[0002] The window of the stellarator mainly provides a passage for auxiliary systems of the stellarator, such as a diagnostic system and a heating system. One end of the window is connected to a vacuum chamber, and the other end is connected to a dewar. The temperature of the vacuum chamber can reach 200 DEG C during operation and baking, and the temperature of the dewar is normal. A stellarator magnet is located between the vacuum chamber and the dewar. The commonly used window is a double-layer structure like a tokamak.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0032] This invention provides a window for a stellarator, such as... Figure 1As shown, the stellarator includes a vacuum chamber 10 and a Dewar jar 20, with an annular cavity 30 formed between the vacuum chamber 10 and the Dewar jar 20. A window 40 is provided within the annular cavity 30. It should be noted that the stellarator magnet ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) is located in the annular cavity 30.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, window 40 includes: a cylinder 100 and a cooling section. The cylinder 100 is a single-layer structure and includes sections along its length ( Figure 2 The first part 110, the second part 120, and the third part 130 are sequentially fixedly connected in direction A in the diagram, meaning that the first part 110, the second part 120, and the third part 130 are all cylindrical structures. The end of the first part 110 furthest from the second part 120 (i.e.,...) Figure 2 The left end of the first part 110 is used for fixed connection with the wall of the vacuum chamber, and the end of the third part 130 away from the second part 120 (i.e. Figure 2 The right end of the third part 130 is used to fix it to the wall of the Dewar can. Both the first part 110 and the third part 130 are set as rigid cylindrical structures, that is, both the first part 110 and the third part 130 are rigid tubes with high strength, low deformation and impact resistance. The second part 120 is set as a corrugated cylindrical structure, that is, the second part 120 is a corrugated tube, which can expand and bend within a certain range. The cooling part is fixed to the inside of the first part 110.
[0034] It should be noted that the fixed connection methods include, but are not limited to, welding, bonding, and threaded connections. During installation, the first part 110 and the third part 130 can be fixedly connected to the walls of the vacuum chamber and the Dewar jar, respectively, before the second part 120 is connected to the first part 110 and the third part 130. The cooling section is used to cool the first part 110 of the cylinder 100. The cooling section can be a cooling pipe fixed inside the first part 110, with the entire cavity of the cooling pipe used for the flow of cooling medium; the cooling section can also be a sleeve fixed inside the first part 110, with a channel provided in the sleeve wall for the flow of cooling medium; the cooling section can also be other structures that can be used to cool the first part 110. The cooling medium can be liquids such as cooling water and liquid nitrogen.
[0035] Specifically, the cylindrical body 100 of window 40 is configured as a single-layer cylindrical structure. Compared to a double-layer structure, this increases the internal space of the cylindrical body 100, maximizing the utilization of window 40 and providing sufficient space for subsequent auxiliary systems such as heating and diagnostic systems. The cylindrical body 100 includes a first part 110, a second part 120, and a third part 130 sequentially fixedly connected along its length. A cooling section is provided inside the first part 110 to cool window 40, achieving active cooling to reduce the temperature of window 40 and decrease the thermal load on the superconducting magnet. Furthermore, the second part 120 of the cylindrical body 100 is configured as a corrugated cylindrical structure, capable of expansion, contraction, and bending within a certain range, accommodating the relative movement between the Dewar jar and the vacuum chamber during operation.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooling section is a cooling bushing 200, which is sleeved on the inner side of the first part 110. That is, the cooling bushing 200 has a cylindrical structure. The two ends of the cooling bushing 200 extend to the two ends of the first part 110 along its length direction. A cooling channel 210 is formed inside the peripheral wall of the cooling bushing 200, which is used for the flow of cooling medium.
