Abstract

The invention discloses an ion mobility spectrometry employing an electrospray/corona discharge dual-mode ion source. Switching of two ionization modes is achieved; and the range of a detectable sample is expanded. An ion source is provided with a liquid-cooling component and a heating film component, which are used for rapidly setting the working temperature of a spray needle, so that different requirements of the two ionization modes on the temperature of the spray needle are met; the flow range of an injected sample is expanded; and the detection sensitivity is improved. A trumpet-shaped space is adopted by an electrospray/corona discharge region between the ion source and a drift tube, so that the atomization efficiency on the sample from low-temperature liquid to a gaseous state is improved; the desolvation effect of the sample is improved; and the sample residue is reduced. The drift tube is manufactured by a metal ceramic sealing technology, so that the connection strength is high; the insulativity and the air tightness are good; and installation together with other components is facilitated. The drift tube and a preheating gas circuit are arranged in a heating cylinder with uniform temperature as a whole, so that the phenomenon of migrating ion cluster diffusion caused by non-uniform temperature of blowback air in a migration area is reduced; and the detection resolution capability is improved.
