Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of superconducting magnets and relates to a liquid helium-free animal imaging superconducting magnet. Background Art
[0002] Superconducting magnets are widely used in the development of medical diagnostics and scientific instruments. Superconducting MRI equipment has become one of the most popular clinical diagnostic devices in the world. However, the stable operation of superconducting MRI equipment requires maintaining a low-temperature environment. The traditional refrigeration method is liquid helium refrigeration, which consumes a large amount of liquid helium materials for long-term use and is relatively expensive.
[0003] With the continuous development of new materials and cryogenic technology in recent years, refrigerators with low cooling power can achieve low energy consumption at a temperature of 4.2K, resulting in low daily operation and maintenance costs. Using refrigerators to cool superconducting magnets can avoid the use of liquid helium. In typical superconducting magnets, the refrigerator's secondary cold head directly cools both ends of the magnet through a cold plate. However, for larger magnets, this can easily lead to uneven magnet temperatures, affecting the uniformity of the magnetic field. Optimizing the temperature distribution of the secondary refrigeration system is necessary.
[0004] CN113035486A discloses a refrigeration system for a low-temperature superconducting magnet. The refrigeration system includes a cold shield, a lead cooling channel, a cold shield cooling channel, a first liquid helium inlet, a first helium outlet, a helium tank, a liquid helium inlet pipe, and a helium outlet pipe. The cold shield is disposed outside the low-temperature superconducting coil. The helium tank is disposed between the cold shield and the low-temperature superconducting coil and does not contact either. The liquid helium inlet pipe and the helium outlet pipe are both connected to the helium tank. Liquid helium is injected into the helium tank from the first liquid helium inlet via the liquid helium inlet pipe. Helium volatilized from the helium tank is discharged from the first helium outlet via the helium outlet pipe. The lead cooling channel is connected between the helium outlet pipe and the superconducting current lead to conduct cold water to cool the superconducting current lead. The cold shield cooling channel is connected between the helium outlet pipe and the cold shield to conduct cold water to cool the cold shield. This effectively reduces the volatilization of liquid helium and reduces the risk of quenching in the low-temperature superconducting magnet.
[0005] CN202384127U discloses a cryogenic container system for a superconducting magnet with zero liquid helium consumption, providing a cryogenic container system for a superconducting magnet with zero liquid helium consumption that has good thermal insulation and can effectively improve the cooling effect of a cold head. The cryogenic container system includes an inner container base disposed on the top of the inner container, a heat exchanger mounted on the inner container base, a magnetic shield sleeved on the inner container base, an intermediate radiation-proof cold shield wrapped around the outer side of the inner container, a copper flange disposed on the top of the intermediate radiation-proof cold shield, and a cold head. The heat exchanger is located in the magnetic shield, the copper flange is located above the magnetic shield, one end of the cold head passes through the copper flange and is connected to the heat exchanger within the magnetic shield. The system also includes a lower bellows located within the magnetic shield, the lower bellows sleeved on the cold head, one end of the lower bellows is connected to the top of the copper flange, and the other end is inserted into the inner container base.
[0006] CN102436898A discloses a system for realizing a cooling method of a low-temperature superconducting magnet, comprising a liquid nitrogen filling valve, a liquid helium filling valve, a liquid nitrogen level gauge, a liquid nitrogen valve, a central hole, a helium exhaust valve, a vacuum valve, a vacuum chamber, a liquid nitrogen pipe, a liquid helium filling pipe, a helium exhaust pipe, a liquid nitrogen storage chamber, and a liquid helium storage chamber; a liquid helium storage chamber is provided at the center of a closed space, a liquid nitrogen storage chamber is provided outside the liquid helium storage chamber, and a vacuum chamber is provided at the outermost portion; an end cap is provided at the upper end of the closed space, and a A central hole is provided, through which a high-temperature superconducting wire connected to a liquid nitrogen tube and a lower end of a liquid nitrogen level gauge is inserted into a liquid helium storage chamber; a liquid nitrogen valve is provided on the liquid nitrogen tube; an end cover located in the liquid helium storage chamber is provided with a liquid helium filling valve and a liquid helium filling tube inserted into the liquid helium storage chamber, as well as a helium exhaust valve and a helium exhaust tube inserted into the liquid helium storage chamber; an end cover located in the liquid nitrogen storage chamber is provided with a liquid nitrogen filling valve, and an end cover located in the vacuum chamber is provided with a vacuum valve; and a central portion of the liquid helium storage chamber is provided with an annular groove extending toward the liquid nitrogen storage chamber.
[0007] Therefore, how to provide a magnet suitable for animal imaging that does not require the consumption of liquid nitrogen, uses a refrigerator to provide the low-temperature environment required by superconducting magnets, and ensures uniform temperature distribution in the magnetic field and low heat leakage has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a liquid helium-free superconducting magnet for animal imaging, which adopts a refrigerator for cooling and an internal cooling structure to provide the low-temperature environment required by the superconducting magnet. By arranging cooling rings and cooling belts, the temperature field inside the superconducting magnet is ensured to be uniform, thereby ensuring good magnetic field uniformity.

The cold shield is mounted in the Dewar container, and the superconducting magnet is arranged in the cold shield. The cooling structure includes a cooling ring and a cooling belt. The cooling ring is arranged around the superconducting magnet and is fixedly connected to the superconducting magnet through a support rod. The first-level cold head of the refrigerator is directly connected to the cold shield to realize first-level cooling, and the second-level cold head of the refrigerator is directly connected to the cooling ring. The cooling ring is connected to the coil of the superconducting magnet through the cooling belt to realize second-level cooling.
[0012] The superconducting magnet and the cold shield are suspended inside the Dewar container through the tie rods.
[0013] The present invention realizes primary refrigeration by directly connecting the first-stage cold head of the refrigerator to the cold shield. Furthermore, by providing a conductive cooling ring, a plurality of conductive cooling belts provided along the circumferential direction of the conductive cooling ring are utilized to connect the coils of the superconducting magnet for heat transfer, thereby realizing secondary refrigeration and realizing synchronous conductive cooling of the superconducting magnet in the circumferential direction.
