Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Elektronenstrahlauffänger gemäß dem 0berbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electron beam collector according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Aus der DE-PS 24 49 890 ist ein Elektronenstrahlauffänger für Laufzeitröhren, insbesondere Wanderfeldröhren bekannt, mit mehreren den Elektronenstrahl umgebenden Auffangelektroden, die durch Isolierkörper (Distanzstücke) voneinander beabstandet sind, welche mit den von ihnen beabstandeten Auffangelektroden in fester Verbindung stehen, wobei diese Elektroden jeweils von einer Manschette mit einer im Vergleich zu den Elektroden kleinen Wärmeausdehnung umspannt sind, derart, daß die radiale Wärmeausdehnung der mit den Elektroden verbundenen Distanzstücke angepaßt ist. Dabei sind alle Teile des Elektronenstrahlauffängers an ihren Berührungsflächen miteinander verlötet.From DE-PS 24 49 890 an electron beam collector for runtime tubes, in particular traveling wave tubes is known, with several collecting electrodes surrounding the electron beam, which are spaced apart by insulating bodies (spacers), which are in fixed connection with the collecting electrodes spaced from them, these electrodes are each covered by a sleeve with a small thermal expansion compared to the electrodes, such that the radial thermal expansion of the spacers connected to the electrodes is adapted. All parts of the electron beam collector are soldered together at their contact surfaces.
Zudem ist es bekannt, bei einem Einstufenkollektor die im Auffänger erzeugte Verlustwärme über eine Isolierfolie (DE-PS 24 49 506) oder eine Zwischenlage aus einem hochspannungsfesten, temperaturbeständigen und flexiblen Kunstharz (DE-PS 17 66 364) an das den Auffänger umgebende Gehäuse abzuleiten.In addition, it is known for a single-stage collector to dissipate the heat loss generated in the collector via an insulating film (DE-PS 24 49 506) or an intermediate layer made of a high-voltage-resistant, temperature-resistant and flexible synthetic resin (DE-PS 17 66 364) to the housing surrounding the collector .
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Elektronenstrahlauffänger zu schaffen, der sich auch bei hohen elektrischen Spannungen durch einwandfreie elektrische Isolation der Auffangelektrode(n) und durch eine optimale Ableitung der durch hohe thermische Belastung bedingten Wärme auszeichnet und der insbesondere relativ einfach herstellbar und montierbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide an electron beam collector, which is characterized even by high electrical voltages by perfect electrical insulation of the collecting electrode (s) and by optimal dissipation of the heat caused by high thermal stress and which is particularly easy to manufacture and assemble .
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Elektronenstrahlauffänger mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by an electron beam interceptor with the features of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen bzw. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand zusätzlicher Ansprüche.Advantageous refinements or developments of the invention are the subject of additional claims.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß durch die Auswahlmöglichkeit besonders gut wärmeleitender Isolierstoffe für die Isolierteile und eine beliebige Formgebung derselben eine optimale Wärmeableitung der an der bzw. den Auffangelektroden auftretenden Verlustwärme erreicht wird. Zudem treten gegenüber bekannten Elektronenstrahlauffängern auch bei hohen elektrischen Spannungen keine Isolationsprobleme hinsichtlich der Durchschlagsfestigkeit zwischen Auffangelektrode(n) und metallischem Gehäuse auf. Darüber hinaus lassen sich die einzelnen Auffängerteile, wie Auffangelektrode(n), Isolationsteil (z.B. Hohlzylinder) und metallisches Gehäuse durch Zusammenstekken einfach montieren und sind außerdem durch gute Zugänglichkeit leicht vorprüfbar.The advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in that, through the choice of particularly good heat-conducting insulating materials for the insulating parts and any shape thereof, an optimal heat dissipation of the heat loss occurring at the collecting electrode or electrodes is achieved. In addition, compared to known electron beam collectors, there are no insulation problems with regard to the dielectric strength between the collecting electrode (s) and the metallic housing, even at high electrical voltages. In addition, the individual collecting parts, such as collecting electrode (s), insulating part (e.g. hollow cylinder) and metallic housing can be easily assembled by plugging them together and are also easy to check due to good accessibility.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Figuren der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:
- Fig. 1 einen erfindungsgemäßen Elektronenstrahlauffänger schematisch im Schnitt und
- Fig. 2 den Elektronenstrahlauffänger der Fig. 1 im Schnitt II-II.
