摘要:
A high-capacity x-ray tube particularly for use in medical technology in CT apparatuses, has a vacuum housing containing a cathode and a rotatably mounted anode. The anode plate of the anode is connected by a solder connection to the one end of a load-bearing part, the other end of which is attached to the bearing shaft of a drive for placing the anode in rotation. The mechanical strength of the connection location between the anode plate and the load-bearing part is improved by the connection being formed by a positive fit, designed such that the connection surfaces are subjected substantially only to compression given rotation of the anode.

A fall protection device for an opening in a roof includes at least one rail section having a vertical member. The vertical member is preferably in the form of a metal tube having an open lower end. A bearing foot has a connecting portion and a bearing portion and is secured to the lower end of the vertical member by the connecting portion so that the bearing portion supports the vertical member above the roof. The connecting portion of the bearing foot preferably extends into the open lower end of the tube and resiliently engages an interior surface of the tube to secure the bearing foot thereto. A hardness of the bearing portion is greater than a hardness of the connecting portion. The connecting portion and the bearing portion are preferably plastic and co-molded so that the bearing foot is of unitary construction.

An x-ray tube has a stationary cathode and a rotating anode in a vacuum housing. The anode is positioned on a housing-fixed axle such that it can be rotated, and is fashioned as a hollow body in the interior of which an axle-fixed ring projection is disposed, such that, at least between an inner surface of the rotating anode and the adjacent outer surface of the ring projection, a gap exists that is filled with liquid metal and forms a liquid-metal fluid bearing for the rotating anode.

An anode target (22) is rotatably supported by a rotating mechanism (25) having a rotary body (23) and a stationary body (28). A fitted portion between the rotary body (23) and the stationary body (28) is formed of bearing areas (L1) to (L4) having dynamic pressure type sliding bearings and a non-bearing area (L5) having a clearance between the rotary body (23) and the stationary body (28) larger than that in the bearing areas (L1) to (L4). The rotary body facing the non-bearing area is positioned where a time for heat transfer from the anode target (22) is shorter than the rotary body facing the bearing areas. Thus, the characteristics of heat radiation from the anode target (22) can be improved, and a stable bearing operation can be maintained.

An x-ray tube 10 is provided including an anode mounted to a rotatable shaft positioned within a center bore of a stem element, a bearing assembly positioned between the rotatable shaft and the stem element, and at least one liquid metal shunt in thermal communication with both the rotatable shaft and the stem element, located adjacent to the anode between the anode and the bearing assembly, and directing heat generated at the anode away from the bearing assembly by allowing heat to flow from the rotatable shaft into the stem element prior to heat reaching the bearing assembly.

To reduce the rotational power, an apparatus with a rotational body that is rotationally driven in a fluid-filled housing a rotational directing body is provided between the rotational body and the housing, which is rotatably supported coaxially with respect to the rotational body. The rotational directing body is configured such that in operation it rotates at an intermediate rotational frequency in comparison to the housing and the rotational body. The apparatus is particularly an X-ray radiator having a cathode and anode that are mounted in a vacuum tube in a spatially fixed manner in relation to the tube, the vacuum tube being rotationally driven as a rotational body in a coolant housing.

X-ray source bearing assemblies are described herein. In an exemplary embodiment, an x-ray source includes a target anode, a rotor shaft coupled to the target anode, and a motor coupled to the rotor shaft at an end of the shaft opposite the target anode. The bearing housing, in the exemplary embodiment, includes a rotor bore, the rotor shaft extending through said rotor bore and supported therein by a plurality bearings. The housing and the shaft form a cooling medium pool so that as the shaft rotates, a cooling medium in the pool is radially displaced.

In a rotary anode type X-ray tube apparatus, a rotary anode target model X-ray pipe is received in housing. Housing is coupled by cooler device to supply a coolant in the housing. Anode target is fixed to a rotary cylinder, which is rotatably supported by a stationary shaft. The stationary shaft is provided with an inner hollow space for guiding the coolant. The coolant guided in the housing is split into two flowing streams, and one of the streams is introduced into the space for cooling of stationary shaft.

An X-ray tube comprises a cathode, an anode target assembly and an axial flux motor having a rotor and a stator. The stator is positioned along a transverse axis parallel to the rotor axis. The rotor and the stator are configured to be coupled to the anode target assembly. A cathode generates an electron beam for impingement upon the anode target assembly and a vacuum housing surrounds the anode target assembly, the cathode and the rotor to enable the electron beam impingement.

A rotating anode for an x-ray tube has an anode body composed of composite fiber material, mounted in a bearing system, the anode body having a target surface with a focal ring and including fibers with particularly high heat conductivity in the longitudinal direction. An axis-proximal cooling system is associated with the anode body. The majority of all fibers with high heat conductivity in the longitudinal direction terminate bluntly both at the focal ring and at the cooling system, such that their abutting faces respectively are in direct, heat-conducting contact both with the focal ring and with the cooling system.
