Fig . l is a structural schematic diagram of a schematic embodiment of a suspension apparatus for a superconducting magnet . As shown in fig. 1 , the suspension apparatus 100 for a superconducting magnet comprises a support tray 10 and two suspension assemblies 20. Fig . 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the support tray of the suspension apparatus shown in fig. 1. As shown in figs. 1 and 2 , the support tray 10 takes the form of a j oined-ring body composed of two ring shapes . The support tray 10 comprises two annular parts 12 corresponding to the two ring shapes , with a mounting part 15 being disposed on each annular part 12. In this schematic em bodiment, the two annular parts 12 are arranged in a mirror- image fashion relative to a plane of symmetry Q, the mirror- image arrangement being more favourable for the balancing of forces borne, but there is no restriction to this . A through- hole 11 is provided at the center of the ring shape of each annular part 12. Each suspension assembly 20 passes through one annular part 12 via one through-hole 11 ; one end thereof, passing out of the through-hole 11 , is connected to one mounting part 15, another end being used for connecting a cryogenic apparatus of a superconducting magnet .

In this schematic embodiment, the support tray 10 is pro vided with two annular parts 12 and two mounting parts 15, and the suspension apparatus is provided with two suspension assemblies 20. However, there is no restriction to this ; in other schematic embodiments , only one annular part 12 may be provided, i.e. the support tray 10 only has one through-hole 11 , and two or more suspension assemblies 20 may pass through this one through-hole 11 at the same time . In other schematic embodiments , the quantities of mounting part ( s ) 15 and sus pension assembly (assemblies ) 20 may be adjusted as required, and for example may be greater than two .

In this schematic embodiment, the support tray 10 takes the form of a oined-ring body, but is not restricted to this ; in other schematic embodiments , the shape thereof may be adj usted as required .

In this schematic embodiment, a threaded hole 151 runs through each mounting part 15. Each suspension assembly 20 is connected to the mounting part 15 via one threaded hole 151. An axis of the threaded hole 151 is arranged at a slant rela tive to the plane of symmetry Q ; the angle of slant thereof may be adj usted as required . This structure is convenient to install and adj ust . However, there is no restriction to this ; in other schematic embodiments , the suspension assembly 20 may be connected to the mounting part 15 in a different way .

In this schematic embodiment, each suspension assembly 20 comprises a tensioning member 30, a pulling member 40 and a suspension member 50. The tensioning member 30 is fixed to the mounting part 15 via one threaded hole 151, and a fixing position thereof relative to the mounting part 15 can be ad justed in a direction parallel to the axis of the threaded hole 151. The pulling member 40 has a first pulling part 41 and a second pulling part 42. The pulling member 40 passes through the annular part 12 via one through-hole 11 , with the first pulling part 41 and the second pulling part 42 being located at two sides of the through-hole 11 respectively . The first pulling part 41 is connected to the tensioning member 30, and configured to apply to the tensioning member 30 a pulling force in a direction parallel to the axis of the threaded hole 151. The second pulling part 42 is connected to the suspension member 50 , and configured to apply a pulling force to the suspension member 50. The pulling forces applied by the pulling member 40 to the tensioning member 30 and the suspension member 50 are in opposite directions , to facili tate the balancing of forces . This structure is convenient to install and ad ust . However, there is no restriction to this .

Referring to fig. 7 , when the suspension apparatus 100 is in use, the support tray 10 is connected in a fixed manner to a vacuum container 200, and the suspension members 50 of the two suspension assemblies 20 are connected in a fixed manner to a cryogenic apparatus 300. By adj usting the fixing posi tion of the tensioning member 30 on the support tray 10 , the degree of tensioning of the pulling member 40 can be adj ust- ed, in order to suspend the cryogenic apparatus 300. Each suspension apparatus 100 may provide two suspending forces for the cryogenic apparatus 300 via one pair of suspension assemblies 20. Thus , the function of two existing suspension apparatuses is realized by one suspension apparatus 100, and installation can thereby be facilitated .

In a schematic embodiment, the threaded hole 151 is dis posed in a hole wall of the through-hole 11 , and the axis of the threaded hole 151 can pass through the through-hole 11. Space can thereby be saved .

Fig . 3 is a schematic exploded view of the tensioning member of the suspension apparatus shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3 , in this schematic embodiment, each tensioning mem- ber 30 comprises a tensioning bolt 31 and an abutment member 33. The tensioning bolt 31 is connected by screw-thread to one mounting part 15 via the threaded hole 151. One end of the tensioning bolt 31 is rotatably connected to the abutment member 33 , and a rotation axis overlaps with an axis of the tensioning bolt 31. The first pulling part 41 is connected to the abutment member 33. Thus , the fixing position of the ten sioning member 30 relative to the mounting part 15 can be ad justed by turning the tensioning bolt 31 , without affecting the angle of the abutment member 33. This structure is sim ple, and is convenient to machine and operate .

In a schematic embodiment, each tensioning member 30 fur ther comprises a lock nut 35. The lock nut 35 is connected by screw-thread to the tensioning bolt 31 , and can abut the mounting part 15. Thus , once the position of the tensioning bolt 31 has been chosen, the position of the tensioning bolt 31 relative to the mounting part 15 can be locked by means of the lock nut 35, preventing loosening during use .

