  • a magnetron 1 comprises a cylindrical metal vessel 2 and cup-shaped insulator vessels 3 and 4 made of glass, ceramic or the like sealed to the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical metal vessel 2.
  • a cathode 17 and an anode 19 surrounding the cathode 17 are provided coaxially with the vessel 2, and upper and lower magnetic pole pieces 24 and 25 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the vessel 2, respectively.
  • a cavity resonator 26 in a space adjacent to the anode inside the vessel 2 there is provided a cavity resonator 26.
  • Cathode lead members connected with the cathode are enclosed in the upper insulator vessel 3, and an antennalike electromagnetic wave emitting electrode 5 extending from the cavity resonator 26 is enclosed in the lower insulator vessel 4.
  • a radiator 6 for air cooling the magnetron 1 comprises an appropriate number of good thermally conductive radiating plates 9 piled up with certain intervals therebetween disposed between an intake port 7 and an exhaust port 8.
  • the heat radiating plates 9 are welded to the circumference of 'the metal vessel 2.
  • the radiator 6 effects forced cooling of the magnetron 1 by combination with a blower.
  • a conical or cylindrical permanent magnet 10 preferably made of ferrite has an axial hole 11 within which the whole or a great part of the upper insulator vessel 3 is disposed without touching the magnet 10.
  • the lower end surface of the permanent magnet 10 is in contact with the upper surface of the upper pole piece 24 in the metal vessel 2 directly or through the intermediary of a thin heat insulating packing, whereby one pole of the pennanent magnet 10 is magnetically coupled with the upper pole piece 24.
  • the other pole, Le. the upper surface of the permanent magnet 10 is magnetically coupled with the lower pole piece 25 through a high permeability metal frame members 12 and 13 which serve as magnetic coupling means, the frame member 13 being in contact with the lower surface of the lower pole piece 25 directly or through an interposed thin heat insulating packing.
  • the frame member 13 has a hole 14 through which the lower insulator vessel 4 enclosing therein the electromagnetic wave emitting electrode 5 protrudes downward.
  • the frame member 13 has also an appropriate number of holes 15 for screws for mounting the magnetron device on an electronic range.
  • Leadout parts 16 of the cathode lead members extend outward from the upper insulator vessel 3.
  • the radiator 6 has a second exhaust port 18, and the permanent magnet 10 has a ventilation flue 20 cut through the sidewall thereof.
  • a cooling air current fed from the intake port 7 of the radiator 6 through the exhaust port 18 to the permanent magnet 10 is led to the magnetron 1 through the ventilation flue 20, and goes up in the axial hole 11 along the surface of the heated upper insulator vessel 3 to effectively cool the permanent magnet 10 and the upper insulator vessel 3.
  • the ventilation flue 20 is shown as of slit shape in FIGS. 3 and 4, other shapes of hole or channel may be employed as well. Of course, two or more ventilation flues can be employed. It is not always necessary to supply the cooling air current to the ventilation flue 20 through the radiator 6, but it may be supplied directly from a blower.
  • the former magnet is preferable to the device of this invention for the reason that the ferrite group magnet has a good workability and is excellent in the efficiency of heat absorption and heat radiation because ofits pitch-dark color. Since the permanent magnet 10 surrounds the upper insulator vessel 3 almost along the entire length ofthe vessel 3, the magnet 10, when it is of ferrite, effectively dissipates the heat of the magnetron 1 generated at the time of its operation, and makes the heating of the whole of the upper insulator vessel 3 approximately even to reduce the strain of the vessel 3 resulting from uneven heating. It is desirable to provide a magnetoshielding metal layer on the surface of the wall of the axial hole of the ferrite magnet 10.
  • both poles of the permanent magnet 10 are substantially magnetically short circuited through the frame member 12 with the result that the density of magnetic flux to be supplied to the magnetron l is reduced.
  • An embodiment provided against this short circuiting is shown in FIG. 6.
  • magnets 30 for repulsion are provided on the inner side of the frame member 12 at positions corresponding to the lower pole of the permanent magnet 10 in such a manner that the lower pole of the permanent magnet 10 and the same kind of poles of the magnets 30 are opposed to each other. Consequently, the short circuiting of the permanent magnet 10 by means of the frame member 12 is prevented by the magnetic field originated from the magnets 30. It was found by experiments that while the density of magnetic flux supplied to the metal vessel 2 was about 1,730 gauss when the outer diameter of the metal vessel 2 was 70 mm., the outer diameter and height of the cylindrical permanent magnet 10 were about 80 mm.
  • the interval between the outer wall of the permanent magnet 10 and the inner wall of the frame member 112 was about mm., it was increased to about L880 gauss when two small permanent magnets for repulsive magnetic field generation were employed.
  • Either permanent magnets or electromagnets can be employed as the magnets 30 for the repulsive field generation.
  • a cylindrical permanent magnet 100 surrounds not only all or a great part of the insulator vessel 3, but also the metal vessel 2 and the radiator 6.
  • a window'ltll formed through the sidewall of the permanent magnet I00 fits the intake port 8 of the radiator 6.
  • a yoke 102 in this embodiment is cylindrical and arranged inside the cylindrical permanent magnet 100.
  • a magnetron device comprising a magnetron having a tubular metal vessel including therein a cathode, an anode surrounding said cathode, an upper magnetic pole piece 24, a lower magnetic pole piece, and a cavity resonator, an upwardly projecting upper insulator vessel contiguous to said upper pole piece and enclosing a cathode lead member therein, and a downwardly projecting lower insulator vessel contiguous to said lower pole piece and enclosing therein an antennalike electromagnetic wave emitting electrode extending from said cavity resonator; a permanent magnet having an axial hole the diameter of which is greater than the diameter of said upper insulator vessel; and a frame member magnetically coupling said permanent magnet with said magnetron, wherein said permanent magnet is arranged coaxially with said metal vessel in such a manner that at least a greater part of said upper insulator vessel is disposed in said axial hole of said permanent magnet with an air space therebetween with the lower end surface of said permanent magnet being coupled with the upper
