For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, "front" information can also be called "rear" information, and "rear" information can also be called "front" information.

[0020] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the superconducting coil 200 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a coil body 210 and a conductor terminal 220. The orthopedic tooling 100 of the superconducting coil 200 includes a material tray 10, a plurality of first clamping modules 20, and a plurality of second clamping modules 30. The shape of the material tray 10 is adapted to the superconducting coil 200, and the material tray 10 has a lifting portion 12 capable of performing lifting cooperation; the first clamping module 20 is detachably arranged on the material tray 10, and includes a first main body portion 21 and a first limiting portion 22. The first main body portion 21 has at least one first limiting space 20a for the coil body 210 to pass through. At least a part of the first limiting portion 22 is telescopically arranged in the first limiting space 20a for adjusting the position and shape of the coil body 210. The plurality of first clamping modules 20 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the circumference of the coil body 210; the second clamping module 30 is detachably arranged on the material tray 10, and includes a second main body portion 31 and a second limiting portion 32. The second main body portion 31 has at least one second limiting space 30a for the conductor terminal 220 to pass through. At least a part of the second limiting portion 32 is telescopically arranged in the second limiting space 30a for adjusting the position and shape of the conductor terminal 220. The plurality of second clamping modules 30 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the length direction of the conductor terminal 220.

[0021] In this embodiment, the material tray 10 serves as the installation basis of the orthopedic tooling 100, and specifically may include a seat body portion 11 for assembling functional modules and a lifting portion 12 arranged on the seat body portion 11. Among them, the seat body portion 11 of the material tray 10 includes a coil placement area arranged in a ring shape and a terminal placement area connected to the periphery of the coil placement area. The superconducting coil 200 includes a coil body 210 arranged in a ring shape and a conductor terminal 220 connected to the periphery of the coil body 210, so that the overall contour of the material tray 10 can match the superconducting coil 200. In some embodiments, the lifting portions 12 may be evenly distributed along the circumference of the seat body portion 11, and the material tray 10 can be hoisted and cooperated with an external hoisting tool through the lifting portions 12, so that the external hoisting tool can move and place the material tray 10 on the heat treatment station of the superconducting coil 200 through the lifting portions 12.

[0022] Among them, the shape of the coil body 210 in this embodiment may be Figure 1 shown as D-shaped, or the coil body 210 may also be but not limited to being C-shaped, circular, square, threaded, etc. Correspondingly, the overall contour of the coil placement area of the material tray 10 may also be but not limited to being D-shaped, C-shaped, circular, square, threaded, etc., so that the overall shape of the material tray 10 can be adapted to the superconducting coil 200. The specific implementation manner can be set according to actual needs and is not limited herein.

[0023] Specifically, the first main body portion 21 of the first clamping module 20 and the second main body portion 31 of the second clamping module 30 are respectively detachably connected to the seat body portion 11 of the tray 10. A first limiting space 20a for the coil body 210 to pass through and a second limiting space 30a for the conductor terminal 220 to pass through are respectively formed in the first main body portion 21 and the second main body portion 31. In some embodiments, a coil backing plate may be provided in the first limiting space 20a, and the coil body 210 of the superconducting coil 200 may be stacked on the coil backing plate. Wherein, the theoretical contour of the superconducting coil 200 may be engraved on the upper surface of the coil backing plate, serving as a dimensional reference for the placement and shaping of the superconducting coil 200, thereby ensuring the convenience and accuracy of shaping the superconducting coil 200. Similarly, a terminal spacer 313 may be provided in the second limiting space 30a, and the theoretical contour of the conductor terminal 220 may be engraved on the upper surface of the terminal spacer 313, thereby ensuring the convenience and accuracy of shaping the conductor terminal 220.

