  • a further object is to provide a tube of the character described in which the electrodes and associated envelope wall members are first stacked in separate subassemblies, these structural units being then stacked and sealed together to complete the envelope.
  • a still further object is to provide a tube structure and assembly technique which is particularly well adapted for the smaller tubes such as those in the receiving tube category.

  • the duo-diode embodying our invention comprises an evacuated envelope of generally cylindrical shape resembling a pill box.
  • duo-diode illustrated is a twin rectifier in the receiving tube category, the actual tube being about one inch in diameter and approximately inch high.
  • the entire tube is made up of ceramic and metal parts which fit together in stacked relationship, the end walls being of metal to provide anodes and the cylindrical side wall comprising ceramic and metal rings sandwiched and brazed together, which metal rings serve assupports for internal electrodes and also as electrode terminals.
  • our stacked tube structure comprises a series of five ceramic rings 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 with four fiat metal rings 6, 7, 8 and 9 sandwiched -therebetween.
  • the ceramic is preferably a highly refractory material such as alumina which is a dense body of good mechanical strength, these ceramic rings being metalized at both ends by a suitable metalizing procedure such as the molybdenum-manganese powder sintering process.
  • the interposed metal rings are quite thin, say about .020
  • brazed joints form strong mechanical bonds and also provide vacuum-tight seals so that the cylindrical side wall of the final tube is a solid impervious cylinder of rugged construction.
  • the envelope structure provides the desired electrical insulation between metal members without sacrifice of ruggedness, it being recalled that an object of our invention is to provide an electron tube of superior reliability under adverse conditions such as shock and vibration.
  • an object of our invention is to provide an electron tube of superior reliability under adverse conditions such as shock and vibration.
  • the ceramic bodies and brazing compositions are all of thermal-resistant materials, thus providing an envelope structure which will operate without failure in high ambient temperatures, such as in aircraft where high ambients are frequently encountered.
  • sandwiched metal rings in the side wall structure provides the desired electrical lead-in conductors through the envel0pe, which rings perform the dual functionof electrode anchoring supports and terminal members.
  • An important structural feature here is that these interposed metal rings are relatively thin compared to the thickness of the adjacent ceramic rings. This mini mizes any mismatch due to difierences in thermal coefiicients of expansion and further enhances the mechanical strength of the layer-like wall structure under conditions of thermal shock over wide ranges of heat cycling.
  • the ceramic rings are of simple rectangular crosssection and all of the same dimensions, so that one size of ceramic body satisfies the entire tube. This is important in the interests of simplicity and economy.
  • End walls 11 of the envelope are of metal, preferably stamped out of copper disks, and also provide the anodes 12 of the tube. These anode walls are dished inwardly so that the two circular anodes are brought together into for insulation purposes.
  • the duo-diode illustrated hasan oxide coated type of cathode, preferably withtwoseparate electron emitting.v
  • Such cathode structure simply comprises two nickel cathode disks 13,
  • each' half ofthe cathode is put together as a: unitary structure; namely, a cathode disk' together with its radial supports and side wall ring areall made upand weldedtogether as one piece (see Figure-5).
  • the reason for the slender rod-like supports for the cathode disks is to minimize heat conduction away fromthe cathode and thus keep the heater watts down.
  • Adequate mechanical support and rigidity are obtained by arranging the inwardly extending, supporting rods 14 in conical formation, the rods of each half of the cathode converging toward the center'of the envelope.
  • Similar rigidity for anodes 12 is achieved by dishing the end walls inwardly along conical surfaces, which surfaces are nested within the conically formed cathode support members 14. Extreme rigidity and compactnessof electrode structure are thus obtained.
  • the cathode heater 16 is a coil of insulated wire, formed as a toroid and interposed between the cathode One end of the heater is connected to side wall ring7 and the other end to ring 8. Thus, the heater connections are made to the inner pair of'side. wall rings, and the cathode connections are made to the outer pair of rings.
  • terminal lugs formed as integral extensions on the metal side wall rings.
  • the terminal lugs are preferably spaced about the circumference of the envelope and are identified by heater terminals H and H cathode terminals K and K and anode terminals P and'P These terminals may be used as soldering lugs for wiring.
  • the tube being described is preferably made up of individual parts or components as illustrated'in the fully exploded view of Figure 5. These components are then stacked together into three subassemblies, including a cathode-heater assembly unit and two anode assembly units.-- These three subassemblies are shown inthe partially exploded view of Figure 6. There are twov simple operations involved in making up each subassembly; first, a stacking operation, and, second, a brazing operation. Since the individual components are self-jigging concentrically and vertically, it is seen that skilled operators are not required and that the stacking is well suited to automatic machine assembly. The brazing operation is like.-
  • brazing material is preferably in the nature of thin flat rings, say .005 inch thick, first spot welded to opposite sides of the copper rings so that the brazing material is automatically incorporated when the tube parts are stacked together. Large numbers of such subassemblies can be loaded into a single furnace and brazed at one time.
  • a brazing alloy such as copper-gold isv preferablyused in makingup the subassemblies.
  • the cathode and anode assembly units may then be brazed together and the tube evacuated through an exhaust tubulation (not shown) in the usual manner.
  • the final step involves bringing thepartstogether and. making the final brazes while the.
  • Brazing material. used at the final brazes is an alloy such as copper-silver having a lower melting point than that used for brazing up the subassemblies.
  • FIGs 7 to 11 illustrate our improvements incorporated in a duo-triode.
  • This tube. is similar in structure to the duo-diode first described, and like numerals are used to designate duplicateparts, the duo-triode differing onlyby the addition of two grid structures and an additional pair of ceramic rings in the side wall.
  • Thecathode heater subassembly seen in Figure 11 isidenticalwith that of the first tube.
  • the two end'units, which in this case comprise grid-anode subassemblies, includethegrids 17 which are mounted onconical supports 18 extending inwardly from metal side wall rings 19 and 21.
  • the added pair of ceramic rings 22 and 23 serve to insulate the grids from the cathode.
  • Conical grid supports 18 are preferably stamped out as an integral "partof the side wall rings and are seated in-nested relationship-to thee anode walls.
  • the grid components are also initially made up as.unita1'y structures. viz.', the grid disks -17 are first weldedin place so that a grid disk together with its support 18 andassociated side wall ring comprises a single structure-(seetoprevent oil-canning and to provide additional rigidity.
  • cathode disks 13, grid disks 17, and anode disks 12 are all slightly domed, convex outwardly, relative to the center plane of the tube.
