[0002] A superconducting magnet is a device that uses the characteristic of superconducting material having zero resistance at low temperature to generate a strong magnetic field. The superconducting magnet has the advantages of low energy consumption, high magnetic field strength and good uniformity, and is widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), high-energy physics experiments, magnetic levitation trains, nuclear fusion research, single crystal growth and other fields. A superconducting magnet framework is an important support structure of a superconducting magnet, which can provide mechanical support for superconducting coils and other components, ensure the structural stability of the superconducting magnet, and avoid deformation and displacement of the superconducting coils under stress, so as to ensure that the superconducting magnet can operate stably and reliably.

However, such an integral framework is difficult to produce in the manufacturing process, and it is difficult to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy of each part of the framework. Moreover, the heat dissipation performance of the superconducting magnet is poor, which can easily lead to an increase in temperature of the superconducting magnet during long-term operation, affecting the stability and service life of the superconducting magnet. In addition, since the cooling component is arranged close to the superconducting coils, the superconducting magnet can be slightly deformed during transportation or under stress, affecting the magnetic field uniformity and stability of the superconducting magnet.

The embodiments described herein are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0050] It is to be understood that the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It is to be understood that the terms "approximately" and "substantially" are used herein to represent the insubstantial difference in the precision of a numerical value, and the insubstantial difference in the shape, position, and / or the like of a geometric figure.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0052] Reference will now be made to Figures 1 to 4The embodiment provides a superconducting magnet framework, which comprises a support frame 11, an upper winding frame 12, a lower winding frame 13 and a first pull rod 14; the projection profile of the support frame 11 along a first direction A is circular ring-shaped, and the support frame 11 has an upper mounting part 111 and a lower mounting part 112 oppositely arranged along the first direction A. It is to be explained that the upper mounting part 111 and the lower mounting part 112 can be mounting surfaces arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the support frame 11, and the mounting surfaces can be circular ring-shaped planes, so as to be used for mounting the upper winding frame 12 and the lower winding frame 13 respectively. The upper winding frame 12 and the lower winding frame 13 are detachably connected to the upper mounting part 111 and the lower mounting part 112 respectively. Specifically, screw holes can be formed in the bottom of the upper winding frame 12, the top of the lower winding frame 13, the upper mounting part 111 and the lower mounting part 112, and detachable connection is realized through bolts. Figure 1 For the convenience of description, the height direction of the support frame 11 is defined as the first direction A. For the upper mounting part 111 and the lower mounting part 112, the mounting surfaces can be circular ring-shaped planes, so as to be used for mounting the upper winding frame 12 and the lower winding frame 13 respectively. The upper winding frame 12 and the lower winding frame 13 are detachably connected to the upper mounting part 111 and the lower mounting part 112 respectively. Specifically, screw holes can be formed in the bottom of the upper winding frame 12, the top of the lower winding frame 13, the upper mounting part 111 and the lower mounting part 112, and detachable connection is realized through bolts.

[0053] Further, the upper winding frame 12 is provided with a first upper side blocking part 121 and a first lower side blocking part 122 extending along the radial direction of the support frame 11, and the lower winding frame 13 is provided with a second upper side blocking part 131 and a second lower side blocking part 132 extending along the radial direction of the support frame 11. The first upper side blocking part 121 and the first lower side blocking part 122, and the second upper side blocking part 131 and the second lower side blocking part 132 form an upper winding cavity 123 and a lower winding cavity 133 respectively. The first upper side blocking part 121 and the second lower side blocking part 132 protrude radially from the first lower side blocking part 122 and the second upper side blocking part 131. The first pull rod 14 is connected to the first upper side blocking part 121 and the second lower side blocking part 132 at both ends along the first direction A.

[0054] It is to be explained that, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 The projection profile of the first upper side blocking part 121, the first lower side blocking part 122, the second upper side blocking part 131 and the second lower side blocking part 132 along the first direction A is circular ring-shaped. The circular ring profile of the first lower side blocking part 122 can be arranged to be the same as the profile of the upper mounting part 111, and the circular ring profile of the second upper side blocking part 131 can be arranged to be the same as the profile of the lower mounting part 112. In order to facilitate installation, the first lower side blocking part 122 and the second upper side blocking part 131 are provided with bolt holes, and the bolt holes are reserved at a certain distance from the side walls of the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133. In this way, after the winding of the coil is completed, the installation of the upper winding frame 12, the lower winding frame 13 and the support frame 11 is facilitated.

[0055] Similarly, the first upper side stop 121 and the second lower side stop 132 protrude radially from the first lower side stop 122 and the second upper side stop 131. It can be understood that the diameters of the circles on which the side end faces of the first upper side stop 121 and the second lower side stop 132 are located are greater than the diameters of the circles on which the side end faces of the first lower side stop 122 and the second upper side stop 131 are located. In this way, a cavity is formed between the first upper side stop 121 and the second lower side stop 132 in the vertical direction, and the first pull rod 14 can be conveniently installed and fixed.

[0056] It should also be noted that the axis of the bolt connecting the upper winding framework 12 and the upper mounting portion 111 and the lower winding framework 13 and the lower mounting portion 112 is arranged to be offset from the axis of the first pull rod 14, the ratio of the number of pull rods to the number of bolts can be 1:3, the outer diameter of the pull rod is greater than the outer diameter of the bolt; the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133 are circular cavities; and the superconducting magnet framework 10 of the embodiment can be made of stainless steel material, which is more flexible in structure on the basis of ensuring the structural strength and rigidity of the framework.

