Arrangement and method for active vibration damping within an X-ray radiator

摘要

In an arrangement and method for active vibration compensation of an x-ray radiator, a counter-vibration generation unit is arranged within the x-ray radiator to reduce a vibration arising during operation of the x-ray radiator. The counter-vibration generating unit is engaged in an active connection with the x-ray radiator and generates a counter-vibration that is phase-shifted by 180 degrees relative to the operational vibration. Operational vibrations generated by the x-ray radiator can be directly reduced at the point of origin by the application of active counter-vibrations in the immediate proximity of the vibration generator. Additional vibration transmission to other system parts (for example a C-arm) is thereby reduced or prevented.

1. An x-ray radiator comprising:
a radiator housing; a plurality of components within said radiator housing, said plurality of components being configured to operate to generate x-rays, and at least one of said components causing operational vibration during operation of said at least one component; and a counter-vibration generation unit in said radiator housing configured to at least reduce said operational vibration by an active connection with at least one of said radiator housing and at least one of said components and by generating a counter-vibration that is phase-shifted by 180° with respect to said operational vibration.
