[0001] This utility model relates to the field of superconducting magnet cooling technology, and in particular to a liquid helium-free superconducting magnet cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] A liquid helium-free superconducting magnet is a magnet device that can achieve a superconducting state without using liquid helium as a cooling medium.

[0003] Superconducting materials exhibit superconducting properties only at specific low temperatures. Cooling devices can provide and maintain such a low-temperature environment for superconducting magnets, ensuring that the superconducting materials retain their superconducting properties, thereby enabling the magnets to generate strong magnetic fields without energy loss.

[0004] An existing liquid helium-free superconducting magnet cooling device requires maintaining a high vacuum state inside the magnet container to reduce heat conduction and convection. However, during installation and operation, components such as the cold head and the cold conductor may experience positional deviations, which reduces the docking accuracy between the cold head and the cold conductor, leading to a decrease in vacuum and increasing the burden on the refrigerator. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a liquid helium-free superconducting magnet cooling device, which aims to solve the problem that existing liquid helium-free superconducting magnet cooling devices may experience positional deviations during installation and operation, resulting in reduced docking accuracy between the cold head and the cooling seat, leading to a decrease in vacuum and an increase in the burden on the refrigerator.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A liquid helium-free superconducting magnet cooling device includes a mounting plate. A magnet container body is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate. A slider is fixedly mounted at the output end of the electric push rod.

[0009] Preferably, a hollow column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, a connecting column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column, and the outer wall of the connecting column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column, a limiting strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate, and the outer wall of the limiting strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column.

[0011] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide, and the upper surface of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the hollow column.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the slider is pushed and pulled by the electric push rod, which causes the slider to drive the sealing plate to slide.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a liquid helium-free superconducting magnet cooling device, comprising a mounting plate 1, a magnet container body 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1, an electric push rod 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 1, a slider 3 fixedly mounted at the output end of the electric push rod 2, a slide bar 4 slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 3, the upper surface of the slide bar 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the magnet container body 9, and a sealing plate 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 3, the outer wall of the sealing plate 5 slidably connected to the inner wall of the magnet container body 9, for sealing. A fixed column 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the disk 5, a connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slider 3, a rotating ring 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 7, and the inner wall of the rotating ring 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the magnet container body 9. A sealing assembly is provided on the inner wall of the sealing disk 5. The sealing assembly is used to maintain the vacuum environment of the equipment. The sealing assembly includes a sealing strip 11. The outer wall of the sealing strip 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing disk 5. A sealing groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing disk 5. The inner wall of the sealing groove 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sealing strip 11.

[0026] Specifically, the electric push rod 2 fixed by the mounting plate 1 pushes the slider 3, causing the slider 3 to slide inside the slide bar 4, fixing the slide bar 4 to the inner wall of the magnet container body 9, thus preventing the slider 3 from falling off. The slider 3 drives the connecting rod 7 to slide, causing the connecting rod 7 to drive the rotating ring 8 to rotate on the inner wall of the magnet container body 9, enabling the slider 3 to achieve a linkage and centering effect. The slider 3 drives the sealing plate 5 to slide on the inner wall of the magnet container body 9, causing the sealing groove 10 and the sealing strip 11 to align with each other, achieving a sealing effect. The sealing plate 5 drives the fixing column 6 to slide, which can not only limit the sealing plate 5 during use, but also internally support and fix the cold head of the refrigerator, the cold guide seat and other components. At the same time, it can improve the alignment accuracy between the cold head of the refrigerator and the superconducting magnet, maintain the vacuum around the magnet, keep the magnet in a low thermal conductivity environment, maintain a low temperature state, and reduce the cooling load of the refrigerator.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A hollow column 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1. A connecting column 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 12. The outer wall of the connecting column 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1. A sliding plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 13. A limit strip 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate 14. The outer wall of the limit strip 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 12. A spring 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 14. The upper surface of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the hollow column 12. The inner wall of the hollow column 12 is provided with... The inner wall of the limiting groove 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting strip 15. The upper surface of the connecting column 13 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 22. The outer wall of the fixing block 22 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 18. The inner wall of the first rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the support strip 19. The outer wall of the support strip 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1. The outer wall of the support strip 19 is fixedly connected to the locking block 20. The outer wall of the support strip 19 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 21. The inner wall of the second rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hollow column 12.

[0028] Specifically, the hollow column 12 fixed to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1 allows the connecting column 13 to slide stably with a limiting effect. The connecting column 13 drives the sliding plate 14 to slide, causing the limiting strip 15 fixed to the outer wall of the sliding plate 14 to slide on the inner wall of the hollow column 12. The limiting strip 15 can slide through the hollow column 12 to the inner wall of the limiting groove 17. During use, the connecting column 13 has a self-locking effect. The spring 16 pushes the sliding plate 14, allowing the sliding plate 14 to automatically reset. The connecting column 13 drives the fixed block 22 to slide, allowing the fixed block 22 to push the first rotating rod 1. The first rotating rod 18 drives the support bar 19 to slide on the inner wall of the mounting plate 1, allowing the locking block 20 to be quickly installed and removed during use. The second rotating rod 21, which rotates on the outer wall of the hollow column 12, pulls the support bar 19, preventing it from falling off during use. The locking block 20 enables quick installation and removal of the cold head equipment, facilitating maintenance and replacement. This not only shortens maintenance time but also reduces operational difficulty, improves equipment performance and efficiency, and protects the performance and stability of the superconducting magnet.

[0029] Working principle: When the device is needed, pressing the connecting column 13 causes the sliding plate 14 to slide the limiting strip 15 against the inner wall of the hollow column 12. After sliding to the appropriate position, rotating the connecting column 13 causes the limiting strip 15 to slide against the inner wall of the limiting groove 17, achieving a self-locking effect. Then, the fixing block 22 drives the first rotating rod 18 to rotate, causing the first rotating rod 18 to push the support strip 19, allowing the locking block 20 to quickly fix the cold head device. The second rotating rod 21, which rotates on the outer wall of the hollow column 12, pulls the support strip 19, allowing the support strip 19 to slide against the inner wall of the mounting plate 1 while preventing it from falling off. The locking block 20 enables quick installation and disassembly of the cold head device, facilitating maintenance and replacement of the cold head device. This not only shortens maintenance time but also reduces operational difficulty, improves the performance and efficiency of the equipment, and protects the performance and stability of the superconducting magnet. The electric push rod 2 is activated, causing the slider 3 to slide on the inner wall of the slide bar 4. This allows the slider 3 to stably drive the sealing disc 5 to slide, preventing the sealing disc 5 from falling off. The slider 3 drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating ring 8 to rotate, enabling the slider 3 to achieve a linkage and centering effect. The fixing column 6 fixed to the inner wall of the sealing disc 5 not only limits the sealing disc 5 during use but also provides internal support to fix the cold head equipment and prevent it from shifting. The sealing groove 10 and sealing strip 11 set on the inner wall of the sealing disc 5 provide a sealing effect when the sealing disc 5 is closed. When the cold head equipment needs to be replaced, closing the sealing disc 5 not only reduces the heat transfer caused by air conduction but also maintains the vacuum around the magnet, keeping the magnet in a low thermal conductivity environment, maintaining a low temperature, and reducing the cooling load of the refrigeration unit.
