Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a quantitative analysis system and method for cathode poisoning gas, particularly capable of quantitatively analyzing the amount of gas that poisons the cathode and activating a cathode that has been poisoned by the gas. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum electronic devices are widely used in military and civilian fields such as radar, communications, nuclear fusion, and medicine. The cathode is the core component of a vacuum electronic device, emitting an electron beam. The energy of this electron beam can be converted into microwave energy. Therefore, the cathode is a crucial component in vacuum electronic devices, and its performance determines the device's reliability, lifespan, and other technical specifications. Cathode lifespan is positively correlated with the vacuum level inside the device. However, under the same vacuum conditions, cathode lifespan is related to the gas composition inside the tube. Water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are common gases that can easily poison the cathode.

[0003] If the concentration of gases such as water vapor, oxygen, or carbon dioxide near the cathode exceeds a certain level, it will lead to a decrease in electron emission density, a condition known as cathode poisoning. Different cathodes have different resistance to poisoning. Cathode poisoning is caused by a layer of gas adsorbed on the cathode's emitting surface. The adsorbed gas forms charged dipoles on the cathode surface, which increases the work function and thus causes a decrease in emission.

[0004] Many factors influence cathode poisoning, including the material properties of the cathode, the structure of the cathode assembly, the quality of the vacuum level, and the concentration of poisoning gases. The lack of effective quantitative indicators for the poisoning gases in cathode assemblies poses significant challenges to cathode manufacturing and its use in vacuum electronic devices.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors developed a test system for measuring cathode poisoning activation through experiments. This system can quantitatively analyze gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, etc.) that cause cathode poisoning and identify the threshold values ​​for different gases that induce cathode poisoning. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a quantitative analysis system and method for cathode poisoning gases, and verifies the poisoning characteristics of different cathodes (barium-tungsten cathode, lanthanum hexaboride cathode, and tungsten carbide cathode) to gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor through experimental testing. The verification shows that cathode poisoning is caused by damage from positive ion impacts, increased gas pressure leading to a decrease in vacuum, and the formation of a gas layer adsorbed on the emission surface. This provides designers with a quantitative analytical basis for selecting cathodes suitable for use in poisoning environments.

[0015] Furthermore, the vacuum main pipeline is connected in parallel with a first type of cathode poisoning test tube, a second type of cathode poisoning test tube, and a third type of cathode poisoning test tube.

[0016] Furthermore, the first type of cathode poisoning test tube, the second type of cathode poisoning test tube, and the third type of cathode poisoning test tube, when measuring the volt-ampere characteristics of different cathode electron emission currents under the same poisoning gas environment, have the ability to resist poisoning.

[0017] Furthermore, a metal sealing ring is provided at the connection between the stainless steel flange core and the tube shell; preferably, the thickness of the metal sealing ring is variable to control the distance between the cathode and the water-cooled anode.

[0025] Furthermore, the method of using the analysis system includes: when all valves on the analysis system are opened, evacuating the main vacuum pipeline, the cathode poisoning test tube, and the poisoning gas source branch, recording the vacuum level, connecting the adjustable filament power supply and the adjustable power supply, the cathode begins to decompose and activate, and the volt-ampere characteristics of the cathode thermionic emission are measured; injecting cathode poisoning gas, recording the vacuum level, and measuring the volt-ampere characteristics of the thermionic emission after cathode poisoning; opening the seventh and eighth built-in double-switch permanent magnet valves to evacuate the vacuum, recording the instantaneous vacuum measurement value, for the activation of the cathode after poisoning, and measuring the volt-ampere characteristics of the activated thermionic emission after cathode poisoning.

[0026] A method for quantitative analysis of cathode poisoning gas, using the system described above, the method comprising the following steps:

[0027] I. Measure the volt-ampere characteristics of thermionic emission of the first type of cathode poisoning test tube, the second type of cathode poisoning test tube, and the third type of cathode poisoning test tube under normal vacuum conditions;

[0028] 2. Introducing oxygen: Close the first built-in dual-switch leak-hole permanent magnet valve, close the third built-in dual-switch leak-hole permanent magnet valve, close the fourth built-in dual-switch permanent magnet valve, close the fifth built-in dual-switch leak-hole permanent magnet valve, and close the sixth built-in dual-switch permanent magnet valve.

