direction becomes larger than the force of the deformation in the same direction with respect to the internal direction of the battery. The department is expanded.
- the same effect can be obtained if the force measured at a valve opening pressure of 3 kgf / cm 2 and not more than 20 kgf Zcm 2 (preferably 1 Okgf / cm 2 or less).
- the value of is suitably set according to the welding conditions (laser energy amount etc. in the case of laser welding) between the battery case and the sealing plate.
- the same test was performed on a rectangular battery 11 using a flat rectangular cylindrical battery case 12 formed in a flat rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Based on the result of the battery used in the oval cylindrical container, the thickness of the battery case 12 and the sealing plate 13 can be stably broken and the thickness of the battery is 5 (mm) and 30 (mm), and the aspect ratio is 3, 4
- the results of gas exhaust were summarized in Table 7 for batteries of 6 and 8. Note that "one" indicates that the test has not been conducted.
- the battery formed in an oval shape has a battery thickness T and an aspect ratio (W / T) at which the exhaust valve is opened at a predetermined pressure. However, it was confirmed that good effects were not obtained.
- the explosion-proof mechanism of the battery of the present invention can be provided extremely easily as compared to the explosion-proof mechanism consisting of a thin portion and a groove portion, so that an expensive precision machining device requiring little effort and labor can be provided. Since the required explosion-proof mechanism can be provided for the battery to be used, it is useful for reducing the operation cost and equipment cost of the battery.
