[0021] Embodiment 1 Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a continuous processing method for a copper-aluminum composite shunt provided by the present invention specifically includes the following steps: S1. Pretreat the metal strip, and the metal strip includes a copper strip, an aluminum strip, and a resistance alloy strip; S2. Weld one side of the copper strip to one side of the aluminum strip to obtain a copper-aluminum composite strip; S3. Weld the copper side of the copper-aluminum composite strip to one side of the resistance alloy strip by electron beam welding.

[0022] S1. Pre-treat the metal strip, where the metal strip includes a copper strip, an aluminum strip, and a resistance alloy strip.

[0023] In step S1, the pre-treatment of the metal strip is specifically as follows: S11. Eliminate the initial bending of the metal strip; S12. Perform surface deoxidation treatment on the metal strip.

[0024] In step S1, the resistance alloy strip is a manganin alloy strip.

[0025] In step S11, the elimination of the initial bending of the metal strip is specifically as follows: Pass the metal strip through a multi-roll straightening machine and adjust the pressure of the straightening rolls in the multi-roll straightening machine according to the material and thickness of the metal strip.

[0026] Step S11 eliminates initial deformations such as waviness and warping generated during transportation or storage, ensures the fitting accuracy of subsequent processing, reduces stress concentration caused by bending, and prevents cracking or dimensional deviation during the processing.

[0027] In step S12, the surface deoxidation treatment of the metal strip is specifically as follows: Pass the metal strip through a vacuum plasma cleaning device and set the parameters of the plasma cleaning device according to the material of the metal strip.

[0028] Step S12 uses the plasma to remove the metal surface oxides through the dual effects of physical bombardment (ion kinetic energy) and chemical reaction (gas reduction / decomposition), and there is no chemical solution residue. After the oxidation treatment, the interfacial bonding strength during subsequent lamination or welding is improved, and the decrease in conductivity or the peeling of the composite layer caused by the oxide layer is avoided.

[0029] S2. Weld one side of the copper strip to one side of the aluminum strip to obtain a copper-aluminum composite strip.

[0030] In step S2, the welding of one side of the copper strip to one side of the aluminum strip is specifically as follows: S21. Process one side of the copper strip welded to the aluminum strip into an outward convex dovetail structure to form a dovetail copper edge, and process one side of the aluminum strip welded to the copper strip into an inward concave dovetail structure to form a dovetail aluminum edge, where the outward convex dovetail structure and the inward concave dovetail structure are mutually engaged; S22. Perform an engagement welding on the dovetail copper edge and the dovetail aluminum edge to obtain a copper-aluminum composite strip.

[0031] In this solution, one side of the copper strip welded to the aluminum strip is processed into an outwardly convex dovetail structure to form a dovetail copper edge, and one side of the aluminum strip welded to the copper strip is processed into an inwardly concave dovetail structure to form a dovetail aluminum edge. The outwardly convex dovetail structure and the inwardly concave dovetail structure are mutually engaged to obtain a dovetail engagement structure. Through the combination of welding and mechanical structure, the welding firmness of the copper strip and the aluminum strip is improved, ensuring the quality of the final shunt product.

[0032] As Figure 4 shown, the mutual engagement of the outwardly convex dovetail structure and the inwardly concave dovetail structure is specifically achieved by the inclined surface of the outwardly convex dovetail structure and the inclined surface of the inwardly concave dovetail structure for inclined composite inlay.

[0033] It should be noted that the number of inward concavities of the inwardly concave dovetail structure and the number of outward protrusions of the outwardly convex dovetail structure are not limited.

[0034] S3. Weld one side of the copper edge of the copper-aluminum composite strip and one side of the resistance alloy strip by electron beam welding.

[0035] In step S3, the welding of one side of the copper edge of the copper-aluminum composite strip and one side of the resistance alloy strip by electron beam welding is specifically as follows: S31. Align and press one side of the copper edge of the copper-aluminum composite strip and one side of the resistance alloy strip as an alloy whole, and fixedly place it on the welding platform in the electron beam welding equipment; S32. Scan to obtain the first image of the alloy whole, and identify the welding gap in the first image, and obtain the welding position coordinate path according to the welding gap; S33. Obtain the thickness and material information of the metal strip on the welding position coordinate path, and optimize the electron beam welding parameters. The electron beam welding parameters include the working distance of the electron gun, the moving speed, the accelerating voltage, and the vacuum pumping rate; S34. Perform electron beam welding according to the welding position coordinate path and the optimized electron beam welding parameters.

