Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schirmgitterelektronen­röhre gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a screen grid electron tube according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beim Betrieb von Elektronenröhren bei hohen Frequenzen tre­ten zusätzliche Verluste auf, die durch Hochfrequenzströme hervorgerufen werden. Dies ist besonders der Fall, wenn Senderöhren mit hohen Anodenwechselspannungen betrieben werden. Die durch die Anodenwechselspannung gespeisten Hochfrequenzströme erzeugen im Gitter-Anodenraum auf den Zuführungen und den Elektroden Verluste, die durch speziel­le Kühlung abgeführt werden müssen.When operating electron tubes at high frequencies, additional losses occur which are caused by high-frequency currents. This is particularly the case when transmitter tubes are operated with high anode AC voltages. The high-frequency currents fed by the anode alternating voltage generate losses in the grid anode space on the leads and the electrodes, which have to be dissipated by special cooling.

Bei Hochfrequenzröhren-Leistungsverstärkern mit Frequenzen von 100MHz bis 1000MHz, d.h. im VHF- bzw. UHF-Bereich, ins­besondere im IV/V-Bereich, stellt die Kühlung der Röhren­anschlüsse immer ein erhebliches Problem dar. Bei einem Betrieb bei hohen Frequenzen müssen die Röhren möglichst kurz und kompakt beschaffen sein, wodurch allerdings die Wärmeabfuhr immer schwieriger wird.For high-frequency tube power amplifiers with frequencies from 100MHz to 1000MHz, i.e. In the VHF and UHF range, especially in the IV / V range, the cooling of the tube connections is always a significant problem. When operating at high frequencies, the tubes must be as short and compact as possible, which, however, makes heat dissipation more and more difficult becomes.

Insbesondere sind bei Hochleistungsröhren für Sender im IV/V-(UHF-)Bereich die Abmessungen (Systemlänge und Zufüh­rungslänge) bedingt durch die elektrische Wellenlänge sehr kurz. Außerdem ist die Wärmeleitfähigkeit der in der Röh­rentechnologie verbreiteten Werkstoffe so hoch, daß über die Anschlüsse eine Wärmeabfuhr stattfindet und daher ent­sprechend gekühlt werden muß.In the case of high-performance tubes for transmitters in the IV / V (UHF) range in particular, the dimensions (system length and feed length) are very short due to the electrical wavelength. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the materials widely used in tube technology is so high that heat is dissipated via the connections and must therefore be cooled accordingly.

Bei Verwendung von Hochleistungstetroden in Leistungsver­stärkern (Topfkreisen) stellt die Kühlung des Schirmgitter­anschlusses immer besondere konstruktive und kühltechnische Anforderungen an den Anwender.When using high-performance tetrodes in power amplifiers (pot circles), the cooling of the screen grid connection always places special design and cooling requirements on the user.

Es ist bekannt, im Hinblick auf die bei hohen Frequenzen ansteigenden Hochfrequenzverluste zur forcierten Luftküh­lung des Schirmgitteranschlußringes diesen Teil der Röhre mit einer besonderen Kühlluftführung zu versehen. Zwei an diesem Kühlluftkanal beiderseits der Anschlußfläche ange­brachte Reihen von rechteckigen Öffnungen dienen dabei dem Luftein- und austritt (Senderöhren-Datenbuch 1980/81, S.147, heraugegeben von Siemens AG, Bereich Bauelemente, München, Bundesrepublik Deutschland).It is known to provide this part of the tube with a special cooling air duct in view of the high-frequency losses at high frequencies for forced air cooling of the screen grille connecting ring. Two rows of rectangular openings attached to this cooling air duct on both sides of the connection area serve for the air inlet and outlet (transmitter tube data book 1980/81, p.147, published by Siemens AG, Components Department, Munich, Federal Republic of Germany).

