9 Claims. (Cl. 313-.-250) The present invention relates to multi-electrode electron tubes of the type having a ceramic stem and is intended to provide an improved electrode-supporting structure for the type of multi-ele'ctrode electron tube.
Conventionally, multi-electrode electron tubes of the type described, which will be referred to herein as ceramic electron tube, have an electrode-supporting structure including electrode supports secured to the ceramic stem of the tube for supporting the electrodes thereof, which are soldered to the flanges, secured to the respective supports also by soldering. With this structure, each of the electrodes is customarily supported by a lead and two of said supports. This necessitates the use of a considerable number of leads and supports. Therefore, with conventional multi-electrode electron tubes, the ceramic stem has been made in a substantial size or difliculties have been met in assembling the mounting structure.
Moreover, with electron tubes such as tetrodes and pentodes usable at radio frequencies, it is required to minimize the inter-electrode capacitance between the plate and the control grid. However, with the structure as described above, there exists a substantial capacitive couple within the ceramic stem, rendering the structure inappropriate for use at radio frequencies.
The present invention has overcome these deficiencies of the conventional electrode-supporting structure and has for its object to provide a ceramic multi-electrode electron tube having an improved electrode-supporting structure in which a multiplicity of electrodes are firmly supported by a limited number of posts or supports and a high degree of inter-electrode shielding is effectively attained.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a few embodiments of the invention and in which: 7
FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-section of a multi-electrode electron tube embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the ceramic stem employed in the embodiment;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section taken along the line AA' in FIG. 2;
FIGS. 4 and 5 are a cross-sectional and a plan view, respectively of the ceramic spacer also employed in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a vertical cross-section of another embodiment of the invention; and
FIGS. 7 and 8 are a cross-sectional and a plan view of the ceramic spacer employed in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6.
Referring to the drawing and particularly to FIG. 1, the single-end type ceramic electron tube illustrated includes a heater element 1, a cathode 2, a control grid 3, a screen grid 4, a plate 5, a ceramic spacer 6 formed with an opening for receiving the plate 5, a cathode flange 7, and a control grid flange 8. The ceramic spacer 6 is metallized as indicated at 9 and 10. One of the metallized areas 9 extends over the bottom surface of the spacer 6 along a major portion of its outer periphery while the other metallized area 10 extends over the bottom surface of the spacer along the whole of its inner periphery, as clearly shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The two metallized areas 9 and 10 are spaced apart from each other, as clearly seen in FIG. 5. A ceramic stem 12 is provided which has one or both of the opposite faces recessed as indicated at 20. The recessed area 20 has a configuration as indicated by the hatching in FIG. 2 and is metallized.
Reference numeral 11 indicates a screen grid flange;
' 13 a heater lead; 14 a cathode lead; 15 a cathode support;
16 a control grid lead; 17 a control grid support; and 18 a screen grid lead extending through and in electric contact with the recessed metallized area 20 on the ceramic stem 12. The screen grid lead 18 is connected at the top with the screen grid flange 11, which is soldered to one of the metallized surface areas 9 on the ceramic spacer 6. A plate lead 19 is soldered to the other metallized area 10 on the spacer 6. An enclosure 21 is soldered to the peripheral face of the ceramic stem 12 which is also metallized as indicated at 22.
As described above, in this structure according to the present invention, the plate '5 and screen grid flange 11 are soldered to the respective metallized areas 10 and 9 on the spacer 6 with the screen grid 4 soldered to the flange 11. The screen grid 4 and plate 5 are thus formed integral with each other through the medium of the spacer -6 and can be supported as a unit by the ceramic stem thereby reducing the number of supports required. Also, since as described the screen grid lead 18 is connected to the metallized area 20 on the ceramic stem 12, the metallized area 20 is maintained at the screen potential serving IHS a shield between the control grid lead 16 and the plate lead 19. It will be appreciated from the foregoing that the single-end type multi-electrode electron tube according to the invention is simple in construction, compact and sturdy.
Additionally, it will be understood that the cathode lead 14 in place of the screen grid lead 18 may be connected with the metallized area 20 on the stem to maintain the 'area 20 at the cathode potential for the same shielding purpose.
Referring next to FIG. 6, which illustrates another embodiment of the invention, the electron tube illustrated includes a cathode 2, a control grid 3, a screen grid 4, a suppressor grid 5, a plate 6, an annular ceramic spacer 7 having a central opening through which the control grid 3 extends, and a cathode flange 8. Part of the surface of the ceramic spacer 7 is metallized as indicated at 9 and 10. As clearly shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, one of the metallized areas 9 extends over the peripheral Wall surface of the central opening and a portion of the bottom surface of the spacer while the other metallized area 10 extends over the bottom surface of the spacer along a majority of its outer periphery. The control grid 3 and the screen grid flange 11 are electrically separated from each other, being secured to the metallized areas 9 and 10 on the spacer 7, respectively, by soldering. Reference numeral 12 indicates a plate flange and 13 a ceramic stern having one or both of the opposite faces recessed and metallized in the same manner as with the spacer employed in the first embodiment and shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Reference numeral 14 indicates a heater lea-d; 15 a cathode lead; 16 a cathode support; 17 a control grid lead connected to one of the metallized areas 9 on the spacer 7; 18 a screen grid lead soldered to the other metallized area 10; 19 a plate lead; and 24 a plate support. An enclosure 21 is soldered to the peripheral face of the ceramic stem 12 which is also metallized as indicated at 22.
In this structure, the control and screen grids are formed integral with each other as in the structure of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, providing the same advantageouseifects as those obtained in the latter.
