Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage generators, in particular to an X-ray tube current control system and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The X-ray tube is a vacuum tube with two poles, the filament is the cathode, usually a tungsten wire, and the anode is a target made of metal. A high DC voltage (tube voltage) is applied between the cathode and anode. When the cathode is heated to an incandescent state, a large number of electrons will be released. These electrons are accelerated in the high-voltage electric field and fly from the cathode to the anode (tube current). Finally, it hits the metal target at a very high speed and loses its kinetic energy. Most of this kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, and only a very small part is converted into X-rays. The number of electrons emitted by the filament can be changed by adjusting the current of the filament, and the relationship between the filam...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In existing X-ray machines, some devices only use the filament current as feedback to form a closed loop, and do not directly form a closed loop with the tube current, which is difficult to meet the cutting-edge requirements. When the filament is in a cold state and a hot state, the difference in resistance causes the tube current to be
