2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to prevent an internal short circuit of a lead storage battery and improve a charge / discharge cycle life, a bag-shaped separator in which a side portion and a lower portion of the electrode plate are wrapped and a side portion of the separator is welded is used. Has been. Such a separator is more effective than a flat separator in that the short circuit at the lower and side portions of the electrode plate is prevented and the life is improved. However, if the separator is formed in a bag shape, the charge / discharge performance of the electrode plate housed in the bag is deteriorated. The reason is that the separator has a structure that encloses the side portion and the lower portion of the electrode plate, and thus inhibits the diffusion of sulfate ions in the electrolyte solution that is a substance involved in the charge / discharge reaction. In order to solve the above problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 14442/1993
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-76 proposes to provide an unwelded portion of the separator, that is, an opening for improving diffusion of the electrolytic solution, on the bottom and side of the bag-shaped separator.

However, even if the above technique is applied, a short circuit occurs in the opening. The reason is as follows. A lead acid battery generates oxygen gas and hydrogen gas during charging. At this time, since the anode capacity is usually smaller than the cathode capacity, oxygen gas is mainly generated from the anode. Such gas generation promotes stirring of the electrolytic solution. On the other hand, this phenomenon has an action of transporting sulfate ions, which are substances involved in the charge / discharge reaction, to the electrode / electrolyte interface, and is considered an advantage. However, on the other hand, it promotes the release of the active material from the anode plate. Since the released anode active material is mainly composed of reducible fine particles (PbO 2 etc.), it is easily deposited on the cathode showing a negative potential. As the deposition progresses, the deposit reaches the anode beyond the end of the separator, causing an internal short circuit. In addition, although the probability of occurrence is small, in the portion where the electrode plate is exposed, that is, in the ear portion, the internal resistance is smaller than in other portions, and a current easily flows, so that the reducible fine particles present in the electrolytic solution are present. (PbO 2 etc.) may be deposited on the ears on the upper part of the cathode plate, and may reach the upper part of the adjacent anode plate stacked over the upper end of the separator to cause an internal short circuit. . This internal short circuit can occur in the anode ear and the cathode upper end that is adjacent to it, but the frequency is higher in the cathode ear and the anode upper end that is adjacent to it. Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to suppress an internal short circuit in the lower and side portions of the electrode plate, and
An object of the present invention is to provide a lead storage battery in which the diffusion of an electrolytic solution is good. A second object of the present invention is to achieve the above-mentioned first object and to suppress internal short circuit in the cathode plate 3 ears 4 and the upper end part of the anode plate which is adjacent thereto.

The operation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In order to prevent the reducible particles from reaching the end portion of the cathode plate at the side portion or the lower portion of the electrode plate, as shown in FIG. 1 which is a sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. At least one rib 1 is provided on each of the protruding portions of the arranged separator 2 on the side facing the cathode plate 3, and the top of the rib 1 provided on one separator 2 is the other separator 2 and Ribs 1 that do not contact the ribs 1 of the other separator 2 and that are provided on the one separator 2
May have a height whose top exceeds the position of the top of the rib 1 provided on the other separator 2. The reason is that the two ribs 1 shown in FIG. 1 can play a role of lengthening the path through which the reducible fine particles supplied from the anode plate reach the cathode plate 3 in a labyrinth. . Further, by adopting the structure shown in FIG. 1, it is considered that the rib 1 has a function of preventing the reducible particles from penetrating in the direction of the cathode plate 3. Unlike the bag-shaped separator, the above-mentioned configuration does not enclose the electrode plate side portion and the lower portion, but has a path through which the labyrinth-shaped electrolytic solution can move, on the electrode plate side portion and / or the lower portion. Therefore, the diffusion of the electrolytic solution is good. At this time, in addition to the above configuration, as shown in, for example, FIG. 6, even if the edges of the separators 2 arranged on both surfaces of the cathode plate 3 have the joint portions 5 discontinuously, the opening portion 6 exists, so that the electrolysis is performed. The diffusion of the liquid is not hindered. Further, in order to prevent a short circuit between the ears 4 of the cathode plate 3 and the upper end of the anode which is adjacent to the ears 4, the position of the upper end of the separator 2 in the ears 4 of the cathode plate 3 may be above the electrolyte surface. The reason for this is that the reducible particles move only in the electrolytic solution, and thus the separator 2 prevents the deposition of the reducible particles on the ears by covering the ears with the separator 2.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described. (Example 1) First, an anode plate and a cathode plate corresponding to 46B24 type were prepared one by one by a known method. The thickness of the cathode plate at this time is 1.5 mm. Next, a separator made of a porous polyethylene resin is molded and processed, and as shown in FIG. 3, a separator 2 which is 8 mm in the vertical direction and 12 mm in the width direction larger than the electrode plate size excluding the ears 4 of the cathode plate 3. Prepared. As shown in FIG. 3A, one of the separators 2 is provided with ribs 1 each having a width and a height of 1 mm on the side and the bottom 2 mm inside from the edge. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), ribs 1 each having a width and a height of 1 mm are provided on the side and bottom 4 mm inside from the edge. These two separators 2 were brought into contact with both surfaces of the cathode plate 3 with the ribs 1 inside, with their ends aligned. A front view of the cathode plate 3 in that state is shown in FIG. A in FIG.
The cross-sectional view taken along the line -A 'was as shown in FIG. That is, the two ribs 1 did not contact each other, and the tops of the ribs 1 arranged on one separator 2 did not contact the other separator 2. The prepared anode plate and the cathode plate 3 in contact with the separator 2 were inserted into a battery case, and a sulfuric acid aqueous solution having a specific gravity of 1.280 was injected into the battery container to manufacture a lead acid battery. At this time, the upper end of the separator 2 was 5 mm below the electrolytic solution surface.

