Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Koronaelektrode, bestehend aus einem zumindest teilweise elektrisch leitfähigen Kern, der eine dielektrische Beschichtung aufweist.The present invention relates to a corona electrode consisting of an at least partially electrically conductive core which has a dielectric coating.

Eine Koronaelektrode der gattungsgemäßen Art ist aus der US-A-42 27 234 bekannt.A corona electrode of the generic type is known from US-A-42 27 234.

In dem genannten Dokument wird als elektrisch leitfähiges Kernmaterial beispielsweise Kupfer genannt. Darüber hinaus werden noch andere geeignete Metalle erwähnt.In the document mentioned, copper is mentioned as the electrically conductive core material, for example. Other suitable metals are also mentioned.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine von einem mit Wechselspannung arbeitenden hochfrequenten Hochspannungsgenerator betreibbare Koronaelektrode zu schaffen, die sich durch eine geringe Verschleißanfälligkeit und einen hohen Wirkungsgrad auszeichnet. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Kern aus formbarem Graphit besteht und mit einem die dielektrische Beschichtung bildenden, überwiegend nichtoxydischen Material, vorzugsweise nichtoxydischer Keramik mit einer Mindestdichte von 95 % zur theoretischen Dichte überzogen ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a corona electrode which can be operated by a high-frequency generator operating with alternating voltage and which is characterized by low susceptibility to wear and high efficiency. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the core consists of malleable graphite and is coated with a predominantly non-oxidic material, preferably non-oxidic ceramic, which forms the dielectric coating and has a minimum density of 95% of the theoretical density.

Eine derartige Koronaelektrode zeichnet sich sowohl dadurch aus, daß selbst bei einer sehr dünnen Beschichtung des Kernes und bei Punkt-Dauerbelastung mit einer hochfrequenten Hochspannung über mehrere Stunden eine durchschlagsichere Isolation möglich ist wie auch dadurch, daß die sogenannte Korona-Zündspannung sehr gering ist, womit ein sehr guter Wirkungsgrad erzielt ist.Such a corona electrode is characterized by the fact that even with a very thin coating of the core and with permanent point stress with a high-frequency high voltage for several hours, a puncture-proof insulation is also possible because the so-called corona ignition voltage is very low, with which a very good efficiency is achieved.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklung des Erfindungsgegenstandes besteht darin, daß der aus Graphit bestehende Kern ein Preßteil ist.An advantageous further development of the subject matter of the invention is that the graphite core is a pressed part.

Anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen wird der Erfindungsgedanke noch einmal ausführlich erläutert.The concept of the invention is once again explained in detail with the aid of the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 ein Hochspannungsgenerator bezeichnet, der bei Betrieb über seine Anschlüsse 2 und 3 eine hochfrequente Hochspannung an eine in den Fig. 2 bis 5 dargestellte Koronaelektrode abgeben kann.In Fig. 1, the reference numeral 1 designates a high-voltage generator which, during operation, can output a high-frequency high voltage to a corona electrode shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 via its connections 2 and 3.

Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Koronaelektrode ist insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 4 versehen.The corona electrode shown in FIG. 2 is provided overall with the reference number 4.

Diese Koronaelektrode 4 besteht aus einem Kern 5 sowie einem Dielektrikum 6 in Form einer Beschichtung des Kernes 5.This corona electrode 4 consists of a core 5 and a dielectric 6 in the form of a coating of the core 5.

Der Kern 5 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem formbaren Kernmaterial, welches gut wärmeleitfähig ist und den nahezu gleichen Temperaturausdehnungskoeffizienten wie das Material der Beschichtung aufweist. Vorzugsweise besteht der Kern 5 aus Graphit.The core 5 preferably consists of a moldable core material which is highly thermally conductive and has almost the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the material of the coating. The core 5 preferably consists of graphite.

Das Dielektrikum 6 besteht überwiegend aus nichtoxydischem Material, bevorzugt aus einem keramischen Material wie Bornitrid, Siliziumnitrid oder Aluminiumnitrid, ebenso ist ein Gemisch der vorgenannten Materialien denkbar. Es ist allerdings auch ein Gemisch aus keramischen Materialien aus nichtoxydischen und oxydischen Anteilen denkbar.The dielectric 6 consists predominantly of non-oxide material, preferably of a ceramic material such as boron nitride, silicon nitride or aluminum nitride, and a mixture of the aforementioned materials is also conceivable. However, a mixture of ceramic materials made of non-oxidic and oxidic components is also conceivable.

Die Beschichtung des Kernes 5 erfolgt vorzugsweise mit einer Mindestdichte von 95 % der theoretischen Dichte.The core 5 is preferably coated with a minimum density of 95% of the theoretical density.

Der Kern 5 kann sowohl im PVD-Verfahren (Physical-Vapour-Deposition) wie auch im CVD-Verfahren (Chemical-Vapour-Deposition) beschichtet werden.The core 5 can be coated both in the PVD process (physical vapor deposition) and in the CVD process (chemical vapor deposition).

Ebenso ist es denkbar, die Beschichtung des Kernes 5 im Sinterverfahren oder durch chemisches Reaktionssintern durchzuführen.It is also conceivable to carry out the coating of the core 5 in the sintering process or by chemical reaction sintering.

