The present invention provides, as a means for achieving the above object, a sealed alkaline storage battery in which an opening of a metal outer casing containing a power generation element is sealed with a sealing lid also serving as a terminal plate, wherein the sealing lid includes a reversible safety valve. The peripheral edge of the terminal member and the peripheral edge of the opening of the annular holding plate are bonded and integrated with a hot-melt resin, and this sealing lid is welded to the opening of the metal outer cylinder at the outer peripheral edge of the annular holding plate. This adopts a configuration characterized by being fixed.

Further, in the present invention, a valve chamber having a valve hole penetrating into the battery and an exhaust hole penetrating to the outside is formed in the terminal member, and a spring and the urging thereof are received in the valve chamber to receive the valve. A preferred embodiment has a configuration in which a valve body that always closes the hole is loaded.

Since the sealing lid is fixed to the opening of the metal outer cylinder by welding instead of fitting through a conventional annular gasket, there is no danger of liquid leakage from this part, and the sealing lid is constituted. Since the terminal member and the ring-shaped holding plate are bonded with a heat-meltable resin, there is no gas or liquid leakage from the bonded portion at all times. However, when the internal pressure of the battery gradually rises and reaches a certain value, the reversible safety valve provided on the terminal member of the sealing lid is opened, and the internal gas is released to the outside. When the value falls below the value, the safety valve closes and the battery returns to the sealed state.

On the other hand, when the internal pressure suddenly rises due to a sudden abnormal reaction caused by an accident, misuse, or other factors, the terminal member of the sealing lid and the annular holding plate are adhered to each other by the heat generated by the abnormal reaction. The hot-melt resin softens or melts, whereby the gas inside is released from the gap between the loosened joints to the outside at once. Therefore, dangerous battery destruction such as destruction of the metal outer cylinder and protrusion of the sealing lid is prevented. The operating pressure can be arbitrarily set depending on the type of the hot-melt resin used and the bonding area.

As the above-mentioned heat-fusible resin, those having a melting point of about 80 to 120 ° C. are suitable, and if this melting point is too low, the sealing reliability of the bonded portion is reduced. It may not be possible to respond quickly. From the viewpoint of the melting point and the adhesiveness, a polyamide resin is particularly preferred as the heat-fusible resin.

The reversible safety valve may be any valve that operates reversibly so as to close the gas release flow on the low pressure side and open it on the high pressure side at a predetermined internal pressure of the battery. In particular, a terminal member is provided with a valve chamber having a valve hole that penetrates into the battery and an exhaust hole that penetrates to the outside, and a spring and a valve body that receives the bias of the spring and constantly closes the valve hole are provided in the valve chamber. According to the loaded configuration, when the internal pressure of the battery gradually rises and reaches a certain value, the valve body lifts slightly against the bias of the spring at that pressure to form a gap. Then, the gas inside is released from the exhaust hole to the outside, and if the internal pressure becomes lower than the pressing force of the spring due to this release, the valve hole is sealed again, and the reliability of the reversible operation is high, and There is the advantage that the operating pressure can be set to a constant value depending on the strength of the spring.

With respect to the sealed alkaline storage batteries A to C having the above configuration,
During charging and discharging and during non-use, the valve hole 12 is closed by the valve element 14 in a normal state where the internal pressure is low, and the valve hole 12 is kept in a sealed state without gas leakage and liquid leakage. Gradually rises and overcomes the elastic pressure of the coil spring 15, when the valve body 14 is slightly lifted,
The gas inside is discharged from the exhaust hole 13 to the outside through the gap between the valve body 14 and the valve hole 12, passing between the peripheral surface of the valve body 14 and the inner surface of the valve chamber 11. As soon as the internal pressure decreases due to this gas release, the valve element 14 cools the valve hole 12 and the inside returns to the sealed state again. This opening and closing operation of the valve element 14 is repeated every time the internal pressure reaches a constant value, unless the internal pressure rises sharply. Therefore, an increase in the internal pressure above a certain value is reliably prevented.

On the other hand, if the battery reaction suddenly progresses suddenly due to an accident, misuse, or other factors, and the internal pressure rises at once with a large amount of generated gas, the above-mentioned heat generated by the rapid battery reaction will cause The polyamide-based hot-melt resin 16 that bonds the terminal member 3 of the sealing lid 2 and the annular holding plate 4 is softened or melted, whereby the bonded portion is loosened to form a gap, from which gas is generated. It is instantaneously radiated from the exhaust hole 13 to the outside. Therefore, even in such a sudden situation, the danger that the metal outer casing 1 ruptures or the sealing lid 2 blows out is prevented beforehand.

The sealed alkaline storage battery of the present invention has an explosion-proof safety mechanism that prevents generated gas from escaping to the outside when the internal pressure is abnormally increased and prevents the battery from being destroyed. Since it has an irreversible mechanism corresponding to the rise of internal pressure, it is extremely excellent in safety, and it returns to the original sealed state after the operation of the former reversible mechanism, causing gas leakage and liquid leakage The original charge / discharge function can be exhibited without any trouble.

Moreover, in the storage battery of the present invention, the above-mentioned irreversible explosion-proof safety mechanism is constituted by a bonding portion made of a hot-melt resin between the terminal member of the sealing lid and the annular holding plate. Since the resin is softened or melted to form a gap for releasing the internal gas to the bonding portion, high operation reliability is obtained, and the sealing lid itself is formed of the metal outer cylinder at the outer peripheral edge of the annular holding plate. Since it is fixed to the opening by welding, there is an excellent feature that there is no danger of liquid leakage unlike a conventional fitting structure of a sealing lid via an annular gasket.

Further, in the present invention, a valve chamber having a valve hole penetrating the inside of the battery and an exhaust hole penetrating the outside is formed in the terminal member, and the valve hole is constantly opened by receiving a spring and its bias in the valve chamber. The reversible safety mechanism has a very simple structure if it is equipped with a valve body that closes, and its operating pressure is stable, and the sealing performance does not easily decrease over time.
