Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an X-ray tube with an anode which, during operation, carries a high voltage, preferably more than 120 kV, particularly preferably more than 300 kV, and which heats up.
  • the invention relates to an X-ray tube with a heat sink which is suitable for cooling the high-voltage anode when space is limited.
  • X-ray tubes as an example of a device for generating X-rays (X-ray generator) are known.
  • X-ray generator X-ray generator
  • DD 139 327 A suggests, for example, that to increase the dielectric strength in a housing of an X-ray tube, a sleeve made of a dielectric material such as epoxy resin with quartz powder, ceramic or PTFE, which essentially accommodates a glass bulb of the X-ray tube inserted therein and covers the X-ray tube radially opposite a housing, is proposed . Due to the additional dielectric material, the anode of the tube is better electrically shielded or insulated from the environment.
  • DE 10 2008 006 620 A1 shows an X-ray tube in which the tubular housing of the tube is made of a ceramic. The assemblies for generating the X-rays are arranged in the housing. The anode of an X-ray tube heats up during operation; to avoid damage from overheating, the heat from the anode is usually dissipated via a heat sink.
  • Passive heat sinks enlarge the heat-emitting surface of a heat-producing component and are generally known; for example from the DE 20 2007 007 568 U1 .
  • Known heat sinks usually consist of a metal with good thermal conductivity, for example aluminum or copper.
  • a metal heat sink on the part of the anode located outside the housing of the X-ray tube there is a minimum distance between the heat sink and other components or housing parts that have a reference potential (e.g. ground, GND, etc.) must be observed in order to prevent voltage flashovers. If the X-ray tube is to be operated with higher voltages, this safety distance must be increased accordingly. This can require an enlargement of the outer housing of a system in which the X-ray tube is arranged.
  • An insulation sleeve, as with the DD 139 327 A would affect the heat dissipation.
  • a heat sink made of a ceramic with good thermal conductivity properties such as aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride, could be used.
  • a ceramic heat sink is expensive to manufacture because special shapes must be used.
  • the metal of the anode - usually copper - has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the ceramic heat sink attached to the outside. This makes the heat transfer between the anode and the heat sink problematic: On the one hand, the heat sink should be in the best possible thermal conduction contact with the anode in order to achieve the highest possible heat transfer coefficient. On the other hand, the heat sink must not be damaged or even blown off by the anode that expands when it is heated.
  • the design requirement is "as compact as possible”.
  • the size of an X-ray generator is limited by the fact that certain components have to be integrated and the distances between the components, which are at different electrical potentials, have to be chosen so that the dielectric strength of the insulation media is not exceeded at any point.
  • JP 2009 164038 A shows as the closest prior art an X-ray tube with an anode heat sink according to the preamble of claim 1. A similar arrangement is shown in FIG WO 2013/021794 A1 .
  • US 2003/221816 A1 shows a heat sink with a metallic base body and ceramic plate-shaped heat dissipation elements. Similar arrangements are shown in CN 202 221 659 U , pin-shaped heat emitting elements are also shown there.
  • WO 2012/031943 A1 shows, inter alia, cylindrical heat sinks in which a metallic base body is cast onto ceramic plate-shaped heat dissipation elements.
  • a core idea of the invention is to use a base body of a heat sink as an interface to the anode to be cooled, which is preferably made of metal, made of a metal that conducts heat well, such as. B. aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu), and on the base body to increase the surface area as heat transfer to the environment heat dissipation elements such. B. cooling pins and / or cooling fins made of a heat conductive, but electrically insulating ceramic, such. B. aluminum nitride (AIN) or silicon carbide (SiC) to be arranged.
  • AIN aluminum nitride
  • SiC silicon carbide
  • This special structure of the heat sink can advantageously meet three requirements: (i) the component to which the heat sink is attached can be cooled by thermal radiation and, above all, convection; (ii) The insulation distance is compared to neighboring components that have different electrical potentials - in comparison z. B. with a conventional all-metal or all-metal heat sink - increased; and (iii) stress problems that would result from different coefficients of thermal expansion between the component to be cooled and the ceramic can be compensated for by the base body as a transition piece.
  • the combination of inexpensive components and the additional function of electrical insulation makes the heat sink according to the invention superior to known heat sinks made of aluminum or ceramic.
  • the base body can consist of a metal with good thermal conductivity properties.
  • the base body preferably consists of a metal or a metal alloy with a coefficient of thermal conductivity of at least 100 W / (m K), preferably more than 200 W / (m K).
  • aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag) or an alloy of these metals are suitable as metal.
  • the material of the electrically insulating heat dissipation elements preferably has a coefficient of thermal conductivity of more than 100 W / (m K). Electrically insulating here means that the material has a specific resistance of at least 10 12 ⁇ * m / mm 2 and more.

  • the main body of the heat sink can basically be a CNC-manufactured metal part.
  • the base body of the cooling body for the anode can be tubular, in particular cylindrical. If the base body is essentially a cylinder, it can be manufactured as a rotating body.
