[0054] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0055] This embodiment provides a cooling pipeline system for cooling a high temperature superconducting magnet 100. Figure 1 As shown, the high temperature superconducting magnet 100 includes a main frame 101, a superconducting coil group 102 and a fixing cylinder 103. The superconducting coil group 102 is arranged on the main frame 101. The superconducting coil group 102 includes a plurality of superconducting coils arranged in parallel. The fixing cylinder 103 is sleeved on the outside of the superconducting coil group 102. Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of superconducting coils are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main frame 101, each superconducting coil is annular, and the sizes of two adjacent superconducting coils are different.
[0056] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the cooling pipeline system includes an input unit 1, an internal cooling unit 2, a circumferential cooling unit 3, an end cooling unit 4 and an output unit. The input unit 1 is configured to be connected to an external cooling system, the internal cooling unit 2 includes a plurality of coil cooling pipes 21 arranged in parallel, each coil cooling pipe 21 is connected to the input unit 1, and a coil cooling pipe 21 is sandwiched between two adjacent superconducting coils to achieve uniform cooling inside the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100. The circumferential cooling unit 3 includes a first circumferential cooling structure 31 and a second circumferential cooling structure 32 which are centrally symmetrically arranged. The first circumferential cooling structure 31 includes a plurality of first circumferential cooling tubes 311, and the second circumferential cooling structure 32 includes a plurality of second circumferential cooling tubes 321. The fixed cylinder 103 is provided with a plurality of through holes 1031 spaced apart along the circumference, and each through hole 1031 extends along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 103. The first circumferential cooling tube 311 and the second circumferential cooling tube 321 are penetrated in the corresponding through holes 1031, and each first circumferential cooling tube 311 is connected to the input unit 1 to uniformly cool the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100 along its circumference. The end cooling unit 4 includes a first end cooling structure 41 and a second end cooling structure 42 respectively arranged at both ends of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100. The first end cooling structure 41 includes a first heat exchange tube 411 arranged at the first end of the main skeleton 101, the first circumferential cooling tube 311 is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchange tube 411, and the second circumferential cooling tube 321 is connected to the outlet of the first heat exchange tube 411.

[0057] A portion of the cooling medium entering the input unit 1 from the external cooling system directly enters the multiple coil cooling tubes 21 for internal cooling of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100; the other portion enters the multiple first circumferential cooling tubes 311 for circumferential cooling of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100. After flowing out of the multiple first circumferential cooling tubes 311, the cooling medium enters the first heat exchange tube 411 to cool the first end of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100, and then flows into the multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321 through the first heat exchange tube 411 to cool the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100 again along the circumference of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100; finally, the cooling medium in the multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321 and the multiple coil cooling tubes 21 enters the second heat exchange tube 421 to cool the second end of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100. The output unit (not shown) is connected between the outlet of the second heat exchange tube 421 and the external cooling system. The cooling pipeline system can not only uniformly cool the interior of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100, but also cool the circumference and both ends of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100, isolating the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100 from the external temperature zone, effectively preventing heat leakage from the magnet, and providing a stable low-temperature environment for the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100.
[0058] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the circumferential cooling unit 3 includes two first circumferential cooling structures 31 and two second circumferential cooling structures 32. The two first circumferential cooling structures 31 and the two second circumferential cooling structures 32 are staggered and centrally symmetrically arranged on the outside of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100. Among them, the first circumferential cooling structure 31 also includes a first diverter 312 and a first confluence piece 313. The first diverter 312 is arranged at the second end of the main skeleton 101. The inlets of multiple first coil cooling tubes 21 and the inlets of multiple first circumferential cooling tubes 311 are all connected to the first diverter 312. Under the diversion effect of the first diverter 312, the cooling medium in the input unit 1 can be delivered to the coil cooling tube 21 and the first circumferential cooling tube 311; the first confluence piece 313 is arranged at the first end of the main skeleton 101. The outlets of multiple first coil cooling tubes 21 are connected to the first confluence piece 313. Under the confluence effect of the first confluence piece 313, the cooling medium in multiple first coil cooling tubes 21 can be simultaneously delivered to the first heat exchange tube 411. The second circumferential cooling structure 32 also includes a second diverter 322 and a second confluence piece 323. The second diverter 322 is arranged at the first end of the main skeleton 101, and the inlets of multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321 are connected to the second diverter 322. Under the diversion effect of the second diverter 322, the cooling medium in the first heat exchange tube 411 can be diverted to the multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321; the second confluence piece 323 is arranged at the second end of the main skeleton 101, and the outlets of multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321 are connected to the second confluence piece 323. Under the confluence effect of the second confluence piece 323, the cooling medium in the multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321 can be simultaneously delivered to the second heat exchange tube 421.
