Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of quench pipeline systems, specifically to a combined quench pipeline horizontal outlet structure. Background Technology
[0002] The superconducting state of the coils in a superconducting magnetic resonance magnet is maintained by liquid helium, which has a temperature of -269°C. In an emergency, there is a possibility of quench failure. The liquid helium, which is filled with liquid helium at a temperature of -269°C, will expand into a gaseous state at a volume ratio of 1:739. The expanded gaseous helium needs to be vented outdoors through a quench failure pipeline system.
[0003] In related technologies, superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quench tubes primarily employ two directional outlet configurations: vertical and horizontal. Currently, regardless of whether the outlet is vertical or horizontal, its structure extends beyond the building wall or roof, making it susceptible to weathering, snow accumulation, and other factors. This can lead to damage to the quench tube outlet structure or loosening of the flange connections, preventing the timely or smooth escape of gaseous helium and increasing the risk of quenching. Furthermore, the structure's lack of flush alignment with the wall surface results in an uncoordinated overall appearance of the building, compromising its aesthetics.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a combined quench pipe horizontal outlet structure to ensure the stability of the outlet structure, the normal and smooth discharge of gaseous helium, and a simple appearance that is well coordinated with the wall. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined quench pipe horizontal outlet structure to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A combined quench pipe horizontal outlet structure, penetrating the main wall and curtain wall, includes:
[0008] The export process, both before and after;
[0009] The front section of the exit includes a first frame, and the rear section of the exit includes a second frame. The first frame and the second frame are connected on one side, and the other side of the second frame is connected to the curtain wall.
[0010] A bend is provided at the top of the first frame, and the bend is connected to the quench pipe.
[0011] The combined quench pipe horizontal outlet structure of this scheme has at least the following technical advantages:
[0012] This combined quench tube horizontal outlet structure, by penetrating the main wall and curtain wall, utilizes the connection between the front end of the outlet and the quench tube, and the connection between the rear end and the curtain wall, to effectively discharge the gaseous helium expanded by the quench pipeline system to the outside. Compared with the traditional structure where the horizontal outlet extends out of the wall, it can effectively prevent external wind and rain erosion or snow accumulation, avoid loosening or damage at the quench tube flange connection, ensure the long-term stable operation of the quench pipeline, prevent the leakage of harmful gases, greatly improve the safety during quenching of MRI, and meet the design technical specifications of superconducting magnetic resonance quench tube pipeline systems. Furthermore, this structure fits tightly with the external curtain wall, improving the coordination and aesthetics with the wall surface. At the same time, this structure can be constructed entirely indoors, without the need for outdoor high-altitude operations, effectively ensuring personal safety during installation and reducing installation costs.
[0013] As a further improvement of this invention, the rear section of the outlet also includes a protective window.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the top and bottom of the protective window are respectively provided with eaves, the inner side of the eaves abuts against the outer side of the curtain wall, and the other side of the protective window extends to the inner side of the curtain wall and connects with the second frame.
[0015] Because the rear section of the exit also includes a protective window; the top and bottom of the protective window are respectively provided with eaves, the inner side of the eaves abuts against the outer side of the curtain wall, and the other side of the protective window extends to the inner side of the curtain wall and connects with the second frame, the protective window can be effectively fixed to the curtain wall, preventing the structure from protruding from the wall surface, ensuring the stability and reliability of the horizontal exit structure, and the protective window fits tightly with the curtain wall, improving the coordination and aesthetics of the structure with the wall surface.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, a protective net is provided inside the second frame.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mesh diameter of the protective net is 8mm-12mm.
[0018] By installing a protective net inside the second frame, with a mesh diameter of 8mm-12mm (preferably 10mm), insects, birds, and other animals can be effectively prevented from entering the quench tube, thus preventing blockage and avoiding safety hazards caused by blockage. This effectively improves the safety of the quench tube, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures the smooth discharge of high-pressure gaseous helium.
[0019] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the height of the bottom of the second frame near the curtain wall is lower than the height of the bottom of the second frame near the first frame.
[0020] Because the bottom of the second frame is lower than the side of the curtain wall, which is closer to the first frame, the bottom of the second frame has a certain inclination. This effectively prevents condensation, rainwater, and snow from entering through the gaps in the protective window and accumulating at the bottom of the second frame. It also effectively guides water flow to drain along the inclination, preventing water from entering the quench pipe and causing corrosion, thus ensuring the safety and service life of the quench pipe.
