Description
A. BOUWER$ K-RAY TUBE Jan. 10 1933.
Filed April 25. 192'? Patented Jan. 10, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ALBERT BOUWERS, OF EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS, ASSIGNOR TO N. V. PHILIPS GIDEILAMPENFABRIEKEN, OI EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS, A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY OF THE NETHERLANDS X-BAY TUBE Application filed April 25, 1927, Serial No. 186,522, and in the Netherlands January 18, 1927.
The invention relates to X-ray tubes. lit is known that during the operation of an X-ray tube the anticathode becomes burnt in or is otherwise uniavorably affected when 5 the load of the focal spot exceeds a definite value.
Theoretically it can also be proved that with a determined anticathode material a given amount of energy must cause per unit of time a determined rise oi. temperature. A greater allowable load is obtained by constituting the anticathode of good heatconducting metal having a high melting point. Fundamentally, however, better results are obtained by mounting the anticathode so as to be movable.
For preventing the anticathode from becoming burnt in, it has been proposed to rotate the X-ray tube during its operation. In order to do this, the tube is enclosed at one of its ends in a clamping device mounted in an eccentric balhbearing, the other end of the tube being connected by a universal joint to a fixed point of support. When driven, the tube performs a certain conical oscillatingmovement and consequently the anticathode performs a circular movement in its plane. During operation, the cathode rays are concentrated by means of a set of magnets on the desired focal point. Such an installation is very complicated and the X-ray tube used therein has a short life.
According to the invention, it is possible to make use of a rotatable anticathode in such a manner that an X-ray tube suitable for practical use is produced, a result which has not been obtained hitherto. According to the invention, the anticathode of an X-ray tube having an outer wall which is partly of metal, is constructed so as to constitute the armature of an electric motor. According to a articular embodiment of the invention, t e anticathode is constructed as a rotor of an induction motor the stator of 5 which is located outside the tube, the Shell of the said motor being conductively connected to the metal wall portion of the tube, which portion is grounded.
According to the invention, the cathode can be eccentrically arranged in the tube. It is quite possible, however, to accomplish the same purpose by eccentrically disposing only the aperture of the focusing device, through which the cathode rays must pass.
The invention will be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawing which diagrammatically represents one form of an X-ray tube according to the invention.
The glass portion of an X-ray tube is indicated at 1: 2 is a metal intermediate piece which preferably consists of chrome-iron be cause this alloy is not porous and can readily be sealed to glass.
The intermediate metal piece 2 is provided with a window 12 through which the active X-rays can emerge from the tube. 3 represents that portion of an anticathode which serves to intercept the cathode-rays and which is preferably made of tungsten. This tungsten portion is secured to a cylinder which terminates in a conical end surface the outer surface of which preferably consists of copper while the inner surface consists of a metal having a great permeability and which cylinder rests on ball-bearings 6 which permit the anticathode to rotate around a shaft 5 which may be hollow for the purpose of cooling. The anticathode constitutes the rotor of an induction motor, the stator of which consists of a magnet system 9 and a stator winding 11. In this mode of execution the shell 10 of the motor is connected to the metal intermediate piece 2 which is grounded. The anticathode preferably consists of a copper cylinder 8, which surrounds an inner cylinder 7 made of a metal having a great permeability, for instance of iron. An incandescent cathode 4 is directly connected at one of its ends to a is continually shifted with respect to the surface of the anticathode.
