Definitions
- the invention relates to a directly heated oxide cathode, in particular for runtime tubes in pulse mode.
- Directly heated oxide cathodes for electron tubes are known, for example, from DE-AS 2160145 and DE-AS 2904653.
- Such oxide cathodes essentially consist of a cathode body (base metal plate) made of a high-resistance alloy and an electron emission layer.
- the base metal plate is bow-shaped.
- the oxide layer is applied to the outside of the flat part of the base metal plate.
- Connections for the DC voltage source are provided at the ends of the base metal plate facing away from it.
- the invention has for its object to provide a directly heated oxide cathode, especially for runtime tubes, which is characterized by a very short heating time.
- the directly heated oxide cathode shown schematically in section in the figure essentially consists of a cylindrical outer conductor 1.
- An inner conductor 2 is arranged coaxially in this.
- the inner conductor 2 is Rb 1 Lk / 28.6.1983 attached to the outer conductor 1 by a ceramic support disk 3.
- a thin metal layer 4, preferably made of nickel, is provided on one end of the cathode and is soldered to the inner conductor 2 and the outer conductor 1.
- An electron-emitting oxide layer 5, for example barium oxide layer, is applied on the outside of the thin metal layer 4.
- the cathode is designed as a matrix cathode
- nickel powder provided with a binder and preferably sintered is sprayed onto the thin metal layer 4, which preferably consists of nickel.
- the emission mass (oxide layer 5) is then applied.
- Inner conductor 2 and outer conductor 1, which are preferably made of nickel or a nickel alloy, are thick-walled, so that no heating takes place when the current is high.
- the direct current from the inner conductor 2 to the outer conductor flows over the thin-walled Kahtodenblech (metal layer 4) and heats it up quickly.
- the thin metal layer 4 is concave and has an inhomogeneous wall thickness. This measure and a suitable choice of material for the inner and outer conductors can achieve a uniform temperature distribution of the cathode.

This cathode should have a very short heating time. To this end, the invention provides that an outer conductor (1) is cylindrical and an inner conductor (2) is arranged coaxially therein by means of a ceramic support disc (3), and that on one end face one with the outer conductor (1) and the inner conductor (2) Connected metal layer (4) is provided, which is provided with an electron-emitting oxide layer (5). The oxide cathode according to the invention is used in particular in the case of runway tubes in pulsed operation.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine direkt geheizte Oxidkathode, insbesondere für Laufzeitröhren im Pulsbetrieb.The invention relates to a directly heated oxide cathode, in particular for runtime tubes in pulse mode.
Direkt geheizte Oxidkathoden für Elektronenröhren sind beispielsweise aus der DE-AS 2160145 und der DE-AS 2904653 bekannt. Derartige Oxidkathoden bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem Kathodenkörper (Basismetallplatte) aus einer Hochwiderstandslegierung und einer Elektronenemissionsschicht. Die Basismetallplatte ist dabei bügelförmig ausgebildet. Die Oxidschicht ist auf der Außenseite des flachen Teils der Basismetallplatte aufgebracht. An den davon abgewendeten Enden der Basismetallplatte sind Anschlüsse für die Gleichspannungsquelle vorgesehen.Directly heated oxide cathodes for electron tubes are known, for example, from DE-AS 2160145 and DE-AS 2904653. Such oxide cathodes essentially consist of a cathode body (base metal plate) made of a high-resistance alloy and an electron emission layer. The base metal plate is bow-shaped. The oxide layer is applied to the outside of the flat part of the base metal plate. Connections for the DC voltage source are provided at the ends of the base metal plate facing away from it.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine direkt geheizte Oxidkathode insbesondere für Laufzeitröhren zu schaffen, die sich durch eine sehr kurze Anheizzeit auszeichnet.The invention has for its object to provide a directly heated oxide cathode, especially for runtime tubes, which is characterized by a very short heating time.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäB durch eine direkt geheizte Kathode mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a directly heated cathode with the features of claim 1.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand zusätzlicher Ansprüche.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of additional claims.
Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels weiter erläutert.The invention is further explained using an exemplary embodiment.
Die in der Figur schematisch im Schnitt dargestellte direkt geheizte Oxidkathode besteht im wesentlichen aus einem zylinderförmigen Außenleiter 1. In diesem ist ein Innenleiter 2 koaxial angeordnet. Der Innenleiter 2 ist Rb 1 Lk/28.6.1983 dabei durch eine Keramikabstützscheibe 3 am AuBenleiter 1 befestigt. Auf der einen Stirnseite der Kathode ist eine vorzugsweise aus Nickel bestehende dünne Metallschicht 4 vorgesehen, die mit dem Innenleiter 2 und dem Außenleiter 1 verlötet ist. Auf der Außenseite der dünnen Metallschicht 4 ist eine Elektronen emittierende Oxidschicht 5, beispielsweise Bariumoxidschicht, aufgebracht.The directly heated oxide cathode shown schematically in section in the figure essentially consists of a cylindrical outer conductor 1. An
Für den Fall, daß die Kathode als Matrixkathode ausgebildet ist, wird auf die vorzugsweise aus Nickel bestehende dünne Metallschicht 4 mit einem Binder versehenes Nickelpulver aufgesprüht und aufgesintert. Anschließend wird die Emissionsmasse (Oxidschicht 5) aufgebracht. Innenleiter 2 und Außenleiter 1, die vorzugsweise aus Nickel oder einer Nickellegierung bestehen, sind dickwandig, damit bei hohem Stromdurchgang keine Aufheizung erfolgt. Der Gleichstrom vom Innenleiter 2 zum Außenleiter fließt über das dünnwandige Kahtodenblech (Metallschicht 4) und heizt dieses schnell auf. Die dünne Metallschicht 4 ist in diesem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel konkav ausgebildet und weist eine inhomogene Wandstärke auf. Durch diese Maßnahme sowie durch eine geeignete Materialauswahl für Innen- und Außenleiter kann man eine gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung der Kathode erreichen.In the event that the cathode is designed as a matrix cathode, nickel powder provided with a binder and preferably sintered is sprayed onto the thin metal layer 4, which preferably consists of nickel. The emission mass (oxide layer 5) is then applied.
