Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of accelerator technology, and more particularly to a modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules and an accelerator. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of accelerator technology, the magnet system is the core component for realizing particle beam focusing, deflection and trajectory control. Among them, the quadrupole magnets need to be densely arranged to meet the requirements of beam control accuracy, and their installation space is often extremely limited.

[0003] In existing technologies, the traditional installation process requires first fixing the bracket, then aligning the magnet modules and beam pipes one by one, and finally connecting the water-cooling pipelines, involving multiple processes such as laser calibration, bolt tightening, and pipeline sealing. Because the fit between the bracket and the magnets needs to be adjusted manually and repeatedly using screws or shims, this operation relies on experienced technicians. Furthermore, each adjustment is time-consuming and prone to human error causing magnet position drift, ultimately requiring multiple rework and calibrations, severely impacting the accelerator construction cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a modular installation device and accelerator for accelerator magnet modules, which solves the above-mentioned technical defects in the prior art and can shorten the on-site installation time and downtime maintenance time of the accelerator.

[0005] A first aspect of the present invention provides a modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module, comprising:

[0006] Load-bearing components;

[0007] At least one support component, each of the support components comprising:

[0008] The first supporting body is mounted on the load-bearing component via a guide assembly;

[0009] The second support body is used to install the accelerator magnet module. The second support body is located parallel to the first support body above it and is connected to the first support body through the first adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the first support body in the Z direction. The second support body is provided with multiple second adjustment mechanisms, with each pair of second adjustment mechanisms arranged to adjust the position of the accelerator magnet module in the X and Y directions.

[0010] Every three of the second adjustment mechanisms form an adjustment group. Each adjustment group is located near the end of the second support body. The lines connecting the three second adjustment mechanisms in each adjustment group form a virtual isosceles triangle.

[0011] The two second adjustment mechanisms arranged opposite each other in each adjustment group are used to drive the accelerator magnet module to move in the X direction. The third second adjustment mechanism in each adjustment group cooperates with the second adjustment mechanism at the corresponding position in another group to drive the accelerator magnet module to move in the Y direction.

[0012] The manifold assembly, located on the supporting component, is used to provide water cooling for the accelerator magnet module.

[0015] The adjusting nut is threadedly engaged with the first adjusting screw.

[0016] Specifically, the second support body is driven to move along the Z direction by rotating the first adjusting screw, and the adjusting position is locked by the adjusting nut.

[0017] According to the modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules provided by the present invention, each of the second adjustment mechanisms includes:

[0018] An adjustable base is fixedly mounted on the second support body;

[0019] The second adjusting screw passes through the adjusting base and is threadedly connected to the adjusting base;

[0020] The second adjusting screw is used to abut against the accelerator magnet module to drive the accelerator magnet module to move in the X or Y direction.

[0021] According to the modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module provided by the present invention, the current collector assembly includes:

[0022] Supporting components are spaced apart from the bearing components;

[0023] A water inlet pipe is provided on the support component and extends along the length of the bearing component. Multiple water inlet diversion components are provided at intervals on the water inlet pipe, and the water inlet diversion components are connected to the accelerator magnet module.

[0024] A water outlet pipe is provided on the support component and is parallel to the water inlet pipe. Multiple water outlet diversion components are provided on the water outlet pipe at intervals. The water outlet diversion components are connected to the accelerator magnet module.

[0025] The inlet and outlet water diversion components are staggered, and both ends of the inlet and outlet pipes are equipped with flanges.

[0026] According to the modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module provided by the present invention, both the inlet water flow component and the outlet water flow component include:

[0027] The diversion pipe is arranged to intersect with the inlet pipe or the outlet pipe;

[0028] A compression ball valve is located at the inlet end of the diversion pipe and is used to control the flow rate of the cooling medium in stages.

[0029] According to the modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules provided by the present invention, the guide assembly includes a linear guide rail and a slider;

[0030] The linear guide rail is disposed on one of the first support body and the bearing component, and the slider is disposed on the other of the first support body and the bearing component.

[0031] According to the modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules provided by the present invention, the supporting component includes:

[0032] Support frame;

[0033] An adjustment base, located at the bottom of the support frame, is used to adjust the flatness of the support frame so that the accelerator magnet module is aligned with the reference of the accelerator tunnel.

[0034] The first support body is mounted on the bearing component via a guide assembly, and the manifold assembly is located on one side of the bearing frame.

[0035] The modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module provided by the present invention further includes a target holder;

[0036] The target seats are spaced around the support frame and are used by the laser tracker to pre-calibrate the position and orientation of the support frame.

