Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency superconducting cavities, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a radio frequency superconducting cavity inner and outer conductor welding body in a segmented manner. Background Art

[0002] Spoke-type superconducting cavities are usually composed of end caps, inner conductors, outer conductors, coupling tubes and flanges. The RF superconducting cavity with a specific resonant frequency that meets the design requirements is manufactured by vacuum electron beam welding. Compared with the original single-Spoke RF superconducting cavity, the 648MHzβ=0.4 single-Spoke RF superconducting cavity has basically the same structure, but there is a special physical design structure at the outer conductor. Mainly at the interface where the outer conductor and the inner conductor are welded, there is an elliptical surface structure with a specific size on the outer conductor. According to the design requirements, the weld between the inner conductor and the outer conductor should not form welding defects such as undercuts and holes after welding. Because the electric field at the welding point is relatively strong during the operation of the RF superconducting cavity, the welding defects will cause tip discharge and generate free electrons. The free electrons enter the acceleration gap and affect the beam quality. At the same time, according to the design requirements, the internal weld should not have an R angle after welding.

[0003] Generally, the processing of the outer conductor of a single-spoke type RF superconducting cavity is based on the design requirements of the superconducting cavity. A plate of a certain size is used. After rolling and welding, a cylindrical outer conductor is formed. Then, four holes are made on the outer conductor that are symmetrical in pairs and the center lines of the two holes are perpendicular to each other. After drawing, two symmetrical inner and outer drawing holes are formed. The two inner drawing holes can form two interfaces for welding with the inner conductor. After the two inner drawing holes are assembled and fixed with the inner conductor, two welds are formed. The whole is welded with an electron beam welder to form an inner and outer conductor assembly. Fig.10 shown.

[0004] The outer conductor of the 648MHz single-Spoke040 type RF superconducting cavity adopts the overall processing method of the outer conductor of the general single-Spoke type RF superconducting cavity. The elliptical surface structure of a specific size in the outer conductor cannot be realized during processing; according to the design requirements of the 648MHz single-Spoke040 type RF superconducting cavity, the weld formed after the inner conductor and the outer conductor are assembled, and after welding, the internal weld cannot have R angle (chamfer or fillet), and the weld between the inner conductor and the outer conductor cannot form welding defects such as undercut and holes after welding. Because the electric field at the welding point is relatively strong during the operation of the RF superconducting cavity, the welding defects will cause tip discharge, generate free electrons, and the free electrons enter the acceleration gap, affecting the beam quality. Therefore, the welding method of welding on one side and forming on two sides cannot be adopted. One weld can only be welded by welding on the inside and outside. In addition, due to the cylindrical structure of the outer conductor, the shielding of the components makes it impossible for the electron beam welder to complete the welding of the inside and outside.

[0032] Please see Fig.11 The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a radio frequency superconducting cavity inner and outer conductor welded body by segmentation, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Select a high-purity niobium plate and cut it into several independent plates according to the design size of the outer conductor; Step 2: Processing the sheet material into an outer conductor sheet having an elliptical curved surface structure of a specific size by stamping; Step 3: Use welding tools to fix and clamp the inner conductor and the outer conductor sheet for assembly, and use an electron beam welding machine to weld the inner conductor and the outer conductor to form an integrated welded body; Step 4: Remove burrs from the weld body by grinding to obtain finished inner conductor and outer conductor components.

[0033] To be more specific, in step 3, the inner conductor and the outer conductor are welded in the following manner: S1: Use the outer weld auxiliary tooling to assemble the inner conductor 40 and the outer conductor into one body, so that the two outer conductors are assembled at the two ends of the inner conductor 40, and are loaded into the welding chamber of the electron beam welder; after the vacuum is evacuated to meet the process requirements, use the corresponding welding process to weld the outer weld of the outer conductor and the inner conductor 40; after the welding is completed, remove the outer weld auxiliary tooling.

[0034] S2: Use the inner weld auxiliary tooling to reassemble the outer conductor and the inner conductor 40 after the outer weld is welded, and load them into the welding chamber of the electron beam welder; after the vacuum is evacuated to meet the process requirements, use the corresponding welding process to weld the inner weld of the outer conductor and the inner conductor 40; after the welding is completed, remove the inner weld auxiliary tooling.

[0035] S3: Use the outer weld auxiliary tooling to reassemble the remaining outer conductor and the workpiece welded in step S2 into one piece, so that the remaining outer conductor and the welded outer conductor form a ring structure, and load it into the welding chamber of the electron beam welder; after the vacuum is evacuated to meet the process requirements, use the corresponding welding process to weld the welds between adjacent outer conductors; after the welding is completed, remove the outer weld auxiliary tooling, and the inner conductor 40 and the outer conductor can be welded as a whole.

