Description

円筒形電池Cylindrical battery
 この発明は円筒形電池に関する。 This invention relates to a cylindrical battery.
 円筒形電池の一例として、円筒形アルカリ乾電池を挙げる。図1A及び図1Bは、円筒形アルカリ乾電池1の構造を示している。図1Aは、円筒軸100の延長方向を上下(縦)方向としたときの縦断面図である。そして図1Bは、図1Aにおける円101内の拡大図である。以下に図1A、図1Bを参照しつつアルカリ乾電池1の基本的な構成や構造について説明する。 An example of a cylindrical battery is a cylindrical alkaline battery. 1A and 1B show the structure of the cylindrical alkaline battery 1. FIG. 1A is a vertical cross-sectional view when the extending direction of the cylindrical shaft 100 is the vertical (vertical) direction. FIG. 1B is an enlarged view inside the circle 101 in FIG. 1A. The basic configuration and structure of the alkaline battery 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B.
 アルカリ乾電池1は、有底筒状の金属製電池缶2、環状に成形された正極合剤3、この正極合剤3の内側に配設された有底円筒状のセパレーター4、亜鉛合金を含んでセパレーター4の内側に充填される負極ゲル5、この負極ゲル5中に挿入された金属製の負極集電子6、金属製負極端子板10、絶縁性の樹脂からなる封口ガスケット7などにより構成される。この構造において、正極合剤3、セパレーター4、負極ゲル5が、電解液の存在下でアルカリ乾電池1の発電要素を形成する。 The alkaline battery 1 includes a bottomed cylindrical metal battery can 2, a ring-shaped positive electrode mixture 3, a bottomed cylindrical separator 4 disposed inside the positive electrode mixture 3, and a zinc alloy. The negative electrode gel 5 filled inside the separator 4, a metal negative electrode current collector 6 inserted into the negative electrode gel 5, a metal negative electrode terminal plate 10, a sealing gasket 7 made of an insulating resin, and the like. The In this structure, the positive electrode mixture 3, the separator 4, and the negative electrode gel 5 form the power generation element of the alkaline dry battery 1 in the presence of the electrolytic solution.
 電池ケースである電池缶2は、正極合剤3に接触することで正極集電体として機能し、底面には外方に突出する凸状の正極端子8が形成されている。ここで電池缶2の底部側を下方として上下方向を規定すると、負極端子板10は、円板状の底部11の周縁に下方に短く垂設される扁平円筒状の側面部14が形成され、その側面部14の下端周囲には円形鍔状の周縁部13が形成されて、総じてフランジを有する扁平なカップを伏せたような形状となっている。 The battery can 2, which is a battery case, functions as a positive electrode current collector by contacting the positive electrode mixture 3, and a convex positive electrode terminal 8 protruding outward is formed on the bottom surface. Here, when the vertical direction is defined with the bottom side of the battery can 2 as the lower side, the negative electrode terminal plate 10 is formed with a flat cylindrical side surface portion 14 that is hanged downward on the periphery of the disk-shaped bottom portion 11. A circular bowl-shaped peripheral edge 13 is formed around the lower end of the side face 14, and is shaped like a flat cup having a flange as a whole.
 封口ガスケット7は、同心円状に凹凸が形成された円盤の周囲に上方に立設する壁面からなる外周部が巡るカップ状で、隔壁の中心には当該円盤の上下両面側に突出する中空円筒状のボス部が形成されている。負極ゲル5中に挿入された棒状の負極集電子6は、この封口ガスケット7のボス部に圧入状態で挿通されつつ上端が負極端子板10の底部11下面に溶接されて立設固定されている。 The sealing gasket 7 has a cup shape in which an outer peripheral portion formed of a wall surface standing upwards around a disc having concentric concavities and convexities, and has a hollow cylindrical shape projecting from the upper and lower surfaces of the disc at the center of the partition wall. The boss portion is formed. The rod-shaped negative electrode current collector 6 inserted into the negative electrode gel 5 is inserted into the boss portion of the sealing gasket 7 in a press-fitted state, and the upper end is welded to the bottom surface of the bottom portion 11 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10 and fixed upright. .
 また負極端子板10と封口ガスケット7は電池缶2の開口を封口するための構成である。電池缶2は、封口ガスケット7の上記外周部が電池缶2の開口端部の内面と負極端子板10の周縁部13の縁端との間に挟持された状態で電池缶2の外方からかしめられることで密閉される。 Further, the negative electrode terminal plate 10 and the sealing gasket 7 are configured to seal the opening of the battery can 2. In the battery can 2, the outer periphery of the sealing gasket 7 is sandwiched between the inner surface of the open end of the battery can 2 and the edge of the peripheral edge 13 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10 from the outside of the battery can 2. Sealed by caulking.
