Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a copper pin for a lithium battery in a new energy vehicle, comprising a pin body 1, the pin body 1 comprising a reinforcing metal wire 4, a high-purity electrolytic copper core 5, a first coating 6 and a second coating 7, the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5 having a reinforcing metal wire 4 inside, the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5 having a first coating 6 on its outer wall, the first coating 6 having a second coating 7 on its outer wall, the pin body 1 having a first bend 2 on its outer wall, the pin body 1 having a second bend 3 on its outer wall, the pin body 1 having a circular hole 8 on its outer wall, and a wing 9 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pin body 1, the wing 9 having a hardness test point 10 on its outer wall.

[0020] Specifically, the first bend 2 and the second bend 3 are folded twice, and after being folded inward at 90 degrees, they cannot be broken and are not transparent to light. The lead body 1 adopts a multi-layer composite structure. The innermost layer is a high-purity electrolytic copper core 5, which has extremely high conductivity. The reinforcing metal wire 4 is used to enhance the strength of the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5. The middle layer, the first coating 6, is used to improve the corrosion resistance and high hardness of the lead body 1. The outermost layer is used to enhance the wear resistance and oxidation resistance of the surface of the lead body 1. The hardness test point 10 is used to test the hardness.

[0021] Reference Figure 4 The reinforcing wire 4 is made of steel.

[0022] Specifically, the reinforcing metal wire 4 is set in the innermost layer. It is made of steel and has extremely high conductivity. The steel reinforcing metal wire 4 inside increases the strength of the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5, making it less prone to breakage and more stable.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 The first coating 6 is made of nickel alloy.

[0024] Specifically, the first coating 6 is applied to the intermediate layer and is made of nickel alloy. It has good corrosion resistance and high hardness, which can prevent the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5 from being oxidized and corroded, extend the service life of the pins, and enhance the overall mechanical strength to cope with stress changes such as thermal expansion and contraction.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 The second coating 7 is made of graphene-modified silver.

[0026] Specifically, the second coating 7 is applied to the outermost layer and is made of graphene-modified silver. The excellent conductivity and mechanical properties of graphene, combined with the silver coating, further enhance conductivity while also improving surface wear resistance and oxidation resistance.

[0027] Working principle: The pin body 1 is folded twice at the first bend 2 and the second bend 3, folding inward at 90 degrees without breaking and without allowing light to pass through. The pin body 1 adopts a multi-layer composite structure. The innermost layer is a high-purity electrolytic copper core 5, which has extremely high conductivity. The high-purity electrolytic copper core 5 is reinforced with steel wires 4 inside, which increases the strength of the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5, making it less prone to breakage and cracking, and increasing its stability. The outermost layer is a first coating 6 made of nickel alloy, which has good corrosion resistance and high hardness. On the one hand, it can prevent the high-purity electrolytic copper core 5 from being oxidized and corroded, extending the service life of the pin. On the other hand, it can enhance the mechanical strength of the pin body 1, making it better able to cope with stress changes such as thermal expansion and contraction. The outermost layer is a second coating 7, which is made of graphene-modified silver. Graphene has excellent conductivity and mechanical properties. When combined with the silver coating, it further improves the conductivity of the pin body 1, while also enhancing its surface wear resistance and oxidation resistance.
