Abstract

Abstract A magnetron device composed by improving the medium or large size magnetron device having an output power of the order of 500 watts in ultrahigh frequency, which comprises as cooling means an assembly of a natural air-cooled type radiator formed of aluminum or alloy thereof and which, accordingly, does not necessitate the cooling means like blowers provided to conventional devices. Said device has such advantages that noise is eliminated during operation and that it is light and compact and therefore it is particularly suitable for a domestic-use microwave range.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 84 words
In an air-cooled magnetron device comprising a magnetron tube and a magnetic field generator magnetically coupled to said magnetron tube, a cooling arrangement comprising a substantially rectangular board having a hole at the center thereof to which the anode block of the magnetron tube is fitted and on which the magnetic field generator is mounted, and a pair of groups of fins attached to the opposite side-faces of said board, said groups of fins being disposed so as to protect said magnetic field generator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 84 words
In an air-cooled magnetron device comprising a magnetron tube and a magnetic field generator magnetically coupled to said magnetron tube, a cooling arrangement comprising a substantially rectangular board having a hole at the center thereof to which the anode block of the magnetron tube is fitted and on which the magnetic field generator is mounted, and a pair of groups of fins attached to the opposite side-faces of said board, said groups of fins being disposed so as to protect said magnetic field generator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 45 words
A cooling arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said fins are disposed in such a manner that the surfaces of said fins are parallel with the main axis of the magnetron tube and with the opposing direction of said pair of groups of fins.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 73 words
A cooling arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein the weight of said board is 20 percent to 60 percent of the total weight of said cooling arrangement, and the difference between the temperature of the peripheral part of said hole in said board and the temperature of the edge part of said board where said group of fins are attached is less than 50* C. during the operation of said magnetron tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A cooling arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said board and said fins are made of aluminum.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
A cooling arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said board and said fins are made of an alloy of aluminum.
