Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, energy is one of the most critical issues that humanity must address in its development, and it is also the root cause of competition and conflict among nations. Nuclear fusion, as a new type of highly efficient and clean energy source, is widely considered the ultimate solution to humanity's energy problems. Therefore, controlled nuclear fusion is an important area of ​​research and exploration actively pursued by countries around the world. Controlled nuclear fusion utilizes a fusion device called a tokamak to magnetically confine high-temperature plasma, causing the plasma to undergo a fusion reaction in a vacuum chamber, releasing enormous amounts of energy, which is then converted and ultimately used by humanity.

[0003] In the construction of a tokamak fusion device, the correct installation of the main unit is fundamental to its operation and maintenance. During operation, the vacuum chamber cold shield, a crucial component, is essential for preventing the TF magnet (superconducting magnet) from losing quench. However, the segmented and sector-based design of the vacuum chamber cold shield necessitates different fixing methods at different installation stages. Therefore, preventing interference between the vacuum chamber cold shield and other components, ensuring the cold shield assembly meets design requirements, and ultimately achieving proper closure of the cold shield have become pressing issues that need to be addressed.

[0026] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 This invention describes a method for assembling pre-assembled components of a nuclear fusion device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the assembly method of the pre-assembled components of the nuclear fusion device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pre-assembled component 100 comprising a vacuum chamber 10, a window neck tube in the vacuum chamber, a vacuum chamber cold screen 30, and a TF magnet 20. The vacuum chamber cold screen 30 includes an inner sector 31, an outer sector 32, and a middle window segment 33. The assembly method of the pre-assembled components of the nuclear fusion device includes: Step S1: Hoist the cold screen inner sector segment 31 to the high field side 10a of the vacuum chamber 10, and support it between the cold screen inner sector segment 31 and the vacuum chamber 10 using the first fixture 200 to maintain the gap between the cold screen inner sector segment 31 and the vacuum chamber 10 (see reference). Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first fixture 200 can adjust the distance between the cold screen inner segment 31 and the vacuum chamber 10, thereby adjusting the gap between the cold screen inner segment 31 and the vacuum chamber 10 and preventing damage caused by mutual collision. The structure and operation of the first fixture 200 can be referred to the support device in patent application number 202511069839.5, and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Step S2: Hoist the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen to the low field side 10b of the vacuum chamber 10, and support it between the outer fan segment 32 and the vacuum chamber 10 using the first tooling 200 to maintain the gap between the outer fan segment 32 and the vacuum chamber 10. At the same time, connect the outer fan segment 32 and the inner fan segment 31 of the cold screen to assemble the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 (see reference). Figure 1 and Figure 2 Similarly, the first tooling 200 can adjust the outer fan section 32 of the cold screen to move closer to or further away from the vacuum chamber 10, so as to adjust the gap between the outer fan section 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10, and prevent the inner fan section 31 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10 from colliding with each other and causing damage.

[0029] Step S3: Hoist the TF magnet 20 onto the outside of the vacuum chamber cold shield 30. Connect the TF magnet 20 and the middle window position 325 of the vacuum chamber 10 through the second fixture 300. Connect the upper arc section 321 of the outer fan section 32 of the cold shield and the hoisting fixture 600 of the TF magnet 20 through the third fixture 400. Connect the lower window section 326 of the outer fan section 32 of the cold shield and the second fixture 300 through the third fixture 400 to maintain the gap between the vacuum chamber cold shield 30 and the TF magnet 20 (see...). Figure 3 ).

[0030] The third tooling 400 can adjust the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 to move closer to or further away from the TF magnet 20, so as to maintain the gap between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20, avoid interference between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and other components, and prevent the TF magnet 20 from losing quench.

[0031] The structure and operation of the second tooling 300 in the above steps can be referenced to the fixing device for nuclear fusion pre-assembly components in patent application number 202511089790.X, and will not be repeated here. The third tooling 400 can refer to a tooling mechanism that provides tensioning; exemplarily, the third tooling 400 can be a turnbuckle. The two ends of the third tooling 400 can be connected to corresponding components, thereby maintaining the gap between the vacuum chamber cold shield 30 and the TF magnet 20. (Refer to...) Figure 7 When the third tooling 400 is a turnbuckle, it may include a sleeve 401, a first screw 402, a second screw 403, a first connecting seat 404, and a second connecting seat 405. The first screw 402 is screwed to the sleeve 401 and hinged to the first connecting seat 404. The second screw 403 is screwed to the sleeve 401 and hinged to the second connecting seat 405. The first connecting seat 404 and the second connecting seat 405 are used to connect corresponding components.

