Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a magnetic circuit of a long-life Hall thruster. Background technique

[0002] The Hall thruster is currently a typical electric propulsion device in the world. It is used on spacecraft to perform orbit transfer and position maintenance tasks. figure 1 is an axial cross-sectional view of an example of a Hall thruster. The propellant xenon enters the channel from the anode 30 upstream of the annular discharge channel 20, and the anode provides a high potential; electrons are ejected from the cathode 40 at the outlet downstream of the annular discharge channel, and the cathode provides a low potential. Part of the electrons ejected from the cathode enters the interior of the annular discharge channel, and undergoes Hall drift motion under the action of the radial magnetic field generated by the external magnetic circuit 10 and the axial electric field generated by the internal self-consistency, and the electrons and propellant a...

specific Embodiment approach

[0030] The discharge channel of the Hall thruster is an annular channel structure, and the relevant structural dimensions (including average diameter, width, and wall thickness) of the discharge channel are determined according to the design knowledge disclosed in the art. The invention proposes a long-life hall thruster magnetic circuit under the condition that the structural size of the discharge channel has been determined. For a Hall thruster with a discharge power of 5kW, it is known that the anode voltage is 600V, the average diameter of the discharge channel is d=120mm, the width w=22mm, the wall thickness δ=5mm, and the length from the anode end face to the outlet of the discharge channel is 30mm. The specific implementation of the long-life magnetic circuit corresponding to the thruster is as follows:

[0031] 1) The magnetic circuit of the thruster is composed of an inner magnetic shield 12, an outer magnetic shield 13, an inner magnetic pole 18, an outer magnetic po...
