Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of superconducting magnets for nuclear fusion, and in particular to a tension-free winding system and method of an armored spiral tube superconducting coil for nuclear fusion. Background Art

[0002] For environmental protection, human development and survival safety, nuclear fusion energy is the most ideal clean energy in human social activities. In the fusion reaction process, the magnetic field plays a vital role in the confinement of the plasma body, and the superconducting coil is the core key component of the magnetic field formation. During the insulation winding process of the superconducting coil, the insulation winding slewing bearing rotating support bearing table needs to be rotated appropriately so that the coil is not subjected to mechanical tension in the radial direction, preventing the coil from being smooth and tension-free during the winding process, thereby ensuring the integrity of the coil contour.

[0003] With the extension and development of large-scale nuclear fusion scientific facilities, the key component superconducting coils also have large differences in external contours and radial dimensions due to the differences in magnetic field strength. After the winding and molding process, the superconducting coils need to be insulated and wrapped. During the automatic winding of the coil insulation, there are high requirements for the overlap rate of the coil insulation material; at the same time, the technical indicators of the overlap rate make the insulation material constrain the coil in tension during the coil insulation winding process. With the continuous automatic insulation winding, the coil will be unable to smoothly lay down the turns freely under the long-term tension constraint, which will cause the coil to be twisted and deformed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a tension-free winding system and method for an armored spiral tube superconducting coil for nuclear fusion. According to the baseline position of the superconducting coil on the insulation winding rotating platform, the rotation speed of the roller during the coil unwinding process is checked; the contour of the laser tracker is combined with the design model size fitting to further judge the tension constraint degree of the coil, thereby achieving tension-free overlapping during the insulation winding process of the armored spiral tube superconducting coil for nuclear fusion, improving the insulation winding efficiency of the coil and effectively protecting the cross-sectional size, shape and contour of the coil.
