Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress oxidation of a negative electrode making a thin and light weight battery by providing a vent pipe (capillary) with fine hole diameter in a battery case so that inside the battery is substituted by inert gas supplied through the capillary when the battery is completed. CONSTITUTION:A battery case and an internal cover is formed by polypropylene, and electrode plate groups are inserted into each cell chamber of the battery jar. In a state that a necessary amount of electrolyte is retained at the electrode plates and a separator not remaining free electrolyte, the battery jar is sealed using an internal cover and an over cover of each cell chamber, on which a capillary with a hole diameter of 2 mm and a length of 15 mm is mounted. After completion of the battery by charging, utilizing the vent pipe comprising an exhaust pipe and a capillary between internal cover and over cover, nitrogen gas is supplied to each cell chamber to substitute inside the battery by the nitrogen gas and a closed type lead storage battery is manufactured. By the arrangement, oxidation of the negative electrode by oxygen gas in the air can be suppressed not becoming practically problematic and wall thickness of the battery jar can be thinner than conventional one.

Conventional technology The so-called negative electrode absorption type lead-acid battery, which is a sealed type in which oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode is absorbed and removed by the negative electrode during charging, limits the electrolyte used to only that absorbed and retained by the electrodes and separators, and is used during charging. This is a battery that absorbs and removes oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode at the negative electrode and returns it to water, suppressing the loss of electrolyte. Therefore, there is no generation of acid mist, and leakage is less likely to occur.
It has excellent features such as being lightweight.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In this type of battery, the interior of the battery is usually isolated from the outside air by a safety valve to prevent the negative electrode from being oxidized by oxygen in the air. This safety valve opens when the inside of the battery becomes abnormally pressurized due to gas generation or the like due to overcharging, etc., and releases gas to reduce the pressure.

Therefore, the inside of the battery is under a reduced or increased pressure with respect to atmospheric pressure, and the battery case needs to have a strong structure so as not to be deformed due to this pressure difference.

For this reason, the wall thickness of the battery case had to be thicker than that of a normal liquid-filled lead-acid battery, which was one of the factors that increased the cost of the battery.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and makes it possible to keep the internal pressure of the battery at all times the same as atmospheric pressure, to make the strength of the battery case comparable to that of ordinary liquid-filled lead-acid batteries, and to make it possible to maintain a negative electrode using oxygen gas in the air. The purpose is to suppress the oxidation of oxidation to a level that poses no practical problems.

Means to Solve the Problem In the present invention, instead of the conventional safety valve, a vent passage (capillary) with a micropore diameter is provided in the lid of the battery container, for example, to reduce the amount of air flowing into and out of the battery. When the battery is completed, inert gas is sent through the ventilation passage to replace the gas inside the battery, and the negative electrode is wrapped in inert gas to prevent oxidation until the battery is recharged. It was suppressed.

According to this method, once the battery is charged, air is introduced into the battery due to the absorption of oxygen gas by the negative electrode, so even though the battery is surrounded by inert gas, the negative electrode However, if the battery is frequently charged, such as when used in automobiles, the oxidized negative electrode is immediately reduced by charging, so this is not a practical problem at all.
By making the wall thickness of the battery container thinner than before, it is possible to ensure its function as a sealed lead-acid battery.

Example: First, the battery case and inner lid are made of polypropylene, and a group of electrode plates is inserted into each cell chamber of the battery case, and the electrode plates and separators hold the required amount of electrolyte, so that there is no free electrolyte. Then, a capillary tube with a hole diameter of 2 mm and a length of 15 wn was provided to cover each cell chamber, and the battery case was sealed with an inner lid and an upper lid.

In addition, batteries C and D equipped with cap-shaped rubber valves had more remaining capacity than a human battery because the rubber valve could maintain airtightness, but the battery container was made thicker to withstand the pressure and depressurization of the battery container during charging and discharging. In addition, it is necessary to install a rubber valve and take measures to prevent its removal, which raises the problem of increased costs and complicated battery assembly work.
