[0002] Battery terminals are metal columns that connect the positive and negative poles in the battery. They are also one of the most important components of the battery. They carry current and energy and transmit them to external devices or chargers. The material of the battery terminal is usually copper, nickel, aluminum and other metals with good conductivity to ensure the smooth flow of current. Its size and shape will vary depending on the type and purpose of the battery.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN101540387A discloses a method for preparing a composite pole for a lithium battery, which is characterized by comprising: determining a composite ratio of two materials; removing surface oxides; a scraping process; tightly fitting to form a material rod and extruding it; annealing the extruded material rod; repeating the extrusion process until the size required for the cold drawing process is reached; repeating the annealing process; and performing multiple cold drawing processes to obtain a composite pole.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, during the rolling process of copper-aluminum composite materials, the impact of environmental factors on material properties is highly ambiguous, making it difficult to optimize the rolling process. There is also a lack of systematic strategies to improve the material qualification rate, which makes it difficult for companies to reduce production costs. Summary of the invention

[0008] Among them, rolling includes: rolling the prepared copper-aluminum composite material, and testing the rolled material to determine whether the rolled material is qualified, and obtaining area parameters, determining whether the target environment will affect the qualified rate of the material rolling, and obtaining the area characterization value MB, so as to analyze the target environment range in which the qualified rate of the rolled material is high;

[0009] Obtain the proportion of qualified materials among all materials after rolling under different target environments;

[0010] According to the proportion of qualified materials in all rolled materials under different target environments, draw a target environment and qualified proportion analysis chart;

[0011] Based on the target environment and the qualified ratio analysis chart, the target environment is divided into multiple intervals according to the numerical value, and the area enclosed between each interval polyline and the target environment is calculated respectively. The ratio of this area to the area threshold is the area representation value MB;

[0012] The area characterization value threshold is preset as MZ, and the area characterization value MB is compared and analyzed with the area characterization value threshold MZ;

[0013] If the area characterization value MB≥the area characterization value threshold value MZ, it means that the target environment during the rolling of the material is in the range and the qualified rate of the material after rolling is high.

[0025] As a further solution of the present invention: the method for judging whether the rolled material is qualified according to the collected parameters is:

[0026] The acquisition parameter threshold is preset as JCY, and the acquisition parameter JC is compared and analyzed with the acquisition parameter threshold JCY;

[0027] If the acquisition parameter JC ≤ the acquisition parameter threshold JCY, the material after rolling is judged to be qualified;

[0028] If the acquisition parameter JC> the acquisition parameter threshold JCY, the rolled material is judged to be unqualified.

[0033] By formula: Calculate and obtain the area parameter YX.

[0034] As a further solution of the present invention: the method for judging whether the target environment will affect the qualified rate of material rolling is:

[0035] The area parameter threshold is preset to YZ, and the area parameter YX is compared and analyzed with the area parameter threshold YZ;

[0036] If the area parameter YX is less than the area parameter threshold YZ, it is determined that the change in the target environment during material rolling has no effect on the qualified rate of the material after rolling;

[0037] If the area parameter YX ≥ the area parameter threshold YZ, it is determined that the change in the target environment during the rolling of the material has an impact on the qualified rate of the material after rolling.

[0038] As a further embodiment of the present invention:

[0039] Compare and analyze the area characterization value MB with the area characterization value threshold MZ;

[0040] If the area characterization value MB is less than the area characterization value threshold value MZ, it means that the target environment during the rolling of the material is in the range and the qualified rate of the material after rolling is low.

[0057] The collected data include: thickness characterization value, texture characterization value, and bonding force characterization value;

[0058] A1: Test the rolled material and obtain the collected data;

[0059] A11: The thickness of the rolled material is measured to obtain the thickness of the rolled material, and the difference between the thickness of the rolled material and the required thickness of the pole part is calculated. The ratio of the obtained difference to the thickness threshold is the thickness characterization value, and the thickness characterization value is marked as HD;

[0060] It should be noted that the thickness of the material after rolling must exceed the thickness of the required pole parts. For example, for a 3.8mm thick pole, the thickness after rolling should be between 4-5mm. The rolling temperature is: 300℃, so that the deformation of the composite material reaches 65% and the peeling force reaches 100N / mm.

[0063] A13: The peeling force of the rolled material is measured by a peeling force tester to obtain the peeling force of the rolled material. The ratio of the peeling force of the rolled material to the peeling force of the optimal rolled material is the bonding force characterization value, and the bonding force characterization value is marked as JH;

[0064] A2: Calculate acquisition parameters based on the acquired data;

[0065] The thickness characterization value HD, texture characterization value ZD, and bonding force characterization value JH are processed by the formula: JC = a 1 ×HD 2 +a 2 ×ZD+a 3 ×(1-JH) 2 , calculate the acquisition parameter JC, where a 1 、a 2 、a 3 are preset scaling factors, and are all greater than 0;

[0066] A3: Compare and analyze the collected parameters to determine whether the rolled material is qualified;

[0083] C4: Compare and analyze the area characterization values ​​to analyze the target environment range with high material qualification rate after rolling;

[0084] The area characterization value threshold is preset as MZ, and the area characterization value MB is compared and analyzed with the area characterization value threshold MZ;

[0085] If the area characterization value MB is less than the area characterization value threshold value MZ, it means that when the target environment is in this interval during the material rolling process, the qualified proportion of the rolled material is not high, that is, the qualified rate of the rolled material when the target environment is in this interval during the material rolling process is low;

[0086] If the area characterization value MB ≥ the area characterization value threshold value MZ, it means that when the target environment is in this interval during the material rolling process, the qualified proportion of the rolled material is high, that is, it is determined that the qualified rate of the rolled material when the target environment is in this interval during the material rolling is high, that is, the target environment interval with a high qualified rate of all rolled materials is the target environment range with a high qualified rate of the rolled materials;

[0087] Step 3: Rolling: Rolling the rolled material through a forming roller to form a pole aluminum boss;
