One aspect of the present invention provides an induction coil wound around an outer side of a cold crucible body for providing an electromagnetic field to the cold crucible so that a material in the cold crucible is inductively heated and melted by the electromagnetic field. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an induction coil 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a single-layer multi-turn coil wound on an outer side of a cold crucible main body 210, adjacent two turns of the multi-turn coil have a turn pitch d therebetween, and the turn pitch of each adjacent two turns of the multi-turn coil near a bottom of the cold crucible is smaller than the turn pitch of each adjacent two turns of the multi-turn coil near a top of the cold crucible.
The induction coil in this embodiment is wound around the outside of the cold crucible main body in a non-uniform arrangement, and each turn of coil near the bottom of the cold crucible is wound tightly, and each turn of coil near the top of the cold crucible is wound loosely relative to each turn of coil near the bottom of the cold crucible. The induction coil can be in the inside electromagnetic field that produces of cold crucible, and the mode through above-mentioned inhomogeneous setting sets up induction coil, can strengthen the magnetic field intensity that is located the regional department electromagnetic field in cold crucible bottom, is favorable to being located the heating and the melting of the material of cold crucible bottom, prevents that the material temperature of this region department from crossing lowly and tending to the solidification, is favorable to unloading out of the cold crucible bottom of fused material.
As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, a distance h between the induction coil 100 and the bottom of the cold crucible is a predetermined distance. The distance between the induction coil 100 and the bottom of the cold crucible influences the distribution of the electromagnetic field inside the cold crucible, and when the cold crucible is used for treating radioactive waste liquid, the glass raw material needs to be heated and melted by the heating material to start the smelting of the radioactive waste liquid to be treated, and during the starting process, the distance h influences the glass melting effect. Therefore, setting the distance h to a predetermined distance facilitates induction heating and melting of the material in the cold crucible. Specifically, the distance h may be specifically set according to conditions such as a specific size of the cold crucible 200, a processing capacity of the material, a heating material used, and a height of the induction coil.
In the present embodiment, the total height H of the induction coil 100 is a predetermined height. Further, the predetermined height may be determined according to the height of the cold crucible body 210. When the cold crucible 200 is used for glass solidification of radioactive waste liquid, the electromagnetic field acts on the glass melt to enable the effective area of the glass melt subjected to induction heating to be within the height range covered by the induction coil 100, the induction coil 100 is set to be at the preset height, the height H of the induction coil is adapted to the height of the cold crucible main body 210, and heating and melting of materials in the process of glass solidification in the cold crucible are facilitated. For example, the predetermined height may be proportional to the height of the cold crucible body.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the cross-section of the induction coil 100 may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, a square shape, or other shapes. The cross-sectional shape of the induction coil 100 also affects the distribution of the electromagnetic field in the cold crucible, and the particular cross-sectional shape of the induction coil can be selected based on the desired electromagnetic field.
The size of the cross section of each turn coil may be specifically selected according to conditions such as the actual size of the cold crucible. In the present embodiment, the dimension of the cross section of each coil turn along the axial direction of the cold crucible 200 is a first predetermined value, and the dimension of the cross section of each coil turn along the radial direction of the cold crucible 200 is a second predetermined value, so that the electromagnetic field generated by the induction coil 100 can meet the working requirement. For example, when the sectional shape of the induction coil 100 is a rectangle, the width of the induction coil (i.e., the dimension in the radial direction of the cold crucible 200) may be set to 2 cm, the wall thickness may be set to 0.5 cm, and the height of each turn of the coil may be set according to the total height H of the induction coil 100, the turn pitch d, and the number of turns of the induction coil 100. The size of the induction coil 100 is not limited in this embodiment, and the above specific size parameters are only for the purpose of describing this embodiment.
Further, as shown in fig. 7, the surface of the induction coil 100 is also provided with an insulating layer 300. Insulating layer 300 may be coated or wrapped on the surface of induction coil 100 to prevent breakdown between adjacent turns of the coil. Preferably, the insulating layer 300 can also resist high temperature, for example, the insulating layer 300 can be made of silicone insulating paint, glass fiber or ceramic.
By adopting the induction coil 100 of the embodiment, the turn pitch of the induction coil 100 is set to be loose at the upper part and tight at the lower part, so that the magnetic field intensity of the electromagnetic field at the bottom area of the cold crucible can be enhanced, and the molten material can be discharged from the bottom of the cold crucible.
It should be noted that, the multi-turn coils in this embodiment may be connected in series or in parallel. As shown in fig. 1, the multi-turn coil is connected in series and wound around the outside of the cold crucible main body 210. As shown in fig. 8, the multi-turn coils may be arranged in parallel. For example, the two ends of the multi-turn coil are respectively connected to the same conductor in parallel, and then the two conductors are connected to a power supply, which can supply power to the induction coil 100.

As shown in fig. 3, in the induction coil 100, the turn-to-turn distance d between two adjacent turns increases linearly from bottom to top along the axial direction of the cold crucible 200. For example, the turn pitch d of the induction coil 100 may be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm in sequence from bottom to top in the axial direction of the cold crucible 200. The specific arrangement of the inter-turn distance is not limited in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, other inter-turn distances that increase linearly may also be adopted.

As shown in fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the induction coil 100 may be divided into two regions from bottom to top along the axial direction of the cold crucible 200, in a first region near the bottom 230 of the cold crucible, a turn-to-turn distance d between two adjacent turns is a first turn-to-turn distance, in a second region above and adjacent to the first region, the turn-to-turn distance d is a second turn-to-turn distance, and the second turn-to-turn distance is greater than the first turn-to-turn distance. For example, the pitch between four turns of wire near the bottom 230 of the cold crucible may be 3 mm, while the pitch between four turns of wire near the top 220 of the cold crucible may be 5 mm. Of course, the number of turns of the induction coil 100, the number of areas into which the induction coil 100 is divided, and the specific turn pitch are not limited in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, the arrangement may be performed in other manners.

Optionally, the induction coil 100 is divided into a plurality of regions from bottom to top along the axial direction of the cold crucible 200; in each region, the turn-to-turn distance of each two adjacent turns of the coil is linearly increased. And the increment of the turn pitch of each two adjacent turns of coils in each region is smaller than that of the two adjacent turns of coils in the other region on each region, or the increment of the turn pitch of each two adjacent turns of coils in each region is larger than that of the two adjacent turns of coils in the other region on each region.
As shown in fig. 5, in the fourth embodiment, the induction coil 100 may be divided into two regions from the bottom to the top in the axial direction of the cold crucible 200. In a first region near the cold crucible bottom 230, the pitch increases linearly and by a first predetermined amount, and in a second region above the first region, the pitch increases linearly and by a second predetermined amount that is less than the first predetermined amount. For example, the turn pitch d is 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 mm in order from bottom to top in the axial direction of the cold crucible 200, wherein the first predetermined amount is 2 mm and the second predetermined amount is 1 mm.

The induction coil 100 is divided into a plurality of regions from bottom to top along the axial direction of the cold crucible 200, and the turn-to-turn distances between two adjacent turns of coils in each region are set in different manners.
