Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fusion reactor installation. Specifically, the present invention mainly relates to a device and method for lifting and positioning a poloidal field magnet at the bottom of a fusion reactor. Background Art

[0002] Solving the energy problem is one of the most pressing issues facing all countries today. Nuclear fusion energy is a new type of clean energy, and controlled nuclear fusion is a key area of ​​research and exploration being actively pursued worldwide. Controlled nuclear fusion utilizes a fusion device called a tokamak to magnetically confine high-temperature plasma, causing it to fuse within a vacuum chamber, releasing enormous amounts of energy that is then converted for human use. A fusion device consists of thousands of components, and the poloidal field magnet is a core component of the device's mainframe system and a crucial element in the device's construction. Its assembly process is complex, especially the bottom poloidal field magnet, which needs to be temporarily hoisted into the mainframe foundation pit. Once the longitudinal field magnet is in place, the temporarily positioned poloidal field magnet is then lifted to the longitudinal field magnet mounting surface and finally installed.

[0003] At present, the final placement of the poloidal field magnets at the bottom of domestic fusion reactors is achieved by using a jacking structure. The poloidal field magnets are temporarily hoisted on a hydraulic jacking fixture. The jacking fixtures are divided into A / B groups and evenly alternately arranged. After the A group is lifted up, a pad of fixed thickness is placed on the B group fixture. The two groups of fixtures repeat the work alternately to lift the bottom poloidal field magnet to a predetermined height and finally put it in place. This jacking method is complicated to operate and slow. It requires operators to work at height and continuously insert pads between the jacking fixture and the poloidal field magnet. In addition, this jacking fixture has a complex structure and is expensive. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the principles of the present invention will be explained in depth herein with reference to the accompanying drawings and at least one detailed embodiment. Those skilled in the art should be aware that the specific embodiments described below are merely intended to illustrate the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention to only such embodiments.

[0023] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, a device for lifting the poloidal field magnet at the bottom of a fusion reactor is described in detail. Figure 1 As shown, this lifting and positioning equipment mainly includes several hydraulic hoists that are started alternately. Specifically, Figure 2-Figure 4These hydraulic lifts all include a hydraulic cylinder assembly 12, a piston assembly 14, a clamping assembly, and a support plate 15. The cylinder body 4 of the hydraulic cylinder assembly 12 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 15, achieving a fixed installation of the hydraulic lift. The piston assembly 14 is axially slidably mounted within the cylinder body 4. Specifically, cylindrical guide portions 6 may be integrally formed at each end of the piston assembly 14, with the upper and lower regions of the piston assembly 14 forming two independent oil storage areas. The clamping assembly is mounted within the piston assembly 14. For example, the clamping assembly includes a plurality of clamping rods 13, a return spring 9, and a sealing ring arranged in an annular array within the piston assembly 14. Each clamping rod 13 is provided with a sealing ring and a return spring 9, so that the clamping rod 13 is tilted and the bottom end of the clamping rod 13 approaches the axial hole of the piston assembly 14, forming a clamping tendency. A sealing ring is mounted at the top of the clamping rod 13, and a return spring 9 is mounted below the sealing ring on the clamping rod 13 to achieve axial elastic telescopic movement of the clamping rod 13 within the piston assembly 14. In addition, in particular, the axial hole of the piston assembly 14 is used for the free passage of the steel strand 11, that is, the steel strand can move freely in the axial hole, and one end of the steel strand 11 is connected to the support plate 15, while the other end passes around the reversing wheel and freely passes through the support plate 15 and the axial hole of the piston assembly 14 downward in turn, and the reversing wheel can be adaptively installed somewhere above the installation position of the poloidal field magnet 19 to form a fulcrum for the steel strand.

[0024] In addition, in this embodiment, Figure 2-Figure 3 , it is also necessary to provide a first oil hole 5 on the top side of the cylinder body 4 and a second oil hole 21 on the bottom side. In use, when oil is supplied to the first oil hole 5, the second oil hole 21 is in a closed state. At this time, the oil inside the cylinder body 4 in the lower area of ​​the piston assembly 14 is sealed, and the oil supply from the first oil hole 5 will push the clamping rods 13 to move axially, but the piston assembly 14 will not move axially downward, so that the clamping rods 13 can slide axially to squeeze the steel strand 11, thereby grasping or clamping the steel strand 11, and after clamping the steel strand 11, oil flows out of the second oil hole 21, causing the piston assembly 14 to move downward with the steel strand 11, that is, pulling the steel strand 11 downward, so that the other section of the steel strand 11 connected to the support plate 15 can move upward, and then the support plate 15 and the poloidal field magnet 19 located on the support plate 15 can be lifted, and the poloidal field magnet 19 can be lifted step by step into place, which is very clever.