In this schematic embodiment, the pulling member 40 is a rigid pull ring . The first pulling part 41 and the second pulling part 42 are both arc-shaped . The pulling member 40 further comprises two linear parts 43, which connect the first pulling part 41 and the second pulling part 42 to en close a ring in the shape of an athletic track . The abutment member 33 has a first arc-shaped end face 331 corresponding to the shape of the first pulling part 41. The first pulling part 41 abuts the first arc-shaped end face 331 , in order to apply a pulling force to the abutment member 33. The suspen sion member 50 has a second arc-shaped end face 51 corre sponding to the shape of the second pulling part 42. The sec ond pulling part 42 abuts the second arc-shaped end face 51 , in order to apply a pulling force to the suspension member 50. Being acted upon by forces through contact with the arc shaped end faces , the arc-shaped first pulling part 41 and second pulling part 42 can adapt to slight ad ustments to a pulling force direction and reduce tension .

As shown in fig. 3 , in a schematic embodiment, the abut ment member 33 has a blind hole 332. One end of the tension- ing bolt 31 is rotatably inserted in the blind hole 332. This structure is simple, and is convenient to machine .

Fig . 4 is a structural schematic diagram of another sche matic embodiment of a suspension apparatus for a supercon ducting magnet . The identical features shared by the suspen sion apparatus of this schematic embodiment and the suspen sion apparatus shown in fig. 1 are not repeated here ; the structures of the suspension apparatus of this schematic em bodiment which differ from the suspension apparatus shown in fig. 1 are described below .

In this schematic embodiment, the pulling member 40 is a pull rod . The first pulling part 41 and second pulling part 42 are located at two ends of the pull rod respectively . As shown in fig. 5, the tensioning bolt 31 has a central hole 311 arranged to run through along the axis of the tensioning bolt . The abutment member 33 is disposed at one end of the central hole 311 and forms a spherical-surface sliding fit with the tensioning bolt 31 , in order to adapt to slight ad justments to a pulling force direction . The pulling member 40 passes through the tensioning bolt 31 via the central hole 311, and the first pulling part 41 is connected to the abut ment member 33.

As shown in fig. 6, in this schematic embodiment, the suspension member 50 has an engagement slot 52. The pulling member 40 passes through the suspension member 50 along the engagement slot 52. The suspension assembly 20 further com prises an end washer 60 , which is connected to the second pulling part 42 and forms a spherical-surface sliding fit with the suspension member 50 , in order to adapt to slight ad ustments to a pulling force direction . The pulling member 40 can move out of the engagement slot 52 in a direction per pendicular to the axis of the threaded hole 151 ; installation can thereby be facilitated .

In a schematic embodiment, the support tray 10 is inte grally formed, so the structure thereof is more stable .

Fig . 7 is a structural schematic diagram intended to il lustrate a schematic embodiment of a superconducting magnet . Fig . 8 is a structural schematic diagram, shown along an axis g of a connection surface, intended to illustrate the super conducting magnet shown in fig. 7. As shown in figs. 7 and 8, the superconducting magnet comprises a vacuum container 200, a cryogenic apparatus 300 and a suspension apparatus 100 as shown in fig. 1. The vacuum container 200 has an accommodat ing cavity 201. The cryogenic apparatus 300 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 201. The support tray 10 of the sus pension apparatus 100 is connected in a fixed manner to an outer surface of the vacuum container 200. Each suspension assembly 20 passes through the vacuum container 200 and the suspension member 50 thereof is connected in a fixed manner to the cryogenic apparatus 300. By adjusting the fixing posi tion of the tensioning member 30 on the support tray 10 , the degree of tensioning of the pulling member 40 can be adj ust- ed, in order to suspend the cryogenic apparatus 300. One sus pension apparatus 100 of the superconducting magnet may pro vide two suspending forces for the cryogenic apparatus 300 via one pair of suspension assemblies 20. Thus , the function of two existing suspension apparatuses is realized by one suspension apparatus 100, and installation can thereby be fa cilitated .

In other schematic embodiments , the suspension apparatus 100 could also be the suspension apparatus 100 shown in fig.

4.

In a schematic embodiment, the superconducting magnet further comprises a bracket 400. The bracket 400 is connected in a fixed manner to the outer surface of the vacuum contain er 200 and to the support tray 10 , and is arranged around the support tray 10. The connection of the support tray 10 can thereby be made more stable .

In a schematic embodiment, the cryogenic apparatus 300 has a connection surface 301 in the form of an outer cylin drical surface . The two suspension assemblies 20 are arranged in a mirror-image fashion with respect to a first plane a perpendicular to the axis g of the connection surface ; the plane of symmetry Q overlaps with the first plane a. Thus , the resultant force of the two suspending forces applied to the cryogenic apparatus 300 by each suspension apparatus 100 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connection surface 301, in order to facilitate the balancing of suspend ing forces .

As shown in fig. 8, in a schematic embodiment, the super conducting magnet is provided with four suspension apparatus es 100. Two of the suspension apparatuses 100 form a first suspension apparatus set, and the other two suspension appa ratuses 100 form a second suspension apparatus set . The first suspension apparatus set and second suspension apparatus set are arranged in a mirror-image fashion relative to a second plane b in which the axis g of the connection surface lies . The two suspension apparatuses 100 of the first suspension apparatus set are arranged in a mirror-image fashion relative to a third plane d in which the axis g of the connection sur face lies . The second plane b is perpendicular to the third plane d . Thus , the four suspension apparatuses 100 can achieve the balancing of suspending forces more easily .

The present invention further provides a magnetic reso nance imaging device, comprising the superconducting magnet described above . One suspension apparatus 100 of the super conducting magnet may provide two suspending forces for the cryogenic apparatus 300 via one pair of suspension assemblies 20. Thus , the function of two existing suspension apparatuses is realized by one suspension apparatus 100, and installation can thereby be facilitated .
