Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of radio frequency technology, and in particular to an automatic recovery system and method for cavity radio frequency voltage. Background Technology

[0002] In medical heavy ion accelerators, the cavity voltage of the cyclotron accelerator often drops to zero due to fluctuations in the environment such as vacuum, water, and temperature. This causes the beam to be lost because it cannot be accelerated, resulting in the accelerator failing to produce a beam. The current standard method for handling this situation is to manually initialize the low-level control device locally, then manually operate the amplitude stabilization and frequency tuning devices to establish a pulsed radio frequency voltage in the cavity. After stabilization, it is switched to a continuous radio frequency voltage, and finally, a closed-loop remote control is established before normal operation. Because manual operation often cannot detect and resolve this issue promptly, and the manual operation steps are quite complex, a single drop in radio frequency voltage to zero can often take several minutes or even tens of minutes to recover. Furthermore, there is a risk of equipment damage due to the operator's lack of skill or understanding of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the structural block diagram of the cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system may include, for example, a low-level device, a power source, a high-frequency cavity, and a programmable control module. Wherein:

[0031] The low-level device is used to control the amplitude stability, phase stability, and frequency tuning of the radio frequency signal, monitor the pulse radio frequency voltage and continuous radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity, monitor the interlocking condition normal signal, and switch the output mode of the radio frequency signal.

[0032] In this embodiment, amplitude stabilization includes the ability to adjust the RF signal output to an ON or OFF state, the RF signal output amplitude is adjustable, and the ability to switch between open-loop and closed-loop control modes. Phase stabilization includes the ability to switch between open-loop and closed-loop control modes. Frequency tuning includes the ability to switch between open-loop and closed-loop control modes.

[0033] The output modes of the radio frequency signal may include, for example, pulse mode and continuous mode. In pulse mode, a low-level device is used to output a pulse radio frequency signal, and in continuous mode, a low-level device is used to output a continuous radio frequency signal.

[0034] A power source is used to amplify the radio frequency signal input from a low-level device and feed it into the high-frequency cavity, while also providing a normal power source signal.

[0035] A high-frequency cavity is used to resonate the radio frequency power fed into the power source, establish a radio frequency electric field, and adjust the frequency of the high-frequency cavity through a fine-tuning loop.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fine-tuning ring is a ring structure made of copper tubing, installed at the bottom of the high-frequency cavity. The frequency of the high-frequency cavity is adjusted by regulating the magnetic flux of the ring structure. Specifically, the frequency of the high-frequency cavity can be adjusted by controlling the motor connected to the fine-tuning ring to rotate it through frequency tuning of a low-level device, thereby changing the magnetic flux of the ring structure and thus adjusting the cavity frequency.

[0037] The programmable control module is used to restore the RF voltage of the high-frequency cavity by controlling the fine-tuning loop based on the low-level device after the RF voltage of the high-frequency cavity drops to zero.

[0038] In this embodiment, the programmable control module adjusts the cavity frequency tuning by remotely controlling the frequency tuning system of the low-level device, and determines whether tuning has been completed by monitoring the changing trend of the maximum value of the pulse RF voltage Vp or the continuous pulse RF voltage Vc. The tuning method is as follows: the programmable control module first controls the fine-tuning ring to rotate in a certain direction, such as forward rotation, and monitors the changing trend of Vp or Vc. If Vp or Vc continuously decreases as the fine-tuning ring rotates, the fine-tuning ring is controlled to reverse until Vp or Vc changes from an upward trend to a downward trend. Then, the fine-tuning ring is rotated forward to the previously monitored maximum value of Vp or Vc, and the tuning is completed.

[0039] According to embodiments of this disclosure, after the radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity drops to zero, the cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system automatically monitors the pulse radio frequency voltage and continuous radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity, the power source's normal signal, and the interlocking condition normal signal in real time through a programmable control module, so as to promptly control the fine-tuning ring to restore the radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity according to the low-level device.

[0040] Based on the above-described cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system, this disclosure also provides a cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery method.

[0041] Figure 2 The flowchart illustrating the automatic recovery method for cavity radio frequency voltage provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown schematically.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the automatic recovery method for the cavity radio frequency voltage may include, for example, operations S201 to S203.

[0043] In operation S201, the cavity radio frequency voltage of the monitoring cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system is restored.

[0044] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a low-level device is used to monitor the pulse radio frequency voltage Vp or the continuous pulse radio frequency voltage Vc and transmit it to the programmable control module in real time.

[0045] When operating S202, after the cavity RF voltage drops to zero, monitor the interlock condition normal signal and the power source normal signal.

[0046] In this embodiment, the programmable control module determines whether the monitored interlocking condition normal signal Si and power source normal signal Sp are both normal. If either one is abnormal or both are abnormal, an alarm signal is issued to indicate that the cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system is malfunctioning. If both are normal, operation S203 is executed.

[0047] In operation S203, the high-frequency cavity is tuned through the low-level device and the fine-tuning ring until the pulse RF voltage and continuous RF voltage of the high-frequency cavity meet the preset conditions, thus completing the RF voltage recovery.

