Detailed Description
The gas discharge tube mentioned in this specification is a component connected in parallel to a line to be protected for protecting equipment connected to the line from overvoltage. When the line voltage is equal to the breakdown voltage of the gas discharge tube, the gas discharge tube is conducted, so that the line voltage is not higher than the breakdown voltage of the gas discharge tube. The voltage drop of the gas discharge tube after conduction is generally 20-50V, and the through-current capacity can reach more than thousands of amperes; different from various semiconductor switching elements at present, the frequency (or speed) of the impact current flowing through the gas discharge tube after conduction is not influenced by the gas discharge tube at all; when the switch is used as a discharge switch for obtaining the surge current, the conduction delay of the gas discharge tube has no negative influence on the high-speed surge current. The principle circuit for obtaining high-speed impact current by using a gas discharge tube as a discharge switch, which is provided by the background document and takes the test of a high-frequency current sensor as an example, is shown in fig. 1. In the figure, S0 and S1 are a standard current sensor and a measured current sensor, respectively, and when the charging circuit is started to charge the energy storage capacitor C during operation, after the capacitor voltage reaches the breakdown voltage of the gas discharge tube, the gas discharge tube serving as the discharge switch K is broken down and conducted, and the energy in the energy storage capacitor is discharged through the discharge circuit to provide a surge current to the standard current sensor S0 and the measured current sensor S1 so as to test the performance of the measured current sensor.
By adopting the principle circuit shown in fig. 1, the parameters of the energy storage capacitor C and the parameters of the loop resistance R and the loop inductance L including the conductor resistance and the conductor inductance in the capacitor discharge loop are properly configured, so that the impulse current with the fast rising speed in the nanosecond level and the current peak value up to the ampere or even thousands of amperes can be obtained, and the impulse current obtained by adopting any other electronic device to form the discharge switch cannot reach the technical index at present. However, when a single gas discharge tube is used as the discharge switch, the peak value of the rush current determined by the capacitor discharge voltage depends on the breakdown voltage of the gas discharge tube after the structural parameters of the discharge circuit are determined, and cannot be changed or adjusted by triggering control.
Since the purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of controlled triggering of a gas discharge switch formed by a gas discharge tube, for convenience of description, "gas discharge switch" is also referred to as "discharge switch" for short in this specification, or "discharge switch" and "gas discharge switch" are equivalent when the description of the principles of the present application is concerned; compare in the direct mode of switching on by capacitor voltage puncture of discharge switch, the utility model discloses "controlled triggering" for discharge switch is defined to the mode that makes discharge switch on through trigger signal, is called "controlled triggering discharge switch" to the discharge switch that has controlled trigger function.
The present invention will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Among the gas discharge tube family is a three-electrode gas discharge tube for protecting against double-line overvoltage to ground. On the internal structure, the three-electrode gas discharge tube is equivalent to the series connection of two gas discharge tubes with the same breakdown voltage and communicated gas paths; when the three-electrode gas discharge tube is used as a protection element, the center electrode of the three-electrode gas discharge tube is grounded, the two end electrodes are respectively connected with the two protected circuits, when overvoltage signals higher than breakdown voltage of the gas discharge tube appear on the two protected circuits, the two gas discharge tubes are simultaneously conducted to clamp the overvoltage of the circuits to the ground, and the clamping current flows into the ground through the center electrode.
According to the controlled triggering principle and the triggering wiring mode of the gas discharge switch provided by the utility model, after the voltage-sharing treatment is carried out on two gas discharge tubes in the three-electrode gas discharge tube, one three-electrode gas discharge tube can also conveniently form a controlled triggering gas discharge switch; in a three-electrode gas dischargeOn the basis of the structure and the manufacturing process of the tube, based on the utility model discloses the controlled trigger voltage adjustment range and the V that deriveAAnd VBThe relationship of (1) reasonably configuring the breakdown voltage of the central electrode to the two end electrodes, optimizing the gas circuit structure and the structure of the central electrode, and possibly providing an integrated gas discharge switch which has excellent performance, wider voltage adjustment range and can be triggered in a controlled manner.
