Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one embodiment, an X-ray tube includes a vacuum enclosure in which an output window which transmits X-rays is formed, an anode target provided in the vacuum enclosure so as to oppose the output window, a cathode filament provided in the vacuum enclosure, that emits electrons to be irradiated onto the anode target, a power feed section to which a high voltage cable is connected, and an insulating portion that covers the power feed section and the high-voltage cable with an insulating material, and the power feed section includes a contact surface with which a distal end surface of the high-voltage cable is brought into contact, and an angle formed by the contact surface and the side surface of the high-voltage cable is an acute angle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An X-ray tube, comprising: a vacuum enclosure in which an output window which transmits X-rays is formed; an anode target provided in the vacuum enclosure so as to oppose the output window; a cathode filament, provided in the vacuum enclosure, that emits electrons to be irradiated onto the anode target; a power feed section to which a high-voltage cable is connected to supply high voltage to the anode target; an insulating portion that covers the power feed section and the high-voltage cable with an insulating material, wherein the power feed section includes a contact surface with which a distal end surface of the high-voltage cable is brought into contact, an angle formed by the contact surface and a side surface of the high-voltage cable is an acute angle, the high-voltage cable includes a core material in which the high voltage is applied and a coating material that covers the core material, the core material and the coating material are present on the distal end surface of the high-voltage cable, the core material of the high-voltage cable is connected to the contact surface, and the coating material is brought into contact with the contact surface. 2 . The X-ray tube according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface of the high voltage cable is formed into a tapered shape, a diameter of which is gradually decreased on a side of the distal end surface. 3 . The X-ray tube according to claim 2 , wherein the side surface of the high voltage cable is formed into an uneven surface. 4 . The X-ray tube according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface of the high voltage cable is formed into an uneven surface.
