The invention relates to the technical field of device performance testing, in particular to a vacuum
diode scaling testing method and device based on the similarity principle, and the method comprises the steps: determining the inherent parameters and target testing conditions of a to-be-tested vacuum
diode prototype, generating a test control parameter set of the prototype according to the inherent parameters and the target test condition; based on the test control parameter set of the prototype
machine, scaling the geometric dimension of the prototype
machine at equal ratio by using a target similarity principle, and determining a scaling model of the prototype
machine and a corresponding scaled working condition; and based on the scaled working condition, testing the scaling model to obtain working parameters and performance of the scaling model, and according to the working parameters and the performance, carrying out
backstepping to obtain working parameters and performance of the prototype. Therefore, the problems that the test cost is relatively high and the
test efficiency and the safety cannot be effectively guaranteed due to the fact that the equal-ratio test of the high-power vacuum
diode prototype needs to be manufactured in a
large size and requires an extremely
high voltage in the prior art are solved.
