2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of connecting the ends of two superconducting conductors each of which is composed of a large number of superconducting wires, there are connections by soldering, solid phase diffusion and the like. The method of connecting by soldering is generally to solder the conductor end portion to a copper plate and bond the copper plates to each other with solder. According to this method,
When a current flows from one conductor to the other conductor at the connection portion, it causes Joule heat generation due to solder resistance or contact resistance, or causes current attenuation.

The solid-phase diffusion connection method is effective when heat generation or current attenuation at the connection portion is not allowed. FIG. 15 shows a perspective view of a conventional solid-phase diffusion connection device. That is, first, the end portion of the superconducting conductor 2 is etched, the base material of the superconducting wire is melted, and the filament 3 of the superconducting conductor is exposed. A stranded conductor consists of many strands, but generally when joining strands together,
It is known that the superconducting properties deteriorate as the number of strands increases.

Therefore, a copper housing 4 acting as a conductor connecting jig and a stabilizing copper is formed in a comb shape to provide a plurality of grooves, and the filaments 3 at the ends of the conductors 1 and 2 are evenly arranged according to the number of grooves. Divide and store. Thus, after the ends of the conductor 1 and the conductor 2 are housed in the copper housing 4, the comb-shaped stainless steel pressing member 5 restrains the copper housing 4 from spreading laterally, and the pressing member 5 is used in a vacuum atmosphere. Pressure is applied in the direction of arrow 6 and heating is performed by a heater so that the wires are solid-phase diffused and connected.

In this case, as the number of strands increases, the size in the lateral direction increases, but there is a spatial limitation. Therefore, the above-mentioned structures are stacked in several stages, and these are collectively pressed and pressed. Heat and connect by solid phase diffusion. According to this connection method, the contact resistance between the filaments is zero and the superconductors are directly connected to each other, so that a connection portion without heat generation can be formed.

However, when the ends of the two conductors are connected by the above-mentioned connection method by solid phase diffusion, the connection has a value obtained by multiplying the critical current of the wires by the number of wires. If the current does not reach this level, it will undergo normal conduction transition. This critical current is considered as follows.

Usually, since there are many wires to be connected, it is necessary to increase the number of grooves in the copper housing according to the number of wires. Therefore, the grooves are not uniformly pressed, and the joining state is different. Therefore, the critical current characteristics vary in each portion, and the superconducting characteristics of the entire connecting portion deteriorates from the value obtained by multiplying the critical current of the strand by the number.

Next, the connection between the ends of the two superconducting conductors using the copper housing 8 and the pressing member 11 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the groove 10 of the copper housing 8 and the convex portion 13 of the pushing member 11 are formed.
In such a state that they face each other, the superconducting element wires in which the filaments at the ends of the superconducting conductors 1 and 2 are exposed are provided in the conductor inserting hole of the copper housing 8 and the conductor inserting hole of the pushing member 11, respectively. Through insertion, the superconducting wires are distributed in the number of grooves 10 of the copper housing 8. Then, the filaments 14a and 14b to be connected, which are distributed according to the number of grooves, are accommodated in the respective grooves 10 of the copper housing 8 in an overlapping manner.

Next, the pushing member 11 is arranged in combination with the copper housing 8 so that the projection 13 thereof meshes with the groove 10, and a stainless steel guide tube 15 having an inner diameter equal to that of the housing is shown on the outer peripheral portion thereof in FIG. And pressurize it from above and below and heat it to filament 14a,
14b are joined by solid phase diffusion.

By connecting the ends of the superconducting conductors in this manner, the following effects can be obtained as compared with the conventional connection. That is, in the conventional connecting device, as shown in FIG. 15, the copper housing is constrained only in the lateral direction, and the force is insufficient. Therefore, the width becomes wider toward the outer groove, and the pushing member has one-sided contact or friction, which causes a lower step. The vertical load applied to the groove was decreased and the joining condition deteriorated. For this reason, the outer groove in the lower stage has a poor bonding state, and the critical current tends to decrease.

On the other hand, in the first embodiment, since the copper housing 8 which is axisymmetric and has no end is used, the specific groove does not spread when the pressure is applied. Also, the guide tube 1
5 is a cylindrical shape, and is made of a copper housing 8 and a pushing member 11.
Since it is constrained from all directions, it is possible to prevent the pushing member 11 from hitting one side. Further, the inside of the housing functions as a passage for a coolant such as liquid helium, which contributes to effective cooling.

In general, in a superconducting coil, the magnetic field experienced by the conductor is perpendicular to the conductor. Therefore, the superconducting filaments joined in this example are in the same plane as the magnetic field. Therefore, even if the superconducting coil is rapidly demagnetized, it is difficult for the superconducting filament of this embodiment to be electrically coupled, and it is possible to suppress the loss.
