Description

本発明は、角形電槽内に極板群と電解液を収容して密閉し、その角形電槽の長手方向両端部に極端子を突設した密閉角形蓄電池に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a sealed prismatic storage battery in which an electrode plate group and an electrolytic solution are accommodated in a rectangular battery case and hermetically sealed, and electrode terminals are protruded from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular battery case.

近年、電気自動車用電源等としてエネルギー密度の点で優れたニッケル水素電池などのアルカリ蓄電池が利用されるようになっており、さらにコンパクトでありながら大出力が得られるように、角形電槽内にその長側面と平行な正極板と負極板をセパレータを介して積層した極板群を収容して密閉した密閉角形蓄電池が、例えば特開平7−161377号公報等で提案されている。   In recent years, alkaline storage batteries such as nickel metal hydride batteries, which are excellent in terms of energy density, have been used as power sources for electric vehicles, etc., and in a rectangular battery case so as to obtain a large output while being compact. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-161377 proposes a sealed prismatic storage battery that encloses and seals an electrode plate group in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate parallel to the long side surface are stacked via a separator.

この種の密閉角形蓄電池41では、図7に示すように、電槽42の上面開口を密閉する蓋体43上に、極板群の多数の正極板と負極板にそれぞれリードを介して接続された正極と負極の極端子44、45が突設されている。46は電槽42内が一定以上の圧力になると内部のガスを放出する安全弁である。   In this type of sealed prismatic storage battery 41, as shown in FIG. 7, it is connected to a large number of positive and negative electrode plates of the electrode plate group via leads on a lid 43 that seals the upper surface opening of the battery case 42, respectively. Positive and negative electrode terminals 44 and 45 are projected. 46 is a safety valve which discharges | emits an internal gas, when the inside of the battery case 42 becomes a pressure more than fixed.

使用に当たっては、このような密閉角形蓄電池(単位電池)41をその長側面を重ねるようにして1又は複数の列状に並列配置し、隣接する単位電池41の正極と負極の極端子44、45を順次接続することによって直列接続し、所定の出力電圧を得ている。しかし、このように多数の単位電池41をその上面上で接続すると、接続構成が複雑となってコスト高になるという問題がある。   In use, such a sealed prismatic storage battery (unit battery) 41 is arranged in parallel in one or a plurality of rows so that the long side faces are overlapped, and the positive and negative electrode terminals 44 and 45 of adjacent unit batteries 41 are arranged. Are connected in series to obtain a predetermined output voltage. However, when a large number of unit batteries 41 are connected on the upper surface in this way, there is a problem that the connection configuration becomes complicated and the cost is increased.

そこで、図8に示すように、扁平な直方体状の電槽52内にその長手方向に沿って複数の単電池を内蔵させて内部で直列接続した密閉角形蓄電池51を構成し、その長手方向の両端壁53に極端子54を突設したものが考えられている。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, a sealed rectangular storage battery 51 in which a plurality of single cells are built in a flat rectangular parallelepiped battery case 52 along the longitudinal direction and connected in series inside is formed. The thing which protruded the pole terminal 54 in the both-ends wall 53 is considered.

このような構成の密閉角形蓄電池51によれば、同じ出力電圧を得るのに密閉角形蓄電池51の外部での極端子54の接続数を大幅に少なくできてコスト低下を図ることができるとともにコンパクトに構成できる。
特開平7−161377号公報
According to the sealed rectangular storage battery 51 having such a configuration, the number of connections of the electrode terminals 54 outside the sealed rectangular storage battery 51 can be significantly reduced to obtain the same output voltage. Can be configured.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-161377

ところが、図8に示したような密閉角形蓄電池51の構成では、これを車載した電気自動車が衝突した場合などに、密閉角形蓄電池51に側方から障害物が当たって極端子54に直接衝撃が負荷されるような事態が発生する恐れがあり、その場合に極端子54が大きく移動して短絡を発生する原因になるという問題があった。   However, in the configuration of the sealed prismatic storage battery 51 as shown in FIG. 8, when an electric vehicle on which the vehicle is mounted collides, an obstacle hits the sealed prismatic storage battery 51 from the side and a direct impact is applied to the pole terminal 54. There is a possibility that a situation of being loaded may occur, and in this case, there is a problem that the electrode terminal 54 moves greatly and causes a short circuit.

