Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pulse power, in particular to a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) folding structure for a near square wave high-voltage generating circuit.
Background
The metal oxide piezoresistor has nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics, is mainly used for limiting transient overvoltage in a circuit and absorbing surge energy, and can be applied to the generation of near square wave pulses in the technical field of pulse power based on the voltage stabilizing characteristic of MOV. Generally, a Marx generator generates high-voltage pulses, and the MOV stabilizes the overvoltage near the voltage-sensitive voltage value of the high-voltage pulses, so that pulse square wave output can be obtained on a load. In particular implementations, because of the limited voltage-dependent voltage of a single MOV, it is often necessary to stabilize higher voltages by connecting a large number of MOV cells in series. In the working process, under the condition that a plurality of MOV monomers are connected in series, the structure is adopted, the inductance can be reduced, and meanwhile, the insulation capacity of the whole structure is increased as much as possible, so that the method becomes a key engineering problem.
The researchers of the national defense science and technology university are the trekking course and the academic paper research on the high-voltage pulse forming technology based on the metal oxide piezoresistor introduces an MOV near square wave generating circuit and two different MOV folding structures, and the two MOV folding structures are respectively called as a structure 1 and a structure 2 below. The MOV near square wave generating circuit is shown in fig. 1 and comprises a Marx generator, an MOV assembly, an LC filter branch, an inductor L1 and a discharge switch S1, wherein the MOV assembly comprises an MOV folding structure and a fixed supporting structure. The metal oxide piezoresistors in the structure 1 are divided into two groups according to the number average, and MOV monomers in each group are tightly connected to form an MOV column. As shown in fig. 2, the two MOV posts rely on copper plate electrodes at the bottom for direction switching and electrical connection. There are horseshoe shaped copper electrodes on the top of each MOV post for connection to other wires. The structure folds the MOV to be connected in series, so that the directions of currents in the left MOV column and the right MOV column are opposite, the directions of generated induction magnetic fields are opposite to each other due to the opposite directions, and the total inductance is reduced. In the structure 1, each MOV column contains 7 metal oxide varistors at most, the whole folding structure contains 14 metal oxide varistors at most, each MOV is estimated according to the voltage-dependent voltage of 7.5kV, and the structure 1 can realize the voltage output of more than 100 kV. When the voltage output requirement is higher, the structure 1 is no longer satisfactory for use, and the structure 2 is provided on the basis of the trefoil. As shown in fig. 3, the circuit load in the structure 2 is placed in the center, 5 MOV columns are arranged at equal intervals by taking the load as an axis, the distance between each MOV column and the load is equal, and the included angle between the adjacent MOV columns and the connecting line of the load is equal. The load and the first MOV post between realize connecting through the input electrode, realize connecting through the copper electrode between the adjacent MOV post, whole structure carries out a large amount of MOV monomers in series. The folding structure 2 is fixedly supported through a supporting structure to jointly form an MOV assembly, and can be applied to engineering experiments. The supporting structure comprises a fixing plate, an upper cover, a lower bottom, an outer cylinder, a supporting nylon column and a screw rod. The fixed plate is provided with holes corresponding to the MOV column and the load, and the MOV column and the load pass through the fixed plate and are fixed on the fixed plate through a support nylon column and a screw rod. The upper cover is opened, the fixing plate is placed into the barrel and is attached to the outer barrel, and after the upper cover is covered, the whole assembly is assembled and fixed. Structure 2 accommodates a maximum of 10 metal oxide varistors per MOV column and a maximum of 50 metal oxide varistors per folded structure, and structure 2 is expected to achieve voltage outputs above 350 kV.
Through different designs, the two structures can respectively realize 100kV and 300kV magnitude voltage output in the near square wave generating circuit, can reasonably reduce MOV branch inductance and improve the insulating capability as much as possible. However, the following problems still remain: 1. one of the technical indexes pursued in the field of pulse power is higher output voltage, and the structure cannot meet the requirement of higher 500 kV-order output voltage. 2. When the output voltage is increased to 500kV magnitude, the coaxial and equidistant structure causes serious uneven voltage distribution in the structure, and the electric field of partial area is overlarge, thus being easy to generate breakdown.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: aiming at the problems of low output voltage level and easy breakdown of partial areas of two existing MOV folding structures, a novel MOV folding structure for a near square wave generating circuit is provided, the problem that the existing MOV folding structure cannot meet the output voltage of higher 500kV magnitude is solved, and the problems that when the voltage is increased to the higher magnitude, the pressure distribution in the structure is seriously uneven due to the coaxial and equidistant structure, the electric field of partial areas is overlarge, and the breakdown is easy to occur are solved.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
an MOV folding structure for a near square wave generating circuit is presented. The folding structure can support high voltage output above 500kV, and the problem that partial areas are prone to breakdown due to uneven pressure distribution can be effectively solved by adopting a coaxial gradually-opening arrangement mode, so that the insulating capability of the whole structure is improved.
