Its current carrying capacity is 100 times that of copper wires of the same size, and it can achieve lossless power transmission. It has developed rapidly in the fields of energy, electricity, transportation, etc. In practical applications, superconducting tapes in low temperature environments may be subject to additional stress or strain. When the strain exceeds the maximum allowable value, the current carrying performance of the superconducting tape will be seriously damaged. Since the current carrying performance of the superconducting layer of the superconducting tape is sensitive to mechanical strain, it is necessary to test the strain and current carrying performance of the superconducting tape.

When a test current of 50A~250A is passed, the current-passing area is required to be insulated from the main body of the equipment. Existing equipment has deficiencies in insulation design, making it difficult to effectively isolate the current-passing area from the main body of the equipment, resulting in the risk of current leakage or short circuit during the test. Existing test methods need to be carried out under multiple conditions of low temperature, strain and current, which are complicated to operate and have high technical requirements for operators, increasing the difficulty and cost of testing.

[0022] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present application provides a superconducting tape current-carrying test device, comprising a tape fixing module 1, a temperature control module 2 and a stretching module 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.
[0023] The strip fixing module 1 includes a first isolation plate 11a, a first tension base 12a, a second tension base 12b and a second isolation plate 11b. The first tension base 12a and the second tension base 12b are arranged opposite to each other for fixing the superconducting strip 4. The first isolation plate 11a is located below the first tension base 12a, and the second isolation plate 11b is located above the second tension base 12b. The strip fixing module 1 is combined with the stretching module 3 to realize the online stress and strain operation of the superconducting strip 4 during the current carrying performance test of the superconducting strip 4. By setting the isolation plate, it is ensured that the test section of the superconducting strip 4 is in a stable and uniform temperature state. The insulation and heat insulation functions of the isolation plate can be realized by using an epoxy plate, but are not limited to epoxy plates.

The cryogenic container 21 is sleeved on the outside of the first tension base 12a and the second tension base 12b, and the lifting platform 22 carries the cryogenic container 21. The arrangement of the cryogenic container 21 and the lifting platform 22 facilitates the superconducting tape 4 to flexibly enter or leave the cryogenic container 21, and realizes the control of the heating or cooling process.