また、このような密閉角形蓄電池51の電槽52は、図9(a)、(b)に示すように、その底面の中心位置の1点ゲート55又は長手方向の中心線に対してその両側に対称に設けた2点ゲート56でインジェクション成型して製造されるが、その場合、図10に示すように、電槽52の両端壁53に極端子54を装着するために設けられる端子穴57の部分で樹脂が左右両側に分かれて流れた後、端子穴57の上部の中心線上で接触することになり、そのため端子穴57の上部に中心線に沿ってウェルドライン58が発生することになる。   Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the battery case 52 of such a sealed prismatic storage battery 51 has a single-point gate 55 at the center of the bottom surface or both sides of the center line in the longitudinal direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, a terminal hole 57 provided for attaching the electrode terminal 54 to the both end walls 53 of the battery case 52 is produced. In this portion, the resin flows separately on the left and right sides, and then contacts on the center line at the top of the terminal hole 57. Therefore, a weld line 58 is generated at the top of the terminal hole 57 along the center line. .

このウェルドライン58では樹脂の一体性が小さく、強度的に弱い部分となっているにもかかわらず、端子穴57上部の中心線位置は最も断面積が小さい部分で応力が集中する部分であり、ウェルドライン58に高応力部が重なり、電槽52の内圧が高くなったり、極端子54に外力や振動が負荷された場合にクラックが発生し易く、極端子54の取付強度を十分に確保することができないという問題があった。   In this weld line 58, although the resin integrity is small and the portion is weak in strength, the center line position above the terminal hole 57 is the portion where the cross-sectional area is the smallest and the stress is concentrated. When the stress line overlaps the weld line 58 and the internal pressure of the battery case 52 becomes high, or when an external force or vibration is applied to the electrode terminal 54, cracks are likely to occur, and the mounting strength of the electrode terminal 54 is sufficiently secured. There was a problem that I could not.

また、複数の密閉角形蓄電池51をその長側面を重ねるように並列配置し、その両端に配置した端板間で拘束した使用状態では、各密閉角形蓄電池51の長側面は拘束されているが、両端壁53は拘束されていないため、電池内圧が上昇すると膨張変形し、極端子54の接続部に悪影響を与える恐れがあるという問題があった。   In addition, in a use state in which a plurality of sealed rectangular storage batteries 51 are arranged in parallel so that their long side surfaces overlap and are constrained between end plates arranged at both ends, the long side surfaces of each sealed rectangular storage battery 51 are constrained. Since both end walls 53 are not constrained, there is a problem that when the battery internal pressure rises, it expands and deforms and may adversely affect the connection portion of the electrode terminal 54.

また、この種の密閉角形蓄電池51にあっては、その極端子54に密閉角形蓄電池51間を接続するバスバー又は外部配線を接続する際にナットにてこれらを挟持するようにしているが、そのため接続時に極端子54に大きな回転トルクが作用し、適当な極端子54の回り止め手段が必要となるが、従来の回り止め手段としては極端子54から回り止め部をできるだけ長く延出し、その先端部を電槽52の一部に係合させたものが一般的であるが、回転トルクを回り止め部の先端と電槽との点的な係合によって受けるために過大な応力が作用して回り止め部の先端が容易に破損し、また作用荷重を小さくしようとすると回り止め部が大型化するという問題があった。   Further, in this type of sealed rectangular storage battery 51, when connecting a bus bar or external wiring connecting the sealed rectangular storage battery 51 to the pole terminal 54, these are clamped by nuts. A large rotational torque acts on the pole terminal 54 at the time of connection, and an appropriate detent means for the polar terminal 54 is required. However, as a conventional detent means, a detent portion is extended from the pole terminal 54 as long as possible, and the tip thereof In general, the part is engaged with a part of the battery case 52, but excessive stress is applied to receive rotational torque by the point engagement between the tip of the non-rotating part and the battery case. There is a problem that the tip of the non-rotating portion is easily broken, and that the anti-rotating portion is enlarged when an action load is reduced.