[0037] Specifically, the length direction of the cooling bushing 200, the length direction of the first portion 110, and the length direction of the cylinder 100 are parallel. A cooling channel 210 is formed inside the peripheral wall of the cooling bushing 200, and the temperature of the first portion 110 of the window 40 is actively reduced by circulating a cooling medium in the cooling channel 210, thereby reducing the thermal load on the superconducting magnet.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooling channel 210 extends in an S-shape within the peripheral wall of the cooling bushing 200. This not only increases the length of the cooling channel 210 and improves cooling efficiency, but also allows the cooling medium to be distributed more evenly across the peripheral wall of the cooling bushing 200, improving cooling uniformity. The cooling channel 210 has a channel inlet 211 and a channel outlet 212. The channel inlet 211 is located at the lowest point in the direction of gravity of the cooling bushing 200, and the channel outlet 212 is located at the highest point in the direction of gravity of the cooling bushing 200. This forms a bottom-in, top-out structure. The cooling medium, propelled by external force (e.g., pump thrust), flows from the lowest channel inlet 211 along the extension direction of the cooling channel 210 and exits from the highest channel outlet 212. During the flow of the cooling medium, its own gravity allows it to fill the entire cooling channel 210, increasing the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling medium and the cooling bushing 200 and improving the cooling effect.
[0039] It should be noted that "channel inlet 211 is located at the lowest point in the direction of gravity of cooling bushing 200" means that after window 40 is installed between vacuum chamber and Dewar jar, channel inlet 211 is located at the lowest point of the entire cooling channel 210 along the direction of gravity of cooling bushing 200. Similarly, "channel outlet 212 is located at the highest point in the direction of gravity of cooling bushing 200" means that after window 40 is installed between vacuum chamber and Dewar jar, channel outlet 212 is located at the highest point of the entire cooling channel 210 along the direction of gravity of cooling bushing 200. Figure 5 As shown, if the axial direction of the cooling bushing 200 after installation (i.e., the length direction of the cooling bushing 200), Figure 5 The direction A in the figure is parallel to the horizontal direction, and the direction of gravity of the cooling bushing 200 is the vertical direction. Figure 5 (in the C direction).
[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cooling channel 210 forms two cooling sub-channels after the channel inlet 211, and the two cooling sub-channels converge at the channel outlet 212. In this way, the cooling medium flows in from the channel inlet 211 and is divided into two paths, which can increase the flow rate of the cooling medium in the cooling channel 210, improve the cooling efficiency, and provide redundancy. If one cooling sub-channel is blocked, the other cooling sub-channel can still maintain basic cooling, thus improving reliability.
[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, more cooling sub-channels can be formed after the channel inlet 211, such as 3 or 4.
[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cooling bushing 200 is detachably secured to the inside of the first part 110 by a connecting assembly; the connecting assembly includes components in the circumferential direction of the cooling bushing 200. Figure 3 Multiple connecting portions 300 are spaced apart in the B direction of the cooling bushing 200 and the length direction of the cooling bushing 200. Each connecting portion 300 is fixedly connected between the peripheral wall of the cooling bushing 200 and the cylinder wall of the first part 110, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110 of the cylinder 100, and at the same time facilitate the disassembly of the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110.
[0043] Specifically, each connecting part 300 can be a matching bolt or screw structure, or a screw structure, or a matching slot and protrusion structure, or other structures that enable a detachable connection between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110. For example, each connecting part 300 can be a screw structure, where the screw passes through the sleeve wall of the cooling bushing 200 along its thickness direction from its inside and is inserted into the cylinder wall of the first part 110 to achieve a detachable connection (i.e., threaded connection) between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110. Another example is that each connecting part 300 can be a matching slot and protrusion structure, where the slot and protrusion are respectively fixed to the inner wall surface of the cylinder wall of the first part 110 and the outer wall surface of the sleeve wall of the cooling bushing 200, achieving a detachable connection (i.e., snap-fit) between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110 through the snap-fit of the slot and protrusion.
[0044] It should be noted that the spacing and number of the multiple connecting parts 300 in the circumferential and longitudinal directions of the cooling bushing 200 are not specifically limited in this embodiment. They can be set according to actual needs, as long as they are sufficient to ensure the stability of the connection between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110 of the cylinder 100.