[0059] Exemplarily, each first circumferential cooling structure 31 includes two first circumferential cooling tubes 311, and each second circumferential cooling structure 32 includes two second circumferential cooling tubes 321, so as to achieve more uniform cooling and cooling of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100 in the circumference; in other embodiments, the number of the first circumferential cooling tubes 311 and the second circumferential cooling tubes 321 can also be set to three, four or even more, and the specific number can be set as needed and is not specifically limited here.
[0060] In addition, in this embodiment, the first flow dividing member 312 , the first flow converging member 313 , the second flow dividing member 322 , and the second flow converging member 323 are all arranged in a V-shape, which has good structural stability.
[0061] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 4 A connecting pipe 35 is provided on the side of the second confluence piece 323 away from the main skeleton 101, and the connecting pipe 35 is connected between the second diverter piece 322 and the inlet of the second heat exchange tube 421 to deliver the cooling medium in the multiple second circumferential cooling tubes 321 into the second heat exchange tube 421.
[0062] Alternatively, if Figure 6 As shown, the circumferential cooling unit 3 also includes a converging cooling pipe 33 and a diverting cooling pipe 34. The converging cooling pipe 33 is arranged between the outlets of the plurality of first circumferential cooling pipes 311 and the inlet of the first heat exchange pipe 411, so as to deliver the cooling medium in the plurality of first circumferential cooling pipes 311 into the first heat exchange pipe 411. The diverting cooling pipe 34 is arranged between the outlet of the first heat exchange pipe 411 and the inlet of the plurality of second circumferential cooling pipes 321, so as to divert the cooling medium in the first heat exchange pipe 411 to the plurality of second circumferential cooling pipes 321. Specifically in this embodiment, the converging cooling pipe 33 is arranged between the inlet of the first heat exchange pipe 411 and the first converging piece 313, and the diverting cooling pipe 34 is arranged between the outlet of the first heat exchange pipe 411 and the second diverting piece 322. The above arrangement can ensure that the plurality of second circumferential cooling pipes 321 can simultaneously and uniformly cool and cool the circumference of the high-temperature superconducting magnet, and ensure the uniformity of circumferential cooling and cooling.
[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, two converging cooling pipes 33 and two diverting cooling pipes 34 are provided, and the two converging cooling pipes 33 are connected to the first converging parts 313 of the two first circumferential cooling structures 31 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two diverting cooling pipes 34 are connected to the second diverting parts 322 of the two second circumferential cooling structures 32 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0064] Specifically, the cooling medium may be a medium capable of cooling down, such as cold water, liquid helium or liquid nitrogen. In this embodiment, liquid helium is preferred, as it has the advantages of low surface tension, high thermal conductivity, low viscosity, and stable chemical properties.
[0065] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 6 The coil cooling tube 21 is U-shaped. The above arrangement can be more compatible with the annular superconducting coil, and the U-shaped coil cooling tube 21 is reliable in operation and low in cost.
[0066] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the input unit 1 includes a main input pipe 11 and a plurality of shunt pipes 12. The main input pipe 11 is connected to the external cooling system. The plurality of shunt pipes 12 are all connected to the outlet of the main input pipe 11. The inlet of each shunt pipe 12 is connected to the corresponding coil cooling pipe 21 and the corresponding first circumferential cooling pipe 311. Specifically in this embodiment, each shunt pipe 12 is connected to the corresponding first shunt member 312. Under the shunt effect of the first shunt member 312, the cooling medium can be sent into the corresponding coil cooling pipe 21 and the first circumferential cooling pipe 311.
[0067] Optionally, the internal cooling unit 2 further includes a plurality of cold conduction plates (not shown in the figure), each of which is in contact between two adjacent superconducting coils, and each of which is provided with a fixed groove, and a plurality of coil cooling tubes 21 are embedded in the plurality of fixed grooves in a one-to-one correspondence. The coldness of the coil cooling tube 21 is transferred to the cold conduction plate, and then transferred to the superconducting coil via the cold conduction plate, which can effectively increase the heat exchange area and improve the uniform cooling of the interior of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100.
