Superconducting tube

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a superconducting tube, more particularly one, which can be used in many different situations, and work relatively efficiently and effectively, and is relatively easy and costs less to manufacture.

2. Brief Description of the Prior Art

Superconducting tubes are fitted on a wide variety of equipments, e.g. electronic devices, and heat exchangers, for dissipating heat produced by the devices, thus preventing the devices from being subjected to high temperature, which would cause breakdown, damage, and reduction to the efficiency of the devices. In addition, superconducting tubes can be used for providing heat to a low-temperature environment.

Referring to FIG. 3, a common superconducting tube 3 includes a metallic guide tube 31, a return flow insulating layer 311 on an inner side of the metallic guide tube 31, and a kind of working medium 32 contained in the metallic guide tube 31. The return flow insulating layer 311 can be formed with grooves and protrusions thereon (FIG. 4) or with mesh shape (FIG. 5) or made by means of sintering as shown in FIG. 6.

Therefore, when the superconducting tube 3 is used in a low-temperature environment, phase change of the working medium 32 will happen; the gas-phase working medium 32 is cooled, and transformed into the liquid phase, and the liquid-phase working medium 32 is heated and transformed into the gas phase repeatedly so as to provide heat to the low-temperature environment. When the superconducting tube 3 is used in a medium-temperature environment, phase change of the working medium 32 will happen; the liquid-phase working medium 32 absorbs heat, transforms into the gas phase, and carries away heat for the heat to dissipate, and the gas-phase working medium 32 becomes cool, transforms into the liquid phase, and flows back via the return flow insulating layer 311 repeatedly so as to dissipate heat. When the superconducting tube 3 is used in a high-temperature environment, phase change of the working medium 32 will happen; the solid-phase working medium 32 absorbs heat, transforms into the liquid phase, and the liquid-phase working medium 32 absorbs heat, transforms into the gas phase, and carries away heat for the heat to dissipate, and the gas-phase working medium 32 becomes cool, transforms into the liquid phase, and flows back via the return flow insulating layer 311 repeatedly; thus, heat is dissipated.

The above superconducting tube can't work efficiently, and there is room for improvement because the superconducting tube absorbs works merely by means of phase change of the working medium in the metallic guide tube.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is a main object of the invention to provide an improvement on a fixing mechanism of a lathe to overcome the above-mentioned problems. The superconducting tube of the present invention includes a hollow metallic guide tube, and a kind of working medium contained in the metallic guide tube for absorbing energy. The metallic guide tube is vacuum, containing no gas except for the working medium while the working medium consists of oxygen-free medium, and metallic nanoparticulates; when the working medium is absorbing energy, Brownian motion will happen in the working medium, and the working medium will go through phase change to produce impulsive phenomenon such that energy is carried away at increased speed. Therefore, the superconducting tube can be used in many different situations, and work relatively efficiently and effectively, and it is relatively easy and costs less to manufacture

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of a superconducting tube includes a metallic guide tube 1, and a kind of working medium 2 contained in the metallic guide tube 1 for absorbing energy.

The metallic guide tube 1 is vacuum, containing no gas except for the working medium 2. The working medium 2 consists of an oxygen-free medium, and metallic nanoparticulates, and has Brownian motion existing therein.

In use, first the metallic guide tube 1 is fitted on an object. When the working medium 2 is absorbing energy, Brownian motion will happen in the working medium 2, and the working medium 2 will go through phase change to produce impulsive phenomenon such that energy is rapidly carried away.

When the superconducting tube is used in a low-temperature environment, the oxygen-free medium in the working medium 2 will go through phase change, and work together with the solid-phase metallic nanoparticulates in the working medium 2 so as to send heat to the low-temperature environment; the gas-phase oxygen-free medium will become cool, and transform into the liquid phase, and the liquid-phase oxygen-free medium will be heated and transform into the gas phase repeatedly such that the oxygen-free medium work together with the solid-phase metallic nanoparticulates to heat the low-temperature environment. When the superconducting tube is used in a medium-temperature environment, the oxygen-free media in the working medium 2 will go through phase change, and work together with the solid-phase metallic nanoparticulates so as to dissipate heat; the liquid-phase oxygen-free medium will absorb heat, transform into the gas phase, and carry away the heat energy, and the gas-phase oxygen-free medium will become cool and transform into the liquid phase repeatedly such that the oxygen-free medium work together with the solid-phase metallic nanoparticulates to dissipate heat. When the superconducting tube is used in a high-temperature environment, the oxygen-free medium in the working medium 2 will go through phase change, and work together with the solid-phase metallic nanoparticulates so as to dissipate heat; the liquid-phase oxygen-free medium will absorb heat, transform into the gas phase, and carry away the heat energy, and the gas-phase oxygen-free medium become cool and transform into the liquid phase repeatedly such that the oxygen-free medium work together with the solid-phase metallic nanoparticulates to dissipate heat.

From the above description, it can be seen that the superconducting tube of the present invention has the following advantages over the conventional one; the superconducting tube can be used in many different situations, work more efficiently and effectively, and it is easier and costs less to manufacture because of the vacuum metallic guide tube, and the working medium, which consists of oxygen-free medium, and metallic nanoparticulates, and which will, when absorbing energy, have Brownian motion happening therein, and go through phase change to produce impulsive phenomenon for carrying away the energy rapidly.