[0024] After the coil body 210 passes through the first limiting space 20a, at least a part of the first limiting portion 22 extending into the first limiting space 20a can be abutted against the side and top portions of the coil body 210 to fixedly constrain a local portion of the coil body 210 passing through the first limiting space 20a, so as to shape the outer contour of the local coil body 210 passing through the first limiting space 20a into its theoretical contour. Since a plurality of first clamping modules 20 are provided and the plurality of first clamping modules 20 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the coil placement area, the multi-point positions on the circumference of the coil body 210 can be limited one by one by the plurality of first clamping modules 20 at the same time, thereby realizing the overall shaping of the coil body 210. Moreover, during the heat treatment process of the superconducting coil 200, the first clamping module 20 can also maintain the fixed constraint on the coil body 210, thereby realizing the shape retention effect on the coil body 210.

[0025] Similarly, after the conductor terminal 220 passes through the second limiting space 30a, at least a part of the second limiting portion 32 extending into the first limiting space 20a can be abutted against the side and top portions of the conductor terminal 220 to fixedly constrain a local portion of the conductor terminal 220 passing through the second limiting space 30a, so as to shape the outer contour of the local conductor terminal 220 passing through the second limiting space 30a into its theoretical contour. Since a plurality of second clamping modules 30 are provided and the plurality of second clamping modules 30 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the length direction of the terminal placement area, the multi-point positions in the length direction of the conductor terminal 220 can be limited respectively at the same time, thereby being able to realize the overall shaping of the conductor terminal 220. Moreover, during the heat treatment process of the superconducting coil 200, the second clamping module 30 can also maintain the fixed constraint on the conductor terminal 220, thereby realizing the shape retention effect on the conductor terminal 220.

[0026] Among them, the first main body portion 21 may have a single first limiting space 20a. At this time, multiple first clamping modules 20 can be used to position and orthotropically correct multiple points on the circumferential direction of one layer of the coil body 210; alternatively, the first main body portion 21 may also have two first limiting spaces 20a, and the two first limiting spaces 20a are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. At this time, multiple first clamping modules 20 can use the two layers of first limiting spaces 20a to respectively position and orthotropically correct multiple points on the circumferential direction of two layers of the coil body 210, so that the orthotropic correction tooling 100 can simultaneously realize the anti-deformation function of the coil bodies of two layers of superconducting coils 200; or, the first main body portion 21 may also have more than two first limiting spaces 20a, whereby the orthotropic correction tooling 100 can simultaneously realize the anti-deformation function of the coil bodies of more than two superconducting coils 200. The specific number of the first limiting spaces 20a of the first main body portion 21 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited herein.

[0027] Similarly, the second main body portion 31 may have a single second limiting space 30a, or may have two second limiting spaces 30a arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, or may have more than two second limiting spaces 30a; the specific number of the second limiting spaces 30a of the second main body portion 31 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited herein.

[0028] In some embodiments, structures such as the material tray 10, the first clamping module 20, and the second clamping module 30 may have a thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of the superconducting coil 200, so as to have an approximate degree of expansion or contraction during the heat treatment process, so as to ensure the dimensional stability of the orthotropic correction tooling 100 and avoid precision deviation.

[0029] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the first limiting portion 22 of the embodiment of the present invention includes at least one first top limiting mechanism 221 and at least two first side limiting mechanisms 222. At least one first top limiting mechanism 221 extends into the first limiting space 20a and is movably connected to the top wall of the first limiting space 20a. The first top limiting mechanism 221 is used to move in the up and down direction toward or away from the coil body 210 to abut against the top surface of the coil body 210; at least two first side limiting mechanisms 222 extend into the first limiting space 20a and are relatively spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and are respectively movably connected to the opposite side walls of the first limiting space 20a in the horizontal direction. The first side limiting mechanisms 222 are used to move in the horizontal direction toward or away from the coil body 210 to abut against the side portion of the coil body 210.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first main body portion 21 of the first clamping module 20 includes a first side plate 211 and a first top plate 212. The two first side plates 211 are respectively arranged on the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side of the coil placement area. A first top plate 212 is connected between the tops of the two first side plates 211. A coil cushion plate is further connected between the two first top plates 212. The coil cushion plate is spaced apart from the bottom side of the first top plate 212. With such an arrangement, a first limiting space 20a can be formed by enclosing with the two first side plates 211, a first top plate 212 and a coil cushion plate. The two first side plates 211 are respectively used to form the opposite side walls of the first limiting space 20a, and the first top plate 212 and the coil cushion plate are respectively used to form the top wall and the bottom wall of the first limiting space 20a.

