TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion devices, and particularly relates to a liquid lithium divertor device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The divertor is a component of a toroidal fusion device such as a tokamak device, and is used to divert the charged particles in the outer shell layer of the discharge into a separate chamber, where the charged particles bombard the baffle and become neutral particles that are extracted. By providing the divertor, the high-energy particles in the outer shell layer can be prevented from bombarding the main discharge chamber wall, thereby avoiding the release of secondary particles from the chamber wall that can cool the discharge.
[0003] In the tokamak high-temperature plasma vacuum chamber, the plasma-facing component is referred to as the first wall component, which receives high-energy particle bombardment from the plasma, while the limiter / divertor limits the interaction between the plasma and the material to the limiter area, avoids damage to other first wall materials from high-energy particles from the plasma, reduces impurity backflow, and alleviates impurity pollution to the plasma. The existing tokamak device mainly selects solid materials such as carbon, beryllium, and tungsten as the divertor material, but as the tokamak device develops, the high heat load impact, plasma and neutron irradiation on the divertor become stronger and stronger, which gradually approaches the bearing limit of the existing solid material, and the service life and the structural change of the crystal under neutron irradiation and transmutation reaction are also a problem that has plagued solid-state divertors.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the liquid metal lithium divertor has become one of the research hotspots at home and abroad. The liquid metal lithium divertor not only has a longer service life and higher heat load transport capacity than traditional solid material walls, but also has good self-renewal ability and strong resistance to neutron irradiation damage. At the same time, lithium, as a low-neutron-number first wall material with strong chemical activity, has good compatibility with the plasma, can effectively control impurity particles, reduce particle recirculation, and improve plasma confinement performance. Moreover, under plasma bombardment, a poloidal asymmetric lithium radiation mantle is formed on the surface of the flowing lithium wall, shielding the heat flow from the plasma, effectively alleviating the corrosion and damage of the plasma heat flow to the surface of the divertor target plate. It not only has obvious engineering application value, but also is one of the possible controlled nuclear fusion first wall schemes.
[0005] However, the existing liquid metal lithium divertor in the prior art currently has the following problems: Figure 1 The lithium surface coverage diagram of the liquid lithium divertor device in the EAST device shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1The middle circle is an uncovered area, and it can be seen that the spreading coverage of liquid lithium on the divertor target plate is only about 50%, and the area not covered by liquid lithium is prone to direct erosion and damage by high-temperature plasma, thereby causing the overall destruction of the liquid divertor component.
[0006] In order to improve the spreading of liquid lithium on the divertor target plate, the existing liquid metal lithium divertor is provided with multiple liquid outlet holes to generate a lithium film flow in a manner of vertically supplying liquid outward from the divertor target plate. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the multiple liquid outlet holes are arranged horizontally and uniformly at the top, and each small hole has a size of 0.8mm*0.8mm. The liquid flows out from the liquid outlet hole in a direction perpendicular to the target plate from bottom to top, and then flows downward by gravity to generate a film flow. Although this setting can improve the spreading of liquid lithium on the divertor target plate to some extent, it still has the following defects: 1) the distribution of liquid in the pipeline is uneven, resulting in different liquid flow rates of each liquid outlet hole, which still causes uneven liquid distribution in the film flow area; 2) the liquid flows out vertically from the target plate and flows downward only by gravity, but due to the large surface tension of lithium, the contact angle is large, that is, the wettability with the solid wall is poor, and the liquid is also difficult to spread spontaneously around when the gravity and surface tension are balanced, which makes the liquid lithium more inclined to gather into a strand flow on the target plate rather than spreading into a liquid film flow, resulting in poor spreading on the target plate; 3) the divertor target plate area and the film flow generator area are designed in one body, which is difficult to replace, resulting in large experimental engineering quantity and material consumption. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to solve the technical problems of insufficient spreading area of lithium film flow on the divertor target plate, uneven distribution of lithium film flow and difficulty in replacement in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a liquid lithium divertor device.
[0008] The liquid lithium divertor device of the present application is realized by the following technical scheme:
[0009] The present application provides a liquid lithium divertor device, which comprises a liquid film generator, a divertor target plate, a heating bottom plate and a conveying pipeline.
[0010] The liquid film generator of the present application comprises a liquid lithium input area and a liquid lithium conveying area.
[0011] The divertor target plate and the heating bottom plate are sequentially detachably connected to the liquid lithium conveying area by bolts to form a sandwich structure, so that the target plate can be replaced in the later stage, thereby effectively reducing the experimental engineering quantity and material consumption.
[0012] The inlet of the liquid lithium input area is communicated with the outlet of the delivery pipeline, so that the liquid lithium input through the delivery pipeline can enter the liquid lithium input area through the inlet of the liquid lithium input area and be temporarily stored in the liquid lithium input area.
[0013] The first flow channel is arranged in the liquid lithium input area, and the first flow channel comprises a plurality of first sub-flow channels.
[0014] In the present application, the inlet of the liquid lithium delivery area is communicated with the outlet of the first sub-flow channel through a vertical flow channel, the outlet of the liquid lithium delivery area is in contact with the top of the filter target plate, and the flow direction of the liquid lithium in the liquid lithium delivery area is parallel to the flow direction of the liquid lithium in the filter target plate, so that the liquid lithium in the traditional filter is supplied outward from the vertical direction of the target plate to the parallel direction of the flow direction of the liquid lithium in the filter target plate, so that the flow of the liquid lithium in the liquid lithium delivery area is more balanced, and the spatter caused by excessive flow is prevented, so that the distribution of the liquid lithium flowing out of the liquid lithium delivery area is more uniform, and the liquid lithium flowing out of the liquid lithium delivery area can be driven by the cooperation of its own gravity and the pressure generated by the flow, so that the film flow is spread more uniformly on the filter target plate, thereby improving the spreading coverage of the liquid lithium on the filter target plate.