Es sind auch Senderöhren bekannt geworden, deren Schirm­gitteranschluß anstatt einer Luftkühlung eine integrierte Wasserkühlschlange enthält (NTG-Fachberichte 85, 1983, Seiten 128 bis 132, erschienen im VDE-Verlag, Berlin, ISBN 3-8007-1321-7). Diese Kühlvorrichtung macht aller­dings einen Röhrenwechsel schwierig und zeitaufwendig.Transmitter tubes have also become known whose screen grille connection contains an integrated water cooling coil instead of air cooling (NTG Technical Reports 85, 1983, pages 128 to 132, published by VDE Verlag, Berlin, ISBN 3-8007-1321-7). However, this cooling device makes changing the tubes difficult and time-consuming.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die an den Röh­renanschlüssen, insbesondere am Schirmgitteranschluß auftre­tende Verlustwärme zu verringern, die Wärmeabfuhr zu ver­bessern und somit eine mit geringem technologischen Aufwand verbundene effektive Röhrenkühlung zu schaffen. Außerdem soll eine vollkommene Trennung der HF-Ströme des Anoden­Schirmgitter-Raumes und des Steuergitter-Schirmgitter-­Raumes erzielt werden.The invention has for its object to reduce the heat loss occurring at the tube connections, in particular at the screen grid connection, to improve the heat dissipation and thus to provide an effective tube cooling associated with little technological effort. In addition, a complete separation of the HF currents of the anode shield grid space and the control grid shield grid space is to be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schirmgitter­elektronenröhre mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a screen grid electron tube with the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Er­findung sind Gegenstand zusätzlicher Ansprüche.Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are the subject of additional claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung sind für eine Elektronenröhre, insbe­sondere eine Sendetetrode, zwei getrennte Schirmgitteran­schlußelemente (Kontaktringe) und Durchführungen vorge­sehen. Die erste Durchführung besteht dabei aus einem gut wärmeleitenden Werkstoff mit geringen HF-Verlusten. Auf­grund seiner Konstruktion und seiner physikalischen Eigen­schaften läßt sich dieser Werkstoff gut kühlen. Von weite­rem Vorteil ist, daß dadurch die durch die elektrische Wellenlänge bedingte Systemlänge unabhängig von mechani­schen Erfordernissen kurz gehalten werden kann. Die zweite Durchführung wird für den mechanischen Aufbau,Befestigung des Schirmgitters und Verschließen der Vakuumhülle benutzt. Bei der Werkstoffauswahl wird die mechanische Beanspru­chung und die thermische Ausdehnung des hieran durch Ver­schrauben befestigten Schirmgitters berücksichtigt. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil besteht darin, daß durch die doppelte Schirmgitterdurchführung eine Kühlluftführung erreicht wird, mit der sich die zulässigen Temperaturen der Röhre beherrschen lassen.
Darüber hinaus ist von besonderem Vorteil, daß durch die doppelten Schirmgitteranschlüsse außerdem eine vollkommene Trennung der HF-Ströme des Anoden-Schirmgitter(G₂)-Raumes und des Steuergitter(G₁)-Schirmgitter(G₂)-Raumes erreicht wird. Kopplungen, die z.B. an Schirmgitterkontaktfedern ent­stehen können, sind damit ausgeschlossen.
According to the invention, two separate screen grid connection elements (contact rings) and bushings are provided for an electron tube, in particular a transmission tetrode. The first implementation consists of a good thermally conductive material with low RF losses. Due to its construction and its physical properties, this material can be cooled well. Another advantage is that the system length caused by the electrical wavelength can be kept short regardless of mechanical requirements. The second implementation is used for the mechanical construction, fastening the screen grille and closing the vacuum envelope. When selecting the material, the mechanical stress and the thermal expansion of the screen grille attached to it by screwing are taken into account. A major advantage is that the double screen grille leads to cooling air that can be used to control the permissible temperatures of the tube.
In addition, it is particularly advantageous that a complete separation of the RF currents of the anode screen grid (G₂) space and the control grid (G₁) screen grid (G₂) space is achieved by the double shield grid connections. Couplings that can occur, for example, on screen grid contact springs are therefore excluded.