[0029] 1) Open the second built-in dual-switch permanent magnet valve.

[0030] 2) Observe the decrease in vacuum level of the vacuum gauge and the change in the volt-ampere characteristic of thermionic emission.

[0031] 3) The amount of poisonous gas, the amount of oxygen entering the first cathode poisoning test tube through the leak, and the value displayed by the vacuum gauge are all determined.

[0032] 4) Close the second built-in dual-switch permanent magnet valve and record the oxygen vacuum measurement value.

[0033] 5) Measure the volt-ampere characteristics of thermionic emission from the first, second, and third cathode poisoning test tubes after oxygen poisoning.

[0034] 6) Activation: Under the condition that the cathode is restored to normal vacuum: record the vacuum level, and after the cathode measurement power supply is turned on, the cathode begins its second decomposition, activation, and measurement of the volt-ampere characteristics of the cathode thermionic emission;

[0035] 2. Using the same method, introduce carbon dioxide gas, introduce water vapor, and measure the volt-ampere characteristics of the cathode thermionic emission.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0037] The cathodic poisoning gas supply branch is equipped with a first leak hole with a built-in double-switch permanent magnet valve assembly, a third leak hole with a double-switch permanent magnet valve assembly, and a fifth leak hole with a double-switch permanent magnet valve assembly. The inlets of these three assemblies are respectively connected to the cathodic poisoning oxygen source, carbon dioxide source, water vapor source, and cathodic poisoning gas source. The gas flows into the main pipe through the respective leak holes and is connected in parallel to the first type of cathodic poisoning test tube, the second type of cathodic poisoning test tube, and the third type of cathodic poisoning test tube.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0039] Actual measurements of the first, second, and third cathodes, under the same toxic gas environment, showed that the cathodes' electron emission current characteristics were resistant to poisoning.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0041] The cathode poisoning test tube has a flange on the cathode core and a flange on the anode. The sealing port of the cathode and anode separation joint is equipped with a metal sealing ring, screws and nuts, and can be disassembled and replaced with various new cathodes, which is very convenient.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0043] The thickness of the metal sealing ring is variable, controlling the distance between the cathode and the anode.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0045] The first to eighth built-in dual-switch perforated permanent magnet valves are 100% unaffected by air in the closed-loop system, where the permanent magnet attracts the soft iron sealing ball from the outside of the valve body when the valve is open, and from the outside of the valve body to the inside of the valve body when the valve is closed.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0048] The built-in double-switch permanent magnet valve in the leak hole is fully open, starting the vacuum pump and high-vacuum molecular pump to evacuate all pipelines affected by cathode poisoning.

[0049] In this invention, a leak hole is provided so that the leak hole meets a preset detection standard.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0051] The cathode poisoning system includes a starting vacuum pump, a molecular pump for obtaining high vacuum, and the outlet of this pump is sequentially connected to an eighth built-in double-switch permanent magnet valve and a seventh built-in double-switch permanent magnet valve. When all valves on the system are opened, the main pipe, cathode poisoning test tube, and poisoning gas source branch are evacuated, and the vacuum level is recorded. After the cathode measurement power supply is turned on, the cathode begins to decompose and activate, and the volt-ampere characteristics of the thermionic emission are measured. Cathode poisoning gas is injected, the vacuum level is recorded, and the volt-ampere characteristics of the thermionic emission after cathode poisoning are measured. The vacuum level is recorded.

[0052] Cathode poisoning is a common phenomenon in vacuum electronic devices. A poisoned cathode suffers a severe decline in emission capability, lifespan, and reliability, sometimes to the point of irreversibility. Currently, there are no effective methods or means for quantitative analysis of the gas causing cathode poisoning. This invention designs a vacuum pipeline that uses a built-in dual-switch leak-hole permanent magnet valve to gradually introduce a quantitative amount of cathode poisoning gas into the pipeline. A vacuum gauge is used to obtain the gas pressure within the pipeline. A quantitative analysis power supply system for poisoning gas is then used to accurately measure the amount of gas causing cathode poisoning. Attached Figure Description
