Description

X-ray tube
Technical field
The present invention relates to X-ray tube, particularly relate to the fixed anode type X-ray tube that anode is fixing.
Background technology
In the past, as the representative X-ray ray tube, fixed anode type X-ray tube was arranged.In fixed anode type X-ray tube, utilize the filament of negative electrode to generate electronics.Utilize high voltage electric field that this electronics is quickened towards plate target, this high-energy electron impinge anode target generates X ray.
Produce heat during this high-energy electron impinge anode target.For the heat that makes this generation distributes to the outside, in fixed anode type X-ray tube, adopt cooling structures such as insulating oil impregnated, forced fluid cold type, forced air cooling type.
In the X-ray tube of insulating oil impregnated, with negative electrode assembly and the vacuum seal of anode assembly in the shell of glass.This shell is installed in the inside of the sheath that is full of insulating oil.This insulating oil carries out electric insulation, absorbs the heat that is produced by the anode assembly simultaneously.Be insulated the outer wall of the heat of oil absorption, dispel the heat to extraneous air by sheath.
In addition, it is such that for example real fair 1-32720 communique is disclosed, and in forcing liquid-cooled X-ray tube, utilizes anode support cylindraceous, supports plate target.For the cooling anodes part, form the cooling path that cooling fluid is passed through in the inner space of this anode support.
In addition, for example special table 2001-504988 communique disclosed like that, in the X-ray tube of forced air cooling type, utilize to be arranged on a distolateral vacuum casting and to be arranged on another distolateral insulation crust, constitute shell.The other end of the anode support of the plate target of portion's support at one end prolongs laterally from the other end of insulation crust, and the other end of this anode support is installed the anode target and supplied with the lead-in wire that high voltage is used.Have again, with encapsulating material, be moulding material, surround the outside of insulation crust and the other end of anode support.In order to carry out the cooling of anode part, make force air pass through the outside of encapsulating material.
In the X-ray tube of in the past insulating oil impregnated, to compare with the X-ray tube that adopts other type of cooling, the size of sheath is big.Employing insulating oil impregnated will become the obstacle aspect the compact design X-ray tube.In addition, in the insulating oil impregnated, owing to use insulating oil, so the assembling of X-ray tube, repairing, comparatively difficulty such as discarded.
In addition, the cooling anodes of the liquid-cooled X-ray tube of the pressure in the past partly cooling fluid of usefulness will use insulating oil or pure water, as the liquid of insulating properties, needs to use the circulating cooling system of special-purpose heat exchanger, circulating pump and flexible pipe.Thereby cost increases, and reliability also reduces.Particularly when using pure water,, need to use the filter of special ion exchange resin for the conductivity of the pure water in preventing to use rises.The problem that needs to produce under the situation of filter is maintenance management trouble, and cost increase.
In addition, though the X-ray tube of forced air cooling type does not in the past have aforesaid insulating oil impregnated and forces the such problem of liquid-cooled X-ray tube,, dispel the heat, so heat dissipation characteristics is poor owing to conduct heat to the low encapsulating material of thermal conductivity from the anode support.So the problem of existence is that the heat load of plate target is fully reduced.Have again, supply with the high voltage supply unit configuration adjacent to each other of using lead-in wire to the radiating part of encapsulating material heat radiation with the installation high voltage from the anode support.Thereby the problem that exists is, the temperature of encapsulating material raises, and the insulation characterisitic of encapsulating material produces deterioration more in early days.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, the X-ray tube that a kind of heat dissipation characteristics is good, can guarantee insulation characterisitic for a long time is provided.
The X-ray tube of a form of the present invention is such formation, and it has: at one end side has the 1st shell of the output window that forms the Transmission X ray and at another distolateral cylindrical case with the 2nd shell of electric insulating quality; Be arranged on the plate target in aforementioned the 1st shell; Be arranged on negative electrode in aforementioned the 1st shell, that launch the electronics that shines to aforementioned plate target; Be arranged in the aforementioned shell, at one end side has the junction surface that engages with the inner surface of aforementioned the 2nd shell and at the support of another distolateral support aforesaid anode target; With aforementioned support by the heat insulation in fact configuration in gap, to the terminal of aforementioned support service voltage; And the connecting portion that aforementioned support is electrically connected with aforementioned terminal.

According to this example,, therefore can improve heat dissipation characteristics, and can guarantee long-term reliable insulation characterisitic because insulating material 42 can dispel the heat by radiator 44.Particularly, therefore can cool off X-ray tube effectively owing to directly utilize pressure cooling system 61 to come cooling heat dissipation body 44.In addition, owing to utilize screw to fix pressure cooling system 61, therefore install and remove easily and change.
In addition, the present invention intactly is defined in above-mentioned example, its implementation phase can in the scope that does not break away from its main points, change inscape and specialize.In addition, can form various inventions by the appropriate combination of a plurality of inscapes that above-mentioned example disclosed.In addition for example, also can consider to adopt the formation of deleting several inscapes from the whole inscapes shown in the example.Have again, also can the different described inscape of example of appropriate combination.
In addition, in the scope that does not break away from main points of the present invention, carry out various distortion, can implement too certainly.
Industrial practicality
The invention provides the X-ray tube that heat dissipation characteristics is good, can guarantee for a long time the insulation characteristic of insulating materials.
