Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a nickel pole plate of high reliability and high productivity such that a terminal can be formed in a desired portion by filling a porous base made from nickel fiber or foaming nickel with spherical nickel hydroxide active material, and wetting the active material of the surface portion of the pole plate with a liquid, and then removing the active material, and connecting a terminal to the surface portion by means of ultrasonic welding. CONSTITUTION:A nickel fiber base formed by sintering of nickel fibers is filled with a paste of an active material (nickel hydroxide). After drying the base is molded by press working to form a nickel pole plate. Water is showered to that portion of the nickel pole plate where a terminal is to be formed and the active material of the portion wetted with water is removed by blushing. Then the active material of the surface portion of the base is removed but inner active material may remain. Next a terminal made of a nickel plate is placed on that portion of the nickel pole plate from which the active material has been removed and the terminal is connected to the nickel pole plate by means of ultrasonic welding while being pressurized by an ultrasonic horn.

In all of these, the exposed portion of the electrode substrate and one pole surface of the lead terminal are welded to each other with a slot 7). Here ■ and ■
In this case, the pre-welded lead terminals and masking tape interfere with filling the active material paste, complicating the process and making continuous production impossible.

■In order to directly weld the electrode board and lead terminal,
An insulator such as an active material must not be present in the welded portion of the positive electrode plate, and it is impossible to ensure that the surface of the electrode substrate is exposed. However, it is very difficult to completely remove the active material filled in the electrode plate. If active material particles are present, sparks may occur, resulting in poor welding.

However, in a battery that uses a paste-type nickel plate connected to a nickel plate by caulking, an insulating nickel oxide film forms on the surface of the nickel plate's electrode substrate and lead terminal during the charge/discharge cycle. Eventually, the internal resistance of the battery increases, making charging and discharging impossible.