 なお図1に示したアルカリ乾電池1では、電池缶2の当初は中空円板状だった負極端子板10の周縁部13が軸100方向から外側に向かって斜め下方に屈曲しつつ、縁端では上方に鋭角的に屈曲するように変形している。また電池缶2の開口端が内方にカール加工されて内方に屈曲し、封口ガスケット7の外周部の上端も電池缶2の内面形状に沿って内方に屈曲している。 In the alkaline dry battery 1 shown in FIG. 1, the peripheral edge 13 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10, which was originally a hollow disk shape of the battery can 2, is bent obliquely downward from the direction of the axis 100 toward the outer side, It is deformed so as to be bent acutely upward. Further, the opening end of the battery can 2 is curled inward and bent inward, and the upper end of the outer peripheral portion of the sealing gasket 7 is also bent inward along the inner shape of the battery can 2.
 アルカリ乾電池1は、以上の構成と構造によって蓄電素子として機能する。しかし製品として提供されているアルカリ乾電池1では、以下の非特許文献1にも記載されているように、電池缶2の周囲に熱収縮フィルムからなる外装体9が被装されている。また単3型や単4型などの比較的小さなサイズのアルカリ乾電池1では、電池缶2のカール加工された開口縁端と負極端子板10の側面部14との間が近接しているため、正極と負極間の短絡を防止するためにリング状の絶縁体からなるワッシャー20が負極端子板10の側面部14の外周に環装されている。 The alkaline dry battery 1 functions as a power storage element with the above configuration and structure. However, in the alkaline dry battery 1 provided as a product, as described in Non-Patent Document 1 below, an outer package 9 made of a heat-shrinkable film is mounted around the battery can 2. Further, in the alkaline dry battery 1 having a relatively small size such as AA type or AAA type, the opening edge of the battery can 2 that has been curled and the side surface part 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10 are close to each other. In order to prevent a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, a washer 20 made of a ring-shaped insulator is provided around the outer periphery of the side surface portion 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10.
 図2A、図2Bにワッシャー20の構造を具体的に示した。図2Aは、当該ワッシャー20を上方から見たときの平面図であり、図2Bは図2Aにおけるa-a矢視断面図である。ワッシャー20は、両端が開口する扁平円筒状の胴部21の上端に円形鍔状のフランジ部22が一体的に設けられた形状である。そして中空の胴部21と円環状のフランジ部22の共通の内面とした中空部23が形成されている。 2A and 2B show the structure of the washer 20 in detail. 2A is a plan view when the washer 20 is viewed from above, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line aa in FIG. 2A. The washer 20 has a shape in which a circular flange-shaped flange portion 22 is integrally provided on the upper end of a flat cylindrical body portion 21 whose both ends are open. A hollow portion 23 is formed as a common inner surface of the hollow body portion 21 and the annular flange portion 22.
 そして図1Bを参照すれば、ワッシャー20は、フランジ部22を上方に向けつつ、中空部23を負極端子板10の側面部14の外周に嵌め込むことで、ワッシャー20が電池缶2に対して固定される。また、アルカリ乾電池1の外装体9を電池缶2の周囲に熱収縮させて被装する際、ワッシャー20におけるフランジ部22の上面25の周縁が当該外装体9によって下方に押さえつけられるため、ワッシャー20は、負極端子板10の側面部14との嵌め合いに加え、この外装体9によっても固定されている。 Referring to FIG. 1B, the washer 20 has the flange portion 22 facing upward and the hollow portion 23 is fitted to the outer periphery of the side surface portion 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10, so that the washer 20 is attached to the battery can 2. Fixed. Further, when the outer casing 9 of the alkaline dry battery 1 is heat-shrinked around the battery can 2 and is mounted, the peripheral edge of the upper surface 25 of the flange portion 22 of the washer 20 is pressed downward by the outer casing 9. Is fixed by the exterior body 9 in addition to the fitting with the side surface portion 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10.
 ところで、封口ガスケット7における円盤領域には、部分的に肉薄となっている薄肉部が形成されており、アルカリ乾電池1内部におけるガスの発生などにより内圧が上昇すると、その薄肉部が先行破断するようになっている。そして負極端子板10の側面部14には、電池缶2の内外を連絡するガス抜き孔12が形成されている。それによって、封口ガスケット7の薄肉部が破断した際、アルカリ乾電池1内部のガスがこのガス抜き孔12から排気され、内圧が開放されるようになっている。すなわち、封口ガスケット7の薄肉部と負極端子板10のガス抜き孔12とによって、アルカリ乾電池1の破裂を防止する防爆安全機構が構成されている。 By the way, a thin portion that is partially thin is formed in the disk region of the sealing gasket 7, and when the internal pressure rises due to the generation of gas inside the alkaline dry battery 1, the thin portion seems to break ahead. It has become. A gas vent 12 that communicates the inside and outside of the battery can 2 is formed in the side surface portion 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10. As a result, when the thin portion of the sealing gasket 7 is broken, the gas inside the alkaline battery 1 is exhausted from the vent hole 12 so that the internal pressure is released. That is, an explosion-proof safety mechanism for preventing the alkaline battery 1 from being ruptured is constituted by the thin portion of the sealing gasket 7 and the gas vent hole 12 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10.