The invention is an improvement on the basis of a folding structure 2 in the background technology, increases the number of MOV columns and changes the arrangement of the MOV columns from coaxial equal spacing to coaxial gradual-open type. The invention consists of 7 MOV columns, an input electrode, a copper plate electrode and a load. The coaxial involute is distributed in an involute shape by taking the load as an axis and sequentially increasing the distance from the first MOV column to the seventh MOV column to the load. The top of the load is a high-voltage input end of an MOV folding structure, and the top of the load is connected with the top of the first MOV column through an input electrode. The MOV monomer on every MOV post stacks neatly with the same axle, and the low voltage end of last MOV post realizes the electricity through the copper electrode with the high voltage end of next MOV post. In the experiment, the MOV folding structure needs to be fixed in an outer cylinder, the outer cylinder is grounded, the specific supporting device can see the background technology, and the openings in the fixing plate only need to correspond to the positions of the first MOV column to the seventh MOV column of the current folding structure and the load, and the rest of the structure is consistent with the original design. The design principle is as follows: according to the change of the potential difference between the load and different MOV columns, the distance between the load and different MOV columns is reasonably adjusted, the local field intensity is prevented from being too high, and the insulating capability is improved. Because the MOVs are connected in series in a folding mode, each MOV monomer generates voltage drop, the outer cylinder is grounded, the potential difference between the load and the first MOV column to the seventh MOV column is gradually increased, the potential difference between the outer cylinder and the first MOV column to the seventh MOV column is gradually reduced, and therefore the mode of gradually increasing the distance between the load and the MOV is adopted to avoid overhigh local field intensity.
The specific location of each MOV post can be represented in a two-dimensional plan view. For convenience of description, the parameters in the design scheme are uniformly introduced:wherein x1,y1The initial value is determined by the input voltage of the high-voltage end.

The MOV folding structure can contain 70 effective MOVs at most, and when an MOV monomer with the voltage-sensitive voltage of more than or equal to 7.5kV is selected, high-voltage output of more than 500kV can be realized.
The working process of the invention is as follows: the existing MOV near square wave generating circuit in the background art is adopted, and only the MOV folding structure is replaced and adjusted. In the experiment, the MOV folding structure is arranged on the supporting and fixing structure shown in the background technology figure 3 and is connected with a load in parallel, when the Marx generator generates an output pulse signal with higher magnitude, the MOV folding structure limits the voltage, and a near square wave high-voltage pulse signal with 500kV magnitude can be obtained on the load at most.
Compared with the prior art, the invention can achieve the following effects:
1. the MOV folding structure can contain more MOV monomers, can bear higher-level voltage output, and has the highest output voltage of more than 500 kV.
2. The MOV column adopts a coaxial gradually-opened arrangement design, the arrangement mode effectively relieves the risk of breakdown caused by overhigh voltage at a certain position in the original structure, and the insulating capability of the whole assembly is improved.

This corresponds to an input voltage of 1V and is chosen to show the maximum of the field strength, i.e. the field strength at any point in the figure is the maximum of the field strength at that point during the entire period of application of the excitation signal. The electric field distribution diagram is originally a color diagram (which is changed into pure black and white according to the requirements of patent laws), and the approximate electric field intensity of each position in the structure can be known corresponding to the color of the upper right scale (electric field intensity, unit: V/m) in the diagram. Figure 7(a) is the overall electric field distribution of the MOV module, where the field strength (darkest in colour) is significantly greater at the input end near the housing and at the axis than elsewhere in the module, with a maximum field strength of about 54.5V/m, much less than the maximum field strength of 118.9V/m for structure 2 of the prior art at the same input voltage. Fig. 7(b) is the two-dimensional electric field distribution of the input electrode plane, and it can be seen that the two ends of the input electrode are the maximum field intensity (deepest color) which is about 46.7V/m, and is also smaller than the maximum field intensity 62.24V/m of the structure 2 in the background art under the same input voltage condition. The invention really solves the problem of overlarge field intensity of partial areas and improves the insulating capability of the whole structure.
