[0036] The present embodiment provides an ionization source device, including an ionization bubble 1, a resonant cavity assembly 2, and a magnetic field generator 3. An input port 11 and an output port 12 are provided on the ionization bubble 1. The input port 11 is used to input hydrogen into the ionization bubble 1, and the output port 12 is used to output the hydrogen plasma in the ionization bubble 1. The resonant cavity assembly 2 includes a resonant cavity 21, a flange cover 22, and a microwave introduction member 24. The microwave introduction member 24 is provided on the flange cover 22. The flange cover 22 is provided on the resonant cavity 21 to form a resonant cavity. The ionization bubble 1 is located in the resonant cavity and abuts the flange cover 22.

The ionization source device simplifies the structure of the resonant cavity component 2 and the ionization bubble 1, thereby reducing the complexity of the structural assembly of the ionization source device, helping to realize the miniaturized design of the ionization source device, and can also reduce energy coupling loss and improve the preparation efficiency of hydrogen atoms.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the ionization source device provided in this embodiment is that the outer wall of the ionization bubble 1 has a recessed insertion groove 13, the insertion groove 13 extends along the thickness direction of the flange cover 22, and the magnetron of the microwave introduction member 24 is inserted in the insertion groove 13 and is located outside the ionization bubble 1. In this embodiment, the insertion groove 13 is arranged to be recessed toward the inner cavity of the ionization bubble 1, so that the center of the ionization bubble 1 can form a space for accommodating the magnetron, and the flange cover 22 can also abut against the top of the ionization bubble 1, so as to reduce the space for accommodating the ionization bubble 1 and the magnetron in the resonant cavity, so as to realize the miniaturization of the ionization source device.

[0039] Optionally, at least two insertion slots 13 are provided, and the magnetron includes a positive pole and a negative pole, the positive pole is insulated and connected to the flange cover 22, the positive pole is inserted in one insertion slot 13, and the negative pole is inserted in another insertion slot 13. In specific implementation, at least two through mounting holes are provided on the flange cover 22, the positive pole is inserted into one mounting hole, and an insulating layer 221 is provided between the positive pole and the inner wall of the mounting hole to ensure that the positive pole is insulated and connected to the flange cover 22, and the negative pole is inserted into another mounting hole, and the negative pole is non-insulated and connected to the flange cover 22. In specific implementation, an SMA interface 4 is also provided on the flange cover 22, and the magnetron is connected to the SMA interface 4. The SMA interface 4 is widely used for coaxial connection in the RF and microwave fields, and has the characteristics of small size, stable performance, wide frequency range, etc., and is suitable for transmission of RF signals.

[0040] In other embodiments, the positive electrode and the negative electrode may be located in the same insertion slot 13, and there is a certain distance between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the distance between the positive electrode and the negative electrode provides necessary space for the movement of electrons.

[0041] Optionally, the resonant cavity assembly 2 further includes a base 23, the resonant cavity 21 and the base 23 are detachably connected, the ionization bubble 1 is sandwiched between the resonant cavity 21 and the base 23, an inlet 231 and an outlet 232 are arranged on the base 23, the inlet 231 is connected to the input port 11, and the outlet 232 is connected to the output port 12. The resonant cavity assembly 2 further includes a first sealing ring 26 and a second sealing ring 27, the base 23 presses the first sealing ring 26 and is arranged around the periphery of the input port 11, and the base 23 presses the second sealing ring 27 and is arranged around the periphery of the output port 12. In a specific implementation, the opening at the upper end of the resonant cavity 21 is connected to the flange cover 22, and the lower end of the resonant cavity 21 is connected to the base 23, so that the ionization bubble 1 can be fixed in the middle. The resonant cavity 21 includes a resonant cavity body and a first convex ring arranged on the outer periphery of the resonant cavity body, and the ionization bubble 1 includes an ionization bubble body and a second convex ring arranged on the outer periphery of the ionization bubble body, the first convex ring is connected to the base 23 by a fastener, and the second convex ring is clamped between the first convex ring and the base 23, so as to achieve the fixation of the ionization bubble 1 by the resonant cavity assembly 2. Both the resonant cavity 21 and the base 23 are aluminum alloy structures, and the clamping force applied to the second convex ring when the two are connected is too large, which may easily cause damage to the ionization bubble 1, while the clamping force applied to the second convex ring when the two are connected is too small, which may easily cause a gap between the ionization bubble 1 and the base 23. Therefore, a first sealing ring 26 is arranged around the periphery of the input port 11, and a second sealing ring 27 is arranged around the periphery of the output port 12. The input port 11 and the inlet 231 are coaxially arranged in the vertical direction, and the output port 12 and the outlet 232 are coaxially arranged in the vertical direction. The second sealing ring 27 is sleeved on the periphery of the first sealing ring 26. After the base 23 is fastened to the resonance cavity 21, the first sealing ring 26 will be squeezed and fixed by the base 23 on the periphery of the input port 11 and the inlet 231 to ensure that the input port 11 and the inlet 231 are connected, and the second sealing ring 27 will be squeezed and fixed by the base 23 on the periphery of the output port 12 and the outlet 232 to ensure that the output port 12 and the outlet 232 are connected.

