  • Suction device used in aging process of a microwave tube
    Patent number: 6607417
    Abstract: A suction device used in aging process of a microwave tube includes an ion pump and a suction unit respectively connected to an electron gun and a collector located in two opposite ends of the microwave tube. The suction unit includes a barrel communicated with the microwave tube and a getter disposed in the barrel. An electric power source is electrically connected to the getter. Before operation, the microwave tube along with the suction device undergo exhaust process on a heating exhaust station. After that, the electric power source supplies an electric current to electrify and heat the getter to its activation condition. Therefore, the suction device can greatly save the vacuum suction time of the aging process and the cost associated with the production of the microwave tube.