[0036] Please see Figure 7 Of course, to be more specific, in step S1, the welding of the outer weld of the outer conductor and the inner conductor 40 is carried out in the following manner: S11: First, assemble the first limiting plate 01 and the connecting sleeve 09 and fasten them with screws to form a composite tooling.

[0037] S12: After the superconducting cavity conductor 40 is assembled with the two outer conductors, the whole is installed in coordination with the composite tooling in step S11, so that the two outer conductors are inserted into the limiting groove 12 of the first limiting plate 01, and the inner surface is tightly fitted on the surface of the limiting column 11 of the first limiting plate 01; the purpose is to make the arc curvature of the first outer conductor 20 and the second outer conductor 30 after welding consistent with the design curvature of the outer conductor.

[0038] S13: Install the limiting pull rod 03 in the center hole of the inner conductor 40 and the center hole of the first limiting plate 01, and assemble them in place; to play a positioning and fixing role, the purpose is to make the center axis of the outer conductor coincide with the center axis of the inner conductor 40 to meet the process requirements.

[0039] S14: Install the second limiting plate 02 so that the limiting rod 03 passes through its center hole, and the two outer conductors are clamped in the limiting groove 12 of the second limiting plate 02, with the inner surface tightly fitting on the surface of the limiting column 11 of the second limiting plate 02, and at the same time, the fixing through holes 13 on the second limiting plate 02 and the first limiting plate 01 are opposite to each other.

[0040] S15: After confirming that the two outer conductors are clamped in the limiting grooves 12 of the first limiting plate 01 and the second limiting plate 02, and the inner surfaces are tightly fitted in the limiting columns 11 of the first limiting plate 01 and the second limiting plate 02, install the fastening rod 08 into the fixed through holes 13 on the first limiting plate 01 and the second limiting plate 02, and fasten the two ends with nuts. At the same time, nuts are installed at both ends of the limiting pull rod 03 for fastening. The purpose is to make the weldment and the welding tooling form a rigid whole to prevent the heat generated during electron beam welding from causing deformation of the weldment.

[0041] S16: The weldment and the fastener of the tooling are horizontally loaded into the welding chamber of the electron beam welder, and the connecting sleeve 09 is clamped into the welding machine chuck for fastening; after the vacuum is evacuated to meet the process requirements, the outer weld of the outer conductor and the inner conductor 40 is welded using the corresponding welding process; after the welding is completed, the outer weld auxiliary tooling is removed.

[0042] Please see Figure 8 Of course, to be more specific, in step S16, the following method is used when welding the outer conductor and the outer weld of the inner conductor 40: After the vacuum is exhausted to meet the process requirements, the first outer conductor 20 and the inner conductor 40 are spot welded to form an outer weld. After the spot welding is completed, the weldment and the tooling are rotated 180° by the welding machine chuck, and the second outer conductor 30 and the inner conductor 40 outer weld are first spot welded, and then the corresponding welding process is used to formally weld this weld; After the welding is completed, the welding workpiece and the tooling are rotated 180 degrees by the welding machine chuck, and the first outer conductor 20 and the inner conductor 40 are formally welded using the corresponding welding process.

[0043] Of course, to explain more specifically, in step S2, the welding of the outer conductor and the inner weld of the inner conductor 40 is carried out in the following manner: S21: Assemble the first pressing head 04 and the connecting sleeve together, and fasten them into one piece with the fixing rod 07 to form a composite tool.

[0044] S22: The outer surface of the first outer conductor 20 of the welded body with the outer weld completed is fitted together with the first ram 04 in the composite tooling; the second ram 05 is inserted into the end of the inner conductor 40 located at the second outer conductor 30, and the screw hole 50 on the second ram 05 is aligned with the screw hole 50 on the first ram 04; then the fixing rod 07 is installed in the screw hole 50 and fastened with a nut to make the weldment and the welding tooling become one; and the arc-shaped structural surface of the first ram 04 is exactly the same as the structure of the outer conductor, so as to protect the elliptical surface structure of a specific size from thermal deformation and ensure accuracy when the internal weld is formed when welding the inner conductor 40 with the first outer conductor 20 and the second outer conductor 30.