[0036] In step S32, the first image includes the upper surface image of the alloy whole and the upper surface image of the welding platform.

[0037] In step S32, the identification of the welding gap in the first image is specifically as follows: S3211. Distinguish the welding platform area and the alloy whole area from the first image through a pre-trained first deep learning model; S3212. Obtain multiple first edge lines from the alloy whole area through an edge algorithm; S3213. Distinguish the copper area and the resistance alloy area from the alloy whole area through a pre-trained second deep learning model; S3214. Select the second edge line that is simultaneously on the copper region and the resistance alloy region from the first edge lines as the welding gap.

[0038] In this solution, by distinguishing the copper region and the resistance alloy region from the overall alloy region, and screening and identifying the welding gap from multiple first edge lines obtained by the edge algorithm according to the material regions, the accuracy of the welding position coordinate path is ensured, and thus the accuracy of the welding position is guaranteed.

[0039] In step S32, the obtaining of the welding position coordinate path according to the welding gap is specifically as follows: S3221. Obtain the welding width of the welding gap, and establish a coordinate system on the welding platform with the welding width as the unit coordinate dimension; S3222. Obtain the welding coordinates on multiple welding gaps according to the coordinate system, and form a welding position coordinate path according to the welding coordinates.

[0040] In step S33, the material information includes the thermal conductivity and melting point of the copper edge material, and the thermal conductivity and melting point of the resistance alloy material.

[0041] In step S33, the optimization of the electron beam welding parameters includes optimizing the acceleration voltage, specifically: ; ; ; ; Among them, V represents the optimized acceleration voltage, V1 represents the acceleration voltage for the copper edge material, V2 represents the acceleration voltage for the resistance alloy material, V0 represents the preset reference voltage, which is set according to the thickness on the welding position coordinate path, k1 represents the thermal conductivity of the copper edge material, k2 represents the thermal conductivity of the resistance alloy material, k represents the average thermal conductivity, represents the preset thermal conductivity compensation coefficient.

[0042] It should be noted that if V is greater than the maximum acceleration voltage Vmax of the electron beam welding equipment used, then V = Vmax; if V is less than the minimum acceleration voltage Vmin of the electron beam welding equipment used, then V = Vmin.

[0043] In electron beam welding, too high an acceleration voltage may lead to an increase in equipment cost and the need for X-ray shielding, while insufficient acceleration voltage affects the penetration ability. Therefore, this solution optimizes the acceleration voltage to balance the penetration depth, improve the welding efficiency and quality.

[0044] In step S33, the optimization of the electron beam welding parameters further includes optimizing the working distance of the electron gun, specifically: Obtain the average energy conversion efficiency and the equivalent thermal conductivity: ; ; The optimized working distance d of the electron gun is obtained by a pre-trained third deep learning model according to the average energy conversion efficiency, the equivalent thermal conductivity, the optimized acceleration voltage, and the thickness on the welding position coordinate path. The working distance of the electron gun is the vertical height from the electron gun to the interface where the welding position coordinate path is located; Among them, is expressed as the average energy conversion efficiency, is expressed as the energy conversion efficiency of the copper edge material, which characterizes the absorption ability of the electron beam energy, is expressed as the energy conversion efficiency of the resistance alloy material, k3 is expressed as the equivalent thermal conductivity, k1 is expressed as the thermal conductivity of the copper edge material, k2 is expressed as the thermal conductivity of the resistance alloy material, t1 is expressed as the melting point of the copper edge material, and t2 is expressed as the melting point of the resistance alloy material.

[0045] The third deep learning model is trained using a large number of different welding test data with qualified welding quality, including single materials, corresponding energy conversion efficiency, thermal conductivity, acceleration voltage, welding thickness, and corresponding working distances of the electron gun as the training set. The input parameters include energy conversion efficiency, thermal conductivity, acceleration voltage, and welding thickness, and the output parameter is the working distance of the electron gun.

[0046] In electron beam welding, if the working distance of the electron gun is too large, the probability of collision between the electron beam and residual gas molecules during transmission will increase, causing scattering, reducing the energy concentration, which will reduce the weld penetration depth, increase the weld width, and even cause incomplete penetration defects. If the beam spot diameter is too small or the focusing current is too high, it is easy to cause electron beam deviation or jitter, affecting the welding accuracy; In this solution, the working distance of the electron gun is optimized according to the optimized acceleration voltage. By matching the acceleration voltage with the working distance of the electron gun, the adaptability of the working distance of the electron gun is improved, the focusing performance of the electron beam is significantly improved, and the electron beam deviation or jitter is suppressed, further improving the welding quality.