本発明は、上記従来の問題点に鑑み、側方から障害物が当たっても極端子に衝撃が負荷され難く、また極端子に外力が作用したり、電池内圧が高くなった場合でも適切な接続状態を確保でき、また極端子の回り止めをコンパクトな構成で確保することができ、極端子部に対する負荷に対して信頼性の高い密閉角形蓄電池を提供することを目的としている。   In view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention is suitable even when an impact is difficult to be applied to the pole terminal even when an obstacle hits from the side, and even when an external force acts on the pole terminal or the battery internal pressure increases. An object of the present invention is to provide a sealed prismatic storage battery that can secure a connected state and can prevent rotation of a pole terminal with a compact configuration and has high reliability against a load on the pole terminal portion.

発明の密閉角形蓄電池は、角形電槽の長手方向両端の端面壁に端子穴を形成し、この端子穴に極端子を装着した密閉角形蓄電池において、電槽の端面壁の端子穴の近傍部分の肉厚、端子穴の両側部で互いに異なり、かつ、端子穴の上部で両側の樹脂の流れが接触して形成されるウェルドラインは、端子穴の中心線位置より外れた位置で斜め上方に形成されているため、電槽のインジェクション成型時に端子穴の部分で樹脂が左右両側に分かれて流れる際に肉厚の厚い方が薄い方よりも樹脂流れが良くなり、そのため端子穴の上部で両側の樹脂の流れが接触して形成されるウェルドラインは、最も断面積が小さく、応力が集中する端子穴の中心線位置より外れた位置で斜め上方に形成されることになり、したがってウェルドラインと高応力部が重ならず、電槽の内圧が高くなったり、極端子に外力や振動が負荷された場合にもクラックは発生し難く、極端子の取付強度を十分に確保できる The sealed prismatic storage battery of the present invention is a sealed prismatic storage battery in which terminal holes are formed in the end face walls at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular battery case, and a terminal is attached to the terminal hole. the thickness of, unlike each other at both sides of the terminal hole, and weld line at the top of the pin holes on both sides of the resin flow are formed in contact, obliquely at a position deviated from the center line position of the pin hole Because it is formed at the top, when the resin is divided into the left and right sides at the terminal hole when the battery case is molded, the thicker one has better resin flow than the thinner one. The weld line formed by contact of the resin flow on both sides is formed at a position obliquely upward at a position deviating from the center line position of the terminal hole where the cross-sectional area is the smallest and stress is concentrated. Line and high stress Do not overlap, or the internal pressure becomes higher in the container, cracks even when an external force or vibration is loaded on the terminal is unlikely to occur, it is possible to secure sufficiently the mounting strength of the terminal.

発明の密閉角形蓄電池によれば、電槽の端面壁の端子穴の近傍部分の肉厚を、端子穴の両側部で互いに異ならせ、かつ、端子孔の上部に形成されるウェルドラインが、最も断面積が小さく、応力が集中する端子孔の中心線位置より外れた位置で斜め上方に形成されているので、ウェルドラインと高応力部が重ならず、電槽の内圧が高くなったり、極端子に外力や振動が負荷された場合にもクラックは発生し難く、極端子の取付強度を確保できる According to the sealed prismatic storage battery of the present invention, the thickness of the vicinity of the terminal hole on the end wall of the battery case is different from each other on both sides of the terminal hole , and the weld line formed on the upper part of the terminal hole includes: Since the cross-sectional area is the smallest and is formed diagonally upward at a position deviating from the center line position of the terminal hole where stress is concentrated , the weld line and the high stress part do not overlap, the internal pressure of the battery case increases, Even when an external force or vibration is applied to the pole terminal, cracks hardly occur and the mounting strength of the pole terminal can be secured .

And the insertion property at the time of fitting engagement improves, and the sticking defect of the pole terminal 12 can be prevented. The size of the fitting taper α is preferably 5 to 20 °.

また、極端子12の環状溝40aの内周壁に、図5(d)に示すように逆テーパβを設けると、極端子12の接続突部24の外周にOリングを装着し、端面壁8に固着する工程に至るまでにOリングが脱落したり、浮き出したりするのを防止することができる。逆テーパβの大きさは0〜10°が好ましい。   Further, when a reverse taper β is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the annular groove 40a of the electrode terminal 12 as shown in FIG. 5 (d), an O-ring is attached to the outer periphery of the connection projection 24 of the electrode terminal 12, and the end wall 8 It is possible to prevent the O-ring from dropping off or rising up to the step of fixing to the surface. The size of the reverse taper β is preferably 0 to 10 °.

