Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of extremely low temperature refrigeration systems, and in particular to a Helium-3 pot for a Helium-3 plug-in. Background Art

[0002] Helium-3 plug-ins are refrigeration equipment widely used in the field of extremely low temperatures. They have the performance of rapid sample exchange and cooling. Helium-3 plug-ins can be used in basic research fields including quantum transport, low-temperature physics research, and spin electronics research. Helium-3 plug-ins can provide a temperature environment of 300mK or even lower, and can maintain the lowest temperature for dozens of hours or even longer. Helium-3 plug-ins use the physical properties of liquid helium - the saturated vapor pressure has a monotonic relationship with temperature to obtain a low-temperature environment. The specific implementation is based on the principle that the built-in activated carbon can adsorb a large amount of helium-3 at low temperatures, thereby adsorbing liquid helium-3, thereby reducing the saturated vapor pressure of helium-3 and obtaining the required extremely low temperature;

[0003] There is no specific structure in the container used to load liquid helium-3 in the helium-3 plug-in. The liquid helium-3 is only placed in the helium-3 plug-in. The container is both the location where the refrigeration effect is generated and the location where a low-temperature environment is directly provided to the sample. The existing welding process between the container for loading liquid helium-3 and the helium-3 plug-in is poor, and there is a risk of leakage under extremely low temperature conditions. At the same time, the heat transfer performance is poor, and the heat exchange temperature difference between the container and the sample is large. Summary of the Invention

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a helium-3 pot for a helium-3 plug-in includes a helium-3 pot shell 1, a helium-3 pot cover plate 3 is provided at the top inner top of the helium-3 pot shell 1, a helium-3 pot transition welding cover plate 2 is provided on the outside of the helium-3 pot cover plate 3, an annular groove B5 is provided at the top end of the helium-3 pot transition welding cover plate 2, an annular groove A4 is provided at the top end of the helium-3 pot cover plate 3, the helium-3 pot transition welding cover plate 2 and the side walls of the helium-3 pot cover plate 3 are respectively welded to the helium-3 pot shell 1 and the helium-3 pot cover plate 3, an inner hole 6 is provided inside the helium-3 pot cover plate 3, nano silver powder is sintered at the bottom end of the inner wall of the helium-3 pot shell 1, and a thermal layer threaded hole 8 is provided at the bottom end of the helium-3 pot shell 1.

[0027] Specifically, the annular thin wall formed by the annular groove A4 on the Helium III Pot cover plate 3 and the annular thin wall formed by the annular groove B5 on the Helium III Pot transition welding cover plate 2, as welding components, require little energy during welding, ensuring welding quality and preventing the pore structure of the silver powder from being destroyed. The nano-silver powder filled and sintered at the bottom of the Helium III Pot shell 1, through the sintered silver powder with extremely developed pores, greatly increases the heat exchange area at the bottom of the Helium III Pot, improves the heat exchange performance at the bottom of the Helium III Pot shell 1, and significantly reduces the heat exchange temperature difference between the Helium III Pot shell 1 and the sample.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown: an annular groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the helium triple pot shell 1, and nano silver powder is sintered inside the annular groove 10.

[0029] Specifically, the inner side of the bottom of the Helium Triple Pot housing 1 has an annular groove 10, which reduces the thickness of the bottom of the Helium Triple Pot housing 1 and reduces the heat transfer distance between the Helium Triple Pot housing and the sample. At the same time, the nano silver powder is sintered into the annular groove 10, further increasing the mass of the sintered silver powder, thereby achieving a better heat transfer effect.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown: a plurality of sample table threaded holes 7 are opened at the bottom of the helium-3 pot housing 1.

[0031] Specifically: the sample stage threaded hole 7 is convenient for fixing the sample stage;

[0033] Specifically: it is convenient for testing cable routing;

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the helium-3 pot shell 1 and the inner welding part of the helium-3 pot transition welding cover plate 2 are connected by vacuum brazing.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown: the outer welding part of the helium-3 pot cover plate 3 and the inner welding part of the helium-3 pot transition welding cover plate 2 are connected by argon arc welding or laser welding.

[0036] Specifically: low-energy argon arc welding or laser welding is used to connect the silver powder pores in the helium-3 pot without being destroyed.

[0037] Principle of use: Laser weld a stainless steel tube of corresponding size to the inner hole 6 of the helium-3 pot cover 3 as the air intake pipe of the helium-3 pot shell 1. The sample table threaded hole 7 reserved in the helium-3 pot shell 1 is convenient for fixing the sample through the reserved hole position; the annular thin wall formed by the annular groove A4 on the helium-3 pot cover 3 and the annular thin wall formed by the annular groove B5 on the helium-3 pot transition welding cover 2 require little energy during welding, which ensures the welding quality and avoids the pore structure of the silver powder from being destroyed, thereby improving the overall structural strength and stability of the device; through the helium-3 pot The nano-silver powder filled and sintered at the bottom of the shell 1 greatly increases the heat exchange area at the bottom of the helium-3 pot through the sintered silver powder with extremely developed pores, improves the heat exchange performance of the bottom of the helium-3 pot shell 1, and significantly reduces the heat exchange temperature difference between the helium-3 pot and the sample; when an annular groove 10 is opened at the bottom of the helium-3 pot shell 1, the annular groove 10 reduces the thickness of the bottom of the helium-3 pot shell 1, reduces the heat transfer distance between the helium-3 pot shell and the sample, further increases the utilization effect of the nano-silver powder, and at the same time, the nano-silver powder is sintered into the inside of the annular groove 10, further increasing the mass of the sintered silver powder, thereby achieving better heat transfer effect.

[0038] The foregoing description is intended only to provide specific embodiments of the present invention, which will enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is intended to be construed in the widest manner consistent with the principles and novel features claimed herein.
