DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] It should be understood that the present invention uses terms such as "front" and "back" to describe various types of information, but such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, "front" information could also be referred to as "back" information, and "back" information could also be referred to as "front" information without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the superconducting coil 200 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a coil body 210 and a conductor terminal 220, and the orthopedic tool 100 of the superconducting coil 200 includes a tray 10, a plurality of first clamping modules 20 and a plurality of second clamping modules 30. The shape of the tray 10 is adapted to the superconducting coil 200, and the tray 10 has a hoisting portion 12 that can be hoisted and matched; the first clamping module 20 is detachably provided on the tray 10, and includes a first main body portion 21 and a first limiting portion 22, and the first main body portion 21 has at least one first limiting space 20a The first limiting space 20a is used to allow the coil body 210 to pass through. At least a portion of the first limiting portion 22 is telescopically disposed in the first limiting space 20a to adjust the position and shape of the coil body 210. Multiple first clamping modules 20 are sequentially spaced along the circumference of the coil body 210. The second clamping module 30 is detachably disposed on the tray 10 and includes a second main body 31 and a second limiting portion 32. The second main body 31 has at least one second limiting space 30a, which is used to allow the conductor terminal 220 to pass through. At least a portion of the second limiting portion 32 is telescopically disposed in the second limiting space 30a to adjust the position and shape of the conductor terminal 220. Multiple second clamping modules 30 are sequentially spaced along the length of the conductor terminal 220.

[0044] In this embodiment, the material tray 10 serves as the installation base for the orthopedic tool 100, and specifically includes a base portion 11 for assembling functional modules and a lifting portion 12 provided on the base portion 11. The base portion 11 of the material tray 10 includes a coil placement area arranged in an annular shape and a terminal placement area connected to the circumference of the coil placement area. The superconducting coil 200 includes a coil body 210 arranged in an annular shape and conductor terminals 220 connected to the circumference of the coil body 210. This allows the overall profile of the material tray 10 to match that of the superconducting coil 200. In some embodiments, the lifting portions 12 can be evenly distributed along the circumference of the base portion 11. The material tray 10 can be hoisted and coordinated with an external lifting device through the lifting portions 12, so that the external lifting device can move and place the material tray 10 on the heat treatment station of the superconducting coil 200 through the lifting portions 12.

[0045] The shape of the coil body 210 of this embodiment can be as follows: Figure 1 The coil body 210 is shown as being D-shaped. Alternatively, the coil body 210 may also be, but is not limited to, a ∘ shape, a circle, a square, a spiral shape, or the like. Correspondingly, the overall contour of the coil placement area of the material tray 10 may also be, but is not limited to, a D-shape, a circle, a square, a spiral shape, or the like, so that the overall shape of the material tray 10 is compatible with the superconducting coil 200. The specific implementation method can be customized according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0046] Specifically, the first main body 21 of the first clamping module 20 and the second main body 31 of the second clamping module 30 are each detachably connected to the base 11 of the material tray 10. A first confined space 20a for the coil body 210 and a second confined space 30a for the conductor terminal 220 are respectively formed within the first main body 21 and the second main body 31. In some embodiments, a coil backing plate may be provided within the first confined space 20a, upon which the coil body 210 of the superconducting coil 200 may be stacked. The upper surface of the coil backing plate may be engraved with the theoretical outline of the superconducting coil 200, serving as a dimensional reference for placement and shaping of the superconducting coil 200, thereby ensuring ease and precision in shaping the superconducting coil 200. Similarly, a terminal block 313 may be provided within the second confined space 30a, and the upper surface of the terminal block 313 may be engraved with the theoretical outline of the conductor terminal 220, thereby ensuring ease and precision in shaping the conductor terminal 220.

[0047] After the coil body 210 is positioned within the first confined space 20a, at least the portion of the first confining portion 22 that extends into the first confined space 20a abuts against the side and top portions of the coil body 210, thereby securing and restraining the portion of the coil body 210 positioned within the first confined space 20a. This allows the contour of the coil body 210 positioned within the first confined space 20a to be reshaped to its theoretical contour. Because multiple first clamping modules 20 are provided, and these multiple first clamping modules 20 are sequentially spaced along the circumference of the coil placement area, the multiple first clamping modules 20 can simultaneously constrain multiple circumferential locations of the coil body 210, thereby achieving overall reshaping of the coil body 210. Furthermore, during the heat treatment of the superconducting coil 200, the first clamping modules 20 can maintain a secure hold on the coil body 210, thereby maintaining its conformal integrity.

