Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-voltage and high-current gas switch, and more particularly to a compact high-voltage and high-current gas switch triggered by weak laser, a device and a Marx driver source. Background Art

[0002] The high-voltage and high-current gas switch is an important component of the high-power Marx driver source, and its working stability and synchronization are of great significance to the stable operation of the driver source. In addition, in recent years, in order to ensure good output waveforms, the industry has been continuously increasing the requirements for the compactness of the Marx driver source. How to achieve the compactness of the Marx driver source is an important research topic in the field, and the compact design of the gas switch is an important aspect among them.

[0003] Currently, commonly used gas switches include laser-triggered gas switches and electric-triggered gas switches, etc. Laser-triggered gas switches are difficult to be applied in Marx driver sources with high compactness requirements due to the high energy requirements of lasers and the complex optical paths. The ground potential of electric-triggered gas switches cannot be floating, and the triggering ability is weak when outputting fast-front pulses. If it is used as the triggering switch of the Marx driver source, problems such as the potential rise at the output end of the triggering switch causing insulation failure and the difficulty in achieving synchronous conduction between multi-stage triggering switches are likely to occur, which is not conducive to the rapid establishment and stable operation of the Marx driver source.

[0004] Chinese Patent ZL202211041621.5 discloses a repetitive frequency gas switch triggered by weak laser energy and its implementation method. This gas switch has the advantages of strong triggering ability, floating ground potential, and optical isolation between the triggering switch and the low-voltage triggering circuit. If it is used as the triggering switch of the Marx driver source, it is expected to achieve the synchronous and stable operation of the Marx driver source. However, the above-mentioned triggering switch includes complex components such as three electrodes, a triggering circuit, and an optical path for triggering the photoconductive switch. If it is applied as the triggering switch of the Marx driver source, there are certain difficulties in the compact design.

[0005] In summary, the high-voltage repetitive frequency gas switch triggered by weak laser energy, as the triggering switch of the Marx driver source, is expected to achieve the synchronous and stable operation of the Marx driver source. However, due to the special requirements of the Marx driver source in terms of structural compactness, it poses relatively high requirements for the compact design of the gas switch. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0050] To make the objectives, advantages, and features of the present invention clearer, the following further elaborates in detail on a weak-laser-triggered compact high-voltage and high-current gas switch, device, and Marx driver source proposed by the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. According to the following specific implementation manners, the advantages and features of the present invention will be clearer. It should be noted that: the accompanying drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, only for conveniently and clearly assisting in explaining the objectives of the embodiments of the present invention; secondly, the structures shown in the accompanying drawings are often part of the actual structures.

[0051] See Figure 1 , an embodiment of a weak-laser-triggered compact high-voltage and high-current gas switch device mainly includes parts such as a high-voltage electrode 1, a low-voltage electrode 2, a trigger electrode 3, a support insulator 4, a connecting piece 5, an insulating cover 6, an inversion element 7, an optical waveguide switch 8, an energy transmission optical fiber 9, and a laser 10.

[0052] Attached Figure 1 The specific structure of the high-voltage electrode 1 shown is as Figure 2 shown, its material is metal, and it is composed of an annular plate 11 and a flexible ring 12 combined together. The flexible ring 12 is on one (left) side of the annular plate 11, and the end is rounded.

[0053] As shown in the attached Figure 3As shown, the material of the low-voltage electrode 2 is metal, which is also composed of a ring plate 11 and a flexible ring 12. However, during installation, the flexible ring 12 is located on the other (right) side of the ring plate 11.

[0054] As shown in the Figure 4 attachment, the material of the trigger electrode 3 is also metal. Its main structure is a sector-shaped ring plate 13 with the edges of the sector ring 13 rounded. At the midpoint of the inner arc of the sector ring 13, a long connecting plate 14 extends inward along the normal direction of the arc surface. The sector ring plate 13 and the connecting plate 14 have the same thickness.

[0055] As shown in the Figure 5 attachment, the material of the support insulator 4 is an insulating material with high mechanical strength, and its structure is a circumferential ring structure with a certain thickness. At the axial midpoint position of the support insulator 4, first mounting grooves 15 leading from the outer ring surface to the inner ring surface are uniformly designed along the circumferential direction (two are evenly distributed in the figure, and one or more are also possible). The first mounting grooves 15 are in a tight fit relationship with the trigger electrode 3 in terms of dimensions.

[0056] As shown in the Figure 7 attachment, the material of the insulating cover 6 is the same as that of the support insulator 4, and its structure is also a coaxial ring. Its axial length is similar to that of the support insulator 4, and the inner ring diameter is larger than the outer ring diameter of the support insulator 4.

[0057] As shown in the Figure 1 attachment, the high-voltage electrode 1, low-voltage electrode 2, trigger electrode 3, support insulator 4, and insulating cover 6 are tightly fitted together to form the main body of the three-electrode gas switch.

