Description

Einrichtung zum Messen des Anodenstromes von Glühkathodenentladungsröhren, insbesondere Röntgenröhren Das Patent 61q.925 behandelt eine Einrichtung zum Messen des Anodenstromes von Glühkathodenentladungsröhren, insbesondere Röntgenröhren, bei welcher zwecks Voranzeige des Anodenstromes das Meßgerät von einer vorzugsweise im oder parallel zum Heizkreis der Glühkathodenentladungsröhre liegenden Einrichtung, welche dieselbe Charakteristik wie die Glühkathodenentladungsröhre hat, beeinflußt wird. Diese Vorrichtung stellt also gewissermaßen eine Nachbildung oder ein Abbild der Glühkathodenröhre, insbesondere Röntgenröhre, dar, deren Anodenstrom gemessen werden soll. Bei den in dem Patent 614925 dargestellten Meßeinrichtungen wird als Abbild eine besondere Hilfsröhre verwendet, die im Sättigungsgebiet mit einer gegenüber der Glühkathodenröhre geringen Anodenspannung arbeitet und in deren Anodenstromkreis das Meßgerät liegt.Device for measuring the anode current of hot cathode discharge tubes, X-ray tubes in particular. Patent 61q.925 deals with a device for measuring the anode current of hot cathode discharge tubes, especially X-ray tubes, in which, for the purpose of preliminary display of the anode current, the measuring device is preferably operated by one in or parallel to the heating circuit of the hot cathode discharge tube, which has the same characteristic as the hot cathode discharge tube will. This device is, so to speak, a replica or an image the hot cathode tube, in particular an X-ray tube, whose anode current is measured shall be. In the measuring devices shown in the patent 614925 as Image uses a special auxiliary tube, which is in the saturation area with an opposite the hot cathode tube works with low anode voltage and in its anode circuit the measuring device is lying.

Erfindungsgemäß läßt sich die Anordnung einer besonderen Hilfsröhre vermeiden, wenn in der Glühkathodenentladungsröhre, insbesondere Röntgenröhre, eine Hilfselektrode angebracht wird, die über das Meßgerät an eine gegenüber der Anodenspannung der Glühkathodenröhre, insbesondere Röntgenröhre, geringe Spannung angeschlossen wird, so daß das Meßgerät den beim Einschalten der Röhrenheizung über die Hilfselektrode fließenden Strom mißt. Dieser Strom ist bei geeigneter Anordnung der Hilfselektrode dem zu erwartenden Anodenstrom der Röhre pro. portional.According to the invention, the arrangement of a special auxiliary tube avoid if a Auxiliary electrode is attached, which is connected via the measuring device to an opposite to the anode voltage connected to the hot cathode tube, in particular the X-ray tube, low voltage is so that the measuring device when the tube heater is switched on via the auxiliary electrode measures flowing current. This current is with a suitable arrangement of the auxiliary electrode the expected anode current of the tube per. portional.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung zeigt die Abbildung. Mit 11 ist eine Röntgenröhre bezeichnet, deren Heizspirale 12 an der Sekundärwicklung eines Heiztransformators 13 liegt. Die Anode i q. *der Röhre erhält ihre Anodenspannung von dem Hochspannungstransformator 15, der ebenso wie der Heiztransformator 13, aber unabhängig von diesem an das Netz angeschlossen werden kann. In unmittelbarer Nähe der Heizspirale 12, aber isoliert von dieser ist eine Hilfselektrode 16 angeordnet, die über ein Milliamperemeter 17 an einen Hilfstransformator 18 angeschlossen ist. Die Spannung (einige ioo Volt am besten), an welche die Hilfselektrode 16 gelegt wird, wird zweckmäßig so gewählt, daß im Sättigungsgebiet gearbeitet wird, ähnlich wie bei der im Hauptpatent benutzten besonderen Hilfsröhre. Wenn die Heizspirale 12 geheizt wird, fließt über die Hilfselektrode 16 ein Strom, der proportional dem zu erwartenden Anodenstrom der Röntgenröhre bei gleicher Heizung ist. Dieser Strom wird von dem Miniamperemeter 17 angezeigt, das zweckmäßig so geeicht ist, daß es gleich die Anodenstrom-,verte anzeigt. Auf diese Weise kann vor Einschalten der Hochspannung ohne besondere Hilfsröhre der zu erwartende Anodenstrom gemessen und eingestellt werden. Beim Einschalten der Anodenspannung wird zweckmäßig die Spannung für die Hilfselektrode selbsttätig abgeschaltet. Im einzelnen kann die Schaltung so gewählt werden, wie im Hauptpatent bzw. in den übrigen Zusatzpatenten dargestellt und beschrieben ist.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the figure. An X-ray tube is designated with 11, the heating coil 12 of which is connected to the secondary winding of a heating transformer 13. The anode i q. * The tube receives its anode voltage from the high-voltage transformer 15, which, like the filament transformer 13, but can be connected to the mains independently of it. In the immediate vicinity of the heating coil 12, but isolated therefrom, an auxiliary electrode 16 is arranged, which is connected to an auxiliary transformer 18 via a milliammeter 17. The voltage (a few 100 volts at best) to which the auxiliary electrode 16 is applied is expediently chosen so that it is operated in the saturation region, similar to the special auxiliary tube used in the main patent. When the heating coil 12 is heated, a current flows through the auxiliary electrode 16 which is proportional to the anode current of the X-ray tube to be expected with the same heating. This current is displayed by the mini-ammeter 17, which is appropriately calibrated so that it immediately displays the anode current values. In this way, before switching on the high voltage, the anode current to be expected can be measured and set without a special auxiliary tube. When the anode voltage is switched on, the voltage for the auxiliary electrode is expediently switched off automatically. In detail, the circuit can be selected as shown and described in the main patent or in the other additional patents.

An sich sind Glühkathodenröhren, in denen nahe der Heizspirale eine Hilfselektrode angebracht ist, bekannt. Jedoch arbeitet bei den bekannten Anordnungen diese Hilfselektrode als Steuerelektrode -zur selbsttätigen Brennfleckregelung oder selbsttätigen Strombegrenzung, während bei der Erfindung die Hilfselektrode an Stelle einer besonderen, zur Anodenstrommessung dienenden Hilfsentladungsröhre verwendet wird.As such, there are hot cathode tubes in which one near the heating coil Auxiliary electrode is attached, known. However, works with the known arrangements this auxiliary electrode as a control electrode -for automatic focal spot control or automatic current limitation, while in the invention the auxiliary electrode in place a special auxiliary discharge tube used to measure the anode current will.
