Abstract: An X-ray generator includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray tube accommodation portion, and a power source unit having an internal substrate supplying a voltage to the X-ray tube sealed inside an insulating block. A first space is defined by an upper surface of the insulating block and an inner surface of the X-ray tube accommodation portion. A second space is defined by a recess portion opening to the outside formed on a side surface of the insulating block and a sealing member sealing an opening of the recess portion. A communication hole causing the first space and the second space to communicate with each other is provided in the insulating block. Insulating oil is enclosed in the first space and the second space. A depth of the recess portion is smaller than a width of the recess portion.

Abstract: An X-ray tube includes a housing, an electron gun that emits an electron beam inside the housing, a target that generates an X-ray upon an incidence of the electron beam inside the housing, and a window member that seals an opening of the housing and that transmits the X-ray. The window member is formed in a plate shape from a single crystal diamond. A [100] direction of the single crystal diamond is in an intersection relationship with a thickness direction of the window member at an angle of less than 45 degrees.

Abstract: An X-ray generation device includes an X-ray tube, and an electron beam adjustment part. The X-ray tube includes a housing, an electron gun, a target, and a window member. When a first defect exists in the target, the electron beam adjustment part adjusts an electron beam such that the first defect is not included in an irradiation region of the electron beam on the target, and when a second defect exists in the window member, the electron beam adjustment part adjusts the electron beam such that the second defect is not included in a projection region of the electron beam on the window member.

Abstract: An X-ray generator includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray tube accommodation portion, and a power source unit having an internal substrate supplying a voltage to the X-ray tube sealed inside an insulating block. Insulating oil is enclosed in a space defined by an upper surface of the insulating block and an inner surface of the X-ray tube accommodation portion. A high-voltage power supply unit connected to a target support portion is disposed on the upper surface. At least one protrusion portion protruding to an insulating valve side beyond a boundary portion where the high-voltage power supply unit, the upper surface, and the insulating oil meet and surrounding the high-voltage power supply unit is provided on the upper surface. An apex portion of the protrusion portion is separated from an imaginary plane including an end portion of the insulating valve and extending in a direction orthogonal to a tube axis.

Abstract: An X-ray tube includes a vacuum housing, an electron gun, and an anode that includes a target emitting X-rays and a target supporting portion supporting the target. The target supporting portion has an anode main body portion and a protrusion portion including a side surface portion. The anode main body portion includes an outer circumferential surface extending in a direction of a tube axis, and a connection portion formed between the side surface portion of the protrusion portion and the outer circumferential surface. An angle formed by the outer circumferential surface and the connection portion is an obtuse angle.

Abstract: An X-ray generator includes an X-ray tube, a blower fan having a motor and configured to provide the X-ray tube with air, a motor control unit configured to control a rotation speed of the motor, and a casing to which the X-ray tube and the blower fan are attached. The motor control unit shifts the rotation speed of the motor from a resonance frequency of a structure including the X-ray tube and the casing. According to this configuration, a resonance phenomenon caused by vibration generated by the motor is avoided. Therefore, influences of vibration on the X-ray tube are reduced. As a result, the X-ray generator can be operated in a highly stable manner.
