Description

  The present invention relates to a cooling method for a closed DC high voltage generator, and particularly an oil-immersed sealed type in which a DC high voltage of 10 to 200 kV is drawn from a DC high voltage generator inside a metal container through a high voltage output bushing. The present invention relates to a cooling method for efficiently dissipating internal heat generation of a direct-current high-pressure generator to the outside of a metal container.

A general circuit diagram of the DC high voltage generator is shown in FIG.
A commercial AC power source is converted into DC power by the converter 1, then converted to a high frequency of 10 to 100 kHz by the inverter 2, boosted to a predetermined voltage by the high frequency transformer 3, and supplied to the DC high voltage generator 4.
The high frequency power supplied to the DC high voltage generator 4 is boosted and rectified by various methods and converted to DC high voltage. The circuit of FIG. 6 is an example of a voltage doubler rectifier circuit known as a Cockcroft-Walton circuit.
Cockcroft-Walton circuit, a capacitor _{5 1,} 5 2, _..., a capacitor group 5a consisting of _{5 25,} capacitor _{5 26,} 5 27, _..., and capacitor group 5b consisting of _{5 50,} capacitor _{5 51, 5 52,} ... 5 _75, and a group of diodes 6a and 6b alternately bridging between the capacitors.
In the circuit of FIG. 6, when high frequency power is supplied from the low-voltage side input terminals T ₁ -E and T ₂ -E, a DC high voltage 50 times the peak value can be generated.
The output voltage includes a ripple component according to the output current, and a smoothing capacitor is used as a capacitor to reduce the output current. However, a discharge resistor 9 is provided to speed up the response when the voltage drops.
Further, the series resistors 7a, 7b, 8 and the voltage detection resistor group 10 of the output voltage are accommodated in the same metal container 26 for current suppression when the load side is short-circuited.
Furthermore, the low pressure side of the voltage detecting resistor group 10 of the output voltage via the low-voltage side terminal T _3, is grounded through a voltage sensing resistor 19 installed in the outer metal casing 26. The output voltage divided by the voltage detection resistor group 10 and the voltage detection resistor 19 is compared with the set voltage 17 and is supplied to the inverter 2 via the error amplifier 18 so that the difference between the two input voltages becomes zero. Feedback control is performed to stabilize the output voltage of the DC high voltage generator 4.

FIG. 7 is an internal structure diagram of a conventional example corresponding to the DC high voltage generator 4 shown in FIG.
In a metal container 26, which is a metal sealed container, a discharge resistor 9 (not shown) and series resistors 7, 8 together with a voltage doubler rectifier circuit composed of capacitor groups 5a, 5b, 5c and diode groups 6a, 6b. The voltage detection resistor group 10 (not shown) is accommodated.
In order to ensure insulation between the metal container 26 and the electric elements of the capacitor, diode, and resistor, the distance between the metal container 26 and the electric element is increased, and the metal container 26 is filled with insulating oil 25.
The top plate 20 of the metal container is provided with a high voltage output bushing 23 together with low voltage side input terminals T ₁ , E, T ₂ as a DC high voltage generator and a low voltage side terminal T ₃ of the voltage detection resistor group 10. The high-pressure output bushing is installed by hermetically joining the sealing fitting (1) 21 forming the high-pressure output bushing by welding, brazing or the like through the through hole of the top plate 20 of the metal container. However, since it is necessary to secure a flow path for cooling by convection of the insulating oil, the distance between the metal container 26 and the electric element is long, and an increase in size of the apparatus is inevitable.

The heat generation of the DC high voltage generator 4 is mainly due to the loss of resistors and diodes housed in the metal container 26. Most of the cooling of these heating elements depends on the convection of the insulating oil 25. The oil flow circulates in the metal container 26, transfers heat to the entire surface of the metal container 26, and dissipates heat by airflow and radiation on the atmosphere side. However, as the output current increases, the amount of heat generated inside increases, and the temperature in the vicinity of the top plate 20 of the metal container located above becomes particularly high.
Moreover, as shown in Patent Document 1, as a means for radiating internal heat generation to the outside of a metal container, a device in which a radiating fin is attached to a sealing metal fitting constituting a high voltage output bushing is known.
JP 11-41932 A

The heating elements of the DC high voltage generator are resistors and diodes, and the heat is transferred to the entire surface of the metal container by the convection of the insulating oil to dissipate the heat. In order to reduce the size of the apparatus, it is necessary to shorten the distance between the metal container 26 and the DC high voltage generator 4, but if there is an insulation barrier (insulating paper) for shortening the distance, the side surface of the metal container Heat transfer is not performed effectively, and even if a cooling fin is provided on the side plate, a sufficient heat dissipation effect cannot be obtained, and only the top plate 20 of the metal container abnormally rises in temperature, thereby hindering the internal cooling effect. There was a problem.
In addition, in the case where the heat sink is attached to the sealing metal that constitutes the above high voltage output bushing for heat dissipation of the metal container, the heat sink is useful for the DC high voltage generator with relatively small heat loss. In the case of a DC high-voltage generator that generates a large amount of heat, it is necessary to increase the size of the heat dissipating fins, resulting in a problem that the apparatus becomes larger.

