[0035] Reference Figure 1 For example, the arc-shaped superconducting magnet magnetic field measurement system can comprise a cryostat 1, a motion track 2, a driving component 3, a measuring device 4 and an adjusting device 5.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cryostat 1 is circular in cross section in the first direction, and is arranged in an arc shape along the third direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the ground, the second direction is the same as the bending radius of the cryostat 1, the third direction is along the length direction of the cryostat 1, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the top of the cryostat 1 is symmetrically provided with two refrigerators 12; two spaced apart bases are placed on the ground, and the upper part of the base is provided with a supporting groove for placing the cryostat 1.

[0037] Figure 2 The structure of the adjusting device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the motion track 2 slides through the room temperature hole 11, the motion track 2 is arranged in an arc shape, and the motion track 2 is the same as the bending radius of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be tested.

[0039] In some embodiments, the motion track 2 can be provided in one section.

[0040] In other embodiments, the motion track 2 is provided in multiple sections, and the adjacent two motion tracks 2 are fixedly connected through the connecting piece 6.

[0041] The connecting piece 6 is a connecting plate 61, which is located on the upper surface of the motion track 2. Two groups of threaded holes are provided on the connecting plate 61, each group has a plurality of threaded holes, and the threaded holes in each group are uniformly and spacedly arranged along the bending direction of the motion track 2. The threaded holes in each group are located above the adjacent two motion tracks 2, respectively. Threaded grooves are provided on the motion track 2 corresponding to the threaded holes, and fixed bolts 62 are threadedly assembled in the threaded holes. By screwing the fixed bolts 62 into the threaded grooves, the adjacent two motion tracks 2 can be connected and fixed, so as to ensure the splicing accuracy of the plurality of motion tracks 2.

[0042] For example, the motion track 2 can be provided with three sections, and the three sections of the motion track 2 are spliced with each other to jointly form the motion track 2 with the same bending radius as the bending radius of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured.

[0043] It should be noted that the number of spliced motion tracks 2 is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and different numbers of motion tracks 2 can be spliced according to actual manufacturing needs.

[0044] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the adjusting device 5 is used to adjust the height of the motion track 2 in the first direction, so as to level the motion track 2 and keep the measuring device 4 on the motion track 2 at the same height as the central axis of the room temperature hole 11.

[0045] Among them, the adjusting device 5 is provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of adjusting devices 5 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the motion track 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the adjusting device 5 includes a first scissor lift 51 and a plurality of pulleys 52.

[0047] Specifically, the first scissor lift 51 is fixed to the ground, wherein the first scissor lift 51 is manually adjusted, and in other embodiments, the first scissor lift 51 can also be electrically adjusted. The motion track 2 is slidingly arranged on the top of the first scissor lift 51, and the sliding direction is consistent with the bending direction of the motion track 2. By manually adjusting and retracting the first scissor lift 51, the height position of the motion track 2 in the first direction can be fixed. The plurality of pulleys 52 are arranged on the top of the first scissor lift 51, and the rotation axes of the pulleys 52 are arranged along the first direction. The plurality of pulleys 52 are respectively located on both sides of the motion track 2, and the pulleys 52 are provided with circumferentially arranged grooves in the middle. The side edges of the motion track 2 are slidingly embedded in the grooves, so that the motion track 2 is not easy to deviate in the horizontal direction while moving in the circumferential direction.

[0048] For example, three pulleys 52 are respectively arranged on each first scissor lift 51 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, one pulley 52 is located on the outer circumferential side of the motion track 2, and the other two pulleys 52 are located on the inner circumferential side of the motion track 2 and are arranged at intervals along the bending direction of the motion track 2.

[0049] It should be noted that the number of pulleys 52 is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the plurality of pulleys 52 are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the motion track 2, which can achieve the limiting of the two sides of the motion track 2.

[0050] Referring to Figure 2In order to adapt the adjusting device 5 to the movement track 2 of different types (i.e. different in width in the second direction), according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pulley 52 is slidingly arranged on the top of the first scissor lift 51 and the sliding direction is the same as the second direction; the first scissor lift 51 is provided with a first positioning assembly 53, and the first positioning assembly 53 is used to limit the position of the pulley 52 on the first scissor lift 51.

[0051] Specifically, the first positioning assembly 53 comprises a lead screw 531 and a sliding block 532.

[0052] The lead screw 531 is rotationally arranged on the first scissor lift 51, and the rotation axis is arranged along the second direction; the sliding block 532 is threadedly assembled on the lead screw 531, and the first scissor lift 51 is provided with a limiting rod 533 which is arranged in parallel with the lead screw 531; the limiting hole 5321 is arranged on the sliding block 532 and the lead screw 531 is slidingly penetrated through the limiting hole 5321; the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the sliding block 532, and the pulley 52 is rotationally installed on the fixed rod.