以上の密閉角形蓄電池1は、その長側面17を重ね合わせた状態で複数並列配置されるとともにその配列方向の両端に端板が配置され、これら端板が拘束バンドにて連結されてパック化され、この電池パックが、図1(b)に一部を示すように、設置台31上に設置される。電池パックは、設置台31に設置された状態で密閉角形蓄電池1の下端部に突設された突出部26上面の傾斜面27を押圧片32にて押圧することによって固定されるとともに、その上部がカバー33にて覆われる。これら押圧片32とカバー33は締結ボルト34にて設置台31に共締めして締結固定される。なお、設置台31には電池パックの下面にその全面にわたって冷却風を分配する冷却風導入空間35が形成され、カバー33と電池パックの上部外面との間に冷却風排出空間36が形成されており、並列配置された各密閉角形蓄電池1、1間に冷却風を通して各単電池7を効果的に冷却するように構成されている。   The above-described sealed prismatic battery 1 is arranged in parallel with a plurality of the long side surfaces 17 overlapped, end plates are arranged at both ends in the arrangement direction, and these end plates are connected by a restraining band to be packed. The battery pack is installed on the installation table 31 as shown in part in FIG. The battery pack is fixed by pressing the inclined surface 27 on the upper surface of the protruding portion 26 protruding from the lower end portion of the sealed prismatic storage battery 1 with the pressing piece 32 in the state where the battery pack is installed on the installation base 31, and the upper portion thereof. Is covered with a cover 33. The pressing piece 32 and the cover 33 are fastened and fastened together with the installation base 31 by fastening bolts 34. The installation base 31 is formed with a cooling air introduction space 35 for distributing cooling air over the entire lower surface of the battery pack, and a cooling air discharge space 36 is formed between the cover 33 and the upper outer surface of the battery pack. In addition, each single cell 7 is effectively cooled by passing cooling air between the sealed rectangular storage batteries 1 and 1 arranged in parallel.

以上の構成の角形密閉式電池1においては、一体電槽2の端面壁8から突出する突出部26を設けているので、この密閉角形蓄電池1を設置した状態で側方から障害物が当たった場合でも、その障害物は極端子12に当たる前に突出部26に当たり、この突出部26にて衝撃エネルギーが吸収されるので、極端子12に直接大きな衝撃が負荷されず、極端子12の移動によって短絡が発生するのを防止できる。   In the rectangular sealed battery 1 having the above configuration, since the protruding portion 26 protruding from the end wall 8 of the integrated battery case 2 is provided, an obstacle hits from the side with the sealed rectangular battery 1 installed. Even in this case, the obstacle hits the protruding portion 26 before hitting the pole terminal 12, and the impact energy is absorbed by the protruding portion 26. A short circuit can be prevented from occurring.

さらに、一体電槽2の端面壁8から突出する突出部26を設けているので、図1に示すように、設置台31上に突出部26が載置されてシールされるため、冷却風導入空間35が一体電槽2の端部まで形成され、各単電池7を効果的に冷却することができる。   Furthermore, since the protrusion part 26 which protrudes from the end surface wall 8 of the integrated battery case 2 is provided, since the protrusion part 26 is mounted and sealed on the installation base 31, as shown in FIG. The space 35 is formed up to the end of the integrated battery case 2, and each unit cell 7 can be effectively cooled.

また、突出部26は端面壁8の下端部に突設し、その上面を水平面に対して5°〜60°、好適には45±10°程度外側端に向けて斜め下方に傾斜する傾斜面27にて構成し、この傾斜面27を押圧片32にて押圧して固定しているので、極端子12に負荷を及ぼすことなく固定設置することができるとともに、角形密閉式電池1を上下方向だけでなく、同時に一体電槽2の長手方向にも規制することができる。   Further, the projecting portion 26 projects from the lower end portion of the end wall 8 and has an upper surface inclined at an angle of 5 ° to 60 °, preferably 45 ± 10 ° obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal plane. 27, and the inclined surface 27 is pressed and fixed by the pressing piece 32, so that it can be fixedly installed without exerting a load on the electrode terminal 12, and the rectangular sealed battery 1 can be installed in the vertical direction. Not only that, the length of the integrated battery case 2 can be restricted at the same time.