[0031] Of course, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first main body portion 21 of the first clamping module 20 may also include two or more first top plates 212 arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction to form the top wall of the first limiting space 20a by splicing the multiple first top plates 212; similarly, the first clamping module 20 may also be provided with multiple first side plates 211 arranged in sequence in the vertical direction to form one of the side walls of the first limiting space 20a by splicing the multiple first side plates 211. The specific implementation manner can be set according to actual needs and is not limited herein.

[0032] Further, the first limiting portion 22 includes at least one first top limiting mechanism 221 and at least two first side limiting mechanisms 222. Among them, the first top limiting mechanism 221 is movably connected to the first top plate 212. At least a part of the first top limiting mechanism 221 is located in the first limiting space 20a and is used to move toward or away from the coil body 210 in the up and down direction to abut against the top surface of the coil body 210. The first side limiting mechanism 222 is movably connected to the first side plate 211. At least a part of each first side limiting mechanism 222 is located in the first limiting space 20a and is used to move toward or away from the coil body 210 in the horizontal direction to abut against the side portion of the coil body 210.

[0033] With such an arrangement, by pressing the first top limiting mechanism 221 against the top of the coil body 210, the position and size of the coil body 210 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, and the flatness of the upper surface of the coil body 210 can be corrected and positioned. By controlling the movement of the first side limiting mechanism 222 toward or away from the coil body 210, the position of the first side limiting mechanism 222 in the horizontal direction can be adjusted, and then the position and the outer shape size of the coil body 210 can be regulated in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the correction and positioning of the circumferential shape of the coil body 210.

[0034] Furthermore, after the correction of the coil body 210 is completed, the first main body part 21 and the first limiting part 22 can be kept in fixed connection, so that the first clamping module 20 can maintain a fixed constraint on the coil body 210 in the first limiting space 20a through the first side limiting mechanism 222 and the first top limiting mechanism 221 to maintain the shape limitation of the coil body 210.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first top plate 212 is provided with a first adjustment channel, and the first adjustment channel is arranged to pass through the first top plate 212 in the vertical direction; the first top limiting mechanism 221 includes a first pressing piece 221b and a first adjusting bolt 221a, and the first pressing piece 221b is arranged in the first limiting space 20a, and is used to be placed on the top side of the coil body 210, one end of the first adjusting bolt 221a is abutted against the top side of the first pressing piece 221b, and the other end can be movably arranged through the first adjustment channel, and is threadedly connected to at least part of the inner wall of the first adjustment channel.

[0037] The first pressing member 221b is in a block shape, and is disposed on the top side of the coil body 210, and has a first pressing surface disposed toward the coil body 210, and the first pressing surface is a horizontal surface. The first top plate 212 includes a top plate body and a sleeve connected to the top side of the top body, and the top plate body is provided with a through hole for the first adjusting bolt 221a to pass through, and the sleeve is through-set at both ends, and a fixing nut is connected to the side of the sleeve away from the top body, and the fixing nut is provided with a threaded hole. The through hole of the top plate body, the inner cavity of the sleeve, and the threaded hole of the fixing nut are relatively disposed in the vertical direction, and are sequentially connected to form a first adjustment channel. The first adjusting bolt 221a is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. When the first adjusting bolt 221a rotates forward or reversely relative to the fixing nut, the end of the first adjusting bolt 221a extending into the first limiting space 20a can move toward or away from the first pressing member 221b, and the first pressing member 221b can be tightened or loosened on the top side of the coil body 210 through the first adjusting bolt.

