Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnet technology for particle accelerators, and more particularly to a permanent magnet type magnet for beam detectors. Background Technology

[0002] In particle accelerator devices, the Faraday tube is an important device in the beam detector, which measures parameters such as the size and uniformity of the charged particle beam. As the beam energy increases, conventional Faraday tubes cannot suppress charged particles by electric fields alone, and a confinement magnetic field needs to be added.

[0003] In existing technologies, confinement magnetic fields are generally generated by electromagnets. However, the Faraday cylinder in a beam detector is sealed in a vacuum. First, the insulation layer of traditional electromagnet coils is generally made of organic materials, which can adversely affect the acquisition of a vacuum and is easily damaged in a strong radiation environment. Second, the Faraday cylinder needs to perform one-dimensional linear motion during the start and end of the test, which places high demands on the design of the electromagnet coil's lead wire structure. Moreover, the reciprocating motion reduces the lifespan of the coil's lead wire structure, requiring frequent replacement, which is detrimental to the stability of the entire system. Furthermore, the electromagnet with a coil structure is heavy, making it difficult to install at the end of the Faraday cylinder. These factors make adding an electromagnet to the Faraday cylinder of a beam detector complex and increase costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problems of stability, simple installation, and light weight of confined magnetic field equipment is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0023] The following is combined with Figs. 1-2 The present invention describes a permanent magnet for a beam detector, comprising a magnet frame 10 and a permanent magnet assembly, the permanent magnet assembly comprising a plurality of permanent magnet blocks fixed on the magnet frame 10.

[0024] The magnet frame 10 is hollow inside, and the inner periphery of the magnet frame 10 forms a square hole. The hollow square hole structure provides an assembly reference and accommodation space for the internal permanent magnet assembly, ensuring the accuracy of the magnetic block installation position.

[0025] The magnet frame 10 is the supporting structure of the entire magnet and also serves as a magnetic conductive structure. It is made of electrical pure iron or other soft magnetic materials. The soft magnetic material can provide a low magnetic resistance loop for the magnetic lines of force generated by the permanent magnet, thereby enhancing the magnetic field strength generated by the permanent magnet assembly, concentrating the magnetic flux in the central working area, improving magnet efficiency, and reducing energy loss.

[0026] The magnet frame 10 is used to fix the entire permanent magnet to the beam detector equipment, ensuring structural stability and vibration resistance during equipment operation. It is possible, but not limited to, to install four mounting threaded holes on the magnet frame 10, through which the magnet frame 10 and the beam detector equipment are threadedly fixed.

[0027] The permanent magnet assembly is disposed on the inner periphery of the magnet frame 10. The permanent magnet assembly and the magnet frame 10 are in contact to form a closed magnetic circuit, and a magnetic field in one direction is generated on the inner side of the permanent magnet assembly.

[0028] The permanent magnet assembly includes a first permanent magnet block 21, a second permanent magnet block 22, a third permanent magnet block 23, and a fourth permanent magnet block 24, which are embedded inside the magnet frame 10. The permanent magnet assembly is constructed by splicing or welding multiple blocks, which simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production costs compared to using permanent magnets with complex shapes.

[0029] The first permanent magnet block 21 is disposed on the first side of the magnet frame 10, which can be understood as the inner top side; the second permanent magnet block 22 is disposed on the second side of the magnet frame 10, which can be understood as the inner bottom side; that is, the first permanent magnet block 21 and the second permanent magnet block 22 are disposed opposite to each other. The third permanent magnet block 23 and the fourth permanent magnet block 24 are located on the third inner side and the fourth inner side of the magnet frame 10, which can be understood as the left and right sides.

[0030] like Fig. 2 As shown, the first permanent magnet block 21 is the excitation structure at the top of the permanent magnet assembly. It is made of a long strip of permanent magnet material and is used to generate a magnetic field in the first direction after being magnetized. The first direction can be understood as the upward direction. The first permanent magnet block 21 provides the basis for establishing the core vertical magnetic field component in the central region of the magnet.

[0031] The second permanent magnet block 22 is the excitation structure at the bottom of the permanent magnet assembly. It is made of a long strip of permanent magnet material. After being magnetized, the second permanent magnet block 22 is used to generate a magnetic field in the first direction. The magnetization direction of the second permanent magnet block 22 is the same as that of the first permanent magnet block 21. The two work together to concentrate and enhance the magnetic field lines in the central working area.

[0032] The third permanent magnet block 23 is the excitation structure on both sides of the permanent magnet assembly. It is arranged in pairs on the third and fourth sides of the magnet frame 10. The third permanent magnet block 23 is used to generate a magnetic field in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, that is, the third permanent magnet block 23 generates a downward magnetic field.

