Description

Cryostat, superconducting magnet structure and magnetic resonance system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance equipment, in particular to a low-temperature retainer, a superconducting magnet structure and a magnetic resonance system.
Background
The superconducting magnet for the magnetic resonance system is usually formed by filling liquid helium into a tank body of a low-temperature retainer to immerse a superconducting coil, so that the superconducting coil maintains a low-temperature superconducting state, and a stable strong magnetic field is generated after the coil is excited. A rectangular-section solenoidal coil group in a typical superconducting magnet structure is the most common coil structure at present, and consists of a plurality of inner coils and outer magnet coils, all of which are wound in a wire slot of a bobbin of metallic material and finally encapsulated in a hollow cylindrical cryostat.
The cryostat is typically assembled from three layers of concentric cylindrical cavities, including an innermost liquid helium vessel, an intermediate shield cylinder, and an outer vacuum vessel. In order to maintain the relative position and fix, the inner container, the shielding cylinder and the outer container are also provided with a plurality of hanging fixing pieces respectively, which can firmly hang and fix the inner container and the shielding cylinder on the outer container.
Because the coil weight of the superconducting magnet is heavier, the common 1.5T superconducting magnet coil weighs up to 2 tons, while the weight of the high-field superconducting magnet coil exceeds ten tons and even up to tens of tons, the impact force generated by the working conditions such as gravity and transportation can generate larger reaction force on the support and the fixed block thereof. The suspension blocks therefore need to have a certain shape and size, in particular a thickness of typically more than 30mm, which also requires a larger gap between the shielding cylinder and the inner container to accommodate the symmetrically distributed suspension blocks, typically a gap of 40-80 mm.
Generally, for a specific superconducting magnet, the coil design is determined by the magnet parameters (such as the size and uniformity of the central magnetic field uniform region, etc.), after the magnet parameters are determined, the sizes of the inner and outer coils are determined, such as 1.5T and 3.0T superconducting magnet coils for whole body imaging, the outer diameter of the coils is usually about 1.6-2 m, and the diameters of the magnet coils are significantly larger than those of the inner coils and are mainly distributed at two end parts of the inner container and close to the outer cylinder thereof. In addition, the effect of the magnet coil in electromagnetic design is mainly to reduce the range of the magnet stray field (usually referred to as a magnetic field with Gaussian intensity) so as to reduce the size limitation of the superconducting magnet on the installation site, and the installation site size of the 1.5T whole-body imaging magnetic resonance device is 2.5x4m (taking the magnet as a center, an X-Y plane and a single axis) which is required by taking the Gaussian stray field as a reference, and the installation site size of the 5T whole-body imaging magnetic resonance device is 5X6m. For coil design of superconducting magnet, especially high-field superconducting magnet, the width of the outer magnet coil along the central axis direction of the container is as wide as possible, which is favorable for reducing stray field to a certain extent.
On the other hand, for a coil of determined dimensions, the dimensions of the inner container with which it cooperates are also substantially determined; because the hanging fixing block occupies the interlayer gap between the shielding cylinder and the inner container, the shielding cylinder and the vacuum outer container need to be correspondingly enlarged, namely the outer diameter, the length and the like of the container need to be correspondingly enlarged. However, with these increases in size, the superconducting magnet is largely deformed as a whole, more materials are used, the cost increases, and the difficulty in installation such as a ground sinking table or a raising table is increased, which is inconvenient for installation and use.

The present invention provides a cryostat comprising an outer vessel 110, an inner vessel 120 and a thermal barrier 130, wherein: the outer container 110 surrounds the cavity; the inner container 120 is disposed within the cavity; the thermal barrier 130 is disposed between the outer vessel 110 and the inner vessel 120. The surface of the inner container 120 or the surface of the heat shielding layer 130 forms a step structure so as to form an avoidance space for connecting the inner container 120 and the outer container 110 with a suspension support, or form an avoidance space for connecting the heat shielding layer 130 and the outer container 110 with a suspension support, thereby being beneficial to reducing the size of the whole machine.
Referring to fig. 1-3, the present invention provides a cryostat 100. The cryostat 100 is applied to a superconducting magnet structure of a magnetic resonance system, and can ensure the superconducting state of an exciting coil in the superconducting magnet structure and ensure the usability of the magnetic resonance system.
