The electrode lead is electrically connected with the metal powder in the inside of the electrode tube, and the electrode lead is connected with the external positive high voltage (or negative high voltage) after being led out from the pipe opening of the electrode tube. The problem of the above technical solution is that after the electrode tube is filled with metal conductive powder, the resistance of the electrode tube is large, the temperature is high during work, and the electrode tube is prone to be blown.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the existing technical solution is to set a metal coating on the inner wall of the metal tube to solve the problem of filling metal powder, such as the technical solution disclosed in the Chinese invention patent with the application number 202111509907.7 and the application date of December 10, 2021, and the patent name "Dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator". However, the problem of the technical solution is that the starting end of the electrode lead and the metal coating has a certain resistance, so there is a risk of tube explosion due to excessive heating.

[0024] Figures 1-6 This is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-6 The present invention will be further described below.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a plasma generator includes a shell 5 with an open upper end. One end of the shell 5 is sealed by a flange 1 for air intake, and the other end is sealed by a fixed tailstock 7. Waterproof covers 3 are respectively provided on the inner end faces of the flange 1 and the fixed tailstock 7. The waterproof covers 3 at both ends extend horizontally into the inside of the shell 5 to shield the fixing points of the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6, thus avoiding the disadvantage of water vapor and impurities in the air easily causing ionization at the fixing points of the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6.

[0026] Several positive electrodes 4 are arranged side by side inside the housing 5, and several negative electrodes 6 are arranged side by side below the positive electrodes 4. One end of the positive electrodes 4 and the negative electrodes 6 passes through the fixed tail bracket 7, and the fixed tail bracket 7 fixes one end of the positive electrodes 4 and the negative electrodes 6. One end of the positive electrodes 4 and the negative electrodes 6 passes through the pan head flange 1, and the pan head flange 1 fixes the other end of the positive electrodes 4 and the negative electrodes 6.

[0027] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the positive electrode 4 includes a positive electrode tube 9, which is bent radially vertically at both ends and then bent axially a second time. The negative electrode 6 includes a negative electrode tube 11, which has a straight structure. Therefore, when the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6 are fixed by the fixing tail bracket 7 and the pan flange 1, the fixing points of the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6 are arranged vertically, avoiding the potential problems caused by the small distance between the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6. Furthermore, the bends at both ends of the positive electrode 4 are gentler, eliminating the need for vertical bending, and the stress on the bends of the positive electrode tube 9 is smaller, resulting in a longer service life.

[0028] A positive electrode lead 8 is provided at the center inside the positive electrode tube 9, and a negative electrode lead 10 is provided inside the negative electrode tube 11. One end of the positive electrode lead 8 is led out from the tube opening of the positive electrode tube 9, and similarly, one end of the negative electrode lead 10 is led out from the tube opening of the negative electrode tube 11.

[0029] In both the positive electrode tube 9 and the negative electrode tube 11, a primary metal film 16 is deposited on their respective inner walls using a deposition process, combined with... Figure 6The positive electrode lead 8 extends along the axis of the positive electrode tube 9 inside the tube 9 to the center of the tube 9, forming a contact point 15 at the center. This contact point 15 contacts the metal film 16 on the inner wall of the tube 9, achieving electrical connection. Since the contact point 15 between the positive electrode lead 8 and the metal film 16 is located in the middle of the tube 9, when the positive electrode lead 8 is connected to an external high-voltage power supply, current shunting is achieved at the metal film 16. This prevents the tube from overheating and bursting due to the resistance of the metal film 16 when the positive electrode lead 8 is connected to its end. The negative electrode lead 10 is connected to the metal film 16 inside the negative electrode tube 11 in the same way as the positive electrode 4, with the contact point 15 located at the center of the negative electrode tube 11. Further details are omitted.

[0030] An insulating column 2 is provided on the surface of the pan flange 1. The insulating column 2 and the outer surface of the pan flange 1 form three cavities. All positive electrodes 4 are connected to the positive electrode cavity at the top, and all negative electrodes 6 are connected to the negative electrode cavity at the bottom. The cavity in the middle of the surface of the insulating column 2 and the pan flange 1 is a fixing cavity. The fixing bolt passes through the fixing cavity from the outside of the insulating column 2 and is threaded to the pan flange 1 to fix the insulating column 2.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a junction cap 12 is provided on the outside of the positive electrode chamber. The positive electrode leads 8, which are led out from the positive electrode tube 9, pass through the insulating post 2 and are connected to the junction cap 12. The positive terminal of the external high-voltage power supply is introduced into the positive electrode 4 through the junction cap 12. Similarly, another junction cap 12 is provided on the outside of the positive electrode chamber. The negative electrode leads 10, which are led out from the negative electrode tube 11, pass through the insulating post 2 and are connected to the corresponding junction cap 12. The negative terminal of the external high-voltage power supply is introduced into the negative electrode 6 through the junction cap 12. Therefore, in this plasma generator, the leads of the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6 are led out from the same end of the housing 5, avoiding the inconvenience of external wiring caused by the prior art, which requires the leads of the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 6 to be led out from the two ends of the housing 5 respectively (such as the technical solution recorded in Chinese invention patent application number 202322599299.4, application date September 5, 2023, patent name "A Plasma Generator and a Fixed Insulating Bridge for its Electrodes").

[0032] Further integration Figure 5At the position where the positive electrode tube 9 passes through the pan flange 1, an outer sleeve 13 and an inner liner 14 are fitted at the opening of the pan flange 1. The positive electrode tube 9 passes through the gap between the outer sleeve 13 and the inner liner 14. The negative electrode tube 11 is fixed using the same structure. In this plasma generator, the tube bodies of the electrode tubes (positive electrode tube 9 and negative electrode tube 11) are fixed using a structure with the outer sleeve 13 and the inner liner 14 spaced apart. The tube bodies of the electrode tubes are positioned between the inner liner 14 and the outer sleeve 13, forming an insulating structure at the ends of the electrode, the inner liner 14, and the outer sleeve 13, resulting in better insulation performance.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
