[0022] The following describes a vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 for a nuclear fusion device according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 for a nuclear fusion device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: two groups of panel assemblies 100 and a cooling assembly 200.
[0024] Among them, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, two sets of panel assemblies 100 are arranged in a pole-like direction. Each set of panel assemblies 100 includes an inner panel 110 and an outer panel assembly 120. The inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120 surround each other in a circumferential direction. The outer panel assembly 120 includes a first outer panel 121 and a second outer panel 122 arranged in a pole-like direction. In other words, each set of panel assemblies 100 is split into the inner panel 110, the first outer panel 121, and the second outer panel 122, which can improve the installation convenience of the panel assembly 100, thereby improving the installation convenience of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0025] In some embodiments, the inner panel 110 , the first outer panel 121 , and the second outer panel 122 are all 316LN stainless steel heat receiving plates, which is beneficial for ensuring the heat shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 .
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each set of panel assemblies 100 is equipped with two sets of cooling assemblies 200. One set of cooling assemblies 200 circumferentially surrounds the outer periphery of the first outer panel 121 and the inner panel 110, while the other set of cooling assemblies 200 circumferentially surrounds the outer periphery of the second outer panel 122 and the inner panel 110. Each set of cooling assemblies 200 includes a plurality of cooling pipes 210, which are arranged in a polar-spaced arrangement and are suitable for being filled with a cooling medium. In other words, a separate cooling assembly 200 is provided on each of the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, so that a set of cooling assemblies 200 only covers the first outer panel 121 and the inner panel 110, or only covers the second outer panel 122 and the inner panel 110, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the cooling assemblies 200.
[0027] At the same time, by configuring each group of cooling components 200 to include multiple cooling pipes 210, and configuring the multiple cooling pipes 210 to be arranged in a polar direction, not only can the cooling components 200 be arranged at a high density on the panel component 100, but the cooling components 200 can also be arranged evenly, which is beneficial to improving the thermal shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 and ensuring the thermal stability of the superconducting system.
[0028] In some embodiments, the cooling medium is 80K supercritical helium, which can flow in the cooling assembly 200 to achieve efficient heat shielding, thereby improving the heat shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0029] As can be seen from the above structure, the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 for a nuclear fusion device according to an embodiment of the present invention takes into account installation convenience, thermal uniformity, and cooling efficiency to ensure the working performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 and improve the heat load shielding capability of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0030] In a specific example, the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 of the present application has a heat shielding efficiency of more than 95%, which can effectively control the heat flux in the superconducting coil area to .
[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each cooling assembly 200 includes two cooling pipes 210, and the two cooling pipes 210 are arranged in a polar direction at intervals. The two cooling pipes 210 cooperate to ensure that the cooling assembly 200 is arranged densely and evenly on the panel assembly 100, while also reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0032] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each cooling line 210 includes a first cooling line 211 and a second cooling line 212. The first cooling line 211 is provided on the inner panel 110, and the second cooling line 212 is provided on the outer panel assembly 120. The first cooling line 211 and the second cooling line 212 are connected by a connecting pipe. In other words, the first cooling line 211 and the second cooling line 212 are connected in a coordinated manner, so that the cooling line 210 can be circumferentially encircled around the outer periphery of the panel assembly 100, ensuring the coverage area of the cooling line 210.
[0033] At the same time, by arranging the first cooling pipeline 211 and the second cooling pipeline 212 to be connected through a connecting pipe, the difficulty of connecting the first cooling pipeline 211 and the second cooling pipeline 212 can be reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the cooling pipeline 210.