- Fig. 1 shows an electron beam collector according to the invention schematically in section and
- Fig. 2 shows the electron beam collector of Fig. 1 in section II-II.
Der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Elektronenstrahlauffänger ist als Zweistufen-Kollektor ausgebildet und besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei den Elektronenstrahl umgebenden, in Richtung der Elektronenstrahlachse durch Isolierkörper 8 voneinander beabstandeten hohlzylindrischen Auffangelektroden 5, 6. Die erste Auffangeelektrode 5 weist eine Elektronenstrahleintrittsöffnung 7 auf, und die zweite Auffangelektrode 6 ist mit dem Auffängerboden versehen, der zum Verhindern eines Elektronenrückfließens zweckmäßig trichterförmig zugespitzt ist. Die beiden über die ringförmigen Isolierkörper 8 miteinander verbundenen Auffangelektroden 5, 6 sind von einem elektrischen Isolationsteil 1 umgeben in einem metallischen Gehäuse 4 angeordnet. Das elektrische Isolationsteil 1 besteht aus mehreren in axialer Richtung verlaufenden länglichen Isolierteilen 2, die in eine elastische Isoliermasse 3 eingebettet sind. Die in die elastische Isoliermasse eingebetteten länglichen Isolierteile 2 berühren zweckmäßig mit ihren äußeren Randbereichen sowohl die Auffangelektroden 5, 6 als auch das metallische Gehäuse 4. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die länglichen Isolierteile 2 als Stäbe ausgebildet. Die länglichen Isolierteile 2 können aber auch beliebige andere Formen, z.B. die von Halbschalen haben und vorzugsweise aus Bornitrid, Aluminiumoxid, Berylliumoxid, Aluminiumnitrid oder dergleichen bestehen. Die elastische Isoliermasse 3 besteht vorzugsweise aus Silikonkautschuk. Aber auch andere elastische Isoliermassen mit ähnlich günstigen Eigenschaften, insbesondere hoher Wärmeleitfähigkeit, sind verwendbar. Die Auffangelektroden 5, 6 und das metallische Gehäuse 4 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kupfer. Die Auffangelektroden 5, 6 und/oder das metallische Gehäuse 4 können jedoch statt aus Kupfer aus Molybdän oder aus ähnlichen Metallen bzw. Legierungen bestehen.The electron beam collector shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is designed as a two-stage collector and essentially consists of two hollow cylindrical collecting electrodes 5, 6 surrounding the electron beam and spaced apart by
Der Zusammenbau des Elektronenstrahlauffängers ist denkbar einfach. Das im Zwischenraum eines Doppelzylinders durch Einfügen der länglichen Isolierteile 2 und deren Einbettung, z.B. durch Vergießen, in eine elastische Isoliermasse 3, vorzugsweise Silikonkautschuk, vorgefertigte elektrische Isolationsteil 1, in diesem Beispiel ein hohlzylindrisches Teil, wird über die zuvor mit dem Isolierkörper 8 (Isolierring) verlöteten (Metall-Keramik-Technik) Auffangelektroden 5, 6 geschoben und diese Teile anschließend in das metallische, insbesondere zur Wärmeableitung und HF-Abschirmung dienende Gehäuse paßgenau eingefügt. Dabei ist es vorteil haft, wenn die äußeren Randbereiche der länglichen Isolierteile 2 mit den Wandungen der Auffangelektroden 5, 6 und des metallischen Gehäuses 4 in engem Kontakt stehen.The assembly of the electron beam collector is very simple. The electrical insulation part 1, in this example a hollow cylindrical part, prefabricated in the space between a double cylinder by inserting the elongated insulating parts 2 and embedding them, for example by casting, in an elastic insulating compound 3, preferably silicone rubber, is connected to the insulating body 8 (insulating ring ) soldered (metal-ceramic technology), collecting electrodes 5, 6 pushed and then inserted these parts into the metallic housing, in particular for heat dissipation and RF shielding, with a precise fit.