[0048] Similarly, after the conductor terminal 220 is positioned within the second confining space 30a, at least a portion of the second confining portion 32 extending into the first confining space 20a can abut against the side and top portions of the conductor terminal 220, thereby securing and constraining the local portion of the conductor terminal 220 positioned within the second confining space 30a. This allows the contour of the local conductor terminal 220 positioned within the second confining space 30a to be reshaped to its theoretical contour. Because multiple second clamping modules 30 are provided, and the multiple second clamping modules 30 are sequentially spaced along the length of the terminal placement area, multiple positions along the length of the conductor terminal 220 can be simultaneously constrained, thereby achieving overall reshaping of the conductor terminal 220. Furthermore, during the heat treatment of the superconducting coil 200, the second clamping modules 30 can maintain a secure constraint on the conductor terminal 220, thereby maintaining the conformal integrity of the conductor terminal 220.

[0049] The first main body 21 may have a single first limiting space 20a, in which case multiple first clamping modules 20 may be used to position and correct multiple points on the circumference of a layer of coil bodies 210; or the first main body 21 may have two first limiting spaces 20a, which are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. In this case, the two layers of first limiting spaces 20a of the multiple first clamping modules 20 may be used to position and correct multiple points on the circumference of the two layers of coil bodies 210, respectively, so that the correction tool 100 can simultaneously achieve the anti-deformation function of the coil bodies of the two layers of superconducting coils 200; or the first main body 21 may have more than two first limiting spaces 20a, thereby enabling the correction tool 100 to simultaneously achieve the anti-deformation function of the coil bodies of the two layers of superconducting coils 200. The specific number of first limiting spaces 20a of the first main body 21 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0050] Similarly, the second main body portion 31 can have a single second limiting space 30a, or can have two second limiting spaces 30a arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, or can have more than two second limiting spaces 30a; the specific number of second limiting spaces 30a of the second main body portion 31 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0051] In some embodiments, the material tray 10, the first clamping module 20, the second clamping module 30 and other structures can have a similar thermal expansion coefficient as the superconducting coil 200, so as to have a similar degree of expansion or contraction during the heat treatment process to ensure the dimensional stability of the orthopedic tooling 100 and avoid precision deviation.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As 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 toward or away from the coil body 210 in the up and down directions 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 mechanism 222 is used to move toward or away from the coil body 210 in the horizontal direction to abut against the side of the coil body 210.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first main body 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 and outer sides of the coil placement area. A first top plate 212 is connected between the top ends of the two first side plates 211. A coil pad is also connected between the two first top plates 212. The coil pad is spaced apart on the bottom side of the first top plate 212. In this manner, a first limiting space 20a can be formed by enclosing two first side plates 211, a first top plate 212 and a coil pad. The two first side plates 211 are respectively used to constitute the opposite side walls of the first limiting space 20a, and the first top plate 212 and the coil pad are respectively used to constitute the top wall and bottom wall of the first limiting space 20a.

[0054] Of course, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first main body 21 of the first clamping module 20 may also include two or more first top plates 212 arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction, so that the top wall of the first confined space 20a is formed by splicing the multiple first top plates 212; similarly, the first clamping module 20 may also include multiple first side plates 211 arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, so that one of the side walls of the first confined space 20a is formed by splicing the multiple first side plates 211. The specific implementation method can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0055] Furthermore, the first limiting portion 22 includes at least one first top limiting mechanism 221 and at least two first side limiting mechanisms 222. The first top limiting mechanism 221 is movably connected to the first top plate 212, and at least a portion of the first top limiting mechanism 221 is located within the first limiting space 20a. The first top limiting mechanism 221 is configured to move vertically toward or away from the coil body 210 to abut against the top surface of the coil body 210. The first side limiting mechanisms 222 are movably connected to the first side plate 211. At least a portion of each first side limiting mechanism 222 is located within the first limiting space 20a. The first side limiting mechanisms 222 are configured to move horizontally toward or away from the coil body 210 to abut against the side of the coil body 210.

[0056] With this arrangement, by pressing the first top limiting mechanism 221 against the top of the coil body 210, the vertical position and dimensions of the coil body 210 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 horizontal position of the first side limiting mechanism 222 can be adjusted, thereby driving the horizontal position and external dimensions of the coil body 210 to be adjusted, thereby correcting and positioning the circumferential shape of the coil body 210.

