- LaB6 cone field emission array in the X-ray tube is operated under vacuum, an absolute vacuum cannot be achieved in the X-ray tube and a small amount of air molecules are still present. After being ionized by the high-energy electron beam, these air molecules will accelerate toward the cathode under the strong electric field in the tube, and may bombard the cathode, thereby causing radiation damage of the cathode. Because LaB6 nanomaterials have strong resistance to ion bombardment and high chemical stability, X-ray tubes based on LaB6 nanomaterial field emission have longer working life and stable and reliable performance compared with other X-ray tubes.

Due to the protection of the grid, most of the air ions cannot directly hit the cathode, thereby reducing the radiation damage of the cathode. Probability; In addition, through the voltage control applied to the gate, the on or off control of the cone emission can also be realized, and the pulse emission of the electron beam can be easily realized, and the response speed is fast and the service life is long. When working with pulse exposure imaging mode, the number of projection angles and radiation dose of the sample can be significantly reduced, and the rotation artifact can be effectively suppressed, thereby better meeting the practical application requirements such as medical detection.

The advantage of this solution is to effectively reduce the weight and volume of the X-ray source and to reduce the difficulty in manufacturing and using the X-ray tube.
- tungsten has a high melting point but poor thermal conductivity; copper has good thermal conductivity but low melting point. Although graphite has higher melting point and specific heat than tungsten and copper, its atomic number is low and X-ray generation efficiency is low. Therefore, copper can be used as the anode body to take advantage of its good thermal conductivity, and a tungsten alloy sheet is used as a target surface to utilize its high melting point performance. Due to the inconsistent properties of copper and tungsten, the thickness of the tungsten alloy sheet is a key parameter for anode design.

- the temperature distribution on the anode can be calculated by changing the thickness and current intensity of the tungsten alloy sheet.
- the electron beam is struck on the surface of tungsten with a focal diameter of 01 mm.
- the average depth of electrons entering the surface of tungsten is 5 ⁇ m.
- the electrons generate heat within this tiny volume.
- One is a simplified method of applying a load, applying a load to the surface, that is, at the center of tungsten. - -
- a thermal load is applied to the surface of 01, and the amount of heat flow applied to the surface can be calculated according to the voltage and current; the other method is to apply a load to the actual situation, and apply a thermal load to the body, that is, a cylinder of 01x0.005 mm. on.
- the heat transfer rate is proportional to the area.
- 100 is the radiation force, the unit is W/m 2 ; s is the emissivity of the object; c is the black body emissivity, 5.67W / (m 2 'K 4 ); - -
- ⁇ is the surface temperature of the object.
- the following is a simulation result that ignores the radiation heat dissipation and the conduction heat dissipation of the insulating oil.
- the maximum time for completing a CT scan is 30s, so the X-ray tube must be able to work continuously for 30s during scanning.
- the optimal tungsten alloy sheet thickness and the maximum constant current that can be tolerated are calculated. value. It can be seen from Fig. 6 that in the case of continuous incident electrons, when the thickness of the tungsten alloy sheet is 400 to 500 ⁇ m, the maximum withstand current is 7.5 mA. On the left side of the highest point of the curve in the figure, the copper will melt first, and on the right, the tungsten alloy sheet will melt first. For the pulse mode of operation, the maximum pulse current that a tungsten alloy sheet of the same thickness can withstand at different duty cycles increases as the duty cycle decreases.
- the embodiment of the present invention will select a tungsten alloy target surface having a thickness of 400-500 um, for example, preferably 0.5 mm, as a preferred thickness value of the tungsten alloy sheet.
- the anode 10 of the X-ray tube includes an anode body 101 and a target surface 102.
- the target surface 102 is formed with a predetermined target plane tilt angle ⁇ with respect to the reference direction, and the reference direction is perpendicular to the electron incident direction, as shown in FIG.
- the target tilt angle ⁇ is a key parameter that directly affects the light yield, effective focus size, heat distribution and transfer of the X-ray tube.
- Monte Carlo method can be used to simulate the calculation.
- EGS software was used to simulate lxlO 7 140keV electrons bombarding tungsten targets with different dip angles, and the spatial distribution of light yield and photons was counted.
- the relationship between the target tilt angle and the photon yield is shown in Fig. 8.
- the smaller the target tilt angle the higher the X-photon yield.
- - - the smaller the target angle, the better, which requires careful analysis.
- the X-ray photons in the fan beam which are approximately perpendicular to the incident direction of the electron beam are used.
- This part of the X-ray photo is actually contributing to the CT mission (as shown in Fig. 9), so this angle range The more X-rays inside, the better.
- the figure below shows the photon areal density at an angle different from the target surface at a target angle of 5 degrees.
- the areal density of photons becomes smaller and smaller, and the number of X-photons that can be used for imaging becomes less and less. Therefore, although the total photon yield at a target angle of 5 degrees is high, the photon surface density at an angle of 85 degrees from the target surface is low.
- the number of X-photons in the exit plane perpendicular to the incident direction of the electron beam at different target inclination angles is counted.
- the statistical results are shown in Fig. 11. As can be seen from Fig. 11, as the target tilt angle increases, the number of photons on the exit surface increases, but reaches a maximum at about 45 degrees and then begins to decrease.
- the resolution of the tomographic image is the effective focus of the X-ray tube, not the actual focus.
- the relationship between the actual focus size L and the projected effective focus size d is as follows:
- the size d of the effective focus can be controlled by reducing the target tilt angle ⁇ . If the density of the cross-sectional area of the incident electron beam cannot be increased, it can be seen from the following equation that increasing the electron beam width h by decreasing the target tilt angle ⁇ may increase the total number of imageable X-photons.
- the target tilt angle is preferably 11 degrees.
- the total length of the X-ray tube in the above embodiment is less than or equal to 120 mm, so as to fully ensure the compact shape of the X-ray tube, which can be easily carried, and is convenient for special environments such as shipboard, vehicle, and battlefield hospitals.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un tube à rayons X basé sur l'émission de champ de nanomatériau LaB6 et un tomodensitomètre mobile. Le tube à rayons X comprend une anode (1) et une cathode (2). La cathode (2) comprend une matrice d'émission de champ conique aigu au LaB6, et des électrons générés par l'émission de champ de la cathode (2) sous l'effet d'un champ électrique externe bombardent l'anode (1) pour générer un rayon X. Une grille (3) peut aussi être disposée entre l'anode (1) et la cathode (2). Le tube à rayons X améliore l'intensité d'un courant de faisceau d'électrons, génère un rayon X stable et fiable, et a une grande longévité ; et le tube à rayons X aide à améliorer la définition et la résolution d'imagerie à rayons X et à réduire la dose de rayonnement vers un objet détecté, facilite la miniaturisation du tube à rayons X et peut répondre aux besoins de miniaturisation relatifs à la conception de dispositifs portatifs, par exemple un tomodensitomètre mobile.
