Abstract
A rotary bulb tube of an x-ray radiator is mounted for rotation in a housing, which is filled with a coolant and is connected to a shaft section, which in turn is connected by a coupling to a second shaft section extending to a motor for rotating the bulb tube. The coupling is designed to isolate the rotary bulb tube electrically from the motor and to isolate the bulb tube from motor vibrations.
Claims16
An x-ray radiator having a rotary bulb tube mounted for rotation in a housing filled with a coolant, said rotary bulb tube being connected by a shaft arrangement having a coupling to a means for rotating the bulb tube, said means including a motor and the coupling forming a non-positive connection between the motor and the tube.
An x-ray radiator having a bulb tube mounted for rotation in a housing filled with a coolant, means for rotating the bulb tube including a motor, a shaft arrangement including a first shaft section extending from the rotary bulb connected by a coupling to a second shaft section extending from the motor, said coupling having an output disc being connected with the first shaft section, a drive disc being connected to the second shaft section and an electrically insulating intermediate disc connecting the output disc with the drive disc, a coupling having a non-positive connection between the drive disc and the intermediate disc, said non-positive connection including first projections being received in first recesses, one of the intermediate disc and drive disc having the first projections and the recesses being positioned in the other of said discs.
An x-ray radiator having a rotary bulb tube mounted for rotation in a housing filled with a coolant, means for rotating the bulb tube including a motor, a shaft arrangement having a coupling for interconnecting the bulb tube to said motor, said coupling comprising an output disc being connected to a first shaft section extending from the rotary bulb, a drive disc being connected to a second shaft section extending from the motor and an electrically insulating intermediate disc connecting the output disc with the drive disc, said coupling having a non-positive connection between the output disc and the intermediate disc comprising second projections being received in second recesses, said second projections being provided on a selected one of the output disc and intermediate disc and the recesses being disposed in the other of said discs.
