The specific structure of the helium three-gas purification apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 discloses a helium tri-gas purification apparatus, which includes a main body 1, a gas processing unit 2, a primary temperature reduction unit 3, and a secondary temperature reduction unit 4. The body 1 defines a vacuum chamber 11. Both ends of the gas processing unit 2 are arranged outside the main body 1, the middle part of the gas processing unit 2 is arranged in the vacuum cavity 11, and the gas processing unit 2 is used for purifying helium three-gas mixture. The primary cooling unit 3 is arranged in the vacuum chamber 11, and the primary cooling unit 3 is used for refrigerating the helium three-gas mixture to a first preset temperature. The secondary cooling unit 4 is arranged in the vacuum cavity 11, and the secondary cooling unit 4 is used for refrigerating the helium three-gas mixture to a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, and the second preset temperature is not more than 10K.
It can be understood that the vacuum chamber 11 defined by the main body 1 can accommodate the gas processing unit 2, the primary temperature reduction unit 3 and the secondary temperature reduction unit 4, thereby providing a safe and reliable operation space for purifying helium. The primary cooling unit 3 and the secondary cooling unit 4 can sectionally cool the helium tri-mixed gas in the gas processing unit 2, and can sequentially solidify other gases in the helium tri-mixed gas, for example, impurities such as nitrogen and the like can be solidified at the primary cooling unit 3, so as to improve the helium tri-purity of the helium tri-mixed gas entering the secondary cooling unit 4; and the helium three-mixed gas can be ensured to reach below 10K under the refrigeration of the secondary cooling unit 4, so that the refrigeration of the helium three-mixed gas is facilitated. In addition, the primary cooling unit 3 and the secondary cooling unit 4 are only provided with two sections of refrigeration processes, so that the refrigeration flow of helium three-mixed gas can be reduced, and the overall structure of the device is simplified. When the helium tri-mixed gas is cooled to the second preset temperature under the action of the secondary cooling unit 4, because the second preset temperature is not more than 10K and the solidification temperature of tritium in the helium tri-mixed gas is 19K, the tritium in the helium tri-mixed gas in the gas processing unit 2 in the secondary cooling unit 4 can be solidified in the gas processing unit 2, and therefore, the gas in the gas processing unit 2 output from the secondary cooling unit 4 only comprises the helium tri-gas, and the purification of the helium tri-gas in the helium tri-mixed gas is better realized.
According to the helium tri-gas purification device of the embodiment, through the treatment of the primary cooling unit 3 and the secondary cooling unit 4, various impurity elements such as nitrogen and tritium in the helium tri-gas mixture can be solidified, so that pure and safe commercial helium tri-gas can be obtained. Compared with the scheme that tritium is filtered by a filter membrane made of multiple layers of palladium to purify helium III in the prior art, the helium tri-gas purification device can realize multiple times of efficient helium tri-purification, and is simpler, less in required supporting auxiliary equipment and less in time consumption in the working process, so that manpower and equipment cost can be saved.

It is understood that a filter cold trap 21 is additionally provided in the gas processing unit 2, and an adsorption structure capable of adsorbing impurity elements such as tritium which are solidified is provided in the filter cold trap 21. In addition, when the adsorption capacity of the adsorption structure is close to the upper limit, the user can also ensure the adsorption of tritium in the gas treatment unit 2 again by replacing the filtering cold trap 21, so that the repeated adsorption of impurity elements such as tritium and the like is conveniently realized, the repeated use of the helium tri-gas purification device is ensured, the cost of replacing the adsorption structure is low, and the purification cost of helium tri is also reduced.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the filtering cold trap 21 refers to a structure for adsorbing and filtering the solid tritium gas, and the structure can be detachably disposed in the gas processing unit 2, so as to facilitate replacement by a user, so as to ensure that radiation of the solid tritium gas in the filtering cold trap 21 does not cause damage to a human body.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the adsorption structure includes activated carbon, and the porous sponge in the activated carbon can play better adsorption effect to the tritium after the solidification. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the adsorption structure may also be made of other materials, and need not be limited specifically.

It can be understood that, one-level cold plate 32 can play the refrigeration effect in the thermal-insulated chamber 31 of one-level heat radiation, thereby reduce the temperature in the thermal-insulated chamber 31 of one-level heat radiation to first preset temperature, simultaneously because the cooperation of the refrigeration body 22 is in the thermal-insulated chamber 31 of one-level heat radiation, thereby can guarantee better that the temperature that filters the three thoughtlessly gas of helium in cold trap 21 reaches first preset temperature, can play the cooling effect of first stage to three thoughtlessly gas of helium, can also filter impurity gases such as nitrogen gas in the three thoughtlessly gas of helium in advance, be favorable to the cooling of three thoughtlessly gas of helium in second grade cooling unit 4.

It can be understood that the pre-cooling unit can pre-cool the helium tri-gas mixture, so that the temperature of the helium tri-gas mixture is between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature, which can not only be convenient for ensuring that the secondary cooling unit 4 reduces the temperature of the helium tri-gas mixture to the second preset temperature, but also can further filter out impurity gases incompletely filtered at the primary cooling unit 3 in the pre-cooling process, and better ensure that the helium tri-gas mixture entering the secondary cooling unit 4 mainly comprises the helium tri-gas and tritium, so as to improve the purification precision of the helium tri-gas.
