Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high-voltage tube according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • it relates to an X-ray tube.
  • Such an x-ray tube is e.g. known from DE-PS 24 48 497 and the AEG telephony publication "X-ray tubes in metal ceramic technology" June 1983, Figure 3.
  • the aim of such tubes is to further improve the high voltage strength and to build the tubes smaller and to be able to operate them at higher voltages.
  • the present invention has for its object to further increase the high voltage strength in a tube mentioned above.
  • the inserted metallic pipe section causes a homogenization of the electrical field profile and reduces the risk that irregular and increased field strength loads occur in the fastening area of the electrode bushing on the inner circumference of the opening of the ring-shaped insulator, which can lead to high voltage breakdowns.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically in cross section the cathode end of an X-ray tube.
  • the vacuum housing is formed by the essentially cylindrical outer jacket 2 made of metal, the disk-shaped insulator 3 made of ceramic and the bushing 1 arranged in the central opening of the insulator 3, which is tubular and carries the cathode 8 on the vacuum side.
  • the metal-ceramic connections are designed to be vacuum-tight and, for example, designed as soldered connections.
  • the metal outer jacket 2 is at ground potential and the cathode bushing 1 is at a strong negative potential of, for example, -300 to -450 kilovolts.
  • On the inner surface of the outer shell 2 can still be an annular Extension 5 may be arranged, which has a shielding effect against secondary electrons.
  • the cathode coil located in the vacuum space 7 is designated by 8.
  • the tube is essentially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis 9 of the tube.
  • this insulating disk 3 is divided into two ring parts 31 and 32 arranged concentrically to one another and a metallic tube section 4 is interposed.
  • the connections between this pipe section 4 and the ceramic ring parts 31 and 32 are vacuum-tight, in particular soldered connections.
  • the pipe section preferably has an approximately funnel-shaped extension 6 which projects into the vacuum space 7 and which has shielding effects and influences which influence the electrical field.
  • the tube section 4 can furthermore be expedient to apply an externally supplied potential to this tube section 4, which is readily possible in the exemplary embodiment shown since the tube section 4 soldered in a vacuum-tight manner can be contacted from the outside. It is with an appropriate choice the magnitude of the applied voltage, which must have a value between the voltage on the outer jacket 2 and the cathode bushing 1, makes it possible to reduce the electric field strength in the critical region of the bushing 1.
  • the voltage applied to the pipe section 4 can be, for example, -200KV if a voltage of -400 KV is applied to the bushing 1 in relation to the ground potential OV on the outer jacket.
  • the field strength in the particularly critical area in which the bushing 1 is passed through the ceramic disk 3 can be reduced by up to approximately 30%.
  • the tube section 4 can also consist only of a solder metal layer with which the concentric ring parts 31 and 32 are connected to one another in a vacuum-tight manner.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show further preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, the same numbers being used for the same.
  • the ring parts 31 and 32 made of insulating material overlap in the radial direction, ie the inner diameter of the outer ring part 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the inner ring part 31.
  • the ring parts 31 and 32 are in the direction of the longitudinal axis 9 of the tube staggered.
  • the inner ring part 31 is arranged closer to the cathode 8.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the outer ring part 32 is arranged closer to the cathode 8.
  • the pipe section 4 each has a shoulder that changes its diameter.
  • the potential of the metallic pipe section 4 is expediently to be chosen with regard to the maximum field strength that occurs on the outer insulating ring part, that is on the outer surface of the interposed metallic pipe section 4.
  • the section on the cathode side is a section X-ray tube constructed essentially rotationally symmetrical to the longitudinal axis 9 of the tube.
