Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a square sealed battery having stable operation pressure of a safety valve and high reliability in a seal welding part by protecting the safety valve incorporated in a cap when a sealing body is welded to an outer jacket can and exiting reliable seal welding. CONSTITUTION:A sealing body 3 is fit to an opening end 1c of an outer jacket can 1 and laser-welded. When welded, the side surface 10d, facing to the long side 1a of the can 1, of a cathode cap 10 is blocked. A safety valve incorporated is not affected by heat of welding. Although a hole 10c of the cathode cap 10 is opened toward a short side surface 1b of the can 10, since the distance to the hole 10c of the cap 10 is far from the opening end of the short side surface 1b, radiation heat, reflected heat, and melting heat of a combustible material such as a gasket 5 in the vicinity of the welding part do not enter the cathode cap 10 from the hole 10, and the safety valve is protected. Since gas containing soot is not produced from the safety valve, laser beams are not blocked, and the sealing body 3 is surely welded to the whole circumference of the can 1.

However, when the lid plate 4 of the sealing body 3 is welded to the opening end 1c of the outer can 1, the welded portion of the lid plate 4 on the long side surface 1a side of the outer can 1 has the anode cap 8 attached thereto. Since it is closer to the notch 8c of the anode cap 8, for example, the influence of heat due to welding, such as radiant heat in laser welding, reflected heat, melting heat of combustible material such as the gasket 5 near the welded portion, etc. Enter the cap 8,
Part of the safety valve 9 formed of a rubber member will be melted. As a result, the effective sectional area of the safety valve 9 is reduced, the pressure (valve opening pressure) to be operated cannot be guaranteed, and there is a possibility that the safety valve 9 may be operated at a pressure lower than a predetermined pressure. For this reason,
During normal use, especially during normal charging, the safety valve 9 may open and the electrolyte solution may leak out, damaging the device incorporating the battery.

Further, when the rubber type safety valve 9 is melted, a gas containing soot is generated and discharged from the cutout 8c of the anode cap 8 to the outside. The soot-containing gas blocks all or part of the laser light L particularly during laser welding, so that the light cannot be collected uniformly. As a result, the outer can 1
The welding bead on the side of the long side surface 1a varies, and in some cases the bead is not formed, resulting in poor welding, and a gap is generated in the fitting portion between the outer can 1 and the sealing body 3, which may cause leakage of the electrolytic solution inside. There is a problem such as becoming.

The operation will be described below. When the sealing body 3 is fitted and attached to the opening end 1c of the outer can 1, and laser welding is performed, since the side faces 10d and 10d of the anode cap 10 facing the long side faces 1a and 1a of the outer can 1 are closed, the lid is closed. The safety valve that can be installed even near the welded portion of the plate 4 is not affected by the heat of welding. On the other hand, the hole 10c of the anode cap 10,
10 c is opened to face the short side faces 1 b, 1 b of the outer can 1. However, the distance from the opening end on the side of the short side surface 1b to the hole 10c of the cap 10 is long, and therefore, when the opening end and the cover plate 4 are laser-welded, radiant heat, reflected heat, gasket 5 in the vicinity of the welded portion, etc. The heat of fusion of combustible material does not enter the anode cap 10 through the hole 10c. This protects the safety valve built in the anode cap 10 when the sealing body 3 is welded.

Further, since the safety valve does not melt when the sealing body 3 is welded, soot-containing gas is not generated from the safety valve, and the laser beam is prevented from being interrupted during laser welding. . As a result, the sealing body 3 is well welded to the outer can 1 over the entire circumference thereof, and the electrolytic solution does not leak from the welded portion. Then, the safety valve has stable and reliable working pressure.
