ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a frame for a color CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube), in particular to the frame for the color CRT which is capable of increasing an impact character and a vibration character of a shadow mask by strengthening corner portions of the frame.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In general, a frame supporting a shadow mask inside of a color CRT prevents vibrations and distortions of the shadow mask. And, an impact character and a vibration character of the frame can be improved in proportion to stiffness of the frame.
There are many methods for improving the stiffness of the frame, among them increasing thickness of the frame is one of the simple methods.
However, the method is not appropriate because it may cause increase of a unit cost, accordingly product efficiency can be lowered due to that.
Among the methods, a bead forming method is widely used in order to strengthen the stiffness of the frame. In the bead forming method, stiffening beads are formed at a portion imposed stress at the most when vibration displacement or impact displacement occurs.
In the color CRT, particularly corner portions are the portions imposed stress at the most caused by the impact displacement and the vibration displacement.
Hereinafter, the color CRT comprising the conventional frame will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As depicted in FIG.
1
and
FIG. 2
, the color CRT comprises a vacuum outer casing including a front panel
1
and a funnel

anastomosed on the rear end of the panel

, a three color fluorescent screen

a
having a red R, green G, blue B color, a shadow mask which is supported by a frame
6
and is installed on the rear portion of the panel so as to have a certain distance from the fluorescent screen

a
in order to make an electron beam
10
throw electron beams accurately on the fluorescent screen.
And, the frame
6
supports inner upper and lower end of the panel
1
by a spring

, and an inner shield
11
is combined to the rear end of the frame
6
in order to prevent electron beam
10
from being influenced by an outer magnetic field.
The red, green, blue electron beam
10
radiated by a electron gun

is deflected toward the fluorescent screen

by a vertical horizontal deflection magnetic field of a deflection yoke

, is subdivided, and can illustrate an image by being thrown on the fluorescent screen

a.
Meanwhile, the electron beam
10
radiated by the electron gun
3
has to be accurately thrown the fluorescent screen
1
a
in accordance with the each color of the screen
1
a
, when the impact and vibration are transferred from outside to the shadow mask
5
, the electron beam
10
can not be thrown accurately on the each color of fluorescent screen
1
a
, but is deviated, accordingly wave figures occur on the fluorescent screen
1
a.
This is called as a microphonic phenomenon, in order to prevent the phenomenon directly, the stiffness of the shadow mask
5
has to increase, or the phenomenon can be prevented indirectly by strengthening the frame
6
.
In addition, a drop impact experiment is performed on the color CRT, when there is distortion of the shadow mask as above, the screen
1
a
is uneven, accordingly credibility of the product lowers.
As depicted in FIG.
2
and
FIG. 3
, In order to prevent above mentioned problems, a plurality of beads
6
a
are protrusively formed at the each inner side and corner of the frame in order to strengthen the stiffness of the frame.
However, as depicted in
FIG. 4
, most of the stress due to variable vibration modes are concentrated on the corner portions. The each mode shows the vibration distortion in accordance with changes of the frequency.
After all, the beads formed at the each side can not increase the stiffness of the frame.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a frame for a color CRT which is capable of increasing an impact character and a vibration character of a shadow mask by strengthening corner portions of the frame.
The frame for the color CRT of the present invention having a square framework comprises a plurality of beads for strengthening stiffness of the frame formed on the framework including corner portions in order to prevent distortion of the shadow mask.
Herein, the beads on the corner portions are stepped beads having at least two steps.
In addition, the beads on the corner portions are formed along the width direction of the frame.
In addition, the beads on the corner portions are formed along the circumference direction of the frame.
