Abstract

A superconducting coil device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: A superconducting coil device including: a bobbin having a tubular body; superconducting wires, a part of which constitutes a wound portion where the superconducting wires are wound on the bobbin; a bobbin-side guide portion holding the superconducting wires extending from the bobbin, the bobbin-side guide portion being provided to extend in a bobbin axial direction, which is an axial direction of the body of the bobbin; a first guide portion holding the superconducting wires extending from the bobbin-side guide portion, the first guide portion being arranged on an outer side of the bobbin-side guide portion in a direction intersecting the bobbin axial direction and provided to extend in the direction intersecting the bobbin axial direction; and a second guide portion capable of holding the superconducting wires extending from the first guide portion, the second guide portion being provided to extend in a direction intersecting the direction of extension of the first guide portion, in which the superconducting wires are constituted of a plurality of wires connected in series, and a connection portion between the wires is fixed to at least either one of the first guide portion and the second guide portion.

Claims (32)

1 . A superconducting coil device comprising: a bobbin comprising a tubular body;

superconducting wires, a part of which constitutes a wound portion where the superconducting wires are wound on the bobbin;

a bobbin-side guide portion holding the superconducting wires extending from the bobbin, the bobbin-side guide portion being provided to extend in a bobbin axial direction, which is an axial direction of the body of the bobbin;

a first guide portion holding the superconducting wires extending from the bobbin-side guide portion, the first guide portion being arranged on an outer side of the bobbin-side guide portion in a direction intersecting the bobbin axial direction and provided to extend in the direction intersecting the bobbin axial direction; and

a second guide portion capable of holding the superconducting wires extending from the first guide portion, the second guide portion being provided to extend in a direction intersecting the direction of extension of the first guide portion,

wherein

the superconducting wires are constituted of a plurality of wires connected in series, and

a connection portion between the wires is fixed to at least either one of the first guide portion and the second guide portion.

2 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second guide portion is detachably attached to the first guide portion.

3 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a plurality of connection portion-attaching portions to which the connection portion can be attached, wherein

the plurality of connection portion-attaching portions are provided on either one or both of the first guide portion and the second guide portion.

4 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when an end of the second guide portion on a first guide portion side is a second guide portion base end, and

an end of the second guide portion on an opposite side of the first guide portion side is a second guide portion tip end,

the second guide portion comprises a second guide portion turn-back portion that can arrange the superconducting wires extending from the second guide portion base end toward the second guide portion tip end to be turned back from the second guide portion tip end toward the second guide portion base end.

5 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 1 ,

wherein: the first guide portion is provided in a plurality of number;

an end of the first guide portion on a bobbin-side guide portion side is a first guide portion base end; and

positions of the first guide portion base ends of the plurality of first guide portions in the bobbin axial direction are different from each other.

6 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 2 ,

further comprising a plurality of connection portion-attaching portions to which the connection portion can be attached, wherein

the plurality of connection portion-attaching portions are provided on either one or both of the first guide portion and the second guide portion.

7 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 2 ,

wherein, when an end of the second guide portion on a first guide portion side is a second guide portion base end, and

an end of the second guide portion on an opposite side of the first guide portion side is a second guide portion tip end,

the second guide portion comprises a second guide portion turn-back portion that can arrange the superconducting wires extending from the second guide portion base end toward the second guide portion tip end to be turned back from the second guide portion tip end toward the second guide portion base end.

8 . The superconducting coil device according to claim 2 ,

wherein: the first guide portion is provided in a plurality of number;

an end of the first guide portion on a bobbin-side guide portion side is a first guide portion base end; and

positions of the first guide portion base ends of the plurality of first guide portions in the bobbin axial direction are different from each other.
