The invention discloses a hollow
cathode assembly, which comprises an emitter, a top pore plate, a heater, a gas-
guide tube, an
auxiliary electrode and a
contact electrode, the touch pole is of a cylindrical structure, one end of the touch pole is combined and fixed with a plate body, the center of the plate body is provided with a through hole, and the emitter, the top hole plate, the heater, the auxiliary pole and the gas-
guide tube are coaxially arranged with the touch pole; the gas-
guide tube is of a hollow tube body structure and is arranged in the touch holding
electrode in a penetrating manner; the top hole plate is combined and fixed at one end, close to the plate body, of the gas-guide tube; a
small hole is formed in the center of the top hole plate; the heater wraps the
peripheral surface of the gas guide
pipe; the emitter is located in the air guide
pipe and abuts against the top hole plate, a cavity penetrating through the emitter is formed in the center of the emitter, and the cavity is communicated with the
small hole; the
auxiliary electrode penetrates through the gas guide tube, one end of the
auxiliary electrode is located in the cavity, the cavity is of a conical structure, the inner
diameter of an opening in the side close to the top pore plate is smaller than that of an opening in the side away from the top pore plate,
discharge current oscillation can be reduced, and the stability of the hollow
cathode assembly is improved.