[0032] Step S4: Connect the window neck tube in the vacuum chamber to the vacuum chamber 10, and fit the middle window segment 33 onto the outside of the window neck tube in the vacuum chamber and connect it to the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen. Connect the middle window segment 33 and the ring field magnet support base through the fourth fixture 500 so that the ring field magnet support base supports the middle window segment 33 in the vertical direction. The structure of the fourth fixture 500 can refer to the third fixture 400, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 6 The window neck tube (not shown in the figure) in the vacuum chamber can refer to a component located within the middle window section 33 and connected to the vacuum chamber 10. The annular field magnet support can be a component (not shown in the figure) disposed above the middle window section 33, and the annular field magnet support is a support component used to fix the TF magnet 20.

[0034] According to the assembly method of the pre-assembled components of the nuclear fusion device according to the embodiments of the present invention, the vacuum chamber 10, the vacuum chamber cold screen 30, and the TF magnet 20 can be well fixed together during the sequential assembly process by using the first tooling 200, the second tooling 300, the third tooling 400, and the fourth tooling 500. During the assembly process, a certain gap is maintained between the components to avoid interference between the components, ensure the stability and functionality of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30, and thus prevent the TF magnet 20 from quenching. This can improve the installation reliability of the pre-assembled components 100 and facilitate the closing of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 The step of supporting the cold screen inner sector 31 and the vacuum chamber 10 by the first tooling 200 includes: setting multiple first tooling 200s on both sides of the width direction of the cold screen inner sector 31 and between the vacuum chamber 10, and the multiple first tooling 200s are spaced apart along the height direction of the cold screen inner sector 31.

[0036] The number of the first fixture 200 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, etc. The width direction of the cold screen inner sector 31 can be referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The left and right directions. The height direction of the inner fan segment 31 of the cold screen can be referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The up and down directions.

[0037] In the above technical solution, the arrangement of multiple first tooling 200 can prevent the cold screen sector 31 or vacuum chamber 10 from drooping or tilting due to gravity, so that the gap between the cold screen sector 31 and vacuum chamber 10 remains uniform, thereby avoiding interference between the cold screen sector 31 and vacuum chamber 10 and ensuring the reliability of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 The step of supporting the outer fan section 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10 by the first tooling 200 includes: Multiple first tooling 200s are provided on both sides of the upper arc segment 321 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and between the vacuum chamber 10. Multiple first tooling 200s are provided on both sides of the width direction of the lower arc segment 322 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and between the vacuum chamber 10. Multiple first tooling 200s are provided on both sides of the width direction of the outer arc section 323 of the outer fan section 32 of the cold screen and between the vacuum chamber 10. Multiple first tooling 200s are provided between the upper window 324 and the middle window position 325 of the outer sector 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10.

[0039] For example, refer to Figure 1 Six first tooling fixtures 200 are provided between the upper arc segment 321 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10 on both sides of the width direction. Nine first tooling fixtures 200 are provided between the lower arc segment 322 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10 on both sides of the width direction. Four first tooling fixtures 200 are provided between the outer arc segment 323 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10 on both sides of the width direction. Four first tooling fixtures 200 are provided between the upper window 324 and the middle window position 325 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10.

[0040] In the above technical solution, by setting multiple first tooling 200 between the upper arc segment 321, lower arc segment 322, outer arc segment 323, upper window 324 and middle window position 325 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10, a certain gap can be maintained between each part of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10, thereby improving the relative positional accuracy between each part of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10, further avoiding interference between the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the vacuum chamber 10, and ensuring the reliability of the pre-assembled component 100.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 The steps of connecting the upper arc segment 321 of the outer fan section 32 of the cold screen and the hoisting fixture of the TF magnet 20 through the third fixture 400 include: A third fixture 400 is set between the upper arc segment 321 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the hoisting fixture of the TF magnet 20 on both sides of the width direction. A third fixture 400 is set between the window position of the upper arc segment 321 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen (i.e., the upper window 324 mentioned above) and the hoisting fixture of the TF magnet 20.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the layout of the third tooling 400 can ensure that a uniform gap is formed between the upper arc segment 321 of the cold screen outer fan segment 32 and the TF magnet 20, thereby avoiding interference between the upper arc segment 321 of the cold screen outer fan segment 32 and the TF magnet 20, thus preventing the TF magnet 20 from losing its quench and improving the reliability of the pre-assembled component 100.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 The step of connecting the lower window segment 326 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen and the second tooling 300 through the third tooling 400 includes: setting the third tooling 400 between the second tooling 300 and both sides of the lower window segment 326 of the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen in the width direction.

[0044] In the above technical solution, the third tooling 400 can adjust the distance between the two sides of the lower window segment 326 of the cold screen outer sector segment 32 and the second tooling 300 in the width direction, so that the lower window segment 326 of the cold screen outer sector segment 32 as a whole forms a uniform gap with the TF magnet 20, avoids interference between the lower window segment 326 of the cold screen outer sector segment 32 and the TF magnet 20, further ensures the performance of the cold screen outer sector segment 32, avoids the TF magnet 20 from losing its quench, and improves the reliability of the pre-assembled component 100.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 7 The third tooling 400 is configured with an adjustable extension length. It is understood that the third tooling 400 can be, but is not limited to, turnbuckles, rigging, etc. When the third tooling 400 is a turnbuckle, its structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0046] In the above technical solution, the third tooling 400 is configured with an adjustable stretch length, which can flexibly adjust the distance between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20, and can be adjusted multiple times according to the needs of the site to maintain the gap between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20, and ensure the installation accuracy of the pre-assembled component 100.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the assembly method of the pre-assembled components of the nuclear fusion device further includes: measuring the gap between the vacuum chamber cold shield 30 and the TF magnet 20, and adjusting the length of the third tooling 400.

