Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of strain gauge means of superconducting magnet.
Background technology
Large-scale fusion superconducting magnet system has the characteristics that electric current is big, field intensity is high, energy storage is big usually when operation.Because the interaction in electric current and magnetic field, huge electromagnetic force may produce local train and concentrate, local big strain will cause epoxy resin to break, the mechanical disturbance that is brought will cause superconducting magnet quench under extremely low electric current and epoxy resin breaks, do not reach the practical design requirement, also will cause the damage of superconducting magnet under the serious situation, thereby produce enormous economic loss.Therefore, the mechanical stress strain analysis is the important part of SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET DESIGN.At present, the ess-strain problem that adopts finite element (FE) method research superconducting magnet under various operating modes, (, to lower the temperature excitation etc.) usually as pretension.In addition, before the superconducting magnet system operation, in conjunction with the FE analysis result, also must the strain of strain gauge means with the various structured materials of accurate measurement be installed in big ess-strain position, to monitor the stressing conditions of magnet under various operating modes, determine the security of magnet structure, and check the precision of mechanical ess-strain FEM (finite element) calculation.
Resistance strain gage is because volume is little, can be under the strong magnetic environment of low temperature operate as normal, principle is simple, measures advantages such as intuitive and convenient, thereby is applied to the strain measurement of large-scale fusion superconducting magnet widely.As the EAST tokamak of China, the KASTAR tokamak of Korea S etc. has all adopted resistance strain gage to measure strain.Yet the sensitivity of resistance strain gage changes with the variation in temperature and magnetic field, promptly so-called temperature effect and magnetoresistance.How eliminating the influence of temperature effect and magnetoresistance, is the key of utilizing resistance strain gage accurately to measure.Usually, before using resistance strain gage, resistance strain gage is proofreaied and correct experiment, obtain the matched curve that concerns between strain gage testing strain and temperature and the magnetic field intensity, thereby provide reference for the measurement of resistance strain gage under the strong magnetic environment of low temperature.Yet, to proofread and correct experiment and build complexity, cost is big, and proofreading and correct as a result, precision is difficult to guarantee.At present, extensively adopt dummy gauge to eliminate the temperature effect and the magnetoresistance of working strain gauge, as document [JingQian, Peide Weng, Jiarong Luo, Zhuomin Chen, and Yu Wu.Measurement System in Large-ScaleSuperconducting Magnet Performance Test.IEEE Trans.Appl.Supercond., vol.20, NO.5,2010.pp2312-2316] described.Yet present strain gauge means adopts three-wire system to connect usually, is subjected to the influence of lead self-resistance bigger.In addition, strain gauge means is subjected to the influence of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and self-heating also bigger.These disturbing factors all will influence the measuring accuracy of strain gauge means.Therefore, must develop that influenced by temperature effect and magnetoresistance little, the strain gauge means that antijamming capability is strong.

Described working strain gauge sticks on the stainless steel armor surface of superconducting magnet, is used for the strain of Measurement of Superconducting Magnet.For temperature effect and the magnetoresistance of eliminating working strain gauge, compensation block has been installed near working strain gauge.Compensation block is approximately L shaped shape, is fixed on the stainless steel armor surface of superconducting magnet, and the surface, long limit of L shaped compensation block is parallel with the stainless steel armor surface of superconducting magnet.Lower surface on L shaped compensation block length limit has been pasted dummy gauge.The position of dummy gauge and the position of working strain gauge be symmetry up and down, and the vertical range up and down between dummy gauge and the working strain gauge is very little, makes dummy gauge approximate identical with the magnetic field intensity of working strain gauge position.Compensation block adopts stainless steel material to make, and is identical with the armor material of superconducting magnet.In order to make dummy gauge approximate identical, on the compensation block, except that the surface that is pasted with dummy gauge, on the remaining surface of compensation block, all be coated with copper film with the temperature of working strain gauge.Because the good heat conductive characteristic of copper, the temperature difference between dummy gauge and the working strain gauge will be dwindled.In addition, radome also has been installed around compensation block, working strain gauge and dummy gauge.Radome adopts aluminum to make, and is rectangular shape.Radome not only can weaken the influence of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to working strain gauge and dummy gauge, can also play mechanical protection to compensation block, working strain gauge and dummy gauge.
Described working strain gauge and dummy gauge are resistance strain gage.Aspect being electrically connected of strain gauge means of the present invention, work strain sheet resistance and compensate for strain sheet resistance insert adjacent two brachium pontis of electric bridge respectively, insert the first fixing fixing arm resistance of arm resistance and second on two other brachium pontis of electric bridge respectively, described four brachium pontis have constituted 1/4 bridge diagram.Because working strain gauge and the residing temperature magnetic field environment of dummy gauge are basic identical, the resistance value of pyromagnetic resistance of working strain gauge and the pyromagnetic resistance of dummy gauge is in full accord, and in 1/4 bridge diagram, subtract each other and be eliminated owing to symmetry, be the disturbing effect that working strain gauge has been avoided the pyromagnetic resistance of working strain gauge, the strain that working strain gauge is surveyed is entirely the strain that superconducting magnet institute location is put.
