Detailed Description
As described in the background art, if an abnormality occurs in the CT apparatus, it is difficult to effectively distinguish whether the abnormality is caused by the CT bulb or the high voltage generator.
In the embodiment of the invention, the actual resistance current curve of the cathode filament of the actual CT bulb is simulated through a filament equivalent circuit. Thus, failure of the actual CT bulb tube due to instability of the cathode filament at high temperature can be avoided. Based on the association relation between the actual filament current and the actual tube current, the equivalent tube current is obtained through the simulation of the tube current equivalent circuit. The tube current equivalent circuit does not generate high heat, so that the CT bulb tube can be effectively prevented from being ignited and the condition of high temperature and high heat is avoided. And, adopt filament equivalent circuit and tube current equivalent circuit, also need not to keep the high vacuum in the die of CT bulb. Therefore, compared with an actual CT bulb, the CT test bulb does not need to work in a high-temperature and high-vacuum environment, so that the failure condition of the CT test bulb is greatly reduced. The CT test bulb tube is applied to a scene of CT equipment test, and the CT test bulb tube can simulate the output data of a normal actual CT bulb tube, so that whether the abnormality of the CT equipment is caused by the abnormality of the actual CT bulb tube can be effectively distinguished.
In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
An embodiment of the invention provides a CT test bulb, and reference is made to FIG. 1.
As shown in fig. 1, the CT test bulb may include a filament equivalent circuit 1, a tube current equivalent circuit 2. The CT test bulb tube also comprises a cathode high-voltage insulating ceramic head 4, a cathode high-voltage cable 5, a pressure relief valve 6, an anode high-voltage cable 7, an anode high-voltage insulating ceramic head 8, a three-phase motor input line 9, a cooling oil path outlet 10, a temperature control switch 11, a cooling oil inlet 12 and the like.
In a specific implementation, the cathode high-voltage insulating ceramic head 4, the cathode high-voltage cable 5, the pressure release valve 6, the anode high-voltage cable 7, the anode high-voltage insulating ceramic head 8, the three-phase motor input line 9, the cooling oil path outlet 10, the temperature control switch 11, the cooling oil inlet 12 and the like can follow corresponding structures in an actual CT bulb, and the embodiment of the invention does not change the structures.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the actual CT bulb is a CT bulb actually used in a CT apparatus. The CT test bulb tube can simulate the working characteristic parameters of the actual CT bulb tube in normal working, and under the same working condition, the output data of the CT test bulb tube is the same or almost the same as the output data of the actual CT bulb tube.
That is, the CT test bulb provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be equivalent to an actual CT bulb. However, the CT test bulb in the embodiment of the invention is correspondingly modified relative to the actual CT bulb.
In practical application, the cathode filament in the practical CT bulb tube is made of tungsten metal, the filament diameter of the cathode filament is 0.2-0.3 millimeter (mm), and the length is 7-15 mm. The cathode filament is heated up rapidly when the working current is 4-7A, and emits hot electrons when the temperature is higher than 2500 ℃. By controlling the operating current input to the cathode filament, the temperature of the cathode filament can be made to be within a stable temperature range.
When the temperature of the cathode filament changes, the resistance of the cathode filament changes accordingly. Thus, at different filament currents, there is a corresponding resistance of the cathode filament.
As shown in fig. 2, a schematic diagram of the actual resistive current profile of the cathode filament is given. In fig. 2, the abscissa indicates the actual filament current of the cathode filament, and the ordinate indicates the resistance value of the cathode filament. The actual filament current is the filament current on the cathode filament when the actual CT tube works normally.
Based on fig. 2, it can be seen that as the current of the cathode filament increases, the temperature of the cathode filament increases, and the resistance of the cathode filament correspondingly increases.
In the embodiment of the invention, the equivalent voltage corresponding to the actual filament current can be simulated based on the actual resistance current curve of the cathode filament through the filament equivalent circuit.
In a specific implementation, when the CT test bulb is used, an actual filament current may be input to an input end of the filament equivalent circuit, and an equivalent voltage associated with the actual filament current may be output to an output end of the filament equivalent circuit. The quotient of the equivalent voltage and the actual filament current is the equivalent resistance of the cathode filament, so that the corresponding equivalent voltage can be determined based on the actual resistance current curve of the cathode filament and the actual filament current of the cathode filament.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a filament equivalent circuit in an embodiment of the present invention is provided.
In a specific implementation, the filament equivalent circuit may include a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a first operational amplifier OP1, and a first control unit, wherein:
The first end of the first resistor R1 inputs actual filament current, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is coupled with the first input end of the first operational amplifier OP1 and the input end of the first control unit;
The second input end of the first operational amplifier OP1 is coupled with the second resistor R2, and the output end of the first operational amplifier OP1 is coupled with the second end of the third resistor R3;
The output end of the first control unit is coupled with the first end of the third resistor R3, and the first control unit can control the output end of the first operational amplifier OP1 to output equivalent voltage based on the actual filament current;

