[0022] The technical content of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the high-voltage generator power supply provided by the present invention includes a main control unit 1, an interface unit 2, a rectifying and filtering unit 3, a first inverter unit 4, a second inverter unit 5 and a high-voltage oil tank 6. The main control unit 1 is respectively connected to the interface unit 2, the rectifying and filtering unit 3, the first inverter unit 4, the second inverter unit 5 and the high-voltage oil tank 6, the interface unit 2 is connected to input and output signals for user use, the input end of the rectifying and filtering unit 3 is connected to the AC voltage, the output end of the rectifying and filtering unit 3 is respectively connected to the input end of the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5, and the output end of the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5 is respectively connected to the high-voltage oil tank 6, so that the high-voltage oil tank 6 outputs the first high-voltage value and the second high-voltage value.

[0024] Among them, the high-pressure oil tank 6 outputs two high voltages, one high voltage is used to be loaded between the cathode target and the anode target of the X-ray tube, and the other high voltage is used to control the output and shutdown of the X-ray tube through the grid control circuit of the X-ray tube.

[0025] Among them, the main control unit 1 can be implemented by a control chip composed of a microcontroller (MCU) and an FPGA (Field-Programmable-Gate-Array). This control chip provides CAN communication function and the function of data transmission with the outside; and the FPGA is used to convert the timing signal input by the user into the timing required inside the high-voltage generator power supply, for example, when the user needs the high-voltage generator power supply to output and stop outputting the first high-voltage value (KV1) and the second high-voltage value (KV2).

[0026] An operational amplifier, an A / D conversion chip (analog-to-digital conversion chip), a first CAN interface, a second CAN interface, a first signal interface, a second signal interface and a third signal interface are respectively arranged on the control chip composed of a microcontroller and an FPGA. The input end of the operational amplifier is connected to the high-pressure oil tank 6, the output end of the operational amplifier is connected to the input end of the A / D conversion chip, the output end of the A / D conversion chip is connected to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller is respectively connected to the first CAN interface and the second CAN interface; the high-voltage signal output by the high-pressure oil tank 6 is amplified by the operational amplifier, and the amplified voltage and current signals are converted into digital signals by the A / D conversion chip, and then transmitted to the microcontroller for high-voltage, undervoltage, overcurrent and other judgments and protection. The first CAN interface is reserved for user system integration, for example, it can receive the timing signal input by the user. The second CAN interface is respectively connected to the interface unit 2, the rectifier and filter unit 3, the first inverter unit 4, the second inverter unit 5 and the high-pressure oil tank 6 through the corresponding CAN bus, so that the data transmission of the interface unit 2, the rectifier and filter unit 3, the first inverter unit 4, the second inverter unit 5 and the high-pressure oil tank 6 adopts the CAN communication form, which can reduce the cable interconnection of each part. The first signal interface and the second signal interface are respectively connected to the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5 through corresponding data cables, so as to realize the control of the operating status of the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5; the third signal interface is connected to the high-voltage oil tank 6 through the data cable, so as to send the voltage and current signals output by the high-voltage oil tank 6 to the main control unit 1, so as to facilitate the main control unit 1 to realize the closed-loop control of the first high voltage value and the second high voltage value output by the high-voltage generator power supply.

[0027] The interface unit 2 is implemented by an interface board (interface circuit board). The interface board is internally provided with an optical coupler for isolating each input and output signal, thereby isolating the high voltage inside the power supply of the high voltage generator from the high voltage in the user system.

[0028] The rectifier and filter unit 3 includes a three-phase full-bridge rectifier circuit, a microcontroller and a filter circuit. The input end of the three-phase full-bridge rectifier circuit is connected to an AC voltage (AC380V voltage), the output end of the three-phase full-bridge rectifier circuit is connected to the input end of the filter circuit, and the output end of the filter circuit is respectively connected to the input ends of the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5. The rectifier and filter unit 3 realizes control and rectification filtering of the input AC voltage, and outputs a DC voltage (such as converting AC380V voltage into DC570V voltage). The three-phase full-bridge rectifier circuit and the filter circuit are existing three-phase full-bridge rectifier circuits and filter circuits, and their structures and working principles are not repeated here.

