On the other hand, an electron beam emitting apparatus of the cold type as compared with the above-mentioned thermal type is also introduced. Various types of electron emission devices of the cold type are also introduced.

1 is a view showing an electron beam emitting apparatus using a concave cathode in an electron beam emitting apparatus of a cold system.

1, a conventional electron beam emitting apparatus may include a cathode 20 and an anode 30, an insulating portion 40, and a tube 50.

The cathode (20) is disposed at one end of the tube (50), and a gradient is formed such that the downward facing surface is concave.

The anode 30 is disposed at the other end of the tube 50 and is spaced apart from the cathode 20.

The cathode 20 is fixed to the tube 50 by an insulating part 40 and a driving part 60 for controlling an electric energy applied to the cathode 20 is provided outside the insulating part 40, And a cooling unit 70 for cooling the cathode 20 is provided.

Meanwhile, the tube 50 is made of a quartz material which can be insulated while observing the internal state and at the same time, being able to withstand high temperatures.

In addition, a focusing unit 80 and a deflecting unit 90 are provided below the anode 30 to focus and deflect the emitted electron beam.

Accordingly, the electrons emitted from the cathode 20 are accelerated by the anode 30 and are emitted to form an electron beam. The electrons are converged while passing through the focusing unit 80, and emitted through the deflection unit 90 The direction can be deflected.

Part of the electron beam emitted from the cathode 20 may not pass through the anode 30 due to scattering or the like, and scattering electrons 7 reflected at the periphery of the anode 30 may be generated.

An element such as nitrogen in the tube 50 may collide with the accelerated electrons to emit secondary electrons 9. Such secondary electrons 9 are more likely to be emitted from the cathode 20 than electrons emitted from the cathode 20 Scattered without being focused and can be reflected in the tube 50 without passing through the anode 30.

The reflected secondary electrons 9 and scattering electrons 9 are reflected in the tube 50 to raise the temperature in the tube 2 or to generate an arc, As shown in FIG.

Also, the conventional electron beam emitting apparatus is a device for performing welding or surface treatment through a hot cathode method, and the material of the filament used in the hot cathode method may be tungsten.

However, since the tungsten filament has a short life span, it needs to be replaced after a certain period of time. As a result, the working efficiency is decreased and the working time is increased according to the replacement time.

2 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of an atmospheric electron beam emitting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

2, an atmospheric electron beam emitting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cathode 120, an anode 130, an insulating holder 140, a low pressure housing 150 , A high pressure housing 300, and a gas conditioning unit 400.

The cathode 120 is provided on one side of the low-pressure housing 150 and emits electrons by receiving electrical energy. In this embodiment, the cathode 120 is formed of a metallic material and has the shape of a disk having a predetermined thickness as a whole I will explain it.

The anode 130 may be positioned away from the cathode 120 in the low-pressure housing 150 to the other side. The anode 130 is an element for receiving electrons and accelerating the electrons emitted from the cathode 120. An opening 132 through which accelerated electrons pass may be formed.

The insulating holder 140 isolates the cathode 120 from the low-voltage housing 150 and fixes the cathode 120 to the low-voltage housing 150.

A driving unit 160 for supplying electrical energy to the cathode 120 or the anode 130 and a cooling unit 170 for cooling the cathode 120 may be provided on one side of the insulating holder 140.

Therefore, when electric energy is applied to the cathode 120 and the anode 130, electrons are emitted from the cathode 120 and accelerated toward the anode 130, and then discharged through the outlet 156 of the high-pressure housing 300 Can be released.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the surface of the cathode 120 facing the anode 130 may have a concave gradient.

The edge of the surface of the cathode 120 on which the gradient is formed may be rounded.

Accordingly, since the tip of the cathode 120 is not formed with a pointed tip, arc generation is prevented, and stable operation is possible.

The insulating holder 140 is formed to surround the rear surface of the surface of the cathode 120 where the gradient of the cathode 120 is formed and the side surface of the cathode 120. The insulating holder 140 surrounds the side surface of the cathode 120 The wrapping portion may be formed to extend to the rounded portion 122 of the rim of the cathode 120.

A ground 158 may also be provided.

When the metal for the atmosphere electron beam emitting apparatus 100 is machined, metal vapor is generated from the molten metal, and the generated metal vapor can be deposited on the inner surface of the tube 152.

At this time, because the ground 158 is formed in the tube 152, electrons around the metal vapor adhered to the inner side of the tube 152 flow to the ground 158, Stable operation is possible, and at the same time, the limit output can be raised.

Also, due to the nature of the metal material, it is resistant to external shocks and repeated thermal shocks, and semi-permanent use is possible since operation is possible without removing the attached metal vapor.
