Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature plasma diagnostic technology, specifically to an adjustable system based on detector ion source calibration experiments. Background Technology
[0002] In high-temperature plasma, fast ions and neutral particles undergo charge exchange reactions to produce fast neutral particles. These fast neutral particles are not confined by a magnetic field and have a certain probability of escaping from the plasma before ionization. The neutral particle analyzer (NPA) is a diagnostic tool for measuring the energy spectrum of these escaped neutral particles.
[0003] In the field of fusion experimental research, NPA can serve as a diagnostic tool for ion temperature measurement, fast ion physics analysis, and fusion reactor fuel density ratio (D / T) measurement.
[0004] Before being used in device diagnostic experiments, the detectors in NPA need to be calibrated on an ion source platform with known energy. Due to the small sensitive area of the detectors, the ion source beam needs to be adjusted during the calibration experiment to align with the sensitive area of the detectors in order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an adjustable system to be used in detector ion source calibration experiments. Utility Model Content

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] In the prior art, the detector in NPA needs to be calibrated on an ion source platform with known energy before it can be used for experimental diagnosis of the device. Due to the small sensitive area of the detector, the ion source beam needs to be adjusted during the calibration experiment to align it with the sensitive area of the detector in order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment.
[0035] Based on this, this embodiment provides an adjustable system based on a detector ion source calibration experiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0036] Support structure 2, in this embodiment, support structure 2 is a support frame, and a placement space is formed in the middle of the support frame, which is used to support the adjustment structure.
[0037] The detection component, located on the right side of the support structure 2, is used to receive and generate signals;
[0038] An adjustment structure is installed on the support structure 2 and connected to the detection component to adjust the position of the detection component.
[0039] Furthermore, the adjustment structure includes an adjustable bellows 3, an adjustable screw 4, and a screw flange 5.
[0040] The adjustable bellows 3 is mounted on the support structure 2; specifically, the adjustable bellows 3 is hollow inside and located in the placement space. In this embodiment, the adjustable bellows 3 provides flexible support for the adjustable screw 4 and screw flange 5, and the adjustable bellows 3 can adapt to the movement of the screw flange 5. Specifically, the adjustable bellows 3 is a welded metal bellows 3. Specifically, the minimum length of the adjustable bellows 3 is 200mm, and the maximum length of the adjustable bellows 3 is 250mm. That is, the adjustment range of the adjustable bellows 3 is 50mm.
[0041] The screw flange 5 is installed at one end of the adjustable bellows 3 and is connected to the detection component. Specifically, the screw flange 5 is fixedly installed at the right end of the adjustable bellows 3 and is connected to the detection component, so that the detection component moves with the screw flange 5.
[0042] The adjustable screw 4 is rotatably mounted on the support structure 2, and the adjustable screw 4 is threadedly connected to the screw flange 5.
[0043] As can be seen, due to the small sensitive area of the detection component, an adjustment structure is set up in this embodiment to ensure the accuracy of the final calibration experiment. Specifically, the working process of the adjustment structure is as follows:
[0044] Rotating the adjustable screw 4, which is threadedly connected to the screw flange 5, allows the screw flange 5 to move smoothly upward under the constraint of the adjustable bellows 3. This, in turn, causes the connected detection component to move upward. In this embodiment, the screw flange 5 can move upward by approximately 10mm, with an adjustment accuracy of 1.75mm. This means that for every rotation of the adjustable screw 4, the screw flange 5 moves upward by 1.75mm.
[0045] Conversely, rotating the adjustable screw 4 in the opposite direction, the adjustable screw 4 is threadedly connected to the screw flange 5. Under the limiting influence of the adjustable bellows 3, the screw flange 5 moves smoothly downwards, thereby driving the connected detection component downwards. In this embodiment, the screw flange 5 can move downwards by approximately 10mm, with an adjustment accuracy of 1.75mm, meaning that for every rotation of the adjustable screw 4, the screw flange 5 moves downwards by 1.75mm.
[0046] Furthermore, both ends of the adjustable screw 4 are equipped with knobs. These knobs facilitate operation of the adjustable screw 4 by the operator.
