Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; of course, they can also refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; furthermore, they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example:

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows: Figures 2-6 As shown, a tooling for sealing a traveling wave tube cathode support assembly includes a horizontally positioned base 1, with a transmitter mounting boss 12 connected to the upper surface of the base 1. A positioning sleeve is fitted around the transmitter mounting boss 12. The positioning sleeve and the transmitter mounting boss 12 are coaxially aligned, with a certain gap between them for clearance fit. Furthermore, the inner wall of the positioning sleeve is provided with a positioning step 21 for positioning and installing the cathode support seat and cathode support frame—the vertical surface of the positioning step 21 is in positioning contact with the outer wall surface of the cathode support seat; the horizontal surface of the positioning step 21 is in contact with the lower end surface of the cathode support seat and the lower outer edge surface of the cathode support frame. This design allows the entire lower part of the cathode support assembly to be stably placed on the transmitter mounting boss 12 and the positioning step 21, thereby preventing horizontal swaying and downward displacement.

[0036] In order to further fix each part of the cathode support assembly, the tool further coaxially provides a pressing cap 4 above the positioning sleeve, and a emitter pressing block 7 below the pressing cap 4, which is in abutting contact with the upper end surface of the cathode emitter. In the embodiment, the outer edge of the pressing cap 4 extends downward and is in sleeve joint with the outer wall of the positioning sleeve. The upper surface of the pressing cap 4 is provided with a support base pressing block 5 which passes downward through the pressing cap 4 and is in abutting contact with the upper end surface of the cathode support base. The upper surface of the support base pressing block 5 is provided with a support frame pressing block 6 which passes downward through the support base pressing block 5 and the pressing cap 4 and is in abutting contact with the upper end surface of the cathode support frame. Thus, the emitter pressing block 7 can prevent the cathode emitter from moving upward, the support base pressing block 5 can prevent the cathode support base from moving upward, and the support frame pressing block 6 can prevent the cathode support frame from moving upward.

[0037] Since the tool can position and install the cathode emitter through the emitter mounting boss 12 and the emitter pressing block 7, position and install the cathode support base through the positioning sleeve and the support base pressing block 5, and position and install the cathode support frame through the positioning sleeve and the support frame pressing block 6, the tool can effectively fix each part of the cathode support assembly during brazing, avoid displacement of each part, thereby avoiding deformation, virtual welding, poor positional tolerance precision and the like of the cathode support assembly after brazing, and further stabilizing the performance of the cathode support assembly and meeting the requirements of high precision and high reliability.

[0038] In order to position and install the positioning sleeve on the base 1, the base 1 is fixedly provided with a positioning sleeve mounting boss 11 on the upper surface, and the positioning sleeve is sleeved outside the positioning sleeve mounting boss 11. Correspondingly, the emitter mounting boss 12 is arranged at the upper axial center of the positioning sleeve mounting boss 11. In this way, the position between the positioning sleeve and the emitter mounting boss 12 can be kept relatively fixed, thereby stably arranging the entire lower part of the cathode support assembly, avoiding displacement of each part, and further ensuring the product quality.

[0039] In the embodiment, the positioning sleeve is a graphite sleeve 2, and a molybdenum sleeve 3 is further sleeved outside the graphite sleeve 2. The graphite sleeve 2 and the molybdenum sleeve 3 are used in combination. Since the graphite material itself has low surface energy, the brazing filler metal is difficult to infiltrate the graphite surface and cannot adhere, thereby solving the problem of brazing filler metal sticking to the tool. Meanwhile, the strength is higher than that of using the graphite sleeve 2 alone, thereby making the positioning sleeve more durable. In addition, since the thermal expansion coefficients of graphite and molybdenum are close to those of ceramics, and the main material of the cathode support frame is insulating ceramic, the expansion amount difference is small at high temperature, which can play a role in high-precision positioning.

[0040] In the tool, in order to realize the pressing of the upper end face of the cathode support and the upper end face of the cathode support frame, the shaft of the support pressing block 5 vertically penetrates the installation opening 51, and two arc-shaped pressing blocks a52 are vertically arranged on the lower surface of the support pressing block 5 along the two side edges of the installation opening 51. The lower end of the arc-shaped pressing block a52 penetrates the pressing cap 4 downward and abuts against the upper end face of the cathode support. Meanwhile, the lower surface of the support frame pressing block 6 is provided with a positioning boss 61 which is inserted into the installation opening 51, and two arc-shaped pressing blocks b62 are vertically arranged on the lower end face of the positioning boss 61 along the two inner edges of the installation opening 51, and the lower end of the arc-shaped pressing block b62 penetrates the pressing cap 4 downward and abuts against the upper end face of the cathode support frame.

[0041] In the embodiment, the pressing cap 4 is provided with an arc-shaped notch 41 through which the arc-shaped pressing block a52 and the arc-shaped pressing block b62 penetrate. The arc-shaped notch 41 can guide the insertion path of the arc-shaped pressing block a52 and the arc-shaped pressing block b62, so that the upper end face of the cathode support and the upper end face of the cathode support frame are fixed by being pressed downward. Meanwhile, in order to further ensure the stability of the cathode support and the cathode support frame during brazing, the upper outer wall of the support pressing block 5 and the support frame pressing block 6 is provided with a ring-shaped counterweight part. By utilizing the gravity, the shaking and displacement of the cathode support and the cathode support frame are avoided.

[0042] In addition, in order to realize the positioning and installation of the cathode emitter on the emitter installation boss 12, the tool is provided with an emitter lower positioning hole 121 on the upper surface of the emitter installation boss 12 for positioning and installing the cathode emitter. In the embodiment, in order to avoid the emitter rod of the upper end of the cathode emitter, the pressing cap 4 is provided with an emitter upper positioning hole 42 for positioning and installing the cathode emitter. Meanwhile, the emitter pressing block 7 is vertically provided with a positioning through hole 71.

[0043] The utility model has been described above in combination with the best embodiment, but the utility model is not limited to the above disclosed embodiments, and should cover various modifications, equivalent combinations according to the essence of the utility model.
