Abstract

Disclosed is a cover component of a secondary battery, which is provided with a semi-permeable film. The semi-permeable film is arranged between a pressure regulating component and the cover. An exhaust hole is arranged on the cover for exhausting gas generated in the battery. The gas is exhausted by the exhaust hole through the semi-permeable film. Electrolyte is prevented from leakage through the exhaust hole by the semi-permeable film. The gas exhausted through the exhaust hole is exhausted outside the battery through the exhaust hole arranged on the cover of the cover component.

Description

The cap assembly of secondary cell
The present invention relates to a kind of cap assembly of secondary cell, especially relate to a kind of cap assembly with semipermeability rete, this semi-permeable rete can prevent that electrolyte is from battery drain and allow gaseous emission.
Usually, secondary cell be such as nickel-cadmium cell or Ni-MH battery such be widely used chargeable battery.Because the chemical reaction when discharging and recharging produces gas, this secondary cell bears high interior pressure, though uncommon, because gas produces, battery explosion may take place.
Therefore, at present known many batteries have the cap assembly that safety valve is housed, and the steam vent that safety valve forms on can be by cap sleeve when excessive pressure increases is emitted gas, with the air pressure in the reduction battery.
United States Patent (USP) NOS.3,516,870 and 4,078,121 disclose this kind battery.
Yet the defective of this existing cap assembly is that electrolyte leaks thereupon when the steam vent that gas forms on by cap sleeve is emitted.When this happens, because electrolyte density changes in the battery, the battery performance variation.In addition, the outer surface of battery and ancillary equipment are by electrolyte pollution and damage.
Therefore, the present invention attempts to solve the problems referred to above of existing battery.
The object of the invention provides a kind of cap assembly of secondary cell, can prevent electrolyte leakage when allowing gaseous emission, thereby keeps battery performance and prevent the contaminated and damage of ancillary equipment.
According to a feature of the present invention, realize above-mentioned purpose by in the battery cap assembly, using the semi-permeable film layer, this semipermeability rete can prevent electrolyte leakage, finishes gaseous emission simultaneously.
This permeability rete is arranged between pressure regulating part and the cap sleeve.Cap sleeve is provided with steam vent, is used to discharge the gas that produces in the battery.Gas discharges through the semipermeability rete by steam vent, and because the semipermeability of rete, electrolyte can not leak by steam vent.The gas of emitting by steam vent is discharged into the outside of battery again by the steam vent that forms on the cap of cap assembly.
The semipermeability rete is preferably made by resembling the such synthetic resin of polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride.More preferably, polyethylene can be selected from low density polyethylene (LDPE) or crosslinked polyethylene.
To understand the present invention more fully from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings given below, but they only are used for illustrative, and are not used in restriction the present invention, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the cutaway view according to the secondary cell cap assembly of first embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is the cutaway view according to the secondary cell cap assembly of second embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 3 is the cutaway view according to the secondary cell cap assembly of third embodiment of the invention.
Be the description of preferably implementing according to the present invention below.In the drawings, same numeral is represented similar elements.
At first with reference to Fig. 1, expression is according to the cross-sectional view of the secondary cell cap assembly of first embodiment of the invention.Cap assembly of the present invention comprises the cap 4 with steam vent 5, emits gas by steam vent 5.Cap sleeve 6 is connected on the cap 4 at the open lower end place of cap 4, and the heart partly has steam vent 7 therein.The opening of the pressure control steam vent 7 that elastomer 12 produces in according to battery is set between cap sleeve 6 and cap 4.The semi-permeable rete 10 of main element of the present invention is between elastic component and cap sleeve 6.Rete 10 is selected from and can prevents that electrolyte from can make the material of gaseous emission from battery drain.Seal 8 is arranged between cap sleeve 6 and the battery container so that sealing to be provided.
Elastic component 12 is designed to when cell internal pressure is increased to above certain level, and when promptly surpassing the elastic force of elastic component 12, elastic component 12 is owing to described pressure compresses, thereby opens steam vent 7 to emit gas.When the pressure in the battery was reduced to the elastic force level that is lower than elastic component 12, elastic component 12 expansions were also closed steam vent 7.
Elastic component is by cylindrical rubber spare shown in Figure 1 12, or pressure plare 14 shown in Figure 2 and helical spring 15, and the sheet spring 16 of pressure plare 14 perhaps shown in Figure 3 and zigzag structure constitutes.
As mentioned above, semipermeability rete 10 is designed to prevent that electrolyte from allowing gas to emit from battery drain simultaneously.Semipermeability rete 10 preferably constitutes by resembling the such synthetic resin of polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride.More preferably, polyethylene can be selected from low density polyethylene (LDPE) or crosslinked polyethylene.
Work according to secondary cell cap assembly of the present invention will be described below.
Since produce gas when battery discharge and charging, when the pressure in the battery is increased to above predeterminated level, the pressure compression that elastic component 12 is increased, the steam vent 7 that forms on the cap sleeve 6 just can be opened as a result.
When opened in hole 7, the gas in the battery was emitted by hole 7.
This gas permeation semipermeability rete 10 of emitting is discharged into the outside of battery by the steam vent 5 that forms on cap 4.When cell internal pressure is reduced to predeterminated level, elastic component 12 expansions, thus close steam vent 7.
At this duration of work, electrolyte flow is to the steam vent 7 of cap sleeve 6.Yet because the semi-permeable characteristic of rete 10, electrolyte can not leak by steam vent 7.
As mentioned above, do not have the advantage that prevents that battery outer surface and ancillary equipment are contaminated and destroy according to creative cap assembly of the present invention owing to do not leak electrolyte.
In addition, because can avoid electrolyte leakage, when to battery discharge and charging, density can not change, and can not occur battery performance like this and reduce.
In conjunction with the most realistic and preferred embodiment of considering at present the present invention was carried out description, should be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to this disclosed embodiment, on the contrary, attempt to cover various distortion and equate layout and method, they are included in the spirit and scope of accessory claim.
