[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please see Figure 1-4Specifically, in this embodiment of the high-pressure gas switch circuit, the high-pressure gas switch circuit provided in this application specifically includes: a high-pressure capacitor C1, a high-pressure gas switch K1, a voltage divider resistor R1, and a load L1; one end of the high-pressure capacitor C1 is connected to one end of the voltage divider resistor R1, and the other end of the voltage divider resistor R1 serves as a voltage detection terminal connected to an external voltage detection circuit; the other end of the high-pressure capacitor C1 is connected to one end of the load L1, and the other end of the load L1 is grounded; the first end of the high-pressure gas switch K1 is connected to one end of the high-pressure capacitor C1, the second end of the high-pressure gas switch K1 is connected to the other end of the load L1, and the trigger terminal of the high-pressure gas switch K1 is connected to an external trigger signal; one end of the high-pressure capacitor C1 is connected to an external charging power supply.
[0029] Specifically, this utility model embodiment provides a high-voltage gas switch circuit, including a high-voltage capacitor C1, a high-voltage gas switch K1, a voltage divider resistor R1, and a load L1. One end of the high-voltage capacitor C1 is connected to one end of the voltage divider resistor R1, and the other end of the voltage divider resistor R1 serves as a voltage detection terminal connected to an external voltage detection circuit. The other end of the high-voltage capacitor C1 is connected to one end of the load L1, and the other end of the load L1 is grounded. The first end of the high-voltage gas switch K1 is connected to one end of the high-voltage capacitor C1, and the second end of the high-voltage gas switch K1 is connected to the other end of the load L1. The trigger terminal of the high-voltage gas switch K1 is connected to an external trigger signal. One end of the high-voltage capacitor C1 is connected to an external charging power supply. This embodiment improves circuit safety by grounding the high-voltage gas switch K1 and one end of the load. The high-voltage capacitor C1 is in a discharging and charging state corresponding to the conduction and cutoff of the high-voltage gas switch K1, storing energy through the high-voltage capacitor C1 to generate high current and high voltage instantaneously during discharge. This application achieves high safety and low cost.
[0030] The high-voltage gas switch K1 is a switch device with built-in inert gas that is insulating when there is no breakdown and conducting after breakdown. The advantages of this switch are that it has a high withstand voltage of over 30KV, a withstand current of over 100A, relatively low cost, and simple operation. That is, applying a certain voltage to the trigger terminal will make the entire internal space completely conductive.
[0031] In one possible implementation, the high-pressure gas switch circuit further includes a voltage detection resistor R2, one end of which is connected to a voltage detection terminal, and the other end of which is grounded. An external voltage detection circuit is connected in parallel across the voltage detection resistor R2, thereby allowing the voltage value across the voltage detection resistor R2 to be detected by the external voltage detection circuit.
[0032] Specifically, the charge flows from the P2 terminal through the high-voltage capacitor C1 to the load L1. At this time, the current is very small (<100mA), and the load L1 is equivalent to a short circuit, with the current flowing directly through the load L1 to the ground wire; the P1 terminal is for voltage detection feedback. Figure 2 The voltage curve at terminal P1 during normal charging is shown. Figure 3 This is the voltage curve at terminal P1 when the capacitor or load is open.
[0033] When the high-voltage capacitor C1 charges to the set value and stops charging, a brief breakdown voltage is generated between terminals P3 and P4, causing the high-voltage gas switch K1 to break down and short-circuit. At this time, the charging input port (P2 terminal) of the high-voltage capacitor C1 will be short-circuited to ground, and the charge of the high-voltage capacitor C1 will be output to the load L1. Figure 4 The curve represents the current applied to the load L1 as a function of time when the high-voltage capacitor C1 discharges.
[0034] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the charging level of the capacitor can be detected by connecting terminal P1 (voltage detection terminal) to an external voltage detection circuit; a constant current source can be connected between terminals P2 and P5 to charge the high-voltage capacitor C1; terminals P4 and P5 in the attached diagram are common ground terminals, and an external trigger circuit can be connected between P3 and P4 to trigger the high-voltage gas switch K1 to conduct. Terminals P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are configured to facilitate connection to external circuits.
[0035] It is understood that in the circuit provided by this application, the capacitor will be left floating after the load disconnects and will not be charged. Furthermore, the voltage curve during voltage charging can be analyzed on the system to determine whether there is any floating equipment in the system.
[0036] In one possible implementation, the voltage sensing resistor R2 has a resistance of 50 MΩ.
[0037] In one possible implementation, the voltage divider resistor R1 has a resistance of 50MΩ, which reduces the voltage at the voltage detection terminal to a safe voltage and forms a proportional signal with the voltage of the capacitor.
[0038] In one possible implementation, the charging power supply is a constant current source. This constant current source outputs a constant current, which is then used to charge the high-voltage capacitor C1.
[0039] In one possible implementation, the load L1 is any one of an electromagnet-type shock wave lithotripter, a gas lamp, and an electromagnetic pulse generator.
[0040] The circuit provided in this application is suitable for use in scenarios that require instantaneous generation of high current (>100A / 10uS) or high voltage (>10KV), such as electromagnetic disc shock wave crushers, gas lamps, electromagnetic pulse generators, etc.