[0057] In the superconducting magnet framework 10 of the embodiment, the support frame 11, the upper winding framework 12, and the lower winding framework 13 are arranged to be detachably connected, so that each part of the superconducting magnet framework 10 can be manufactured and processed separately, and the size precision and shape precision of each part produced are improved due to the small volume of each part produced separately, the production difficulty is reduced, and the structure is more flexible, facilitating assembly and disassembly, thereby simplifying the installation and maintenance process of the superconducting magnet; the upper winding framework 12 and the lower winding framework 13 are provided with upper side stops and lower side stops protruding in different radial directions, and the first pull rod 14 is arranged to connect the upper side stops of the upper winding framework 12 and the lower side stops of the lower winding framework 13, thereby improving the structural strength, rigidity, and stability of the entire superconducting magnet framework 10, and the first pull rod 14 can better protect the coils between the upper and lower side stops.

[0058] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the plurality of first pull rods 14 are arranged along the circumference of the upper winding frame 12 and the lower winding frame 13, and are connected to the first upper side block 121 and the second lower side block 132 at two ends respectively. In the present embodiment, the number of first pull rods 14 can be selected according to specific requirements. Meanwhile, the plurality of first pull rods 14 can be arranged equidistantly or unequidistantly along the circumference of the upper winding frame 12 or the lower winding frame 13, and are preferably arranged equidistantly. In this way, due to the connection of the first pull rods 14 with the first upper side block 121 and the second lower side block 132, the top end surface of the upper winding frame 12 and the bottom end surface of the lower winding frame 13 are subjected to relative pulling force. Since the plurality of pulling forces are distributed along the upper winding frame 12 or the lower winding frame 13, the strength and stability of the superconducting magnet frame 10 structure are further improved.

[0059] Optionally, the plurality of first pull rods 14 are preferably distributed on the same circumferential contour. The first upper side block 121 and the second lower side block 132 protrude from the surfaces of the first lower side block 122 and the second upper side block 131, and are respectively provided with first connecting holes 1211 and second connecting holes 1321 for connecting the first pull rods 14. The first connecting holes 1211 and the second connecting holes 1321 are coaxially arranged along the first direction A. It should be understood that the number of first connecting holes 1211 or second connecting holes 1321 is the same as the number of first pull rods 14. The first connecting holes 1211 and the second connecting holes 1321 are distributed on the same diameter circumferential contour. In this way, threads or other fastening structures can be arranged at both ends of the first pull rods 14. Both ends pass through the first connecting holes 1211 and the second connecting holes 1321 and are fixed by nuts, facilitating the installation of the first pull rods 14.

[0060] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the projection profile of the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133 along the first direction A is a circular ring, and the ratio of the inner diameter R of the circular ring to the distance L between the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133 along the first direction A satisfies the range of 2.5 < R / L < 2.7. It should be noted that in actual superconducting magnet frames 10, the volume of the upper winding frame 12 and the lower winding frame 13 is actually much larger than the volume of the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133. For example, the distance between the central axis shown by the dashed line in the figure and the inner side wall of the upper winding frame or the inner side wall of the upper winding cavity 123 is negligible. The distance L between the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133 along the first direction A can be defined as the distance between the middle position of the upper winding cavity 123 along the first direction A and the middle position of the lower winding cavity 133 along the first direction A.

[0061] It should be noted that by setting the ratio of the inner diameter R of the upper winding cavity 123 and the lower winding cavity 133 to the spacing L between the two superconducting coils in the first direction A to be in the range of 2.5 < R / L < 2.7, the inner diameter R of the wound superconducting coil and the spacing L between the two superconducting coils can satisfy 2.5 < R / L < 2.7. In specific embodiments, the ratio of the inner diameter R of the superconducting coil to the spacing L between the two superconducting coils is related to the magnetic field strength and the magnetic field distribution requirements. When the ratio of the inner diameter R of the superconducting coil to the spacing L between the two superconducting coils is within the above range, the distribution of the magnetic field in the superconducting magnet can be optimized, so that when the radial distance from the mid-plane of the superconducting magnet to the central axis of the superconducting magnet satisfies a certain range, the magnetic field strength and the magnetic field distribution can meet the conditions required for single crystal growth.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The present embodiment provides a superconducting magnet, which comprises a vacuum dewar 101, a cold shield 102, a superconducting magnet framework 10, upper and lower coils 103 and 104, a cold conducting assembly 20, and a refrigerator 105. The vacuum dewar 101 is a closed hollow circular cylindrical structure. The cold shield 102 is accommodated in the vacuum dewar 101 and is also a hollow circular cylindrical structure. The superconducting magnet framework 10 is accommodated in the cold shield 102. The upper and lower coils 103 and 104 are respectively spirally wound in the upper and lower winding cavities 123 and 133. The cold conducting assembly 20 is accommodated in the cold shield 102 and comprises a cold conducting copper plate 21 arranged on the top surface of the upper winding framework 12, a copper sheet 22 arranged on the surfaces of the upper and lower coils 103 and 104, and a main cold conducting member 23 connected with the copper sheet 22 and the cold conducting copper plate 21, respectively. The refrigerator 105 is provided with a primary cold head 1051 and a secondary cold head 1052 penetrating the vacuum dewar 101 and the cold shield 102. The primary cold head 1051 is in cold conducting connection with the cold shield 102, and the secondary cold head 1052 is in cold conducting connection with the top end of the main cold conducting member 23.