[0037] A second aspect of the present invention provides an accelerator including the modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0038] The advantages of the modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules provided by this invention are as follows:

[0039] The modular installation device for accelerator magnet modules provided by this invention features at least one support component on the top of a supporting component. Each support component includes a first support body and a second support body. The first support body is positioned on the supporting component via a guide component to adjust the spacing between adjacent first support bodies. The second support body is connected to the first support body via a first adjustment mechanism, adapted to adjust its position in the Z-axis direction. A second adjustment mechanism is provided on the second support body, arranged in pairs, for adjusting the position of the accelerator magnet module in the X and Y directions. This simplifies and standardizes the installation process, significantly shortening on-site installation and downtime maintenance time. Installation accuracy is ensured by mechanical mechanisms, reducing reliance on operator experience. It achieves a high degree of integration of support, adjustment, and cooling functions, improving the overall system performance and deployment flexibility.

[0040] Specifically, the accelerator magnet module and the modular installation device for aligning the accelerator magnet module can be pre-assembled in a cleanroom to form a standardized integrated module. The overall leveling is achieved through the adjustment base at the bottom of the supporting component, and then the integrated accelerator magnet module is installed to the target position through the guide component. Only the first and second adjustment mechanisms are needed to complete the final physical alignment of the accelerator magnet module and the beam pipe. No additional calibration shims or bolts are required. The installation steps are simplified from the traditional four steps of "positioning-tightening-leveling-watering" to three steps of "coarse adjustment-fine adjustment-watering". The accuracy is guaranteed by the mechanical adjustment mechanism and can reach 0.01mm. This can effectively adjust the installation process of various magnets of the accelerator and shorten the on-site installation time.

[0041] The magnet module can be precisely adjusted in six degrees of freedom through the first and second adjustment mechanisms. In particular, the second adjustment mechanism, which adopts an isosceles triangle layout, ensures the stability of the adjustment.

[0042] Furthermore, accelerator magnets (especially high-power conventional magnets or superconducting magnets) require a water-cooling system to dissipate heat during operation. In this embodiment of the invention, a manifold assembly is installed on the supporting component to provide water cooling for the accelerator magnet module. When the magnet module needs to adjust its spacing or direction due to a compact layout (e.g., a quadrupole magnet transitioning from a straight section to a curved section), the manifold assembly can flexibly adapt and effectively coordinate with the water distribution of related systems.

[0043] The accelerator provided by the present invention includes the modular installation device for the accelerator magnet module described above, and therefore has all the advantages mentioned above, which can shorten the on-site installation time and downtime maintenance time of the accelerator.

[0060] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] See Figure 1This invention provides a modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module, which includes a load-bearing component 10, at least one support component 20, and a manifold assembly 60.

[0062] The load-bearing component 10 can consist of a foundation load-bearing platform and an adjustable base 12. The foundation load-bearing platform can be a load-bearing frame 11 composed of box beams, columns, and reinforcing ribs. The materials for the box beams, columns, and reinforcing ribs can be cast iron or Invar steel with a low coefficient of thermal expansion to ensure thermal stability. The top surface of the load-bearing component 10 is machined into a precision flat surface, which undergoes secondary aging treatment to eliminate internal stress and prevent deformation after long-term use. The bottom of the load-bearing component 10 has a pre-reserved bolt interface for bolting connection to the accelerator's tunnel foundation.

[0063] Each support component 20 includes a first support body 21 and a second support body 22.

[0064] The first support body 21 is mounted on the bearing component 10 via a guide assembly 30. The guide assembly 30 can employ a combination of double linear guides 31 and a slider 32. The linear guides 31 are fixed to the bearing component 10 with countersunk bolts to prevent the bolts from protruding and interfering with the movement of the slider 32. The linear guides 31 are horizontally positioned on the top surface of the bearing component 10, and their length covers the entire length of the bearing component 10. The slider 32 is located at the bottom of the first support body 21 and cooperates with the linear guides 31 to ensure the straightness of the horizontal movement of the first support body 21, thereby enabling adjustment of the distance between adjacent first support bodies 21.

[0065] In addition, the linear guide 31 can also be set in the first support body 21, and correspondingly, the slider 32 can be set on the top surface of the bearing component 10.

[0066] The second support body 22 is used to mount the accelerator magnet module. The size of the second support body 22 can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual size of the accelerator magnet module. The second support body 22 is located parallel above the first support body 21 and is connected to the first support body 21 through the first adjustment mechanism 40, which is used to adjust the position of the first support body 21 in the Z direction. In other words, the second support body 22 is a flat plate structure, parallel to the horizontal plane of the first support body 21, and the second support body 22 is connected to the first support body 21 through four sets of equidistantly distributed first adjustment mechanisms 40 (Z-direction adjustment screws).