[0047] Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a transition pipe 6, a vacuum flange 8, and a detector 7.
[0048] One end of the transition pipe 6 is connected to the screw flange 5; specifically, the length of the transition pipe 6 is 5cm, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the connection end between the transition pipe 6 and the screw flange 5 has a dimension of CF100, and the connection end between the transition pipe 6 and the vacuum flange 8 has a dimension of CF35. The screw flange 5 has a shaft hole for communication with the adjustable bellows 3, with a dimension of CF35, thereby ensuring that the beam particles from the ion source platform can pass through normally.
[0049] Specifically, the vacuum flange 8 is connected to the right end of the transition pipe 6 and is used for signal transmission of the vacuum detector 7; the vacuum flange 8 is CF35 with a thickness of 19mm.
[0050] The detector 7 is encapsulated within the transition pipe 6 and is used to receive and generate signals, and output signals through the vacuum flange 8.
[0051] Specifically, the working process of the detection component is as follows:
[0052] The detector 7 is installed in the vacuum transition pipe 6. After the beam particles from the ion source platform pass through the transition pipe 6, they bombard the detector 7 to deposit energy and generate a signal. During this process, the adjustable bellows 3 and the screw flange 5 always maintain a vacuum and keep connected to ensure the normal passage of the beam particles.
[0053] Furthermore, an ion source platform connecting flange 1 is provided at the end of the adjustable bellows 3 furthest from the screw flange 5 for connecting the ion source platform, facilitating subsequent calibration experiments. Specifically, the ion source platform connecting flange 1 is located at the left end of the adjustable bellows 3 and is a CF100 standard flange. The ion source platform connecting flange 1 is fixed to the support structure 2 with bolts, and the ion source platform connecting flange 1 and the adjustable bellows 3 are welded together with stainless steel, further ensuring the stability of the ion source platform connecting flange 1.
[0054] Furthermore, the support structure 2 is made of stainless steel, which ensures the rigidity and strength of the support structure 2.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] In existing technologies, neutral particle analyzers (NPAs) are diagnostic tools used to measure the energy spectrum of these escaping neutral particles. In the field of fusion experimental research, NPAs can serve as diagnostic tools for ion temperature measurement, fast ion physics analysis, and fusion reactor fuel density ratio (D / T) measurement. Traditional NPAs using electromagnetic field analysis are generally large in size and mass. Solid-state NPAs, which emerged at the beginning of this century, are much smaller than traditional NPAs; however, due to the poor radiation resistance of their silicon diode detectors, they have a short lifespan in environments with high neutron radiation. With the increase in auxiliary heating power and plasma parameters, the neutron radiation around fusion experimental devices is becoming increasingly intense, making solid-state NPAs increasingly unsuitable.
[0057] Therefore, in view of the technical problems of the traditional silicon diode detector 7 having poor radiation resistance and short lifespan in environments with strong neutron radiation, it is urgent to design a neutral particle energy spectrum analysis system based on other high-performance detectors 7 for application in high-temperature plasma diagnostic research.
[0058] In this regard, according to another embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the detector 7 is a diamond detector 7.
[0059] The diamond detector 7 is also a small-sized detector 7 with excellent radiation resistance, making it more suitable for use in the high-intensity neutron irradiation environment of fusion devices. In addition, the diamond detector 7 also has the advantages of low thermal noise, insensitivity to visible light, high upper limit of operating temperature, fast response speed, and insensitivity to gamma rays.
[0060] In this embodiment, the diamond detector 7 is a micronA-5710. The diamond in the sensitive area of the detector has a diameter of 2 mm and a thickness of 50 μm, and its surface is coated with a 50 nm titanium film electrode. The sensitive area of the diamond detector 7 is mm². 2 Diamond has the advantage of being radiation resistant, but its compact size requires high beam accuracy from the ion source.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the diamond detector 7 has a sensitive area of 2mm in diameter and the outer packaging of the detector 7 has a diameter of 12mm. The diamond detector 7 is encapsulated in the transition pipe 6 and outputs a signal through the vacuum flange 8.
[0062] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
