- Each of the secondary windings 412a1 to 412d1 has a different potential. That is, when the high voltage transformer 41 outputs a voltage of 4V, each of the secondary windings 412a1 to 412d1 has a potential difference of V, 2V, 3V, and 4V with respect to the iron core 413 that is the ground potential.
- the secondary windings 412a1 to 412d1 are arranged according to the potential difference between the iron core 413 and the secondary windings 412a1 to 412d1.
- each secondary winding is set such that the distance between the iron core 413 and the other secondary windings 412b1 to 412d1 is 2d, 3d, and 4d, respectively.
- the lines are arranged concentrically.
- the equipotential lines around the secondary winding are not complicated, and each secondary winding can be compactly arranged in the magnetic flux direction. It is possible to provide a high voltage generator having a high voltage transformer that is miniaturized while maintaining insulation between the secondary winding and the iron core.
- a voltage doubler rectifier circuit was used for the high voltage rectifier circuit, but a rectifier circuit comprising a smoothing capacitor in a bridge type rectifier circuit combining four diodes, or a boost rectifier circuit such as a Cockcroft-Walton circuit, etc. It is obvious that the same effect can be obtained even when it is configured in a multistage series.

Abstract
Description
本発明の要部である高電圧変圧器41とその周辺の詳細構成について説明する。
図5を用いて第2の実施形態について説明する。第1の実施形態と異なる点は、分割された各二次巻線の一方の端子と分割された各鉄心とが同電位となるように構成されている点である。以下、第一の実施形態と異なる箇所を中心に説明する。
図6を用いて第3の実施形態について説明する。第1または第2の実施形態と異なる点は、二次巻線412a1~412d1及び分割された鉄心413a1~413d1の配置である。すなわち、電位差の大きい鉄心を隣接させないように各鉄心を配置し、鉄心間の最大電位差を低減させる。
以下、第2の実施形態と異なる箇所を中心に説明する。
図7及び図8を用いて第4の実施形態について説明する。第2の実施形態と異なる点は、一次巻線411が分割されるとともに、分割された二次巻線412a1~412d1のそれぞれが更に分割されている点である。以下、第2の実施形態と異なる箇所を中心に説明する。
図9を用いて第4の実施形態について説明する。本実施形態は、第4の実施形態における二次巻線412a1~412d1、412a2~412d2及び分割された鉄心413a1~413d1、413a2~413d2を第3の実施形態と同じように配置したものである。以下、第4の実施形態と異なる箇所を中心に説明する。
図10を用いて第6の実施形態について説明する。第1乃至5の実施形態と異なる点は、二次巻線の一方の端子を分割された鉄心に接続しない点と、二次巻線が巻き付けられるボビンが絶縁物ではなく導電性の物質である点である。
図11を用いて第7の実施形態について説明する。第1乃至5の実施形態と異なる点は、分割された鉄心413a1~413d1、413a2~413d2の磁束方向と直交する断面の一方だけではなく両断面に電極415a1が備えられる点である。
図12を用いて第8の実施形態について説明する。第6の実施形態と異なる点は、ボビン同士が連結している点である。
図13を用いて第9の実施形態について説明する。第6の実施形態と異なる点は、各鉄心間に配置される誘電体414の大きさが、磁束と直交する方向において鉄心413よりも大きい点である。
図14及び15を用いて第10の実施形態について説明する。本実施形態では、二次巻線は磁束方向において分割されているものの、鉄心は分割されていない。また、分割された二次巻線は鉄心に対してそれぞれ異なる電位差を有するため、その電位差に応じて鉄心から各二次巻線までの距離が設定される。
図16を用いて第11の実施形態について説明する。本実施形態では、分割された二次巻線が同心円状に配置される。分割された二次巻線は鉄心に対してそれぞれ異なる電位差を有するため、その電位差に応じて鉄心から各二次巻線までの距離が設定される。
