Background
The accelerator is a special electric, magnetic and high-vacuum device which can make charged particles in high-vacuum field be controlled by magnetic field force and accelerated by electric field force so as to attain high energy, and is a modern equipment for artificially providing various high-energy particle beams or radiation rays, and is an important instrument in high-energy physics.
The beam line is an important component of the accelerator, and the beam current led out of the accelerator is transmitted to each experimental terminal through the beam line.
The quadrupole lenses are the main beam line magnets on the beam line, the beam line is usually formed by connecting a plurality of groups of quadrupole lenses in series, and the center of each group of quadrupole lenses is a beam current pore canal. When energized, the magnetic field produced by the quadrupole lens imparts a focusing force to the particles so that the beam passing therethrough avoids deviating from the central orbit. In the prior art, for the technical scheme of the quadrupole lens, for example, the installation collimation device and the installation collimation method of the quadrupole lens on the proton beam line of the patent CN2867584Y magnetic quadrupole lens and the patent CN108735328A magnetic pole are only related to the structure of the quadrupole lens, but not related to how to solve the problem of accurately positioning the magnetic pole on the quadrupole lens, because the accurate positioning of the magnetic pole of the quadrupole lens is difficult to achieve.
The reason why the precise positioning of the quadrupole lens poles is difficult is that: the positioning between the magnetic poles adopts a lifting positioning method, before lifting positioning, the two magnetic poles of the lower quadrupole lens and the two magnetic poles of the upper quadrupole lens are respectively installed, and then the upper quadrupole lens and the lower quadrupole lens are assembled. Before assembly, semicircular holes for installing the joint pins are formed in the left side and the right side of the upper half quadrupole lens magnetic yoke and the left side and the right side of the lower half quadrupole lens magnetic yoke respectively, and the joint pins are arranged in the semicircular holes, and at the moment, the length direction of the joint pins is perpendicular to the transverse section direction of the quadrupole lenses. During assembly, as the lifting positioning is soft positioning, the upper half quadrupole lens can shake back and forth and left and right in the lifting process, and when the upper half quadrupole lens shakes left and right, if the diameter of the top of the joint pin is too small, the joint pin can be rolled and deformed by the quadrupole lens when the quadrupole lens shakes left and right. Based on this, the diameter of the pin used for positioning the quadrupole lens in engineering cannot be too thin, but must be relatively thick, and the diameter of the pin cannot be smaller than 0.8 mm, and the positioning accuracy can only reach 0.1 mm.
The poles of the quadrupole lens are difficult to position precisely, and the poles appearing at both ends of the quadrupole lens cannot ensure strict coaxiality and strict concentricity. The fact that strict coaxiality cannot be guaranteed means that the connecting lines of the two ends of each magnetic pole are not parallel to the axis of the quadrupole lens, but have a certain angle; the fact that strict concentricity cannot be guaranteed means that two magnetic poles of the upper quadrupole lens and two magnetic poles of the lower quadrupole lens are misplaced left and right, so that four magnetic poles cannot be concentric; when the non-concentricity or the non-coaxiality of the magnetic poles of the quadrupole lens is more than or equal to 0.1 millimeter, the deviation of the beam current is amplified by 25 times (which is calculated by strict beam flow mechanics), and meanwhile, the error of measuring the magnetic field uniformity can only reach three thousandths, but the requirement that the error of the magnetic field uniformity is less than five parts per million is not met.

Detailed Description
Principle of design of the invention
First, the magnetic field is measured first, and then the pin holes are located. The pin holes comprise a riding joint pin hole on the outer ring magnetic yoke and a positioning pin hole on the inner ring magnetic yoke. After the upper and lower quadrupole lenses are hoisted and aligned, firstly measuring whether the uniformity of the magnetic field formed by the upper and lower quadrupole lenses reaches an index of which the error is not more than five parts per million, if the uniformity of the magnetic field does not reach the index, continuously measuring the magnetic field while moving the relative positions of the upper and lower quadrupole lenses through a crane until the uniformity of the magnetic field reaches the index requirement, and determining the relative positions of the upper and lower quadrupole lenses and the positions of the pin holes of the outer ring and the pin holes of the inner ring. After the positions of the pin holes are determined, the pin holes can be matched with the mounting holes and the positioning holes of the joint pins on the outer ring magnetic yoke and the magnetic pole positioning rings of the inner ring magnetic pole.