[0033] The fourth permanent magnet block 24 is the excitation structure on both sides of the permanent magnet assembly. It is arranged in pairs on the third and fourth sides of the magnet frame 10, and each pair of fourth permanent magnet blocks 24 generates a magnetic field in a third direction and a fourth direction, respectively. The third and fourth directions are opposite, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction; that is, if one of the third and fourth directions is to the left, the other is to the right. The fourth permanent magnet blocks 24 form a complete magnetic flux loop, guiding the magnetic flux from the third permanent magnet block 23 back into the magnet frame 10, enhancing the magnetic field strength in the central region, and reducing magnetic leakage from the entire magnet structure to the external environment, thus achieving a highly efficient, compact, and highly concentrated permanent magnet structure.

[0034] Furthermore, the first permanent magnet block 21, the second permanent magnet block 22, the third permanent magnet block 23 and the fourth permanent magnet block 24 can be embedded inside the magnet frame 10.

[0035] In some feasible embodiments of the present invention, the fourth permanent magnet block 24 includes two pairs, the two pairs of fourth permanent magnet blocks 24 are located on opposite sides of the third permanent magnet block 23, and the fourth permanent magnet block 24 and the third permanent magnet block 23 are spaced apart, decomposing the originally complete side magnetic block into multiple independent magnetic blocks and arranging them at specific intervals, effectively adjusting and improving the magnetic field quality of the central region without increasing the overall complexity.

[0036] In some feasible embodiments of the present invention, the third permanent magnet block 23 includes multiple permanent magnet units and adopts a multi-block structure, which can reduce processing difficulty and manufacturing cost, improve material utilization and production efficiency, and also enhance design flexibility to adapt to diverse application scenarios and performance requirements.

[0037] Preferably, in some feasible embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of positioning grooves 11 are provided on the inner circumference of the magnet frame 10. The positioning grooves 11 ensure that each permanent magnet block can be accurately installed in a preset position, thus guaranteeing the accuracy and consistency of the magnetic field distribution of the entire magnet system. The positioning grooves 11 are used to correspondingly install the first permanent magnet block 21, the second permanent magnet block 22, the third permanent magnet block 23, and the fourth permanent magnet block 24.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figs. 1-2 The permanent magnet for beam detectors of the present invention includes a magnet frame 10 and a permanent magnet assembly. Multiple threaded holes can be opened on the magnet frame 10 for fixing the entire permanent magnet to the beam detector equipment. The magnet frame 10 is the supporting structure for the entire magnet and is made of electrical pure iron or other soft magnetic materials to enhance the magnetic field strength generated by the permanent magnet assembly and reduce energy loss. The permanent magnet assembly is the excitation structure of the entire magnet, embedded inside the magnet frame 10. The permanent magnet assembly includes a first permanent magnet block 21 at the top, a second permanent magnet block 22 at the bottom, a third permanent magnet block 23 in the middle of the left and right sides, and a fourth permanent magnet block 24 at the upper and lower parts of the left and right sides. The first permanent magnet block 21 is the excitation structure at the top of the magnet, made of a long strip of permanent magnet material, with a first slot 211 on the surface at the corresponding position. After being magnetized, it is used to generate an upward magnetic field. The second permanent magnet block 22 is the excitation structure at the bottom of the magnet, made of a long strip of permanent magnet material, with a second slot 221 on the surface at the corresponding position. After being magnetized, it is used to generate an upward magnetic field. The fourth permanent magnet block 24 is made of permanent magnet material, and there are four of them in total. After being magnetized, they generate magnetic fields in different directions at different positions. The third permanent magnet block 23 is made of permanent magnet material, with four on each side. After being magnetized, they generate a downward magnetic field simultaneously.

[0039] During production, the first permanent magnet block 21 and the second permanent magnet block 22 are grooved and magnetized on their respective surfaces and then installed on the top inner side and bottom inner side of the magnet frame 10. The third permanent magnet block 23 is installed in the middle position on the left and right sides of the magnet frame 10, and the fourth permanent magnet block 24 is installed on the left and right sides of the magnet frame 10.

[0040] In use, the magnet frame 10 is fixedly connected to the Faraday tube of the beam detector. The magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet assembly installed inside the magnet frame 10 is enhanced by the magnet frame 10, and a stable and uniform confinement magnetic field is generated within the aperture surrounded by the permanent magnet block, thereby suppressing the passing charged particles.

[0041] 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.
