AI Technical Summary
The vent holes in existing nickel-metal hydride batteries are formed by drilling holes directly on the outer casing. This causes positive ions in the electrolyte to flow out along the vent hole protrusions, resulting in alkali creep, which affects battery life and appearance. Furthermore, the high temperature of the riveting process damages the sealing performance.
The sealed boss structure is adopted, which is installed in the vent hole by rivets and rivet pads. The sealing boss is formed by press riveting process. The rivets are insulated from the battery shell to enhance the sealing effect.
It effectively avoids alkali creep caused by electrolyte penetration, improves battery life, and ensures sealing performance through a simple and reliable riveting process.