And secondly, disassembling the quadrupole lens before installing the beam pipeline. Since the uniformity of the measuring magnetic field can only be achieved before the beam tube is installed, the condition that the measuring magnetic field is not provided once the beam tube is installed is achieved, and therefore the beam tube can be installed in the magnetic pole pore canal of the quadrupole lens only after the measuring magnetic field is completed. The installation method is that the upper half quadrupole lens is taken off, the beam pipeline is laid in the neutral gear between the two magnetic poles of the lower half quadrupole lens, and then the upper half quadrupole lens is installed, so that the beam pipeline is enclosed between the gaps of the upper and lower four magnetic poles. Before the beam tube is installed, in order to measure the magnetic field and match the pinhole, the upper half quadrupole lens is already installed on the lower half quadrupole lens, and the dowel pin on the outer ring yoke and the dowel pin on the inner ring magnetic pole positioning ring are already installed, so the installed quadrupole lens, and the related dowel pin and magnetic pole positioning ring must be disassembled before the beam tube is installed.
Third, the quadrupole lens is reset by pins when reinstalling. When the quadrupole lens is reinstalled after the beam tube is installed, the position of the beam tube blocks the position of the measuring magnetic field, and the condition of measuring the magnetic field is not provided, so that a pin resetting method is necessary. In order to ensure that the original magnetic field uniformity error does not exceed five parts per million when the pin is reset, the method of combined internal and external reset and combined reset at two ends is adopted, so that each group of quadrupole lens magnetic poles can be ensured to be strictly coaxial and strictly concentric:
the method adopts the combination of inner and outer combination reset, namely the combination of coarse granularity reset of the large-radius outer ring and fine granularity reset of the small-radius inner ring of the quadrupole lens, wherein the coarse granularity reset of the outer ring is realized by adopting a hoisting soft positioning method, left and right shaking occurs in the hoisting process, if the saddle pin on the outer ring magnetic yoke is too thin, the saddle pin is easy to crush and deform, therefore, the saddle pin of the outer ring can only be a pin with relatively thick diameter, and the larger diameter is the worse the positioning precision is, so the positioning of the outer ring can only be the coarse granularity reset; the fine granularity resetting of the inner ring is realized because the outer ring is already subjected to coarse granularity resetting when the fine granularity resetting is performed, and a hoisting positioning method is not needed any more, so that pins for positioning the inner ring with small radius can be made as fine as possible, and the finer the pins, the higher the positioning precision, so that the resetting of the inner ring is fine granularity resetting. The method of combining the inside and outside or combining the thickness and the fineness is adopted for resetting, so that the high-precision concentricity of the magnetic poles after resetting is ensured; in the embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the dowel pin on the outer ring magnetic yoke is 8 mm, the coarse positioning precision is 0.1 mm, the positioning pin on the inner ring magnetic pole is 6 mm, and the magnetic pole positioning precision reaches 0.03 mm after the outer ring coarse positioning and the inner ring fine positioning are combined.
The method of combining two ends for resetting is that magnetic pole positioning rings are respectively arranged on the magnetic pole faces of two ends of a group of quadrupole lenses, and the magnetic pole positioning rings at the two ends reach the height concentricity of each magnetic pole face at the same time, so that the magnetic pole connecting line at the two ends is ensured to be parallel to the axis, thereby realizing the high-precision coaxiality of the magnetic poles during resetting.
Compared with the original method for resetting only the outer ring joint pin, the method has the advantages that the resetting precision is improved from 0.1 millimeter to 0.03 millimeter, the magnetic field uniformity error is improved from three thousandths to five thousandths, a number of grades are improved, the improvement of the number of grades is significant for the quality of the beam, the magnetic field precision is improved by 0.1 millimeter, the quality of the beam is improved by 25 times, and the conclusion is reached through accurate calculation of the beam flow mechanics.
Based on the above inventive principles, the present invention is directed to a quadrupole lens assembly with a magnetic pole positioning ring.
A four-pole lens assembly with magnetic pole positioning rings is shown in fig. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, wherein four magnetic poles 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4 which are uniformly spaced in the circumferential direction by 90 degrees are arranged near a small radius of the four-pole lens assembly, and magnetic yokes which are arranged around the outer sides of the four magnetic poles and near the large radius of the four-pole lens assembly are arranged on the front end surface and the rear end surface of the four-pole lens assembly in the axial direction, a first-stage magnetic pole positioning mechanism 5 and a second-stage magnetic pole positioning mechanism 3 are respectively arranged on the front end surface and the rear end surface of the four-pole lens assembly, and the first-stage magnetic pole positioning mechanism is formed by arranging a left and a right two dowel pins 5 at the joint of an upper half four-pole lens and a lower half four-pole lens, and the left and right two dowel pins are used for roughly positioning the magnetic poles; the second-stage magnetic pole positioning mechanism 3 is two magnetic pole positioning rings 3 which are respectively connected with magnetic poles at the small radius positions of the front end face and the rear end face of each group of four-pole lenses in a surrounding mode, the two magnetic pole positioning rings 3 are used for accurately positioning the magnetic poles 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4 of the group of four-pole lenses, high-precision coaxiality and high-precision concentricity of the magnetic poles 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4 of the group of four-pole lenses are achieved, and the high-precision coaxiality and concentricity reach 0.03 millimeter.