 また、単3型や単4型などの比較的小さなサイズのアルカリ乾電池1では、容積が小さいことから少量のガスでも内圧が大きく上昇し、そのガス抜き孔12から漏出した電解液がアルカリ乾電池1の周囲に飛散する可能性がある。そのため上記のワッシャー20は、排気に伴って電解液が飛散することを防止するための機能も担っている。 Further, in the alkaline dry battery 1 having a relatively small size such as AA type or AAA type, since the volume is small, the internal pressure greatly increases even with a small amount of gas, and the electrolyte leaked from the vent hole 12 is the alkaline dry battery 1. There is a possibility of splashing around. Therefore, the washer 20 has a function for preventing the electrolytic solution from being scattered with exhaust.
 具体的には、ワッシャー20の胴部21が負極端子板10の側面部14を覆うことで、防爆安全機構が作動したときに、ガス抜き孔12からのガスや電解液が噴出する速度を減速させて、アルカリ乾電池1が組み込まれた機器が汚染されにくいようにしている。そして防爆安全機構が作動したときのガスの通常の排気経路は、図1Bに太い実線矢印110で示したように、ガス抜き孔12から負極端子板10の側面部14を覆うワッシャー20の胴部21の内面を経由して負極端子板10のアルカリ乾電池1の上方に至る。 Specifically, the body portion 21 of the washer 20 covers the side surface portion 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10 to reduce the speed at which the gas and electrolyte from the vent hole 12 are ejected when the explosion-proof safety mechanism is activated. Thus, the device in which the alkaline battery 1 is incorporated is made difficult to be contaminated. The normal exhaust path of the gas when the explosion-proof safety mechanism is activated is the body of the washer 20 that covers the side surface portion 14 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10 from the gas vent hole 12 as shown by the thick solid arrow 110 in FIG. 1B. 21 reaches the upper side of the alkaline dry battery 1 of the negative electrode terminal plate 10 via the inner surface of 21.
 なお以下の特許文献1には、ワッシャーの装着不良を防止するとともに、防爆安全機構が作動した際には、ワッシャーと負極端子板との間を通って電池内部の圧力が開放される際に電解液がスプレー状に一気に噴出しないようにしたアルカリ乾電池について記載されている。 In Patent Document 1 below, in addition to preventing a washer from being mounted poorly, when the explosion-proof safety mechanism is activated, electrolysis is performed when the pressure inside the battery is released between the washer and the negative terminal plate. It describes an alkaline battery in which the liquid is not sprayed out at once.
特開2008-282601号公報JP 2008-282601 A
 アルカリ乾電池1などの円筒形電池が備えるワッシャー20は、防爆安全機構が動作した際に、負極端子板10に設けられたガス抜き孔12から電解液が飛散するのを防止する。しかし、従来の円筒形電池では、図1A、図1Bに示したように、ワッシャー20におけるフランジ部22の上面周縁が熱収縮フィルムによる外装体9に覆われていることから、図1Bにて縦縞のハッチングで示した空間30からガスの逃げ場がない状態となっている。 The washer 20 provided in the cylindrical battery such as the alkaline battery 1 prevents the electrolyte from splashing from the vent hole 12 provided in the negative terminal plate 10 when the explosion-proof safety mechanism operates. However, in the conventional cylindrical battery, as shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the upper peripheral edge of the flange portion 22 of the washer 20 is covered with the exterior body 9 made of heat shrinkable film. There is no gas escape from the space 30 indicated by hatching.
 そして何らかの原因で電池缶2内部にてガスが爆発的に発生すると、ガスが図1Bに太い点線矢印111で示した経路で上記空間30に逃げ、このガスが一瞬にして当該空間30に充満して当該空間30内の圧力が一気に上昇する。そしてその圧力がワッシャー20のフランジ部22の下面に加わり、ワッシャー20を上方に押し上げようとする。 If the gas is explosively generated inside the battery can 2 for some reason, the gas escapes to the space 30 along the path indicated by the thick dotted arrow 111 in FIG. 1B, and the gas fills the space 30 in an instant. Thus, the pressure in the space 30 rises at a stretch. Then, the pressure is applied to the lower surface of the flange portion 22 of the washer 20, and the washer 20 is pushed upward.
 外装体9は、金属製の電池缶2とは異なり、柔らかく変形しやすいため、ワッシャー20を押し上げようとする力を抑えきれず、結果として、ワッシャー20が脱落する。場合によってはワッシャー20が勢いよく飛散する。 Unlike the metal battery can 2, the exterior body 9 is soft and easily deformed. Therefore, the force for pushing up the washer 20 cannot be suppressed, and as a result, the washer 20 falls off. In some cases, the washer 20 scatters vigorously.
