Wall loss is low, the advantage such as long lifespan, is had broad prospects in new space mission.Its operation principle is cusp field etc.
Unique magnet arrangements of gas ions thruster form cusped magnetic field in passage, and electronics is entered in passage by emission of cathode, quilt
The magnetic line of force captures, because Magnetic Mirror Effect moves reciprocatingly in the passage interior edge magnetic line of force in cusped magnetic field, and with entering in passage
The neutral collisions ionization of working medium, caused ion sprays after being accelerated by axial electric field from passage forms thrust.
Current international cusp field plasma thruster is mainly working medium by neutral gas such as xenon, Krypton, its valency
Lattice are expensive, and need single gas storage to carry out the storage of super-pressure for unit, carry out working substance supply for thruster, significantly
The weight of whole propulsion system, cost and complexity are added, reduces overall reliability.In requirements for high precision of new generation
Space mission in, it is necessary to structure is compacter, compact propulsion system.Meanwhile the anode of cusp field thruster is due to electronics
Bombard and generally existing heating problem, because heat loss causes the waste of electric energy, reduce the electric energy profit of integrated propulsion system
With rate.
The content of the invention
Big for system bulk the invention aims to solve existing cusp field thruster storage, complexity is high and anode generates heat
A kind of the problem of causing waste of energy, there is provided a wide range of adjustable plasma microthruster using solid working medium.
A kind of a wide range of adjustable plasma microthruster using solid working medium of the present invention, in ceramic channel bottom
It is provided with storage and supplies composite anode, the storage includes anode, heater strip and wire for composite anode, is provided with and leads in the inner chamber of anode
Hot pin is simultaneously fixed on the top end cover inwall of anode, and n venthole is provided with the top end cover of anode and is connected with inner chamber, and n >=
8;Solid working medium is stored in the inner chamber of anode;
Heating chamber is provided with below the bottom plate of anode, heater strip is provided with heating chamber;
Affixed two fairleads of bottom plate of heating chamber;
Heater strip is realized with extraneous power supply by the wire passed through from fairlead and electrically connected;
Heater strip heats to anode, and heat passes to solid working medium by heat conductive rod, after the heating vaporization of solid working medium
Enter from venthole in ceramic passage.
Preferably, the distribution mode of venthole is circumferentially distributed along the top end cover center of anode.
Preferably, space be present between the bottom of heat conductive rod and the bottom plate of anode.
Preferably, the material of solid working medium is iodine solid.
Preferably, anode uses stainless steel 1Cr18Ni9Ti or 303 stainless steels.
Preferably, fairlead is ambroin sleeve pipe.
Beneficial effects of the present invention:Bunker of the invention by the way that anode to be used as to solid working medium, when being run using thruster
Heat caused by anode come make solid working medium vaporize, and enter passage ionization operation scheme come solve existing for prior art lack
Fall into.
Anode construction is supplied using special storage, solid working medium is directly stored in anode interior, and replaced generally with tungsten filament
Supply type negative electrode, eliminate the gas supply system in propulsion system, greatly reduce system weight and complexity, make propulsion
System is simpler compact, adds the reliability of system.It is meanwhile constant maintaining former cusp field thruster basic structure
Under the premise of, take full advantage of thruster running Anodic caused by heat, reduce practical heater and carry out solid work
The electric energy that matter heating needs, avoids the waste of electric energy.

Embodiment
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to drawings and Examples, and how the present invention is applied whereby
Technological means solves technical problem, and the implementation process for reaching technique effect can fully understand and implement according to this.Need to illustrate
As long as not forming conflict, each embodiment in the present invention and each feature in each embodiment can be combined with each other,
The technical scheme formed is within protection scope of the present invention.
The present invention is the bunker by the way that anode to be used as to solid working medium, when being run using thruster heat caused by anode come
Solid working medium is vaporized, and enters the scheme of passage ionization operation.
Embodiment:
Solid working medium plasma thruster structure of the present invention includes tungsten cathode 1, cusp field thruster is tied substantially
Structure (including Exported Ceramics 2, shell 3, annular magnet 4, passage ceramics 5, magnetic tip pad 6 etc.), storage are for composite anode (including sun
Pole 7, solid working medium 8, heater strip 9 and wire 10 etc.).Wherein heater is sketch, only illustrates installation site and its structure
In heater strip 9 and wire 10.Inner chambers of the place heating chamber 7-3 of heater strip 9 not with anode 7 turns on.
Tungsten cathode 1 is arranged on the exit of passage ceramics 5, and for the bottom of composite anode, annular magnet 4 is three-level knot for storage
Structure, magnetic tip pad 6 is provided between adjacent two-stage.
Storage is supplied in composite anode structure, and there is n venthole 7-1 on the top of anode 7, and the distribution mode of venthole is along center week
To distribution, n >=8.There is heat conductive rod 7-2 at the center of anode 7.Heating chamber 7-3, heating chamber 7-3 and sun are provided with below the bottom plate of anode 7
The inner chamber of pole 7 is not connected, and heater strip 9 is provided with heating chamber 7-3.
Tungsten cathode 1 is arranged on spacecraft lifting force device near exit.Each part of thruster uses spiral shell by mounting hole 11 etc.
Bolt is mutually permanently connected or by respective outer side edges come location and installation.The top of anode 7 is concordant with the third level bottom of magnet 4.
Shown in Fig. 3 is structure of the storage for composite anode, and the top of anode 7 has along the circumferentially equally distributed venthole in center
7-1, inside have heat conductive rod 7-2 to extend into inside solid working medium to optimize heat transfer of the anode to working medium.Solid working medium 8 heats
Entered after vaporization by venthole 7-1 in passage.
Due to the special magnetic field bit-type of the thruster, electronics along the magnetic line of force move when, it is attached to be concentrated in the axis of passage 5
Closely, it is deposited on along the magnetic line of force at the center of anode 7, the central area of anode 7 is produced stronger fever phenomenon.At the center of anode 7
Heat caused by place is transferred to working medium 8 via heat conductive rod 7-2, as shown in Figure 4.
Heating vaporization, thruster are first carried out to solid working medium 8 by the heater strip 8 of the bottom of anode 7 when the thruster is lighted a fire
After normal operation, when anode 7 heating itself is enough, the electrical power of heater strip 9 can be closed or reduce, it is caused in itself using anode
Heat heats vapour working medium 8, maintains the normal operation of thruster.