[0025] The stretching module 3 is connected to the first tension base 12a and / or the second tension base 12b.
[0026] The present application sets a first isolation plate 11a and a second isolation plate 11b in the strip fixing module 1. The isolation plates have heat insulation and insulation functions. The heat insulation function can ensure that the test section of the superconducting strip 4 is in a stable and uniform temperature state as a whole, and the insulation function can isolate the strip fixing module 1 from the stretching module 3. The setting of the stretching module 3 can not only ensure the measurement accuracy and controllability of the tension and tensile displacement, but also realize the online stress and strain operation of the superconducting strip 4 during the current carrying performance test of the superconducting strip 4. The setting of the low-temperature container 21 and the lifting platform 22 facilitates the superconducting strip 4 to flexibly enter or leave the low-temperature container 21, which is convenient for operation and temperature control; the lifting design helps to maintain the stable and uniform low-temperature state of the superconducting strip 4.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the strip fixing module 1 further includes a first current-carrying plate 13a and a second current-carrying plate 13b, wherein the first current-carrying plate 13a is located between the first isolation plate 11a and the first tension base 12a, and the second current-carrying plate 13b is located between the second isolation plate 11b and the second tension base 12b.
[0028] The strip fixing module 1 is connected by bolts between the top plate 17 and the bottom plate 18 to form a main structure with good stability for supporting other components. The bottom plate 18 has a groove on the upper side to fix the first isolation plate 11a at the bottom to ensure its stable position. The upper side of the first isolation plate 11a is the first current-carrying plate 13a at the bottom, which is used for connecting the current source.
[0029] The second tension base 12b has a second current-carrying plate 13b on the upper side thereof, which is used for connecting a current source. The second current-carrying plate 13b has a second isolation plate 11b on the upper side thereof, which realizes insulation and heat insulation between the second tension base 12b and the first tension rod 31 .
[0030] A first current-carrying plate 13a and a second current-carrying plate 13b are arranged opposite to each other in the strip fixing module 1. The two current-carrying plates are respectively located between the first isolation plate 11a and the first tension base 12a, and between the second isolation plate 11b and the second tension base 12b.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the strip fixing module 1 further includes a first isolation ring 14a and a first pressure ring 15a, and the first isolation ring 14a and the first pressure ring 15a are sleeved on the outside of the first tension base 12a and cover the first current-carrying plate 13a in sequence.
[0032] The upper side of the first tension base 12a is the first isolation ring 14a, which can be an epoxy isolation ring; the first isolation ring 14a is embedded in the groove of the first pressure ring 15a, which can be a metal pressure ring; the first pressure ring 15a is connected and fixed to the bottom plate 18 by bolts, and the various components therebetween are fixed, and the bottom plate 18 can be a metal round plate.
[0033] The first isolation ring 14a and the first pressure ring 15a are sleeved on the outer side of the first tension base 12a, and cover the first current-carrying plate 13a in sequence. The main functions of these two annular components are to provide additional insulation and pressure distribution.
[0034] The first isolation ring 14a is usually made of epoxy material with good insulation performance, located on the upper side of the first tension base 12a, and embedded in the groove of the first pressure ring 15a. The use of the first isolation ring 14a provides an additional insulation layer to prevent current leakage and ensure the safety of the current path during the test.
[0035] The first pressure ring 15a is usually made of metal material to provide structural strength and pressure. It is connected and fixed to the bottom plate 18 by bolts to ensure the stability of the entire base module. The first pressure ring 15a can evenly distribute pressure, protect the first current-carrying plate 13a and the first tension base 12a, and prevent damage caused by excessive local pressure.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the strip fixing module 1 further includes a second isolation ring 14b and an annular gasket 15b, and the second isolation ring 14b and the annular gasket 15b are sleeved on the outside of the first pull rod 31 and cover the second current-carrying plate 13b in sequence.
[0037] The upper side of the first pull rod 31 is the second isolation ring 14b, which can be an epoxy isolation ring; the upper side of the second isolation ring 14b is an annular gasket 15b; the annular gasket 15b is fixed to the second tension base 12b by bolts; the annular gasket 15b is used to protect the second isolation ring 14b.
[0038] The second isolation ring 14b and the annular gasket 15b are sleeved on the outer side of the first pull rod 31, and cover the second current-carrying plate 13b in sequence. The main functions of these components are to provide insulation and protection.
[0039] The second isolation ring 14b is usually made of epoxy material, has good insulation properties, and is located on the upper side of the first pull rod 31. The annular gasket 15b is located on the upper side of the second isolation ring 14b, and is fixed to the second tension base 12b by bolts to protect the second isolation ring 14b from damage. The first tension base 12a is insulated in the vertical direction by upper and lower epoxy materials to ensure contact-free insulation between the first base and the second pull rod 19 and the bottom fixing bolts. The various epoxy components meet the insulation and heat insulation effects at the same time. Epoxy materials have both insulation and heat insulation effects, which help maintain the stability of the test environment. Through these insulation and heat insulation measures, the influence of external factors on the test results is reduced, and the reliability and accuracy of the test are improved.
[0040] The central circular hole of the annular gasket 15b is larger than the diameter of the first tie rod 31, achieving non-contact insulation. The central circular hole of the second isolation ring 14b is consistent with the diameter of the first tie rod 31, ensuring fastening without affecting the insulation performance. The apertures of the multiple through holes at the bottom of the first tie rod 31 are much larger than the annular gasket 15b and the second isolation ring 14b, so that the bolts can pass through without contacting the first tie rod 31. The bolts between the second tension base 12b and the annular gasket 15b are wrapped with insulating paper to achieve double insulation between the first tie rod 31 and the bolts. The use of the annular gasket 15b protects the second isolation ring 14b, prolongs its service life, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0041] The design of the epoxy isolation ring and the annular gasket 15b achieves efficient electrical insulation, prevents current leakage, and ensures the safety of the test. The design of the central circular hole and the insulation wrapping of the bolt ensures double insulation between the first pull rod 31 and the bolt, avoiding the risk of short circuit.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the strip fixing module 1 further includes a first strip clamp 16a and a second strip clamp 16b, wherein the first strip clamp 16a is arranged on a side of the first tension base 12a facing the second tension base 12b, and the second strip clamp 16b is arranged on a side of the second tension base 12b facing the first tension base 12a.
[0043] The first tape clamp 16a and the second tape clamp 16b are used to directly contact the superconducting tape 4 to fix the superconducting tape 4. The superconducting tape 4 and the tape fixing module 1 are connected by welding clamp crimping: the arrangement of the tape clamp makes the replacement of the superconducting tape 4 easier.

These adapters are used to convert and transmit torque to ensure accurate transmission and measurement of tensile force.
[0050] Through the cooperation of the stretching motor and the tension sensor 32, the stretching force of the superconducting tape 4 can be accurately controlled to improve the accuracy of the test. The stretching motor can automatically apply strain according to a preset program to achieve automated testing and reduce human errors. The tension sensor 32 can monitor the magnitude of the stretching force in real time to ensure the stability of the force during the test, which helps to obtain reliable test data.

The bottom plate 18 mainly supports the strip fixing module 1, and the top plate 17 is provided with a through hole to facilitate the strip fixing module 1 and the superconducting strip 4 to pass through the through hole to connect with the stretching module 3. The top plate 17 mainly supports the tension of the stretching module 3 and balances the upward tension of the strip fixing module 1.
[0053] The part below the top plate 17 is immersed in a cryogenic container 21 to achieve the low temperature of the superconducting tape. The cryogenic container 21 can be a liquid nitrogen tank to achieve a low temperature environment for the superconducting tape 4. In this way, the temperature of the superconducting tape 4 can be reduced to make it reach a superconducting state. The cryogenic container 21 can adjust the manual fixed lifting platform 22 to control the immersion depth and time of the superconducting tape 4 sample.
