TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrostatic deflection plate adjustment, and particularly relates to an adjusting device for an electrostatic deflection plate of a superconducting cyclotron. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key high-energy beam output device in the current proton therapy system, the superconducting cyclotron has the advantages of high magnetic field strength, strong running stability, compact structure, etc., and is widely used in high-end fields such as proton radiotherapy and nuclear physics research. In the beam extraction process, the electrostatic deflection plate, as a key component, is used to guide the high-energy proton beam from the main magnetic field region to the beam channel, realizing efficient transfer and accurate positioning of the beam. However, due to the influence of many complex factors such as non-uniformity of magnetic field distribution, space charge disturbance, and beam dynamics, the theoretical extraction trajectory often deviates from the actual trajectory, so it is necessary to have an adjustable deflection plate structure to ensure accurate beam extraction.
[0003] In the prior art, the electrostatic deflection plate often uses an internal fine adjustment structure, or can only be indirectly adjusted through internal devices of the accelerator. In the superconducting cyclotron, the device is operated in a harsh environment of high vacuum, high voltage, and strong magnetic field for a long time. Once the deflection plate position needs to be adjusted, the device usually needs to be stopped, the vacuum needs to be broken, the cavity needs to be opened, and the deflection plate position needs to be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the cavity needs to be recombined and the vacuum needs to be extracted to the set value. The whole process is complex, time-consuming, and low in efficiency, which seriously affects the beam debugging process and the availability of the device. At the same time, the current deflection plate adjustment structure is designed for a medium-low voltage environment, and it is difficult to meet the strict requirements of insulation performance and operation safety when the deflection plate bears tens of kilovolts of high voltage, and there is a potential risk of discharge and breakdown.

[0092] The lubrication guide includes:
[0093] The discharge cylinder 33 is rotationally connected above the rotary support seat 11, the inner bottom wall center of which is upwardly raised to form a conical structure;
[0094] The discharge hole 34 is arranged through the lower end of the discharge cylinder 33 to discharge lubricant into the rotary support seat 11 in cooperation with the discharge cylinder 33.
[0095] The rubber tube 32 is arranged through the upper end of the discharge cylinder 33 at one end and through the upper end of the hollow cylinder 29 and the corrugated cylinder 30 at the other end, and the two ends are made of hard plastic material, and the middle part is made of rubber.
[0096] Specifically, the outer side of the discharge cylinder 33 is fixed with the fixed rod 35, and the lower end of the fixed rod 35 is fixedly connected with the rotary support seat 11, so that the rotary support seat 11 can provide support for the fixed rod 35, and the fixed rod 35 can provide support for the discharge cylinder 33, the discharge cylinder 33 can provide a space for the discharge hole 34, and the discharge hole 34 can provide a channel for the lubricant to be discharged to the outside of the rotating shaft, the rubber tube 32 has an inclination angle, which can provide a flow channel for the lubricant to enter the discharge cylinder 33, the conical structure of the inner bottom wall of the discharge cylinder 33 can prevent the lubricant from remaining in the discharge cylinder 33, so that the lubricant can fully enter the discharge hole 34, and the rubber tube 32 has elasticity and can be stretched or twisted and deformed under the action of external force, and will rebound to the original position when the external force disappears.
[0097] In practical application, the operator can connect the lubricant delivery pipeline to the one-way valve 31, allowing the lubricant to pass through the one-way valve 31 under external pressure and be injected into the bellows 30 for storage. When the superconducting cyclotron accelerator stops, the operator can control the two servo motors 1 to drive the electric cylinder 4 to retract, adjusting the electrostatic deflection plate 14 to reset as needed. Figure 1 In the state shown, the electric rod 37 is then extended, causing its telescopic end to pass through the sliding channel 41, extend upwards, and insert into the inner side of the connecting ring 40, thus connecting the electric rod 37 with the connecting ring 40. Then, the servo motor 1 is simultaneously controlled to extend the electric cylinder 4, which in turn pushes the connecting shaft 5 to move away from the servo motor 1 along the inner side of the hollow cylinder 29. Simultaneously, the connecting shaft 5 drives the copper tube 22 and the connector 24 to move together, allowing the connector 24 to move the connecting ring 40 away from the servo motor 1 via the support ring 38 and the connecting plate 39. This allows the connecting ring 40 to move with the inserted... The electric rod 37 moves together with the electric rod 37, so that the electric rod 37 can push the push ring 36 along the sliding track 41 towards the support flange 6, so that the push ring 36 can move along the inside of the hollow cylinder 29 and squeeze the bellows 30. Under the action of external force, the bellows 30 can be squeezed, folded and contracted along the inside of the hollow cylinder 29. During the process of the bellows 30 being squeezed, folded and contracted, the pressure is used to squeeze the lubricant stored inside into the rubber band tube 32 (the rubber band tube 32 will be stretched and deformed when the electric cylinder 4 extends). The lubricant can flow out along the rubber band tube 32 into the discharge cylinder 33, and under the action of gravity, it passes through the discharge hole 34 and is discharged from the lubrication shaft.
[0098] The amount of lubricant discharged depends on the extension of the electric cylinder 4, and the operator needs to control the extension of the electric cylinder 4 by observing the lubricant discharged between the discharge cylinder 33 and the bearing.
[0099] Working Principle: During use, the insulation and vacuum integrity of the entire adjustment device are first checked. Upon startup, the servo motor 1 provides power, which is reduced in speed by the reducer 2 to drive the electric cylinder 4 to produce a linear extension / retraction motion, forming a high-precision position adjustment input source. The extension / retraction end of the electric cylinder 4 transmits power to the adjusting rod 9 via the connecting shaft 5, achieving stable mechanical transmission.
[0100] The front end of the adjusting rod 9 is connected to the second insulating shaft 13 via the PEek connector 10, forming a primary electrical isolation node.
[0101] The second insulating shaft 13 is then fixedly connected to the electrostatic deflection plate 14 via the rotating support 11, thereby enabling precise control of the angle and position of the deflection plate.
[0102] To ensure the compatibility of the transmission chain and the vacuum system, the rear end of the adjusting rod 9 is connected with the vacuum bellows 8 by welding, the other end of the vacuum bellows 8 is welded with the vacuum flange 7, and the vacuum flange 7 is installed on the support flange 6 through screws, and the whole is fixed on the vacuum cavity interface of the superconducting cyclotron, so as to realize the high-reliability vacuum sealing and mechanical transmission coupling.
[0103] The electric cylinder 4 is also connected with the output end of the speed reducer 2 through the first insulation shaft 3 and the shaft coupling, and a two-stage electrical isolation path is constructed, so that the safety in the high-voltage environment is significantly enhanced.
[0104] The electric cylinder 4, the speed reducer 2 and the servo motor 1 are modularly installed on the high-voltage platform, so that the G10 plate 12 is isolated and supported from the ground, not only realizing the electrical isolation of the high-voltage vacuum cavity, but also facilitating the system maintenance and quick disassembly.
[0105] The components are cooperatively operated, and a position fine adjustment system for the high-voltage electrostatic deflection plate 14 is constructed, which can be safely, continuously and controllably adjusted under the conditions of no shutdown and no vacuum interruption through the external driving system with complete electrical isolation, and has the vacuum sealing, insulation integrity and adjustment precision, and meets the harsh operation requirements of the high-voltage beam extraction system of the superconducting cyclotron.
[0106] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