[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, each connecting part 300 includes: a first pad 310, a second pad 320, and a threaded connector 330. The first pad 310 is fixed to the inner wall surface of the cylinder wall of the first part 110. The cooling bushing 200 has a threaded hole along its radial direction (i.e., the thickness direction of the cooling bushing 200). The second pad 320 is located inside the cooling bushing 200. One end of the threaded connector 330 passes through the second pad 320 and the threaded hole in sequence, and then is inserted into the first pad 310. The first pad 310 abuts between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110. The second pad 320 abuts between the other end of the threaded connector 330 and the cooling bushing 200. This not only achieves a detachable connection between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110, but also avoids damage to the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110 caused by localized concentrated stress.
[0046] Specifically, the first pad 310 can be made of stainless steel, and as... Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the first pad 310 (the cross-section perpendicular to the length direction of the first portion 110) is wedge-shaped. The threaded connector 330 refers to a connector with external threads, such as a screw. When the threaded connector 330 is a screw, the second pad 320 is adapted to the shape of the screw head and can abut between the screw head and the cooling bushing 200.
[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown, the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall of the cooling bushing 200 is provided with a groove 340 that matches the first pad 310, and the first pad 310 abuts against the groove 340 of the cooling bushing 200. When the cooling bushing 200 is fixed to the inner side of the first part 110, rotation between the two can be prevented, and the length of the threaded connector 330 inserted into the first pad 310 can be increased to ensure the stability of the connection between the cooling bushing 200 and the first part 110. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the groove 340 (the cross-section perpendicular to the length direction of the cooling bushing 200) is also wedge-shaped.
[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, window 40 also includes flange 400 and cover plate 500, flange 400 being fixed to the end of third part 130 away from second part 120 (i.e. Figure 2 (right end), cover plate 500 is fixed to the side of flange 400 away from the third part 130 (i.e. Figure 2 (On the right side of the image), flange 400 and cover plate 500 are used for mounting on the exterior of the Dewar flask. Specifically, the flange 400 and cover plate 500 can be fixed in the following ways: Figure 1 The bolt and nut connection shown can also be another type of fixed connection, such as welding or snap-fit. Window 40 also includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe (not shown in the figure). One end of the inlet pipe is connected to the channel inlet 211 of the cooling channel 210 in the cooling bushing 200, and one end of the outlet pipe is connected to the channel outlet 212. The other ends of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe extend through the flange 400 and the cover plate 500 to the outside of the cover plate 500 for connection to the tank (not shown in the figure) storing the cooling medium.
[0049] By providing flange 400 and cover plate 500 on the outside of the Dewar tank, it is possible to facilitate the connection of window 40 with external auxiliary systems, storage tanks for cooling media, etc. Example 2
[0050] This utility model also provides a stellarator, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a vacuum chamber 10, a Dewar jar 20, and a window 40 for a stellarator as described in Embodiment 1. An annular cavity 30 is formed between the vacuum chamber 10 and the Dewar jar 20, and the window 40 is disposed in the annular cavity 30. A first through hole is provided on the wall of the vacuum chamber 10, and a second through hole is provided on the wall of the Dewar jar 20. The first part of the window 40, with one end away from the second part, passes through the first through hole and is fixedly connected to the wall of the vacuum chamber 10. The third part, with one end away from the second part, passes through the second through hole and is fixedly connected to the wall of the Dewar jar 20.
[0051] Specifically, the vacuum chamber 10 and the Dewar jar 20 are connected through window 40. Window 40 is a single-layer cylindrical structure, which, compared to a double-layer structure, maximizes the utilization of window 40 and provides sufficient space for subsequent auxiliary systems such as heating and diagnostic systems. A cooling unit is located inside the first part to cool the first section of window 40, enabling window 40 to have its own cooling function. This active cooling method reduces the temperature of window 40 and decreases the thermal load on the superconducting magnet. Furthermore, window 40 incorporates a corrugated cylindrical structure, allowing it to expand, contract, and bend within a certain range, accommodating the relative movement between the Dewar jar 20 and the vacuum chamber 10 during operation.
