Description

X-ray source high-voltage insulation structure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of X rays, and particularly relates to a high-voltage insulation structure of an X-ray source.
Background
The X-ray source is a device for generating X-rays and consists of an X-ray tube, a high-voltage power supply and a control circuit. In an X-ray tube, electrons emitted from an electron gun are accelerated by a high-voltage electric field and bombard an anode target to generate X-rays. The high-voltage power supply converts the low-voltage direct current into high-voltage direct current after a series of operations such as filtering, inversion, preliminary boosting, voltage doubling rectification and the like, and provides the high-voltage direct current for the X-ray tube. The control circuit indirectly controls the working process of the high-voltage power supply by controlling the input low-voltage direct current and simultaneously controls the working process of the X-ray source. The circuit structure of the high-voltage power supply comprises a filter circuit, an inverter circuit, a transformer boosting circuit and a voltage doubling rectifying circuit; the filter circuit, the inverter circuit and the transformer booster circuit are commonly designed on a circuit board together with the control circuit and are independently arranged outside the X-ray tube; when the voltage doubling rectifying circuit works, the input alternating current is required to be gradually increased to high-voltage direct current, and the alternating current is usually required to be independently placed in an insulating structure, so that the high-voltage is prevented from arcing and discharging to a low-voltage end, and the high-voltage circuit is prevented from being damaged. The alternating current output by the transformer booster circuit is connected with the voltage doubling rectifying circuit in the insulating structure through a high-voltage input electrode arranged on the outer side of the insulating structure. The high voltage DC generated during the operation of the high voltage power supply is loaded on the anode target of the X-ray tube, thereby generating a high voltage electric field in the X-ray tube.
The high-voltage power supply is used as a core component of the X-ray source, and whether the performance of the high-voltage power supply is stable or not directly determines the performance of the X-ray source. On the one hand, the high-voltage direct current output by the high-voltage power supply ranges from a few kilovolts to hundreds of kilovolts, and can stably work for a long time, so that the high-voltage power supply is required to have enough withstand voltage to avoid arc discharge damage. On the other hand, the volume of the high voltage power supply directly affects the volume of the X-ray source, which is more advantageous when transported, installed and used. Therefore, providing a sufficiently high stable high voltage for an X-ray tube within a sufficiently small volume is a technical problem that high voltage power supplies have been sought to break through. The insulation structure performance of the high-voltage power supply directly determines the stability of the high-voltage power supply.
The volume of the X-ray source is also limited by its power. The larger the power of the X-ray source, the larger the volume of the high voltage power supply and the X-ray tube, and the more heat is generated. By improving the heat dissipation capacity of the X-ray source, the X-ray source can stably work. Therefore, for integrated X-ray sources, a high voltage power supply with small volume, light weight, good dielectric breakdown voltage and fast heat dissipation is a goal that is commonly pursued in the X-ray source industry.
In the existing X-ray emitting device, the high-voltage insulation structure generally adopts an insulation encapsulation mode to encapsulate the voltage doubling rectifying circuit into a whole. For example, chinese patent CN111937498A, CN111955056a and CN110574137B refer to a high-voltage insulation structure, in which an epoxy resin encapsulation is used to encapsulate a voltage doubler rectifier circuit in a solid insulation block, then a metal housing is mounted on the upper portion of the solid insulation block, an X-ray tube is mounted in the metal housing, and a liquid insulation medium is filled between the X-ray tube and the housing. The structure for encapsulating the voltage doubling rectifying circuit into a whole can reduce the whole volume and improve the integration level, but has the following problems: firstly, once the voltage doubling rectifying circuit fails, the voltage doubling rectifying circuit is undetachable and cannot be overhauled, so that the maintenance cost of the X-ray source is increased; secondly, the filling and sealing mode is extremely easy to form low vacuum bubbles in the filling and sealing body, so that Pa type discharge is caused, and the voltage doubling rectifying circuit is damaged; third, the thermal conductivity of the solid insulating material is poor, heat is difficult to be conducted out of the solid insulating block rapidly, heat is accumulated, and the risk of damaging the voltage doubling rectifying circuit is increased.
Besides epoxy resin, the potting material can also be silicon rubber with certain elasticity. For example, chinese patent CN206259315U discloses an X-ray tube and a high-voltage insulation structure, in which a silicon rubber with a certain elasticity is used as a potting material, the X-ray tube and a voltage doubling rectifying circuit are potted together in a metal housing, and only an X-ray outlet is left on the side wall of the metal housing. Although this structure effectively improves the integration level and reduces the volume, the following problems are caused as well: firstly, low-straight air bubbles are easy to occur in a potting structure, so that Pa type discharge is caused, and a voltage doubling rectifying circuit is easy to damage; secondly, the silicon rubber has elasticity, and is heated to expand and deform, so that a tiny cavity is formed at the contact part of the voltage doubling rectifying circuit and the X-ray tube with the silicon rubber, thereby causing Pa-type discharge and reducing the stability of the X-ray source; thirdly, the silicon rubber has poor heat dissipation capability, and heat accumulation causes high local temperature near the anode end of the X-ray tube, so that the stability of the X-ray source is reduced.
In order to avoid the Pay discharge problem caused by the solid encapsulating material, a liquid insulating medium can be used for filling gaps around the voltage doubling rectifying circuit and the X-ray tube. For another example, chinese patent CN210668257U and CN210668263U disclose a high voltage insulation structure of a high voltage X-ray source, and compared with patent CN206259315U, only the silicone rubber potting material is replaced by liquid insulating oil, but the outer shell is a metal shell such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. This construction requires a relatively large interior cavity of the metal shell and requires a flat and smooth interior cavity side wall of the metal shell. On the one hand, the liquid insulating oil can be degraded along with long-time working of the X-ray source, so that the insulation voltage is reduced, and if the insulation distance between the voltage doubling rectifying circuit and the side wall of the inner cavity of the metal is insufficient, the insulation voltage is insufficient, so that the stability of the X-ray source is reduced; on the other hand, if the surface of the inner cavity of the metal shell is not smooth enough, under the action of a high-voltage power supply electric field, metal tip micro-discharge can occur, arc discharge is caused, and insulation oil degradation is accelerated; the micro discharge seriously and even directly causes high voltage breakdown to damage a high voltage power supply.

Since No. 45 transformer oil has an expansion coefficient of 0.07% at every 1 ℃ increase in temperature. When the volume of the liquid insulating medium filled in the high-voltage insulating cylinder 1 is 1500 mL, the X-ray source continuously works to cause the temperature of the liquid insulating medium to rise from the room temperature of 20 ℃ to the highest temperature of 60 ℃, at this time, the expansion volume of the liquid insulating medium is calculated to be about 42 mL, and the designed bowl-shaped expansion deformation structure 51 with the deformation volume of 56 mL can meet the practical use requirement. In addition, the bowl-shaped expansion deformation structure 51 has the characteristics of oil resistance, corrosion resistance, X-ray irradiation resistance, good insulation property and the like, so that the stability of the X-ray source is improved.