[0025] In practice, such as Figure 3The hydraulic cylinder assembly 12 of this embodiment further includes a fixing frame 1, a flange sealing plate 2, and a flange gasket 3. The fixing frame 1 is removably fixed to the bottom of the support plate 15 by bolts. The fixing frame 1 can be a single plate member to facilitate its close fit with the support plate 15. The flange plates sealably cover both ends of the cylinder body 4. The flange gasket 3 is located between the flange sealing plate 2 and the end surface of the cylinder body 4, providing a sealed installation for the cylinder body 4.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping rod 13 includes a sliding table 8 at the top and a clamping rod 10 coaxially fixed to the bottom end of the sliding table 8. A sealing ring is fixedly mounted on the circumferential surface of the sliding table 8. A return spring 9 is mounted on the clamping rod 10. The top end of the return spring 9 is connected to the bottom end surface of the sliding table 8, and the bottom end is connected to the stepped surface of the stepped hole on the piston assembly 14 for the axial sliding installation of the clamping rod 13. Therefore, elastic telescopic movement is achieved under hydraulic drive. That is, when the hydraulic pressure decreases or disappears, the clamping rod 13 can retract and release the steel strand 11. In order to effectively clamp the steel strand 11, the present clamping rod 13 is provided with at least three. In addition, in this embodiment, a strip groove is provided on the side surface of the bottom end of the clamping rod 10, that is, the side facing the steel strand 11, for placing the surface of the steel strand 11. The cross-section of this strip groove is an arc shape adapted to the steel strand 11, and the bottom of the strip groove is provided with a number of ridges along its length direction. The ridges are used for frictional contact with the steel strand 11 to enhance the gripping force.

[0027] In this embodiment, to provide greater stability for each support plate 15, hydraulic lifters are arranged in pairs. Even if one hydraulic lifter in each group fails, the other can still take over the lifting function. Specifically, two hydraulic lifters are installed on each support plate 15, and the two hydraulic lifters are activated alternately to achieve intermittent lifting of the support plate 15 and the poloidal field magnet 19.

[0028] In order to more securely lift the poloidal field magnet 19, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom end of at least one screw rod 18 is fixed to the support plate 15 by a plurality of nuts, and a pressing plate 20 is sleeved on the top end of the screw rod 18. Figure 1 For ease of illustration, the pressure plate 20 is partially disconnected from the screw rod 18, and the corresponding nut is not tightened in place. The pressure plate 20 allows the steel strand 11 to pass freely through it, namely, corresponding circular holes are provided in the pressure plate 20 for the free passage of the steel strand 11. When installed, the support plate 15 and the pressure plate 20 clamp the poloidal field magnet 19. During operation, tightening the corresponding nut on the screw rod 18 secures the pressure plate 20, the poloidal field magnet 19, and the support plate 15 together.

[0029] As an example of specific implementation details, in this embodiment, Figure 7The first oil hole 5 and the second oil hole 21 are connected to two oil holes 23 of an oil tank 22 through oil pipelines. The oil tank 22 has a cylindrical cavity inside that is connected to the oil holes 23. The rear end of the oil tank 22 is connected to an oil pipe coaxial with the cylindrical cavity. A core column 29 is coaxially and rotatably installed in the cylindrical cavity. An oil supply hole 24 is provided on the core column 29. These oil supply holes 24 are intended to be aligned and connected with the corresponding oil holes 23 during use, thereby conducting the corresponding oil circuit. Figure 7 、 Figure 10 As shown, the end of the core column 29 is fixed with a rotating shaft 30, which is exposed at the front end of the oil tank 22. One end of a swing arm 25 is fixed to it, and the swing arm 25 is hinged to the end surface of the oil tank 22 via a torsion spring 31. The torsion spring 31 can be installed adaptively. The purpose is to provide resistance when the swing arm is rotated by an external force after the torsion spring 31 is connected. When the external force disappears, the swing arm and the core column can be quickly reset. In addition, a permanent magnet 26 must be installed at the other end of the swing arm 25. Accordingly, based on the above structural design, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 , it is necessary to provide a first electromagnet 28 and a second electromagnet 27 at the front end of the oil tank 22. The torsion spring 31 ensures that the permanent magnet 26 on the swing arm 25 is normally located between the two electromagnets. When the two electromagnets are energized separately, they attract the permanent magnet 26 and make the core column 29 rotate or swing synchronously with the swing arm 25. When one of the electromagnets is energized, the permanent magnet 26 contacts and is fixed to the corresponding electromagnet. At this time, the first oil hole 5 or the second oil hole 21 is aligned and connected with the oil supply hole 24, and the corresponding oil circuit is opened.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 8When the permanent magnet 26 and the second electromagnet 27 are in contact with each other, the first oil hole 5 communicates with the oil supply hole 24. A three-way connector 36 is mounted on the second oil hole 21. One end of the three-way connector 36 is connected to the oil supply hole 24, and the other end is connected to the oil return line 37 via a solenoid valve 38. The swing arm 25 is connected to a secondary arm 32 via an arc-shaped compression spring 33. The end of the secondary arm 32, away from the arc-shaped compression spring 33, is sleeved outside the core column 29 and is rotatably connected to the swing arm 25. A third electromagnet 35 is also mounted at the front end of the oil reservoir 22. A permanent magnet 34 is fixed to one end of the secondary arm 32. A valve switch (not shown) that controls the solenoid valve 38 is mounted on the permanent magnet 34. When this valve switch is pressed, the other end of the three-way connector 36 outputs hydraulic oil to the oil return line 37, discharging the hydraulic oil from the cylinder 4 below the piston assembly 14, allowing the piston assembly 14 to move downward with the strand. The auxiliary arm 32 of this embodiment can rotate together with the swing arm 25 under the action of the arc-shaped compression spring 33, that is, the arc-shaped compression spring 33 connects the swing arm 25 and the auxiliary arm 32 into one body. When the permanent magnet 26 and the second electromagnet 27 are already adsorbed and connected, when the second electromagnet 27 is powered off, there is no magnetic attraction between the permanent magnet 26 and the second electromagnet 27. However, when the third electromagnet 35 is energized, it can attract the permanent magnet 34, that is, the auxiliary arm 32 moves closer to the third electromagnet 35 until the third electromagnet 35 is attracted and connected to the permanent magnet 34. At this time, the thrust of the arc-shaped compression spring 33 on the swing arm 25 causes the permanent magnet 26 to continue to maintain contact with the second electromagnet 27 after power is cut off, and maintain the state of supplying oil to the first oil hole 5. Therefore, although the second electromagnet 27 has been powered off and cannot attract the fixed permanent magnet 26, due to the action of the arc-shaped compression spring 33, the two still maintain a stable contact relationship, that is, maintain the state of supplying oil to the first oil hole 5, so that when the second oil hole 21 discharges oil outward, the piston assembly 14 moves further downward with the steel strand.

