Description

In Femsehaufnahmeröhren vom Vidikontyp befindet sich ein Feinstruktumetz in einer kleinen Entfernung von etwa 3 mm vor dem Fotoleitertarget. Es ist dort auf den mechanischen Teilen des Elektronenstrahlsystems isoliert befestigt Diese mechanischen Teile sind von einem Blechzylinder gebildet, der im Innem des Röhrenkolbens sitzt. Dieser Blechzylinder kann durch eine auf die Innenfläche des Röhrenkolbens aufgedampfte Metallschicht ersetzt werden. In diesem Fall besteht dann keine Möglichkeit mehr, das Feinstruktumetz an mechanischen Teilen des Elektronenstrahlsystemes zu befestigen. Die Befestigung kann zwar durch Tragringe erfolgen, die in den Röhrenkolben eingeschmolzen oder mit Indium eingequetscht werden. Bei der indiumqetschung besteht der Röhrenkolben zwischen dem Feinstruktumetz und dem Target in der Regel aus einem Keramikring. Durch diese Art der Netzbefestigung wird jedoch die Kapazität zwischen dem Target und dem Netz wesentlich erhöht, weil einerseits die wirksame Fläche des Netzes vergrößert wird und andererseits Keramik gegenüber Glas eine höhere Dielektrizitätskonstante besitzt.A fine structure mesh is located in the Vidicon type television tube at a small distance of about 3 mm in front of the photoconductor target. It is attached to the mechanical parts of the electron beam system in isolation. These mechanical parts are formed by a sheet metal cylinder that sits inside the tube bulb. This sheet metal cylinder can be replaced by a metal layer vapor-deposited on the inner surface of the tube bulb. In this case there is no longer any possibility of attaching the fine structure mesh to mechanical parts of the electron beam system. The attachment can be done by support rings that are melted into the tube bulb or squeezed with indium. In indium quenching, the tube bulb between the fine structure mesh and the target usually consists of a ceramic ring. This type of network attachment, however, significantly increases the capacitance between the target and the network because, on the one hand, the effective area of the network is increased and, on the other hand, ceramic has a higher dielectric constant than glass.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Femsehaufnahmeröhre vom Vidikontyp so auszubilden, daß bei fehlenden mechanischen Teilen zur Halterung des Feinstruktumetzes die Gesamtfläche auf ein Minimum reduziert wird, ohne daß die Funktion beeinträchtigt wird, ohne daß also die Kapazität zwischen Target und Netz in unerwünschter Weise erhöht wird.The invention has for its object to provide a Vidicon type television receiver tube so that if there are no mechanical parts for holding the fine structure mesh, the total area is reduced to a minimum without the function being impaired, without the capacity between the target and the mesh being undesirable is increased.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das in Richtung des Elektronenstrahles vor dem Target angeordnete Feinstruktumetz an radial in dem Röhrenkolben eingeschmolzenen Stiften befestigt ist. Die Stifte können im Röhrenkolben so eingelötet werden, daß die Innenfläche des Röhrenkolbens nicht deformiert wird. Die Kapazität zwischen Target und Feinstruktumetz entspricht dabei der Kapazität eines Vidikons, bei dem das Feinstruktumetz an dem Blechzylinder (Gitter 3) gehaltert istThis object is achieved in that the fine structure mesh arranged in the direction of the electron beam in front of the target is attached to pins which are melted radially into the tube bulb. The pins can be soldered into the tube bulb so that the inner surface of the tube bulb is not deformed. The capacity between the target and the fine structure mesh corresponds to the capacity of a video icon in which the fine structure mesh is held on the sheet metal cylinder (grid 3)

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform einer Halterung für ein das Gitter 4 bildendes Feinstruktumetz 12, die sich insbesondere in dem Fall eignet, indem das Gitter 3 von einer auf der Innenseite des Röhrenkolbens 5 aufgedampften Metallschicht gebildet ist. Das Feinstruktumetz 12 ist zwischen zwei Ringen 13, 14 gehalten, von denen der untere Ring 14 auf z. B. drei oder mehr Stiften 15 aufliegt, von denen in der Figur 2 nur zwei Stifte sichtbar sind.
