Annular valve bodies (first valve body 161A and second valve body 161B) are configured to open and close the valves.
- the opening area of the valve can be increased without increasing the size of the entire apparatus including the pipes (the suction pipe 310 and the delivery pipe 320). .
- production of a cavitation can be suppressed, without enlarging an apparatus (the whole apparatus including piping).
- first valve body 161A and the second valve body 161B are configured to open and open the valve while receiving the pressure of fluid flowing radially outward and horizontally from the central axis side of the shaft member 120. Therefore, compared with a check valve (for example, a poppet valve) that opens and closes the valve by fluid flowing in the vertical direction, the valve opening and closing response is excellent.
- a check valve for example, a poppet valve
- both the first check valve 160A and the second check valve 160B are arranged on the opposite side (lower side) to the shaft member 120 with respect to the linear actuator 110. Accordingly, the first check valve 160A and the second check valve 160B can be easily assembled without being obstructed by the linear actuator 110. In addition, it is easy to secure a wide space for arranging the first check valve 160A and the second check valve 160B, and it is easy to increase the opening area of these valves.
- the diameter of the valve opening / closing portion in the first valve body 161A and the diameter of the valve opening / closing portion in the second valve body 161B are the same.
- the opening / closing periods of the valves of the first valve body 161A and the second valve body 161B can be easily equalized.
- the discharge capability by the 1st pump chamber P1 and the discharge capability by the 2nd pump chamber P2 can be made equivalent easily. Therefore, pulsation can be more effectively suppressed.
- a configuration is adopted in which the outside of the system main body 100, the suction pipe 310, and the delivery pipe 320 is evacuated to provide a heat insulating function. Further, in this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the sealed space formed by the first space K1, the second space K2, and the third space K3 is evacuated to have a heat insulating function. However, it is also possible to maintain the temperature of the fluid flowing through the circulation flow path at a low temperature by flowing an ultra-low temperature liquid in these spaces.

図1~図6を参照して、本発明の実施例に係る液体供給システムについて説明する。本実施例に係る液体供給システムは、例えば、超電導機器を超低温状態に維持させるために好適に用いることができる。すなわち、超電導機器においては、超電導コイルなどを常時冷却させる必要がある。そこで、超電導コイルなどが備えられた被冷却装置に超低温の液体(液体窒素や液体ヘリウム)を常時供給することで、被冷却装置は常時冷却される。より具体的には、被冷却装置を通る循環流路を設け、かつ、この循環流路中に本実施例に係る液体供給システムを取り付けることにより、超低温の液体を循環させて、被冷却装置を常時冷却させることが可能となる。 (Example)
A liquid supply system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The liquid supply system according to the present embodiment can be suitably used, for example, to maintain the superconducting device in an ultra-low temperature state. That is, in a superconducting device, it is necessary to always cool a superconducting coil or the like. Therefore, the apparatus to be cooled is always cooled by always supplying an ultra-low temperature liquid (liquid nitrogen or liquid helium) to the apparatus to be cooled provided with a superconducting coil. More specifically, by providing a circulation flow path that passes through the apparatus to be cooled, and by attaching the liquid supply system according to the present embodiment in the circulation flow path, the ultra low temperature liquid is circulated to It becomes possible to always cool.
図1は本発明の実施例に係る液体供給システム全体の概略構成図であり、液体供給システム全体の概略構成を断面的に示した図である。本実施例に係る液体供給システム10は、液体供給システム本体(以下、システム本体100と称する)と、システム本体100が内部に設置される真空容器200と、配管(吸入管310及び送出管320)とを備えている。吸入管310及び送出管320は、いずれも真空容器200の外部から真空容器200の内部に入り込み、システム本体100に接続されている。真空容器200の内部は密閉されており、真空容器200の内部のうち、システム本体100,吸入管310及び送出管320の外側の空間は真空状態が維持されている。これにより、この空間は断熱機能を備えている。液体供給システム10は、通常、水平面上に設置される。液体供給システム10が設置された状態において、図1における上方が鉛直方向上方となり、図1における下方が鉛直方向下方となる。 <Overall configuration of liquid supply system>
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an entire liquid supply system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the entire liquid supply system in cross-section. The
液体供給システム全体の動作について説明する。リニアアクチュエータ110によって、軸部材120が下降する際においては、第1ベローズ141は縮み、第2ベローズ142は伸びる。このとき、第1ポンプ室P1の流体圧力は低くなるため、第1逆止弁160Aは弁が開き、第3逆止弁160Cは弁が閉じた状態となる。これにより、液体供給システム10の外部から吸入管310により送られる流体(矢印S10参照)は、吸入口130bから容器130内に吸入されて、第1逆止弁160Aを通り抜けていく(矢印S11参照)。そして、第1逆止弁160Aを通り抜けた流体は、容器130における胴体部130Xの内部の第1流路130Xcを通り、第1ポンプ室P1へと送られる。また、第2ポンプ室P2の流体圧力は高くなるため、第2逆止弁160Bは弁が閉じ、第4逆止弁160Dは弁が開いた状態となる。これにより、第2ポンプ室P2内の流体は、第4逆止弁160Dを通り抜けて(矢印T12参照)、胴体部130Xの内部の第2流路130Xdへと送られる。その後、流体は、送出口130cを通り、送出管320により液体供給システム10の外部へと送出される。 <Operation description of the entire liquid supply system>
The overall operation of the liquid supply system will be described. When the
特に、図2~図6を参照して、本実施例に係る逆止弁160について、より詳細に説明する。なお、第1逆止弁160A,第2逆止弁160B,第3逆止弁160C及び第4逆止弁160Dの構成、及びこれらの逆止弁を備える弁構造は基本的に同一である。図2は本発明の実施例に係る逆止弁の一部破断断面図であり、図中左側に中心軸線を含む面で切断した断面図を示している。図3は本発明の実施例に係る第1逆止弁及び第2逆止弁の付近を拡大した模式的断面図である。図4~図6は本実施例に係る逆止弁を備える弁構造の基本的な構成を示す模式的断面図である。なお、図4は逆止弁の弁が閉じた状態を示し、図5は逆止弁の弁が開いた状態を示し、図6は逆止弁における弁が閉じる途中の状態を示している。 <Check valve>
In particular, the
本実施例に係る液体供給システム10によれば、第1逆止弁160A及び第2逆止弁160Bは、容器130内に軸部材120と同軸上に配置されている。また、これら第1逆止弁160A及び第2逆止弁160Bは、いずれも、軸部材120の中心軸線側から径方向外側かつ水平方向に流れる流体の圧力を受けながら上昇して弁を開く円環状の弁体(第1弁体161A及び第2弁体161B)によって、弁を開閉するように構成されている。従って、容器に接続する管に逆止弁を設ける場合に比べて、配管(吸入管310及び送出管320)を含めた装置全体を大型化することなく、弁の開口面積を広くすることができる。これにより、装置(配管を含めた装置全体)を大型化することなく、キャビテーションの発生を抑制することができる。 <Excellent points of the liquid supply system according to this embodiment>
According to the
本実施例においては、真空容器200の内部のうち、システム本体100,吸入管310及び送出管320の外側を真空状態にして断熱機能を備えさせる構成を採用している。また、本実施例においては、第1空間K1と第2空間K2と第3空間K3により形成される密閉空間を真空状態にして断熱機能を備えさせる構成を採用している。しかしながら、これらの空間にも超低温液体を流すことで、循環流路を流れる流体の温度を低温に維持させることも可能である。 (Other)
