Thus, the superconducting quantum interference device can make the superconducting rotor return to the central balance position by adjusting the operating current of the upper levitation coil or the lower levitation coil. A change of gravity can be determined based on the operating current fed back to the upper levitation coil or the lower levitation coil.

  • Patent number: 9588198
    Abstract: An open type nuclear magnetic resonance magnet system having an iron ring member. A superconducting coil and a superconducting switch form a closed-loop current circuit to generate a magnetic field. The generated magnetic field gains a magnetic flux circuit and executes magnetic field shielding through upper and lower iron yokes and a lateral iron yoke. The magnet system generates a desired magnetic field in a magnet imaging central area via the superconducting coil. To balance the extremely high electromagnetic force between the superconducting coil and the upper and lower iron yokes, an annular iron ring is mounted in a space defined by an inner perimeter wall of in a cryogenic container. The magnetic field distribution between the superconducting coil and the upper and lower iron yokes is changed via the iron ring, so that the electromagnetic interaction force therebetween is reduced.

The heat generated by the wires of the suspension coil can be prevented transferring to the liquid helium container by the room temperature current lead joint, the high temperature superconducting current lead joint and low temperature superconducting current lead joint. Therefore the volatilization of the liquid helium in the liquid helium container can be reduced. The status of free liquid helium volatilization in the liquid helium container can be reached through refrigeration cooling condenser to liquefy the helium. The device needs not to be input the liquid helium time after time and can run independently for a long term.
