A magnetron includes an anode cylinder extending in a cylindrical shape along a central axis and a plurality of plate-like vanes at least each one end of which is fixed to the anode cylinder, extending from an inner face of the anode cylinder toward the central axis, in which the anode cylinder includes refrigerant flow paths for directly applying a refrigerant to the plate-like vanes. The refrigerant flow paths 111 are openings formed so that end surfaces (joint end faces of the plate-like vanes) of the plate-like vanes are exposed, which allow the refrigerant to directly contact the plate-like vanes.

Provided is, for an industrial magnetron having a large output, a method for manufacturing an industrial magnetron that can be continuously operated by effectively cooling an anode cylindrical body and a magnet and suppressing performance degradation and failure of the anode cylindrical body. The industrial magnetron includes the anode cylindrical body, annular permanent magnets that are arranged above and below the anode cylindrical body to supply a magnetic field, and a cooling block disposed in a columnar shape on the outer circumference of the anode cylindrical body. The cooling block has an anode cylindrical body contact portion, which is a portion in contact with the anode cylindrical body, and a permanent magnet contact portion, which is a portion in contact with the permanent magnets and both the anode cylindrical body and the permanent magnets are cooled by one cooling block.

A magnetron includes an anode cylindrical body, a plurality of vanes, a cathode filament, an input-side magnetic pole, an output-side magnetic pole, and a choke structure. The anode cylindrical body has a cylindrical shape with an input-side opening part and an output-side opening part. The plurality of vanes is radially disposed from a central axis of the anode cylindrical body to an inner wall surface of the anode cylindrical body. The cathode filament is disposed along the central axis of the anode cylindrical body. The input-side magnetic pole and the output-side magnetic pole are disposed on the input-side opening part and the output-side opening part, respectively. The choke structure is seamlessly formed and disposed so as to cover an opening rim of the input-side magnetic pole with respect to the central axis of the anode cylindrical body.

A magnetron includes a yoke, an anode unit including an anode cylinder, radially arranged vanes, and first and second pole pieces at both sides of the anode cylinder, a cathode unit having a filament spaced apart from the vanes, and an output unit having an antenna lead connected to one vane to radiate high-frequency microwaves. The first pole piece includes a first flat portion, a slope at an inner side of the first flat portion, a second flat portion at an inner side of the slope and having a diameter of 9.510.5 mm, a first hole formed in the second flat portion and having a diameter of 88.2 mm, and a second hole formed in the slope for penetration of the antenna lead. The magnetron achieves higher and stabilized efficiency, restricted oscillation efficiency variation, lower energy consumption, and improved load stability without deterioration of oscillation efficiency.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally provide magnetron configurations that provide more efficient and/or more uniform cooling characteristics and methods for forming the magnetrons. The magnetron includes one or more flow directing structures disposed between parallel cooling fins. The flow directing structures direct air flow across various surfaces of the cooling fins that otherwise would be obstructed by magnetron components, reducing the incidence and/or magnitude of hot spots on the cooling fins and/or on other magnetron components. The flow directing structures also adjust flow rates to improve cooling efficiency.

An anode structure for a magnetron provides for low eddy currents and efficient water cooling. The anode structure may be made by machining a bimetal blank including an out layer of a first metal and an inner layer of a second metal and formed by explosion bonding. The second metal has a resistivity lower than first metal and a thermal conductivity higher than the first metal. The machining may result in the anode structure with vanes each having a center (tip) portion made of the second metal and the rest made of the first metal. The machined anode structure may be coated with the second metal.

Provided are a magnetron and a microwave heating device. The magnetron includes a tube core, a first tube shell, a second tube shell, an output ceramic, an antenna cap, and an antenna. The first tube shell, the tube core, the second tube shell, the output ceramic, and the antenna cap are connected in sequence. The antenna extends into the tube core, and sequentially passes through the second tube shell and the output ceramic and extends into the antenna cap. A height H1 of the second tube shell relative to the tube core is smaller than or equal to 14 mm, and a ratio H1/S of a height H1 of the tube core to a cross-sectional area S of the antenna ranges from 0.4 to 3.3.
