Les disques de Bitter sont classiquement empilés avec inter¬ position d'isolant et comportent tous la même configuration de trous pour définir un faisceau de canaux parallèles à l'axe longitudinal de l'aimant, dans lesquels on fait circuler le fluide de refroidissement. ... Bien entendu, les disques de transition précités comportent la même configuration de trous pour assurer la continuité du circuit de refroidissement à l'intérieur de toutes les bobines en série. Selon un mode de réalisation possible, le disque de transition peut comporter un décrochement sur chacune de ses faces, la hauteur de ce décro- chement correspondant au pas d'hélice de la bobine se raccordant à cette face. Selon une autre possibilité, le disque de transition peut avoir une épaisseur du même ordre de grandeur que celle des disques des bobines adjacentes et plus particulièrement constituer lui-même une ou quelques spires d'épaisseur régulièrement variable, les épais¬ seurs des deux extrémités de cette ou ces spires étant respec¬ tivement égales aux épaisseurs de spire des deux bobines ajacentes.Bitter discs are conventionally stacked with insulating position and all have the same configuration of holes to define a bundle of channels parallel to the longitudinal axis of the magnet, in which the coolant is circulated. ... Of course, the aforementioned transition discs have the same configuration of holes to ensure the continuity of the cooling circuit inside all the coils in series. According to one possible embodiment, the transition disc may include a step on each of its faces, the height of this step correspondingly to the helix pitch of the coil connecting to this face. According to another possibility, the transition disc can have a thickness of the same order of magnitude as that of the discs of the adjacent coils and more particularly constitute itself one or a few turns of regularly variable thickness, the thicknesses of the two ends of this or these turns being respec¬ tively equal to the thicknesses of turns of the two adjacent coils.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear better on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en coupe d'un aimant conforme au principe de l'invention ;- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of a magnet according to the principle of the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective d'un disque de transition de la figure 1 ;- Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of a transition disc of Figure 1;
- la figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective d'un autre mode de réalisation d'un disque de transition.- Figure 3 is a partial perspective view of another embodiment of a transition disc.
En se reportant aux dessins, on a représenté un aimant solénoîdal 11 à disques annulaires de Bitter 12, constitué de plu- sieurs bobines 13a, 14a, 15a, 16, 13b, 14b, 15b, accolées le long d'un axe longitudinal commun z'z. Pour( une application à l'imagerie par RMN, il est possible d'obtenir un champ magnétique d'homogénéité requise (1 à 10 ppm) dans une sphère d'intérêt de volume suffisant dont le centre O est confondu avec celui de l'aimant, si cet aimant est constitué par exemple de sept bobines de type Bitter, accolées le long de l'axe z'z, les longueurs et les épaisseurs de disque des différentes bobines étant choisies pour réaliser ladite homogénéité requise. En ce qui concerne les épaisseurs des disques, il est à noter que les disques des deux bobines adjacentes quelconques sont d'é¬ paisseurs différentes, mais que les disques de deux bobines symé¬ triques par rapport au plan transversal médian passant par O (13a- 13b, 14a-14b, 15a-15b) sont de même épaisseur. Un mode de calcul possible des caractéristiques des bobines de l'aimant est indiqué dans une autre demande de brevet n° 84-19192 déposée par la Deman- deresse et ne fait pas partie de l'invention présentement décrite. On entend par bobine de type Bitter toute bobine répondant à la définition rappelée ci-dessus. A ce titre, les disques 12, quelles que soient leurs épaisseurs, comportent une même configuration de trous 18 matérialisant un ensemble de canaux 19 parallèles à l'axe z'z et dans lesquels circule le fluide de refroidissement. Les disques 12, fendus radialement, sont connectés bout à bout et maintenus en un empilage serré au moyen d'une pluralité de tirants 20 régulièrement répartis sur une surface cylindrique d'axe z'z. De minces feuillesReferring to the drawings, there is shown a solenoid magnet 11 with annular discs of Bitter 12, consisting of several coils 13a, 14a, 15a, 16, 13b, 14b, 15b, joined along a common longitudinal axis z 'z. For ( an application to NMR imaging, it is possible to obtain a magnetic field of required homogeneity (1 to 10 ppm) in a sphere of interest of sufficient volume whose center O is coincident with that of the magnet, if this magnet consists for example of seven coils of the Bitter type, joined along the axis z'z, the lengths and thicknesses of disc of the different coils being chosen to achieve said required homogeneity. thicknesses of the discs, it should be noted that the discs of any two adjacent coils are of different thicknesses, but that the discs of two coils symmetrical relative to the median transverse plane passing through O (13a- 13b, 14a- 14b, 15a-15b) are of the same thickness. A possible method of calculating the characteristics of the magnet coils is indicated in another patent application No. 84-19192 filed by the Applicant. deresse and is not part of the invention presently described. The term “Bitter” type coil means any coil corresponding to the definition mentioned above. As such, the discs 12, whatever their thickness, have the same configuration of holes 18 embodying a set of channels 19 parallel to the axis z'z and in which the cooling fluid circulates. The radially split discs 12 are connected end to end and held in a tight stack by means of a plurality of tie rods 20 regularly distributed over a cylindrical surface of axis z'z. Thin leaves
10 isolantes (non visibles sur les dessins) sont intercalées entre les disques pour assurer l'isolation entre spires ; elles comportent la même configuration de trous matérialisant les canaux.10 insulators (not visible in the drawings) are interposed between the discs to provide insulation between turns; they have the same configuration of holes materializing the channels.

