[0002] In magnetic confinement plasma devices, probes are often used to study boundary temperature, density parameter profiles, boundary turbulence, and transport processes. As the parameters of magnetic confinement plasma devices increase, the plasma temperature and density further increase, but the probe window is often small, and the number of probes that can be arranged is small, especially in the radial direction. The number of spatial points is small (generally up to 8), the spatial resolution is low, and high-density arrangement cannot be achieved. In addition, the multi-needle structure leads to a large number of wire bundles, which are difficult to lead out, and then the overall thickness of the probe increases. And as an invasive diagnostic method, the probe is too large and will affect the main plasma discharge. Therefore, the existing multi-needle probes can no longer meet the needs of parameter measurement of magnetic confinement plasma devices. Summary of the invention

[0042] Example

[0043] Combination Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention provides a radial multi-needle probe for plasma boundary physics research, comprising: a detection needle body 10, wherein the detection needle body 10 is provided with a plurality of detection needle bodies, and each of the detection needle bodies 10 can detect the physical parameters of the plasma; a first mounting plate 20, wherein the first mounting plate 20 is made of ceramic material, and the first mounting plate 20 is provided with a plurality of needle holes 21, wherein the needle holes 21 are used to penetrate the detection end of the detection needle body 10; a second mounting plate 30, wherein the second mounting plate 30 is made of ceramic material, and a cable threading groove 31 is provided on one side of the second mounting plate 30, and the cable threading groove 31 is provided with a plurality of cable threading holes 32, and the cable threading holes 32 are arranged one by one corresponding to the needle threading holes 21, and the cable threading holes 32 are used to thread the cables of the detection needle body 10; a third mounting plate 40, the third mounting plate 40 is made of ceramic material, and the third mounting plate 40 can cover the cable threading groove 31; wherein, the first mounting plate 20, the second mounting plate 30 and the third mounting plate 40 are installed in sequence in a stacked manner, and in the installed state, the detection section of the detection needle body 10 protrudes from the first mounting plate 20, and the cables of the detection needle body 10 are arranged in the cable threading groove 31.

[0044] It should be understood that multiple detection needle bodies 10 can be freely combined into array dual probe, single probe, and suspended potential probe working modes according to experimental requirements to effectively analyze and diagnose boundary plasma temperature, density, electric field, parameter profile, turbulence and transport conditions, thereby carrying out a number of physical studies. In addition, the multiple detection needle bodies 10 are distributed in multiple rows, and the detection needle bodies 10 in two adjacent rows are staggered to avoid mutual obstruction of the detection needle bodies 10. In this embodiment, a total of 36 probe detection needle bodies 10 are designed, and 36 probe rods 11 are arranged in a 3×12 array, that is, 3 rows, 12 probes in each row, and the rows are staggered by a certain distance to avoid obstruction.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 The detection needle body 10 includes: a probe rod 11, which is used to detect the physical parameters of plasma; a protective cover 12, which is sleeved on the outside of the probe rod 11, and the protective cover 12 is made of ceramic material. The protective cover 12 is embedded in the first mounting plate 20, and the end of the protective cover 12 away from the first mounting plate 20 protrudes from the first mounting plate 20; wherein, the detection end of the probe rod 11 extends outside the protective cover 12, so as to insulate and protect the probe rod 11 through the protective cover 12 of ceramic material, prevent the short circuit between needles caused by the surface coating of the bottom first mounting plate 20, and ensure the alignment of the detection needle body 10.

[0046] If the probe rod 11 is made of carbon material, it will face problems such as sputtering, coating, deposition short circuit, etc., and its durability is poor. In this regard, in this embodiment, the probe rod 11 is a tungsten rod to increase the heat resistance of the probe rod 11, reduce the generation of sputtering impurities and secondary electron emission, and improve the discharge quality and the accuracy of probe diagnosis.

[0047] On this basis, the detection needle body 10 also includes: a conductive connector 13, a limiting boss 13a is arranged in the middle of the conductive connector 13, one end of the conductive connector 13 is fixedly connected to the probe rod 11, and the other end of the conductive connector 13 is used to connect the cable; a pressure spring 14, one end of the pressure spring 14 is sleeved on the other end of the conductive connector 13 and pressed against the limiting boss 13a, and the other end of the pressure spring 14 is pressed against the end of the corresponding cable threading hole 32, so that under the action of the pressure spring 14, the probe rod 11 is fully extended forward to fill the gap between the conductive connector 13 and the first connecting plate, so that the height of the probe rod 11 is consistent, ensuring that the probe is flush and fits, and plays a buffering role when the detection needle body 10 is subjected to a strong thermal shock.

[0048] Specifically, the conductive connector 13 is made of copper or copper alloy and has a three-section design, which is thick in the middle and thin at both ends. The middle part plays a fixing role, one of the two ends is crimped and fixed to the tungsten probe rod 11, and the other end is connected to the signal cable, which well connects the probe rod 11 and the signal line; at the same time, the pressure spring 14 is sleeved on the other end of the conductive connector 13, and the tail is supported by the second mounting plate 30 in the middle, so that the probe can be fully extended forward to fill the gap between the conductive connector 13 and the first mounting plate 20, so that the front end probe height is consistent.

