(Prior art) In a vacuum vessel of a nuclear fusion device for generating plasma, when the plasma generated inside disappears rapidly, a large eddy current flows in the vacuum vessel, and this eddy current confines the plasma or generates the plasma. Electromagnetic interference with an external magnetic field for controlling confinement generates a very large electromagnetic force in the vacuum vessel. This electromagnetic force can be decomposed into a radial component of the fusion device and a component central (vertical) component of the fusion device.

By the way, in a plasma vacuum vessel in which such an electromagnetic force acts, it is possible to use a support structure that can withstand the radial component of the electromagnetic force by the vacuum vessel itself.
In order to support the vacuum container against the vertical component of the electromagnetic force, it is necessary to provide a special support outside. Also,
Since the radial component of the electromagnetic force is mainly caused by an eddy current flowing in the toroidal direction of the vacuum vessel, it is necessary to increase the electrical resistance of the vacuum vessel in the toroidal direction in order to reduce the eddy current.

In the vacuum vessel support device having such a configuration, the concentric cylinder 26 is disposed on the inner peripheral side of the spherical bearing body 28 of the external support frame side trunnion bearing 25 via the mold insulating layer 27. Since the vacuum vessel 1 and the external support frame 3 are electrically disconnected from each other, it is possible to cut off an undesired current path in terms of plasma operation and the strength of the vacuum vessel 1. The trunnion shaft 29 is connected to the vacuum vessel side trunnion bearing 20 and the external support frame side trunnion bearing 25 from inside the vacuum vessel 1.
And the support structure for supporting the vacuum vessel 1 on the external support frame 3 not only facilitates its assembly, but also does not limit the installation location of the support structure. Therefore, the vacuum vessel 1 can be provided not only on the outboard side near the center plane of the vacuum vessel 1 but also on the inboard side, so that even when the plasma moves and disappears and the electromagnetic force on the vacuum vessel side on the inboard side is large, the vacuum vessel 1 Can be supported soundly. By supporting the inboard side of the vacuum vessel 1, the natural frequency of the vacuum vessel 1 can be increased,
Not only is it advantageous in terms of seismic resistance, but also the average shear stress of the trunnion shaft 29 and the average surface pressure of the spherical bearing bodies 21 and 28 can be reduced, and the reliability of the support structure can be improved.

On the other hand, when the vacuum vessel 1 is baked, heat is transmitted to the external support frame 3 via the trunnion shaft 29 and the external support frame-side trunnion bearing 25, and the heat thus transmitted is cooled by the cooling unit embedded in the block body 24. Since it is removed at the pipe 23,
The poloidal coil 4 is not damaged by the baking of the vacuum vessel 1. Further, since the trunnion shaft 29TiN is coated, there is no possibility that the trunnion shaft 29 will be galled at its sliding portion. In addition, trunnion shaft
Since the tube 29 is integrated with the trunnion bearing 20 by welding from the inside of the vacuum vessel 1, even if the vacuum vessel 1 is excessively deformed, the lid 31 is not broken by the trunnion shaft 29.

1. A vacuum vessel in which a vacuum vessel for generating plasma and an external support frame provided on an outer peripheral portion of the vacuum vessel are connected by a trunnion shaft to support the vacuum vessel on the external support frame. In the supporting device, a vacuum vessel side trunnion bearing composed of an eccentric ring and a spherical bearing is disposed on both the inboard side and the outboard side of the vacuum vessel, and the vacuum vessel side trunnion bearing is also provided on the external support frame. The external support frame-side trunnion bearing composed of a spherical bearing body and an electrical insulator interposed in the spherical bearing body is disposed in correspondence with the above, and these vacuum vessel-side trunnion bearing and external support frame-side trunnion bearing A trunnion shaft is inserted from the inside of the vacuum vessel into the above, and the eccentric ring of the vacuum vessel side trunnion bearing, the spherical bearing body and the trunnion shaft are integrally joined. Supporting apparatus for a vacuum vessel in nuclear fusion apparatus, characterized in that.