[0029] In order to reduce the instantaneous increase in the current of the filter capacitor of the filter circuit when the rectifying and filtering unit 3 is powered on, a slow start circuit 12 and a first sampling circuit 13 may be provided in the rectifying and filtering unit 3. Figure 2 As shown, the slow start circuit 12 includes negative temperature coefficient thermistors R1-R3, a main relay K1 and an auxiliary relay K2, one end of the normally open contact of the main relay K1 is connected to one end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistors R1-R3 and each phase of the AC voltage, the other end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistors R1-R3 is connected to one end of the normally open contact of the auxiliary relay K2, and the other ends of the normally open contacts of the main relay K1 and the auxiliary relay K2 are respectively connected to the input end of the three-phase full-bridge rectifier circuit; the first sampling circuit 13 includes a first sampling resistor and a second sampling resistor, and the first sampling resistor and the second sampling resistor are connected in series and respectively connected to the output end of the filter circuit; the microcontroller of the rectifier and filter unit 3 is respectively connected between the first sampling resistor and the second sampling resistor, and the normally open contacts of the main relay K1 and the auxiliary relay K2.

[0030] The timing mode of the slow start circuit is in the form of a negative temperature coefficient thermistor and a control relay (main relay K1 and auxiliary relay K2). By this method, the current value of the moment when the filter capacitor of the filter circuit is powered on can be reduced. If there is no such measure, the moment when the filter capacitor is powered on will cause the overcurrent protector of the power grid to be disconnected. The implementation process of the slow start circuit 12 and the first sampling circuit 13 is as follows: at the time of AC380V access, the main relay K1 does not absorb and charge, and the auxiliary relay K2 absorbs and charges the filter capacitor first. Because each circuit in this charging loop is connected in series with resistors R1-R3, this instantaneous charging current has been limited, and a small current is used to gradually charge the filter capacitor. The charging voltage of the filter capacitor is sampled and fed back to the microcontroller through the first sampling resistor and the second sampling resistor. When the feedback voltage value reaches a predetermined value, the microcontroller makes the main relay K1 absorb and charge. Because a certain voltage has been precharged, there will be no large current mutation at the moment of absorption and finally disconnect the auxiliary relay K2.

[0031] Since the capacitance of the filter capacitor in the filter circuit is very large, there must be a discharge measure for the filter capacitor after power failure to discharge all the charges stored in the filter capacitor to prevent electric shock to others. The specific discharge measure is to connect a discharge resistor in parallel at both ends of the filter capacitor.

[0032] Since the high-voltage generator power supply is a high-power high-voltage power supply, it has strict requirements on the power supply of the power grid. Therefore, it is necessary to set a phase loss detection protection circuit in the filter circuit; Figure 3As shown, the phase-loss detection protection circuit is composed of a voltage comparator, the positive input end of the voltage comparator is connected between the two sampling resistors of the first sampling circuit 13, the negative input end of the voltage comparator is connected to the reference voltage, the output end of the voltage comparator is connected to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller is also connected to the second CAN interface of the main control unit through the CAN bus; the voltage value of the filter capacitor of the sampling filter circuit is fed back to the voltage comparator through the first sampling resistor and the second sampling resistor, and the voltage value of the filter capacitor of the filter circuit is used to determine whether the AC voltage input by the high-voltage generator power supply has a three-phase power phase loss. If the input AC voltage has a phase loss, the voltage value on the filter capacitor will decrease, and the microcontroller can determine whether the input AC voltage has a phase loss fault by judging whether this voltage value is within the normal range according to the pre-stored normal range of voltage. When the phase-loss detection protection circuit detects that the input AC voltage has a phase loss fault, it will send an alarm message to the main control unit 1 through the CAN bus, and at this time, the main control unit 1 will also send a control instruction to the rectifier filter unit 3 through the second CAN interface. At this time, the rectifier and filter unit 3 will no longer send DC voltage to the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5, and the main control unit 1 also controls the first signal interface, the second signal interface and the third signal interface to respectively control the first inverter unit 4, the second inverter unit 5 and the high-pressure oil tank 6 to stop running.

[0033] The first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5 respectively include a microcontroller, a control module, a drive module and a full-bridge inverter circuit; the microcontroller is connected to the second CAN interface of the main control unit 1 through the CAN bus on the one hand, and the microcontroller is connected to the control module on the other hand, the control module is connected to the drive module, the drive module is connected to the input end of the full-bridge inverter circuit, and the output end of the full-bridge inverter circuit is connected to the high-pressure oil tank 6. Among them, the control module can be implemented by a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control chip. For example, a PWM control chip with a model number of UC3844 can be used for implementation. The drive module can be implemented by a PWM drive chip. For example, a PWM drive chip with a model number of 2SC0435T can be used for implementation. The full-bridge inverter circuit is composed of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and is an existing full-bridge inverter circuit, and its structure and working principle are not repeated here.