[0067] The second support body 22 is equipped with multiple second adjustment mechanisms 50, with each pair of second adjustment mechanisms 50 arranged in pairs for adjusting the position of the accelerator magnet module in the X and Y directions. Each second adjustment mechanism 50 can be a screw adjustment assembly or a lead screw and nut pair.

[0068] The manifold assembly 60 is located on the support component 10 and is used to provide water cooling for the accelerator magnet module.

[0069] It is understood that the modular mounting device for accelerator magnet modules provided in the embodiments of the present invention provides at least one support component 20 on the top of the supporting component 10. Each support component 20 includes a first support body 21 and a second support body 22. The first support body 21 is disposed on the supporting component 10 through a guide component 30 to adjust the spacing between two adjacent first support bodies 21. The second support body 22 is connected to the first support body 21 through a first adjustment mechanism 40 and is adapted to adjust its own position in the Z-axis direction. The second support body 22 is provided with a second adjustment mechanism 50. The second adjustment mechanisms 50 are arranged in pairs and are used to adjust the position of the accelerator magnet module in the X and Y directions.

[0070] This configuration allows for the pre-assembly of the accelerator magnet module and the modular installation device for aligning the accelerator magnet module within a cleanroom, forming a standardized integrated module. The entire module is leveled via the adjusting base 12 at the bottom of the supporting component 10, and then the integrated accelerator magnet module is installed to the target position via the guide assembly 30. Only the first adjusting mechanism 40 and the second adjusting mechanism 50 are needed to achieve the final physical alignment of the accelerator magnet module and the beam pipe, eliminating the need for additional calibration shims or bolts. The installation process is simplified from the traditional four steps of "positioning-tightening-leveling-watering" to three steps of "coarse adjustment-fine adjustment-watering." The accuracy is guaranteed by the mechanical adjusting mechanism, reaching 0.01mm, effectively adjusting the installation process for various accelerator magnets and shortening on-site installation time.

[0071] Furthermore, accelerator magnets (especially high-power conventional magnets or superconducting magnets) require a water-cooling system to dissipate heat during operation. In this embodiment of the invention, a manifold assembly 60 is provided on the supporting component 10 to provide water cooling for the accelerator magnet module. When the magnet module needs to adjust its spacing or direction due to its compact layout (such as when a quadrupole magnet moves from a straight section to a curved section), the manifold assembly 60 can be flexibly adapted.

[0072] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of each support component 20 in the modular installation device for accelerator magnet modules provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] See Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the first adjusting mechanism 40 includes a first adjusting screw 41 and an adjusting nut 42. The first adjusting screw 41 is distributed near both ends of the first support body 21, passes through the first support body 21, and is connected to the second support body 22. The adjusting nut 42 is threadedly engaged with the first adjusting screw 41.

[0074] The first adjusting screw 41 is a precision ball screw. One end of the first adjusting screw 41 is fixed to the first support body 21 through a flange, and the other end passes through the through hole of the second support body 22. The second support body 22 is moved along the Z direction by rotating the first adjusting screw 41, and the adjusting position is locked by the adjusting nut 42.

[0075] Continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, each second adjusting mechanism 50 includes an adjusting base 51 and a second adjusting screw 52. The adjusting base 51 is fixedly mounted on the second support body 22 by welding, and a threaded hole is provided on the adjusting base 51. The second adjusting screw 52 passes through the threaded hole of the adjusting base 51 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting base 51.

[0076] The second adjusting screw 52 is used to abut against the accelerator magnet module to drive the accelerator magnet module to move in the X or Y direction.

[0077] Essentially, the X / Y adjustment function of the second support body 22 is achieved through dual-axis orthogonal adjustment screws. Two X-axis adjustment screws are arranged parallel to each other along the X-axis (horizontal transverse direction), symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the second support body 22. Each adjustment screw is fixed to the side of the second support body 22 via an adjustment base 51. Similarly, two Y-axis adjustment screws are arranged parallel to each other along the Y-axis (horizontal longitudinal direction), symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the second support body 22. Each adjustment screw is also fixed to the side of the second support body 22 via an adjustment base 51.

[0078] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the accelerator magnet module installed on the second support body 22, rotate the X-axis adjusting screw to drive the X-axis adjusting screw to rotate, thereby adjusting the movement of the accelerator magnet module in the X-axis. Similarly, rotate the Y-axis adjusting screw to drive the Y-axis adjusting screw to rotate, thereby adjusting the movement of the accelerator magnet module in the Y-axis.