[0047] In step S33, the optimization of the electron beam welding parameters further includes optimizing the welding speed of the electron gun, specifically: ; Among them, v represents the optimized electron gun welding speed, v0 represents the preset initial electron gun welding speed, V represents the optimized acceleration voltage, V0 represents the preset reference voltage, d0 represents the preset initial electron gun working distance, d represents the optimized electron gun working distance, and a represents the preset correction factor.

[0048] In electron beam welding, if the electron gun welding speed is too high, it will reduce the energy input per unit length, resulting in insufficient penetration depth and reducing the weld formation quality. If it is too low, it will cause heat accumulation, leading to burn-through of thin plates or deformation of workpieces due to local overheating.

[0049] In this solution, the electron gun welding speed is optimized according to the optimized acceleration voltage and the optimized electron gun working distance to achieve a dynamic balance among energy input, heat distribution, and production efficiency, ensuring welding quality while improving welding efficiency.

[0050] The acceleration voltage affects the kinetic energy of the electron beam. When the voltage increases, the energy input to the workpiece per unit time increases. In this solution, the optimized acceleration voltage is used as the numerator. When the acceleration voltage increases, the welding speed is increased to shorten the energy action time and avoid overheating of the molten pool due to excessive energy. When the electron gun working distance increases, the diameter of the electron beam spot linearly increases, resulting in the beam spot area expanding at a square rate. The energy density of the electron beam is inversely proportional to the electron gun working distance. To maintain the energy density required for penetration, the speed needs to be reduced to extend the energy action time. Therefore, in this solution, the optimized electron gun working distance is used as the denominator.

[0051] It should be noted that if v is greater than the maximum moving speed vmax of the electron gun of the electron beam welding equipment used, then v = vmax; if v is less than the minimum moving speed vmin of the electron gun of the electron beam welding equipment used, then v = vmin.

[0053] The metal strip includes a copper strip, an aluminum strip, and a resistance alloy strip; the resistance alloy strip is a manganese copper alloy strip.

[0054] The pretreatment of the metal strip specifically includes: eliminating the initial bending of the metal strip and performing surface deoxidation treatment on the metal strip.

[0055] The elimination of the initial bending of the metal strip is specifically: Pass the metal strip through a multi-roll straightening machine and adjust the pressure of the straightening rolls in the multi-roll straightening machine according to the material and thickness of the metal strip.

[0056] The surface deoxidation treatment of the metal strip is specifically: Pass the metal strip through a vacuum plasma cleaning device and set the parameters of the plasma cleaning device according to the material of the metal strip.

[0058] The welding of the copper edge of the copper-aluminum composite strip to one side of the resistance alloy strip by electron beam welding is specifically: Align and press the copper edge of the copper-aluminum composite strip and one side of the resistance alloy strip as the entire alloy, and fixedly place it on the welding platform in the electron beam welding equipment; Scan to obtain a first image of the entire alloy, identify the welding seam in the first image, and obtain the welding position coordinate path based on the welding seam; Obtain the thickness and material information on the welding position coordinate path, and optimize the electron beam welding parameters.

[0059] The first image includes an upper surface image of the entire alloy and an upper surface image of the welding platform.

A second edge line located on both the copper region and the resistance alloy region is selected from the first edge lines as a welding gap.

[0061] The welding position coordinate path is obtained according to the welding gap, specifically: Obtain the welding width of the welding gap and use the welding width as the unit coordinate size to establish a coordinate system on the welding platform; The welding coordinates on the plurality of welding gaps are obtained according to the coordinate system, and the welding position coordinate path is formed according to the welding coordinates.

[0062] The material information includes the thermal conductivity and melting point of the copper edge material, and the thermal conductivity and melting point of the resistance alloy material.

[0063] The optimization of electron beam welding parameters includes optimizing the acceleration voltage, optimizing the electron gun working distance, and optimizing the electron gun welding speed, and the specific method is consistent with the above method embodiment.

[0067] It should be noted that the number of concavities of the concave dovetail structure and the number of convexities of the convex dovetail structure are not limited.
