THERMIONIC DISCHARGE DEVICE Filed Oct. 23, 1930' 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 W. 7.' G/BSON INVENTORS A. H. BOULESTREAU ATTORNEY Patented July 3, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE THERMIONIC DISCHARGE DEVICE Application October 23, 1930, Serial No. 490,822 In Great Britain May 21, 1930 Claims.
This invention relates to thermionic discharge devices, and more particularly to large thermionic power devices, and has for its chief object improvements in the construction and the means 5 for mounting the elements oi such devices in position.
According to this invention a thermionic discharge device is provided in which a cathode, a control electrode .and an anode are accommodated within an envelope, the cathode being entirely supported on one end 01' the envelope, the control electrode being entirely supported on the opposite end of the envelope, and the anode being supported from one side 01' the envelope at places between the cathode and control electrode support.
According to another feature of the invention, a thermionic device is provided in which the grid element consists of a substantially cylindrical cage built up of a pair of discs or rings interconnected by a series of parallel wires. The wires may be composed of tungsten or other suitable material, preferably of such dimension that the grid is in the form of a self-supporting cylinder, and preferably the wires are so welded to the discs or rings as to form a rigid structure.
According to another feature of the invention, the anode element comprises a cylindrical structure which is supported in position by rods dis posed at right angles to the cylinder. If desired a ring of molybdenum wire or other suitable ma terial may be disposed around each end of the anode structure, and the rod suitably connected at their inner ends to these rings.
Further features of the invention will be disclosed in the following description, wherein reference will be made to the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 illustrates a three-electrode discharge device made in accordance with this invention with the enclosing vessel shown in cross-section and portions of the electrode structure in cross-section to clearly show the details of construction;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed view of the grid shown in Fig. 1' disclosing the detailed structure of this electrode in inverse position to that shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 illustrates the supporting structure for the filament or cathode and its support from the glass stem of the vessel;
Fig. 4 is a side view of the filament structure shown in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 shows in detail an alternative arrangement for providing a flexible connection (or the 55 electrodes;
the Shield.
Fig. 6 shows an alternative method of supporting and tensioning the cathode, and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the upper portion of the grid structure shown in Fig. 1 to illustrate Referring now to Fig. 1 it will be seen that an envelope 1 is provided which may be of the glass known as Sibor" or of a boro-silicate glass, or of any similar heat resisting material. The envelope is provided with a reentrant stem at each end, and with two stems on one side. The filament assembly is supported from one end, the grid from the other end, and the anode from the side stems.
The anode 2 is composed of a sheet of suitable metal, such as molybdenum, the sheet being formed into a cylindrical shape with a riveted overlapping edge. Around the cylinder and near each end, are placed molybdenum wire rings 3, held in position by saddles 4. On one side of each ring, and in line with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder a nickel block 5 is fixed, into which the support rods 6 are fixed by suitable means, such as by means 01' tube I screwed into the block, the rods 6 being welded or silver-soldered into the tubes. The rods 6 are sealed into the side stem of the glass envelope, and are silversoldered to the caps 8 which form contact members for connecting external circuits to the anode.
The grid electrode 9, shown in Fig. 2, is composed of a number of rigid rods or wires 10, spotwelded or otherwise suitably fixed to metallic rings 11 and 12 at opposite ends. A metallic disc 13, adapted to function as a shield, is positioned adjacent the ring 12 and is provided with apertures through which the rods 10 pass. Support rods 14 and a slit tube 15 are provided'on the grid structure to allow of its being supported from one of the reentrant stems of the envelope.
The grid is mounted as shown in Fig. l with the slit tube 15 being held on the reentrant stem by means of a metallic collar 34. A piece of copper braid 16, or similar flexible material, is welded to the rod 17, which is itself connected to the cap 18 by a second piece of flexible material silver-soldered to the cap.
Figs. 3 and 4 show the method of mounting the tungsten filament 19. It will be seen that a reentrant glass stem 20 is provided, which carries the tungsten rods 21 to which the ends of the hairpin filament 19 are fixed. Two saddles 22 are adapted to be slidably mounted on the rods 21, and these carry a central support rod 23 which is bent at the end and provided with a hook 24, over which the loop of the filament is placed.
The reentrant stem 20 is sealed into the glass envelope 1 of Fig. 1.
There are many advantages in this form of construction for thermionic discharge devices. The electrodes being self-supporting may be carried on different portions of the envelope, with the advantage that the various leading-in wires from the electrodes are well separated from each other.
A further advantage is that the electrodes may be adjusted as to their relative positions more easily when the above described slidable mounting is adapted than when the supports are sealed directly into the envelope. For instance, the grid may be moved longitudinally by virtue of the split tube 15, and the copper braid 16, so as to adjust its position relative to the cathode and the anode.
In a similar manner, the anode may be moved across the longitudinal axis of the device bodily, or either end may be so moved, thus allowing it to be accurately aligned before it is finally fixed.
The filament may have any degree of initial tension placed upon it by releasing the fixing screws 40 of the blocks or saddles 22. The support rod 23 may then be adjusted and the saddles 22 rigidly fastened in position on the rods 21.
A further advantage of the above described manner of mounting the electrodes is that they may be easily dismounted for the purpose of effecting repairs. For instance, the filament may be dismounted completely by breaking the seal between the stem 20 and the envelope 1. A new filament may then be fixed in place, and in the event of it being of a different length from the original filament, the saddles 22 may be adjusted as above described, and the stem resealed to the envelope.
An alternative arrangement for flexibly connecting the grid or other electrode to its conducting leading-in wire is shown in Fig. 5. In this arrangement, the envelope 1 has a small stem 26 formed upon it, close to the electrode support, andv employed in connection with either of the electrodes to allow the electrode concerned to freely expand or otherwise move when heated.
The filament support may also be modified in many ways to insure that the filament proper remains taut when it is heated. The hook shown in Figs. 3 and 4 may be made suiiiciently springy to take up any expansion of the filament. Alternatively, for example, the central rod 23 may be replaced by two rods 30 and 31 carrying a block 32 through which passes a spring loaded hook 33 to which the bight of the filament is attached as shown in Fig. 6.