Es kommt auch eine Beschichtung des Kernes 5 nach dem Plasmar-Spritzverfahren in Frage.Coating of the core 5 by the plasma spraying method is also possible.

Sofern für die Beschichtung ausschließlich Bornitrid verwendet wird, ist es vorteilhaft, Bornitrid in hexagonaler, anisotropischer Form zu verwenden.If only boron nitride is used for the coating, it is advantageous to use boron nitride in hexagonal, anisotropic form.

Die Verwendung eines Kernmaterials, welches einerseits gut wärmeleitfähig ist und andererseits nahezu zu dem gleichen Temperaturausdehnungskoeffizient wie das für die Beschichtung verwendete Material besitzt, bietet den Vorteil, daß keine Dilaminationen in den Materialgrenzschichten erfolgen. Somit wird eine elektrisch durchschlagsichere Koronaelektrode geschaffen.The use of a core material, which on the one hand has good thermal conductivity and on the other hand has almost the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the material used for the coating, offers the advantage that no dilutions occur in the material boundary layers. This creates an electrically puncture-proof corona electrode.

Die Verwendung von Mischkeramik zur Beschichtung ermöglicht die Herstellung preiswerter Koronaelektroden in hoher Qualität.The use of mixed ceramics for coating enables the manufacture of inexpensive, high-quality corona electrodes.

Das Dielektrikum 6 der Koronaelektrode 4 besteht insgesamt aus einer relativ dünnen Schichte aus den oben erwähnten Materialien.The dielectric 6 of the corona electrode 4 consists overall of a relatively thin layer made of the materials mentioned above.

Bei anliegender Hochspannung an den Anschlüssen 7 der Koronaelektrode 4 sowie 8 einer als Walze ausgebildeten Gegenelektrode 9 entsteht zwischen der Koronaelektrode 4 und der Gegenelektrode 9 eine elektrische Koronaentladung 10.When high voltage is present at the connections 7 of the corona electrode 4 and 8 of a counter electrode 9 designed as a roller, an electrical corona discharge 10 is produced between the corona electrode 4 and the counter electrode 9.

Fig. 2 zeigt deutlich, daß die Koronaelektrode 4 an der Stelle für die elektrische Kontaktkabel nicht mit einem Dielektrikum 6 versehen ist, so daß die Möglichkeit besteht, mehrere, derart ausgestalteter Koronaelektroden 4 kurzschlußsicher zusammenfügen zu können.Fig. 2 clearly shows that the corona electrode 4 on the Point for the electrical contact cable is not provided with a dielectric 6, so that there is the possibility of being able to join a plurality of corona electrodes 4 designed in this way in a short-circuit-proof manner.

Fig. 3 macht deutlich, daß durch eine dünne Beschichtung des Elektrodenkernes 5 mit dem schon erwähnten Dielektrikum 6 die Möglichkeit besteht, die Entladungsstege 11 äußerst scharfkantig und somit wirkungsgraderhöhend ausbilden zu können. Die Koronaentladung 10 erfolgt hier gegen eine an Masse liegende Metallplatte 12.Fig. 3 makes it clear that a thin coating of the electrode core 5 with the dielectric 6 already mentioned makes it possible to design the discharge webs 11 extremely sharp-edged and thus increasing efficiency. The corona discharge 10 takes place here against a metal plate 12 which is connected to ground.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 ist der Kern 5 der Koronaelektrode 4 mit einer in Richtung seiner Längsachse verlaufenden Kühlbohrung 13 versehen, deren Leibung wiederum mit einem Dielektrikum 6 beschichtet ist.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, the core 5 of the corona electrode 4 is provided with a cooling bore 13 running in the direction of its longitudinal axis, the reveal of which is in turn coated with a dielectric 6.

Die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Koronaelektrode 4 weist einen Hohlkern 5 auf, der in seinem Inneren vollständig und äußerlich teilweis mit einem Dielektrikum 6 beschichtet ist.The corona electrode 4 shown in FIG. 4 has a hollow core 5 which is completely and externally partially coated with a dielectric 6 in its interior.

Eine Entlüftung dieser Koronaelektrode 4 ist in der gleichen Richtung möglich, in der sich die Koronaentladung 10 einstellt. Die Entlüftungsrichtung ist durch den Pfeil A in Fig. 4 gekennzeichnet.This corona electrode 4 can be vented in the same direction in which the corona discharge 10 occurs. The venting direction is indicated by arrow A in FIG. 4.

Eine nur teilweise Aufbringung des Dielektrikums 6 im äußeren Bereich der Koronaelektrode ermöglicht es, im nichtbeschichteten Bereich beispielsweise ein Gewinde 14 an der Koronaelektrode 4 anzubringen.Only a partial application of the dielectric 6 in the outer area of the corona electrode enables, for example, a thread in the non-coated area 14 to be attached to the corona electrode 4.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Koronaelektrode 4 dargestellt, bei der ein innenliegender Elektrodenspalt, um 90° abgewinkelt, mit einem wiederum dünne Dielektrikum 6 beschichtet ist. In diesem Elektrodenspalt kann z.B. ein Metalldraht 15 einer Koronaentladung 10 ausgesetzt werden.5 shows a corona electrode 4, in which an internal electrode gap, angled through 90 °, is coated with a thin dielectric 6. In this electrode gap e.g. a metal wire 15 is exposed to a corona discharge 10.