 確かに、上記特許文献1に記載のアルカリ乾電池ではワッシャーの中空部の上端側の内面が多角形状になっており、その多角形の辺の位置をガス抜き孔の形成位置に合わせることで、上述した通常の排気経路からの排気についてはより円滑に排気できるようになっている。しかしながらアルカリ乾電池の組み立て工程において、ワッシャーを負極端子板の側面部に環装した後に外装体を被装するまでの間にワッシャーの位置がずれる可能性もある。 Certainly, in the alkaline dry battery described in Patent Document 1, the inner surface on the upper end side of the hollow portion of the washer has a polygonal shape, and the position of the side of the polygon is matched with the formation position of the gas vent hole, so that As for the exhaust from the normal exhaust path, the exhaust can be performed more smoothly. However, in the process of assembling the alkaline battery, there is a possibility that the position of the washer is shifted after the washer is mounted on the side surface portion of the negative electrode terminal plate and before the exterior body is mounted.
 そこで本発明は、電池缶の内圧が急激に上昇してもワッシャーの飛散を確実に防止できる円筒形電池を提供することを目的としている。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cylindrical battery that can reliably prevent the washer from scattering even when the internal pressure of the battery can rises rapidly.
 上記目的を達成するための本発明は、一方の電極の集電体を兼ねる有底円筒状の電池缶内に発電要素が収納されるとともに、当該電池缶の開口に他方の電極の端子を兼ねる端子板が絶縁性の封口ガスケットを介して嵌着されることで当該電池缶が密閉されてなる円筒形電池であって、

This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-162509 filed on Aug. 23, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 本発明は、一方の電極を兼ねた電池缶の開口に、他方の電極を兼ねる皿状の端子板が封口ガスケットを介して嵌着された構造を有するとともに、端子板の外周にガス抜き孔が形成された円筒形電池に適用することができる。以下では、本発明の一実施形態に係る円筒形電池として円筒形のアルカリ乾電池を挙げる。本実施形態に係る円筒形電池の基本的な構造は、図1に示した一般的なアルカリ乾電池1と同様である。しかし本実施形態に係る円筒形電池は、ワッシャーの構造、および内圧上昇時の排気経路が従来の円筒形電池とは異なっており、それによって電池缶の内圧が爆発的に上昇したとしても、ワッシャーの飛散を確実に防止できる高い安全性を備えている。 The present invention has a structure in which a dish-shaped terminal plate also serving as the other electrode is fitted to the opening of the battery can also serving as one electrode via a sealing gasket, and a gas vent hole is provided on the outer periphery of the terminal plate. The present invention can be applied to the formed cylindrical battery. Below, a cylindrical alkaline dry battery is mentioned as a cylindrical battery which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The basic structure of the cylindrical battery according to this embodiment is the same as that of the general alkaline battery 1 shown in FIG. However, the cylindrical battery according to the present embodiment is different from the conventional cylindrical battery in the structure of the washer and the exhaust path when the internal pressure is increased, so that even if the internal pressure of the battery can rises explosively, the washer It has a high level of safety that can reliably prevent splashing.
===ワッシャーの構造と作用===
 図3A、図3Bに、本発明の一実施形態に係る円筒形電池1a(以下、アルカリ乾電池1a)に装着されているワッシャー20aの概略構造を示した。図3Aは、当該ワッシャー20aを上方から見たときの平面図であり、図3Bは図3Aにおけるb-b矢視断面図である。ワッシャー20aは、ポリプロピレンなどの絶縁性樹脂からなる成型品であり、環状の胴部21の上端に円形鍔状のフランジ部22が当該胴部21と同軸となるように一体的に形成されており、中空部23が胴部21とフランジ部22を上下方向に貫通している。
=== Washer structure and action ===
3A and 3B show a schematic structure of a washer 20a attached to a cylindrical battery 1a (hereinafter, alkaline dry battery 1a) according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3A is a plan view of the washer 20a when viewed from above, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line bb in FIG. 3A. The washer 20 a is a molded product made of an insulating resin such as polypropylene, and is formed integrally with a circular flange-shaped flange portion 22 at the upper end of the annular barrel portion 21 so as to be coaxial with the barrel portion 21. The hollow portion 23 penetrates the body portion 21 and the flange portion 22 in the vertical direction.
