Abstract

A sealing body according to the present invention is sealing body for a sealed battery including conductive terminal cap, a conductive explosion-proof valve electrically connected to the terminal cap, a conductive terminal plate having an abutting surface abutting the explosion-proof valve, and an insulating plate disposed between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal plate. A welded part between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal plate is formed in the inner part of the abutting surface, and the plan-view shape of the welded part is a shape defining an enclosed region, a C-shape, or a spiral shape. A notch part surrounding the welded part is formed in the terminal plate. The breaking pressure of the welded part is higher than the breaking pressure of the notch part.

Claims (18)

1. A sealing body for a sealed battery comprising: a conductive terminal cap; a conductive explosion-proof valve electrically connected to the terminal cap; a conductive terminal plate having an abutting surface abutting the explosion-proof valve; and an insulating plate disposed between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal plate,

wherein a welded part between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal plate is formed in the inner part of the abutting surface, and the plan-view shape of the welded part is a shape defining an enclosed region,

wherein a notch part surrounding the welded part is formed in the terminal plate, and

wherein the breaking pressure of the welded part is higher than the breaking pressure of the notch part.

2. The sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 1 , wherein the plan-view shape of the welded part is circular.

3. A sealing body for a sealed battery comprising: a conductive terminal cap; a conductive explosion-proof valve electrically connected to the terminal cap; a conductive terminal plate having an abutting surface abutting the explosion-proof valve; and an insulating plate disposed between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal plate,

wherein a welded part between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal plate is formed in the inner part of the abutting surface, and the plan-view shape of the welded part is a C-shape or a spiral shape,

wherein a notch part surrounding the welded part is formed in the terminal plate, and

wherein the breaking pressure of the welded part is higher than the breaking pressure of the notch part.

4. The sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 1 , wherein the welded part is formed with a high energy ray.

5. A sealed battery comprising the sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 1 .

6. The sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 2 , wherein the welded part is formed with a high energy ray.

7. The sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 3 , wherein the welded part is formed with a high energy ray.

8. A sealed battery comprising the seating body for a sealed battery according to claim 2 .

9. A sealed battery comprising the sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 3 .

10. A sealed battery comprising the sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 4 .

11. A sealed battery comprising the sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 6 .

12. A sealed battery comprising the sealing body for a sealed battery according to claim 7 .