  Due to the above-described problems, there has been a demand for a compact, oil-sealed, high-pressure DC high-pressure generator that has a good heat dissipation effect.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, and in a DC high-voltage generator in which a plurality of circuit boards are housed in a metal container filled with insulating oil,
A DC high-voltage generator characterized in that the circuit board is mounted vertically on a mounting plate provided with a through hole at a distance, and a heat radiation absorbing plate and a cooling pipe are provided at the upper part inside the metal container. is there.
Furthermore, the DC high-voltage generator is characterized in that insulating paper is provided on the inner side surface and the lower surface of the metal container.

The present invention attaches a circuit board of a DC high voltage generator composed of electric elements such as a capacitor, a diode, and a resistor vertically to a mounting plate provided with a through hole, and cools the upper surface inside the metal container. By disposing the heat dissipation absorption plate with the pipe, the insulating oil rising from the through hole rises while cooling the electric elements on the circuit board, and is cooled by the cooling pipe through which the coolant passes. Since the insulating oil can be cooled, the electric element that generates heat can be efficiently cooled, and the heat generation of the DC high-voltage generator can be suppressed.
Further, the DC high voltage generator can be miniaturized by disposing insulating paper on the inner side surface and lower surface of the metal container.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
1 is an external perspective view of a DC high-voltage generator according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an internal structural view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a heat-absorbing absorption plate and a cooling pipe portion at the top of FIG. FIG. 5A is an external perspective view of the upper part of FIG. 2, and FIG. 5B is a schematic perspective view showing the arrangement of diodes and capacitors in the central part of FIG. .
In FIG. 2, a heat radiation absorbing plate 12 made of rectangular copper, aluminum, or the like is installed below the top plate 20 of the metal container 26. An S-shaped metal cooling pipe 13 shown in FIGS. 3 and 5A is brazed to the heat radiation absorbing plate 12. The tip of the cooling pipe penetrates the top plate 20 and is brazed to the top plate 20 to keep it airtight.
In FIG. 4, series resistors 7 a and 7 b, which are heating elements, are supported and assembled at lower positions of the metal container 26 by mounting plates 27 to 30. The voltage detection resistor group 10 is also assembled.
In FIG. 5B, electric elements of the capacitor groups 5a, 5b, and 5c and the diode groups 6a and 6b that are heating elements are attached to the circuit board 34 in the metal container 26, and each circuit board 34 is used for cooling between them. The insulating oil 25 is attached to the mounting plate 32 vertically with a gap therebetween so that the insulating oil 25 flows. The mounting plate 32 is provided with a through hole Z and a notch Z ′ so that the insulating oil flows.
The circuit board 34 is a press board obtained by forming an electric insulating paper used for a power transformer into a thin plate shape, and the mounting plates 27 to 33 are formed by impregnating a glass fiber or a carbon fiber with a resin to form a thin plate shape. This is a fiber reinforced plastic plate made of FRP.
Each electric element is arranged on the circuit board 34 so that insulating oil flows. In the present embodiment, the components are arranged in the horizontal direction for ease of wiring between the electric elements, but the components may be attached in the vertical direction in consideration of the circulation of the insulating oil.
Since the heat generation of the DC high voltage generator 4 is due to the loss of the resistors and diodes in the metal container 26, the insulating oil flow circulates between the through hole Z, the notch Z ′ and the circuit board 34 in FIG. It hits the heat dissipation absorbing plate 12. An S-shaped cooling pipe 13 is brazed to the heat radiation absorbing plate 12, and cooling water is passed through the cooling pipe from the outside to perform heat exchange, thereby effectively lowering the elevated temperature in the metal container.

  Since the cooling of the heating element of the metal container 26 depends on the natural convection of the insulating oil 25, in order to improve the natural convection, the component arrangement of each electric element and the arrangement interval of the circuit board 34 are secured, and the mounting plate is penetrated. A hole Z and a notch Z ′ are provided so that upper and lower convection easily occurs.

  In order to reduce the size of the DC high voltage generator, it is necessary to shorten the distance between the metal container 26 and each electric element. The side surface of the DC high voltage generator 4 composed of electric elements such as a capacitor, a diode, and a resistor is wound with the insulating paper 24, and the lower portion of the insulating paper 24 is bent to the lower surface of the DC high voltage generator 4 or the insulating paper 24 is appropriately used. Is cut into a rectangular shape of a certain size, and a necessary number of sheets are stacked and placed on the lower surface of the DC high voltage generator 4, and the periphery of the stacked insulating paper 24 is bent to the side surface of the DC high voltage generator 4. The side wall and the lower surface are surrounded to form an insulating wall and inserted into the metal container 26. The metal container 26 and the top plate 20 are hermetically welded, dried in vacuum, and then impregnated with insulating oil and sealed.

According to the above embodiment, the direct current high voltage generator of the present invention is provided with the heat radiation absorbing plate and the cooling pipe on the lower surface of the top plate in the metal container, so that the heat transfer effect is improved and heat can be efficiently radiated. As a result, it was possible to reduce the temperature rise of the top plate of the metal container of the DC high voltage generator and to effectively reduce the internal temperature.
In addition, the insulation between the metal container and the high-voltage electrical element is performed by surrounding the electrical element with insulating paper on the side and bottom surfaces, drying it in vacuum, and impregnating it with oil. The metal container can be reduced in size.