[0038] It should be noted that after the superconducting coil 200 is heat treated, if the bolt connection pair is stuck and cannot be disassembled, the first adjusting bolt 221a can be cut off from the position where the sleeve is located to achieve cutting and disassembly of the first adjusting bolt 221a.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the first limiting space 20a of the embodiment of the present invention is penetrated with a second adjustment channel, and at least a portion of the second adjustment channel is provided with an internal thread, and the first side limiting mechanism 222 includes a second pressing piece 222b and a second adjusting bolt 222a, and the second pressing piece 222b is arranged in the first limiting space 20a, and is used to be placed on the side of the coil body 210; one end of the second adjusting bolt 222a abuts against the side of the second pressing piece 222b away from the coil body 210, and the other end is passed through the second adjustment channel to be threadedly connected with the side wall of the first limiting space 20a.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second pressing member 222b is in the shape of a block, and the second pressing member 222b is arranged on the side of the coil body 210, and has a second pressing surface arranged toward the coil body 210, and the second pressing surface is a vertical surface. Similar to the first top plate 212, the first side plate 211 includes a side plate body and a sleeve connected to the outside of the top body, and the side plate body is provided with a through hole for the second adjusting bolt 222a to pass through, and the sleeve is through-set at both ends, and a fixing nut is connected to the side of the sleeve away from the top body, and the fixing nut is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection with the second adjusting bolt 222a. In this way, the second pressing member 222b can be pressed against or released on the side of the coil body 210 by rotating the second adjusting bolt in the forward or reverse direction; and when the bolt connection pair is stuck, the second adjusting bolt 222a can be cut off from the position where the sleeve is located to achieve cutting and disassembly of the second adjusting bolt 222a.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first main body 21 of the embodiment of the present invention has at least two first limiting spaces 20a, and the at least two first limiting spaces 20a are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. Two adjacent first limiting spaces 20a are separated by a coil pad, and at least two first side limiting mechanisms 222 are correspondingly provided in each first limiting space 20a.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first clamping module 20 may include at least two coil pads. It is assumed that the two coil pads are the first pad 223 and the second pad 224 respectively. The first pad 223, the second pad 224, and the first top plate 212 are arranged at intervals in sequence from bottom to top. With such an arrangement, one of the first limiting spaces 20a can be formed by enclosing the second pad 224, the two first side plates 211, and the first top plate 212, and another first limiting space 20a can be formed by enclosing the first pad 223, the two first side plates 211, and the second pad 224. Moreover, the two first limiting spaces 20a can be separated by the second pad 224.

[0043] Wherein, each first limiting space 20a can be penetrated by one layer of coil body 210. Thus, the first clamping module 20 can be in limiting cooperation with two layers of coil bodies 210 simultaneously, which is beneficial to improving the orthopedic efficiency of the first clamping module 20. In addition, the theoretical contours of the superconducting coils 200 can be engraved on the upper surfaces of the first pad 223 and the second pad 224, serving as the size reference for the placement and orthopedic of the superconducting coils 200. Thereby, the convenience and accuracy of the orthopedic of each layer of superconducting coils 200 by the first clamping module 20 can be ensured.

[0044] Further, when two layers of coil bodies 210 are respectively penetrated in the adjacent two layers of first limiting spaces 20a, the coil body 210 located in the upper first limiting space 20a can be pressed on the upper surface of the coil pad between the adjacent two layers of first limiting spaces 20a, and this coil pad can be tightly pressed on the upper surface of the coil body 210 located in the lower first limiting space 20a. With such an arrangement, the coil body 210 located in the lower layer can be oppressed by the weights of the upper layer coil body 210 and the coil pad, and thereby the constraint of the lower layer coil body 210 in the vertical direction can be realized.

[0045] It should be noted that when the first main body 21 has at least two first limiting spaces 20a, the first pad 223 can be first placed on the tray 10, then the two first side plates 211 of the first frame in the first clamping module 20 can be installed on the tray 10, and then the coil body 210 located in the lower layer, the second pad 224, and the coil body 210 located in the upper layer can be placed in sequence, and finally the first top plate 21 can be assembled to complete the assembly of the first clamping module 20.