 そして、ここまでのワッシャー20aの構造は、図2A、図2Bに示したワッシャー20と同様である。しかし実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aが備えるワッシャー20aには、フランジ部22に上下両面(25-26)を連絡する孔24aが当該フランジ部22の円周方向に沿って複数箇所に形成されている。この例では放射状に矩形の孔24aが等角度間隔で12カ所に形成されている。また矩形の孔24aは放射方向を長辺としている。なお、これらの孔24aはワッシャー20aと同時に一体成形されたものであってもよいし、フランジ部22に孔24aがないワッシャーを作製した後、フランジ部22に孔24aを抜き型などによって形成してもよい。 The structure of the washer 20a so far is the same as that of the washer 20 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. However, in the washer 20a included in the alkaline battery 1a according to the embodiment, holes 24a that connect the upper and lower surfaces (25-26) to the flange portion 22 are formed at a plurality of locations along the circumferential direction of the flange portion 22. . In this example, radially rectangular holes 24a are formed at 12 equiangular intervals. The rectangular hole 24a has a long side in the radial direction. These holes 24a may be integrally formed at the same time as the washer 20a, or after a washer having no holes 24a in the flange portion 22 is formed, the holes 24a are formed in the flange portion 22 by a die or the like. May be.
 つぎに実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aにおけるワッシャー20aの装着状態とワッシャー20aの機能について説明する。図4に実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aにおけるワッシャー20aの装着状態を示した。なお図4は、図1Aに示した円101内に対応する領域を拡大した図である。 Next, the mounting state of the washer 20a and the function of the washer 20a in the alkaline battery 1a according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 shows a mounting state of the washer 20a in the alkaline battery 1a according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a region corresponding to the circle 101 shown in FIG. 1A.
 アルカリ乾電池1aの防爆安全機構が作動すると、図4中にて太線の矢印112で示したように、電池缶2内で発生したガスは、ガス抜き孔12から胴部21の外方に案内されつつフランジ部22の下面26に至る経路を辿る。フランジ部22には上下両面(25-26)を連絡する孔24aが形成されているため、ガスはこの孔24aからアルカリ乾電池1aの外方に排気される。そしてフランジ部22の孔24a(以下、排気孔24aとも言う)は、当該フランジ部22の円周方向に沿って複数箇所に形成されているため、確実に複数系統の排気経路が確保される。それによって一つの排気孔24aがアルカリ乾電池1aの内容物によって閉塞されたとしても、他の排気孔24aを介してガスがアルカリ乾電池1aの外方に排気される。 When the explosion-proof safety mechanism of the alkaline battery 1a is activated, the gas generated in the battery can 2 is guided to the outside of the body portion 21 through the vent hole 12 as shown by the thick arrow 112 in FIG. While following the path to the lower surface 26 of the flange portion 22. Since the flange portion 22 is formed with holes 24a that connect the upper and lower surfaces (25-26), the gas is exhausted from the holes 24a to the outside of the alkaline battery 1a. And since the hole 24a (henceforth the exhaust hole 24a) of the flange part 22 is formed in multiple places along the circumferential direction of the said flange part 22, the exhaust path of several systems is ensured reliably. As a result, even if one exhaust hole 24a is blocked by the contents of the alkaline battery 1a, the gas is exhausted to the outside of the alkaline battery 1a through the other exhaust hole 24a.
 また外装体9が排気孔24aの上面を塞いでいたとしても、フランジ部22の下面26にまで案内されたガスは優先的に排気孔24aを介して外方に向かう。そのため、外装体9における排気孔24aの直上にある領域が上方にめくれ、排気経路が形成される。しかも排気孔24aから排気されたガスは、その直上の外装体9の内面に当たってフランジ部22を下方に押さえつける方向に流れるため、フランジ部22が飛散する可能性をさらに低いものとする。 Even if the exterior body 9 blocks the upper surface of the exhaust hole 24a, the gas guided to the lower surface 26 of the flange portion 22 preferentially travels outward through the exhaust hole 24a. Therefore, a region of the exterior body 9 immediately above the exhaust hole 24a is turned upward to form an exhaust path. In addition, since the gas exhausted from the exhaust hole 24a hits the inner surface of the exterior body 9 immediately above it and flows in a direction to press the flange portion 22 downward, the possibility that the flange portion 22 is scattered is further reduced.
===排気性能====
 上述したように、本実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aでは、ワッシャー20aのフランジ部22に上下両面(25-26)を連絡する排気孔24aが形成されて、アルカリ乾電池1aの防爆安全機構が作動した際には負極端子板10に形成されたガス抜き孔12と当該排気孔24aを介して確実にアルカリ乾電池1a内の圧力を開放することができる。
=== Exhaust performance ====
As described above, in the alkaline dry battery 1a according to the present embodiment, the exhaust hole 24a connecting the upper and lower surfaces (25-26) is formed in the flange portion 22 of the washer 20a, and the explosion-proof safety mechanism of the alkaline dry battery 1a is activated. In this case, the pressure in the alkaline battery 1a can be surely released through the gas vent hole 12 formed in the negative terminal plate 10 and the exhaust hole 24a.