[0015] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, a second flow channel is arranged in the liquid lithium delivery area, and the second flow channel comprises a plurality of second sub-flow channels, and the number of the second sub-flow channels is half of the number of the first sub-flow channels.
[0016] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the number of the first sub-flow channels is 20, i.e. the number of the second sub-flow channels is 10, such an arrangement combination not only disperses the flow, but also ensures that the flow area of the sudden expansion section changes slowly, prevents the flow difference in each flow channel from being too large, and achieves the effect of uniformly dispersing the flow.
[0017] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, a flow guide area is further arranged between the outlet of the liquid lithium conveying area and the top of the filter target plate; and the width of the flow guide area is the same as the width of the filter target plate. The flow guide area is formed by a plurality of flow guide grooves, and the plurality of flow guide grooves are arranged in parallel and at equal intervals in the width direction of the liquid lithium conveying area. The flow direction of the liquid lithium in each flow guide groove is parallel to the flow direction of the liquid lithium in the filter target plate, so as to increase the spreading property of the liquid lithium when flowing along the filter target plate, and enable the liquid lithium to spread and cover a larger area when flowing.
[0018] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the width of each flow guide groove is 2mm±0.2mm, and the height is 0.5mm±0.05mm; and the interval between adjacent two flow guide grooves is 1mm±0.1mm. It should be noted that the size of the flow guide groove is the optimal cross-sectional size and distribution in a certain flow range obtained by COMSOL simulation and experimental data in the research process of the present application. The arrangement of the flow guide groove not only makes the flow area consistent with the cross-sectional area of the lithium inlet pipe without flow congestion, but also the dense arrangement and flat outlet can further improve the uniformity of the liquid distribution in the membrane flow area, thereby further improving the uniformity of the membrane flow formed by the liquid lithium on the filter target plate.
[0019] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, angle adjusting plates are detachably connected to both sides of the liquid film generator through bolts, and the angle adjusting plates are used to adjust the inclination angle of the liquid film generator. Since the filter target plate and the heating bottom plate are detachably installed on the liquid film generator through bolts, the bolts are in a tightened state in the use state, and then the inclination angle of the liquid film generator is adjusted, so as to adjust the inclination angle of the overall structure of the liquid lithium filter device.
[0020] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, a first heating wire mounting groove is formed in the back of the heating bottom plate, and the first heating wire mounting groove is distributed in a serpentine shape, so as to increase the heating area of the filter target plate and improve the heating efficiency.
[0021] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, second heating wire mounting grooves are formed in the liquid lithium input area and the liquid lithium conveying area, and the second heating wire mounting grooves are used to mount heating wires, so as to prevent the liquid lithium from solidifying before being input into the filter target plate.
[0022] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the second heating wire mounting groove is detachably connected with a heating cover plate through bolts, so as to fix the installed heating wire in position through the heating cover plate and improve the heating efficiency of the heating wire.
[0023] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the liquid lithium deflector device further comprises a liquid lithium collecting groove, which is in the shape of a truncated cylinder and is arranged below the deflector target plate to collect the liquid lithium flowing from the target plate.
[0024] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the outlet of the liquid lithium collecting groove is in communication with the inlet of the conveying pipeline, so that the liquid lithium can continue to be input into the liquid lithium input area through the conveying pipeline when the liquid lithium in the liquid lithium input area is less.
[0025] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the bottom of the liquid lithium collecting groove is provided with a third heating wire mounting groove for mounting a heating wire to prevent the liquid lithium in the liquid lithium collecting groove from solidifying.
[0026] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the top of the liquid lithium input area is further provided with a cover plate to prevent the liquid lithium from splashing out during the flowing process.
[0027] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the materials of the liquid film generator, the deflector target plate, the heating bottom plate and the conveying pipeline are stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant to avoid the pollution of the liquid lithium caused by the corrosion of the components.
[0028] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the inner diameter of the conveying pipeline is 8mm±0.5mm. The conveying pipeline with the above-mentioned size can not only keep the flow rate of the liquid lithium within the flow metering range at the target flow rate to ensure the measurement of the flow meter, but also can effectively prevent the flow from being blocked after the conveying pipeline is connected with the deflector flow guide area outlet due to the similar cross-sectional area of the conveying pipeline and the deflector flow guide area outlet. In addition, if the inner diameter of the conveying pipeline is too large, the pipeline with a larger inner diameter needs a larger heating power, i.e. a more dense arrangement of heating wires, which has the risk of burning the heating wires. Therefore, the use of the above-mentioned size of the conveying pipeline can also effectively avoid the burning of the heating wires.
[0029] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the length and width of the heating bottom plate are the same as the length and width of the deflector target plate.
[0030] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, a plurality of first threaded mounting holes are formed on the liquid lithium delivery area of the liquid lithium deflector device, and a plurality of second threaded mounting holes and third threaded mounting holes are formed on the deflector target plate and the heating base plate respectively, which are matched with the first threaded mounting holes, so that the deflector target plate and the heating base plate are sequentially connected to the liquid lithium delivery area by bolts.

In the embodiment, the detachable structure can facilitate the replacement of the target plate in the later stage, thereby effectively reducing the experimental engineering quantity and material consumption.
[0053] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the inlet of the liquid lithium input area 11 is communicated with the outlet of the conveying pipeline 4, so that after the liquid lithium is input through the conveying pipeline 4, it can enter the liquid lithium input area 11 through the outlet of the conveying pipeline 4 and the inlet of the liquid lithium input area 11 and be temporarily stored in the liquid lithium input area 11, so as to prepare for the subsequent uniform spreading on the deflector target plate 2.