[0053] It can be understood that, in use, the lead screw 531 is screwed, and the lead screw 531 drives the sliding block 532 to rotate; due to the limitation of the limiting rod 533 on the sliding block 532, the sliding block 532 reciprocally slides along the length direction of the lead screw 531. First, the pulleys 52 on both sides of the movement track 2 are moved away from each other, the movement track 2 is placed between the pulleys 52 on both sides, and then the pulleys 52 on both sides of the movement track 2 are moved close to each other, so that the both sides of the movement track 2 are respectively embedded in the grooves of the pulleys 52, and the movement track 2 is stably clamped and limited.

[0054] Figure 3 The structure schematic diagram of the driving component 3 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving component 3 is used to drive the movement track 2 to move along the arc line where the room temperature hole 11 is located. The driving component 3 comprises a mounting table 31, a mounting frame 32, a second positioning assembly 33, a gear 34 and a driving piece 35.

[0056] Specifically, a second scissor lift is arranged on the ground corresponding to the position of the mounting table 31, and the mounting table 31 is arranged on the second scissor lift; the mounting table 31 is driven to ascend and descend by the second scissor lift, so as to adapt the driving component 3 to the motion track 2 of different heights. In order to meet the driving of the motion track 2 at different positions in the second direction, the top of the mounting table 31 is fixedly provided with two slide rails 311, the two slide rails 311 are arranged in parallel along the third direction and are arranged along the second direction, and the mounting frame 32 is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the slide rail 311, and the slide rail 311 and the sliding groove are slidably matched. The second positioning assembly 33 is used to limit the position of the mounting frame 32 on the mounting table 31.

[0057] Figure 4 The structure schematic view of the second positioning assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0058] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second positioning assembly 33 comprises a positioning bolt 331, the mounting frame 32 is provided with a positioning screw hole in communication with the sliding groove, and the positioning bolt 331 is threadedly assembled in the positioning screw hole. By screwing the positioning bolt 331, the free end of the positioning bolt 331 is tightly abutted against the slide rail 311, so as to fix the position of the mounting frame 32 in the second direction.

[0059] In some embodiments, the driving member 35 is a servo motor, the servo motor is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 32 and the output end faces downward, the gear 34 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor, and the outer periphery of the motion track 2 is provided with a rack 21, and the gear 34 is engaged with the rack 21.

[0060] It can be understood that the servo motor is started to drive the gear 34 to rotate, the gear 34 drives the rack 21 engaged therewith to move, and in turn drives the motion track 2 to slide in the circumferential direction.

[0061] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measuring device 4 is arranged on the motion track 2, and the measuring device 4 is used to measure the magnetic field parameters of the to-be-measured arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7.

[0062] The measuring device 4 comprises an ultrasonic motor 41, a harmonic coil 42, a Hall sensor 44 and a PCB type coil 45.

[0063] Figure 5 The arrangement schematic view between the harmonic coil and the motion track provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0064] Referring to Figure 5In some embodiments, in order to measure the magnetic field quality of the to-be-tested arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7, the measurement is performed by the ultrasonic motor 41 and the harmonic coil 42. The ultrasonic motor 41 is arranged on the motion track 2, and the harmonic coil 42 is connected to the output shaft of the ultrasonic motor 41. The ultrasonic motor 41 drives the harmonic coil 42 to rotate to measure the magnetic field quality of the to-be-tested arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7.

[0065] Specifically, the ultrasonic motor 41 is fixed on the motion track 2 by mounting bolts, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the ultrasonic motor 41. The rotation direction of the output shaft of the ultrasonic motor 41 is parallel to the second direction.

[0066] It can be understood that, unlike general motors, the ultrasonic motor 41 adopts the inverse piezoelectric principle, which uses the inverse piezoelectric effect and ultrasonic vibration of the piezoelectric ceramic to amplify the micro deformation of the material through mechanical resonance and friction coupling to convert it into macroscopic motion of the rotor, so that it can work in an environment with a background magnetic field, ensuring that it can work normally when passing through the aperture of the to-be-tested superconducting magnet and is not affected by the background magnetic field of the to-be-tested superconducting magnet. The ultrasonic motor 41 has a small size and is installed on the motion track 2 to follow the motion of the motion track 2, and can pass through the room temperature aperture 11.

