Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Glimmentladungsröhre mit ringförmiger Kathode, die eine relativ hohe Zündspannung (über etwa 300 V) aufweist, und bezweckt, die Konstanz der Zündspannung zu verbessern. Dazu ist es notwendig, daß die Entladung bei jeder Zündung von genau definierten Punkten der Kathode ausgeht und nicht von Punkten, deren Lage durch Zufälligkeiten gegeben ist. Dies wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, daß die der Anode zugewandte Seite der Kathode eine geringe Anzahl Spitzen aufweist. Es sollen ihrer höchstens etwa fünf sein; und damit ste11t sich die Röhre gemäß der Erfindung in Gegensatz zu einer bekanntgewordenen Glimmentladungsröhre mit guter Konstanz der Brennspannung, deren Kathode zwecks Vergrößerung ihrer Oberfläche eine große Anzahl von Vertiefungen aufweist.The invention relates to a glow discharge tube with a ring-shaped cathode, which has a relatively high ignition voltage (above approximately 300 V) and is intended to improve the constancy of the ignition voltage. For this it is necessary that the discharge starts from precisely defined points on the cathode with each ignition and not from points whose position is determined by randomness. This is achieved according to the invention in that the side of the cathode facing the anode has a small number of tips. There should be at most about five of them; and thus the tube according to the invention stands in contrast to a known glow discharge tube with good constancy of the operating voltage, the cathode of which has a large number of depressions in order to increase its surface area.

Die Erfindung sei an Hand der Zeichnung erläutert. Diese zeigt eine im Längsschnitt gezeichnete Glimmentladungsröhre mit Glasgefäß i, mit einer ringförmigen Kathode 2 und einer stabförmigen Anode 3, .welch letztere sich in dem Isolierrohr 6 befindet und mit dem Sockelstift 5 leitend verbunden ist. Die Isoliermasse 7 dient zur Ergänzung der Isolierung der Anode in der Nachbarschaft des Sockelstiftes 5. Die Kathode, welche vom Sockelstift 4 getragen wird und mit diesem leitend verbunden ist, weist, in Anwendung des Erfindungsgedankens, drei Spitzen 2" auf hin der Zeichnung sind nur zwei sichtbar), welche sich auf ;der der Anode 3 zugewandten Seite der Kathode befinden. Eine besonders einfache Art, solche Spitzen herzustellen,.besteht im Eindrücken des Kathodenbleches von der Unterseite her.The invention is explained with reference to the drawing. This shows a Glow discharge tube drawn in longitudinal section with glass vessel i, with an annular one Cathode 2 and a rod-shaped anode 3, .which latter is in the insulating tube 6 is located and is conductively connected to the base pin 5. The insulating compound 7 is used to supplement the insulation of the anode in the vicinity of the base pin 5. The cathode, which is carried by the base pin 4 and is conductively connected to it is, has, in application of the inventive concept, three points 2 "on the drawing only two are visible), which are located on the side facing the anode 3 of the Cathode. There is a particularly simple way of producing such tips by pressing in the cathode sheet from the underside.

Die Zeichnung zeigt noch eine Steuerelektrode in Form der Spitze io, -welche mit dem Sockelstift 13 leitend verbunden und von der Isolierstoffhülle 12 umgeben' ist. Sie durchsetzt die Kathode in der Öffnung ii. Die gezeigte Form der Steuerelektrode trägt ebenfalls dazu bei, die Entladung an bestimmter Stelle einsetzen zu lassen.The drawing also shows a control electrode in the form of the tip io, -which is conductively connected to the base pin 13 and from the insulating sleeve 12 is surrounded '. It penetrates the cathode in the opening ii. The shown form of the Control electrode also helps to set the discharge at a certain point allow.
