AI Technical Summary
After improper use or extrusion and deformation of zinc-manganese batteries, a large amount of gas and high temperatures are generated inside, which may cause the air pressure to rise and cause explosion.
A zinc-manganese battery is designed, and its positive electrode cap is equipped with an explosion-proof film and copper sheet. When the pressure in the battery increases, the explosion-proof film breaks, and high-pressure gas enters the positive electrode cap. The pressure further increases, causing the copper sheet to be squeezed open, forming a gap to exhaust gas and relieve pressure.
By ejecting high-pressure gas in the battery, the risk of battery explosion is avoided and the safety of the battery is improved.