It can be appreciated that at present, the inner container and the outer container of the cryostat and the heat shielding layer and the outer container are connected through the matching of the hanging support piece and the hanging fixing piece, but the hanging support piece and the hanging fixing piece occupy the interlayer gap between the shielding cylinder and the inner container, so that the shielding cylinder and the vacuum outer container need to be correspondingly enlarged, namely the outer diameter, the length and the like of the container need to be correspondingly enlarged. However, with these increases in size, the superconducting magnet as a whole deforms greatly, and more materials are used, which increases the cost, and the like.
Therefore, the present invention provides a novel cryostat 100, which has a compact structure, so that the whole size of the cryostat 100 is as small as possible, the materials used are reduced, the cost is lowered, and the installation difficulty is reduced. The specific structure of the cryostat 100 is described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1-3, in one embodiment, the cryostat 100 includes an outer vessel 110, an inner vessel 120, a thermal shield 130, and a support structure 140. The outer container 110 has a hollow magnet hole. The inner container 120 is disposed in the outer container 110, and encloses a mounting space with the outer container 110. A heat shielding layer 130 is disposed in the installation space; the surface of the inner container 120 has a first recess portion recessed toward the inner side of the inner container 120, and/or the surface of the heat shielding layer 130 has a second recess portion recessed toward the inner container 120, and the first recess portion and the second recess portion are disposed correspondingly. The supporting structure 140 includes a first supporting member 141 and a second supporting member 142, one end of the first supporting member 141 is disposed in the first recess portion, the other end is connected to the outer container 110, one end of the second supporting member 142 is disposed in the second recess portion, and the other end is connected to the outer container 110.
The cryostat 100 is a multi-layered container structure including an outer container 110, an inner container 120, and a thermal barrier 130. The outer container 110 has a cavity and surrounds a through hole that is surrounded to extend in the axial direction. The inner container 120 is disposed in the cavity of the outer container 110, the inner container 120 and the outer container 110 enclose an installation space of a vacuum environment, and the heat shielding layer 130 is disposed in the installation space between the inner container 120 and the outer container 110. The cryostat 100 can accommodate the magnet assembly 200, isolate the external heat from the vacuum environment between the inner container 120 and the outer container 110, avoid the magnet assembly 200 from rising too fast, and the heat shielding layer 130 can also play a role of heat shielding, avoid the external heat from being transferred into the inner container 120, and further avoid the magnet assembly 200 from rising temperature, so as to avoid the superconducting state of the magnet assembly 200.
In order to ensure reliable fixation between the inner vessel 120, the thermal shielding layer 130 and the outer vessel 110, the cryostat 100 further comprises a support structure 140, wherein the inner vessel 120 and the thermal shielding layer 130 are fixed in the accommodating cavity of the outer vessel 110 by the support structure 140, so as to avoid the positions of the inner vessel 120 and the thermal shielding layer 130 from shifting. Specifically, the supporting structure 140 includes a first supporting member 141 and a second supporting member 142, one end of the first supporting member 141 is connected to the outer wall of the inner container 120, the other end of the first supporting member 141 is connected to a fixing point of the outer container 110, and the inner container 120 is suspended in the outer container 110 by the first supporting member 141, so as to ensure that the inner container 120 is reliably fixed. One end of the second support 142 is connected with the outer wall of the heat shielding layer 130, the other end of the second support 142 is connected with a fixing point of the outer container 110, and the heat shielding layer 130 is hung in an installation space between the inner container 120 and the outer container 110 through the second support 142, so that the fixing reliability of the heat shielding layer 130 is ensured.
Generally, the size of the installation space between the inner container 120 and the outer container 110 is large to accommodate the first and second supporting members 141 and 142, thereby resulting in an increase in the overall size. For this, the present invention provides a first recess on the inner container 120 and/or a second recess on the heat shielding layer 130. The first concave portion is concave on the outer surface of the inner container 120 and is concave towards the inner side of the inner container 120, and the second concave portion is concave on the outer surface of the heat shielding layer 130 and is concave towards the inner container 120. The inner side here refers to the inner space of the inner container 120, and a region away from the heat shielding layer 130. The first recess can receive a portion of the first support 141 and the second recess can receive a portion of the second support 142. In this way, the dimensions of the first support member 141 and the second support member 142 in the radial direction are reduced, and accordingly, the size of the installation space can be reduced, thereby reducing the size of the entire cryostat 100 to reduce the overall size of the magnetic resonance system.