[0034] The user sends the set first high voltage value and the second high voltage value to the microcontroller of the main control unit 1 through the interface unit 2, and the microcontroller of the main control unit 1 sends the set first high voltage value and the second high voltage value to the microcontrollers of the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5 respectively. The microcontrollers of the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5 set a suitable DC voltage to the reference end of the PWM control chip according to the received first high voltage value and the second high voltage value, so that the PWM control chip determines the square wave duty cycle according to the DC voltage, and controls the PWM drive chip to drive the insulated gate bipolar transistor of the full-bridge inverter circuit, so that the full-bridge inverter circuit generates a high-frequency square wave voltage, and the high-frequency square wave voltage will be respectively input into the high-pressure oil tank 6.

[0035] The control signal regarding when to start and stop the first high voltage value and the second high voltage value output by the high voltage generator power supply can be sent to the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5 accordingly after the FPGA of the main control unit 1 parses the timing signal input by the user.

[0036] In the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5, in order to prevent the insulated gate bipolar transistor from being damaged by excessive temperature, a heat sink and a temperature detection chip can be installed on the insulated gate bipolar transistor respectively, and the heat sink and the temperature detection chip are respectively connected to the microcontroller of the inverter unit (the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5); the temperature of the insulated gate bipolar transistor is detected in real time by the temperature detection chip, and the temperature is converted into a voltage value and sent to the microcontroller of the inverter unit. The microcontroller will perform A / D conversion on the voltage value and compare it with the temperature range of the insulated gate bipolar transistor pre-set in the microcontroller to determine whether the current temperature of the insulated gate bipolar transistor is within a suitable range. If the microcontroller of the inverter unit determines that the current temperature of the insulated gate bipolar transistor exceeds the suitable range, a control signal can be sent to the inverter unit through the microcontroller to stop the inverter unit, that is, the microcontroller does not send a suitable DC voltage to the PWM control chip, so that the PWM control chip cannot determine the square wave duty cycle, thereby making the full-bridge inverter circuit unable to generate a high-frequency square wave voltage.

[0037] In the first inverter unit 4 and the second inverter unit 5, in order to prevent the insulated gate bipolar transistor from being damaged by excessive current, a current transformer can be connected in series in the full-bridge inverter circuit, and the current transformer is connected to the microcontroller of the inverter unit. The detected current of the insulated gate bipolar transistor can be converted into a voltage value through the current transformer, and the voltage value is sent to the microcontroller of the inverter unit. The microcontroller will perform A / D conversion on the voltage value, and compare it with the current range of the insulated gate bipolar transistor preset in the microcontroller to determine whether the current current of the insulated gate bipolar transistor is within the appropriate range. If the microcontroller of the inverter unit determines that the current current of the insulated gate bipolar transistor is overcurrent, a control signal can be sent to the inverter unit through the microcontroller to stop the inverter unit, that is, the microcontroller does not send a suitable DC voltage to the PWM control chip, so that the PWM control chip cannot determine the square wave duty cycle, thereby making the full-bridge inverter circuit unable to generate a high-frequency square wave voltage.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a first isolation transformer T1, a second isolation transformer T2, an oil tank interface board 7, a first voltage doubling rectifier circuit 8, a second voltage doubling rectifier circuit 9, a microcontroller and an operational amplifier are arranged in the high-voltage oil tank 6; the primary of the first isolation transformer T1 and the second isolation transformer T2, the microcontroller and the operational amplifier are connected to the oil tank interface board 7 respectively, the secondary of the first isolation transformer T1 is connected to the input end of the first voltage doubling rectifier circuit 8, the secondary of the second isolation transformer T2 is connected to the input end of the second voltage doubling rectifier circuit 9, the output end of the first voltage doubling rectifier circuit 8 is connected to the first high-voltage output end of the high-voltage oil tank 6, and the output end of the second voltage doubling rectifier circuit 9 is connected to the second high-voltage output end of the high-voltage oil tank 6; wherein, the second high-voltage output end is connected to the first high-voltage output end on the one hand, and is grounded on the other hand, so that the voltage reference of the second high-voltage value output by the second high-voltage output end is suspended on the first high-voltage value output by the first high-voltage output end, so as to realize that the second high-voltage value output by the second high-voltage output end takes the first high-voltage value output by the first high-voltage output end as a reference point.

