DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a superconducting wire used in nuclear fusion devices, MHD power generation devices, etc., and particularly to a compound-based hollow superconducting wire having a large cross section and having a cooling passage inside.

As is well known, a hollow superconducting wire has a hollow cooling passage formed inside, and a cooling medium such as supercritical pressure helium is pumped into the cooling passage to cool the superconducting wire from within. As a conventional compound-based hollow superconducting wire, for example, as shown in FIG. A cooling passage 2 is formed, and grooves 3a F 3b y 3 are formed on each outer surface of the stabilizing base material 1.
ct3d, a superconductor 4 made of a superconducting intermetallic compound such as Nb3Sn is placed in each of these grooves 3a to 3d.
It is known that parts a to 4d are fitted and fixed by brazing or the like, and an insulating layer 5 made of an insulating tape or the like is formed on the outside thereof.

By the way, in superconducting wires used in large superconducting coils such as large superconducting magnets, it is necessary to increase the cooling capacity, and as the coils become larger, the length of the superconducting wires also becomes longer, which inevitably leads to the need for cooling channels. The length of will also increase.

Therefore, as mentioned above, in order to use it in a large coil, it is necessary to enlarge the cross section of the hollow part of the cooling passage, and as a result, the cross section of the entire superconducting wire must also be enlarged. In the conventional structure shown, the large electromagnetic force generated by the large coil is supported by the wall 1a of the stabilizing base material 1.
The wall thickness of a cannot be made very thin, so the cross section must be made even larger.

However, in the conventional superconducting wire shown in FIG.
In addition, it is necessary to use a hollow profiled material with grooves 3a to 3d formed on each outer surface, and it is extremely difficult to manufacture a long length of such a hollow profiled material with a large cross section and thickness. Therefore, it is practically impossible to enlarge the superconducting wire of the conventional structure shown in FIG. 1 and use it for a large coil.

Moreover, in the superconducting wire of the conventional structure shown in FIG. 1, since the superconductors 4a to 4d are located on each surface side of the stabilizing base material 1,
If the superconductors 4a to 4d are adhesively fixed to the stabilizing base material 1 in advance by brazing or the like, when the superconducting wire is wound into a coil, the superconductor located outside the winding radius R (for example, 4a) Since elongational strain acts on the superconductor (for example, 4C) located inside the winding radius, compressive strain acts on the superconductor (for example, 4C) located inside the winding radius, so the intermetallic compound-based superconductor, which is originally hard and brittle, deteriorates or breaks. This phenomenon is particularly serious when the cross section is large, so in the case of a large cross section, the work of joining and integrating the superconductors 4a to 4c to the stabilizing base material 1 requires superconducting wires (not joined). semi-finished products)
This must be done after winding the coil into the coil, which makes the work process complicated, requires a large device to heat the large coil, and the base frame is deformed by heating for brazing. There are also problems.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a compound-based hollow superconducting wire that can be easily increased in size.

In other words, the superconducting wire of the present invention has a superconductor having a flat rectangular cross section arranged approximately at the center of the cross section, and a plurality of normal conductors each having cooling passages formed inside on both sides of the superconductor in the thickness direction. The gist is that the superconductor and the hollow tube are joined and integrated by aligning the hollow tube.

To explain this invention in more detail below, FIG. 2 shows an example of a superconducting wire according to the invention, which is a Nb3

The superconductor 4, which is made by embedding (not shown) in a highly conductive material such as oxygen-free copper, is made to have a flat rectangular cross section. A plurality of hollow tube bodies 6 made of a normal conductor with good conductivity such as oxygen copper are arranged.

These hollow tube bodies 6 have a rectangular cross section and have a cooling passage 7 formed therein which also has a rectangular cross section.
In the illustrated example, there are three

In the superconducting wire as described above, the hollow tubes 6 serve as a stabilizing base material for the superconductor 4, and these hollow tubes 6 are provided on both sides of the superconductor 4 in the thickness direction. Since a plurality of superconducting tubes 6 are arranged, each hollow tube 6 can have a relatively small cross section, and even when the cross section of the entire superconducting wire is further increased, the number of hollow tubes 6 can be reduced. There is no need to increase the size of the hollow tube body itself, as it is only necessary to increase the .

Therefore, a long hollow tube body 6 can be easily obtained.

In addition, since the superconductor 4 is located approximately at the center of the cross section of the entire superconducting wire, it is possible to unwind the superconductor 4 and each hollow tube body 6 by joining them together before winding them into a coil. There is no excessive force applied to the superconductor during the coil winding process, so by integrally joining the coil before winding the work, the work is simplified and the coil base is not deformed during brazing. This is especially true even in the case of a large cross section, so a dog-shaped heating device is no longer necessary, and it is also possible to shorten the working time.

In particular, the compound-based superconductor targeted by this invention is extremely brittle and extremely susceptible to strain. Therefore, during the coil winding process, the superconductor is placed on the outer surface side or the inner surface side of the winding radius. When placed, it is subjected to large strains due to tension or compression forces,
However, in this invention, since the superconductor 4 is placed in the center, the strain applied to the superconductor 4 during the coil winding process is extremely small, so there is less risk of the superconductor 4 deteriorating, and its characteristics are improved. It is possible to reliably obtain an excellent superconducting coil.

Furthermore, when a coil wrapped with superconducting wire is used, it often generates a large electromagnetic force, which is borne by the superconducting wire, but in the above structure, the cooling passage is divided into multiple parts, so a large electromagnetic force is generated. It can sufficiently withstand force, so a cooling path can always be ensured, and the superconducting wire is prevented from being deformed or damaged.

As is clear from the above explanation, even when the hollow superconducting wire of the present invention has a large cross section, the hollow tube used as the stabilizing base material can have a small diameter, and therefore it is possible to use a hollow superconducting wire with a long length and a large cross section. It is extremely easy to realize a hollow superconducting wire, and it is possible to join and integrate the wires in advance before winding the coil, which simplifies manufacturing and processing operations and prevents deformation and oxidation of the coil base. In addition, there is no risk of deterioration of the superconductor due to the coil winding process, and it is possible to stably obtain superconducting coils with excellent characteristics. It is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the tube body is crushed or damaged and a cooling passage cannot be secured, or the superconductor is deformed or damaged.