It should be noted that the outer diameter of a conventional superconducting magnet (such as 1.5T field strength) is usually only about 2m, and the design scheme of the invention is particularly suitable for a high-field and ultra-high-field superconducting magnet with the magnetic field strength of 5T and above, and the outer diameter of the external dimension of the superconducting magnet is at least 2.7m, so that the requirements of the high-field and ultra-high-field superconducting magnet on the reduction of the external dimension are more urgent in order to meet the requirement of the scanning room design of the existing hospital. The step structure formed on the surface of the inner container 120 or the surface of the heat shielding layer 130 in the embodiment of the invention is beneficial to forming the avoidance space of the suspension support piece, thereby being beneficial to reducing the whole machine size of the magnetic resonance system.
Optionally, a first recess is provided on the inner container 120, in which case a portion of the first support 141 is located. That is, the inner container 120 has a region of reduced diameter, and the heat shielding layer 130 has a uniform diameter. At this time, the installation space between the inner container 120 and the heat shielding layer 130 can also be reduced.
Optionally, a second recess is provided on the heat shielding layer 130, in which case a portion of the second support 142 is located. That is, the heat shielding layer 130 has a region with a reduced diameter, and the inner container 120 has a uniform diameter. At this time, the installation space between the inner container 120 and the heat shielding layer 130 can also be reduced.
Optionally, a first recess is provided on the inner container 120, a second recess is provided on the heat shielding layer 130, and the first recess and the second recess at least partially overlap in the axial direction. The first concave portion accommodates the partial first supporting member 141 and the second concave portion accommodates the partial second supporting member 142, so that the radial dimension of the first supporting member 141 extending into the inner container 120 can be reduced, the radial dimension of the second supporting member 142 exposing the heat shielding layer 130 can be reduced, and the size of the installation space can be further reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the overall size of the cryostat 100.
It should be noted that, in the present invention, the inner container 120 has a first concave portion, and the heat shielding layer 130 has a second concave portion. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, only the first concave portion may be disposed on the inner container 120, or only the second concave portion may be disposed on the heat shielding layer 130, and in this embodiment, the structures of the first concave portion and the second concave portion are substantially the same as those of the first concave portion and the second concave portion in the above embodiment, which is not described in detail herein.
The position of the first recess corresponds to the position of the second recess on the thermal shield 130 in the inner container 120. That is, the first concave portion and the second concave portion at least partially overlap in the axial direction, so that interference between the inner container 120 and the heat shielding layer 130 can be avoided while reducing the installation space between the inner container 120 and the outer container 110. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first recess portion and the second recess portion may be completely staggered.

As shown in fig. 2, the first fixing block 143 is located at the first transition 1211, and the height of the first fixing block 143 will not exceed the second outer cylinder 123 of the inner container 120, so the gap between the inner container 120 and the shielding cylinder can be greatly reduced. Illustratively, the inner vessel 120 and the thermal shield 130 need generally be provided with only 10mm, and the interlayer gap may be reduced by 50mm. Accordingly, the second fixing blocks 144 of the heat shielding layer 130 are disposed in the second recess areas 131, which further reduces the interlayer gap between the heat shielding layer 130 and the outer container 110 and the overall size of the cryostat 100.

Optionally, the heat shielding layer 130 is symmetrically disposed with the recessed areas at both ends of the inner container 120 and the support structure 140. Alternatively, the second fixing block 144 and the first fixing block 143 on the outer container 110 may be disposed on the inner wall of the outer container 110, or may be disposed on the first sealing plate 113 of the outer container 110.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, after the above-mentioned concave arrangement can be adopted in the cryostat 100 according to the present invention, the distance between the inner container 120 and the outer container 110 can be effectively reduced, and thus the overall size of the cryostat 100 can be reduced, so that the cryostat 100 has smaller external shape, center height and installation size. When the cryostat 100 is applied to a magnetic resonance system for 5T whole body scanning, the small interlayer clearance between containers and the small external dimension of the containers can be obtained, and meanwhile, the height of a sickbed is controlled to be not more than 1.2m, so that the height is suitable for the sickbed of conventional magnetic resonance equipment, and no special requirement is imposed on an installation site; meanwhile, the ladder-type outer coil structure can optimize the range of a 5 Gaussian escape field to be not more than 3.8 multiplied by 4.3m, so that the space size of an installation field is greatly saved, and certain product advantages are realized.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present invention also provides a superconducting magnet structure including a cryostat 100 and a magnet assembly 200, the magnet assembly 200 being disposed in the cryostat 100, the cryostat 100 including an outer vessel 110, an inner vessel 120, a thermal shield 130 and a support structure 140. The outer container 110 has a hollow magnet hole. The inner container 120 is disposed in the outer container 110, and encloses a mounting space with the outer container 110.

