A magnetron includes semi-circularly shaped electric field adjusting grooves provided on surfaces of outer ends of vanes brought into contact with an inner surface of a positive polar body to make distribution of an electric field uniform on the surfaces of the outer ends of the vanes. Accordingly, the electric field becomes uniform by the electric field adjusting grooves provided on the surfaces of the outer ends of the vanes, so that generation of undesirable harmonics is suppressed.

Vane structure of magnetron

A magnetron includes a ring-shaped anode, a cathode, an activating space, at least one permanent magnet and a magnetic flux carrying unit. The ring-shaped anode forms a plurality of resonance circuits. The cathode is disposed at the axial center of the anode to emit thermions. The activating space is formed between the anode and the cathode. The at least one permanent magnet is provided beside the anode. The magnetic flux carrying unit carries magnetic flux generated by the at least one permanent magnet to the activating space. A microwave oven and/or high frequency heating apparatus may utilize the magnetron.

Magnetron, and microwave oven and high-frequency heating apparatus each equipped with the same

A magnetron, and a microwave oven and a high frequency heating apparatus each equipped with the same use, a single permanent magnet disposed above or below an anode, a pole piece near the permanent magnet that has a magnetic flux dispersing structure, and another pole piece opposite to the permanent magnet that has a magnetic flux concentrating structure. In accordance with the present invention, even though a single permanent magnet is provided, magnetic flux density is rendered uniform across an activating space, so that the volume and parts of the magnetron are reduced and the curtailment of manufacturing costs is realized.

Magnetron and microwave oven and high frequency heating apparatus each equipped with the same

A magnetron includes a positive polar cylinder, a plurality of vanes, a filament, upper and lower shields, and upper and lower pole pieces. The vanes are disposed in the positive polar cylinder to constitute a positive polar section. The filament is disposed on an axis of the positive polar cylinder to define an activating space. The upper and lower shields cover a top and bottom of the filament, respectively. The upper and lower pole pieces are disposed to induce magnetic flux into the activating space. The upper shield preferably has a diameter ranging from 6.95 mm to 7.10 mm. Additionally, the lower shield preferably has a diameter ranging from 6.95 mm to 7.10 mm.