本実施形態によれば、一体電槽2の端面壁8の端子穴10の近傍部分の一側部に厚肉部28を形成して端子穴10の両側部で肉厚を互いに異ならせているので、一体電槽2のインジェクション成型時に端子穴10の部分で樹脂が左右両側に分かれて流れる際に樹脂流れが両側で異なり、その結果、図2に示すように、端子穴10の上部で両側の樹脂の流れが接触して形成されるウェルドライン29が端子穴10の中心線位置よりも外れた位置で斜め上方に形成され、ウェルドライン29が最も断面積が小さく応力が集中する端子穴10の中心線位置から外れて位置することになる。したがって、ウェルドライン29と高応力部が重ならず、一体電槽2内の各電槽3の内圧が高くなったり、極端子12に外力や振動が負荷された場合にもクラックは発生し難く、極端子12の取付強度を確保できる。 According to the present embodiment , the thick wall portion 28 is formed on one side portion of the end face wall 8 of the integrated battery case 2 in the vicinity of the terminal hole 10, and the thickness is made different at both side portions of the terminal hole 10. Therefore, when the integral battery case 2 is injection-molded, the resin flow is different on both sides when the resin is divided into the left and right sides at the terminal hole 10 portion. As a result, as shown in FIG. A weld line 29 formed by contact with the resin flow is formed obliquely upward at a position deviating from the center line position of the terminal hole 10, and the weld line 29 has the smallest cross-sectional area and stress concentration. It will be located away from the center line position. Therefore, the weld line 29 and the high-stress part do not overlap each other, and even when the internal pressure of each battery case 3 in the integrated battery case 2 is increased or when an external force or vibration is applied to the electrode terminal 12, cracks are hardly generated. The mounting strength of the electrode terminal 12 can be ensured.

また、端面壁8に横リブ8aと縦リブ8bを突設して面剛性を高めているので、電池内圧が上昇して端面壁8に大きな荷重が作用しても、端面壁8の膨張変形を効果的に抑制でき、極端子12の接続部に悪影響を与えず、適正な接続状態を確保できる。   Further, the lateral ribs 8a and the vertical ribs 8b are protruded from the end face wall 8 to enhance the surface rigidity. Therefore, even if the battery internal pressure increases and a large load acts on the end face wall 8, the end face wall 8 is expanded and deformed. Can be effectively suppressed, and an appropriate connection state can be secured without adversely affecting the connection portion of the pole terminal 12.

また、極端子12の装着部において、放射状の係合溝37に係合片38を係合させているので、極端子12に対するバスバーや外部接続線を接続する際に作用する回転トルクを大面積で受けることができ、さらに係合溝37及び係合片38の数を増やすことでその面積を容易にさらに大きくすることができ、コンパクトな構成で荷重を受ける係合面の応力を小さくでき、接続時に極端子12に作用する回転トルクに対する破壊限界を向上することができる。また、円形凹部39と円環状突部40との嵌合により回転トルクによる荷重が係合溝37と係合片38の係合面に対して常に垂直に作用するため、荷重に対して高い支持強度が得られ、さらに破壊限界を向上することができる。   Further, since the engagement piece 38 is engaged with the radial engagement groove 37 in the mounting portion of the pole terminal 12, the rotational torque acting when connecting the bus bar and the external connection line to the pole terminal 12 is large. Further, by increasing the number of the engagement grooves 37 and the engagement pieces 38, the area can be further increased easily, and the stress of the engagement surface that receives the load can be reduced with a compact configuration. The breakage limit with respect to the rotational torque acting on the pole terminal 12 at the time of connection can be improved. Further, since the load due to the rotational torque always acts perpendicularly to the engagement surface of the engagement groove 37 and the engagement piece 38 by the fitting of the circular recess 39 and the annular protrusion 40, the support is high against the load. Strength can be obtained and the fracture limit can be further improved.