[0049] Combination Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 20 is used to fix the detection needle body 10, and 36 holes (needle holes 21) are opened in the middle to install the detection needle body 10, the conductive connector 13 and the pressure spring 14. Since the conductive connector 13 (copper part) will be squeezed and deformed during the crimping process, the needle hole 21 is designed with a gap, that is, the diameter of the needle hole 21 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the conductive connector 13 to prevent the non-coaxiality caused by the crimping process of the conductive connector 13 and ensure the feasibility of assembly.

[0050] Combination Figure 6 The second mounting plate 30 is used for threading and pressing the top pressure spring 14, and can fix the detection needle body 10 together with the first mounting plate 20. The cable threading groove 31 arranged at the bottom is convenient for wiring, and the cable threading hole 32 arranged at the bottom of the cable threading groove 31 can fix the wiring harness led out of the detection needle body 10 to prevent the cable connector from being disconnected due to force during use, and can separate the cables from each other to avoid conduction at the tail wiring point.

[0051] At the same time, a first limiting groove 22 is provided at one end of the first mounting plate 20, and a second limiting groove 33 is provided at one end of the second mounting plate 30. The second limiting groove 33 is provided on the same side as the first limiting groove 22, so as to ensure the coaxiality of the needle threading hole 21 and the cable threading hole 32 through the cooperation between the first limiting groove 22 and the second limiting groove 33 and the same limiting member.

[0052] Among them, one end of the cable threading groove 31 is closed, and the other end is connected to the second limiting groove 33, so as to facilitate the production and processing of the second mounting plate 30. It can be understood that the multi-pin probe needs to lead out more wires and the space is small, so the design of the second limiting groove 33 can increase the accommodation space of the tail, facilitate the wiring adjustment, and achieve the design purpose of high lead-out density and small volume.

[0053] Combine again Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment also includes an installation bracket 50, and the installation bracket 50 includes: an installation frame body 51, one end of the installation frame body 51 is fixedly connected to the stacked body composed of the first installation plate 20, the second installation plate 30 and the third installation plate 40; a cable threading frame body 52, one end of the cable threading frame body 52 is fixedly connected to the other end of the installation frame body 51, and a cable laying through hole is provided in the middle of the cable threading frame body 52, and the cable laying through hole is connected to the cable threading groove 31, so as to facilitate the fixation of the first installation plate 20, the second installation plate 30 and the third installation plate 40, and at the same time facilitate the lead-out of the cables.

[0054] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 7 The mounting frame 51 is provided with a cantilever section, and the side of the third mounting plate 40 away from the second mounting plate 30 is provided with a mounting groove 41 (T-shaped groove), and the mounting groove 41 is adapted to the cantilever section to improve the stability of the overall fixation of the probe, so that the overall fixation of the probe is stable and does not loosen. The mounting bracket 50 is usually made of stainless steel.

[0055] That is, the bottom ceramic plate (third mounting plate 40 ) is used to protect the signal harness, and a groove is formed at the back thereof for supporting in cooperation with the mounting bracket 50 .

[0056] It can be understood that the first mounting plate 20, the second mounting plate 30 and the third mounting plate 40 are all provided with a plurality of corresponding mounting holes to facilitate the assembly of the probe. In this embodiment, the mounting holes on the first mounting plate 20 include countersunk holes, the mounting holes on the second mounting plate 30 include plain through holes, and the mounting holes on the third mounting plate 40 include countersunk holes for placing fixing nuts, so that the fixing screws are sunk into the ceramic to avoid the generation of ablated impurities that affect the discharge, while providing the overall aesthetics of the probe.

[0057] In summary, the radial multi-needle probe for plasma boundary physics research provided in this embodiment includes a detection needle body 10, a first mounting plate 20, a second mounting plate 30, a third mounting plate 40 and a mounting bracket 50. Since the first mounting plate 20, the second mounting plate 30 and the third mounting plate 40 are all made of ceramic materials, and the probe rod 11 is a tungsten rod, while having sufficient insulation performance, it can withstand the high temperature of the plasma and reduce the generation of sputtered impurities and secondary electron emission, thereby improving the discharge quality and the accuracy of the probe diagnosis. At the same time, the first mounting plate 20 is provided with a plurality of needle holes 21, and the detection end of the detection needle body 10 is inserted into the needle hole 21. A cable threading groove 31 is provided on one side of the second mounting plate 30, and the cable threading groove 31 is provided with a plurality of cable threading holes 32.

In addition, the third mounting plate 40 can cover the cable threading groove 31.

[0058] Thus, this embodiment can realize the arrangement of radial multi-probes and the lead-out of multiple wire harnesses, and provide thermal insulation protection for the cables through the third mounting plate 40, thereby realizing high integration and radial high-density arrangement of the probes, realizing high spatial resolution of detection, and being able to withstand thermal load. The combination of the first mounting plate 20, the second mounting plate 30, and the third mounting plate 40 only needs to provide thermal protection for the cables of the detection needle body 10, has a thin thickness and a small volume, and will not affect the main plasma discharge, which is conducive to the development of related physical research.

[0059] In summary, this embodiment can achieve high integration, radial high-density arrangement, and high spatial resolution arrangement of the probes, and has the structural characteristics of heat load resistance, thin thickness and small volume, which is conducive to the development of related physical research and meets the needs of parameter measurement of magnetic confinement plasma devices.
