Abstract

This application belongs to the field of superconducting magnet technology, specifically disclosing a superconducting coil with a superelliptic curve structure, a superconducting magnet system, and its design method. By using a superelliptic curve instead of the traditional straight-side segment, the entire coil has a finite curvature. This allows for effective tension application to the conductor and reinforcing materials during winding and reinforcement. Under the combined effect of winding tension and reinforcing materials, the coil's mechanical structure is more stable, and its resistance to deformation under strong magnetic field conditions is significantly enhanced. Optimizing the coil structure with a superelliptic curve improves the coil's mechanical stability, reduces stress concentration, and lowers manufacturing costs while maintaining the aperture size and magnetic field strength. This results in a superconducting magnet system that, while increasing magnetic field strength, possesses superior mechanical stability and lower manufacturing costs, making it widely applicable in vertical ring magnetic separators, wind turbines, and other fields, and providing new technical support for other applications requiring large-aperture, strong magnetic fields.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of superconducting magnet technology, and more specifically, relates to superconducting coils with superelliptic curve structures, superconducting magnet systems, and their design methods. Background Technology

[0002] Superconducting magnets are widely used in industrial fields due to their ability to generate strong magnetic fields and low energy consumption. In magnetic separation equipment, superconducting magnets are used for the efficient separation of minerals and other materials, and their magnetic field strength and stability directly affect the magnetic separation effect. In wind turbines, the application of superconducting magnets can improve energy conversion efficiency and reduce system weight. Applications such as vertical ring magnetic separators and wind turbines have relatively lower requirements for magnetic field uniformity; it is only necessary to ensure that the magnetic field strength exceeds a certain threshold.

[0003] In industrial applications such as vertical ring magnetic separators and wind turbines, the most common superconducting magnet coil structure is the racetrack-shaped coil. This structure consists of two straight sections and two curved ends, providing a large central aperture to meet the structural requirements of magnetic separators or generators.

[0004] However, the traditional racetrack-shaped superconducting coil structure has certain limitations in practical applications: (1) In the traditional racetrack-shaped coil, since the straight side cannot be tensioned during the winding process, the wires are difficult to be arranged compactly along the predetermined straight path, and large gaps will be left between the wires; (2) The commonly used circumferential reinforcement method is also difficult to apply tension to the straight side, which leads to the problem of the straight side being difficult to reinforce in terms of mechanical structure. Under strong magnetic field environment, it is easy to be affected by electromagnetic force and undergo mechanical deformation, which in turn leads to stress concentration, local reduction of superconducting characteristics, or even structural damage; (3) In the traditional racetrack-shaped coil, since the straight side is difficult to apply winding tension and reinforcement stress, large gaps will be left between the wires. This will lead to the stress of the straight side being transferred to the end under the action of electromagnetic force, and stress concentration areas often form at the connection between the straight side and the bend. Stress concentration not only increases the risk of material fatigue, but also directly affects the stability of the superconducting critical current. Both of these increase the risk of local quench failure of the coil. (4) Stress concentration will reduce the critical current of the superconducting material, resulting in the actual current that can be carried being far lower than the performance limit of the material itself. To compensate for this loss, traditional solutions often require increasing the amount of superconducting materials used, resulting in waste of raw materials and increased costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a superconducting coil with a superelliptic curve structure, a superconducting magnet system and its design method, which aims to solve the problem that the straight side section of the existing racetrack-shaped superconducting coil is difficult to strengthen in terms of mechanical structure, and is easily affected by electromagnetic force in a strong magnetic field environment, which leads to deformation, stress concentration, local reduction of superconducting properties or even structural damage.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a superconducting coil with a superelliptic curve structure.

[0012] In a second aspect, this application provides a superconducting magnet system, including a superconducting coil as described in the first aspect.

[0013] Preferably, the system also includes current leads, a cold shield, a vacuum container, a cryogenic refrigeration component, a support structure, a quench protection component, a power supply component, and a monitoring and control component. The power supply component is connected to the superconducting magnet coil via the current leads. The coil is mounted on the support structure and placed entirely within the vacuum container. The cold shield is installed inside the vacuum container, enclosing the superconducting magnet and part of the current leads. The cryogenic refrigeration component is connected to both the cold shield and the coil. The quench protection component and the monitoring and control component are distributed at key nodes in the system, collecting data and forming a closed-loop feedback to ensure timely response in abnormal situations.

[0014] Preferably, the superconducting magnet system is applied to a vertical ring magnetic separator or a wind turbine.

