Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromagnetic shock wave source as is known from DE-A-35 05 894.
  • Electromagnetic shock wave generation is used, among other things, in extracorporeal stone crushing (DE 33 28 066 A) and is also suitable for other therapeutic methods in which shock waves are used.
  • shock tube In the magazine "Akustician Beihefte", 1962, Issue 1, pages 158 to 202, the structure of a so-called shock tube is described.
  • a copper membrane is located in front of a flat coil, separated by an insulating film.
  • a tube filled with water connects to this copper membrane.
  • a voltage in the range of 2 - 20 kV to the flat coil, a magnetic field is induced in the copper membrane, which causes repulsive forces that push the membrane away from the coil.
  • Such a shock tube is used, for example, for chemical substance testing.
  • EP 212 352 A1 discloses an ultrasound generator which contains a piezoelectric transducer which is constructed from a plurality of active layers and contains two lead plates for electrical contacting and for acoustic coupling.
  • a lithotripter with a generic electromagnetic shock wave source is known from EP 278 304 A1.
  • the shock wave source contains a base body, a wire coil, an insulation film and a copper membrane. This latter document can only be used to assess novelty, in accordance with Article 54 (3) EPC.
  • DE-A-35 05 894 describes a shock tube which comprises a coil. There is an insulating film on both sides of the coil. A membrane made of electrically conductive material connects to the insulating film.
  • the object of the invention is to improve such a shock wave source in such a way that efficiency and service life are increased.
  • the preferred metals used are stainless steel for the high-strength membrane and copper or silver for the highly conductive membranes.
  • Preferred dimensions are: Noble jet membrane: 0.1 - 0.2 mm Copper membrane: 0.05 - 0.2 mm Insulation film: 0.025 - 0.125 mm
  • any number of combinations are possible in the number and thickness of the insulating foils or metal membranes. However, a total thickness of up to 1 mm should not be exceeded.
  • the shock wave source according to the invention here consists of a basic body 1, a wire coil 2, an insulation film 3, a copper membrane 4, a further insulation film 5, a second copper membrane 6, a further insulation film 7 and a stainless steel membrane 8, which is grounded. Designs with more than two highly conductive metal foils 4, 6 are possible, but not shown.
  • the individual layers are connected to one another in a conventional manner, for example by gluing.
  • the figure shows the shock wave source on a greatly enlarged scale. A total thickness of up to 1.0 mm is realistic.
  • the potential curve U is shown during the application of a high voltage.
  • the coil 2 is at the high potential U0.
  • the stainless steel membrane 8 is at earth potential.
  • the copper membranes 4 and 6 are each at potentials that lie between the value U0 and 0. Within the insulation foils 3, 5 and 7, the potential U falls from the higher value to a lower one.
  • FIG. 2 shows the current density distribution in a 0.2 mm thick copper membrane and the current density distribution in two 0.1 mm thick copper membranes, which are separated by an insulation film. Due to the skin effect, the current density at high frequencies is not evenly distributed over the conductor cross-section. The maximum depth of penetration at the frequency used is approx. 0.2 mm.
  • the distribution of the current density is shown schematically in FIG. 2. As can be seen from this, the integral over the current density is larger when using two membranes. This increases the repulsive forces and the amplitude of the pressure pulse generated. In the case of well-conductive membranes whose thicknesses are greater than 0.4 mm, the current density is zero in the inner region. This is not the case with a layered membrane. The distribution of the current density is similar in each membrane.
