As a literature which discloses a related art relevant to this type of cathode ray tube, Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication 268746/2000 can be named, for example.

In the cathode ray tube using the magnetic current modulator having such a constitution, during the operation, the vertical or horizontal cores 202 a , 203 a , 203 c , 204 a , 204 c or the bias magnets 205 , 206 which constitute the magnetic current modulator 20 generate the magnetic distortion due to the magnetic fields generated by respective coils. Accordingly, there have been cases in which the mechanical vibrations caused by these magnetic distortions impinge on the neighboring vertical and horizontal cores, bias magnets or the resin casing so that an uncomfortable sound, so-called “singing” is generated.

This uncomfortable sound constitutes a “beating sound” having high frequency of a specified horizontal frequency which flows in the deflection yoke, for example, approximately 15 kHz in the vicinity of 69 kHz,. There is a possibility that such an uncomfortable sound is generated at a band of other frequencies in the similar manner. Such an uncomfortable sound brings about the poor evaluation of the quality of a monitor or a picture receiving set which incorporates the cathode ray tube therein.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a cathode ray tube of high quality by preventing the occurrence of an uncomfortable sound derived from a magnetic current modulator in the cathode ray tube.

According to the present invention, a clamp unit which brings respective vertical and horizontal cores and the bias magnets of a magnetic current modulator into close contact with each other in the arrangement direction (axial direction) of the respective cores is disposed in a resin casing of the magnetic current modulator.

The clamp unit uses a resilient body which is made of non-magnetic material such as stainless steel and is preferably formed of non-magnetic metal, wherein the above-mentioned respective cores and bias magnets are brought into pressure contact with each other from the outside of the resin casing by means of a resilient body in the axial direction of the vertical and horizontal cores.

Due to such a constitution, the generation of an uncomfortable sound derived from the magnetic distortion of the vertical and horizontal cores or the bias magnets which constitute the magnetic current modulator can be prevented so that the quality of a monitor or a picture receiving set which incorporates a cathode ray tube therein can be enhanced.

Further, by coating an adhesive agent on a portion between the neighboring respective vertical and horizontal cores and a portion between these cores and the bias magnets disposed close to the vertical and horizontal cores, the generation of the uncomfortable sound can be prevented more effectively.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

To enumerate typical constitutions of the present invention, they are as follows.

(1) In a color cathode ray tube, a vacuum envelope is constituted of a panel portion having a phosphor screen which forms a screen, a neck portion which houses an inline-type electron gun irradiating electron beams, and a funnel portion which connects the panel portion and the neck portion contiguously,

a deflection unit which comprises a deflection yoke which deflects the electron beams in two directions consisting of horizontal and vertical directions, a magnet assembly which optimizes color purity and convergence on a display screen on a phosphor screen by correcting loci of the electron beams, and a magnetic current modulator which corrects an inner pin distortion at a central portion of the screen are exteriorly mounted over the funnel portion and the neck portion,

the magnetic current modulator includes a vertical core around which a vertical modulation coil which is inserted into a vertical deflection coil in series is wound, a pair of horizontal cores around which horizontal modulation coils which are disposed at both ends of the vertical core in the winding axis direction and inserted in series into a horizontal deflection coil are wound, a pair of bias magnets which are closely arranged in the winding axis direction of the respective horizontal cores and the respective vertical cores from the outside of a pair of respective horizontal cores, and a resin casing which houses the vertical cores, the horizontal cores and the bias magnets, and

the color cathode ray tube further includes a clamp unit which resiliently presses the respective horizontal cores and vertical cores from the outside of the resin casing from both ends in the winding axis direction.

Due to such a constitution, the mechanical movement of the respective vertical and horizontal cores and the bias magnets of the magnetic current modulator can be suppressed by the resin casing which is resiliently pressed by the clamp unit so that the generation of an uncomfortable sound can be prevented.

(2) The clamp unit in the above-mentioned (1) is formed of non-magnetic metal.

Due to such a constitution, the clamping unit does not form a magnetic path and hence, the undesired influence which the magnetic field gives on the operation of above-mentioned magnetic current modulator can be prevented.

(3) Respective pairs of horizontal cores and the vertical core in the above-mentioned (1) or (2) are fixed to each other using an adhesive agent, and a pair of horizontal cores and a pair of the bias magnets in the above-mentioned (1) or (2) are fixed to each other by means of an adhesive agent.

Due to such a constitution, the mechanical movement between respective pairs of horizontal cores and the vertical core of the magnetic current modulator and the mechanical movement between a pair of horizontal cores and a pair of the bias magnets of the magnetic current modulator can be suppressed so that an uncomfortable sound can be surely prevented.

(4) The resin casing of the magnetic current modulator in the above-mentioned (1) to (3) is allowed to pass through an opening formed in the printed circuit board and, at the same time, the resin casing and the printed circuit board are fixedly secured to each other by an adhesive agent.

Due to such a constitution, the mechanical movement of the respective vertical and horizontal cores and the bias magnets of the magnetic current modulator is further suppressed by the resin casing which is resiliently pressed by the clamp unit and is also suppressed by the opening formed in the printed circuit board which allows the resin casing to pass through the opening whereby the generation of an uncomfortable sound can be prevented.

Either one of nonmagnetic non-metal and nonmagnetic metal can be used as the clamp unit. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned constitution and the constitution of embodiments which will be described later and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical concept of the present invention.

Further, by fixedly securing the vertical modulation coil 202 , respective pairs of horizontal modulation coils 203 , 204 which are arranged to be in close contact with the vertical modulation coil 202 in the winding axis direction of the vertical modulation coil 202 and a pair of bias magnets 205 , 206 which are arranged to be in close contact with respective outsides of respective pairs of horizontal modulation coils 203 , 204 by coating an adhesive agent 208 to respective neighboring contact portions thereof, the close-contact state of these coils and magnets can be further enhanced.

In this embodiment, a clamp unit 210 which resiliently presses a resin casing 201 has approximately the same planar shape as that of the resin casing 201 .

In this embodiment, a clamp unit 212 which resiliently presses a resin casing 201 has a shape which completely covers a planar shape of the resin casing 201 and, at the same time, a projection band having an elongated strip shape is formed on a central portion of the clamp unit 212 along the longitudinal direction of the resin casing 201 .

In this embodiment, since the clamp unit 212 completely shields the magnetic current modulator from an external environment, it is possible to obtain a sound-proof effect that even when a small uncomfortable sound is generated, it is possible to shield the sound.

FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining the constitution of the fourth embodiment of the magnetic current modulator used in the color cathode ray tube of the present invention.
