[0027] The cold head container assembly 3 includes a cold head container seat 301, a first-level cold seat 303 and a second-level cold seat 306, the cold head container seat 301 is fixed with the Dewar diameter pipe 4, and the cold head container seat 301 and the first-level cold seat 303 below are connected through a first-level thin-walled pipe 302 and a first-level cold seat 303 brazing connection to ensure the structural strength and reduce heat leakage; the first-level cold seat 303 and the second-level cold seat 306 are sequentially connected with a second-level thin-walled pipe 304 and a flexible bellows 305, which can not only reduce heat leakage, but also ensure flexible displacement compensation during the axial cold contraction of the second-level thin-walled pipe 304, and the connection is stable, which ensures the strength of the second-level thin-walled pipe 304; more, the second-level thin-walled pipe 304 and the flexible bellows 305 are sealed and welded, and the connection ends of the two and the corresponding cold seat are sealed and welded by brazing.

[0028] A refrigerator assembly 1 is installed in the inner cavity of the cold head container assembly 3, and the two are fixed through a connecting seat assembly 2, the connecting seat assembly 2 includes a refrigerator connecting seat 204 matched and installed with the cold head container seat 301, and the two are connected through a plurality of connecting bolts 201, the connecting bolts 201 are provided with compression springs 202 outside the periphery to provide pre-tightening force, and O-rings 203 are arranged at the positions where the side walls of the cold head container seat 301 and the refrigerator connecting seat 204 are in contact to provide sealing;

[0029] The first-level cold head 101 of the refrigerator assembly 1 is conically contacted and matched with the first-level cold seat 303 through a first-level heat transfer block 102, and the second-level cold head 103 of the refrigerator assembly 1 is conically contacted and matched with the second-level cold seat 306 through a second-level heat transfer block assembly 104;

[0030] Specifically, the secondary heat transfer assembly 104 comprises a secondary cold head connecting block 1041 kept in abutment at the bottom of the secondary cold head 103, a plurality of connecting guide shafts 1043 are fixed at the bottom of the secondary cold head connecting block 1041, a secondary conical heat transfer block 1044 is slidably connected at the bottom of the plurality of connecting guide shafts 1043, and a secondary flexible spring 1048 is sleeved on the outer periphery of each connecting guide shaft 1043, the two ends of the secondary flexible spring 1048 are in abutment with the secondary conical heat transfer block 1044 and the secondary cold head connecting block 1041 respectively, so that the secondary conical heat transfer block 1044 is always in contact with the secondary cold seat 306; in addition, a flexible heat connection 1042 is arranged between the secondary conical heat transfer block 1044 and the secondary cold head connecting block 1041 to complete the cold source transmission, and a secondary cold head radiation shield 1045 is further arranged outside the secondary heat transfer block assembly 104.