[0057] 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 a 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.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the top wall of the first limiting space 20a of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a first adjustment channel, at least a portion of the first adjustment channel is provided with an internal thread, the first top limiting mechanism 221 includes a first pressing member 221b and a first adjusting bolt 221a, the first pressing member 221b is provided 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 member 221b, and the other end is passed through the first adjustment channel to be threadedly connected to the top wall of the first limiting space 20a.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first top plate 212 is provided with a first adjustment channel, which is arranged to pass through the first top plate 212 in the vertical direction; the first top limiting mechanism 221 includes a first pressing member 221b and a first adjusting bolt 221a, and the first pressing member 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 member 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.

[0060] The first pressing member 221b is block-shaped and is disposed on the top side of the coil body 210. The first pressing member 221b has a first pressing surface facing 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 plate body. The top plate body is provided with a through hole for the first adjustment bolt 221a to pass through. The sleeve is provided with two through holes. A fixing nut is connected to the side of the sleeve facing away from the top plate body, and the fixing nut has 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 arranged relative to each other in the vertical direction and are connected in sequence 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 then the first pressing member 221b can be tightened or loosened on the top side of the coil body 210 through the first adjusting bolt.

[0061] 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.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the first limiting space 20a of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a second adjustment channel, and at least a portion of the second adjustment channel is provided with an internal thread. The first side limiting mechanism 222 includes a second pressing piece 222b and a second adjusting bolt 222a. The second pressing piece 222b is provided 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 is in contact with 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 to the side wall of the first limiting space 20a.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second pressure member 222b is block-shaped and disposed beside the coil body 210. It has a second pressure surface facing the coil body 210, which 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 plate body. The side plate body is provided with a through hole for the second adjustment bolt 222a to pass through. The sleeve is provided at both ends. A fixing nut is connected to the side of the sleeve facing away from the top plate. The fixing nut has a threaded hole for threaded connection with the second adjustment bolt 222a. This arrangement allows the second pressure member 222b to be tightened or loosened against the side of the coil body 210 by rotating the second adjustment bolt in the forward or reverse direction. Furthermore, if the bolt connection pair becomes stuck, the second adjustment bolt 222a can be cut away from the sleeve to facilitate removal.

[0064] 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. The two adjacent first limiting spaces 20a are separated by a coil pad, and each first limiting space 20a is correspondingly provided with at least two first side limiting mechanisms 222.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first clamping module 20 may include at least two coil pads, which are respectively a first pad 223 and a second pad 224. The first pad 223, the second pad 224, and the first top plate 212 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. In this arrangement, one of the first confined 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 confined space 20a can be formed by enclosing the first pad 223, the two first side plates 211, and the second pad 224. Furthermore, the two first confined spaces 20a can be separated by the second pad 224.

[0066] Each first limiting space 20a can accommodate a layer of coil bodies 210, thereby enabling the first clamping module 20 to simultaneously limit and cooperate with two layers of coil bodies 210, which is beneficial for improving the correction efficiency of the first clamping module 20. In addition, the upper surfaces of the first pad 223 and the second pad 224 can be engraved with the theoretical outline of the superconducting coil 200, which serves as a dimensional reference for the placement and correction of the superconducting coil 200. This ensures that the first clamping module 20 can correct each layer of superconducting coil 200 with ease and accuracy.

[0067] Furthermore, when two adjacent layers of first limiting spaces 20a are respectively provided with two layers of coil bodies 210, the coil body 210 located in the upper layer of first limiting space 20a can be pressed on the upper surface of the coil pad between the two adjacent layers of first limiting spaces 20a, and the coil pad can be pressed tightly on the upper surface of the coil body 210 located in the lower layer of first limiting space 20a. In this way, the weight of the coil body 210 and the coil pad on the upper layer can press the coil body 210 on the lower layer, thereby realizing the vertical constraint of the coil body 210 on the lower layer.

[0068] 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 placed on the material tray 10 first, and then the two first side panels 211 of the first frame in the first clamping module 20 can be installed on the material tray 10, and then the coil body 210 located on the lower layer, the second pad 224 and the coil body 210 located on the upper layer can be placed in turn, and finally the first top plate 21 can be assembled to complete the assembly of the first clamping module 20.

[0069] Of course, the technical solution of the present invention can also be provided by providing two or more coil pads so that two or more first limiting spaces 20a arranged vertically are formed in the first main body 21. The specific implementation can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the orthopedic tooling 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of clamping modules 40, which are detachably arranged on the material tray 10 and located between two adjacent first clamping modules 20; the clamping module 40 has a clamping portion 41, which is arranged in the horizontal direction corresponding to one of the first limiting spaces 20a so as to abut against the top surface of the coil body 210 passing through the corresponding first limiting space 20a.