 そこで実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aの排気性能を確認するために、排気孔24aの形成条件が異なる各種ワッシャー20aを作製した。ここで作製したワッシャー20aは、市販のLR6型のアルカリ乾電池1(例えば、上記非特許文献1に記載のアルカリ乾電池)に用いられているワッシャー20のフランジ部22に、図3Aに示したような放射方向を長さ方向、放射方向と直交する方向を幅方向とした矩形の排気孔24aを形成したものであるが、矩形の長さ及び幅のサイズ、および開口数が複数種類ある(表1参照)。 Therefore, in order to confirm the exhaust performance of the alkaline dry battery 1a according to the embodiment, various washers 20a having different formation conditions of the exhaust holes 24a were produced. The washer 20a produced here is as shown in FIG. 3A on the flange portion 22 of the washer 20 used in the commercially available LR6 type alkaline dry battery 1 (for example, the alkaline dry battery described in Non-Patent Document 1). A rectangular exhaust hole 24a having a radial direction as a length direction and a direction perpendicular to the radial direction as a width direction is formed. There are a plurality of types of rectangular length and width, and numerical apertures (Table 1). reference).
 そして、ワッシャー20が用いられているアルカリ乾電池1をサンプル1として作成し、ワッシャー20aが用いられているアルカリ乾電池1aをサンプル2~20として作製した。サンプル2~20は、ワッシャー20aに形成されている排気孔24aの長辺と短辺の長さ、および排気孔の数が異なる。また各サンプルを20個ずつ用意した。 Then, the alkaline battery 1 using the washer 20 was prepared as sample 1, and the alkaline battery 1a using the washer 20a was prepared as samples 2 to 20. Samples 2 to 20 differ in the length of the long side and the short side of the exhaust hole 24a formed in the washer 20a and the number of exhaust holes. In addition, 20 samples were prepared.
 そして各サンプルの全個体に対して充電試験を行い、強制的に電池缶内にガスを発生させて防爆安全機構を作動させ、サンプルごとにワッシャー20、20aが脱落した個体数を数えた。充電試験は、1個のサンプルと3個の市販のLR6型アルカリ乾電池からなる合計4個のアルカリ乾電池を用い、サンプルのアルカリ乾電池1、1aのみ、正負の端子の向きを逆にした状態でその4本のアルカリ乾電池を直列に接続する、所謂「4直1逆」の方式でサンプルを充電状態にすることで行った。 Then, a charge test was performed on all individuals of each sample, and the explosion-proof safety mechanism was operated by forcibly generating gas in the battery can, and the number of individuals in which the washers 20 and 20a were dropped was counted for each sample. The charge test was performed using a total of four alkaline batteries consisting of one sample and three commercially available LR6 type alkaline batteries, with only the sample alkaline batteries 1, 1a in the direction of the positive and negative terminals reversed. This was performed by charging the sample in a so-called “four to one reverse” system in which four alkaline batteries were connected in series.
 以下の表1に各サンプルに対する充電試験の結果を示した。 Table 1 below shows the results of the charge test for each sample.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 表1において、幅Aは矩形の上述した排気孔24aの幅方向(放射方向と直交する方向)の辺の長さであり、長さBは上述した長さ方向(放射方向)の辺の長さである。そして開口数nは排気孔24aの数であり、各サンプル2~20では、各排気孔24aが等角度間隔でフランジ部22の円周に沿って形成されている。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
In Table 1, width A is the length of the side in the width direction (direction perpendicular to the radial direction) of the above-described rectangular exhaust hole 24a, and length B is the length of the side in the length direction (radial direction) described above. That's it. The numerical aperture n is the number of the exhaust holes 24a. In each of the samples 2 to 20, the exhaust holes 24a are formed along the circumference of the flange portion 22 at equal angular intervals.
 総面積Sは一つの個体に形成されている排気孔24aの開口面積の合計でありS=A×B×nの式から求められる。不良発生数mは、各サンプル1~20について用意した20個の個体のうち、ワッシャー20、20aが脱落あるいは飛散した個数である。そしてここでは、ワッシャー20を用いたサンプル1と、ワッシャー20aにおける排気孔24aの開口寸法(A、B)と数nが異なるサンプル2~20を用意した。なおサンプル1は製品として提供されているLR6型のアルカリ乾電池であり、フランジ部22に排気孔24aがないワッシャー20を用いたものである。 The total area S is the total opening area of the exhaust holes 24a formed in one individual, and is obtained from the formula S = A × B × n. The defect occurrence number m is the number of the washers 20 and 20a dropped or scattered among the 20 individuals prepared for the samples 1 to 20. Here, Sample 1 using the washer 20 and Samples 2 to 20 in which the opening dimension (A, B) of the exhaust hole 24a in the washer 20a is different from the number n are prepared. Sample 1 is an LR6 type alkaline dry battery provided as a product, and uses a washer 20 having no exhaust hole 24a in the flange 22.
