[0023] In order to reduce the heat conduction between the Dewar tank 5 and the external environment, a cover 104 is fixedly installed on the top of the insulation box 101, and an airtight ring 105 is fixedly connected to the edge of the cover 104, so that the gap between the cover 104 and the insulation box 101 is covered by the airtight ring 105; a lifting ring 107 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover 104 to facilitate the opening of the cover 104.

[0024] In order to improve the sealing ability of the cover 104 to the insulation box 101, the top edge of the cover 104 is rotatably connected with a plurality of locking bolts, and the top edge of the insulation box 101 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes 106, and the bottoms of the plurality of locking bolts are respectively threadedly connected with the plurality of bolt holes 106, so as to avoid reducing internal nitrogen leakage.

[0025] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In order to avoid the problem of a liquid nitrogen dead zone inside the Dewar tank 5 caused by liquid nitrogen being delivered from a single position; a diverter assembly 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the Dewar tank 5, and the diverter assembly 6 includes a diverter cover plate 601, a central tube 602 is fixedly connected to the top of the diverter cover plate 601, and a plurality of diverter pipes 603 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the central tube 602, and a diverter regulating valve 604 is fixedly connected to the middle of the plurality of diverter pipes 603.

[0026] In order to achieve synchronous regulation of the flow rates of the three shunt pipes 603, it is ensured that the liquid nitrogen fed by the liquid inlet pipe 102 can enter at a stable flow rate, thereby ensuring the stability of the pipeline pressure and the circulation flow rate of the liquid nitrogen; the middle part of the central pipe 602 is rotatably connected with a mounting collar 611, the bottom of the mounting collar 611 is fixedly connected with a lower docking gear 610, and the regulating ends of several shunt regulating valves 604 are fixedly connected with regulating gears 605, and several regulating gears 605 are all meshed and connected with the lower docking gear 610; the top of the mounting collar 611 is fixedly connected with an upper docking gear 609, the upper part of the mounting collar 611 is fixedly connected with a mounting frame 606, one side of the mounting frame 606 is fixedly connected with a driving motor 607, the output end of the driving motor 607 is fixedly connected with a driving gear 608, and the driving gear 608 is meshed with the upper docking gear 610.

The initial opening state of each shunt regulating valve 604 is different, that is, when part of the shunt regulating valve 604 is gradually opened due to the rotation of the adjusting gear 605, the other part is gradually closed due to the rotation of the adjusting gear 605, so that the total liquid nitrogen flow rate passing through each shunt pipe 603 as a whole is consistent with the liquid nitrogen flow rate sent into the liquid inlet pipe 102, so as to ensure the stability of the overall circulation of liquid nitrogen; that is, the shunt assembly 6 set in the present application only changes the individual delivery flow rate of each shunt pipe 603, so as to guide the flow of liquid nitrogen in the Dewar tank 5 and avoid the formation of a dead zone.

[0028] When in use, the device is installed in a closed indoor working environment. Figure 2 and Figure 5 In order to facilitate the working process, the water vapor in the air condenses on the surface of the pipeline or other components due to low temperature, thereby affecting the normal working performance of the device. In this application, a dehumidification component 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the heat insulation box 101.

[0030] The working method of the closed supercooled liquid nitrogen circulation device comprises the following steps: first, check whether the instruments of each device are normal; after completing the overall packaging of the reactor and the Dewar tank 5, perform a leak test on the Dewar assembly 1, specifically: perform a 0.05MPa airtightness test on the Dewar tank 5 and maintain the pressure for 20 minutes; then perform vacuum replacement, use a vacuum pump to evacuate to 0.1Pa, maintain the pressure for 30 minutes, and then fill with nitrogen to 0.02MPa, maintain the pressure for 30 minutes, and repeat this 3 times; finally, slowly add liquid nitrogen; Then, the circulation pipe 401 is checked for leaks. First, the Dewar assembly 1 is connected to the refrigeration assembly. Specifically, the cover 104 is opened, and the Dewar tank 5 together with the diverter assembly 6 thereon is loaded into the heat-insulating box 101, and the support 108 receives it. Then, the liquid inlet pipe 102 and the liquid outlet pipe 103 are respectively fixedly connected with the two ends of the circulation pipe 401; after completion, the cover 104 is installed, and then several locking bolts are turned to fix the cover 104 with the heat-insulating box 101; then the liquid outlet valve 41 is opened, and the circulation pipe 401 and the entire circulation assembly 4 are checked for leaks by the flow of liquid nitrogen; since the working pressure of the entire system pipeline is relatively low, foam water can be used to check for leaks on each instrument and valve assembly and the connection points with the pipeline to ensure that the entire system is leak-free; Then, the circulation pipe 401 is precooled, and the electric regulating valve 45, the relief valve 44 and the branch low-temperature electromagnetic valve inside the Stirling refrigerator 2 are opened in sequence, and then the liquid outlet valve 41 is gradually and slowly opened, and then the liquid nitrogen will flow into the circulation pipe 401 through the liquid outlet valve 41; precooling is performed until the temperature sensor 47 shows that the temperature is -196°C, indicating that the inside of the circulation pipe 401 has been precooled; The equipment starts to run for refrigeration. First, turn on the water cooling unit 3, then gradually and slowly open the relief valve 44, observe the outlet status of the relief valve 44, if all columnar liquid nitrogen is sprayed out, turn on the liquid nitrogen pump 43, and note that the operating frequency of the liquid nitrogen pump 43 needs to gradually increase from 20HZ to 100HZ; at this time, the pressure gauge 42-3 after the valve observes that the liquid nitrogen pressure at the outlet of the relief valve 44 will increase significantly, and the relief valve 44 needs to be closed at this time. After closing the relief valve 44, observe the pressure gauge 42-1 before the pump and the pressure gauge 42-2 after the pump, wait for the pressure before and after the liquid nitrogen pump 43 to stabilize, and after the liquid nitrogen pump 43 runs stably, turn on the Stirling refrigerator 2, and the Stirling refrigerator 2 moves to continuously cool the liquid nitrogen in the circulation pipe 401 to ensure the stable operation of the superconductor in the Dewar tank 5; During the operation of the equipment, the reciprocating rotation of the driving motor 607 drives the adjusting gears 605 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the shunt regulating valves 604, thereby changing the liquid nitrogen output of each shunt pipe 603, driving the liquid nitrogen flow inside the Dewar tank 5 to avoid the formation of a dead zone.