また、集電板6のプレス成形によって突出成形された接続突部23にて隣接する単電池7を直列接続しているので、一体電槽2内で内部接続できるとともに、接続部品を別途に必要としないので、少ない部品点数で低コストにて簡単に接続することができ、また接続突部26が集電板6と一体でありかつ1箇所の溶接で接続されているので、電気抵抗の極めて少ない接続が可能となる。 In addition , since the adjacent unit cells 7 are connected in series at the connection protrusions 23 that are formed by press forming of the current collector plate 6, internal connection can be made within the integrated battery case 2, and connection parts are required separately. Therefore, it is possible to easily connect at a low cost with a small number of parts, and since the connection protrusion 26 is integral with the current collector plate 6 and connected by welding at one place, the electrical resistance is extremely high. Fewer connections are possible.

また、互いに隣り合う電槽3、3の隣接端部において、蓋体4に通孔10を形成するとともに、蓋体4上にこれら通孔13、13間を連通する連通路14aを形成した連通蓋14が溶着されており、これによって各電槽3の間の内部圧力を均一化して一部の電槽3の内部圧力の上昇によってその単電池7の寿命が低下し、それに伴って密閉角形蓄電池1の寿命が短くなるのを防止できるとともに、蓋体4に単一の安全弁15を設けるだけで良くして、コスト低下を図ることができる。   Further, in the adjacent end portions of the battery cases 3 and 3 adjacent to each other, a communication hole 14 is formed in the lid body 4, and a communication path 14 a is formed on the lid body 4 to communicate between the through holes 13 and 13. The lid 14 is welded, whereby the internal pressure between the battery cases 3 is made uniform, and the lifetime of the unit cells 7 is reduced due to the increase in the internal pressure of some of the battery cases 3, and accordingly the sealed rectangular shape is formed. It is possible to prevent the life of the storage battery 1 from being shortened, and it is only necessary to provide a single safety valve 15 on the lid 4, thereby reducing the cost.

次に、本発明の参考例について、図6を参照して説明する。なお、上記実施形態と同一の構成要素については同一参照符号を付して説明を省略し、相違点のみを説明する。 Next, a reference example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the component same as the said embodiment, the same referential mark is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted and only a different point is demonstrated.

上記実施形態では、極端子12を一体電槽2の端面壁8から外側に突設したが、本参考例では蓋体4の上壁の両端部に端子穴30を形成し、この端子穴30を貫通させて内側から極端子12を装着している。極端子12はその座部12aと固定ナット30aにて蓋体4の上壁を挟持することによって装着固定され、固定ナット30aと蓋体4上壁上面との間に介装したシール材30bと極端子12の座部12aと蓋体4の上壁下面との間に介装されたOリング25にて二重にシールされている。また、両端の単電池7の端面壁8の内面に沿って配設された集電板6には上方に延びる延出部6aが形成され、その先端部が極端子12の座部12aに接続されている。 In the above embodiment, the electrode terminal 12 protrudes outward from the end face wall 8 of the integrated battery case 2, but in this reference example , terminal holes 30 are formed at both end portions of the upper wall of the lid body 4. And the electrode terminal 12 is mounted from the inside. The pole terminal 12 is mounted and fixed by sandwiching the upper wall of the lid body 4 between the seat portion 12a and the fixing nut 30a, and a sealing material 30b interposed between the fixing nut 30a and the upper surface of the upper wall of the lid body 4; Double sealing is performed by an O-ring 25 interposed between the seat 12 a of the electrode terminal 12 and the lower surface of the upper wall of the lid 4. Further, the current collector plate 6 disposed along the inner surface of the end face wall 8 of the unit cell 7 at both ends is formed with an extending portion 6 a extending upward, and the tip portion thereof is connected to the seat portion 12 a of the electrode terminal 12. Has been.

参考例によれば、密閉角形蓄電池1を設置した状態で側方から障害物が当たった場合でも、極端子12は蓋体4上に配設されているので、直接大きな衝撃が負荷されることはなく、極端子12の移動によって短絡が発生するのを防止でき、また極端子12にバスバーや外部接続線を接続する際には上方から作業することができるので、作業性も向上する。 According to this reference example , even when an obstacle hits from the side with the sealed prismatic storage battery 1 installed, the pole terminal 12 is disposed on the lid body 4 so that a large impact is directly applied. In other words, it is possible to prevent a short circuit from occurring due to the movement of the electrode terminal 12, and when connecting a bus bar or an external connection line to the electrode terminal 12, it is possible to work from above, so that workability is improved.