 表1に示したように、サンプル2は幅A=0.1mm、長さB=1.0mmのきわめて細くて開口面積が小さな排気孔24aが形成されたワッシャー20aが装着されており、総面積Sもわずか1.0mmである。それでもアルカリ乾電池1であるサンプル1に対してワッシャー20aが脱落しなかった個体が存在することから、ガス抜き孔12からフランジ部22の下面26にいたる上記の通気経路112と複数の排気孔24aをフランジ部22に備えたワッシャー20aとによって、ワッシャー20aの飛散防止効果が得られることが確認できた。しかも作製したサンプル2のワッシャー20aは、排気孔24aが形成されている以外は、アルカリ乾電池1のワッシャー20と同じであり、上記の通気経路112を意識して設けているわけではない。それにもかかわらず、ワッシャー20aの飛散防止効果を確認することができた。そしてサンプル2~20の内、総面積Sが4.0mm以上のサンプル12~20では、不良発生数mは全個体数の半数以下となり、総面積Sが6.0mm以上のサンプル16~20では、完全にワッシャー20aの飛散を防止することができた。 As shown in Table 1, the sample 2 is provided with a washer 20a having a very small exhaust hole 24a having a width A = 0.1 mm and a length B = 1.0 mm and having a small opening area. S is also only 1.0 mm 2 . Nevertheless, since there is an individual in which the washer 20a has not fallen off with respect to the sample 1 which is the alkaline battery 1, the air passage 112 and the plurality of exhaust holes 24a from the vent hole 12 to the lower surface 26 of the flange portion 22 are provided. It was confirmed that the washer 20a was able to prevent scattering by the washer 20a provided in the flange portion 22. In addition, the washer 20a of the produced sample 2 is the same as the washer 20 of the alkaline dry battery 1 except that the exhaust hole 24a is formed, and is not conscious of the ventilation path 112 described above. Nevertheless, the scattering prevention effect of the washer 20a could be confirmed. Among samples 2 to 20, in samples 12 to 20 having a total area S of 4.0 mm 2 or more, the number of defects m is less than half of the total number of individuals, and samples 16 to 20 having a total area S of 6.0 mm 2 or more. No. 20 was able to completely prevent the washer 20a from scattering.
 なおワッシャー20aは小さな部品であり、排気孔24aが形成されるフランジ部22の面積は限られている。そのため一つの排気孔24aについての開口面積の最大値は自ずと決定する。また排気孔24aの最大数も限られる。 The washer 20a is a small part, and the area of the flange portion 22 where the exhaust hole 24a is formed is limited. Therefore, the maximum value of the opening area for one exhaust hole 24a is naturally determined. Further, the maximum number of exhaust holes 24a is limited.
 排気孔24aを過多に形成すればフランジ部22の強度が低下する可能性がある。あるいは一体成形や抜き型で排気孔24aを形成する際にフランジ部22が変形したり破損したりする可能性もある。したがって排気孔24aの数や一つの排気孔24aについての開口面積については、ワッシャー20aに求められる強度、あるいは製造コストやワッシャー20aの製造容易性などを考慮して適宜に設定すればよい。 If the exhaust holes 24a are excessively formed, the strength of the flange portion 22 may be reduced. Alternatively, the flange portion 22 may be deformed or damaged when the exhaust hole 24a is formed by integral molding or punching. Therefore, the number of exhaust holes 24a and the opening area of one exhaust hole 24a may be set as appropriate in consideration of the strength required for the washer 20a, the manufacturing cost, the ease of manufacturing of the washer 20a, and the like.
 本発明の実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aは、ワッシャー20aのフランジ部22に複数の排気孔24aが形成されていることに特徴を有している。 The alkaline dry battery 1a according to the embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of exhaust holes 24a are formed in the flange portion 22 of the washer 20a.
===排気孔の開口領域について===
 ところでアルカリ乾電池1aなどの円筒形電池は、各種電子機器の電池ボックスなどに装填される際、凸状の正極端子8と接触する平坦な金属板からなる電極端子と、平坦な負極端子板10と接触するコイル状の電極端子(以下、電極端子バネとも言う)との間に狭持されることが多い。
=== Regarding the Opening Area of the Exhaust Hole ===
By the way, when the cylindrical battery such as the alkaline battery 1a is loaded into a battery box or the like of various electronic devices, an electrode terminal made of a flat metal plate that comes into contact with the convex positive electrode terminal 8, a flat negative electrode terminal plate 10, and the like. It is often sandwiched between coiled electrode terminals (hereinafter also referred to as electrode terminal springs) in contact.
 そして実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aでは、フランジ部22に排気孔24aが形成されたワッシャー20aが負極端子板10側に装着されている。そのためアルカリ乾電池1aを電池ボックスに装填した際、電極端子バネを構成する線材の先端が排気孔24aに入り込む可能性がある。 In the alkaline dry battery 1a according to the embodiment, a washer 20a having an exhaust hole 24a formed in the flange portion 22 is mounted on the negative electrode terminal plate 10 side. Therefore, when the alkaline battery 1a is loaded into the battery box, the tip of the wire constituting the electrode terminal spring may enter the exhaust hole 24a.
