Description

Thermostat device capable of carrying out continuous variable temperature control of wide temperature zone

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to the research field of low-temperature instruments and devices, low-temperature control methods and physical property measurement technologies, and particularly relates to a thermostat device which is based on a small low-temperature refrigerator and can perform continuous variable temperature control in a wide temperature range by throttling and cooling liquid helium.

Background

Cryostats with temperature scanning functionality are commonly used in the field of physical property measurements. With the continuous development of material technology, more and more new materials are developed successfully, and the development of physical property measurement for verifying the properties of the materials is a very necessary link. However, these materials have a wide range of applications, and a wide range of physical properties under the application of a magnetic field or a radiation field is often required, which puts higher demands on a physical property measuring apparatus. For thermostats for physical property measurements, there is a need for wider temperature zones, more continuous temperature changes, more open structures (to apply a specific physical field), more precise temperature control.

At present, the research on the low-temperature thermostat in China has a great gap with Europe, America and Japan, and especially, a thermostat with a wide temperature range below 4K for measuring physical properties still leaves a great gap. At present, the domestic published patents such as CN105355319A, CN205246278U, CN207456918U and liquid nitrogen cryostat are that the lowest temperature is in a liquid nitrogen temperature region of about 77K, and the structural design without an external physical field can not meet the requirement of the existing high-end physical property measurement. For example, CN108800638A, CN107655236A ultra-low vibration cryostat, can reach 4K liquid helium temperature zone, but has a large difference from the international leading refrigeration temperature; and the device does not have the capability of operating in a high-temperature region because of no overheat protection capability.

An elastic heat conduction module 8 is arranged at the secondary cold head of the refrigerator 1 and is thermally coupled with a refrigerator cavity bottom flange 6 of a refrigerator cavity 7; a refrigerator cavity liquid helium outlet 19 at the bottom of the refrigerator cavity 7 is communicated with a low-temperature valve liquid helium inlet 21 on a low-temperature valve seat 34 of a low-temperature valve 24 in the secondary heat radiation screen through a liquid helium pipeline 20 in the secondary heat radiation screen in the heat insulation and heat insulation assembly, a low-temperature valve liquid helium outlet 22 on the low-temperature valve seat 34 is communicated with a sample cavity liquid helium inlet 23 at the bottom of a sample cavity interlayer in the sample cavity assembly through a pipeline, and a circulating helium outlet 46 at the top of the sample cavity interlayer is connected with a circulating helium inlet 53 on the refrigerator cavity 7 through a circulating helium pipeline 63 with a circulating pump 48.

The helium circulating system is composed of the refrigerator cavity 7, the liquid helium pipeline 20 between the refrigerator cavity liquid helium outlet 19 and the low-temperature valve liquid helium inlet 21, the inner cavity flow channel of the low-temperature valve seat 34, the pipeline between the low-temperature valve liquid helium outlet 22 and the sample cavity liquid helium inlet 23, the sample cavity interlayer in the sample cavity assembly, and the circulating helium pipeline 63 between the circulating helium outlet 46 and the circulating helium inlet 53. The flow control of the circulating helium is realized by adjusting the flow of the circulating pump 48 through the upper computer 56, an air inlet branch of a circulating helium pipeline 63 where the circulating pump 48 is located is connected with the helium storage tank, and a circulating loop inflation valve 49 is arranged on the air inlet branch and is connected with the helium storage tank through a circulating loop inflation interface 50. Because the liquid helium temperature sensor 61 and the liquid helium heater 62 which can be controlled in a linkage manner are arranged on the liquid helium pipeline 20, the liquid helium temperature sensor 61 and the liquid helium heater 62 are respectively connected with the temperature controller 57, and the upper computer 56 performs PID closed-loop control on the liquid helium temperature sensor 61 and the liquid helium heater 62 through the temperature controller 57 to accurately control the temperature; namely, the temperature control of the circulating helium gas is realized by adjusting the power of the liquid helium heater 62 behind the secondary cold head of the refrigerator 1.

The system controls the temperature of the wall surface of the sample chamber to be lower than the room temperature by adjusting the temperature and the flow of the circulating helium, the flow control of the circulating helium is realized by adjusting the flow of a circulating pump 48, and if the helium is insufficient, the air is supplied through an air charging interface 50 of a circulating loop; the temperature control of the circulating helium gas is realized by adjusting the power of the liquid helium heater 62 behind the secondary cold head of the refrigerator 1, and the liquid helium heater 62 and the liquid helium temperature sensor 61 adopt PID closed-loop control to accurately control the temperature.

It should be noted that, when the temperature is at the node of 300K, the apparatus of the present invention may select either the low temperature zone control method or the high temperature zone control method.

When the sample temperature control system of the utility model is used for controlling the low-temperature zone, the pressure of the static helium in the sample cavity is controlled within the range of 200-500Pa, the opening degree of the low-temperature valve 24 is smaller, the circulating helium is liquefied by the refrigerating machine 1, the liquid helium is throttled to obtain lower temperature, and the static helium in the sample cavity is taken as a heat-conducting medium to cool the sample, and the process is matched with the sample heater 55 controlled by the PID closed loop to work jointly, so that the accurate temperature control of the sample is finally realized. When the sample temperature control system controls a high-temperature region, the pressure of static helium in the sample cavity is controlled to be below 1Pa, the opening degree of the low-temperature valve 24 is large, the static helium in the sample cavity is in a molecular flow state, and the heat transfer between the sample cavity and a sample is extremely small; the sample is heated by a sample heater 55, and the sample heater 55 adopts PID closed-loop control to realize accurate temperature control; in order to prevent the wall surface of the sample cavity from overheating and damaging the device, the system controls the temperature of the wall surface of the sample cavity by regulating the temperature and the flow of the circulating helium gas exchanging heat with the sample cavity. The sample temperature control system has an emergency processing function, and immediately cuts off the output of the sample heater 55 when the temperature fed back by the temperature controller 57 exceeds a safe region; that is, except for the sample position, once the rest temperature monitoring points of the device exceed the normal temperature to a certain extent, the sample temperature control system can alarm to cut off the power supply of the sample heater 55, thereby avoiding the damage of the device.

Specifically, when the device of the utility model is used for controlling a high-temperature area, the flow control of the circulating helium is realized by adjusting the flow of the circulating pump 48, and an air inlet branch of a circulating helium pipeline 63 where the circulating pump 48 is arranged is connected with a helium storage tank; the temperature control of the circulating helium gas is realized by adjusting the power of the liquid helium heater 62 behind the secondary cold head of the refrigerator 1, and the liquid helium heater 62 and the liquid helium temperature sensor 61 adopt PID closed-loop control to accurately control the temperature.
