Abstract

The present invention relates to one kind of X-ray source of pyroelectric crystal. The X-ray source casing has leads in one end and thin aluminum window in the other end. There are one heating pedestal with built-in heater in the center of the casing; one crystal set in the end near the window on the heating pedestal; one film target set belongs to the the crystal and the window; one refrigerator set inside the heating pedestal and opposite to the heater; and one heat radiator set outside the refrigerator and connected to casing. Being small and cheap, the crystal X-ray emitter of the present invention is suitable for use in various industrial sensor and portable instrument and especially in X-ray teaching demonstration and experiment instrument.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pyroelectric crystal X light source, belonging to the technical field of physical instruments. Background technique [0002] In today's industry, various X-ray instruments are widely used in medical and health departments, universities and research institutes. The X-ray light source generally uses X-ray tubes. figure 1 Shown are currently popular X-ray tubes. Its working principle is to use high voltage (above 30KV) to accelerate the electrons emitted by the hot cathode tungsten wire 4 to bombard the metal target 5 to excite the target atoms to emit X-rays. Due to the high voltage used in the working process, necessary insulation and protection must be adopted, and the hot cathode also consumes a large amount of power, so the instrument is larger in size and more expensive in cost. When the high-speed electrons reach the surface of the anode (target), the movement of the electrons is suddenly blocked. According to the elect...