[0046] Certainly, the technical solution of the present invention can also form two or more first limiting spaces 20a arranged in the vertical direction in the first main body 21 by setting more than two coil pads. The specific implementation manner can be set according to actual needs and is not limited herein.

[0047] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the orthopedic tooling 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of pressing modules 40. The pressing modules 40 are detachably arranged on the material tray 10 and are located between two adjacent first clamping modules 20. The pressing module 40 has a pressing portion 41, and the pressing portion 41 is arranged corresponding to one of the first limiting spaces 20a in the horizontal direction to abut against the top surface of the coil body 210 passing through the corresponding first limiting space 20a.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing module 40 includes two supporting portions 42 and a pressing portion 41. The two supporting portions 42 are rod-shaped and both extend in the up-and-down direction, and are respectively arranged on the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side of the coil placement area. The pressing portion 41 is connected between the tops of the two supporting portions 42. Among them, the height of the bottom wall of the pressing portion 41 is equal to or less than the height of the second backing plate 224. The top surface of the lower-layer coil body 210 can be orthopedically shaped and positioned by pressing the pressing portion 41 against the top surface of the lower-layer coil body 210. As for the top surface of the upper-layer coil body 210, it can be limited by the first top limiting mechanism 221 provided on the first top plate 212.

[0049] In a feasible implementation manner, the pressing portion 41 can be movably arranged relative to the supporting portion 42 in the vertical direction, so that the movement of the pressing portion 41 relative to the supporting portion 42 can be controlled to increase or decrease the height of the pressing portion 41 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the adjustment flexibility of the pressing module 40. For example, the supporting portion 42 can be set as a screw rod, through holes for the screw rod to pass through can be provided at both ends of the pressing portion 41, and nuts for connecting and cooperating with the screw rod can be respectively provided on the top and bottom sides of the pressing portion 41 to realize the fastening of the pressing portion 41 through the nuts. By rotating the nuts forward or backward, the nuts can be moved relative to the supporting portion 42, and then the position of the nuts relative to the screw rod can be adjusted, and further the height position of the pressing portion 41 can be adjusted. In another feasible implementation manner, the supporting portion 42 can also be set to be telescopically arranged in the vertical direction. For example, the supporting portion 42 can be set as a telescopic rod. In this way, by controlling the supporting portion 42 to extend or contract in the vertical direction, the height of the pressing portion 41 in the vertical direction can be correspondingly increased or decreased, thereby also improving the adjustment flexibility of the pressing module 40.

[0050] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the second limiting part 32 of the embodiment of the present invention includes at least one second top limiting mechanism 321 and at least two second side limiting mechanisms 322. At least one second top limiting mechanism 321 extends into the second limiting space 30a and is movably connected to the top wall of the second limiting space 30a. The second top limiting mechanism 321 is used to move toward or away from the conductor terminal 220 in the up and down direction to abut against the top surface of the conductor terminal 220. At least two second side limiting mechanisms 322 extend into the second limiting space 30a and are relatively spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and are respectively movably connected to the opposite side walls of the second limiting space 30a in the horizontal direction. The second side limiting mechanism 322 is used to move toward or away from the conductor terminal 220 in the horizontal direction to abut against the side of the conductor terminal 220.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second main body part 31 of the second clamping module 30 includes a terminal cushion block 313, two second side plates 311 and a second top plate 312. The terminal cushion block 313 is detachably arranged on the terminal placement area. The bottoms of the two second sides are detachably connected to the opposite sides of the terminal cushion block 313. A second top plate 312 is detachably connected between the tops of the two second side plates 311. With such an arrangement, the second limiting space 30a can be formed by enclosing the two second side plates 311, a second top plate 312 and a terminal cushion block 313. The two second side plates 311 are respectively used to form the opposite side walls of the second limiting space 30a, and the second top plate 312 and the terminal cushion block 313 are respectively used to form the top wall and the bottom wall of the second limiting space 30a.

[0052] Of course, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the second main body part 31 of the second clamping module 30 can also form the top wall of the second limiting space 30a by splicing a plurality of second top plates 312, or form one of the side walls of the second limiting space 30a by splicing a plurality of second side plates 311. The specific implementation manner can be set according to actual needs and will not be limited here.

