Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] This Maoming is related to a kind of cold cathode tube electrode and its manufacturing method, especially the η㈣ electrode system uses powder metallurgy and injection molding technology. Structure. [Prior technology] Because of the advantages of the thin lamp tube, "low lamp temperature, lamp surface Γ", "use * life ...", the ancient cold cathode f has been widely used in computer scanning, fax machines, LCD labor, etc. Screen backlight module, or advertising light box. The principle of light conversion is the extremely high voltage of the Xiang tube, which can collide with the mercury material. The silver atoms are excited to emit ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light excites the fluorescent powder coated on the soil and generates visible light. In order to improve the life of the cold cathode tube electrode and the start-up characteristics of the lamp, the picture is a cross-sectional view of a cold cathode tube of the first uranium technology. The electrode has an electrode guide wire 92 that is fixed to the cup-shaped discharge by welding. 9 4. The samarium electrode guide wire 9 2 usually includes two sections. The first section 9 2 2 is connected to the discharge section 9 4 and the second section 9 2 4 is connected to the first section 9 2 2 to the electric wire. The first section is a low expansion coefficient (CTE) alloy. For the purpose of combining ^ and glass =, Kovar alloy (nickel-iron-cobalt alloy) is currently used. In the second section, Invar alloy (nickel-iron alloy) is used. The cup-shaped discharge portion 94 is usually made of a key alloy flat plate by stamping. The disadvantages are: 1. The electrode guide wire 92 has a small diameter (approximately 0.4 mm) and is not easily dissolved in the cup-shaped discharge portion 94, which is not only troublesome to manufacture but also easily broken. 1245306 Please read the second picture, which is the private picture of the method for manufacturing the cold cathode tube electrode according to the present invention. The core technology of the cold-cathode tube electrode manufacturing method is to use powder bundles of two metals, including at least four steps: a mixing step 10, a molding step 2 0 / 〇 heat treatment step 30, and a stamping step 40. The mixing step 10 is to mix a metal powder and a binder to form a mixture; the metal powder is preferably a high melting point metal, and usually a metal of 2,000 ° C or more. The metal powder may be tungsten (W), indium (M0), Koji molybdenum alloy, or Kovar alloy (preferably pre-alloyed powder), because bird powder; Among them, it is preferable to use 锢 gold ΐ to make money. ^ It's higher 'needs a larger heating temperature, and the increase = Where = metal powder as long as it can be used as an electrode material ^ Unlimited. Γίί The finer the finer, the following f paste, but with voids, Make the M j powder more detailed than the A surface with less phase-less plus tighter packing 'is easier to sinter and combine, which can reduce the burning time / required time. The size of the metal powder particles not only affects the progress, but also affects its performance, because the finer the powder, the larger the specific surface area, and the larger it is for the very important role of bonding. The coupling agent is mainly a mixture (for example, it is a polymer adhesive, or an organic adhesive, such as a thermoplastic resin or wax). Mixing; Γ, =: 10 can further use the-machine to condense the shape of the raw materials / powder-free non-caking agent heating and kneading to make a mixture as a forming process in the ° Hai molding step 20, the present invention mainly uses injection molding 1245306 = Ming / Ming mainly uses metal powder injection molding technology. Because the technology has not been invented, the shape of the cold cathode electrode can be changed more easily to handle the area of its discharge. Please refer to the third figure, which is a perspective view of the second embodiment of the second electrode of the cold cathode tube of the present invention. The electrode i of the cold cathode tube includes a portion 12 and a discharge portion 14 ′. The discharge portion 14 is slightly cup-shaped and is formed integrally with the wire portion. Since the wire portion i 2 and the discharge portion 4 are made of a metal 'and have a sintered metal structure, a step of thinning and soldering is not required. The lead portion 12 and the discharge portion i 4 do not generate cracks, and have better structural strength. Please refer to the four figures, which are the second embodiment of the cathode electrode of the present invention. Due to the cold cathode electrode manufacturing method of the present invention, the discharge portion i 4 a can be easily designed to have a plurality of tips 142, 144 protruding from its surface to increase the discharge area of the electrode 1. This embodiment is a preferred embodiment, the tips 丄 4, 144 are protruded from the periphery and the inner wall surface of the discharge portion 143. It may also be designed to have only the tip 142 protruding outward from the periphery of the discharge portion i 4a, or to have only the tip 14 4 protruding inward from the inner wall surface of the discharge portion i 4a. Please refer to the fifth figure, which is a perspective view of the third embodiment of the electrode of the cold cathode tube of the present invention. The diameter of the discharge portion 1 4 b is the same as the diameter of the lead portion 丄 2 b, and thus the discharge portion! 4 b may have a strong structure. Therefore, the features and functions that can be generated by the present invention are organized as follows:-The lead portion of the electrode and the discharge portion are changed by sintering and are not easily broken. -The electrode is made of rhenium material and has the same thermal expansion coefficient. 1245306 will not cause gaps due to rapid temperature changes.厶 b ML. Third, the shape of the discharge section is easy to change to increase the discharge and reduce power consumption. The method can be produced in large quantities and quickly, which can increase the production capacity. = As mentioned, the tree time is in line with the rectification requirements. According to the law, it is only disclosed that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Since the equal changes or modifications have been made, they still belong to the present invention.
