The assembling structure of a main cathode applied to a thruster according to claim 5, wherein a clamping member is provided at a side of the other end of the connecting portion, which is away from the positioning member, and the other end of the connecting portion is clamped between the clamping member and the positioning member.
9. The assembling structure of a main cathode applied to a thruster according to claim 8, wherein the clamping member and the positioning member are both of an elastic structure, and the elastic structure is in an interference fit in the slot.
10. An assembling method of an assembling structure of a main cathode applied to a thruster is characterized by comprising the following steps of:
installing a connecting base: sleeving a connecting base ring at an opening of a discharge chamber of the thruster, and connecting the connecting base ring with the discharge chamber of the thruster in a sealing manner through a connecting flange;
installing a positioning piece: inserting each positioning piece into the corresponding slot and tightly abutting against the connecting flange;
installing a main cathode: sleeving an insulating base on the main cathode, and installing the lapping pieces on the outer peripheral side of the insulating base at positions corresponding to the grooves;
installing an insulating base: inserting the insulating base provided with the main cathode into the connecting base, separating the main cathode from the connecting base through the insulating base, and enabling the lap joint pieces to penetrate through the corresponding slots and lap joint the lap joint pieces on the positioning pieces;
replacing the positioning piece: after a group of experiments are completed, the insulating base is detached, and after the positioning pieces with other lengths are replaced, the insulating base is reinstalled, and then the next group of experiments are performed.
