Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration and cryogenic engineering technology, and more particularly to an external cold trap for a dilution refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Dilution refrigerator is the core equipment for obtaining ultra-low temperature environment in the millikelvin (mK) temperature range, and has important applications in cutting-edge scientific fields such as quantum computing and condensed matter physics research.

[0003] Due to its structural characteristics, a dilution refrigerator has numerous micron-sized pores or capillary channels distributed internally. During actual operation, the purity of the working gas and the stability of the throttling components directly impact the refrigerator's refrigeration performance and long-term operational stability. Impure working gas can easily clog the channels in extremely low temperatures, potentially leading to refrigeration cycle failure. Therefore, a cold trap is often required in dilution refrigeration systems to maximize working gas purification.

[0004] However, traditional cold traps often fail to fully consider the structural characteristics of the dilution refrigerator itself, often resulting in low purification efficiency, easy clogging, low heat exchange efficiency, and even serious risks such as self-contamination, resulting in frequent maintenance shutdowns, which in turn affects the continuity of the dilution refrigerator's own operation and the reliability of the entire system. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop an efficient, stable, and long-maintenance external cold trap to improve the overall performance and continuous operation stability of the dilution refrigerator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The present invention provides Figure 1-6 The external cold trap for a dilution refrigerator shown in the figure includes a liquid nitrogen tank 1, a purification chamber 2 is provided inside the liquid nitrogen tank 1, and the inner cavity of the purification chamber 2 includes, from top to bottom, a separation unit 5, a purification unit 4, and a pre-cooling unit 3. A sealed top cover 13 is provided on the top of the purification chamber 2, and an air inlet pipe 6, an air outlet pipe 7, and a maintenance channel 10 are provided on the sealed top cover 13. The air inlet pipe 6 passes through the sealed top cover 13 and extends into the inner cavity of the separation unit 5.

[0038] The liquid nitrogen tank 1 is the cold source part of the cold trap. It is a cylindrical cavity as a whole and is used to contain liquid nitrogen. The upper end surface of the liquid nitrogen tank 1 is provided with an assembly port 11, which is used to connect to the purification chamber 2 or add liquid nitrogen. The top of the assembly port 11 is provided with an exhaust hole 12, which is used to discharge nitrogen generated by evaporation of liquid nitrogen to maintain pressure balance in the tank;

[0039] The bottom of the outlet pipe 7 is provided with a compressor 8 and a copper mesh filter element 9; the pre-cooling unit 3, the purification unit 4 and the separation unit 5 together form the cavity of the lower part 17 of the purification chamber. The lower part 17 of the purification chamber is a cylindrical cavity.

[0041] The precooling unit 3 is a cylindrical sponge copper with many small cavities inside. It is placed at the bottom layer of the lower part 17 of the purification chamber. The sponge copper has a porous structure and good thermal conductivity. When the gas to be purified flows through here, it can fully exchange heat with the purification chamber wall cooled by liquid nitrogen, thereby obtaining precooling.

The copper mesh filter element 9 is made of a fine copper mesh and is used to further filter out tiny solid particles that may be present in the gas, serving as the last physical barrier.

[0047] The compression device 8 is a section of circular tube, half of which has an inner hexagonal cross-section and the other half is circular. The outer portion of the circular tube corresponding to the compression device 8 is provided with threads. The compression device 8 is screwed into the inner thread of the compression device seat 16 through its outer thread, thereby pressing the copper mesh filter element 9 to the corresponding position of the sealing top cover 13 to ensure the sealing and fixation of the filter element.

[0048] The present invention also includes a method for manufacturing an external cold trap for a dilution refrigerator, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0049] S1: The liquid nitrogen tank 1 is made of a low thermal conductivity material, with a flat lower end surface and an assembly opening 11 on the upper end surface. The diameter of the assembly opening 11 is larger than the diameter of the lower portion 17 of the purification chamber, but smaller than the diameter of the sealing top cover 13. The assembly opening 11 also has a semicircular vent 12 for nitrogen pressure relief.

[0050] S2: The sealing top cover 13 is provided with a high-pressure pipe through hole 14 and a low-pressure pipe through hole 15. A compression seat 16 is welded on the bottom surface of the sealing top cover 13, which is concentric with the low-pressure pipe through hole 15.

[0051] S3: The lower portion 17 of the purification chamber is used to house the pre-cooling unit 3. The diameter of the pre-cooling unit 3 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the lower portion 17 of the purification chamber, so that the pre-cooling unit 3 and the purification chamber 2 have an interference fit. A passage is left on the pre-cooling unit 3 to pass through the air inlet pipe 6. The lower portion 17 of the purification chamber is used to house the purification unit 4. The purification unit 4 is located above the pre-cooling unit 3 and is composed of activated carbon. After the pre-cooled gas flows through the purification unit 4, impurities are removed.

[0052] S4: The final space is the separation unit 5, which is a cavity used to separate the fine activated carbon particles blown up by the gas. The air inlet pipe 6 is a clean pipe that passes through the high-pressure pipe through-hole 14 and is airtightly welded to the sealing top cover 13.

[0053] S5: The air outlet pipe 7 is welded to the through hole 15 of the low-pressure pipe, with a gap between one end and the upper end surface of the sealing top cover 13, and the other end does not pass through the sealing top cover 13; the copper mesh filter element 9 is assembled in the compressor seat 16, and is pressed against the sealing top cover 13 after being screwed into the compressor seat 16; the compressor 8 is a section of circular tube, half of whose channel cross-section is hexagonal and the other half is circular, and a thread is left on part of the length outside the circular tube.

[0054] During operation, the gas to be purified enters through the inlet pipe 6, first passing through the pre-cooling unit 3 to cool and decelerate, then flows through the purification unit 4 where impurities are adsorbed by the activated carbon, then passes through the separation unit 5 to remove any possible particulate matter, and finally, after further filtration through the copper mesh filter element 9, the clean gas is output through the outlet pipe 7. The entire purification chamber 2 is cooled by the liquid nitrogen tank 1, maintaining a low temperature environment to improve adsorption efficiency. This provides an external cold trap with optimized structure, high purification efficiency, excellent heat exchange performance, and effective self-contamination prevention, which is used to improve the overall performance of the dilution refrigerator and ensure its continuous operation and stability.