En effet, un empilement de disques de Bitter de même épaisseur aboutit à une structure rectiligne mais un changement m-Q d'épaisseur pourrait se traduire par un empilage non rectiligne et/ou présentant des irrégularités de bobinage voire des fuites de fluide de refroidissement. Tous ces défauts sont évités par la présence des disques de transition définis ci-dessus. Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, chaque disque de transition se présente sous formeIndeed, a stack of Bitter discs of the same thickness results in a rectilinear structure but a change m- Q in thickness could result in a non-rectilinear stacking and / or having irregularities in winding or even leakage of cooling fluid. All these faults are avoided by the presence of the transition discs defined above. According to the embodiment of Figure 2, each transition disc is in the form
25 d'un plateau annulaire métallique (cuivre ou aluminium) peu épais, de l'ordre de quelques spires de l'aimant, et comportant une fente 21 pour définir une spire. Ce plateau comporte un décrochement 23a, 23b sur chacune de ses faces, respectivement, de part et d'autre de la fente 21 et dont la hauteur correspond au pas d'hélice de la bobine25 of a metallic annular plate (copper or aluminum) not very thick, of the order of a few turns of the magnet, and comprising a slot 21 to define a turn. This plate has a recess 23a, 23b on each of its faces, respectively, on either side of the slot 21 and whose height corresponds to the pitch of the coil
30 se raccordant à cette face. L'extrémité de chaque bobine est soudée sur toute la partie située entre le décrochement correspondant et la fente 21, la surface du plateau située de l'autre côté de cette fente étant recouverte d'une mince feuille isolante 16. Avantageusement, la fente 21 est remplie de résine isolante (colle poly érisable) ce qui restitue une certaine rigidité au disque de transition et facilite le montage des bobines de l'aimant. D'autre part, le disque de transition comporte aussi la même configuration de trous 18a que les disques de Bitter 12 des différentes bobines, pour le refroidis¬ sement, ainsi qu'une série de trous 24 de plus grand diamètre, pour le passage des tirants. La présence des disques de transition est prise en considération dans les calculs de l'aimant. D'autre part, il peut être avantageux de réaliser des disques de transition aussi peu épais que possible. Dans cet esprit, le mode de réalisation de la figure 3 concrétise le cas limite lorsqu'on cherche à diminuer l'épaisseur du disque de transition. Il s'agit d'un disque métallique 25 (cuivre ou aluminium) comportant une fente radiale 26 le trans¬ formant en une spire et l'épaisseur de cette spire est régulièrement variable de façon que les épaisseurs a et b de ces deux - extrémités 27a, 27b soient respectivement égales aux épaisseurs de disque des deux bobines adjacentes. Chacune des extrémités 27a, 27b comporte en outre un embrevement.28 permettant un raccordement soudé au disque adjacent de la bobine correspondante, lequel comporte un embrevement complémentaire. Bien entendu, les disques de tran¬ sition 25 comportent la même configuration de trous que dans le cas de la figure 2. D'autre part, en se reportant à nouveau à la figure 1, on note que l'ensemble de l'aimant est serré, par les tirants, entre deux plateaux de répartition de courant 29a et 29b. Ces plateaux sont en forme de disque annulaire épais et ont le même diamètre intérieur et extérieur que les disques 12. L'une des faces de chaque plateau comporte un décrochement 30 ayant une hauteur sensi¬ blement égale à l'épaisseur de disque de la bobine voisine 13a ou 13b. 30 connecting to this face. The end of each coil is welded over the entire part located between the corresponding recess and the slot 21, the surface of the plate located on the other side of this slot being covered with a thin insulating sheet 16. Advantageously, the slot 21 is filled with insulating resin (poly erisable glue) this which restores a certain rigidity to the transition disc and facilitates the mounting of the magnet coils. On the other hand, the transition disc also has the same configuration of holes 18a as the Bitter discs 12 of the different coils, for cooling, as well as a series of holes 24 of larger diameter, for the passage of the tie rods. The presence of the transition discs is taken into account in the magnet calculations. On the other hand, it may be advantageous to make transition discs as thin as possible. With this in mind, the embodiment of FIG. 3 gives concrete form to the limit case when it is sought to reduce the thickness of the transition disc. It is a metal disc 25 (copper or aluminum) having a radial slot 26 transforming it into a turn and the thickness of this turn is regularly variable so that the thicknesses a and b of these two ends 27a, 27b are respectively equal to the disc thicknesses of the two adjacent coils. Each of the ends 27a, 27b further comprises an element 28 allowing a welded connection to the adjacent disc of the corresponding coil, which comprises a complementary element. Of course, the tran¬ sition discs 25 have the same configuration of holes as in the case of Figure 2. On the other hand, referring again to Figure 1, it is noted that the entire magnet is clamped, by the tie rods, between two current distribution plates 29a and 29b. These plates are in the form of a thick annular disk and have the same internal and external diameter as the disks 12. One of the faces of each plate has a recess 30 having a height substantially equal to the thickness of the disk of the coil. neighbor 13a or 13b.