[0034] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooling pipe 210 has a first portion 213 and a second portion 214 arranged in a poloidal direction, and the first portion 213 and the second portion 214 are interconnected at their ends in the circumferential direction. It should be noted that this refers to each cooling pipe 210 having a first portion 213 and a second portion 214 arranged in a poloidal direction. The first portion 213 and the second portion 214 cooperate to increase the coverage area of the cooling pipe 210 on the panel assembly 100, thereby increasing the arrangement density of the cooling assembly 200 on the panel assembly 100, which is beneficial for improving the thermal shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 and ensuring the thermal stability of the superconducting system.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, in each group of cooling components 200, two cooling pipes 210 are arranged in a sleeve, so that the cooling components 200 are not only arranged at a high density on the panel component 100, but also arranged evenly, thereby improving the thermal shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, both the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120 have a connecting flange 130, wherein a portion of the cooling pipe 210 is arranged around the connecting flange 130. The provision of the connecting flange 130 facilitates the installation of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 and reduces the difficulty of assembling the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0037] At the same time, since the connecting flange 130 has a certain thickness and a large heat storage capacity, by arranging a part of the cooling pipe 210 around the connecting flange 130, the cooling medium in the cooling pipe 210 can be used to cool the connecting flange 130, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the panel assembly 100, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, in each cooling assembly 200 , a portion of the two cooling pipes 210 are disposed around the connecting flange 130 to enhance the cooling effect on the connecting flange 130 .
[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, on the outer panel assembly 120, another portion of the cooling pipe 210 has at least one bend 215 and at least one straight segment 216. The bend 215 connects to the straight segment 216, and multiple locations of the straight segment 216 are fixedly connected to the outer panel assembly 120. This means that in the same cooling pipe 210, a portion of the cooling pipe 210 is arranged around the connecting flange 130, and another portion of the cooling pipe 210 not arranged around the connecting flange 130 has at least one bend 215 and at least one straight segment 216. By providing the bend 215, the extension length of the cooling pipe 210 can be increased by utilizing the bend 215, which facilitates increasing the coverage area of the cooling pipe 210 on the panel assembly 100, further allowing the cooling assembly 200 to be arranged at a high density on the panel assembly 100, which is beneficial to improving the thermal shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0040] In a specific example, the bending portion 215 is used to change the extension direction of the cooling pipe 210 , thereby increasing the extension length of the cooling pipe 210 .
[0041] At the same time, by setting the cooling pipe 210 to be formed as a straight section 216, on the one hand, it is convenient to further increase the extension length of the cooling pipe 210 through the straight section 216, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to use the straight section 216 to realize the fixed connection between the cooling pipe 210 and the outer panel assembly 120, so that the cooling pipe 210 can be stably connected to the outer panel assembly 120, thereby improving the position stability of the cooling pipe 210. Moreover, since the straight section 216 is set away from the connecting flange 130, the above setting can also reduce the difficulty of fixed connection between the cooling pipe 210 and the outer panel assembly 120.
[0042] It is worth noting that the present application fixes the straight section 216 to the outer panel assembly 120 at multiple locations, which can improve the connection strength between the cooling pipe 210 and the outer panel assembly 120 and further improve the position stability of the cooling pipe 210.
[0043] In some embodiments, the cooling line 210 is welded to the outer panel assembly 120 .
[0044] It should be noted that the cooling pipe 210 arranged around the connecting flange 130 can also be fixedly connected to the panel assembly 100, which is not described in detail in this application.
[0045] It should also be noted that, since the straight section 216 is arranged away from the connecting flange 130, by fixedly connecting the straight section 216 to the outer panel assembly 120, it is also convenient to correct the panel assembly 100 after the connection is in place, thereby reducing the deformation of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 and improving the structural reliability of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, on the outer panel assembly 120, another part of the cooling pipe 210 has multiple bends 215 and multiple straight segments 216. The combination of the multiple bends 215 can further increase the extension length of the cooling pipe 210, and the combination of the multiple straight segments 216 is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the cooling pipe 210 and the outer panel assembly 120.
[0047] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0048] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, each cooling line 210 has an inlet 217 and an outlet 218. In the height direction of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000, the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 are both arranged near the top of the panel assembly 100. By configuring each cooling line 210 with an inlet 217 and an outlet 218, the cooling medium can be transported into the cooling line 210 through the inlet 217, and the cooling medium in the cooling line 210 can be discharged, thereby achieving a circulating flow of the cooling medium.
[0049] At the same time, by arranging both the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 close to the top of the panel assembly 100, on the one hand, interference between the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 and the structural parts at the bottom of the panel assembly 100 is avoided, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the vacuum chamber cold shield module 100; on the other hand, it is also convenient to connect the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 to the external main line, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the external main line with the cooling pipe 210.
[0050] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, one of the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 is provided on the inner panel 110 and close to the outer panel assembly 120, while the other is provided on the outer panel assembly 120 and close to the inner panel 110. This allows the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 of the cooling line 210 to be provided close to each other, further reducing the difficulty of connecting the external main line with the cooling line 210.
