Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an optical device cooling device and its cooling simulation analysis method, specifically to a highly stable crystal cooling device and its cooling simulation analysis method. Background Technology

[0002] Synchrotron radiation is a polychromatic light with wavelengths ranging from infrared to hard X-rays. It cannot generally be used directly. Technicians typically use various optical elements to process this continuous-spectrum polychromatic light into monochromatic light that meets experimental requirements (energy, flux, monochromaticity, polarization, spot size, etc.), and then safely, reliably, and efficiently transmit the monochromatic light to the experimental station for use in various scientific experiments. These functions are achieved through a beamline system, with the monochromator being the core device. The monochromator's function is to change the angle between the optical element and the synchrotron radiation to obtain monochromatic light of different wavelengths. Monochromators can be classified in various ways, such as by the type of optical element (grating monochromators, crystal monochromators, and multilayer monochromators); crystal monochromators can be further classified by diffraction method (Laue monochromators and Bragg monochromators); by the number of crystals (single-crystal monochromators, double-crystal monochromators, and quad-crystal monochromators); by crystal cutting method (symmetric monochromators and asymmetric monochromators); and by crystal arrangement (dispersive monochromators and achromatic monochromators).

[0003] In a dual-crystal monochromator, synchrotron radiation directly illuminates the monochromator crystal during propagation, subjecting the crystal to a high thermal load. Some heat is absorbed by the crystal, increasing its surface temperature and internal temperature gradient, thus generating thermal stress. This leads to negative deformations such as overall bending, localized bulging of crystal faces, and changes in lattice constant. Prolonged overheating can damage optical components, ultimately reducing beam quality and stability. Therefore, cooling the first crystal is necessary to mitigate the impact of high thermal load on beam quality and stability. Cooling methods include water cooling and liquid nitrogen cooling.

[0004] The cooling liquid flows turbulently through the cooling system pipes. This turbulence consists of vortices of varying scales, creating a highly unstable flow field. As the turbulent fluid flows past the pipe walls, it exerts alternating fluid forces on the surface, causing the pipes to reciprocate. This reciprocating motion alters the fluid flow regime, thus changing the fluid forces acting on the pipe walls. This fluid-solid interaction phenomenon is called flow-induced vibration. This fluid vibration alters the liquid flow state, inducing vibrations on the pipe surface. These pipe vibrations, in turn, cause crystal jitter by gripping the copper block, ultimately affecting the stability of the synchrotron radiation beam. During the cooling cycle, the liquid eddies and the stimulated vibrations of the pipes increase the amplitude of the crystal vibrations. Therefore, measures are needed to reduce the vibration of the pipe cooling system and improve the stability of the beam emitted from the monochromator crystal.

[0005] See existing crystal cooling devices Figure 1 The prior art includes a cooling pipe 01, a fixing device 02 installed on the cooling pipe 01, and a heat-conducting element 03 installed on the cooling pipe 01. However, the problem with this prior art is that the impact of the vibration of the cooling pipe 01 on the stability of the crystal is not taken into account. The fixing device 02 only plays a simple fixing role and has a poor vibration reduction effect. The cooling pipe 01 uses a multi-segment connected hose with inconsistent pipe inner diameters. The interaction between the liquid and the pipe wall is more obvious, resulting in low stiffness and low cooling efficiency of the cooling pipe 01. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Step 5: Organize the results of the above fluid simulation analysis, solid-state simulation analysis and fluid-structure interaction simulation analysis to complete the cooling simulation analysis of the highly stable crystal cooling device.

[0059] The embodiments of the present invention also performed the above simulation analysis, and the results showed that the maximum value of the displacement power spectrum amplitude at each monitoring point was less than 10 Hz, and the displacement spectral density excitation amplitude was significantly suppressed.

[0060] This invention also provides a testing method for the above-mentioned high-stability crystal cooling device, comprising the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: Assemble a highly stable crystal cooling device;
