- the winding drum 11 of the drum 10 When the temperature of the cable core 100 is raised, the winding drum 11 of the drum 10 is in a state where the winding drum 11 has become smaller due to thermal contraction (a reduced diameter state).
- the core 100 can be prevented from being damaged by being pressed by the winding drum 11 without being in contact with the core. Therefore, when raising the temperature of the test object, the temperature of the core 100 is first raised.
- the core 100 includes a former 101 made of a normal conducting material such as copper or a copper alloy, the Joule heat of the former 101 can be used for heating the core 100.

Since the heater is a member independent of the core 100, it is easy to connect the lead wires 220, and the workability is excellent. In addition, the heating time can be shortened by increasing the current-carrying capacity of the heater or using a heater that generates a large amount of heat. When using a heater that generates a large amount of heat, the heater will not burn out even if the energizing current is increased.
- the outer diameter of the winding drum 11 is reduced, so that the core 100 and the wound core 100 are wound. There is a gap between the drum 11 and the winding drum 11 is not substantially tightened.

Can do. From this point, it is easier to prevent the core 100 from being damaged.
- the core 100 when the temperature is increased after the measurement is completed, the core 100 is thermally expanded by increasing the temperature of the cable core 100 before the winding drum 11 of the drum 10 contrary to the cooling. In this case, the winding drum 11 is still at a low temperature and is in a reduced diameter state. Therefore, this embodiment can effectively prevent the core 100 from being damaged by being in contact with the winding drum 11 that has expanded during the thermal expansion of the core 100. Since the gap is provided between the core 100 and the winding drum 11 when the winding drum 11 is thermally expanded due to the temperature rise, the core 100 can be prevented from being damaged in this case as well. In particular, if the core 100 is heated using the Joule heat of the former 101, the former 101 that substantially defines the amount of thermal expansion of the core 100 can be heated efficiently. In particular, when the temperature of the core 100 is increased using a heater, the temperature increase rate of the core 100 can be easily increased.
- vertical storage allows the size of the bottom surface of the cooling container 1 to be sized according to the diameters of the flanges 12A and 12B of the drum 10.
- the main body 2 of the cooling container 1 only needs to have a size such that the diameter of the bottom is slightly larger than the diameter of the other flange 12B.
- the vertical storage can reduce the size of the cooling container 1, particularly the installation area, compared to the horizontal storage, and the cooling container 1 can be downsized.
- the cooling container 1 that houses the cable core 100 needs to have a volume including the drum 10 and is large. If the cooling container 1 is large, the amount of refrigerant charged in the cooling container 1 also increases, leading to an increase in filling time. An increase in the filling time may lead to an increase in the test time including the filling time. Furthermore, an increase in the amount of refrigerant causes an increase in test costs. Therefore, when the drum 10 and the cooling container 1 are stored, it is desirable to make the cooling container 1 as small as possible. In the vertical storage configuration, in addition to the above-described downsizing, it is possible to shorten the filling time of the liquid refrigerant 2L and reduce the cost by reducing the amount of refrigerant.

- the long material 11L is detachable with respect to the flange 12A, and there are at least two attachment positions for the flange 12A, a large diameter position and a small diameter position.
- the large diameter position is the attachment position of each long material 11L corresponding to the winding diameter when the cable core 100 is wound around the winding drum 11 at room temperature
- the small diameter position is the winding diameter of the core 100 that has cooled and contracted. It is the attachment position of each long material 11L corresponding to.
- Both the large-diameter position and the small-diameter position are configured by arranging a plurality of long material 11L attachment portions on the circumference.
- the relaxed structure is configured by changing the diameter of the winding drum 11 by changing the long material 11L between the large diameter position and the small diameter position.
- screw connection can be suitably used.
- a male screw is formed at the tip of the round bar, and a female screw corresponding to the male screw is formed in the flange portion 12A. Then, the long material 11L can be freely attached to and detached from the flange 12A by fitting and removing the round bar from the flange 12A.
- the collar portion 12A can typically use a torus. If the outer diameter of the flange portion 12A is larger than the outer diameter of the turn formed by the cable core 100, the end face of the turn can be held by the flange portion 12A as in the first embodiment, and the core 100 can be easily prevented from collapsing. Further, as described above, attachment portions of the long material 11L constituting the winding drum 11 are formed on the flange portion 12A at the large diameter position and the small diameter position.

The same can be done.
- the constituent material of the constituent members of the drum 10A can be an iron-based alloy such as high carbon steel or stainless steel. Since the iron-based alloy has a smaller linear expansion coefficient than copper and copper alloy as described above, a cable core 100 having a former 101 (FIG. 10) made of copper or copper alloy is wound around a drum having no relaxation structure. When cooled, excessive stress may act on the core 100 due to thermal contraction of the core 100. On the other hand, in the drum 10A of the present example having the relaxation structure, the excessive stress is generated by changing the outer peripheral contour diameter of the winding drum 11 itself regardless of the linear expansion coefficient of the material constituting the drum 10A.

What is done.
- the drum 10A is made of such a material, when the cable core 100 is cooled, the outer peripheral contour diameter of the winding drum becomes smaller than the reduction amount of the winding diameter, so that there is a gap between the core 100 and the winding drum 11. It is possible to prevent excessive stress from acting on the core 100 by this gap.
- Aluminum, magnesium, and their alloys have a higher thermal shrinkage than the constituent materials of former 101 (copper, etc.), and (1) are lightweight and can reduce the weight of the test object.

Un cœur de câble (100) équipé d'une couche de conducteur supraconducteur et enroulé sur un tambour (10) est préparé comme sujet d'essai. Le sujet d'essai est logé dans un contenant de refroidissement (1), et des caractéristiques sur toute la longueur du cœur (100) sont étudiées pendant que la couche de conducteur supraconducteur est refroidie par un réfrigérant liquide (2L) remplissant le contenant de refroidissement (1) et qu'un état supraconducteur est maintenu. Le cœur est refroidi dans un état dans lequel une autorisation d'échappement pour la contraction thermique du diamètre d'enroulement qui accompagne le refroidissement du cœur (100) est formée sur l'intérieur de spires réalisées par le cœur (100). En raison de l'autorisation d'échappement, un tambour d'enroulement (11) n'est pas aisément serré même lorsqu'une contraction thermique du cœur (100) se produit, et on peut empêcher un endommagement du cœur (100).