[0031] The above design structure is mainly used to switch the driving oil circuit of the hydraulic hoist to better realize the hydraulically driven lifting method of the present invention. By following the actions of the above series of structural elements, the hydraulic hoist automatically grabs the steel strand 11 and climbs upward with the poloidal field magnet. After climbing to a certain height, it automatically releases and loosens the steel strand 11 so that the next group of hydraulic hoists can perform the same actions mentioned above. The two groups of hydraulic hoists work alternately to lift the poloidal field magnet to the final position.

[0032] Based on the above embodiment, as another embodiment, a method for lifting the poloidal field magnet at the bottom of a fusion reactor is introduced. This method uses the device for lifting the poloidal field magnet 19 at the bottom of a fusion reactor in the above embodiment to lift the poloidal field magnet 19. The specific operation steps include: Figure 6The hydraulic lifters are divided into at least a first group and a second group. Multiple sets of these first and second groups of hydraulic lifters 17 can be installed around the poloidal field magnet 19 as needed. The steel rope 11 is then secured. One end of the steel rope 11 is fixed to the support plate 15, and the other end passes through a reversing wheel above and downward through the support plate 15 and the axial hole of the piston assembly 14. During operation, the first group of hydraulic hoists 16 are controlled to work, the poloidal field magnet 19 is lifted to a stroke height, and the oil supply state is temporarily maintained to ensure that the steel strand 11 is clamped. Then the second group of hydraulic hoists 17 are controlled to work, and the poloidal field magnet 19 is continued to be lifted, and the oil supply state is temporarily maintained. During this period, the steel strand 11 on the first group of hydraulic hoists 16 will be released from the original taut tension state, and even bend freely, so that the first group of hydraulic hoists 16 are controlled to reset, that is, the clamping rod 13 in the first group of hydraulic hoists 16 is allowed to release the steel strand 11, so that the steel strand 11 will droop naturally. Then, when the clamping rod 13 in the first group of hydraulic hoists 16 clamps the corresponding steel strand 11 in the naturally drooping state again, the above steps are repeated, and the support plate 15 and the poloidal field magnet 19 are moved up to a height again. In this way, the two groups of hoists work alternately to lift the poloidal field magnet 19 into place. When the poloidal field magnet 19 is lifted to a predetermined height, it can contact the toroidal field magnet that has been in place, keeping the two sets of hydraulic hoists in the working state of clamping the steel strand 11 to maintain the stability of the position of the poloidal field magnet 19 at this time. Subsequently, some fixing bolts related to the poloidal field magnet 19 are installed to ensure that the poloidal field magnet 19 can still be in a stable state after the hydraulic hoist is removed, that is, it is securely connected to the toroidal field magnet that has been installed in place. Finally, the hydraulic hoist is removed, the remaining bolts are installed, and the poloidal field magnet 19 is completely installed and fixed.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them.
