Abstract
The present invention provides a multi-degree-of-freedom conductor depositing system for tokamak toroidal field coil winding packs, belongs to the field of development of toroidal field superconducting coils for nuclear fusion. The multi-degree-of-freedom conductor depositing system is mounted on a winding table and distributed along the contour of the toroidal field coil. The optical proximity switches detect the position signals between the winding table and the bending unit and transmit them to an automatic control system. The multi-degree-of-freedom conductor depositing system is distributed in a spiral shape from the top to the bottom from the position of the bending unit along the direction of coil winding. The conductor is deposited onto the track drive mechanism of the multi-degree-of-freedom conductor depositing device, which has a bidirectional moving and rotating function. This avoids the risk of insulation rupture due to friction between the conductor and the depositing tooling during the coil winding process. It also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and high reliability.
