The aluminum comprises pure aluminum and aluminum alloy, the copper comprises pure copper and copper alloy, the thickness of the silver foil is 0.05-0.1 mm, and the purity of the silver foil is not lower than 99.9%. And performing the cable conductor, then covering the crimping part with silver foil, connecting the conductor and the terminal, and then crimping, and finally realizing the connection between the cable conductor and the terminal. The conductor preforming means that the diameter of the conductor is pre-pressed and formed according to the hole diameter of the terminal.

The connection is annealed at 450 ℃ in vacuum for 2h, the accelerated intermetallic diffusion is simulated, the contact resistance is detected by using a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter), the detection shows that the contact resistance between the terminal and the aluminum conductor is 2.63m omega, and the contact resistance is reduced to 2.54m omega after annealing, so that the conclusion can be drawn that the contact resistance is reduced after annealing because the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted more fully in the annealing process, the resistance is reduced, and no metal oxide layer is generated when the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted.
Example 2
The embodiment provides a cable terminal crimping method, which comprises the following steps: the copper alloy conductor with the diameter of 6mm is pre-pressed and tightly connected in a circular mode, a layer of silver foil with the thickness of 0.07mm is coated on the copper alloy conductor, then the copper alloy conductor and the aluminum alloy conductor are inserted into an aluminum alloy terminal with the aperture of 8mm to be connected, then the copper alloy conductor and the aluminum alloy terminal are pressed and connected, and finally the connection of the terminal and the cable is completed. The connection is annealed at 450 ℃ in vacuum for 2h, the accelerated intermetallic diffusion is simulated, the contact resistance is detected by using a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter), the detection shows that the contact resistance of the aluminum alloy terminal and the copper conductor is 2.60m omega, and the contact resistance is reduced to 2.51m omega after annealing, so that the conclusion can be drawn that the contact resistance is reduced after annealing because the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted more fully in the annealing process, the resistance is reduced, no metal oxide layer is generated during the contact of the copper silver and the aluminum silver, and meanwhile, the exchange of the copper aluminum materials of the lead and the terminal does not influence the performance of the contact resistance.
Example 3

The connection is annealed at 450 ℃ in vacuum for 2h, the accelerated intermetallic diffusion is simulated, the contact resistance is detected by using a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter), the detection shows that the contact resistance of the aluminum alloy terminal and the copper conductor is 2.54m omega, and the contact resistance is reduced to 2.47m omega after annealing, so that the conclusion can be inferred that the contact resistance is reduced after annealing because the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted more fully in the annealing process, so the resistance is reduced, no metal oxide layer is generated when the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted, and meanwhile, the exchange of the copper aluminum materials of the lead and the terminal does not influence the performance of the contact resistance.
Example 4
The embodiment provides a cable terminal crimping method, which comprises the following steps: the copper alloy conductor with the diameter of 3mm is pre-pressed and tightly connected in a circular mode, a layer of silver foil with the thickness of 0.05mm is coated on the copper alloy conductor, then the copper alloy conductor and the aluminum alloy terminal with the aperture of 5mm are inserted into the silver foil to be connected, then the copper alloy conductor and the aluminum alloy terminal are pressed and connected, and finally the connection of the terminal and the cable is completed. The connection is annealed at 450 ℃ in vacuum for 2h, the accelerated intermetallic diffusion is simulated, the contact resistance is detected by using a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter), the detection shows that the contact resistance of the aluminum alloy terminal and the copper conductor is 2.58m omega, and the contact resistance is reduced to 2.49m omega after annealing, so that the conclusion can be drawn that the contact resistance is reduced after annealing because the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted more fully in the annealing process, the resistance is reduced, no metal oxide layer is generated during the contact of the copper silver and the aluminum silver, and meanwhile, the exchange of the copper aluminum materials of the lead and the terminal does not influence the performance of the contact resistance. Comparing the experimental data of examples 1-4, wherein the ratio of the silver foil thickness to the wire diameter in examples 1-4 ranges from 1:60 to 1:100, and the ratio of the silver foil thickness to the wire diameter in this embodiment is 1:80, the performance in all embodiments is the best, and the applicant speculates that there is an optimal ratio between the silver foil thickness and the wire diameter, and in this ratio, the silver foil acts as a conductive buffer layer, so as to maximally prevent the generation of metal oxide between copper and aluminum materials and the electrical conductivity.