[0067] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the arrangement between the tooling and the motion track provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0068] With reference to Figure 6 According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to measure the integral field physical quantity of the to-be-tested arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7, the tooling 43 is bolted on the motion track 2. A plurality of slots 431 for mounting the Hall sensors 44 are arranged on the tooling 43. The plurality of slots 431 are uniformly and symmetrically arranged along the second direction, and the slots 431 are arranged along the third direction. The Hall sensors 44 are used to measure the integral field physical quantity at different radial positions of the to-be-tested arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7.

[0069] In some embodiments, a plurality of Hall sensors 44 can be symmetrically installed in the slots 431 along the second direction, so that the integral field physical quantity at different radial positions can be obtained after one arc motion of the motion track 2, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0070] It can be understood that, during measurement, the Hall sensors 44 follow the motion track 2 to move uniformly along the curved direction, and measure the integral field, integral field transfer function and other physical quantities of the to-be-tested arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7.

[0071] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the arrangement between the PCB type coil and the motion track provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0072] With reference to Figure 7, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to measure the integral field transverse uniformity physical quantity of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7, the PCB type coil 45 is installed on the motion track 2 by bolts, the PCB type coil 45 is arranged in an arc shape and has the same bending radius as the bending radius of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured, a plurality of sub-coils 451 are arranged on the PCB type coil 45, the plurality of sub-coils 451 are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the PCB type coil 45, each sub-coil 451 has the same inductive area, and the PCB type coil 45 is used to measure the integral field transverse uniformity physical quantity of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured.

[0073] It can be understood that during the measurement process, the PCB type coil 45 moves to the center of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured along with the motion track 2, a fixed trapezoidal wave is applied to the excitation current of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured, and through one cycle of measurement, the integral field transverse uniformity physical quantity of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured is obtained by analysis and comparison.

[0074] The system can be applied to different stages of the processing and installation of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet, and can measure the arc-shaped superconducting magnet, apply a small current (<1A) to the arc-shaped superconducting magnet at room temperature to preliminarily measure the central field, the integral field and other magnetic field parameters of the superconducting magnet; or measure the arc-shaped superconducting magnet integrated into the cryostat 1, cooperate with the room temperature hole 11 to measure the magnetic field parameters of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet in detail, and obtain the integral field uniformity and other parameters. The measurement results at room temperature and at low temperature can be compared and verified with each other, combined with the design parameters, to verify whether the design and processing of the superconducting magnet meet the physical requirements, and to propose suggestions for improvement.

[0075] In the related art, the arc-shaped superconducting magnet is tested in a vertical test mode, that is, only a single measurement mode can be used to measure a small number of magnetic field parameters during single low-temperature testing, so that the arc-shaped superconducting magnet needs to be returned to room temperature, the measurement equipment needs to be replaced, and then the arc-shaped superconducting magnet needs to be tested again at low temperature. However, in the measurement device 4 of the system, the ultrasonic motor 41, the harmonic coil 42, the Hall sensor 44 and the PCB type coil 45 are multiple measurement type devices, which are convenient to replace, simple to control, high in measurement efficiency, and can be tested multiple times during the measurement process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0076] Meanwhile, when the system measures different specifications of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 to be measured, only the corresponding specification of the motion track 2 needs to be replaced, and other components can be recycled, which has a certain universality and saves costs.

[0077] Figure 8 The layout relationship between the arc-shaped superconducting magnet to be measured, the motion track and the measurement device during measurement is schematically shown; Figure 9 The flowchart of the arc-shaped superconducting magnet magnetic field measurement method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0078] Based on the same inventive concept, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an arc-shaped superconducting magnet magnetic field measurement method, comprising operations S110-S120.

[0079] In operation S110, the to-be-measured arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 is installed in the cryostat 1, and the to-be-measured arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 is aligned with the axis of the room temperature hole 11.

[0080] In operation S120, the movement track 2 is driven to move along the arc-shaped extension line of the movement track 2 by the driving component 3, and the measurement device 4 measures the magnetic field parameters of the to-be-measured arc-shaped superconducting magnet 7 during the movement of the movement track 2.

[0081] Specifically, before measurement, the cryostat 1 is first leveled, the movement track 2 is spliced and fixed, each set of adjusting devices 5 is adjusted in position with the pulley 52, the movement track 2 is stably clamped, and the two side edges of the movement track 2 can slide back and forth along the curved direction.

[0082] Then the measurement device 4 is installed, and according to different measurement contents, the ultrasonic motor 41 and the harmonic coil 42, the tooling 43 and the Hall sensor 44, and the PCB type coil 45 are respectively installed.