[0021] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a mounting ear is provided on one side of the second frame, and the second frame is connected to the main wall through the mounting ear.
[0022] By installing mounting ears on one side of the second frame, the second frame is connected to the main wall through the mounting ears, which can effectively increase the connection stability between the second frame and the main wall, prevent the second frame from vibrating or shaking when gaseous helium is discharged, ensure smooth discharge of gaseous helium, and guarantee the stable operation of the quench pipe system.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a combined quench pipe horizontal outlet structure is installed in the main wall 1 and the curtain wall 2, including: an outlet front section 3 and an outlet rear section 4; the outlet front section 3 includes a first frame 31, and the outlet rear section 4 includes a second frame 41. The first frame 31 and the second frame 41 are connected on one side, and the other side of the second frame 41 is connected to the curtain wall 2; a bend 32 is provided on the top of the first frame 31, and the bend 32 is connected to the quench pipe 5.
[0037] Specifically, this combined quench pipe horizontal outlet structure passes through the main wall 1 and the curtain wall 2, connecting the quench pipe 5 via the front outlet section 3 and the curtain wall 2 via the rear outlet section 4. This effectively allows the gaseous helium from the expanded quench pipe system to be discharged outdoors. Compared to traditional structures where the horizontal outlet extends out of the wall, this structure effectively prevents external wind and rain erosion or snow accumulation, avoids loosening or damage at the flange connection of the quench pipe 5, ensures the long-term stable operation of the quench pipe, prevents the leakage of harmful gases, greatly improves the safety during quenching of MRI, and meets the design technical specifications for superconducting magnetic resonance quench pipe systems. Furthermore, this structure fits tightly with the external curtain wall 2, improving its coordination and aesthetics with the wall surface. At the same time, this structure can be constructed entirely indoors, eliminating the need for outdoor high-altitude work, effectively ensuring personal safety during installation, and reducing installation costs.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear section 4 of the exit also includes a protective window 42; the top and bottom of the protective window 42 are respectively provided with eaves 421, the inner side of the eaves 421 abuts against the outer side of the curtain wall 2, and the other side of the protective window 42 extends to the inner side of the curtain wall 2 and connects with the second frame 41.
[0039] Specifically, the rear section 4 of the exit also includes a protective window 42; the top and bottom of the protective window 42 are respectively provided with eaves 421, the inner side of the eaves 421 abuts against the outer side of the curtain wall 2, and the other side of the protective window 42 extends to the inner side of the curtain wall 2 and connects with the second frame 41. This can effectively fix the protective window 42 to the curtain wall 2, prevent the structure from protruding from the wall surface, ensure the stability and reliability of the horizontal exit structure, and the protective window 42 fits tightly with the curtain wall 2, improving the coordination and aesthetics of the structure with the wall surface.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a protective net 43 is provided inside the second frame 41; the mesh diameter of the protective net 43 is 8mm-12mm.
[0041] Specifically, by providing a protective net 43 inside the second frame 41, with a mesh diameter of 8mm-12mm, preferably 10mm, the protective net 43 can effectively prevent insects, birds and other animals from entering the quench tube 5, prevent the quench tube 5 from becoming blocked, avoid safety hazards caused by blockage of the quench tube 5, effectively improve the safety of the quench tube 5, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the smooth discharge of high-pressure gaseous helium.
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the height of the bottom of the second frame 41 near the curtain wall 2 is lower than the height of the bottom of the second frame 41 near the first frame 31.
[0043] Specifically, because the height of the bottom of the second frame 41 near the curtain wall 2 is lower than the height of the bottom of the second frame 41 near the first frame 31, the bottom of the second frame 41 has a certain inclination. This can effectively prevent condensation, rainwater, and snow from entering through the gaps in the protective window 42 and accumulating at the bottom of the second frame 41. It can also effectively guide water flow to drain out along the inclination, preventing water from entering the quench pipe 5 and causing corrosion of the quench pipe 5, thus ensuring the safety and service life of the quench pipe 5.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting ear 44 is provided on one side of the second frame 41, and the second frame 41 is connected to the main wall 1 through the mounting ear 44.
[0045] Specifically, by providing mounting ears 44 on one side of the second frame 41, the second frame 41 is connected to the main wall 1 through the mounting ears 44. This can effectively increase the connection stability between the second frame 41 and the main wall 1, prevent the second frame 41 from vibrating or shaking when gaseous helium is discharged, ensure smooth discharge of gaseous helium, and guarantee the stable operation of the quench pipe system.
