Detailed Description

In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following drawings in the embodiments of the present invention are combined to clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention:

as shown in fig. 1-6: a transmission type microfocus X-ray tube mainly comprises a tube body and a vacuum pump, wherein in figure 1, a part vertical to the tube body is the vacuum pump.

The tube is composed of a front tube section and a rear tube section which are connected through a hinge mechanism 9. The hinge mechanism 9 facilitates the opening of the tube during use and maintenance. In a preferred embodiment, the front and rear tube sections of the tube are respectively provided with tubular shells of equal diameter, the cross section of which is usually a rotating body, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the tubular shells are cylindrical.

The front pipe section is respectively packaged with a target unit, an anode unit and a cathode unit. The rear pipe section, i.e., the cathode housing 19, encloses the electron cloud generating unit 13 and the high pressure sleeve unit 15.

The electron cloud generating unit 13 is connected to the high voltage sleeve unit 15, and generates an electron cloud after voltage is applied, and electrons are emitted from the cathode unit 12 to the target unit through the anode unit.

In order to enable a detachable connection of the high-pressure sleeve unit 15, the high-pressure sleeve unit is preferably fastened to the rear section (sleeve II) by means of a fastening flange 16 arranged at the end of the sleeve II.

Further, in order to adjust the orientation of the high-pressure sleeve unit 15, as a preferred embodiment, the high-pressure sleeve unit is further connected with an adjusting flange 17, and the generating direction of the electron beam can be ensured by mechanical adjustment. In a preferred embodiment, a large gap is left between the adjusting flange 17 and the fixing flange 16, and the adjusting flange 17 and the fixing flange 16 are sealed in an end face sealing manner, so that the required sealing performance of the tube can be ensured. The position of the adjusting flange 17 in the fixing flange 16 can be adjusted by a jackscrew at the periphery of the fixing flange 16 for the purpose of adjustment.

Then, by applying a gate voltage to the emission end of the cathode unit 12, electron emission is suppressed, and the electron beam is made fine. When the electrons are bombarded to the anode unit, the electron beams are bombarded to the target surface through electromagnetic focusing to generate X rays which are directly transmitted out from the target. The cathode emission end and the grid assembly are used for controlling, so that electrons can be orderly arranged and emitted to the anode unit.