The cathode of the first diode D1 is grounded.
In summary, the actual resistance current curve of the cathode filament of the actual CT bulb is simulated through the filament equivalent circuit. Since the CT test bulb is used for testing only and does not need to emit hot electrons, the equivalent circuit does not need to be in a high temperature state like the cathode filament. Thus, the CT test bulb can avoid failure caused by instability of the cathode filament at high temperature.
In practical application, a tube voltage exists between an anode and a cathode of an actual CT bulb tube, and the tube voltage can reach 150kV. Under the double-end high-voltage mode, the cathode of the CT bulb tube is connected with high voltage of-75 kV, and the anode of the CT bulb tube is connected with high voltage of 75kV, so that after hot electrons generated by a cathode filament are accelerated, tube current is bombarded on an anode target plate, and X rays are generated. The intensity of the X-rays is related to the tube current, and the correlation between the actual filament current and the actual tube current at different tube voltages is called the emission curve of the actual CT bulb.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of the mapping relationship between the actual filament current and the actual tube current, that is, a schematic diagram of the emission curve of the actual CT bulb is given. In fig. 4, the abscissa represents the actual filament current, and the ordinate represents the actual tube current. The mapping of actual filament current to actual tube current may be different at different tube voltages. At different tube voltages, as the actual filament current increases, the actual tube current correspondingly increases.
In an embodiment of the invention, a tube current equivalent circuit is provided. The input end of the tube current equivalent circuit can input actual filament current, the output end of the tube current equivalent circuit outputs equivalent tube current, and the association relation between the equivalent tube current and the actual filament current can be determined by the association relation between the actual tube current and the actual filament current.
Specifically, the correlation between the actual tube current and the actual filament current may be used as the correlation between the equivalent tube current and the actual filament current. Thus, the equivalent tube current corresponding to the actual filament current (equivalent tube current is equal to the actual tube current) can be obtained by the tube current equivalent circuit.
Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of a tube current equivalent circuit in an embodiment of the present invention is provided.
In a specific implementation, the tube current equivalent circuit comprises a fourth resistor R4, a second control unit, a second operational amplifier OP2, a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6, wherein:

The emitter of the second triode N2 is coupled with the output end of the second control unit, the base electrode of the second triode N2 is coupled with the first end of the sixth resistor R6, and the collector electrode of the second triode N2 is coupled with the output end of the second operational amplifier OP 2;

In a specific implementation, the tube current equivalent circuit may further include a first adjustable capacitor C1, and the first adjustable capacitor C1 may be coupled between the collector of the second triode N2 and the output terminal of the second operational amplifier OP 2.
In a specific implementation, the sixth resistor R6 is an adjustable resistor. That is, the resistance value of the sixth resistor R6 is adjustable.
In practical applications, the structure between the cathode and the anode of the actual CT bulb is relatively complex. When the cathode and the anode of the actual CT bulb are connected with high voltage, the sparking phenomenon is easy to occur. When the hot electrons generated by the cathode filament get accelerated between the cathode and the anode, they bombard the anode target disk, and huge heat is generated. High heat can affect the stability of an actual CT bulb, such as the anode bearing, the vacuum in the die, and the sparking phenomenon can occur more easily.
In addition, the actual CT bulb belongs to an electric vacuum device, and in order to avoid ignition under high voltage as much as possible and facilitate generation of actual tube current, namely, to avoid blocking of electrons generated by a cathode filament when the electrons are transported to an anode, the tube core needs to be kept under high vacuum. Once the vacuum is broken or reduced, a sparking phenomenon or risk of oxidative fusing of the cathode filament will easily occur.
In the CT test bulb provided by the embodiment of the invention, the equivalent tube current related to the actual filament current is generated through the tube current equivalent circuit, so that high heat is not generated, high voltage is not needed, and ignition is not easy to occur. Therefore, the tube core in the high vacuum state is not needed in the CT test bulb, the tube core in the high vacuum state can be replaced by ceramic with better insulativity, and the occurrence of the sparking phenomenon can be avoided more easily.
In practical application, when the practical CT bulb tube works, hot electrons bombarded on the anode target disc can generate huge heat, and in order to avoid local high temperature, the anode target disc needs to rotate at a high speed under the drive of a stator coil, and the rotating speed can reach 8400-10500 revolutions per minute. However, the bearings will experience higher drag forces due to the high gravitational acceleration at the rotational speed of the CT machine frame. Moreover, as the temperature inside the actual CT bulb increases, the driving force of the stator coil may also be affected, which may further result in the influence of the rotational speed of the anode target disk, resulting in failure of the actual CT bulb.
The failure of the actual CT bulb in the embodiment of the present invention means that the actual CT bulb cannot work normally, or that the output data of the actual CT bulb is abnormal data. The failure of the actual CT bulb tube can also be called the abnormality of the actual CT bulb tube, the failure of the actual CT bulb tube, etc.
