Definitions
- the invention relates to an electron tube according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular an electron beam tube such as a traveling wave tube.
- the electron beam is collected in an electron collector after passing through an interaction area, the energy inherent in the beam electrons being obtained as heat loss in the electron collector, which is also called the collector.
- the electron collector frequently consists of a plurality of perforated diaphragm-shaped electrodes of different potentials one behind the other in the beam direction and one of the vacuum spaces Bottom part of the tube, which usually heats up considerably.
- an electron beam receiver for runtime tubes which has a plurality of electrodes arranged one behind the other in the direction of the electron beam axis and which are surrounded by a common metallic outer shell.
- a common metallic outer shell Arranged between the electrodes and the outer shell are elongate insulating parts which run in the axial direction and are pressed radially onto the outer shell and the electrodes by shrinking on the outer shell.
- the outer shell can simultaneously form the vacuum shell of the electron beam interceptor.
- an electron beam receiver is also known, the only collecting electrode of which is surrounded by a cylindrical metallic outer shell. Electrode and outer shell are spaced radially from one another by an insulator arrangement. The outer shell is sealed in a vacuum-tight manner at the end.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an electron tube with a thermally strong electron collector.
- FIG. 1 shows a section of a cross section through an electron collector of a traveling wave tube with a cylindrical wall part 1 and a base part 2, which is double-walled according to the invention. It consists of the two parts 3 and 4, which form an intermediate space 5.
- the vacuum envelope is formed by the cylindrical part 1 and the outer wall part 4 of the base part 2, so that there is a vacuum in the intermediate space 5 as well as within the remaining tube 7.
- the additional wall part 3 of the bottom part 3 has one or more openings 6 for the purpose of pressure exchange, which are arranged in the wall part 3 so that at most a small part of the incoming high-energy electrons 9 can reach the outer wall part 4 through the openings 6 .
- the advantage achieved thereby is that no strong, selective heating of the outer wall part 4 can occur, so that this component 4 forming the vacuum seal is not subjected to excessive thermal stress.
- the wall part 3, which is completely in a vacuum can, as it turns out, be subjected to greater thermal loads without damage. It gives off its heat over a large area to the adjacent wall parts of the vacuum housing.
- FIG. 2 has a plurality of electrode parts 23, 24, 28 fastened in a ceramic tube 21.
- the bottom part 22 form the two wall parts 23 and 24, of which in turn the outer wall part 24 forms part of the vacuum housing.
- the inner wall part 23 is provided in the direction of the incoming electrons 9.
- one or more openings 26 are again provided in the wall part 23, e.g. are so inclined in the wall part 23 that no or only a few high-energy electrons can reach the outer wall part 24 of the double-walled bottom part 22.
- the outer wall parts 4 and 24 are expediently made thin-walled than the inner wall parts 3 and 23, the inner wall parts expediently having a wall thickness 2 to 4 times thicker than the outer wall parts 4 and 24.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Elektronenröhre nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1, insbesondere eine Elektronenstrahlröhre wie eine Wanderfeldröhre.The invention relates to an electron tube according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular an electron beam tube such as a traveling wave tube.
Bei Elektronenstrahlröhren wie z.B. Wanderfeldröhren wird der Elektronenstrahl in einem Elektronenauffänger nach Durchlaufen eines Wechselwirkungsbereiches aufgefangen, wobei die in den Strahlelektronen innewohnende Energie als Verlustwärme im Elektronenauffänger, der auch Kollektor genannt wird, anfällt. Der Elektronenauffänger besteht häufig aus mehreren in Strahlrichtung hintereinanderliegenden lochblendenförmigen Elektroden unterschiedlichen Potentials und einem den Vakuumraum der Röhre abschließenden Bodenteil, das sich üblicherweise stark erwärmt. Um die Verlustwärme stärker auf davorliegende Wandungsteile der Elektronenauffänger zu verteilen, ist es wie bereits gesagt bekannt, mehrere Stufen vorzusehen oder aber das Bodenteil mit einem den Strahl aufspreizenden Spike zu versehen.In electron beam tubes such as traveling wave tubes, the electron beam is collected in an electron collector after passing through an interaction area, the energy inherent in the beam electrons being obtained as heat loss in the electron collector, which is also called the collector. The electron collector frequently consists of a plurality of perforated diaphragm-shaped electrodes of different potentials one behind the other in the beam direction and one of the vacuum spaces Bottom part of the tube, which usually heats up considerably. In order to distribute the heat loss more strongly on the wall parts of the electron collector in front of it, it is known, as already mentioned, to provide several stages or to provide the base part with a spike that spreads the beam.
