The application in the diathermy treatment aspect comprises the expanding of a steel pipe, the hot forging of a steel billet, the hot rolling and the extension processing of nonferrous metals such as copper, aluminum and the like; applications in industrial heat treatment include case hardening, diathermy hardening, tempering and stress relief, annealing and normalizing, weld annealing, powder metal sintering, and the like; applications in welding include metal tube welding, metal plate welding, and the like; applications of induction heating in metal smelting include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal smelting, casting, and the like.

The induction heating technology is applied to ferrous metal smelting and calendering processing industries in related fields, and the non-ferrous metal smelting and calendering processing industries are listed in six high-energy-consumption industries. According to statistics, the total amount of electric energy consumed by the induction heating equipment accounts for 1-5% of the total consumption of national electric energy, the total consumption of the electric energy in 2015 China is 59202.87 hundred million kilowatt hours, and the consumption of the induction heating equipment is 563.03-2960.14 million kilowatt hours. In the application of the current large and medium-sized induction heating equipment, the effective electric-heat conversion efficiency for heating steel is 50-60%; the effective electrothermal conversion efficiency of non-ferromagnetic workpieces such as copper, aluminum and the like is between 35 and 45 percent.

The principle of the traditional induction heating technology is Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and Joule-Lenz's law of current heat effect, alternating current generates an alternating magnetic field, the alternating magnetic field induces eddy currents in conductors, and the conductors are heated by the Joule heat of the eddy currents. A conventional induction heating system mainly includes an alternating power supply, an induction coil, a cooling system, and the like. Factors that affect the effective electrothermal conversion efficiency of the induction heating apparatus are joule heat loss in the coil and material characteristics of the heating workpiece and the coil. In the joule heat loss aspect of the coil, the induction coil is generally wound by conventional metal conductors such as copper wires or copper pipes, and the joule heat of the conductor itself is very large due to high frequency and large current, for example, the joule heat of the induction coil of the induction melting furnace accounts for more than 20% of the rated power of the induction furnace, and the proportion of the joule heat of the conductor itself is larger for induction heating equipment with few turns of the induction coil such as a welded pipe. For example, in the case of induction heating equipment in hot forging, metal working and deep processing lines, joule heat of the coil is removed by forced cooling water in the copper pipe or the coil cooling tank.

The principle of the novel superconducting induction heating technology is as follows: the superconductive main magnet of the direct current excitation produces the strong direct current magnetic field, and the work piece of aluminium matter or copper rotates in the direct current background magnetic field and cuts the magnetic line of force, and then forms the vortex in the work piece and produces joule heat and heat the work piece to technology temperature. The novel superconducting induction heating equipment mainly comprises a direct-current excitation power supply, a superconducting main magnetic system, a mechanical rotating system and the like. In the operation process of the novel superconducting induction heating equipment, induced current in a workpiece generates braking reverse torque which hinders rotation, mechanical energy is converted into heat energy through the action of electromagnetic induction, a direct-current-carrying superconducting coil in a superconducting main magnet system almost has no loss, the main loss of the superconducting coil is the loss of a low-temperature cooling system and the loss of a rotating motor, and the loss of the rotating motor is dominant in the high-power superconducting induction heating equipment, so that the efficiency of the novel superconducting induction heating equipment is expected to reach 80% -85%. In addition, the novel superconducting induction heating technology also has the advantages of uniform heating, good heating repeatability and no need of high-power reactive compensation.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the entire structure of a superconducting induction heating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the superconducting induction heating apparatus of the present application includes a magnetically permeable core 1, a superconducting coil (the superconducting coil is not shown in fig. 1), and a plurality of parallel-connected iron yokes 2. The magnetic conductive iron core 1 is formed by a plurality of sub-iron cores which are formed by cutting a columnar iron core along the longitudinal direction. The upper end of each sub-iron core is correspondingly provided with an upper magnetic conduction plate, and the lower end of each sub-iron core is correspondingly provided with a lower magnetic conduction plate; the superconducting coil surrounds the magnetic core 1 and is connected with an external power supply through a current lead so that the superconducting coil generates current and further generates a magnetic field; the iron yokes 2 are circumferentially distributed around the magnetic conductive iron core 1, the number of the iron yokes 2 is equal to that of the sub-iron cores, each iron yoke corresponds to one sub-iron core, the upper end face of each iron yoke 2 is connected with the upper magnetic conductive plate of the corresponding sub-iron core, and the lower end of each iron yoke 2 is connected with the lower magnetic conductive plate of the corresponding sub-iron core; and, each yoke is provided with an air gap 21, and the air gap 21 is used for placing the workpiece to be heated.

