Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Drehanode, insbesondere für eine Hochleistungsröntgenröhre, gemäß Patentanspruch 1.The The invention relates to a rotary anode, in particular for a high-performance X-ray tube, according to claim 1.
Bei bekannten Hochleistungsröntgenröhren sind zur Erzeugung einer Röntgenstrahlung Drehanoden vorgesehen, die einen rotationssymmetrischen Anodenteller und ein damit gekoppeltes um eine Drehachse rotierendes Anodenrohr aufweisen. Aufgrund der Rotation bewegt sich ein Brennfleck auf einer kreisförmigen Brennbahn der Drehanode, wodurch eine bessere Verteilung der Wärme im Vergleich zu feststehenden Anoden erzielt wird. Da bei der Erzeugung von Röntgenstrahlung in Röntgenröhren fast die gesamte zugeführte Energie in Verlustwärme umgewandelt wird, ist eine gesonderte Anodenkühlung notwendig; zum Beispiel sind dafür am Anodenteller massive Wärmespeicher angebracht, was aber wiederum ein großes Bauvolumen bedeutet.at are known high-performance x-ray tubes for generating an X-ray radiation Rotary anodes provided, which is a rotationally symmetrical anode plate and an anode tube coupled thereto and rotating about an axis of rotation exhibit. Due to the rotation, a focal spot moves on one circular Focal lane of the rotary anode, allowing a better distribution of heat compared is achieved to fixed anodes. Because in the generation of X-rays in x-ray tubes almost the entire feed Energy in lost heat is converted, a separate anode cooling is necessary; for example are for it on the anode plate massive heat storage attached, which in turn means a large volume of construction.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Drehanoden, insbesondere für Hochleistungsröntgenröhren, mit einfachen Mitteln eine besonders effektive Anodenkühlung zu schaffen.Of the The present invention is based on the object, in rotary anodes, especially for High performance x-ray tubes, with simple means a particularly effective anode cooling create.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Drehanode, insbesondere für eine Hochleistungsröntgenröhre, gemäß Patentanspruch 1; vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind jeweils Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.These The object is achieved by a rotary anode, in particular for a high performance x-ray tube according to claim 1; advantageous embodiments of the invention are each the subject the dependent claims.
Durch die mit einfachen Mitteln erzielbare Ausbildung des Anodentellers als Wärmerohr und die dadurch gegebene sehr hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit innerhalb des hohlen Anodentellers wird eine sehr gute Wärmeabfuhr von dem Bereich der Brennbahn und dadurch eine sehr effektive Kühlung der Drehanode bei gleichzeitigem durch den hohlen Anodenteller möglichem geringem Gesamtgewicht und damit verbesserten Betriebseigenschaften gewährleistet.By the achievable with simple means training of the anode plate as a heat pipe and the resulting very high thermal conductivity within the hollow Anodentellers will have a very good heat dissipation from the range of Firing path and thus a very effective cooling of the rotary anode at the same time through the hollow anode plate possible low total weight and thus improved operating characteristics guaranteed.
In vorteilhafter Weise weist zur Verbesserung des Rückflusses des verdampften und nach der Wärmeabgabe wieder kondensierten Arbeitsfluids zu dem Bereich der Brennbahn der Hohlraum an zumindest einem Teilbereich seiner Innenoberfläche eine Kapillarstruktur auf.In advantageous manner, to improve the reflux of the vaporized and after the heat release again condensed working fluid to the region of the focal path the cavity on at least a portion of its inner surface has a capillary structure on.
Die Kühlwirkung kann dadurch verbessert werden, dass in vorteilhafter Weise eine Wärmeabfuhr innerhalb des Hohlraumes des Anodentellers von dessen Anodenteller-Außenwandung im Bereich der Brennbahn zu dessen Anodentellerboden vorgesehen ist. Um einen besonders effektiven Weitertransport der Wärme zu gewährleisten, ist ein Wärmeübergang von dem Anodentellerboden zu einem anschließenden, mit dem Anodenteller gekoppelten Anodenrohr vorgesehen. Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Anodenrohr in seinem Inneren einen Hohlraum auf und ist als Wärmerohr mit einer Wärmeabfuhr von seinem anodentellerseitigem einen Ende zu seinem im Bezug auf den Anodenteller distalen anderen Ende ausgebildet. Dadurch ist die Wärme schnell von dem Anodenteller wegleitbar.The cooling effect can be improved by advantageously a heat dissipation within the cavity of the anode plate of its anode plate outer wall provided in the region of the focal path to the anode cell bottom is. To ensure a particularly effective onward transport of the heat, is a heat transfer from the anode cell tray to a subsequent, with the anode plate coupled anode tube provided. According to one embodiment of Invention, the anode tube has a cavity in its interior on and is as a heat pipe with a heat dissipation from its anode plate side one end to its in relation to formed the anode plate distal other end. This is the result Heat quickly wegleitbar of the anode plate.
