Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fusion reactor technology, and in particular to a fixing device for a circumferential magnetic field coil. Background Technology

[0002] The necessary condition for the operation of a magnetic confinement fusion device is the generation of magnetic fields in various directions, such as poloidal magnetic fields and circumferential magnetic fields. Taking the circumferential magnetic field as an example, its magnetic field strength can reach several Tesla or even tens of Tesla. This requires the coil that generates the circumferential magnetic field to have an extremely large current value, with a single-turn current reaching hundreds of kiloamperes or even several megaamperes.

[0003] The ultra-high current passing through the circumferential magnetic field coil generates a powerful magnetic field, as well as enormous forces and torques. This necessitates a sufficiently robust mounting system to ensure the structural safety and reliable operation. Furthermore, it is crucial to avoid circuit continuity between the mounting structures in the circumferential direction to prevent negative impacts on the plasma operation within the device.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a magnetic field coil fixing device that can maintain structural strength while increasing circumferential resistance. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a fixing device for a circumferential magnetic field coil. Some specific embodiments are described below. The fixing device for a circumferential magnetic field coil disclosed in this application includes multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1. Each circumferential magnetic field coil box 1 houses a corresponding circumferential magnetic field coil. The multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are arranged in a horizontal ring and assembled together to form a coil box group, that is, the circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are assembled 360° horizontally to form a whole. A circumferential insulating pad 2 is placed between the contact points of two adjacent circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 for insulation.

[0037] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, after assembly, to achieve fixation and increase the overall structural strength, in some specific embodiments, a first fixing structure 3 is installed at both ends of the coil box assembly. Specifically, the first fixing structure 3 includes a first insulating pad 301, a plurality of first insulating studs 302, and at least one layer of double semi-circular ring structure 303. The plurality of first insulating studs 302 pass through the double semi-circular ring structure 303 and the first insulating pad 301 and are connected one-to-one with the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the double semi-circular ring structure 303 has first insulating pads 301 on both sides facing away from the coil box assembly. The number of first insulating studs 302 in the same first fixing structure 3 is the same as the number of circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1. The first insulating studs 302 pass through the double semi-circular ring structure 303 and are threadedly connected to both ends of each circumferential magnetic field coil box 1. Specifically, the double semi-circular ring structure 303 uses two semicircles, thus fixing the ends of multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 connected to the same semicircle into a single unit. There is a gap between the two semicircles of the double semi-circular ring structure 303, allowing for movement and preventing installation problems due to slight positional deviations.

[0039] To ensure that the ends of all circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are fixed as a whole, a first fixing structure 3 includes multiple layers of double semi-circular ring structures 303, with the gaps between the two semicircles in adjacent layers of double semi-circular ring structures 303 staggered. Thus, after the upper and lower layers of double semi-circular ring structures 303 are installed at the ends of all circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 via first insulating studs 302, the circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 connected to the semicircles in the upper and lower layers of double semi-circular ring structures 303 are staggered, making the ends of all circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 connected as a whole.

[0040] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown, after fixing the ends of multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1, it is also necessary to fix the sides of multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1. In some specific embodiments, a second fixing structure 4 is installed between two adjacent circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1. Specifically, the second fixing structure 4 includes a second insulating pad 401, multiple second insulating studs 402, and at least one fixing plate 403. The fixing plate 403 has second insulating pads 401 on both sides facing and away from the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1. The multiple second insulating studs 402 are divided into two rows along the longitudinal direction, passing through the second insulating pads 401 and the fixing plate 403 respectively, and connecting to the outside of two adjacent circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1, thereby completing the side fixing of multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 and improving strength.

[0041] The top of the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1 is connected by a first fixing structure 3 to achieve circumferential force bearing and insulation; the top and bottom of the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1 are connected by a first fixing structure 3 to achieve circumferential insulation and resist the electromagnetic force of the magnet; the outer sides of the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1 are connected by a second fixing structure 4 to achieve circumferential insulation and resist the electromagnetic force of the magnet; this reduces the difficulty of installation and fixing in the structural design of the device and improves the structural safety and reliability of the device during operation.

[0042] like Figure 1-3As shown, more specifically, the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1 includes a first splicing body 101 and a second splicing body 102 symmetrically arranged at both ends, and an intermediate body 103 and an edge body 104 fixedly connected between the first splicing body 101 and the second splicing body 102. The first splicing body 101, the intermediate body 103, the second splicing body 102, and the edge body 104 are connected end to end longitudinally to form a longitudinal loop. After multiple circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are assembled in a ring, the first splicing body 101 and the second splicing body 102 can all be assembled into a circle, resulting in better overall structural integrity. The intermediate body 103 is a straight rod type, and the edge body 104 is a bent type. The first end of the intermediate body 103 extends beyond the first splicing body 101 in the direction facing the first splicing body 101, and the second end extends beyond the second splicing body 102 in the direction facing the second splicing body 102. The first insulating stud 302 is connected to the first end or the second end of the intermediate body 103 for greater convenience. The second assembly 102 is fixedly connected to a base support 5 on the side opposite to the first assembly 101. After all the circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are assembled and fixed, each base support 5 will support the entire device.

[0043] At least one connecting wing plate 105 is formed on each side of the edge body 104. The number of connecting wing plates 105 on both sides of the edge body 104 is equal and they correspond one-to-one. The second insulating stud 402 is threadedly connected to the connecting wing plate 105. In this specific embodiment, two connecting wing plates 105 are formed on each side of the edge body 104. The connecting wing plates 105 on both sides of the edge body 104 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the edge body 104 and correspond one-to-one on both sides. When assembling the circumferential magnetic field coil box 1, the connecting wing plates 105 of two adjacent circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are aligned, with a part of the circumferential insulating pad 2 in the middle. The two circumferential magnetic field coil boxes 1 are connected by two upper and lower second fixing structures 4, which provides higher strength.

[0044] Taking the 16-handled circumferential magnetic field coil box 1 as an example, it includes an independent 16-handled circumferential magnetic field coil box 1, a first fixing structure 3 at each end, and 32 sets of second fixing structures 4 on the outer circumferential direction (16 sets on the top and 16 sets on the bottom).

[0045] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the present invention are indicated by the following claims.

[0046] It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this invention is limited only by the appended claims.