[0015] Thirdly, this application provides a design method for a superconducting coil with a superelliptic curve structure as described in the first aspect, comprising:

[0016] The cross-sectional curve of the superconducting coil is parameterized;

[0017] For the case of a single closed hyperelliptic curve structure, multiple parameters of the hyperelliptic curve are used as optimization quantities, with the goal of maximizing the central magnetic field generation efficiency, and aperture and curvature constraints are set. For the case of a structure with multiple hyperelliptic curve segments continuously spliced ​​together, multiple parameters of each hyperelliptic curve segment and the connection point angle parameters of adjacent hyperelliptic curve segments in parameter space are used as optimization quantities, with the goal of maximizing the central magnetic field generation efficiency, and aperture, curvature, axis perpendicularity, and connection smoothness constraints are set. Among them, the aperture constraint ensures that the aperture size meets the user's requirements, the curvature constraint ensures the conductor performance and winding tension, the axis perpendicularity constraint ensures the coil symmetry, and the connection smoothness constraint ensures that the coordinates and slopes of adjacent hyperelliptic segments are completely consistent at the connection point.

[0018] Solving for the parameters of the hyperelliptic curve that satisfy the objective and all constraints yields the solution.

[0019] Preferably, the objective function is as follows:

[0021] in, The objective function value, The discrete integral of the central magnetic field is obtained by numerically integrating the axial magnetic field at the origin for all discrete line elements using the Biot–Savart method. Let be the total length of the coil wire, and be the penalty function for soft penalties applied to violations of constraints. These serve as weighting factors to ensure strict control over constraints during the optimization process. This represents the absolute value operator.

[0022] Preferably, the solution is obtained using the continuous least squares algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm, or genetic algorithm.

[0026] (3) This application proposes a superconducting coil with a superelliptic curve structure. Through structural design, the stress distribution is optimized, effectively increasing the critical current of the superconducting coil and thus significantly reducing the amount of material required per unit magnetic field. Furthermore, the use of a superelliptic curve simplifies the winding process, avoiding multiple tightening and adjustments at bends, and significantly reducing the error rate and rework rate of the coil during manufacturing. In mass industrial manufacturing, this plays a decisive role in controlling production costs and improving product consistency.

[0027] (4) This application proposes a superconducting magnet system. By optimizing the coil structure through superelliptic curves, it can improve the mechanical stability of the coil, reduce stress concentration, and lower manufacturing costs while ensuring the aperture size and magnetic field strength. This makes the superconducting magnet system have better mechanical stability and lower manufacturing costs while increasing the magnetic field strength. It can be widely used in vertical ring magnetic separators, wind turbines, and other fields, and provides new technical support for other application scenarios that require large aperture and strong magnetic field.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0033] In this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. In this application, the symbol " / " indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship, for example, A / B means A or B.

[0034] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order of objects. For example, "first response message" and "second response message," etc., are used to distinguish different response messages, not to describe a specific order of response messages.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0037] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Firstly, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a superconducting coil with a superelliptic curve structure. The superconducting coil is formed by winding superconducting wire into a single closed superelliptic curve structure or a splicing structure of multiple superelliptic curve segments. Adjacent superelliptic curve segments have the same curvature value at the connection point, making the entire superconducting coil smooth and continuous.

[0039] Theoretically, the more segments there are, the better the results will be; however, a larger number of segments will also make the design process more complex. Preferably, the number of hyperelliptic curve segments is [2, 10].

[0040] The entire coil has finite curvature. The minimum curvature depends on the minimum bending radius of the conductor material; for example, this value is typically 10-15 mm for YBCO tape. The maximum curvature depends on the maximum curvature at which winding tension can be effectively applied during winding; this value is usually no more than 3 m based on engineering experience.

[0041] Preferably, the expression for the hyperelliptic curve is as follows:

The coil winding frame is machined into a superelliptic curve shape, so the innermost layer of conductors will be wound strictly according to the superelliptic curve. The winding frame is typically made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel. Preferably, the layers of the superconducting coil are uniformly distributed, and the coil conductors are equidistantly extended along the normal direction.

The power supply component is connected to the superconducting magnet coil via the current leads. The coil is mounted on the support structure and placed entirely within the vacuum container. The cold shield is installed inside the vacuum container, enclosing the superconducting magnet and part of the current leads. The cryogenic refrigeration component is connected to both the cold shield and the coil. The quench protection component and the monitoring and control component are distributed at key nodes in the system, collecting data and forming a closed-loop feedback to ensure timely response in abnormal situations.

[0048] Current leads are used to transfer current from an external power source to the superconducting coil in a cryogenic environment. A cold shield is positioned between room temperature and cryogenic temperature to reduce thermal radiation load. A vacuum container provides a high-vacuum environment to suppress gas heat transfer. Cryogenic cooling components maintain the superconducting state of the magnet using liquid helium Dewars or cryogenic systems. A support structure ensures the mechanical stability of the superconducting coil in the cryogenic environment, a quench protection component prevents quenching accidents, and a power supply component provides a stable DC current. Monitoring and control components use various sensors to acquire and control parameters such as temperature, pressure, voltage, and current in real time, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system.