[0042] Optionally, the magnetic field generating member 3 is an annular permanent magnet, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the resonant cavity 21. In this embodiment, two annular permanent magnets are provided, the magnetic poles of the two annular permanent magnets are the same, and an insulator is provided between the two annular permanent magnets so that there is a gap between the two annular permanent magnets to form a magnetic mirror.

[0043] In this embodiment, the annular permanent magnet is made of neodymium iron boron material.

[0044] In this embodiment, the intensity of the magnetic field is 875 Gs and the frequency of the microwaves is 2.45 GHz, so as to ensure that the Larmor frequency of the electrons matches the microwave frequency and that efficient discharge can be maintained in a low-pressure environment.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] The ionization source device provided in this embodiment is different from the ionization source device provided in the first embodiment in that:

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the microwave introduction member 24 of the ionization source device of this embodiment is directly inserted into the ionization bubble 1. The specific structure is that a coating 25 of polytetrafluoroethylene material is provided on the inner wall of the resonant cavity 21 and the inner wall of the flange cover 22, so that the cavity formed by the combination of the resonant cavity 21 and the flange cover 22 is both a resonant cavity and an inner cavity of the ionization bubble 1. The ionization source device provided in this embodiment forms an ionization space for hydrogen ionization by coating the polytetrafluoroethylene material 25 in the resonant cavity, and the ionization bubble 1 can be completely omitted. In order to ensure the sealing of the ionization space, the resonant cavity 21 and the flange cover 22 need to be sealed and connected to avoid hydrogen leakage.

[0048] The structure of the microwave introduction member 24 of this embodiment is consistent with that of the microwave introduction member 24 of the first embodiment. The microwave introduction member 24 is generally made of pure copper and is silver-plated or gold-plated. The polytetrafluoroethylene material can prevent the generated plasma from contacting the metal surface and reversing and compounding into hydrogen molecules. The microwave introduction member 24 is located in the ionization bubble 1 to output electromagnetic field microwave energy, so the hydrogen near the microwave introduction member 24 is more easily ionized. Secondly, the surface area of ​​the microwave introduction member 24 located in the ionization bubble 1 is small, that is, the contact with the hydrogen is limited. Therefore, even if the surface of the microwave introduction member 24 is not coated with polytetrafluoroethylene material, its effect on the reversal of the plasma is limited.

[0049] Optionally, the resonant cavity assembly 2 further includes a third sealing ring 28. The resonant cavity 21 has an opening, a step surface is provided at the opening, the flange cover 22 is provided on the step surface, and the third sealing ring 28 is sandwiched between the step surface and the flange cover 22. In specific implementation, the step surface is annular, the flange cover 22 is provided on the step surface to limit the assembly position of the flange cover 22 on the resonant cavity 21, and the outer periphery of the flange cover 22 and the inner wall of the opening are provided with matching threaded structures, and the flange cover 22 is fixed to the opening through threaded connection. The third sealing ring 28 is provided on the step surface, and as the flange cover 22 rotates at the opening so that the flange cover 22 continuously moves toward one side of the step surface, until the third sealing ring 28 is sandwiched between the flange cover 22 and the step surface, thereby ensuring the sealing of the ionization space.

[0050] In other embodiments, sealant may also be provided at the opening of the resonance cavity 21 to ensure that when the flange cover 22 is provided at the opening of the resonance cavity 21 , the sealant is used to seal the gap between the flange cover 22 and the resonance cavity 21 , thereby ensuring the sealing of the ionization space.

[0051] Optionally, the resonant cavity assembly 2 further includes a base 23, the base 23 is integrally provided with the resonant cavity, and the base 23 is provided with an input port 11 and an output port 12. In this embodiment, the input port 11 and the inlet 231 are the same, and the output port 12 and the outlet 232 are also the same. On this basis, it is no longer necessary to consider the sealed communication between the input port 11 and the inlet 231, and the sealed communication between the output port 12 and the outlet 232, and the structure is simpler.

[0052] In addition, the structure of the ionization source device provided in this embodiment is consistent with that of the ionization source device in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Embodiment 3

[0054] This embodiment also provides a hydrogen atomic clock, including the ionization source device in embodiment 1 or embodiment 2. As one of the key components of the hydrogen atomic clock, the ionization source device can ionize hydrogen molecules into hydrogen atoms to provide the necessary hydrogen atoms for the normal operation of the hydrogen atomic clock. The ionization source device assembly structure of the hydrogen atomic clock is highly simplified, which helps to realize the miniaturized design of the ionization source device, and can also reduce energy coupling loss and improve the preparation efficiency of hydrogen atoms.

[0055] The above embodiments are only to illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above embodiments.