Anhand eines in der Figur der Zeichnung dargestellten be­vorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels soll die Erfindung weiter erläutert werden. Teile, die nicht unbedingt zum Verständ­nis der Erfindung beitragen, sind in der Figur unbezeichnet oder weggelassen.On the basis of a preferred embodiment shown in the figure of the drawing, the invention will be further explained. Parts which do not necessarily contribute to an understanding of the invention are not shown in the figure or are omitted.

Die Figur zeigt schematisch im Ausschnitt als Ausführungs­beispiel eine Sendetetrode. Die Sendetetrode weist im we­sentlichen einen koaxialen Aufbau der Elektroden, nämlich der Kathode, des Steuergitters, des Schirmgitters und der Anode sowie deren Durchführungen auf. Der Anschluß des Schirmgitters 5 besteht aus zwei in axialer Richtung von­einander beabstandeten ringförmigen Schirmgitteranschluß­elementen (Kontaktringen) 1 und 2. Diese beiden Schirmgit­ teranschlußelemente 1, 2 bilden zusammen mit ihren zugehö­rigen Durchführungen 3, 4 eine koaxiale Kühlluftführung (Kühlluftkanal), deren Verlauf durch Pfeile 7 angedeutet ist. Die ringförmigen Schirmgitteranschlußelemente 1, 2 bestehen aus einem Metall oder einer Legierung hoher Wär­meleitfähigkeit, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer. Die erste Durch­führung 3 besteht wiederum aus einem gut wärmeleitenden Werkstoff, und zwar aus einem mit geringen HF-Verlusten, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer. Die zweite Durchführung 4 besteht aus einem mechanisch stabilen Werkstoff, dessen thermischer Ausdehnungskoeffizient an den des als Vakuumhülle 6 bevor­zugt verwendeten Metall-Keramik-Materials angepaßt ist. Als Werkstoff für die zweite Durchführung 4 ist eine Eisen-­Kobalt-Nickel-Legierung besonders geeignet, um eine vakuum­dichte Metall-Keramik-Verbindung der Vakuumhülle 6 zu er­halten. Das Keramikmaterial dient dabei als Isolations­strecke zwischen den einzelnen Metall-Keramik-Verbindungen bzw. Durchführungen der Tetrode. Das Schirmgitter 5 ist an der zweiten Durchführung 4 mittels einer Verschraubung 8 befestigt. Die außen an den Schirmgitteranschlußelementen (Kontaktringen) 1, 2 in Form eines Schirmgitterfederkranzes angebrachten Kontaktfedern 9 erlauben eine nahezu unbeein­trächtigte koaxiale Kühlluftführung in Richtung der Pfeile 7.The figure schematically shows a cutout as an exemplary embodiment of a transmission tetrode. The transmitting tetrode essentially has a coaxial structure of the electrodes, namely the cathode, the control grid, the screen grid and the anode and their bushings. The connection of the screen grid 5 consists of two annular screen grid connection elements (contact rings) 1 and 2 spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. These two screen screens teranschlußelemente 1, 2 form together with their associated bushings 3, 4 a coaxial cooling air duct (cooling air duct), the course of which is indicated by arrows 7. The ring-shaped screen grid connection elements 1, 2 consist of a metal or an alloy of high thermal conductivity, preferably of copper. The first bushing 3 in turn consists of a good heat-conducting material, namely one with low RF losses, preferably copper. The second bushing 4 consists of a mechanically stable material, the coefficient of thermal expansion of which is adapted to that of the metal-ceramic material which is preferably used as the vacuum envelope 6. An iron-cobalt-nickel alloy is particularly suitable as the material for the second bushing 4 in order to obtain a vacuum-tight metal-ceramic connection of the vacuum envelope 6. The ceramic material serves as an insulation gap between the individual metal-ceramic connections or bushings of the tetrode. The screen grid 5 is fastened to the second bushing 4 by means of a screw connection 8. The contact springs 9 attached to the outside of the screen grid connection elements (contact rings) 1, 2 in the form of a screen grid spring ring allow an almost unimpaired coaxial cooling air flow in the direction of the arrows 7.
