An electrode connection structure comprising:
- a first member comprising a first electrode unit that includes first electrodes that define first concentric circles about a center axis, the first electrodes being spaced apart from one another in a radial direction;
- and
- a second member comprising a plurality of second electrode units arranged along second concentric circles around the center axis,
- wherein the second electrode units include second electrodes that are spaced apart from one another in the radial direction,
- wherein the first member and the second member include thread portions that are disposed radially outward relative to the first electrodes and the second electrodes, respectively, and that threadedly engaged with each other to thereby electrically connect the first electrodes to the second electrodes, and
- wherein each of the second electrodes is a spring contact that has a needle shape that extends in an axial direction and is configured to move toward and away from the first electrodes in the axial direction.
