Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-end medical device technology, and in particular to a temperature control simulation device. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, key components of a proton accelerator, such as the magnets and radio frequency cavity, generate a significant amount of heat. Failure to dissipate this heat in a timely manner can lead to overheating, affecting performance and even causing damage. Therefore, a water-cooling system is necessary, using circulating cooling water to ensure the equipment operates at a suitable temperature.
[0003] Specifically, the water-cooling system first consists of a subsystem composed of components such as a heat exchanger and a water container. Then, corresponding heat-generating components are connected, such as a superconducting magnet compressor, the inner conductor and outer conductor of the radio frequency (RF) system, the rotating capacitor of the RF system, the magnet power supply system, the scanning magnet, and the RF system amplifier, along with matching connecting pipes and valves, ultimately forming a complete water-cooling system. During operation, the water-cooling system requires cooling these components. In existing technologies, when the water-cooling system is in a subsystem state without the aforementioned heat-generating components connected, it is impossible to debug critical components such as the heat exchanger; debugging can only begin after the entire system is fully installed, impacting debugging and production efficiency.

A heating tube typically consists of a metal tube (such as stainless steel or copper), a spiral resistance wire (such as nickel-chromium or iron-chromium alloy wire), and a filler with good thermal conductivity and insulation properties (such as crystalline magnesium oxide powder). The resistance wire is uniformly distributed inside the metal tube. When current passes through the resistance wire, the generated heat diffuses to the surface of the metal tube and is ultimately transferred to the cooling water.

The fifth temperature measuring element 35 and the sixth temperature measuring element 36 are used to detect the cooling water temperature in the third pipe 31 at the inlet and outlet sides of the third heating element 32, respectively.

A temperature probe is a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal; it is the core component of a temperature measuring instrument. The temperature probe is located at the top of a specific device and typically uses a fast miniature thermocouple, realizing the conversion of a non-electrical signal (temperature) into an electrical signal.

The hardware includes a processor, display screen 5, input units (such as a touchscreen, keyboard, mouse, etc.), communication interfaces, and data storage units. The software provides a graphical interface and interactive functions, enabling users to interact with the machine graphically to perform control, monitoring, and operation functions.
[0064] In this embodiment, the display screen 5 can display the flow data detected by the first flow detection element 13, the second flow detection element 23 and the third flow detection element 33, the pressure data detected by the first pressure detection element 14, the second pressure detection element 24 and the third pressure detection element 34, and the temperature data detected by the first temperature measuring element 15, the second temperature measuring element 16, the third temperature measuring element 25, the fourth temperature measuring element 26, the fifth temperature measuring element 35 and the sixth temperature measuring element 36.
[0065] Furthermore, the display screen 5 has an interactive operation area, which is communicatively connected to the first heating element 12, the second heating element 22, and the third heating element 32. The interactive operation area allows input of the heating time and temperature of the first heating element 12, the second heating element 22, and the third heating element 32, accurately simulating the actual heating time and temperature of the simulated object during operation. This ensures that the heat output of the first heating element exceeds that of the second and third heating elements, more accurately simulating the conditions faced by the water-cooling subsystem during actual operation, accelerating the debugging efficiency of the water-cooling subsystem, and avoiding damage to the heat-generating components that require cooling during debugging. The simulated objects include the aforementioned superconducting magnet compressor, the inner conductor of the radio frequency system, the outer conductor of the radio frequency system, the rotating capacitor of the radio frequency system, the magnet power supply system, the scanning magnet, and the radio frequency system amplifier, etc.
[0066] For example, the bottom of the housing 4 is provided with multiple omnidirectional casters. The omnidirectional casters facilitate the convenient and quick movement of the entire temperature control simulation device.
[0067] By way of example, the use of the temperature control simulation device is described below with reference to an alternative implementation.
[0068] The table below shows the operating parameters of the first heating element 12, the second heating element 22, and the third heating element 32.

[0070] The first inlet 111 is connected to the first outlet 612, the first outlet 112 is connected to the second inlet 613, the second inlet 211 is connected to the third outlet 622, the second outlet 212 is connected to the fourth inlet 623, the third inlet 311 is connected to the fifth outlet 632, and the third outlet 312 is connected to the sixth inlet 633. This forms a first closed-loop water circuit between the water container 7, the first heat exchanger 61, and the first pipe 11; a second closed-loop water circuit between the water container 7, the second heat exchanger 62, and the second pipe 21; and a third closed-loop water circuit between the water container 7, the third heat exchanger 63, and the third pipe 31.
[0071] The HMI (Hydraulic Interface) allows for real-time monitoring of the flow rate and pressure of cooling water in the first pipe 11, the second pipe 21, and the third pipe 31. It also monitors the cooling water temperature in the first pipe 11 (inlet and outlet sides of the first heating element 12), the second pipe 21 (inlet and outlet sides of the second heating element 22), and the third pipe 31 (inlet and outlet sides of the third heating element 32). By analyzing the proton accelerator's temperature curve, the system simulates the heat, water pressure, and flow conditions generated by the proton accelerator under standby and high-intensity beam output conditions. Simultaneously, the HMI adjusts the flow rate in the first pipe 11 in real-time. This method can verify whether the entire water-cooling subsystem can provide normal cooling after being connected to the entire proton system, and whether its cooling capacity, water flow rate, and water pressure meet the standards.
[0072] For example, the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 are started, and the target display temperature of the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 is set to 20℃. After the actual temperature displayed by the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 stabilizes at 20℃, the temperature control simulation device is turned on. The first heating element 12, the second heating element 22, and the third heating element 32 start to work at full power. The temperature control simulation device outputs hot water. As the hot water enters each water tank, the actual temperature displayed by the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 rises synchronously. The actuator valves of the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 open wide, and a large amount of primary-side process cold water enters. Once the water temperature on the outlet side reaches the set value, the temperature control simulation device enters a stable heating state. At this time, the actuator valves of the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 will open slightly and enter a stable state. After a few minutes, it is confirmed that the actual temperature of the first heat exchanger 61, the second heat exchanger 62, and the third heat exchanger 63 is stable at 20℃.
