- the functional film 33 is formed of a continuous pore polypropylene porous film (PP film), and the seal member 37 is formed of a predetermined rubber. Also, when the sealing members 39 are pre-assembled on both the upper and lower surfaces of the functional film 33 by integral molding in this manner, the liquid inside the container is effectively prevented from leaking to the outside along the outer peripheral edge of the functional film 33. can do.
- Reference numeral 38 denotes a holding member provided with a hole-shaped communicating portion 38a, and the mechanism is composed of only two parts: an assembly comprising the functional film 33 and the sealing member 37 and a holding member 38. The feature is that
- the upper and lower seal members 39 of the functional film 33 are formed integrally with each other by forming through holes 33 a in advance in the functional film 33. You may do it. Effects of the invention and industrial applicability
- the present invention has the following effects.
- a rupturable plate is integrally formed with a resin sealing plate body that closes the opening of the pressure vessel. Because of this, the material characteristics of the resin material make it possible to reduce the variation in burst pressure as compared with the conventional case. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the variation in the burst pressure and to easily control the burst pressure. Further, since the sealing plate main body and the rupturable plate are formed into a single body, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the conventional case.
- a thin portion thinner than the rupturable plate is integrally formed between the sealing plate main body and the rupturable plate, and the rupture is performed. Since the peripheral edge of the plate is provided with an inclined surface that gradually increases its thickness from the thickness of the thin portion, it is possible to concentrate the rupture site on the thin portion, and the rupture plate is placed in this thin portion. It is possible to surely rupture. Therefore, control of the burst pressure can be further facilitated.
- the sealing plate according to the third aspect of the present invention having the above configuration, when the rupturable plate ruptures, the rupturable plate is prevented from being scattered outside the sealing plate.
- the provision of the member prevents the rupturable plate from jumping out of the sealing plate even if the rupture plate ruptures due to an increase in the internal pressure of the pressure vessel. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rupture disk from jumping out of the sealing plate and colliding with the peripheral devices, and destroying these devices.
- a part of a breather having a functional film having gas permeability and liquid impermeability is provided.
- Part of the function of the preserver means that there is no need to secure pressure absorption space in the pressure vessel. Therefore, the internal volume of the pressure vessel can be reduced accordingly, and the pressure vessel can be downsized.
- the pressure adjusting mechanism when the pressure in the pressure vessel increases, the pressure is released and the pressure in the pressure vessel decreases.
- Function membrane made of a porous material that inhales gas when the pressure vessel is kept at atmospheric pressure when it is in use, provides a gas permeation function or a breather function with this porous functional film.
- the pressure in the pressure vessel can be always maintained at the atmospheric pressure, whereby the high pressure is stored in the pressure vessel and the pressure vessel is Explosion can be prevented beforehand.
- the operating characteristics of the gas permeation function or the breather function of the porous material are stable, and the magnitude of the differential pressure inside and outside the pressure vessel where the preservation function is started depends on the production of the functional membrane.
- the size of the pores of the porous body can be adjusted by appropriately changing the porous structure of the functional film. Therefore, the occurrence of dry-up can be suppressed by reducing the decrease of the electrolyte in the pressure vessel by such adjustment.
- the functional film made of a porous material has a function of breather as needed, and is not a single-use component like a rupture plate in an explosion-proof valve. Therefore, the functional membrane can be continuously used while releasing the high pressure in the pressure vessel from time to time, which is economical and eliminates the need to replace parts with new parts every time pressure is released. it can.
- the functional film has a function of breather as needed, and does not release the high pressure at a time until the pressure in the pressure vessel reaches a predetermined value like a rupture plate in an explosion-proof valve. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide a pressure absorbing space in the explosion-proof valve in the pressure vessel, the internal volume of the pressure vessel can be reduced by that much, and the pressure vessel can be downsized.
- the functional film made of a porous body is subjected to a water-repellent treatment so that the liquid does not seep into the functional film.
- a water-repellent treatment so that the liquid does not seep into the functional film.
- the holding member is provided so that the functional film made of a porous material or the holding member thereof is not deformed by a predetermined pressure or more. Since it is provided, it is possible to prevent the functional film or the holding member from being significantly deformed and damaged by the pressure in the pressure vessel.
- a PTFE material is processed by a stretching method to form a film-like porous body, and at the same time, a functional film obtained by coating this porous body with a fluorine-based chemical and performing a water-repellent treatment is provided.
- a functional film obtained by coating this porous body with a fluorine-based chemical and performing a water-repellent treatment.
- a rubber-like elastic material sealing member covering both sides in the thickness direction and the outer peripheral side of the peripheral portion of the functional film functions. Since it is mounted on the membrane, the assembling property and the sealing property can be improved.
- a rubber-like elastic sealing member is assembled on both sides in the thickness direction of the functional film by body molding. Therefore, the assembling property and the sealing property can be improved.
