Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of particle accelerator technology, and in particular to a directional moving vacuum sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] A synchrotron radiation source is a physical device that generates synchrotron radiation. It is a high-performance, novel, and powerful light source that utilizes the deflection of relativistic electrons (or positrons) in a magnetic field to produce synchrotron radiation. The vacuum tube is a crucial component of a synchrotron radiation source; the synchrotron radiation striking the inner wall of the vacuum tube generates a significant heat load.
[0003] In the field of particle accelerators, shielding blocks need to be installed on the vacuum pipes to block certain ion beams inside the vacuum pipes. The shielding blocks also need to be directionally moved and adjusted, and the shielding blocks need to be controlled at a suitable temperature. Due to the spatial structure limitations of the vacuum pipes, the structure needs to be compact while meeting the functional requirements and achieving a high cost-performance ratio.
[0004] Since conventional sealing structures are static seals, they cannot remotely control the movement of the shielding block while the accelerator is running. In order to achieve position control of the shielding block under different usage conditions, adjustments can only be made when the accelerator is stopped, which results in a huge waste of resources.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a motion-type sealing structure that can adjust the movement of the shielding block through a remote control system connected to the motor during normal operation of the accelerator, without causing a decrease in the overall vacuum level of the equipment, thus ensuring that the entire accelerator can operate smoothly in a vacuum state. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a directional moving vacuum sealing structure, which aims to adjust the movement of the shielding block through a remote control system connected to a motor during normal operation of the accelerator, without causing a decrease in the overall vacuum level of the equipment, thus ensuring that the entire accelerator can operate stably under vacuum.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a directional moving vacuum sealing structure, including a moving rod, a sealing guide assembly, an inlet water passage assembly, and a return water passage assembly. The inlet water passage assembly is fixedly connected to the moving rod and located on one side of the moving rod. The return water passage assembly is fixedly connected to the moving rod and located on the side of the moving rod away from the inlet water passage assembly. The sealing guide assembly is sleeved on the outside of the moving rod. The sealing guide assembly includes a graphite sleeve, a first fluororubber O-ring, a second fluororubber O-ring, a pressure ring, and a guide flange. The system includes a pressure cap and hexagonal head bolts; the guide flange is located outside the moving rod; the first fluororubber O-ring is located inside the guide flange; the pressure ring is located on one side of the first fluororubber O-ring; the second fluororubber O-ring is located on the side of the pressure ring away from the first fluororubber O-ring; the graphite sleeve is located on the side of the second fluororubber O-ring away from the pressure ring; the pressure cap is located on the side of the guide flange near the water inlet assembly; and the hexagonal head bolts are threadedly connected to the pressure cap and penetrate the pressure cap.
[0008] The water inlet assembly includes a water inlet device and a water inlet connector. The water inlet device is fixedly connected to the moving rod and is located on the side of the moving rod away from the return water inlet assembly. The water inlet connector is connected to the water inlet device and is located outside the water inlet device.
[0009] The water return circuit assembly includes a connector and a return water device. The connector is fixedly connected to the moving rod and is located on the side of the moving rod away from the water inlet. The return water device is fixedly connected to the connector and is located on the side of the connector away from the moving rod.
[0010] The sealing guide assembly further includes a flat washer, which is disposed between the gland and the hexagonal head bolt.
[0011] The gap between the outer diameter of the moving rod and the inner diameter of the graphite sleeve is in the range of 0-0.02mm.
[0012] This utility model discloses a directional moving vacuum sealing structure. The moving rod passes through the inner hole of the guide flange, and a first fluororubber O-ring, a pressure ring, and a second fluororubber O-ring are sequentially installed inside the guide flange. A graphite sleeve is then installed onto the guide flange. Finally, a pressure cap is placed over the graphite sleeve, and hexagonal head bolts are tightened to fix the pressure cap and the guide flange. This causes the first and second fluororubber O-rings to deform, thereby sealing the gap between the moving rod and the guide flange. A motor can be connected to one end of the moving rod near the water inlet assembly, enabling movement under vacuum. The pressure cap has conical ends, and the guide flange serves as the sealing structure. The carrier, the surface of the moving rod must be smooth (roughness Ra0.8), and its outer diameter must fit well with the inner diameter of the graphite sleeve, ensuring a clearance within 0-0.02mm. Simultaneously, the inner diameters of the first and second fluororubber O-rings must be interference-fitted with the moving rod, with an inner diameter deformation range of 15%-20%. The contact surfaces between the moving rod and the first and second fluororubber O-rings must be smooth. The water inlet assembly is used to introduce water into the moving rod, and the water return assembly is used to return water to the moving rod. The sealing guide assembly can be positioned and moved under vacuum conditions and also has a certain self-locking function. It has a compact structure and high cost-effectiveness. This sealing structure allows for adjustment of the shielding block's movement via a remote control system connected to the motor during normal accelerator operation without causing a decrease in the overall equipment vacuum, ensuring stable operation of the entire accelerator under vacuum conditions.

Then, the graphite sleeve 2 is installed onto the guide flange 6. Finally, the pressure cap 7 is placed over the graphite sleeve 2, and the hexagonal head bolts 8 are tightened to fix the pressure cap 7 and the guide flange 6. This causes the first fluororubber O-ring 3 and the second fluororubber O-ring 4 to deform, thereby sealing the gap between the moving rod 1 and the guide flange 6. The end of the moving rod 1 near the water inlet assembly can be connected to a motor, enabling movement under vacuum.

The contact surfaces between the moving rod 1 and the first and second fluororubber O-rings 3 and 4 must be smooth. The water inlet assembly is used to introduce water into the moving rod 1, and the water return assembly is used to return water to the moving rod 1. The sealing guide assembly can be positioned and moved under vacuum conditions and also has a certain self-locking function. It has a compact structure and high cost-effectiveness. This sealing structure allows the movement of the shielding block to be adjusted via a remote control system connected to the motor during normal accelerator operation without causing a decrease in the overall equipment vacuum, ensuring stable operation of the entire accelerator under vacuum conditions.