[0045] S23: Insert the connecting sleeve into the chuck in the welding chamber of the electron beam welder. The chuck of the welder has an elevation angle of 42°. The purpose of this elevation angle is to ensure that the welding electron beam generated by the electron beam welder can be unobstructed and continuously hit the internal weld bead when the chuck drives the weldment and the tooling to rotate 360 ​​degrees during welding, so as to ensure that the weld bead weld is continuous and closed after welding. After the vacuum is exhausted to meet the process requirements, the internal weld of the outer conductor and the inner conductor 40 is welded using the corresponding welding process; after welding, the internal weld auxiliary tooling is removed.

[0046] Of course, to explain more specifically, in step S23, the following method is used when welding the outer conductor and the inner weld of the inner conductor 40: After the vacuum is exhausted to meet the process requirements, the inner weld of the inner conductor 40 and the first outer conductor 20 are welded according to the welding process. After the welding is completed, the inner weld of the inner conductor 40 and the first outer conductor 20 is taken out of the furnace after the furnace conditions are met. The inner weld of the inner conductor 40 and the first outer conductor 20 is welded. After the weldment is rotated 180°, the end of the second outer conductor 30 is matched with the first pressing head 04, and the above steps are repeated to complete the welding of the inner conductor 40 and the internal weld of the second outer conductor 30.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, the inner conductor and the outer conductor are assembled into one piece using an outer weld auxiliary tool, and the outer conductor and the inner conductor are assembled into one piece again using an inner weld auxiliary tool; Among them, the external welding seam auxiliary tooling includes a first limit plate 01, a second limit plate 02, and a limit rod 03; the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two ends of the limit rod 03 respectively penetrate the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02 and then fix the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02, so that the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02 can clamp the outer conductor to limit the axial displacement and radial displacement of the outer conductor. The two ends of the limit rod 03 are correspondingly provided with top holes to facilitate the insertion of the welding machine top. Among them, the fastening rod 08 can adopt a screw with threads at both ends to facilitate the adaptation and fastening of the nut.

[0048] Among them, the inner weld auxiliary tooling includes a first pressing head 04 and a second pressing head 05 for pressing the outer conductor at the two ends of the inner conductor 40; the first pressing head 04 and the second pressing head 05 are arranged opposite to each other, and exhaust holes 06 are provided on the first pressing head 04 and the second pressing head 05, through which the smoke and air generated during welding can be discharged, and part of the welding heat can also be taken away. The second pressing head 05 forms an arc structure adapted to the outer conductor on the side facing the first pressing head 04, so that when the weldment and the tooling are assembled, the deformation of the elliptical surface structure of a specific size is avoided, and the thermal deformation caused when welding the inner weld can be prevented. A fixing rod 07 is installed between the first pressing head 04 and the second pressing head 05, so that the first pressing head 04 and the second pressing head 05 assemble the inner conductor 40 and the outer conductor into one. Screw holes 50 for the fixing rod 07 to pass through are provided on the first pressing head 04 and the second pressing head 05, and threads are formed at both ends of the fixing rod 07 to facilitate the fitting and tightening of the nut.

[0049] Please see Fig. 9 In one embodiment, a limiting column 11 matching the inner diameter of the outer conductor is provided on the surface of the first limiting plate 01 facing the second limiting plate 02, and on the surface of the second limiting plate 02 facing the first limiting plate 01. The limiting column 11 limits the inner diameter of the welded part and ensures the roundness of the welded part.

[0050] Of course, a central positioning hole is also provided in the middle of the first limiting plate 01 toward the second limiting plate 02, and the central positioning hole is used to insert the limiting pull rod 03. The center of the central positioning hole is concentric with the circle of the limiting column 11, and finally the coaxial accuracy of the center hole of the inner conductor 40 and the intermediate ring is ensured.

[0051] Specifically, a limiting groove 12 concentric with the limiting column 11 is provided on the surface of the first limiting plate 01 facing the second limiting plate 02, and on the surface of the second limiting plate 02 facing the first limiting plate 01, and the inner diameter of the limiting groove 12 is the same as the diameter of the limiting column 11. The limiting groove 12 is composed of the diameter difference of the inner and outer concentric circles and a certain depth, and is used to clamp and position the outer conductor so that the diameter of the weldment meets the design requirements of the outer conductor.

[0052] Specifically, the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02 are provided with corresponding fixing through holes 13, and a fastening rod 08 that can be inserted into the fixing through holes 13 is installed between the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02 to realize the assembly of the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02. By fastening the fastening rod 08 with the nut, the weldment assembled between the first limit plate 01 and the second limit plate 02 can be firmly fixed to increase the welding accuracy.

[0053] In one embodiment, a connection sleeve 09 for connecting to an electron beam welder is provided on a surface of the first limit plate 01 away from the second limit plate 02.