Focusing on the discharge duration in Table 1, it can be seen that the batteries of Examples 1 and 2 have characteristics equivalent to those of the battery of Conventional Example 3 using the flat separator. This is because the electrolyte solution was smoothly stirred by gassing during charging, the stratification of the electrolyte solution was prevented, and the sulfate ions necessary for the discharge reaction were uniformly supplied to the electrode plate. On the other hand, since the battery of Conventional Example 2 uses the bag-shaped separator, it was not possible to stir the entire electrolytic solution in the battery during charging. Since the battery of Conventional Example 1 uses the bag-shaped separator having the opening, the diffusion of the electrolytic solution was better than that of the battery of Conventional Example 2. However, it can be seen that the diffusion of the electrolytic solution is somewhat inferior to the batteries of Example 1, Example 2 and Conventional Example 3 having no joint portion 5.

Also, paying attention to the results of the heavy load life test in Table 1, the battery of Conventional Example 3 had a very short life. The reason for this is that since the battery of Conventional Example 3 uses a flat separator, the above-mentioned reducible fine particles were easily deposited on the end of the cathode plate 3 and brought into contact with the anode to cause an internal short circuit.
In the case of the battery of Conventional Example 3, the internal short circuit occurred in the lower part of the electrode plate. The battery having the shortest life next to the battery of Conventional Example 3 is the battery of Conventional Example 1. It is considered that this is a battery using the bag-shaped separator, although the opening 6 is provided, so that an internal short circuit is less likely to occur than in the battery of Conventional Example 3 and the battery has a long life. However, the reason for reaching the end of life was that the reducible particles penetrating from the opening 6 reached the anode and caused an internal short circuit. The battery of Conventional Example 2 has a long life because it uses a perfect bag-shaped separator. The cause of reaching the end of life was that the reducible fine particles deposited on the ears 4 of the cathode plate 3 reached the upper end of the anode plate and were internally short-circuited. The reason why the internal short circuit due to this cause is less likely to occur than the internal short circuit at the side or lower part of the electrode plate as seen in the batteries of Conventional Examples 1 and 3 is that the specific gravity of the reducible fine particles is larger than that of the electrolytic solution. It is thought that this is because there is a high probability that it exists below. The battery of Example 1 also had a long life like the battery of Conventional Example 2. As in the case of Conventional Example 2, the cause of the life was an internal short circuit due to the reducible particles deposited on the ears of the cathode plate reaching the upper end of the anode plate.

The effect of suppressing the internal short circuit was the same as in Example 1. Further, as a result of examining the discharge duration time in Table 1, results almost the same as those of Conventional Example 1 were obtained. Therefore, even when the configuration shown in FIG. 6 is used, the above-described first object can be achieved. Further, in the case of the configuration of FIG. 6, since the separator 2 and the cathode plate 3 can be integrated together,

As another means for raising the upper end of the separator 2 located at the ear 4 of the cathode plate 3 in Example 2 above the electrolytic solution surface, the configuration shown in FIG. 7 can be considered. This is configured such that the upper end portion of the separator 2 linearly increases in the direction of the cathode plate 3 and the ear portion 4. in this case,
When continuously cutting a long separator, there is an advantage that no special cutting tool is required because the cutting portion is straight. In order to make full use of the above advantages, it is possible to consider a configuration in which the entire upper end of the separator 2 is parallel to the upper end of the cathode plate 3 and above the electrolytic solution surface. However, this configuration has some disadvantages in that an extra separator is used. With any of these configurations, the second object described above can be achieved in terms of battery performance. It is possible to use the separator 2 shown in FIG. 8 in addition to the separator 2 used in Example 1 in FIG. This is because the separator 2 is ribbed from the folding line 7 at the center of the separator 2.
The inner side of the cathode plate 3 and fold it back, and place the cathode plate 3 on the surface on which the rib 1 is arranged.
Is a means for abutting against the rib 1 so as not to come into contact therewith. In this case, workability when the separator 2 and the cathode plate 3 are brought into contact with each other is improved. That is, the positional relationship among the separator 2, the rib 1 and the cathode plate 3 can be easily made into the state shown in FIG. This is because the above configuration can be realized only by the work of accurately folding back from the folding line 7. In the lead acid battery prepared with the separator 2 shown in FIG. 8, since the rib 1 is not arranged below the cathode plate 3, the discharge duration time in Table 1 was slightly inferior to that in Examples 1 and 2, but the conventional example 1 It was the same level as. The cause of the number of times of life in Table 1 was the same as in Example 1. Therefore, the battery having this configuration can achieve the above-mentioned first object. Although only one rib 1 is provided in each protruding portion of the separator in this embodiment, the number of ribs may be more than two.