[0051] In a specific example, combining Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the inlet 217 is provided on the inner panel 110 and is disposed close to the outer panel assembly 120 , and the outlet 218 is provided on the outer panel assembly 120 and is disposed close to the inner panel 110 .
[0052] Of course, in some other embodiments, the outlet 218 may be disposed on the inner panel 110 and close to the outer panel assembly 120 , while the inlet 217 may be disposed on the outer panel assembly 120 and close to the inner panel 110 .
[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, in the panel assembly 100, the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 of the cooling pipe 210 are both arranged near the polar end of the panel assembly 100. This allows the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 of one set of cooling assemblies 200 on the panel assembly 100 to be arranged away from the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 of the other set of cooling assemblies 200, thereby forming a larger installation space between the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 of one set of cooling assemblies 200 and the inlet 217 and the outlet 218 of the other set of cooling assemblies 200, thereby facilitating the installation of magnets on the periphery of the panel assembly 100 and reducing the difficulty of installing the magnets.
[0054] In some embodiments, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel assembly 100 further includes a positioning block 140, which is used to achieve positioning and matching between the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120. This reduces the difficulty of assembling the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120, thereby facilitating the assembly of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a first positioning groove 111 is provided on the inner panel 110, a second positioning groove 1211 is provided on the first outer panel 121, and a third positioning groove is provided on the second outer panel 122. The first positioning groove 111, the second positioning groove 1211 and the third positioning groove are arranged adjacent to each other, and positioning columns 150 are provided in the first positioning groove 111, the second positioning groove 1211 and the third positioning groove. A positioning hole 141 is provided on the positioning block 140, and the positioning block 140 is arranged in the first positioning groove 111, the second positioning groove 1211 and the third positioning groove, and the positioning column 150 is positioned and fitted in the positioning hole 141. This enables the positioning block 140 to be positioned and matched with the inner panel 110, the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, making it easier to use the positioning block 140 to achieve the matching connection between the inner panel 110, the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, thereby achieving the matching connection between the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120, and reducing the difficulty of assembling the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0056] In the description of the present invention, features defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without any distinction in order or importance.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120, and the two sets of panel assemblies 100 are all fixedly connected by a plurality of spaced fasteners. This allows the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 to be circumferentially formed into a single unit, thereby improving the structural reliability of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 and reducing local thermal deformation of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000, thereby making the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 highly adaptable to high-temperature cycles.
[0058] In some embodiments, the fastener is a bolt.
[0059] In a specific example, during the process of cooling from 300K to 80K through the above connection method, the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 can automatically adjust and absorb the thermal deformation, thereby reducing the thermal stress by more than 40%.
[0060] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, insulating members 160 are provided between the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, between the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120, and between the two groups of panel assemblies 100, so that physical gaps exist between the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, between the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120, and between the two groups of panel assemblies 100, thereby preventing the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 from forming a current closed loop as a whole, reducing electromagnetic interference and local heating caused by induced current, and increasing the electromagnetic safety of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0061] In other words, the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 adopts a non-closed conductive structure, which effectively avoids the formation of a circular eddy current path.
[0062] In a specific example, by providing an insulating member 160 between the first outer panel 121 and the second outer panel 122, between the inner panel 110 and the outer panel assembly 120, and between the two groups of panel assemblies 100, the induced current density of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 can be reduced by more than 80%, thereby avoiding structural damage and local thermal runaway of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0063] In some embodiments, the insulating member 160 is made of glass fiber cloth (eg, G11 or G10) to ensure the insulation performance of the insulating member 160 and achieve electromagnetic decoupling of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 .
[0064] In summary, the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000 of the present application takes into account thermal uniformity and cooling efficiency, induced eddy current limitation under electromagnetic disturbance, module installation convenience and thermal expansion accommodation capacity to ensure the working performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000.
[0065] The following describes a cold shield for a vacuum chamber according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] As can be seen from the above structure, the vacuum chamber cold shield of the embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the aforementioned vacuum chamber cold shield module 1000, is conducive to improving the installation portability and thermal shielding performance of the vacuum chamber cold shield, and ensuring the thermal stability of the superconducting system.
