Background technology
Long-life space travelling wave tube is widely used in the aspects such as radar, satellite communication, global location, the function of its uniqueness and superior performance, particularly in the case of high-power and high band, is that other devices are not caned substituted.
For long-life space travelling wave tube, in view of its structure, process characteristic and general work principle, after eliminating initial failure, device parameter performance tends towards stability, in addition vacuum device is to the environmental factor such as temperature, radiation insensitive, and the life-span just becomes the important indicator characterizing its reliability level.The factor affecting the electron tube life-span is a lot, and its failure mode there are differences because pipe kind is different from distribution.In complicated various factors, vacuum in emission of cathode, Electronic beam focusing, power output, noise level and pipe is had an impact by residual gas the most simultaneously, and precision component is by the damage that can not repair in making pipe, and this part can cause the premature breakdown of pipe.Therefore research meets the ultrahigh vacuum acquisition technology of high power, high efficiency, high-frequency, broadband space travelling wave tube, for promoting the development tool of the technology such as satellite communication to be of great significance.
Long-life space travelling wave tube generally uses the method for bakeout degassing to reduce gas efficiency." baking " in vacuum refers in a certain stage bled, and vacuum system is heated up, is allowed to the most again drop to the process of environment temperature.The main purpose of baking is that the gas making absorption desorbs from heated surface, and its desorption rate to be far longer than desorption rate at ambient temperature, to the gas desorbed, gets rid of from system with vavuum pump.The benefit of baking is: can reach relatively low pressure in the pumpdown time of regulation;Or for reaching the pressure of regulation, total pumpdown time used is shorter.In the entire system, declining of the gross pressure that the system that caused by toasting is final is usually the most small (the most slightly rising), but just from the point of view of the essence of baking, it is to make the adsorbed gas that combination can be relatively low be removed from the surface of research selectively so that being become by the position of degassing in vacuum atmosphere compares " the freshest ".
The many metals of research discovery are in a vacuum after the long-time heating of 1000 DEG C, and oxide-film is still left on surface.Such as must be 10-4The vacuum of Pa is heated to 1760 DEG C Mo and lasts for hours the gas of ability emptying Mo dissolving metal.Therefore the gas of metal parts dissolving and the oxide-film on surface in the long-life space travelling wave tube of baking (400-600 DEG C) degasification is used to be very difficult to except clean.Under the bombardment of electron beam, metal parts (especially collector in long-life space travelling wave tube, because it have received the electronics of more than 90%) substantial amounts of gas can be released, therefore long-life space travelling wave tube is in order to obtain and keep optimum performance, ultrahigh vacuum required for long-life and high reliability, have to pass through the most seasoned (500-1000 hour), nonetheless, due to the restriction for long-life space travelling wave tube seasoned titanium pump volume, their pumping speed typically small (the most a few liter/second), therefore the end vacuum after long-life space travelling wave tube is seasoned also is difficult to reach the highest level, vacuum is generally 5 × 10-6About Pa.

The basic conception of the present invention is, it is provided that the collector of a kind of space travelling wave tube, and wherein, the bottom of collector offers an aperture;Airtight covering one sheet metal on described aperture.
For coverage mode, can be various coverage mode commonly used in the prior art, such as laser fusion welding, welding etc., as long as airtight combination between sheet metal and aperture can be realized.Preferably coverage mode is welding or laser fusion welding, more preferably welding.After covering a sheet metal bottom collector, forming one " window " structure, this window can be opened after electron bombardment a period of time, and such travelling-wave tubes internal residual gas is by this window, it is possible to the extraneous discharge of more condition of high vacuum degree.For airtight, being limited with air tight, preferred leak rate is less than 1 × 10-9Pa.m3/s.For the bottom of collector, be relative to electron beam launch party to for, be the distalmost end relative to electron beam bottom this.
For sheet metal, it is preferred that the material of sheet metal is stainless steel.Preferably, the thickness of sheet metal is set as that beam bombardment leaked air after 2000-3000 hour and is limited, mainly due to long-life space travelling wave tube under the normal pressure of ground the seasoned time at about 1000 hours;Further preferred thickness is 0.05-5mm.
For the setting of aperture, hole diameter is unsuitable excessive, preferably at 0.4-1.6mm, further preferred for 0.7-1.2mm, more preferably 0.9-1.1mm.Leak rate between aperture and sheet metal is the least, it is preferred that less than 1 × 10-9Pa.m3/s。
Based on same inventive concept, the present invention provides the preparation method of the collector of a kind of space travelling wave tube, including step:
(1) aperture is offered in the bottom at collector;
(2) on described aperture, cover a sheet metal, make to be formed between sheet metal and aperture airtight.
Based on same inventive concept, the present invention provides the preparation method of a kind of space travelling wave tube, it is characterised in that include step:
(1) aperture is offered in the bottom at collector;
(2) on described aperture, cover a sheet metal, make to be formed between sheet metal and aperture confined space;
