X-Ray Tube Having An Integral Housing Assembly

US Patent:
6487273, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/989239
Inventors:
Jeff Takenaka - Salt Lake City UT
Scott Coles - Salt Lake City UT
Mark Lange - Salt Lake City UT
Karen Quinn - Salt Lake City UT
Christopher Artig - Summit City UT
Jim Burke - Glenview IL
Brian Carsten - Park City UT

Assignee:
Varian Medical Systems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H01J 3510
US Classification:
378142, 378131, 378199, 378201
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a radiographic apparatus that utilizes a single integral housing for providing an evacuated envelope for an anode and cathode assembly. The integral housing provides sufficient radiation blocking and heat transfer characteristics such that an additional external housing is not required. The integral housing is air cooled, and thus does not utilize any coolant. In addition, the integral housing is insulated with a potting material, which electrically insulates the integral housing and its components, and also limits the amount of noise emitted from the housing during operation. In an alternative embodiment, enhanced thermal and electrically insulating properties are achieved through the use of a potting material disposed in selected areas of the tube interior. The potting material cooperates with optimized airflow through the tube assembly to effectively and continuously remove heat therefrom.

Mounting System For An X-Ray Tube

US Patent:
7290929, Nov 6, 2007
Filed:
Feb 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/774899
Inventors:
Craig Smith - Herriman UT, US
Christopher Artig - Summit Park UT, US
Assignee:
Varian Medical Systems Technologies, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H05G 1/02, H01J 35/16, H01J 35/18
US Classification:
378193, 378121, 378140, 378161
Abstract:
A mounting assembly for supporting an evacuated enclosure within an outer housing of an x-ray tube is disclosed. The mounting assembly comprises a clamp portion having a C-shaped configuration, and a bracket portion having a circular recess that receives at least a portion of the clamp portion therein. The clamp portion includes an aperture that frictionally attaches to a window assembly of the evacuated enclosure. The clamp portion is in turn mechanically attached to the bracket portion such that an aperture in the bracket portion is aligned both with the clamp portion aperture and a window disposed in the window assembly. The bracket portion further includes a concave surface that is shaped to mechanically mate with an exterior portion of the outer housing, thereby securably supporting the evacuated enclosure within the outer housing. The mounting assembly further includes structures for securing the x-ray tube within an x-ray generating device.