Example 5
The embodiment provides a cable terminal crimping method, which comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps of performing circular pre-pressing and tight connection on a copper alloy conductor with the diameter of 3mm, coating a layer of silver foil with the thickness of 0.06mm, inserting an aluminum alloy terminal with the aperture of 5mm for connection, and performing compression joint on the aluminum alloy terminal and the aluminum alloy terminal to finally complete connection between the terminal and a cable. The connection is annealed in vacuum at 450 ℃ for 2h to simulate and accelerate intermetallic diffusion, a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter) is used for detecting the contact resistance, the detection shows that the contact resistance of the aluminum alloy terminal and the copper conductor is 2.69m omega, the contact resistance after annealing is reduced to 2.60m omega, therefore, the contact resistance after annealing is reduced because the copper, the silver and the aluminum are contacted more fully in the annealing process, the resistance is reduced, a metal oxide layer is not generated when the copper and the aluminum are contacted, meanwhile, the exchange of the copper and the aluminum materials of the lead and the terminal does not influence the performance of the contact resistance, but because the ratio of the thickness of the silver foil layer to the diameter of the conductor is lower than 1:60, the final contact resistance and the contact resistance after annealing are obviously reduced, and the applicant conjectures that because the silver foil layer is too thin relative to the diameter of the conductor, the structural stability of the buffer layer during compression joint is poor, the expected buffer connection effect is not achieved.
Example 6
The embodiment provides a cable terminal crimping method, which comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps of performing circular pre-pressing and tight connection on a copper alloy conductor with the diameter of 3mm, coating a layer of silver foil with the thickness of 0.025mm, inserting an aluminum alloy terminal with the aperture of 5mm for connection, and performing compression joint on the aluminum alloy terminal and the aluminum alloy terminal to finally complete connection between the terminal and a cable. The connection is annealed at 450 ℃ in vacuum for 2h, the accelerated intermetallic diffusion is simulated, the contact resistance is detected by using a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter), the detection shows that the contact resistance between the aluminum alloy terminal and the copper conductor is 2.72m omega, and the contact resistance is reduced to 2.63m omega after annealing, so that the fact that the contact resistance is reduced after annealing can be inferred because the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted more fully in the annealing process, so that the resistance is reduced, a metal oxide layer is not generated when the copper silver and the aluminum silver are contacted, and meanwhile, the exchange of the copper aluminum materials of the lead and the terminal does not influence the performance of the contact resistance. However, since the ratio between the thickness of the silver foil layer and the diameter of the conductor is higher than 1:100, the final contact resistance and the contact resistance after annealing are also significantly reduced, and the applicant speculates that the silver foil layer is too thick, which finally results in poor bonding conformance of the buffer layer at the joint, and thus the contact resistance cannot reach the expected value.
Example 7
The embodiment provides a cable terminal crimping method, which comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps of performing circular pre-pressing and tight connection on a copper alloy conductor with the diameter of 3mm, coating a layer of silver foil with the thickness of 0.05mm and the purity of 99.0%, inserting an aluminum alloy terminal with the aperture of 5mm for connection, and performing compression joint on the aluminum alloy terminal and the aluminum alloy terminal to finally complete connection between the terminal and a cable. The joint is annealed in vacuum at 450 ℃ for 2h to simulate and accelerate intermetallic diffusion, a contact resistance tester (milliohm meter) is used for detecting the contact resistance, the detection shows that the contact resistance of the aluminum alloy terminal and the copper conductor is 2.63m omega, the contact resistance is reduced to 2.55m omega after annealing, it is concluded that the reduction in contact resistance after annealing is due to the fact that the copper silver and aluminum silver are in more complete contact during annealing, and therefore the resistance is reduced, no metal oxide layer is generated when the copper-aluminum material of the lead and the terminal is contacted with the copper-aluminum material of the terminal, and the performance of contact resistance is not influenced, but compared with the example 4, since the purity of the silver foil used is less than 99.9%, the final contact resistance by pressure welding and the contact resistance after annealing are both reduced, and the applicant speculates that the higher the purity of the silver foil, the higher the conductivity of the silver foil, and thus the contact conductivity of copper and aluminum coated with the silver foil can be improved.
Comparative example 1
The invention provides a cable terminal crimping method, which comprises the following steps: and (3) inserting an aluminum alloy conductor with the diameter of 10mm into a copper alloy terminal with the aperture of 12mm for connection, and then crimping the aluminum alloy conductor and the copper alloy terminal to complete the connection of the terminal and the cable. Vacuum annealing at 450 deg.C for 2h, detecting contact resistance with contact resistance tester (milliohm meter), the contact resistance of the terminal and aluminum conductor after crimping is 2.48m omega, and the contact resistance after annealing is increased to 2.79 omega. The initial contact resistance of the copper terminal without the silver foil coating and the aluminum conductor after compression joint is better than that of the copper foil coating mode due to the fact that the two materials are in direct compression joint contact, but along with the increase of the use time, namely the diffusion phenomenon of copper and aluminum in the long-term use process simulated in the annealing process, the contact resistance after final annealing is not reduced but obviously increased because the copper and the aluminum are diffused in the annealing process to produce a metal part compound with higher resistance, so that the contact resistance is increased, and the invention examples 1-4 are verified from the side, through aluminum foil coating, because pure silver has good conductivity, the copper and the aluminum have extremely low solubility at normal temperature and cannot diffuse with each other, and the method of carrying out interface isolation on copper and aluminum between terminals by adopting the silver foil can avoid the resistance increase caused by the formation of intermetallic compounds on the copper and aluminum interface after the terminal is compression joint, The problem of terminal crimping relaxation.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, many modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
