Cooling structure of gradient coil having flexible coolant pipelines

A gradient coil, comprising:

• a gradient coil body having a Z coil, and
• a cooling component including:
• a coolant pipeline component having multiple flexible coolant pipelines with high thermal conductivity arranged side by side, the multiple flexible coolant pipelines being installed with the Z coil so as to be orthogonal to components of the Z coil;
• and
• a load-bearing component disposed on an outside of the Z coil of the gradient coil and including multiple load-bearing plates having a set gap therebetween,
• wherein the multiple flexible coolant pipelines arranged side by side are stitched onto the multhle load-bearing plates by stitchino to securely arrange the multiple flexible coolant pipelines on the load-bearing component such that a coolant liquid intake pipe has a serpentine layout and a liquid output pipe is arranged in parallel at one side of the coolant liquid intake pipe without crossing over the coolant liquid intake pipe.

A gradient coil cooling component, comprising:

• a coolant pipeline component including multiple flexible coolant pipelines with high thermal conductivity arranged side by side, the multiple flexible coolant pipelines configured to be installed with a Z coil of a gradient coil so as to be orthogonal to components of the Z coil;
• and
• a load-bearing component including multiple load-bearing plates having a set gap therebetween, wherein the multiple load-bearing plates include a first end plate, a second end plate and a middle plate, wherein:
• the multiple flexible coolant pipelines arranged side by side are stitched onto the multiple load-bearing plates by stitching lines to securely arrange the multiple flexible coolant pipelines on the load-bearing component such that a coolant liquid intake pipe has a serpentine layout and a liquid output pipe is arranged in parallel at one side of the coolant liquid intake pipe without crossing over the coolant liquid intake pipe;
• bends of the serpentine shape of the multiple flexible coolant pipelines arranged side by side are stitched onto the corresponding first end plate or second end plate using the stitching lines;
• and
• middle, non-bending positions of the multiple flexible coolant pipelines arranged side by side are stitched onto the middle plate using the stitching lines.
