Definitions
- Piezoelectric transformer is a type of a
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved piezoelectric transformer which avoids in particular the emergence of voltage peaks at sharp edges in the output region.
- the piezoelectric transformer may be substantially rotationally symmetric. Due to the rotational symmetry, uncontrolled plasma discharges do not occur the outer surfaces extending in the longitudinal direction
- the first piezoelectric layer of the input region and the second piezoelectric layer of the input region may be polarized in mutually opposite directions, wherein both the polarization direction of the first piezoelectric layer and the polarization direction of the second piezoelectric layer is a radial direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In this way, when winding the layers a
- Input area can be constructed, which is excitable to vibrations in the radial direction.
- directions which are pointing either perpendicular to the cylinder axis or perpendicularly away from the cylinder axis are referred to as the radial direction.
- the main body may be a hollow cylindrical or a
- the exposed areas can be reinforced in each case to outer electrodes of the input area. Accordingly, the piezoelectric transformer at the exposed portions of the
- the first inner electrode may have a portion exposed on an outer surface of the input portion and reinforced in thickness.
- the second inner electrode may have an area that is on an outer surface of the
- the piezoelectric transformer may be a rose-type transformer.
- Another aspect of the present invention relates to a plasma generating apparatus having a piezoelectric transformer as described above.
- a process gas can be guided along the piezoelectric transformer and ionized by a high voltage generated at the output region of the transformer.
- the device is in particular for
- FIG. 1 shows a piezoelectric transformer
- FIG. 1 shows a piezoelectric transformer 1 in a perspective view.
- the piezoelectric transformer 1 is configured to apply an AC voltage to the input region 4 is to convert to a voltage applied to the output region 5. It can be at the entrance area 4 a
- the input area 4 is designed to convert an applied alternating voltage into a mechanical oscillation. The mechanical vibration can then be on the
- the output region 5 is configured to convert a mechanical vibration into an electrical voltage, which may be a high voltage.
- the input area 4 has a first piezoelectric
- the input region 4 has a second piezoelectric layer 8, on which a second piezoelectric layer 8
- Inner electrode 9 is arranged on. The two
- a region 11 of the second inner electrode 9 is also arranged on the outer surface of the input region 4.
- This area 11 of the second inner electrode 9 is also reinforced in its thickness and forms a second outer electrode, with the aid of which the second inner electrode 9 is electrically
- Contacting of the external electrodes can be done by clamping, soldering or another technique.
- piezoelectric layer 12 of the output region 5 generates an electrical voltage. This may in particular be a high voltage.
- an end face 13 of the piezoelectric layer 12 of the output region 5 generates an electrical voltage. This may in particular be a high voltage.
- the piezoelectric transformer 1 to a high voltage. If the piezoelectric transformer 1 is used in a device for generating a plasma, the plasma is ignited at this end face 13 of the output region 5, since here the greatest electrical voltage is applied against the environment. In particular, the exit region 5 has no sharp edges
- the reinforced areas here only cover an azimuthal extent, which lies in a range between 30 ° and 60 °.
- the piezoelectric transformer 1 having the hollow cylindrical shape shown in Figs. 1 and 2 becomes as follows
- Inner electrode 9 is disposed on the outer surface of the wound body. This arrangement can be achieved for example by different lengths of film.
- a thin carrier sheet may possibly be wound on the mandrel which may facilitate removal of the mandrel upon separation of the piezoelectric transformer 1 from the mandrel.
- Transformer 1 corresponds. Therefore, the second embodiment is particularly suitable for applications that place high demands on the space requirement of the transformer 1.
- the piezoelectric transformer 1 can be used to generate plasma by ionization of a process gas or
- Ozone generation are used, in which air is ionized. Reference sign list