As shown in fig. 3, the center electrode of the three-electrode controlled-trigger gas discharge switch (including the gas discharge switch formed by the existing three-electrode gas discharge tube and the dedicated integrated gas discharge switch manufactured based on the principles of the present application) is the discharge switch trigger electrode G, one of the two end electrodes forms the discharge switch first electrode a, and the other forms the discharge switch second electrode B. Similar to a gas discharge switch constructed with a two-electrode gas discharge tube, the gas discharge tube located between electrodes A, G is defined as QAAnd the gas discharge tube between electrodes B, G is QBIn a gas discharge tube QAAnd QBAre respectively connected with a voltage-sharing resistor R in parallelAAnd RBSo that the voltage equalizing resistor RAAnd RBThe ratio of the resistance values of (A) to (B) is equal to the breakdown voltage V of the gas discharge tubeAAnd VBThe ratio of (A) to (B); when manufacturing the special integrated discharge switch, V can be selected according to the principle given later in the applicationA=2VB(ii) a When the discharge switch is connected with the signal trigger, in order to ensure that the voltage-sharing condition is not damaged, the internal resistance of the signal trigger is far larger than the resistance value of the voltage-sharing resistor RA connected in parallel with the signal trigger.

The principle circuit shown in fig. 5 is used to explain the controlled triggering mechanism of the discharge switch provided in the present application and the principle of using the controlled triggering discharge switch to form a high-speed rush current generator with adjustable peak current.
Gas dischargeControlled triggering mechanism of the switch: electrode a and electrode B of controlled trigger gas discharge switch K are connected in series to the discharge circuit shown in fig. 5, and electrode G and electrode a are connected to the trigger circuit. When the capacitor voltage VC<VA+VBAnd when the trigger circuit does not send a trigger signal, the capacitor voltage cannot cause any gas discharge tube in the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K to be broken down and conducted, so that the discharge switch cannot be conducted. When the trigger circuit sends a peak level higher than V to the discharge switchAPulse signal (hereinafter referred to as "trigger signal"), gas discharge tube QAWill be broken down and conducted by the trigger signal when the gas discharge tube QAAfter conduction, the capacitor voltage VCTo be applied to a gas discharge tube QBIf the capacitor voltage V is present at this timeC≥VBThen gas discharge tube QBTo be VCThe breakdown is switched on, which finally results in a complete conduction of the controlled-triggering gas discharge switch K, which effects a controlled triggering of the gas discharge switch formed by the gas discharge tube.
Relationship between controlled ignition range and breakdown voltage of gas discharge tube: if the highest charging voltage of the energy storage capacitor which does not cause the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K to be directly broken down and conducted is Vmax and the lowest charging voltage which can ensure the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K to be reliably triggered is Vmin, the Vmax and Vmin of the controlled trigger interval of the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K and the breakdown voltages V of the two gas discharge tubes are determinedAAnd VBThe relationship between them should be satisfied.
1. Vmax<VA+VB(otherwise, the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K would be turned on directly by the capacitor voltage breakdown).
2. Vmin≥VB(otherwise, gas discharge tube QBWill not be broken down to conduct and the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K will not be controlled to trigger).
3. Vmin+VB≥VA(otherwise, gas discharge tube QBWill precede QAIs broken down and conducted by a trigger signal, and the gas discharge tube QBAfter conduction, the trigger signal is clamped to be lower than VACapacitor voltage of, first gasThe discharge tube cannot be broken down to conduct and the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K cannot be controlled to trigger).
Get VA=NVBThe above three restrictions are rewritten as follows.
Vmax<(N+1)VB ……(1)
Vmin≥VB ……(2)
Vmin≥(N-1)VB ……(3)
Obviously, Vmin should take the larger of the two vmins determined by formula (2) and formula (3), respectively; due to VAMust be greater than VBTherefore, N must be greater than 1. Obviously, the adjustable range (Vmax-Vmin)/Vmax of the capacitor voltage which is triggered in a controlled manner and expressed by percentage can be ensured to be related to the value of N; it can be easily derived that when N =2, the adjustment range of the capacitor voltage which can be triggered by the discharge switch in a controlled manner is ensured to reach a maximum value of 67% (note: the residual voltage after the gas discharge tube is conducted is not considered in the above analysis). Because the gas paths of the two gas discharge tubes in the existing three-electrode gas discharge tube are communicated, when Q isAWill lower Q when conductingBThe voltage regulation range of the existing three-electrode gas discharge tube used as the controlled trigger discharge switch is larger than 50%.
Since the peak value of the rush current is determined by the discharge voltage of the energy storage capacitor, V is usedA=2VBThe adjustable range of the peak current of the discharge circuit of the discharge switch formed by the gas discharge tubes can reach 67 percent.