[0053] Furthermore, the second limiting part 32 includes at least one second top limiting mechanism 321 and at least two second side limiting mechanisms 322. The second top limiting mechanism 321 is movably connected to the second top plate 312, and at least part of the second top limiting mechanism 321 is located in the second limiting space 30a, and is used to move toward or away from the conductor terminal 220 in the up and down direction to abut against the top surface of the conductor terminal 220. The two second side limiting mechanisms 322 are respectively movably connected to the two second side plates 311 and are relatively spaced apart in the horizontal direction. At least part of each second side limiting mechanism 322 is located in the second limiting space 30a, and is used to move toward or away from the conductor terminal 220 in the horizontal direction to abut against the side of the conductor terminal 220.

[0054] With such a setting, by pressing the second top limiting mechanism 321 against the top of the conductor terminal 220, the position and size of the conductor terminal 220 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, and the flatness of the upper surface of the conductor terminal 220 can be corrected and positioned. By controlling the movement of the second side limiting mechanism 322 towards or away from the conductor terminal 220, the position of the second side limiting mechanism 322 in the horizontal direction can be adjusted, thereby driving the adjustment of the position and external dimensions of the conductor terminal 220 in the horizontal direction, and thus realizing the correction and positioning of the circumferential shape of the coil body 210.

[0055] Furthermore, after the correction of the conductor terminal 220 is completed, the second main body portion 31 and the second limiting portion 32 can be kept fixedly connected, so that the second clamping module 30 can maintain a fixed restraint on the conductor terminal 220 in the second limiting space 30a through the second side limiting mechanism 322 and the second top limiting mechanism 321, so as to maintain the shape limitation of the conductor terminal 220.

[0056] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 shown, one layer of the coil body 210 is usually connected with two conductor terminals 220, and each conductor terminal 220 can be jointly corrected and positioned by a plurality of second clamping modules 30 sequentially arranged at intervals along its length direction. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the second clamping modules 30 sequentially arranged at intervals along the length direction of one of the conductor terminals 220 are defined as a group, and the shaping tooling 100 includes multiple groups of the second clamping modules 30, and multiple groups of the second clamping modules 30 are sequentially arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and / or the horizontal direction. With such a setting, multiple groups of the second clamping modules 30 can be used to correct and position multiple terminals respectively, and the shape limitation of the conductor terminal 220 can be maintained respectively.

[0057] As Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, the shaping tooling 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of guiding modules 50. The guiding module 50 includes at least two guiding mechanisms 51 arranged at intervals relatively. The guiding mechanism 51 includes a positioning portion 511 and a guiding portion 512. The positioning portion 511 is detachably arranged on the material tray 10, and a positioning space 511a for the coil body 210 to pass through is formed between at least two positioning portions 511; the guiding portion 512 is connected above the positioning portion 511 and has a guiding surface 512a capable of guiding the coil body 210 to enter the positioning space 511a downward. With such a setting, during the process of placing the superconducting coil 200 on the material tray 10 of the shaping tooling 100, the superconducting coil 200 can be preliminarily positioned through the guiding module 50, so as to improve the placing accuracy of the superconducting coil 200.

[0058] Specifically, the positioning portion 511 extends in the vertical direction and is disposed on the periphery of the coil placement area. Its height in the vertical direction is greater than the height of the top surface of the coil placement area, so that a part of the positioning portion 511 can protrude above the side of the coil placement area. A positioning space 511a for placing the coil body 210 is formed between the two positioning portions 511. Further, guiding portions 512 may be provided above the installation portions facing each other. One side of the two guiding portions 512 facing each other is an inclined surface for guiding the coil body 210 to enter the positioning space 511a from top to bottom.

[0059] In some embodiments, a protective member may be provided on one side of the two guiding mechanisms 51 facing each other. The protective member may be, but is not limited to, a G10 gasket. By providing a protective member at the top of the guiding mechanism 51, it can play a protective role for the coil body 210 during the process of dropping the superconducting coil 200, so as to reduce the risk of scratching the surface of the superconducting coil 200.

