【産業上の利用分野】本発明は、電池の気密検査方法に
関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an airtightness inspection method for a battery.
【０００２】[0002]

とを溶着、あるいは接着して電池を密閉化している。2. Description of the Related Art In general, a sealed lead-acid battery includes an electrode plate group including a predetermined positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator, a battery case for accommodating the electrode plate group, and an opening of the battery case. And a lid provided with a safety valve that is activated when the internal pressure rises above a certain value. The battery case is sealed by welding or bonding the battery case and the lid.
【０００３】しかし、この密閉型電池において、とく

た。[0003] However, in this sealed type battery, if a pinhole that impairs airtightness is opened in a welded or bonded portion between the battery case and the lid, or if there is a poorly welded or poorly bonded portion, this portion is likely to be used when the battery is used. As a result, the electrolyte in the battery may leak, causing shortage of the electrolyte at an early stage, or the leaked electrolyte may corrode the terminals of the battery and surrounding parts.
【０００４】そして、このような密閉型鉛蓄電池の気密
を害するピンホール等を事前に検出するために、次に示
すような加圧式気密検査方法が一般に用いられていた。In order to detect pinholes or the like that impair the airtightness of such a sealed lead-acid battery in advance, the following pressurized airtightness inspection method has been generally used.
【０００５】すなわち、一連の電池製造工程において、

数秒から数分間静値していた。そして、所定の時間後に
電池の内部圧力値が前記所定の圧力値（初期値）に対し
てどの程度低下したかを調べ、内部圧力値が所定の範囲
内であるか否かにより電池の気密状態の良否を判定して
いた。That is, in a series of battery manufacturing steps,
After assembling the sealed lead-acid battery, the internal pressure of the battery was increased to a predetermined pressure value (initial value), and the battery was allowed to stand still for several seconds to several minutes during the manufacturing process. Then, after a predetermined time, it is checked how much the internal pressure value of the battery has decreased from the predetermined pressure value (initial value), and the airtight state of the battery is determined based on whether the internal pressure value is within a predetermined range. Was judged good or bad.
【０００６】そして、この場合には１個の電池の検査が
終了するまで他の電池は検査待ちになっていた。In this case, the inspection of one battery is completed until the inspection of another battery is completed.
【０００７】[0007]
【発明が解決しようとする課題】しかしながら、上記の
ような加圧式気密検査方法を用いた場合、次のような問
題が生じていた。However, when the above-mentioned pressurized airtightness inspection method is used, the following problems have occurred.
【０００８】すなわち、例えば大型の密閉型鉛蓄電池を
検査する場合、電池の内容積は大きく、これに対して気
密を害するピンホール等は相対的に極めて小さいので、
電池を加圧状態で数秒から数分間静置しただけでは電池
の内部圧力はほとんど変化せず、電池の気密不良を検出
しにくく、気密不良の検出精度が低いという問題があっ
た。That is, for example, when testing a large sealed lead-acid battery, the internal volume of the battery is large, and the pinholes and the like that impair airtightness are relatively small.
Even if the battery is left standing for several seconds to several minutes in a pressurized state, the internal pressure of the battery hardly changes, so that it is difficult to detect poor airtightness of the battery, and the accuracy of detecting poor airtightness is low.
【０００９】また、このような問題は、気密良否の検査

させていた。Further, such a problem can be solved by lengthening the inspection time of the airtightness. For this purpose, the pressurized state of the battery must be kept for a long time, and a series of battery manufacturing processes is required. Increasing the inspection time in the process requires suppressing the speed of the process and lengthening the manufacturing process, and as a result, lowering the working efficiency.
【００１０】本発明は、このような課題を解決するもの

提供するものである。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and when performing an airtight inspection of a battery, it is possible to accurately detect a poor airtightness of the battery without lowering the work efficiency in the battery manufacturing process. It is intended to provide an airtightness inspection method which can be performed.

検査するものである。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an airtightness inspection method according to the present invention comprises: after manufacturing a battery, closing an exhaust pipe or a liquid port of the battery with a rubber cap; After reducing the internal pressure to partially depress the cap, in another inspection step not included in the manufacturing process, the depressurized battery is allowed to stand for a long time to determine whether or not the cap is depressed. The degree of airtightness of the battery is inspected based on the degree.

工程上での作業効率が低下することはない。According to the airtightness inspection method of the present invention, after the battery is manufactured, the exhaust pipe or liquid port of the battery is closed with a rubber cap, and then the battery is depressurized until a part of the cap is dented. The battery in the reduced pressure state is taken out of the manufacturing process and transferred to an inspection process. Therefore,
By performing the airtight inspection as in the related art, the working efficiency in the battery manufacturing process does not decrease.

検査時間が短いことによる気密不良の検出精度の低さを

る。In this inspection step, since the battery in the decompressed state is allowed to stand for a sufficiently long time, the low accuracy of detection of airtightness due to the short inspection time as in the prior art is eliminated, and the accuracy is sufficiently high. Airtightness can be detected.

Thereby, in the manufacturing process, only the above-described pressure reducing operation can be continuously performed on each of the moving batteries, and the inspection of the hermeticity is performed in the inspection process, so that the work efficiency in the manufacturing process is improved. Can be prevented from decreasing.
