Abstract
An x-ray emitter housing includes a first housing part and a second housing part that are connected to one another in a form-fit manner using an axially acting threaded ring.
Claims20
An x-ray emitter housing comprising:
- a first housing part;
- a second housing part;
- a radially sealing element;
- an axially acting threaded ring;
- and
- a disk spring;
- wherein the first housing part has a larger diameter than the second housing part, and wherein at least a portion of the first housing part overlaps the second housing part along a radial axis of the x-ray emitter housing,
- wherein the first housing part and the second housing part are connected to one another in a form-fit manner with the axially acting threaded ring, wherein the axially acting threaded ring is positioned between the portion of the first housing part that overlaps the second housing part,
- wherein the second housing part comprises a ring-shaped projection having a circumferential annular groove, the ring-shaped projection located at an end of the second housing part facing outward from a center of the x-ray emitter housing toward the first housing part,
- wherein the radially sealing element is arranged within the circumferential annular groove of the ring-shaped projection, and
- wherein the disk spring is arranged between the axially acting threaded ring and the ring-shaped projection, the disk spring configured to maintain pre-stressing forces and prevent settling effects.
