Problems solved by technology

During the operation of the ion thruster, some metal sputtering products will be generated, which are easily deposited between the screen grid and the acceleration grid, and between the screen grid and the anode, causing a short circuit
In addition, the grid is a set of metal sheets. During the operation of the thruster, the edge of the grid is prone to warping due to heat, resulting in contact between the screen grid and the acceleration grid, resulting in a short circuit
In order to prevent short circuits, for conventional ion thrusters, the screen grid and acceleration grid are installed on the thruster through a complex insulation structure, while for miniature ion thrusters, due to size constraints, it is difficult to use a complex installation structure for the grid

Abstract

The invention discloses an assembly structure and an assembly method of a grid assembly of a miniature ion thruster, comprising a ceramic base, a screen grid, an acceleration grid and a ceramic gasket. The ceramic base is fixed on the thruster main body by bolts, and the screen grid and the acceleration grid are installed On a ceramic base; both the screen grid and the acceleration grid are chemically etched from circular metal sheets. One side of the screen grid and the acceleration grid is kept flat, and the other side is the groove formed by the etching area. The etched area on the grid is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the thruster body; grid holes are machined in the etched area on the screen grid and the acceleration grid; the grooved side of the screen grid faces the thruster body and is placed directly on the ceramic. On the base, the ceramic gasket is arranged between the screen grid and the acceleration grid, and the side of the acceleration grid with the groove faces the outside; the difference between the thicknesses of the ceramic gasket and the screen grid is the distance between the two grids. The present invention can simplify the installation method of the grid components and avoid the short circuit phenomenon between the components.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of miniature ion thrusters, in particular to a grid assembly assembly structure and an assembly method of a miniature ion thruster. Background technique [0002] Ion thrusters generate a strong electric field by applying a voltage of several thousand volts, which accelerates ions to generate thrust. The device used to accelerate ions in an ion thruster is called a grid. A common two-grid ion thruster uses a screen grid and an acceleration grid. A voltage is applied between the screen grid and the acceleration grid, and the ions pass through the screen grid and the acceleration grid. on the porous array ejected. During the operation of the ion thruster, some metal sputtering products are easily deposited between the screen grid and the accelerating grid, the screen grid and the anode, resulting in a short circuit. In addition, the grid is a group of metal sheets, and the edges of the grid are easily warped ...