[0079] Continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, every three second adjustment mechanisms 50 constitute an adjustment group, and each adjustment group is located near the end of the second support body 22. The lines connecting the three second adjustment mechanisms 50 in each adjustment group form a virtual isosceles triangle.

[0080] Two second adjustment mechanisms 50 arranged opposite each other in each adjustment group are used to drive the accelerator magnet module to move in the X direction. The third second adjustment mechanism 50 in each adjustment group cooperates with the second adjustment mechanism 50 in the corresponding position of another group to drive the accelerator magnet module to move in the Y direction.

[0081] This configuration ensures that the two adjusting screws (symmetrically distributed along the base of an isosceles triangle) in each group synchronously drive the accelerator magnet module to move along the X-axis. Because the two adjusting screws are symmetrically arranged, adjustment only requires synchronous rotation of both screws to ensure that the accelerator magnet module translates along the X-axis without tilting (avoiding Y-axis offset caused by unilateral force). Compared to the traditional method of using a single adjusting screw to drive the X-axis, there is no need for additional calibration of the left-right adjustment difference, reducing the number of operational steps.

[0082] The third adjusting screw in each group (located at the vertex of the isosceles triangle) works in conjunction with the corresponding adjusting screw in another group (located at the other end of the second support body 22). By simultaneously adjusting the adjusting screws at the vertices of the two groups, translational adjustment in the Y direction can be achieved. The cross-group linkage design decomposes the Y-direction adjustment task into two symmetrical operations, avoiding the problems of insufficient adjustment force or wobbling caused by excessively long lever arms when driving the Y direction with a single screw, making operation more labor-saving.

[0083] Furthermore, the two adjusting screws (driving the X direction) on the base of the isosceles triangle are equidistant from the center of gravity of the accelerator magnet module (assuming it is located at the center of the second support body 22). During adjustment, the two screws exert equal and opposite thrusts on the accelerator magnet module, ensuring that there is no additional torque when moving in the X direction (avoiding the magnet module from rotating around the Y axis).

[0084] The two sets of adjusting screws (driving the Y direction) located at the vertices of the isosceles triangle are equidistant from the center of gravity of the accelerator magnet module. When adjusting synchronously, the thrust of the two adjusting screws is superimposed along the Y-axis to form a pure Y-axis translational force, which avoids the magnet module tilting around the X-axis due to excessive force on one side.

[0085] Meanwhile, the three adjusting screws in each group form the three vertices of an isosceles triangle, creating a stable triangular support structure. During adjustment, the weight of the accelerator magnet module is evenly distributed through the three adjusting screws, which effectively improves the anti-overturning capability compared to traditional quadrilateral or linear layouts (which are prone to deformation due to excessive force at a single point).

[0086] The clearance between the adjusting screw and nut is symmetrically distributed in an isosceles triangle layout. During adjustment, the clearances of the two X-axis screws can cancel each other out (e.g., the clearance of the left screw is to the left, and the clearance of the right screw is to the right), avoiding the crawling phenomenon of the accelerator magnet module (jamming or jumping during adjustment) caused by unilateral clearance. The same applies to the two vertex screws of the Y-axis adjustment, minimizing the impact of clearance. This significantly simplifies the adjustment process and reduces the difficulty of operation. At the same time, it effectively controls error accumulation by utilizing geometric stability and standardized design, which is a key innovation for high-precision and high-efficiency adjustment of the accelerator magnet module.

[0087] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the current collector assembly 60 in the modular installation device for accelerator magnet modules provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] See Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the manifold assembly 60 includes a support member 61, an inlet pipe 62, and an outlet pipe 63.

[0089] Supporting components 61 are spaced apart from bearing components 10. Supporting components 61 include supporting ribs 612 and supporting bases 611. Supporting bases 611 are fixedly installed on bearing components 10 by welding. Supporting ribs 612 are "L"-shaped and can be detachably connected to supporting bases 611 by bolts or other structures.

[0090] The water inlet pipe 62 is provided on the support rib 612 of the support component 61 and extends along the length direction of the bearing component 10. Multiple water inlet diversion components 64 are provided on the water inlet pipe 62 at intervals, and the water inlet diversion components 64 are connected to the accelerator magnet module.

[0091] The water outlet pipe 63 is located on the support rib 612 of the support component 61 and is parallel to the water inlet pipe 62. Multiple water outlet diversion components 65 are provided on the water outlet pipe 63 at intervals. The water outlet diversion components 65 are connected to the accelerator magnet module.