[0058] During assembly, the trigger electrode 3 is inserted and fixed to the support insulator 4 from the outside to the inside through the first mounting grooves 15 on the support insulator 4. Moreover, the outer arc surface of the sector ring plate 13 of the trigger electrode 3 protrudes to the outside of the outer ring surface of the support insulator 4, and together with the high-voltage electrode 1 and low-voltage electrode 2 installed on the left and right sides of the support insulator 4, they form the three electrodes of the gas switch; while the end of the connecting plate 14 of the trigger electrode 3 pierces out from the inner ring of the support insulator, facilitating connection to the trigger circuit composed of the inversion element 7 and the optical switch 8. To ensure that the two trigger electrodes 3 evenly distributed circumferentially are at the same potential, as shown in the Figure 6The trigger electrode connector 5 made of the shown metal material connects the ends of the connecting plates 14 of the two trigger electrodes 3 inside the inner hole of the support insulator 4 to achieve good electrical contact. During installation, the insulating cover 6 is coaxially located outside the support insulator 4 and is fixed in position by cooperating with the high-voltage electrode 1 and the low-voltage electrode 2. Among them, the high-voltage electrode 1 is cooperatively installed on one (right) side of the axis of the support insulator 4 and the insulating cover 6, and the low-voltage electrode 2 is cooperatively installed on the other (left) side of the axis. Moreover, the resilient rings 12 of the high-voltage electrode 1 and the low-voltage electrode 2 are in a facing relationship. The high-voltage electrode 1, the low-voltage electrode 2, the support insulator 4, and the insulating cover 6 form a quasi-closed cavity, which is the working cavity of the gas switch. This can prevent the powdered products after the breakdown of the gas switch from spreading randomly within the entire device and affecting the insulation of other components outside the switch.

[0059] To achieve the compact installation of the inversion element 7, on the side where the support insulator 4 and the low-voltage electrode 2 are assembled, an arc-shaped second installation groove 16 with a radian of 270° is designed. The second installation groove 16 is radially located in the area between the inner ring of the low-voltage electrode 2 and the inner ring of the support insulator 4. The second installation groove 16 is used to place the inversion element 7. As shown in the appendix Figure 8 As shown, the inversion element 7 is an inversion inductor or an inversion resistor, which is a flexible structure. After being bent into an arc shape, it basically fills the 270° radian area. A long strip-shaped third installation groove 17 along the axis is provided at the starting end of the second installation groove 16 for placing the optical switch 8.

[0060] The used optical switch 8 is as shown in the appendix Figure 9 As shown, it is quasi-long strip-shaped and consists of an optical guide substrate 18, a high-voltage electrode 19, and a low-voltage electrode 20. The high-voltage electrode 19 is located at the radially outer end of the third installation groove 17, and the low-voltage electrode 20 is located at the radially inner end. The high-voltage electrode 19 is connected to the starting end of the inversion element 7, and the low-voltage electrode 20 is connected to the connector 5 through a connecting wire. The end of the inversion element 7 is connected to the low-voltage electrode 2. A through hole is provided at the position where the third installation groove 17 in the support insulator 4 faces the right side surface of the optical guide substrate 18. This through hole is connected to the third installation groove 17, so that the input end of the energy transmission optical fiber 9 passes through the support insulator 4 from right to left through this through hole. After injecting the laser energy through the output end, it is transmitted to the surface of the optical guide substrate 18 to achieve its trigger conduction. The used energy transmission optical fiber 9 is as Figure 10 shown, which is an existing non-standard product. Its input end is a cylindrical section 23, which matches the incident light spot of the laser 10, so that the laser energy is evenly transmitted to the end. While the output end is a frustum of a pyramid section 22. The input end to the output end of the energy transmission optical fiber 9 is wedge-shaped from a circular cross-section to a square cross-section by using the tapering process, which matches the cross-section of the optical guide substrate 18 while ensuring the transmission efficiency.

[0061] Through a structurally compact design, the inversion element 7 of the trigger gas switch, the photoconductive switch 8, etc. are located near the high-voltage electrode 1, the low-voltage electrode 2, and the trigger electrode 3. During the operation of the switch, the potential difference between the above-mentioned components is relatively constant. Even if the potential of the switch electrode rises significantly, the electric field on the vulnerable components such as the inversion element 7 and the photoconductive switch 8 will not increase significantly. Thus, the invented trigger gas switch can be used as a multi-stage trigger switch for the Marx driver source. Even during the establishment of the Marx driver source, the potential of the subsequent trigger gas switch will continuously increase as the previous trigger switch conducts. Due to the special advantages of the invented compact trigger gas switch, components such as the photoconductive switch 8 and the isolation inductor 7 will not be damaged due to the enhancement of the high electric field. More importantly, the simultaneous operation of multiple trigger switches can be controlled by a fiber optic cable with one input and multiple outputs, which is simple and convenient.