An external power supply can input current to the superconducting coil through the current lead, and the superconducting coil can generate a strong magnetic field by applying large current based on the non-resistance characteristic of the superconducting material. The magnetic conductive iron core 1 is positioned at the center of the superconducting coil and can play a magnetic conductive role, namely, each sub iron core 10 guides a strong magnetic field generated by the superconducting coil to be conducted to the iron yoke 2 corresponding to the sub iron core 10, so that a plurality of magnetic circuits connected in parallel are formed. After the current is applied to the superconducting coil, each sub-core 10 forms a closed magnetic path with the corresponding yoke 2.

By way of example, the person skilled in the art may also divide the magnetically permeable core 1 longitudinally into other numbers, such as an even number of 2, 4, 8, etc., and the corresponding number of the yokes 2 is also an even number of 2, 4, 8, etc., which is not limited in this application.

In this embodiment, the superconducting coil serves as a magnetic source, and may be a superconducting magnet formed by winding a YBCO superconducting wire cooled by a liquid nitrogen temperature zone in a solenoid configuration or a pancake configuration, and the configuration of the superconducting coil may also be a series-parallel structure of multiple solenoids or multiple pancake coils.

It is to be noted here that the design criteria regarding the magnetomotive force of the superconducting coil are as follows: the magnetomotive force of the superconducting coil should meet the magnetic induction requirements of the background magnetic field of the air gap 21. For example, the magnetomotive force of the superconducting coil can be obtained by multiplying the available space structural size of the superconducting induction heating apparatus of the present application and the number of turns constrained by the size of the superconducting wire and the critical current constrained by the operating temperature region of the superconducting coil and the magnetic field of the superconducting coil.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a magnetically permeable core according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the magnetically permeable core 1 is constituted by six divided cores 10 equally divided into a cylindrical core in the longitudinal direction. The upper end of each sub-core 10 is provided with an upper magnetic conducting plate 11, each upper magnetic conducting plate 11 is similar to a triangular plate in shape, the upper end of the whole magnetic conducting core 1 is provided with six upper magnetic conducting plates 11, and the six upper magnetic conducting plates 11 can be spliced into an integral regular polygon. The lower end of each sub-core 10 is provided with a lower magnetic conducting plate 12, each lower magnetic conducting plate 12 is similar to a triangular plate in shape, the upper end of the whole magnetic conducting core 1 is provided with six lower magnetic conducting plates 12, and the six lower magnetic conducting plates 12 can be spliced into an integral regular polygon. In this embodiment, the upper magnetic conductive plate 11 and the lower magnetic conductive plate 12 of each sub-core 10 are symmetrically arranged, and the six iron yokes 2 are also symmetrically arranged with the magnetic conductive core 1 as the center, so that the formed parallel magnetic circuits have a symmetrical structure and good magnetic conductivity consistency, and magnetic symmetry between the parallel magnetic circuits is ensured.

As an example, the magnetically permeable core 1 is a ferromagnetic material, and may be specifically an electrical pure iron, a magnetically permeable silicon steel sheet, an amorphous alloy material, or the like. The utility model provides a what magnetic core 1 adopted of this application embodiment is split iron core, is about to column iron core along vertically cutting apart into a plurality of minute iron cores, has the magnetic resistance between the different minute iron cores, can have fine independent minute magnetism effect when treating that the heating work piece is asynchronous like this.

As a specific example, as a possible solution, the workpiece H to be heated may be a cylinder, and two surfaces of each yoke 2 opposite to the air gap 21 are concave. In this way, the air gap 21 formed in each yoke 2 is a circular space with an opening at the top and bottom, and the center of the "circular space" is preferably concentric with the center of the workpiece H to be heated, so that the consistency of the magnetic field can be ensured after the workpiece H to be heated is placed.

After the workpiece H to be heated is placed in the air gap 21, the workpiece H can rotate under the action of external force, and in the process that the workpiece to be heated rotates under the background magnetic field, magnetic lines of force are cut to generate eddy currents so as to heat the workpiece to be heated to the process temperature. The rotation of the workpiece H to be heated can be driven by corresponding driving devices, and the application does not limit specific driving devices, and a person skilled in the art can select a suitable driving device as required.

