FIG. 2 shows the present invention applied to the attachment/detachment part of the electron gun electrode section, and the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 indicate the same components. A major feature of the device shown in FIG. 2 is that the bushing 19 is integrally formed with the epoxy resin and the conductive members 20 and 21 having electric field relaxation rings 15 and 16 at both ends thereof. be. By forming the ring in this manner, no gap is formed between the epoxy resin and the electric field relaxation ring, so that the dielectric strength can be increased compared to the device shown in FIG. Moreover, the lid body 12
Since the electron gun electrode section 3 is also integrally molded with the insulation exchange rod 22 made of epoxy resin, the dielectric strength between the insulation exchange rod 22, the lid body 12, and the electron gun electrode section 3 can also be increased. However, since the insulation exchange rod 22 and the bushing 19 are made of a relatively rigid epoxy resin, it is not possible to increase the degree of adhesion when the two are fitted together as is. Therefore, in the device shown in Figure 2,
A funnel-shaped hole is inserted between the bushing 19 and the insulation exchange rod 22.
Both are fitted through an insulating spacer 23 made of EP rubber. With this configuration, by pressing the insulation exchange rod 22 from above the lid 12, it is possible to easily prevent a gap from forming between the insulation exchange rod 22 and the bushing 19, and to obtain a high dielectric strength voltage. becomes.