[0048] In the above technical solution, by measuring the gap between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20, it is possible to check in a timely manner whether the gap deviates from the expected value. The length of the third tooling 400 can be adjusted according to the measurement results, and the tension can be adjusted to make slight adjustments to the gap. This ensures that the gap between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20 meets the design requirements during the load transfer process. Then, the vacuum chamber cold screen 30, together with the vacuum chamber 10 and the TF magnet 20, is hoisted into the main unit hall as a whole, further ensuring the reliability of the pre-installed component 100.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 6 and Figure 11 The step of connecting the middle window segment 33 and the annular field magnet support through the fourth tooling 500 includes: setting the fourth tooling 500 between the two sides of the middle window segment 33 in the width direction and between the annular field magnet support.

[0050] In the above technical solution, by setting a fourth tooling 500 between the two sides of the width direction of the middle window segment 33 and the annular field magnet support, the middle window segment 33 can be connected to the annular field magnet support on both sides, thereby improving the support stability. Since the middle window segment 33 is connected to the outer fan segment 32 of the cold screen, the load of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 can act on the annular field magnet support. When the vacuum chamber cold screens 30 of the two adjacent fan-shaped pre-assembled components 100 are closed, the first tooling 200 on both sides of the width direction of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 can be removed to prevent the first tooling 200 from affecting the closure of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30. At the same time, the overall load of the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 can act on the annular field magnet support to ensure the gap between the vacuum chamber cold screen 30, the TF magnet 20, and the vacuum chamber 10.

[0051] When multiple pre-assembled components 100 are joined together to form a ring structure, refer to Figure 11 The width of the middle window segment 33 of multiple pre-assembled components 100 is supported on both sides of the annular field magnet support by the fourth tooling 500. Multiple vacuum chamber cold screens 30 are spliced ​​in sequence, so that the annular vacuum chamber cold screen 30 can be supported on multiple annular field magnet support by multiple middle window segments 33, thereby ensuring that a certain gap is always maintained between the annular vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the vacuum chamber 10 and TF magnet 20.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fourth tooling 500 is configured with an adjustable extension length. The structure of the fourth tooling 500 can refer to that of the third tooling 400, for example, it can be a turnbuckle. By making the extension length of the fourth tooling 500 adjustable, the supporting force between the middle window segment 33 and the annular field magnet support can be adjusted according to the needs of the site, preventing loosening between the middle window segment 33 and the annular field magnet support, and better supporting the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 as a whole on the annular field magnet support.

[0053] refer to Figure 12 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the installation method of a nuclear fusion device includes a plurality of pre-installed components 100, which are spliced ​​together in a ring structure along the circumferential direction. The installation method of the nuclear fusion device includes: Step S201: Assemble multiple pre-assembled components 100 using the assembly method of pre-assembled components of nuclear fusion device as described in any of the embodiments above, and hoist the multiple pre-assembled components 100 to the main hall. Step S202: Remove the first tooling 200 on both sides of the width direction of the pre-assembled component 100; Step S203: Assemble multiple pre-assembled components 100 into a ring structure. During this process, the first fixture 200 between the vacuum chamber 10 and the vacuum chamber cold shield 30, and the third fixture 400 between the vacuum chamber cold shield 30 and the TF magnet 20, can be removed as needed. If the two fan-shaped vacuum chamber cold shields 30 can be stably supported on the ring field magnet support, the aforementioned fixtures can be removed. If the vacuum chamber cold shield 30 cannot be stably supported on the ring field magnet support, the next fan-shaped pre-assembled component 100 can be assembled. After verifying that the vacuum chamber cold shield 30 can be stably supported on the ring field magnet support, the option to remove the fixture from the previous pre-assembled component 100 is selected.

[0054] According to the installation method of the nuclear fusion device of the present invention, multiple pre-assembled components 100 are assembled by using the assembly method of pre-assembled components of the nuclear fusion device, and the multiple pre-assembled components 100 are hoisted to the main hall; the first tooling 200 on both sides of the width direction of the pre-assembled components 100 is removed; the multiple pre-assembled components 100 are spliced ​​into a ring structure. In this way, during the process of splicing the multiple pre-assembled components 100 into a ring structure, a good gap is ensured between the vacuum chamber 10, the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20, effectively preventing mutual contact between the vacuum chamber 10, the vacuum chamber cold screen 30 and the TF magnet 20, thereby improving the installation reliability of the nuclear fusion device.