[0060] As Figure 2 shown, the tray 10 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a seat body portion 11 and a lifting portion 12. The shape of the seat body portion 11 is adapted to the superconducting coil 200. An installation surface 111 is formed at the top end of the seat body portion 11 for butt-connecting with a plurality of first clamping modules 20 and a plurality of second clamping modules 30; the lifting portion 12 includes a connecting member 121 and two lifting members 122. The connecting member 121 is detachably disposed on the seat body portion 11 and is butt-connected with the installation surface 111. Opposite ends of the connecting member 121 protrude out of the installation surface 111 and are respectively connected to the two lifting members 122.

[0061] In this embodiment, a plurality of lifting portions 12 are provided, and the plurality of lifting portions 12 are evenly distributed in sequence along the circumference of the seat body portion 11. Among them, the connecting member 121 of the lifting portion 12 may be in the shape of a plate body, which can be placed on the top end of the seat body portion 11 and is in butt-fit with the installation surface 111; the lifting member 122 may be specifically provided as a lifting lug, and an external lifting tool can realize the lifting cooperation with the tray 10 through the lifting lug to drive the tray 10 to move and drop.

[0062] Among them, positioning structures such as key grooves and pin holes may be provided on the installation surface 111 of the tray 10, but are not limited to these, to accurately position components such as the first clamping module 20, the second clamping module 30, and the connecting member 121 through the positioning structures, so as to be beneficial to ensuring the assembly accuracy of the orthopedic tooling 100.

[0063] In a feasible implementation manner, the tray 10 can be prepared by a casting process to meet the strength requirements of the orthopedic tooling 100 during the heat treatment process; a hollow structure may be provided on the tray 10 to achieve the balance of the stiffness and weight of the tray 10.

[0064] Specifically, the working process of the present invention is as follows: First, the material tray 10 is moved through the lifting lugs so that the material tray 10 can be placed on the heat treatment station of the superconducting coil 200. Among them, the material tray 10 must be leveled before being placed. Secondly, the guiding module 50 is installed on the material tray 10, and a coil backing plate and a terminal cushion block 313 are respectively installed on the coil placement area and the terminal placement area of the seat body part 11 of the material tray 10, thereby completing the preparatory work before placing the superconducting coil 200. Subsequently, the two first side plates 211 of the first frame body in the first clamping module 20 and the two second side plates 311 of the second frame body in the second clamping module 30 are respectively installed on the material tray 10, and then a layer of superconducting coil 200 is placed on the seat body part 11 of the material tray 10 through a special lifting tool. A first side limiting mechanism 222 is movably connected to the first side plate 211, and a second side limiting mechanism 322 is movably connected to the second side plate 311. The first side limiting mechanism 222 and the second side limiting mechanism 322 can respectively correct the position and size of the coil body 210 and the conductor terminal 220 in the horizontal direction. Then, the first top plate 212 in the first frame body and the second top plate 312 in the second frame body are respectively installed. A first top limiting mechanism 221 is movably connected to the first top plate 212, and a second top limiting mechanism 321 is movably connected to the second top plate 312. The first top limiting mechanism 221 and the second top limiting mechanism 321 can respectively correct the position and size of the coil body 210 and the conductor terminal 220 in the vertical direction. With such a setting, the superconducting coil 200 can be cooperatively corrected into its theoretical contour by the first clamping module 20 and the second clamping module 30.

[0065] Further, after completing the correction work of the superconducting coil 200, the user can remove structures such as the guiding mechanism 51 and the lifting lugs on the material tray 10, and only retain the material tray 10, the first clamping module 20 and the second clamping module 30 of the correction tooling 100 on the heat treatment platform, so that the first clamping module 20 and the second clamping module 30 can respectively maintain the fixed restraint on the coil body 210 and the conductor terminal 220 during the heat treatment process, so as to realize the shape retention function of the superconducting coil 200 during the heat treatment process.

[0066] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