The superconducting magnet structure can effectively reduce the size of the superconducting magnet structure after the cryostat 100 is adopted, so that the superconducting magnet structure has smaller appearance, center height and installation size. When the superconducting magnet structure is applied to a magnetic resonance system of 5T whole-body scanning, the gap between the layers of the smaller container and the external dimension of the smaller container can be obtained, and meanwhile, the height of a sickbed is controlled to be not more than 1.2m, so that the height is suitable for the sickbed of conventional magnetic resonance equipment, and no special requirement is imposed on an installation site; meanwhile, the ladder-type outer coil structure can optimize the range of a 5 Gaussian dissipation field not to exceed 3.8x4.3m, so that the space size of an installation field is greatly saved, and certain product advantages are achieved.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, the magnet assembly 200 includes a main coil and a shield coil disposed outside the main coil. The design structure of the shielding coil is adapted to the stepped structure/stepped structure of the surface of the inner container 120, the shielding coil comprises a first magnet coil 210 and a second magnet coil 220, the outer diameter of the first magnet coil 210 is larger than that of the second magnet coil 220, the first magnet coil 210 is arranged in the inner container 120, and the second magnet coil 220 is arranged corresponding to the first concave portion.
In one embodiment, the first magnet coil 210 of the shield coil forms a high coil region and the second magnet coil 220 of the shield coil forms a low coil region. The radial dimension of the low coil area is 20% -60% of the radial dimension of the high coil area, so that a good shielding effect is obtained. The high coil section is located at the end of the inner vessel 120 and the low coil section is located adjacent the end of the inner vessel 120 in the middle region.
In one embodiment, the width of the coil region of the shield coil is generally less than the width of the inner container 120 in the container axis direction, and the axial width of the low coil region is not less than 50% of the axial width of the high coil region. In 5T high field superconductivity, the axial length of the shield coil is typically over 500mm, wherein: the height of the high coil area is usually more than 50mm, and the height of the low coil area is usually less than 25mm, so that a concave area with a depth of more than 25mm can be formed. The arrangement can fully utilize the special-shaped space formed by the concave of the container, and simultaneously, for the electromagnetic design of the coil, the combination of high and low coil areas gives more degrees of freedom to the optimization of the electromagnetic stray field, so that the coil design is easier to obtain better uniformity in the FOV area; in addition, by changing the step coil size or the width of the low coil region, the 5 gauss evanescent field range can be greatly reduced.
Magnet assembly 200 is the component of the superconducting magnet structure that produces a magnet. Since the outer surface of the inner container 120 is provided with the first recess, the first recess may limit the size of the magnet assembly 200. For this, the present invention provides the magnet assembly 200 in a stepped configuration to accommodate the first recess of the inner container 120 and the normal-sized region of the inner container 120.
Specifically, the magnet assembly 200 includes a first magnet coil 210 and a second magnet coil 220, the first magnet coil 210 and the second magnet coil 220 are disposed along an axial direction, and an outer diameter of the first magnet coil 210 is larger than an outer view of the second magnet coil 220.

The axial width of the first magnet coil 210 and the second magnet coil 220 in the axial direction of the inner container 120 is smaller than the axial extent of the inner container 120, and the axial width of the second magnet coil 220 is larger than the axial width of the first magnet coil 210. This arrangement can fully utilize the irregularly shaped space formed by the concave shape of the inner container 120, and simultaneously, for the electromagnetic design of the coil, the combination of the high and low coils of the first magnet coil 210 and the second magnet coil 220 gives more freedom to optimize the electromagnetic stray field, and by changing the dimensions of the stepped first magnet coil 210 and the second magnet coil 220 or the width of the second magnet coil 220, the 5 gauss stray field range can be greatly reduced. In particular, for 5T high field magnets for whole body imaging, the 5 gauss evanescent field range can be narrowed to below the range of 3.8x4.3m.