[0048] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a method for tuning a high-frequency cavity according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the method for tuning the high-frequency cavity may include, for example, operations S301 to S303.

[0050] When operating S301, the fine-tuning ring is controlled to rotate along the first direction to monitor the changing trend of the pulsed radio frequency voltage or continuous radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity.

[0051] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the first direction may be, for example, a positive direction or a negative direction, and the specific rotation direction may be determined according to the inherent configuration of the fine-tuning ring, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0052] When operating S302, if the trend of the pulsed RF voltage or continuous RF voltage of the high-frequency cavity is that it continuously decreases as the fine-tuning ring rotates along the first direction, the fine-tuning ring is controlled to rotate along the second direction.

[0053] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first direction and the second direction are opposite. For example, if the first direction is positive, then the second direction is negative; if the first direction is negative, then the second direction is positive.

[0054] In operation S303, the fine-tuning ring is controlled to rotate along the second direction until the pulse radio frequency voltage or continuous radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity changes from an upward trend to a downward trend. Then, the fine-tuning ring is controlled to rotate along the first direction to the position corresponding to the previously monitored maximum value of the pulse radio frequency voltage or the maximum value of the continuous radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity.

[0055] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the control ring is switched from the first direction to the second direction, the trend of the pulsed radio frequency voltage or the continuous radio frequency voltage will change. It will no longer continuously decrease, and the pulsed radio frequency voltage or the continuous radio frequency voltage will gradually increase. However, after reaching a certain value, the pulsed radio frequency voltage or the continuous radio frequency voltage will no longer increase and will show a decreasing trend. After the pulsed radio frequency voltage or the continuous radio frequency voltage changes from an increasing trend to a decreasing trend, the position corresponding to the previously monitored maximum value of the pulsed radio frequency voltage or the maximum value of the continuous radio frequency voltage of the high-frequency cavity can be reached when the control ring is switched from the second direction to the first direction.

[0056] Figure 4 The schematic diagram illustrates the specific flowchart of operation S203 provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, operation S203 may include, for example, operations S401 to S405.

[0058] When operating the S401, the frequency tuning of the low-level device is controlled by the programmable module to open-loop mode, the amplitude output of the RF signal is zero, and the output mode of the RF signal is pulse mode.

[0059] When operating S402, the programmable control module controls the low-level device's RF signal output to be turned on, and increases the amplitude of the RF signal by a preset step.

[0060] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the preset step size can be, for example, 0.2, and the full-amplitude output can be 10.

[0061] When operating S403, the pulse radio frequency voltage is monitored. Based on the magnitude of the pulse radio frequency voltage, the high-frequency cavity is tuned through a low-level device and a fine-tuning ring until the pulse radio frequency voltage reaches the first target value.

[0062] The specific process can be as follows: Determine whether the pulse RF voltage Vp is zero. If the pulse RF voltage Vp is not zero, increase the amplitude by one step, and then tune the high-frequency cavity once through the low-level device and the fine-tuning loop until the pulse RF voltage Vp reaches the first target value Vp1.

[0063] When operating S404, the output mode of the low-level device's radio frequency signal is switched from pulse mode to continuous mode via the programmable module.

[0064] During operation S405, the continuous radio frequency voltage is monitored. Based on the magnitude of the continuous radio frequency voltage, the high-frequency cavity is tuned through a low-level device and a fine-tuning loop until the continuous radio frequency voltage reaches the second target value.

[0065] The specific process can be as follows: First, determine whether the continuous RF voltage Vc exceeds the second target value Vc1. If the pulsed RF voltage Vc exceeds the second target value Vc1, reduce the amplitude of the RF signal by a preset step size until the pulsed RF voltage is less than the second target value and the difference between the pulsed RF voltage and the second target value reaches a preset value (e.g., 2kV). Then, tune the high-frequency cavity using a low-level device and a fine-tuning loop to bring the continuous RF voltage Vc to the second target value Vc1. Repeat this process until the tuned voltage Vc reaches the second target value Vc1. Second, if the pulsed RF voltage Vc does not exceed the second target value Vc1, tune the high-frequency cavity using a low-level device and a fine-tuning loop to bring the continuous RF voltage Vc to the second target value Vc1. Repeat this process until the tuned voltage Vc reaches the second target value Vc1.

[0066] After the pulsed RF voltage Vp reaches the first target value Vp1 and the continuous RF voltage Vc reaches the second target value Vc1, the frequency of the low-level device is controlled by the programmable control module to enter closed-loop mode, and then the amplitude stabilization and phase stabilization are controlled sequentially to enter closed-loop mode. At this point, the RF voltage recovery is complete.

[0067] According to the cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, based on the configured cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system, reasonable tuning logic is set to better realize the automatic recovery of cavity radio frequency voltage.

[0068] In summary, the cavity radio frequency voltage automatic recovery system and method provided in this disclosure embodiment achieve real-time and rapid response to automatic recovery of loading after radio frequency drops to zero. It can automatically monitor the power source and interlock status, avoid the inefficiencies of manual operation, and reduce the risk of equipment damage.

[0069] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this disclosure. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