[0092] The inlet water flow component 64 and the outlet water flow component 65 are staggered. Both ends of the inlet pipe 62 and the outlet pipe 63 are equipped with flanges 66, which are connected to the external cooling unit.

[0093] By staggering the inlet water diversion component 64 (diverter) and the outlet water diversion component 65 (collector) along the length of the magnet module (e.g., inlet end in front, outlet end behind), the cooling water is forced to flow unidirectionally along the length of the magnet body, extending the water flow path and ensuring that each section of the magnet is fully cooled. For example, for a 1m long magnet module, the staggered arrangement allows the water to flow from the inlet end through the entire magnet before flowing out from the outlet end, avoiding the risk of short-circuiting. At the same time, the outlet position does not overlap with the inlet, avoiding pipe interference, and even in narrow tunnel spaces, the inlet pipe 62 and outlet pipe 63 can be flexibly arranged.

[0094] The accelerator magnet module is mass-produced in a standardized modular form. Both ends of the inlet pipe 62 and the outlet pipe 63 are flanged 66, which can be connected to the main cooling pipeline from the left or right side of the magnet module to adapt to different directions of the accelerator ring section (such as straight section and turning section).

[0095] Continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, both the inlet water diversion component 64 and the outlet water diversion component 65 include a diversion pipe 641 and a compression fitting ball valve 642. The diversion pipe 641 is intersected with the inlet pipe 62 or the outlet pipe 63 and is welded and fixed. The compression fitting ball valve 642 is located at the inlet end of the diversion pipe 641 and is used to control the flow rate of the cooling medium in sections, so as to realize the individual control of the equipment water circuit and facilitate maintenance and replacement.

[0096] It should be noted that the position of the shunt pipe 641 corresponds one-to-one with the mounting position of the accelerator magnet module. A ferrule ball valve 642 is installed on the shunt pipe 641 for segmented control of the cooling medium flow rate. The outer surface of the shunt pipe 641 is wrapped with a silicone rubber heat insulation layer to prevent changes in the cooling medium temperature due to fluctuations in ambient temperature.

[0097] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the carrier component 10 and the guide component 30 cooperating in the modular installation device for accelerator magnet modules provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0098] See Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the supporting component 10 includes a supporting frame 11 and an adjusting base 12. The adjusting base 12 is located at the bottom of the supporting frame 11. The adjusting base 12 can perform three-dimensional adjustment of the entire modular installation device to adjust the flatness of the supporting frame 11 so that the accelerator magnet module is aligned with the reference of the accelerator tunnel.

[0099] The first support body 21 is mounted on the bearing component 10 via a guide assembly 30, and the manifold assembly 60 is mounted on one side of the bearing frame 11. The guide assembly 30 includes a linear guide rail 31 and a slider 32. The linear guide rail 31 is mounted on one of the first support body 21 and the bearing component 10, and the slider 32 is mounted on the other of the first support body 21 and the bearing component 10.

[0100] In addition, the modular mounting device for the accelerator magnet module also includes a target holder 13, which is spaced around the support frame 11 and is used by the laser tracker to pre-calibrate the position and orientation of the support frame 11.

[0101] Therefore, the modular installation device provided in this embodiment of the invention is not limited by site space during assembly and can be installed and integrated with the equipment independently in a suitable location. The manifold assembly 60 can be directly connected to the main water system pipeline, effectively meeting the flexibility requirements of the overall water system connection. After the accelerator magnet module is assembled with the modular installation device, it is installed online as a whole. Only the adjustment base 12 of the modular installation device needs to be adjusted, and the entire modular installation device can be aligned and installed online through the overall target seat 13. The installation is simple, the accuracy is easy to control, and it meets the water cooling requirements of the magnet equipment and the requirements of modular installation.

[0102] The present invention also provides an accelerator, which includes the above-described modular mounting device for an accelerator magnet module.

[0103] In accelerators, the position of the magnets directly affects the trajectory of the particle beam (e.g., in synchrotrons, quadrupole magnets are used for focusing and dipole magnets are used for deflection). The multi-directional adjustment mechanism of the modular mounting device can ensure that the spatial orientation error between the magnets and the beam channel is small.

[0104] Because accelerators are typically large in scale (such as a ring accelerator with a circumference of several kilometers) and have a large number of magnet modules (up to thousands), the standardized interfaces of the support (such as guide rail fixing plates and manifold fixing seats) support quick disassembly and replacement of faulty modules, which greatly shortens the on-site installation time of the accelerator and the downtime for maintenance.

[0105] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
