Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of X-ray tube aging, and specifically to an X-ray tube aging device. Background Technology

[0002] X-ray tube aging equipment is a key piece of equipment used in the production process of vacuum electronic devices such as X-ray tubes and neutron tubes. Its core function is to improve the stability, high pressure resistance and service life of X-ray tubes through specific processes.

[0003] Currently, high-voltage components of aging equipment, such as high-voltage transformers and electrodes, are encapsulated in sealed gas chambers made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The chambers are filled with sulfur hexafluoride gas and maintained at a working pressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa. The high-voltage insulation effect is achieved by filling the sealed gas chambers with sulfur hexafluoride gas.

[0004] However, before filling the sealed chamber with sulfur hexafluoride gas, the air in the sealed chamber needs to be extracted to create a vacuum before the sulfur hexafluoride gas is filled in. This process takes 2-3 hours, which greatly reduces the assembly efficiency of the X-ray tube aging device. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a calcination device for X-ray tubes, which aims to solve the problem that currently, it takes 2-3 hours to draw a vacuum before filling the sealed gas chamber with sulfur hexafluoride gas, which greatly reduces the assembly efficiency of the calcination device for X-ray tubes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ray tube aging device, comprising a ray tube, an insulating component at one end of the ray tube, and a locking component for fixing the ray tube and the insulating component.

[0007] An insulating assembly includes a first insulating member and a second insulating member sleeved on the ray tube, wherein the second insulating member is disposed between the first insulating member and the ray tube;

[0008] The locking assembly has two ends abutting against the ray tube and the first insulating member, respectively. The locking assembly presses the first insulating member against the second insulating member and presses the second insulating member against the ray tube.

[0009] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the locking assembly includes a first pressing plate pressed against the first insulating member, a second pressing plate disposed on the ray tube, and a plurality of connecting members connecting the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate.

[0010] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the diameters of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are equal.

[0011] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, a plurality of the connecting members are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate, pressing the insulating component and the ray tube between the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate.

[0012] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the X-ray tube includes a high-voltage end located at its center and a grounding end located on the circumferential surface of the X-ray tube, wherein the first insulating member and the second insulating member are both located between the high-voltage end and the grounding end of the X-ray tube.

[0013] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, one end of the first insulating member passes through the grounding terminal of the ray tube and presses against the second insulating member.

[0014] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, an anode cylinder is also sleeved outside the ray tube, with one end of the anode cylinder abutting against the second clamping plate and the other end abutting against the grounding end of the ray tube.

[0015] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the end of the ray tube away from the first insulating member is further provided with a ring ceramic member, and the second insulating member is provided on the ring ceramic member.

[0016] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the end of the first insulating member away from the ray tube is provided with a tapered socket hole for connecting the ray tube.

[0017] In summary, the X-ray tube aging apparatus proposed in this utility model utilizes a first insulating component mounted on a second insulating component, which in turn is mounted on a ceramic ring. By using a connector to lock the first and second clamping plates, the first clamping plate presses against the first insulating component, causing one end of the first insulating component to pass through the X-ray tube grounding terminal while simultaneously pressing against the second insulating component. The supporting force provided by the second clamping plate supplies the ceramic ring to support the second insulating component, thereby pressing the first insulating component firmly against the second insulating component. Physical pressure is used to expel air from between the second insulating component, the first insulating component, and the ceramic ring, achieving an ideal insulation effect. This utility model replaces the traditional method of vacuuming and filling with sulfur hexafluoride gas, improving the assembly efficiency of the X-ray tube aging apparatus and increasing production capacity.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of 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. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-2The diagram shows a schematic of a aging device for X-ray tubes according to an embodiment of the present invention. The aging device includes an X-ray tube 100, an insulating component 200 at one end of the X-ray tube 100, and a locking component 300 for fixing the X-ray tube 100 and the insulating component 200.

[0027] In this embodiment, the X-ray tube 100 includes a high-voltage end 110 located at its center and a grounding end 120 located on the circumferential surface of the X-ray tube 100. A ring-shaped ceramic component 140 is also sleeved on the high-voltage end 110, and an anode cylinder 130 is provided outside the ring-shaped ceramic component 140. The ring-shaped ceramic component 140 is fixed to the high-voltage end 110, and the grounding end 120 is fixed on its circumferential surface. Furthermore, the diameter of the ring-shaped grounding end 120 is equal to that of the anode cylinder 130, so that the grounding end 120 abuts against the anode cylinder 130.

[0028] To replace the traditional method of filling with sulfur hexafluoride gas for insulation, this application uses an insulating component 200 and a locking component 300 in conjunction to expel air using physical pressure, thereby achieving the insulation function. The insulating component 200 includes a first insulating member 210 and a second insulating member 220 sleeved on the ray tube 100. The second insulating member 220 is disposed between the first insulating member 210 and the annular ceramic member 140. The end of the first insulating member 210 near the second insulating member 220 passes through the ray tube grounding terminal 120 and presses the second insulating member 220 against it.

[0029] Furthermore, the first insulating member 210 is provided with a cylindrical groove 212 for receiving the high-voltage end 110 of the X-ray tube, and a conical groove 211 communicating with the cylindrical groove 212. The conical groove 211 is used for inserting a cable socket and connecting to the high-voltage end 110 of the X-ray tube.

[0030] Furthermore, to press the first insulating member 210 and the second insulating member 220 together, the locking assembly 300 includes a first pressing piece 310 pressed against the first insulating member 210, a second pressing piece 320 disposed on the high-voltage end 110 of the X-ray tube, and a plurality of connecting pieces 330 connecting the first pressing piece 310 and the second pressing piece 320. The diameters of the first pressing piece 310 and the second pressing piece 320 are equal. It is worth noting that a through hole is provided between the first pressing piece 310 and the second pressing piece 320. The through hole of the first pressing piece 310 is used to fit onto the X-ray tube 100, and the through hole of the second pressing piece 320 is used to be embedded into the end face of the first insulating member 210.

[0031] Additionally, several of the connecting pieces 330 are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the first clamping piece 310 and the second clamping piece 320, pressing the insulating assembly 200 and the ray tube 100 between the first clamping piece 310 and the second clamping piece 320.

[0032] When the first clamping plate 310 and the second clamping plate 320 are locked using the connector 330 and the nut, the first insulating member 210 is pressed against the second insulating member 220, and the second insulating member 220 is pressed against the ring ceramic member 140. The ring ceramic member 140 abuts against the second clamping plate 320 through the ray tube grounding terminal 120. Therefore, the second clamping plate 320 provides an upward supporting force. Through the interaction of the clamping force and the supporting force, the air between the second insulating member 220 and the first insulating member 210 and the air between the second insulating member 220 and the ring ceramic member 140 are discharged, thereby achieving the insulation effect.

[0033] In summary, the X-ray tube aging apparatus proposed in this utility model utilizes a first insulating component mounted on a second insulating component, which in turn is mounted on a ceramic ring. By using a connector to lock the first and second clamping plates, the first clamping plate presses against the first insulating component, causing one end of the first insulating component to pass through the X-ray tube grounding terminal while simultaneously pressing against the second insulating component. The supporting force provided by the second clamping plate supplies the ceramic ring to support the second insulating component, thereby pressing the first insulating component firmly against the second insulating component. Physical pressure is used to expel air from between the second insulating component, the first insulating component, and the ceramic ring, achieving an ideal insulation effect. This utility model replaces the traditional method of vacuuming and filling with sulfur hexafluoride gas, improving the assembly efficiency of the X-ray tube aging apparatus and increasing production capacity.