[0071] Specifically in this embodiment, the clamping module 40 includes two support parts 42 and a clamping part 41. The two support parts 42 are rod-shaped and extend in the up-down direction. They are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the coil placement area. The clamping part 41 is connected between the top ends of the two support parts 42. Among them, the height of the bottom wall of the clamping part 41 is equal to or less than the height of the second pad 224. The top surface of the lower coil body 210 can be corrected and positioned by pressing the clamping part 41 on the top surface of the lower coil body 210. As for the top surface of the upper coil body 210, it can be limited by the first top limiting mechanism 221 provided on the first top plate 212.

[0072] In a feasible embodiment, the pressing portion 41 can be movably arranged in the vertical direction relative to the support portion 42, so that the movement of the pressing portion 41 relative to the support 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 support portion 42 can be configured as a screw, and through holes for the screw to pass through can be provided at both ends of the pressing portion 41. Nuts that connect and cooperate with the screw can be provided on the top and bottom sides of the pressing portion 41, so that the pressing portion 41 can be tightened by the nuts. By rotating the nut forward or backward, the nut can be moved relative to the support portion 42, thereby adjusting the position of the nut relative to the screw, and further adjusting the height position of the pressing portion 41. In another feasible embodiment, the support portion 42 can also be configured to be retractable in the vertical direction. For example, the support portion 42 can be configured as a telescopic rod. With this configuration, the height of the clamping portion 41 in the vertical direction can be correspondingly increased or shortened by controlling the support portion 42 to extend or contract in the vertical direction, thereby also improving the adjustment flexibility of the clamping module 40.

[0073] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the second limiting portion 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 directions 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.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second main body 31 of the second clamping module 30 includes a terminal pad 313, two second side panels 311 and a second top plate 312. The terminal pad 313 is detachably arranged on the terminal placement area, and the bottom ends of the two second side panels are detachably connected to the opposite sides of the terminal pad 313. A second top plate 312 is detachably connected between the top ends of the two second side panels 311. In this way, a second limiting space 30a can be formed by enclosing two second side panels 311, a second top plate 312 and a terminal pad 313; the two second side panels 311 are respectively used to constitute the opposite side walls of the second limiting space 30a, and the second top plate 312 and the terminal pad 313 are respectively used to constitute the top wall and bottom wall of the second limiting space 30a.

[0075] Of course, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the second main body 31 of the second clamping module 30 may also be composed of a plurality of second top panels 312 spliced together to form the top wall of the second confined space 30a, or a plurality of second side panels 311 spliced together to form one of the side walls of the second confined space 30a. The specific implementation can be customized according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0076] Furthermore, the second limiting portion 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. At least a portion of the second top limiting mechanism 321 is located within the second limiting space 30a and is configured to move vertically toward or away from the conductor terminal 220 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 spaced apart horizontally. At least a portion of each second side limiting mechanism 322 is located within the second limiting space 30a and is configured to move horizontally toward or away from the conductor terminal 220 to abut against the side of the conductor terminal 220.

[0077] With this arrangement, by pressing the second top limiting mechanism 321 against the top of the conductor terminal 220, the vertical position and size of the conductor terminal 220 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 toward or away from the conductor terminal 220, the horizontal position of the second side limiting mechanism 322 can be adjusted, thereby driving the horizontal position and external dimensions of the conductor terminal 220 to be adjusted, thereby correcting and positioning the circumferential shape of the coil body 210.

[0078] 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 in fixed connection, so that the second clamping module 30 can maintain a fixed constraint 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 to maintain the shape limitation of the conductor terminal 220.

[0079] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, a layer of coil body 210 is typically connected to two conductor terminals 220. Each conductor terminal 220 can be shaped and positioned together using multiple second clamping modules 30 spaced apart along its length. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, multiple second clamping modules 30 spaced apart along the length of a conductor terminal 220 are defined as a group. The correction tool 100 includes multiple groups of second clamping modules 30, each of which is spaced apart vertically and / or horizontally. This arrangement allows multiple groups of second clamping modules 30 to individually shape and position multiple terminals, while maintaining the shape of the conductor terminals 220.

[0080] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the orthopedic tooling 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of guide modules 50. The guide modules 50 include at least two guide mechanisms 51 spaced apart from each other. The guide mechanisms 51 include a positioning portion 511 and a guide portion 512. The positioning portion 511 is detachably mounted on the tray 10. A positioning space 511a for the coil body 210 to pass through is formed between at least two positioning portions 511. The guide portion 512 is connected to the top of the positioning portion 511 and has a guide surface 512a capable of guiding the coil body 210 downward into the positioning space 511a. With this arrangement, the superconducting coil 200 can be initially positioned by the guide modules 50 during the process of being dropped onto the tray 10 of the orthopedic tooling 100, thereby improving the placement accuracy of the superconducting coil 200.

