[0002] In new energy vehicles or energy storage devices, alloy resistors are typically required for current detection. Existing alloy resistors use copper electrodes, which are soft and have low bending resistance, making them prone to deformation.
[0003] On the other hand, copper is a rare metal, and its price is affected by the international market, resulting in high production costs for electrode materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an alloy resistor based on a copper-aluminum composite electrode, which improves the electrode's resistance to deformation and reduces the manufacturing cost of the alloy resistor.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An alloy resistor based on a copper-aluminum composite electrode includes: a resistive element and two electrodes;
[0007] The two electrodes are located on opposite sides of the resistive element;
[0008] The electrode includes a copper sheet and an aluminum sheet, the copper sheet is connected to the resistive element, and the aluminum sheet is used for electrical connection with an external circuit.
[0009] The copper sheet has a first joint portion, and the aluminum sheet has a second joint portion. The first joint portion and the second joint portion are mated together and pressed together to connect the copper sheet and the aluminum sheet, forming a transition zone between the copper sheet and the aluminum sheet.
[0010] In one embodiment, the number of the first joint and the number of the second joint are both 1, and in the transition zone, the second joint rests on the first joint, or the first joint rests on the second joint.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an alloy resistor 10 based on a copper-aluminum composite electrode, which includes a resistor body 100 and two electrodes 200.
[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two electrodes 200 are located on opposite sides of the resistor 100. Each electrode 200 includes a copper sheet 210 and an aluminum sheet 220. The copper sheet 210 is connected to the resistor 100, and the aluminum sheet 220 is used for electrical connection to an external circuit. Preferably, the aluminum sheet 220 has a mounting hole 222. The aluminum sheet 220 connects to the external circuit through the mounting hole 222. The copper sheet 210 has a first joint portion 211, and the aluminum sheet 220 has a second joint portion 221. The first joint portion 211 and the second joint portion 221 are pressed together after being joined, so that the copper sheet 210 and the aluminum sheet 220 are connected together, forming a transition region 230 between the copper sheet 210 and the aluminum sheet 220.
[0037] The electrode material in existing alloy resistors is made of copper. Because copper is soft, the electrode has weak bending resistance and is easily deformed under external force. In addition, copper is a rare metal with high material price, and the purchase price is easily affected by fluctuations in the international market, resulting in high production costs for alloy resistors.
[0038] To address the aforementioned issues, this application improves the electrode 200 material by using a composite material formed from a copper sheet 210 and an aluminum sheet 220, reducing the copper content in the electrode 200 and thus saving on the production cost of the alloy resistor. Simultaneously, in the electrode 200, the aluminum sheet 220 is used for connection to the external circuit and is located on the side away from the resistor 100, i.e., the aluminum sheet 220 is located on the outer side of the electrode 200. Furthermore, the aluminum sheet 220 is harder than the copper sheet 210, and its inclusion improves the electrode 200's resistance to deformation, making it less prone to deformation during transportation and installation. Preferably, the length of the copper sheet 210 is shorter than the length of the aluminum sheet 220; that is, in the electrode 200, only the portion connected to the resistor 100 is made of copper sheet 210, while the remaining portion is made of aluminum sheet 220. Increasing the proportion of aluminum sheet 220 further reduces the manufacturing cost of the electrode 200, making the alloy resistor lighter overall.
[0039] Furthermore, due to the significant difference in melting points between the copper sheet 210 and the aluminum sheet 220, they cannot be directly welded together. To solve this technical problem, the copper sheet 210 is provided with a first joint 211, and the aluminum sheet 220 is provided with a second joint 221. The first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are pressed together to connect the copper sheet 210 and the aluminum sheet 220. After pressing, the thickness of the transition zone 230, the thickness of the copper sheet 210, and the thickness of the aluminum sheet 220 are the same.
[0040] In the transition zone 230, the first joint 211 on the copper sheet 210 extends into the aluminum sheet 220, while the second joint 221 on the aluminum sheet 220 extends into the copper sheet 210. After pressing, the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 overlap each other. The first joint 211 and the second joint 221 can be joined in various ways, as follows: Example 1:
[0041] Please see Figure 4 The number of the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 is one. In the transition zone 230, the second joint 221 rests on the first joint 211, or the first joint 211 rests on the second joint 221. In this state, the cross-sections of the copper sheet 210 and the aluminum sheet 220 are both "L" shaped.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] Please see Figure 5 The cross-sections of the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are wedge-shaped. There is one first joint 211 and two second joints 221. The first joint 211 is embedded between the two second joints 221.
[0044] Example 3:
[0045] Please see Figure 6 Both the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 have wedge-shaped cross sections. Both the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are provided in multiples. In the transition zone 230, the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are stacked alternately.
[0046] Example 4:
[0047] Please see Figure 7 The cross-sections of the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are rectangular. There is one first joint 211 and two second joints 221. The first joint 211 is embedded between the two second joints 221.
[0048] Example 5:
[0049] Please see Figure 8 Both the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 have rectangular cross-sections. Both the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are provided in multiples. In the transition zone 230, the first joint 211 and the second joint 221 are stacked alternately.
[0050] The aforementioned alloy resistor 10 based on a copper-aluminum composite electrode has the following beneficial effects:
[0051] 1. Electrode 200 is composed of copper sheet 210 and aluminum sheet 220, which reduces the material cost of electrode 200;
[0052] 2. The part of electrode 200 used for connecting with the circuit is aluminum sheet 220. Aluminum sheet 220 has better bending resistance, which makes electrode 200 in alloy resistor less prone to deformation, so that the size and shape of electrode 200 can be changed according to actual use requirements.
[0053] 3. The density of aluminum is 1 / 3 that of copper. Electrode 200 is composed of two materials: copper sheet 210 and aluminum sheet 220. Compared with the existing solution (copper), electrode 200 is lighter, making the alloy resistor more portable.
[0054] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
