Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of superconducting magnets, in particular to a small through-current high-temperature superconducting current lead insulation section structure. Background Art
[0002] Superconducting magnets are an important component of high-temperature superconducting tokamaks. Superconducting magnets need to operate at low temperatures and have two current leads, positive and negative, for connecting to the power supply. The current leads need to be cooled to ensure that the magnets operate at operating temperature. The current leads have a temperature gradient from low temperature to room temperature, so a structure is needed to ensure the continuity of the current flow and to ensure the temperature isolation of the high and low temperature zones, minimizing heat leakage between different temperature zones. However, there is no similar thermal insulation structure in the existing technology. Therefore, it is urgent to design a high-temperature superconducting current lead insulation section structure with a small current flow to ensure the continuity of the current flow and to ensure the temperature isolation of the high and low temperature zones.

[0011] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In the present invention, a stainless steel center section and two copper end heads are designed, the end heads are expanded, and at the same time, they are stacked and laid in a filling groove and brazed and fixed. The top is stacked with stainless steel strips to compact the superconductor to cope with delamination and virtual connection caused by stress, thereby ensuring continuous flow and temperature isolation of high and low temperature zones, reducing heat leakage in different temperature zones, and having strong practicality.

[0024] The following examples further illustrate a specific embodiment of a small-current high-temperature superconducting current lead insulation section structure of the present invention. The small-current high-temperature superconducting current lead insulation section structure of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following examples.
[0025] Example 1: A small through-current high-temperature superconducting current lead insulation section structure, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an insulation section body 1, and two filling grooves 11 are symmetrically opened on the front of the insulation section body 1. A plurality of superconducting tapes 12 are stacked at the bottom of the filling grooves 11. Both sides of the superconducting tapes 12 are fixed to the filling grooves 11 by brazing structures 13. A plurality of stainless steel tapes 14 are laid on the top of the superconducting tapes 12.
[0026] In a possible embodiment, the insulation section body 1 includes a central section 2 and end heads 3 at both ends. The central section 2 is made of stainless steel, and the end heads 3 are made of copper.
[0027] In a possible embodiment, the end head 3 and the central section 2 are connected by a mortise and tenon structure and fixed by brazing.
[0028] In a possible embodiment, the width of the end of the end head 3 away from the central section 2 is greater than the width of the inner end thereof, and the end head 3 is pre-bent at an angle along the length direction according to space requirements.
[0029] In a possible implementation, the two ends 3 adopt a centrally symmetrical structure.
[0030] In a possible embodiment, the outer side of the thermal insulation section body 1 is covered with an insulation layer 15 .
[0031] In a possible implementation manner, the insulating layer 15 is an epoxy glass cloth and a KAPTON winding layer.
[0032] In one possible embodiment, the main body 1 of the heat-insulating section adopts a rectangular cross-section structure with a groove, with a width of 30 mm and a thickness of 8 mm, and a groove width of 12.5 mm. It is 3 mm deep. The entire structure is made of high-purity copper at both ends and stainless steel in the middle. The stainless steel section is used for heat insulation and has a length of ≥200 mm. The copper end and the stainless steel are mortised and brazed. The copper end can be bent axially according to space requirements. The width of the copper end is appropriately expanded to 50 mm, and the expanded length is ≥50 mm. The expanded area is used for indium pressing and fixing with the low-temperature section and the high-temperature section, increasing the contact surface to reduce resistance, and ensuring that the joint resistance is less than 100 nΩ.
[0033] Next, high-temperature superconducting tapes are laid in the slots, and the superconductors are fixed by stacking and brazing the double slots. The superconductors run through the entire structural component.
[0034] Finally, the slot is filled with stainless steel tape to compact the superconductor to prevent delamination and joints caused by stress. All parts except the expanded area are wrapped with epoxy glass cloth + KAPTON winding layer as insulation layer, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0035] The above is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the present invention should not be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