[0081] Specifically, the positioning portions 511 extend vertically and are disposed around the coil placement area. Their vertical height is greater than the height of the top surface of the coil placement area, allowing portions of the positioning portions 511 to protrude above and to the sides of the coil placement area. A positioning space 511a is formed between the two positioning portions 511 for placement of the coil body 210. Furthermore, guide portions 512 may be disposed above the mounting portions. The two guide portions 512 have inclined surfaces facing each other, configured to guide the coil body 210 from top to bottom into the positioning space 511a.

[0082] In some embodiments, protective members may be provided on the facing sides of the two guide mechanisms 51. The protective members may be, but are not limited to, G10 gaskets. Providing protective members on the tops of the guide mechanisms 51 protects the coil body 210 during placement of the superconducting coil 200, thereby reducing the risk of scratching the surface of the superconducting coil 200.

[0083] like Figure 2 As shown, the material tray 10 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a base portion 11 and a hanging portion 12. The shape of the base portion 11 is adapted to the superconducting coil 200. A mounting surface 111 is formed at the top of the base portion 11. The mounting surface 111 is used for aligning and connecting with a plurality of first clamping modules 20 and a plurality of second clamping modules 30. The hanging portion 12 includes a connecting piece 121 and two hanging pieces 122. The connecting piece 121 is detachably provided on the base portion 11 and is aligned with the mounting surface 111. The opposite ends of the connecting piece 121 protrude out of the mounting surface 111 and are respectively connected to the two hanging pieces 122.

[0084] In this embodiment, a plurality of lifting portions 12 are provided, and the plurality of lifting portions 12 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the base portion 11. The connecting member 121 of the lifting portion 12 can be in the form of a plate, which can be placed on the top of the base portion 11 and aligned with the mounting surface 111. The lifting member 122 can be specifically configured as a lifting lug, through which an external lifting device can be lifted and engaged with the material tray 10, thereby driving the material tray 10 to move and drop.

[0085] Among them, the mounting surface 111 of the material tray 10 can be provided with, but not limited to, keyways, pin holes and other positioning structures, so as to accurately position the first clamping module 20, the second clamping module 30, the connecting piece 121 and other components through the positioning structure, thereby facilitating the assembly accuracy of the orthopedic tooling 100.

[0086] In a feasible embodiment, the material tray 10 can be prepared by a casting process to meet the strength requirements of the orthopedic tool 100 during the heat treatment process; the material tray 10 can be provided with a hollow structure to achieve a balance between the rigidity and weight of the material tray 10.

[0087] Specifically, the working process of the present invention is as follows: first, the material tray 10 is moved by the lifting lugs so that the material tray 10 can be dropped on the heat treatment station of the superconducting coil 200, wherein the material tray 10 must be leveled before it can be dropped. Secondly, the guide module 50 is installed on the material tray 10, and the coil pad and the terminal pad 313 are respectively installed on the coil placement area and the terminal placement area of the base 11 of the material tray 10, thereby completing the preparation work before dropping the superconducting coil 200. Subsequently, the two first side panels 211 of the first frame of the first clamping module 20 and the two second side panels 311 of the second frame of the second clamping module 30 are respectively installed on the material tray 10, and then a layer of superconducting coils 200 is dropped on the base 11 of the material tray 10 by a special lifting device. A first side limiter 222 is movably connected to the first side panel 211, and a second side limiter 322 is movably connected to the second side panel 311. The first and second side limiters 222 and 322 can respectively adjust the horizontal position and size of the coil body 210 and the conductor terminal 220. Then, the first top panel 212 and the second top panel 312 are installed in the first frame. The first top limiter 221 is movably connected to the first top panel 212, and the second top limiter 321 is movably connected to the second top panel 312. The first and second top limiters 221 and 321 can respectively adjust the vertical position and size of the coil body 210 and the conductor terminal 220. With this arrangement, the first and second clamping modules 20 and 30 can collaboratively adjust the superconducting coil 200 to its theoretical contour.

[0088] Furthermore, after completing the correction work on the superconducting coil 200, the user can remove the guide mechanism 51, the lifting lugs and other structures on the tray 10, and only retain the tray 10, the first clamping module 20 and the second clamping module 30 of the correction tool 100 on the heat treatment platform, so that the first clamping module 20 and the second clamping module 30 can respectively maintain the fixed constraints on the coil body 210 and the conductor terminal 220 during the heat treatment process, so as to realize the conformal function of the superconducting coil 200 during the heat treatment process.

[0089] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