The principle of forming a surge current generator with adjustable peak current by using a controlled trigger discharge switch is as follows: in the principle circuit shown in fig. 5, L and R are symbols, not physical elements, used to indicate all conductors and electrodes carrying discharge current, and their own equivalent inductances and their own equivalent resistances, which constitute a discharge circuit, so that the elements connected to L or R in the figure are actually connected to the corresponding conductors or electrodes (the same applies hereinafter).
After the parameters of the discharge switch and the circuit structure are determined, Vmin and Vmax of the lowest and highest capacitor charging voltages which can be controlled and triggered are also determined. In thatSetting the charging voltage Vc of the energy storage capacitor between Vmin and Vmax based on the required peak current, and starting charging the energy storage capacitor C; the capacitor voltage Vc is divided by the R1 and the R2 and then provides a sampling signal for monitoring the capacitor voltage to the charging voltage monitoring and control module, when the voltage at the two ends of the energy storage capacitor is charged to a set voltage, the charging is stopped, the charging voltage monitoring and control module sends a trigger instruction to the trigger circuit, and the trigger circuit sends a peak value level higher than V to the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K based on the instruction
AThe pulse signal triggers the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K to be conducted, after the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K is conducted, the energy stored in the energy storage capacitor is discharged through the discharge loop, and Vc is adjusted between Vmin and Vmax, so that the peak value of the impact current can be changed. In the figure'
"while the discharge current path is illustrated, the composition of the closed discharge circuit is also shown (the same below).
In the high-speed rush current generator principle circuit with adjustable current peak value, shown in fig. 6, using controlled firing of the discharge switch, a preferred but not exclusive charging and firing circuit configuration is given. The signal for charging the energy storage capacitor C and triggering the discharge switch K to be conducted comes from a pulse signal output by a pulse transformer MB working in a flyback mode; the output end of the plus of the pulse transformer MB is connected with the input end of the rectifier diode D, and the output end of the minus is connected with the system ground COM; the charging and triggering functions are switched by a charging switch Kcd and a triggering switch Kcf controlled by a charging-triggering function switching module; the output end of the rectifier diode D is connected with the first normally-open contact cd1 of the charging switch Kcd and the first normally-open contact cf1 of the trigger switch Kcf; the first end of the energy storage capacitor C connected with the second normally-open contact cd2 of the charging switch Kcd is connected to the second electrode B of the discharging switch K through a discharging loop conductor; the second terminal of the energy storage capacitor C, which is connected via the discharge circuit conductor to the first electrode a of the controlled trigger gas discharge switch K, is simultaneously connected to the system ground COM.
During charging, the system firstly switches off the trigger switch Kcf through the charging-trigger function switching module and switches on the charging switch Kcd, then sends continuous pulse signals to the input end of the pulse transformer MB in a PWM mode through the charging voltage monitoring and control module, and the pulse signals are converted by the pulse transformer MB and then charge the energy storage capacitor C through the rectifier diode D and the charging switch Kcd at the output end; in the charging process, the system monitors the change of the voltage Vc of the energy storage capacitor through the charging voltage monitoring and control module and the divider resistors R1 and R2, when the Vc is charged to a set value, the charging voltage monitoring and control module stops pulse transmission, and the system shifts to a discharging stage;
during discharging, the system firstly cuts off the charging switch Kcd through the charging-triggering function switching module and turns on the triggering switch Kcf, then sends a pulse signal with the width corresponding to the expected output level to the input end of the pulse transformer through the charging voltage monitoring and controlling module (after the circuit parameters are determined, the peak value of the output pulse signal is related to the width of the input pulse signal), the triggering signal converted by the pulse transformer MB is added to the triggering electrode G of the discharging switch K through the rectifier diode D and the triggering switch Kcf to turn on the discharging switch K, and the energy stored in the energy storage capacitor C is discharged through the discharging loop.
Besides the requirement of voltage resistance, the switch speed and the switch current of the charging switch and the discharging switch are not required, and all switches which have the voltage resistance meeting the requirement and can be switched on and off by program control can be used as the charging switch and the trigger switch.
In many applications, it is desirable that the same device provide high-speed inrush current of many different frequencies (or rising edges) and with adjustable current peaks. The multi-channel impulse current generator formed by the principle circuit shown in fig. 7 can provide N kinds of impulse currents with different rising edges and adjustable peak current on the same equipment.