[0068] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first end cooling structure 41 also includes a first heat exchange ring 412, which is fixed at the first end of the main skeleton 101, and the first heat exchange tube 411 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the first heat exchange ring 412; the second end cooling structure 42 also includes a second heat exchange ring 422, which is fixed at the second end of the main skeleton 101, and the second heat exchange tube 421 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the second heat exchange ring 422. The arrangement of the first heat exchange ring 412 and the second heat exchange ring 422 can increase the heat exchange area of the first heat exchange tube 411 and the second heat exchange tube 421, and effectively improve the isolation effect between the two ends of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100 and the external temperature zone.
[0069] Further, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer circumferential walls of the first heat exchange ring 412 and the second heat exchange ring 422 are both provided with spiral grooves, and the first heat exchange tube 411 and the second heat exchange tube 421 are in contact with the corresponding spiral grooves. The provision of the spiral grooves can increase the contact area between the first heat exchange ring 412 and the first heat exchange tube 411, and the contact area between the second heat exchange ring 422 and the second heat exchange tube 421, thereby improving the cooling effect at both ends of the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100.
[0070] Specifically, since the cooling medium flow rate in the first heat exchange tube 411 is smaller than the cooling medium flow rate in the second heat exchange tube 421, the inner diameter of the first heat exchange tube 411 is also smaller than the inner diameter of the second heat exchange tube 421. Accordingly, the size of the spiral groove on the first heat exchange ring 412 is also smaller than the size of the spiral groove on the second heat exchange ring 422.
[0071] Optionally, a plurality of avoidance grooves 4121 are provided at both ends of the first heat exchange ring 412 and the second heat exchange ring 422, and the avoidance grooves 4121 are used to allow the first heat exchange tube 411 and the second heat exchange tube 421 to pass through. The arrangement of the avoidance grooves 4121 can facilitate the connection between the inlet of the first heat exchange tube 411 and the confluence cooling tube 33, the connection between the outlet of the first heat exchange tube 411 and the diversion cooling tube 34, and the connection between the second heat exchange tube 421 and the connecting tube 35.
[0072] Alternatively, if Figure 3As shown, the first end cooling structure 41 further includes a first heat insulation plate 413, which is disposed between the first end of the main frame 101 and the first heat exchange ring 412; the second end cooling structure 42 further includes a second heat insulation plate 423, which is disposed between the second end of the main frame 101 and the second heat exchange ring 422. The arrangement of the first heat insulation plate 413 and the second heat insulation plate 423 can further enhance the isolation effect between the high temperature superconducting magnet 100 and the external temperature zone, and provide a stable low temperature environment for the high temperature superconducting magnet 100.
[0073] Specifically, the first heat exchange ring 412 is detachably mounted on the first heat insulation plate 413 by bolts, and the second heat exchange ring 422 is also detachably mounted on the second heat insulation plate 423 by bolts. In addition, the first heat insulation plate 413 and the second heat insulation plate 423 are connected to the first end and the second end of the main frame 101 one by one.
[0074] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the first insulation plate 413 and the second insulation plate 423 are both circular; in other embodiments, the first insulation plate 413 and the second insulation plate 423 may also be other shapes, which are not specifically limited here.
[0075] Optionally, the cooling pipeline system further comprises a magnet dewar 5. Figure 8 As shown, the magnet dewar 5 is surrounded by a vacuum cavity, and the high-temperature superconducting magnet 100, the input unit 1, the internal cooling unit 2, the circumferential cooling unit 3, the end cooling unit 4 and the output unit are all arranged in the vacuum cavity to further isolate the high-temperature superconducting magnet from the external temperature zone, further reduce the radiation heat leakage of the magnet, and help maintain a stable and balanced low-temperature environment. The magnet dewar 5 is provided with an avoidance hole 51 that allows the input unit 1 and the output unit to be connected to the external cooling system, which is convenient for the circulation of the cooling medium.
[0076] Specifically, the magnet dewar 5 is a structure that has been disclosed in the prior art. The specific structure and principle refer to the prior art and will not be repeated here.