The operating principle of the superconducting induction heating device of the application is as follows: after current is introduced into the superconducting coil, a strong magnetic field is generated, the magnetic conductive iron core 1 transmits the strong magnetic field generated by the superconducting coil to the plurality of iron yokes 2 connected in parallel, specifically, each sub-iron core 10 transmits the strong magnetic field generated by the superconducting coil to the corresponding iron yoke 2, and the workpiece H to be heated rotates in a background magnetic field generated by the superconducting coil (the workpiece H to be heated can be driven to rotate by corresponding driving equipment). At this time, due to the non-uniform magnetic field and the rotation motion of the workpiece to be heated, the magnetic flux in the workpiece to be heated H changes, induced voltage can be generated on the workpiece to be heated H according to lenz's law, and then induced eddy current is generated, and the eddy current generates heat in the workpiece to be heated H, so that the workpiece to be heated H is heated to the temperature of diathermy treatment. The heating efficiency of the workpiece H to be heated can be increased by a rapid heating cycle from the time when the workpiece H to be heated is placed until the workpiece H to be heated is heated to the process temperature.

In this embodiment, the six parallel iron yokes 2 form 6 air gaps 21, so that 6 workpieces H to be heated can be placed at the same time, that is, the 6 workpieces H to be heated can be heated at the same time, and the purpose of heating a plurality of workpieces H to be heated at the same time is achieved. In addition, the superconducting magnet with high magnetic field intensity is adopted, so that the heating power is improved, the heating time is further shortened, the heat loss is reduced, and the advantage that the superconducting coil can generate a large background magnetic field without resistance is fully utilized.

As an example, the air gaps 21 on two adjacent iron yokes 2 are arranged in a staggered manner, so that the air gaps 21 are not all arranged on the same horizontal plane, and thus a larger space for placing and taking out the workpiece H to be heated can be formed, and the problem that the workpiece H to be heated is inconvenient to take and place due to the fact that the air gaps 21 are all arranged on the same horizontal plane is avoided.

It should be noted that a plurality of air gaps 21 may be provided on each parallel yoke 2, so as to accommodate a greater number of workpieces H to be machined. The series-parallel hybrid magnetic circuit formed by the superconducting induction heating device of the embodiment of the application can select an appropriate number of parallel magnetic circuits and an appropriate number of series magnetic circuits (the number of the series magnetic circuits can be understood as the number of the air gaps 21 arranged on each closed magnetic circuit) according to the process temperature of the workpiece to be heated, the magnetic field value of the air gap background magnetic field, the rotating speed, the magnetic flux of the iron core, the magnetic potential of the superconducting magnet, the rotating speed corresponding to the optimal efficiency of the driving motor and the like.

With continued reference to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 1, the superconducting induction heating apparatus of the present application further includes a dewar vessel 4. The Dewar type container can be a container with a single thin-wall structure, the superconducting coil is located in an accommodating cavity of the Dewar type container, vacuumizing treatment is carried out in the container, the outer side of the superconducting coil is wrapped with a plurality of layers of heat insulation materials, and the heat transfer of the container to the outside through transmission, convection and radiation is reduced to the maximum extent through the thin wall, vacuum and the plurality of layers of heat insulation materials.

As an example, the structure of the dewar vessel 4 is shown in fig. 3, and it includes an inner cylinder 41, an outer cylinder 42, and a vacuum chamber between the inner cylinder 41 and the outer cylinder 42, and a superconducting coil is located in the vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber of the dewar vessel 4 may be formed by vacuum-sealing a space between the inner cylinder 41 and the outer cylinder 42 by an upper cover plate 43 and a lower cover plate (not shown in fig. 2). In the implementation, the Dewar container 4 is of an annular large-caliber single-wall structure, and the inside of the Dewar container is a vacuum environment during working, so that the cold loss generated in conduction, convection and radiation ways is reduced by wrapping a plurality of layers of heat insulating materials on the thin wall, the vacuum and the outside of the magnet.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a superconducting coil positioned within the vacuum chamber of dewar 4. As shown in fig. 4, the superconducting coil 5 is a superconducting magnet formed by winding a superconducting wire. By way of example, the superconducting coils are preferably arranged to produce a higher magnetic field strength, for example, the configuration of the superconducting coils may be selected from a solenoid coil configuration, which facilitates the formation of a close-wound magnet that facilitates transfer of the cooling circuit in various directions in conduction cooling. In the embodiment, the superconducting coil is impregnated by epoxy resin or paraffin, so that the superconducting coil is beneficial to small overall thermal resistance and convenient for transmission of a cooling circuit in each direction in conduction cooling.