Description of the drawings:
1. the subscript N (N =1, 2, … …, N) denotes the number N of like elements, and m (1. ltoreq. m.ltoreq.N) denotes the mth element of the number N of like elements, for example: cn represents N total energy storage capacitors, Cm represents the mth energy storage capacitor, Kn represents N total discharge switches, Km represents the mth discharge switch … …;
2. "connecting … … in correspondence with the reference numerals" means that the corresponding electrodes of different elements having the same reference numeral n are connected;
cd1 and cd2 represent the first and second normally open contacts, respectively, of the charge switch Kcd; xtn-1 and xtn-2 respectively represent the first and second normally open contacts of the strobe trigger switch Kxtn in a manner corresponding to the serial numbers;
4. in the multi-channel rush current generator, only one of N discharge switches Kn is triggered to be turned on at a time of discharge, and N trigger switches that trigger the N discharge switches Kn to be turned on in a manner corresponding to the serial number are defined as "gate trigger switches" denoted by Kxtn (N =1, 2, … …, N).
Basic structure and principle: n energy storage capacitors Cn are respectively connected with N wave modulation inductors Ln and N gas discharge switches Kn in series in a mode of corresponding serial numbers to form N discharge branches; connecting N discharging branches in parallel and then connecting conductors and electrodes which are shared by the branches and used for bearing discharging current of the branches into a closed loop to form an N-channel impact current generator; the charging pulse signal output by the pulse transformer MB charges the energy storage capacitor Cn through the rectifier diode D and the charging switch Kcd; a trigger pulse signal output by the pulse transformer MB triggers a discharge switch Kn through a rectifier diode D and n gating trigger switches Kxtn in a mode of corresponding sequence numbers; the charging switch and the gating trigger switch are controlled by the charging-triggering function switching module, when the energy storage capacitor Cm of the mth channel needs to be discharged, the charging-triggering function switching module controls the conduction of the mth gating trigger switch Kxtm, so that a triggering signal is loaded to a triggering electrode G of the mth discharging switch Km, and the energy storage capacitor Cm is discharged after the conduction of Km to obtain the impulse current of the required rising edge; therefore, the N-channel surge current generator can provide surge currents with N different rising edges and adjustable peak currents.
In the single-channel discharge circuit, the required rising edge of the impulse current can be obtained by setting the shapes, lengths and sectional areas of the conductors and/or electrodes of the discharge circuit and matching the circuit equivalent resistance R and the equivalent inductance L with the nominal value of the energy storage capacitor, and at this time, it is not necessary to additionally add a wave-modulating inductance in the discharge circuit (as in embodiments 1 and 2). In the multi-channel impulse current generator, the fixed loop equivalent inductance L and the equivalent resistance R cannot be matched with the energy storage capacitor with the nominal capacity in each channel to meet the rising edge of the impulse current meeting the design requirement. In fig. 8, when the energy storage capacitor Cm with proper nominal capacity is not selected in the mth branch to make the rising edge of the surge current meet the design requirement, the rising edge of the surge current of the branch meets the design requirement by adding the wave-regulating inductor Lm in the branch; if a capacitor Cm with a suitable nominal capacity is directly matched to the loop equivalent resistance R and the equivalent inductance L to a satisfactory rising edge, the inductance Lm can be cancelled, or Lm =0.
The connection mode and the working principle of the circuit are as follows: the output end of the plus of the pulse transformer MB is connected with the input end of the rectifier diode D, and the output end of the minus of the pulse transformer MB is connected with the system ground COM; the output end of the rectifier diode D is connected with the first normally open contact cd1 of the charging switch Kcd and the first normally open contacts xtn-1 of all the gating trigger switches Kxtn; the second normally open contact cd2 of the charging switch Kcd is connected with the input end of the isolation diode Dn; the output ends of the isolation diodes Dn are respectively connected with the second end of the energy storage capacitor Cn and the first end of the corresponding wave-modulating inductor Ln in a mode of corresponding serial numbers; the second ends of the wave-regulating inductors Ln are respectively connected with the second electrodes B of the discharge switches Kn in a mode of corresponding serial numbers; since L and R are symbols, rather than physical elements, used to represent the discharge circuit electrodes and the equivalent inductance and equivalent resistance of the conductors themselves, the first electrodes a of all the discharge switches Kn are actually connected to the first ends of all the energy storage capacitors Cn through the discharge circuit conductors and/or electrodes, and the first ends of the energy storage capacitors Cn are also connected to the system ground COM; the trigger electrodes G of the discharge switches Kn are connected to the second normally open contacts xtn-2 of the strobe trigger switches Kxtn in a manner corresponding to the serial numbers.