Aus der EP-A- 0 259 606 ist ein Elektronenstrahlauffänger für Laufzeitröhren bekannt, der mehrere in Richtung der Elektronenstrahlachse hintereinander angeordnete Elektroden aufweist, die von einer gemeinsamen metallischen Außenhülle umgeben sind. Zwischen den Elektroden und der Außenhülle sind in axialer Richtung verlaufende längliche Isolierteile angeordnet, die durch Aufschrumpfen der Außenhülle radial an die Außenhülle und an die Elektroden angepreßt sind. Die Außenhülle kann gleichzeitig die Vakuumhülle des Elektronenstrahlauffängers bilden.From EP-A-0 259 606 an electron beam receiver for runtime tubes is known which has a plurality of electrodes arranged one behind the other in the direction of the electron beam axis and which are surrounded by a common metallic outer shell. Arranged between the electrodes and the outer shell are elongate insulating parts which run in the axial direction and are pressed radially onto the outer shell and the electrodes by shrinking on the outer shell. The outer shell can simultaneously form the vacuum shell of the electron beam interceptor.
Aus der US-A- 3,626,230 ist ebenfalls ein Elektronenstrahlauffänger bekannt, dessen einzige Auffangelektrode von einer zylindrischen metallischen Außenhülle umgeben ist. Elektrode und Außenhülle sind durch eine Isolatoranordnung radial voneinander beabstandet. Die Außenhülle ist durch einen Deckel am Ende vakuumdicht abgeschlossen.From US-A-3,626,230 an electron beam receiver is also known, the only collecting electrode of which is surrounded by a cylindrical metallic outer shell. Electrode and outer shell are spaced radially from one another by an insulator arrangement. The outer shell is sealed in a vacuum-tight manner at the end.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Elektronenröhre mit einem thermisch stark belastbaren Elektronenauffänger anzugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide an electron tube with a thermally strong electron collector.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebene Merkmal gelöst. Fortschrittliche Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by the feature specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Advanced developments of the invention result from the subclaims.
Anhand der in den Figuren 1 und 2 schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2.
Die Figur 1 zeigt ausschnittsweise einen Querschnitt durch einen Elektronenauffänger einer Wanderfeldröhre mit einem zylindrischen Wandungsteil 1 und einem Bodenteil 2, das gemäß der Erfindung doppelwandig ausgebildet ist. Es besteht aus den beiden Teilen 3 und 4, die einen Zwischenraum 5 bilden.

It consists of the two
Das zusätzliche Wandungsteil 3 des Bodenteils 3 weist zum Zwecke des Druckaustauschs eine oder mehrere Öffnungen 6 auf, die so in dem Wandungsteil 3 angeordnet sind, daß höchstens ein geringer Teil der ankommenden energiereichen Elektronen 9 durch die Öffnungen 6 hindurch auf das äußere Wandungsteil 4 gelangen können. Der dadurch erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß keine stärkere, punktuelle Erhitzungen des äußeren Wandungsteils 4 auftreten können, so daß dieses, den Vakuumabschluß bildende Bauteil 4 thermisch nicht zu stark belastet wird. Das Wandungsteil 3, das sich vollständig im Vakuum befindet, kann, wie sich herausstellt ohne Schäden thermisch stärker belastet werden. Es gibt seine Wärme großflächig an die angrenzenden Wandungsteile des Vakuumgehäuses ab.The