With continued reference to fig. 4, current leads 51 of superconducting coil 5 are disposed on upper cover 43 of dewar vessel 4. The external power supply supplies a large current to superconducting coil 5 through current lead 51. As an example, the current lead 51 is a superconducting current lead, and may be optimized as a segmented superconducting current lead according to heat leakage and joule heat generation to reduce the heat leakage phenomenon. In addition, the current lead 51 may also be a copper lead with a variable cross section to reduce heat leakage.

Further, the superconducting induction heating apparatus of the present application further includes a refrigeration system (not shown in the drawings) that can be used to provide cryogenic cooling to place the superconducting coils in a superconducting state. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a refrigerator cold head 44 is disposed on the upper cover plate 43 of the dewar container 4, and the refrigeration system is connected to the refrigerator cold head 44 and supplies cold energy of low temperature to the vacuum chamber of the dewar container 4 through the refrigerator cold head 44 so as to make the superconducting coil 5 in the vacuum chamber in a superconducting state. As an example, the refrigeration equipment in the refrigeration system of the present embodiment may be a GM refrigerator or a stirling refrigerator.

As described above, the superconducting induction heating apparatus of the present application can form a plurality of series-parallel hybrid magnetic circuits, equally divide the magnetic flux generated by the superconducting coil, fully utilize the advantage of the superconducting strong magnetic field, and increase the magnetic utilization rate of the superconducting coil. Further through increasing superconductive high-intensity magnetic field utilization ratio, combined with the background magnetic field that has increased the work piece H that waits to heat in the air gap 21, shorten the time interval of the heat leakage that the work piece radiation after the heating and convection produced through adjusting the heating beat, and then the heating beat of positive promotion work piece that waits to heat.

It should be noted that the dewar container 4 and the refrigeration system in the embodiment of the present application are intended to provide a required working environment for the superconducting coil, and those skilled in the art will understand that the dewar container 4 and the refrigeration system may be omitted in the superconducting induction heating apparatus of the present application in the case where there is a working environment suitable for the superconducting coil. In addition, those skilled in the art may also use other devices in place of dewar 4 and refrigeration system, as long as the required working environment can be provided for the present superconducting coil. This is not limited in this application.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the magnitude of the magnetic flux density on the single parallel magnetic circuit can affect the heating power of the workpiece H to be heated. The applicant finds out through experiments that the heating power of the workpiece H to be heated is in positive correlation with the magnetic flux density on a single parallel magnetic circuit. Referring to fig. 5a, fig. 5a is a graph of heating power of a workpiece to be heated versus magnetic flux density on each parallel magnetic circuit. As shown in fig. 5a, the heating power can reach 50W and continuously increase when the magnetic flux density on the single parallel magnetic circuit is 0.65T. Therefore, the present embodiment can enhance the magnetic flux passing through the workpiece to be heated by increasing the magnetic induction, and accordingly provide the heating power of the workpiece to be heated. Therefore, the characteristic that the superconducting magnet can provide higher magnetic induction intensity compared with the traditional permanent magnet can be utilized, so that the time required by heating can be shortened, more heat dissipation is reduced, and the heating characteristic of high efficiency and high utilization rate is realized.

In the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the workpiece to be heated also affects the heating power of the workpiece to be heated H. Typical rotational speed settings may be 120rpm to 3000rpm, which may be specific to superconducting induction heating process requirements. Referring to fig. 5b, fig. 5b is a graph of the heating power of the workpiece to be heated versus the rotational speed of the workpiece to be heated. Wherein, the relationship diagram shown in fig. 5b is a relationship diagram of the heating power of the workpiece to be heated and the rotation speed of the workpiece to be heated under the 0.3T background magnetic field of the superconducting coil. As shown in fig. 5b, the power of the workpiece to be heated reaches a corresponding peak when the rotational speed of the workpiece to be heated is increased to about 2500 rpm. Therefore, in the embodiment, the designed rotation speed of the workpiece to be heated can refer to 2000rpm-2500 rpm.
