Description

A kind of superconducting magnet of NMR quenching protection device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of protective device for superconducting magnet quench, particularly for the not impaired protective device when quench of the superconducting magnet in the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system of highfield.
Background technology
Superconductor for superconducting magnet only could embody superconducting characteristic when meeting specified conditions (as temperature, magnetic field, current density).Once condition is destroyed, will there is quench in superconductor.The sub-fraction of superconductor is no longer superconducting state, and enters resistance states.Any electric current flowing through this active component all can cause local joule to be generated heat.This will cause the neighbouring part quench of this superconductor, and result forms larger resistance volume, and this causes again further joule heat.
The quench process of superconducting magnet is the electromagnetic energy thermotropism transformation of energy process be stored in superconductor.If heat energy evenly discharges in whole magnet after superconducting magnet quench, the temperature rise of hot spot caused is more much lower during the release of local in superconducting magnet than heat energy, therefore once detect in superconducting magnet and occur Signal of quench, the energy that should superconducting magnet be made as far as possible to store in whole magnet evenly release or by loop by its energy ezpenditure in external resistance.In fact the quench of superconducting magnet always from local, i.e. so-called some disturbance.The quench event of superconducting magnet has very large randomness, and quench propagation is very complicated physical process.
Highfield superconducting magnet of NMR refers generally to central magnetic field and is greater than 7T.Usually central field is called highfield nmr magnet higher than the nmr magnet of 7T.Highfield superconducting magnet of NMR, generally by organizing main coil and one group of bucking coil forms, often organizes coil winding on same coil rack more.Many groups main coil coaxially fits together from inside to outside, and bucking coil coaxial package is at the outermost layer of main coil.Have very strong electromagnetic coupled between each group of coil of highfield superconducting magnet of NMR, but each thermal coupling organized between coil is very poor.When highfield superconducting magnet of NMR runs, the energy storage density of its inside is very high.The most effective guard method is exactly avoid the heat be harmful to concentrate by expansion quench process, and heat is as far as possible evenly consumed in whole superconducting magnet.If superconducting magnet, after the locally generation quench of a certain coil, expands to whole superconducting magnet rapidly, cause whole quench, just mean that neither one part can reach dangerous temperature.
Highfield superconducting magnet of NMR is that the hot(test)-spot temperature after effectively reducing quench generally uses sectionalised protection.Highfield superconducting magnet of NMR forms by being separated from each other many group coil coaxial combination, between each group coil except electromagnetic coupled, do not have thermal coupling.Therefore in the middle of, a certain deactivation coil time-out may produce contiguous coil current and increases fast, the energy of its quench coil is quickly transferred in non-quench coil, the electromagnetic stress causing adjacent coils to produce increases fast, make one section of coil quench that the electric current increase of superconducting coil is higher, coil is burned because heat does not evenly discharge.Sharply raise to overcome this electric current, the mechanical instability of coil and heat is caused too to concentrate the problem burning out coil, make superconducting coil shift to an earlier date quench at each group of coil surface mounting heater, the energy even of superconducting magnet is released among whole superconducting magnet.
In traditional segmentation quench protection system, the heater that each group coil surface is installed is connected in a certain segmentation loop or certain several segmentation loop respectively.There is provided energy by the shunt current in segmentation loop to heater, make heater generate heat thus trigger corresponding coil quench.Because the appearance of quench has randomness, in each segmentation loop, occur that the time of shunt current and size can be different and have greatly changed with the coil that quench occurs at first.Therefore respectively organize the be triggered sequential of quench of coil and just there is randomness, be difficult to control.Respectively organize electromagnetic coupled between coil for highfield superconducting magnet of NMR very strong, and energy storage density is very high, it is excessive that this uncontrolled quench accelerator still can cause certain to organize coil-induced electric current, or temperature rise is too high.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to overcome known quench protection system to be applied in the superconducting magnet of NMR protection of highfield produce above-mentioned defect, a kind of new quenching protection device is proposed.
The present invention the superconducting magnet that is suitable for by organizing main coil and one group of bucking coil is composed in series more, all main coils of superconducting magnet and one group of bucking coil be radially arrangement and do not have thermo-contact coaxially.Superconducting magnet two ends are parallel with main superconducting switch, run with the persistent mode realizing superconducting magnet.
Quenching protection device of the present invention is made up of multichannel main coil shunt circuit and a road bucking coil shunt circuit.Wherein the quantity of main coil shunt circuit is identical with the set of main coils number in superconducting magnet, an often group main coil two ends main coil shunt circuit in parallel of superconducting magnet.A bucking coil two ends bucking coil shunt circuit in parallel of superconducting magnet.
The often group coil of superconducting magnet is all equipped with the heater of close thermal contact, can by pasting at the outer surface often organizing coil of superconducting magnet the close thermal contact that heater realizes coil and heater.Wherein, the outer surface often organizing main coil of superconducting magnet pastes a heater respectively, and these heaters are called main coil heater, and all main coil heater connected in electrical series form heater assembly together.Bucking coil outer surface pastes the heater with set of main coils number equal number, and these heaters are called bucking coil heater.
The main coil shunt circuit that the present invention proposes is made up of a diode pair bucking coil heater of connecting.The heater assembly of bucking coil shunt circuit described in a diode pair is connected forms.Two diodes that described diode pair is connected by inverse parallel mode back-to-back form.
When any main coil quench of superconducting magnet, along with the increase of normal region resistance, this main coil circulation electric current by branching part in main coil shunt circuit.Bucking coil heater in this main coil shunt circuit will generate heat, thus triggers bucking coil quench.After bucking coil quench, bucking coil circulation electric current by branching part in bucking coil shunt circuit.All main coil heaters will flow through the identical electric current of size simultaneously, will trigger respective main coil quench respectively after the heating of these main coil heaters.Its heating power can be changed by the size changing each main coil heater, thus control it and trigger corresponding main coil quench required time.Therefore quenching protection device of the present invention can to control in superconducting magnet each group coil wittingly and to be triggered the priority sequential of quench.