 線材の先端が排気孔24aに入り込めば電子機器からアルカリ乾電池1aが取り出せなくなったり、ワッシャー20aが外れたりする可能性がある。あるいは線材が排気孔24aに引っ掛かった状態でアルカリ乾電池1aを無理に取り出そうとして電子機器側の電極端子バネを破損させる可能性もある。そこで、排気孔24aの開口領域をこの線材が入り込まないような形状に設定すればより好ましい。 If the tip of the wire enters the exhaust hole 24a, there is a possibility that the alkaline dry battery 1a cannot be taken out from the electronic device or the washer 20a is detached. Alternatively, there is a possibility that the electrode terminal spring on the electronic device side may be damaged when the alkaline dry battery 1a is forcibly taken out while the wire is caught in the exhaust hole 24a. Therefore, it is more preferable to set the opening area of the exhaust hole 24a to a shape that does not allow this wire to enter.
 具体的には、電極端子バネの多くは、周知のごとく、直径が0.5mmの線材で構成されていることから、排気孔24aが直径0.5mmの円を包含しない平面形状となるように形成されていれば、電極端子バネの線材が排気孔24aに入り込まないようにすることができる。図5に電極端子バネの線材と排気孔24aの平面形状の関係の一例を示した。この図5に示したように、排気孔24aの形状が矩形である場合、直径Φ=0.5mmの円40を包含しない矩形は短辺24sの幅Aが0.5mm未満であればよい。 Specifically, as is well known, since many electrode terminal springs are made of a wire having a diameter of 0.5 mm, the exhaust hole 24a has a planar shape that does not include a circle having a diameter of 0.5 mm. If formed, it is possible to prevent the wire of the electrode terminal spring from entering the exhaust hole 24a. FIG. 5 shows an example of the relationship between the wire of the electrode terminal spring and the planar shape of the exhaust hole 24a. As shown in FIG. 5, when the shape of the exhaust hole 24a is a rectangle, a rectangle that does not include the circle 40 having a diameter Φ = 0.5 mm may have a width A of the short side 24s of less than 0.5 mm.
===その他の実施例===
 上記実施形態に係るアルカリ乾電池1aでは、ワッシャー20aのフランジ部22に矩形平面形状を有する排気孔24aが形成されていたが、個々の排気孔24aの平面形状は矩形に限定されない。
=== Other Embodiments ===
In the alkaline battery 1a according to the above embodiment, the exhaust hole 24a having a rectangular planar shape is formed in the flange portion 22 of the washer 20a. However, the planar shape of each exhaust hole 24a is not limited to a rectangular shape.
 図6A、図6B、図6Cに平面形状が矩形以外の排気孔24b、24c、24dを備えたワッシャー20b、20c、20dの例を示した。図6Aはワッシャー20bを上方から見たときの平面図であり、図6Bはワッシャー20cを上方から見たときの平面図であり、図6Cはワッシャー20dを上方から見たときの平面図である。 FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, and FIG. 6C show examples of washers 20b, 20c, and 20d having exhaust holes 24b, 24c, and 24d whose planar shapes are not rectangular. 6A is a plan view when the washer 20b is viewed from above, FIG. 6B is a plan view when the washer 20c is viewed from above, and FIG. 6C is a plan view when the washer 20d is viewed from above. .
 図6Aに示したワッシャー20bでは、円筒軸100側を底辺として放射外方向に頂点を有する三角形の排気孔24bが形成されている。図6Bに示したワッシャー20cでは、放射方向に長軸を有する楕円形の排気孔24cが形成されている。図6Cに示したワッシャー20dでは、フランジ部22の円周に沿う所定幅の円弧状の排気孔24dが形成されている。 In the washer 20b shown in FIG. 6A, a triangular exhaust hole 24b having an apex in the radial outward direction with the cylindrical shaft 100 side as a base is formed. In the washer 20c shown in FIG. 6B, an elliptical exhaust hole 24c having a long axis in the radial direction is formed. In the washer 20d shown in FIG. 6C, an arc-shaped exhaust hole 24d having a predetermined width along the circumference of the flange portion 22 is formed.
 なお図6A、図6B、図6Cに示した各ワッシャー20b,20c,20dの排気孔24b,24c,24dを含め、平面形状が矩形以外の排気孔を備えたワッシャーでは、その排気孔の平面形状が直径Φ=0.5mmの円40を包含しない形状であればより好ましい。 6A, 6B, and 6C, including the exhaust holes 24b, 24c, and 24d of the washers 20b, 20c, and 20d, the washer having an exhaust hole with a non-rectangular planar shape has a planar shape of the exhaust hole. Is more preferable if it does not include the circle 40 having a diameter Φ = 0.5 mm.