[0039] Among them, the oil tank interface board 7 is a transfer board inside and outside the high-pressure oil tank 6. The oil tank interface board 7 is directly pressed on the top of the box body of the high-pressure oil tank 6, and a sealing ring is added to the edge to play a sealing role, and the input and output signals are connected through the terminal block welded on the oil tank interface board 7. Specifically, the terminal block of the oil tank interface board 7 is respectively provided with the input and output ends of the inverter 1, the input and output ends of the inverter 2, the CAN interface end, the signal interface end and the signal feedback end corresponding to the CAN interface end and the signal interface end; wherein, the microcontroller of the high-pressure oil tank 6 is connected to the CAN interface end and the signal feedback end, and the operational amplifier of the high-pressure oil tank 6 is connected to the signal interface end and the signal feedback end. The CAN interface end is connected to the second CAN interface of the main control unit 1 through the CAN bus, and the signal interface end is connected to the third signal interface of the main control unit 1 through the signal cable. The input end of inverter 1 is connected to the output end of the full-bridge inverter circuit of the first inverter unit 4, and the output end of inverter 1 is connected to the primary of the first isolation transformer T1; the input end of inverter 2 is connected to the output end of the full-bridge inverter circuit of the second inverter unit 5, and the output end of inverter 2 is connected to the primary of the second isolation transformer T2, the secondary of the first isolation transformer T1 is connected to the input end of the first voltage doubling rectifier circuit 8, and the secondary of the second isolation transformer T2 is connected to the input end of the second voltage doubling rectifier circuit 9.

[0040] The first voltage doubling rectifier circuit 8 and the second voltage doubling rectifier circuit 9 include at least one rectifier bridge circuit and multiple high-voltage capacitors. The input ends of each rectifier bridge circuit are connected via a high-voltage capacitor, a high-voltage capacitor is connected in parallel between the output ends of each rectifier bridge circuit, and each rectifier bridge circuit is connected in series.

[0041] The first isolation transformer T1 and the second isolation transformer T2 are used to increase the high-frequency square wave voltage generated by the corresponding inverter unit to a preset value (such as 50KV and 5KV respectively), and send the increased high-frequency square wave voltage to the corresponding voltage doubler rectifier circuit for further boosting, rectification and filtering to achieve the output of the first high voltage value and the second high voltage value.

[0042] In order to ensure that the first high voltage value and the second high voltage value output by the high-pressure oil tank 6 meet user needs, a second sampling circuit 10 and a third sampling circuit 11 can be respectively set in the high-pressure oil tank 6, the input end of the second sampling circuit 10 is connected to the output end of the first voltage doubling rectifier circuit 8, the output end of the second sampling circuit 10 is respectively connected to the first high voltage output end and the output end of the third sampling circuit 11, the input end of the third sampling circuit 11 is connected to the output end of the second voltage doubling rectifier circuit 9, and the output end of the third sampling circuit 11 is connected to the second high voltage output end. Among them, the second sampling circuit 10 and the third sampling circuit 11 both include a third sampling resistor and a fourth sampling resistor, one end of the third sampling resistor serves as the input end of the corresponding sampling circuit, the other end of the fourth sampling resistor is connected to one end of the fourth sampling resistor, and the other end of the fourth sampling resistor serves as the output end of the corresponding sampling circuit; and the other end of the third sampling resistor and one end of the fourth sampling resistor are respectively connected to the signal feedback end on the terminal block of the oil tank interface board 7, which is used to send the high voltage output of the detected high-pressure oil tank 6 to the main control unit 1 through the signal interface after amplification by the operational amplifier of the high-pressure oil tank 6, so that the main control unit 1 can realize the closed-loop control of the first high voltage value and the second high voltage value output by the high-voltage generator power supply. In addition, the high-pressure oil tank 6 also sends the state of the high-pressure oil tank 6 to the main control unit 1 in real time through the CAN interface end, so that the main control unit 1 can control the working state of the high-pressure oil tank 6 according to the received state of the high-pressure oil tank 6.

[0043] It should be emphasized that the high-voltage part of the high-voltage oil tank 6 and the low-voltage part of the user system should achieve good electrical insulation to ensure the safety of the user. The following two methods are usually used for electrical insulation isolation: one is to use optical fiber to isolate data communication, and the other is to ensure that the electrical insulation gap and structure meet the requirements in the structural design of the high-voltage oil tank. The high-voltage oil tank is filled with transformer oil, and the electrical insulation performance of transformer oil is significantly higher than that of air. Therefore, the insulation of transformer oil can reduce the insulation requirements for the electrical gap in space, so that the structural design volume of the high-voltage oil tank can be reduced.
