The door position switch sensing sensor transmits the switch signal of the inspection door to the controller, and the controller controls the laser analysis component according to the switch signal.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The feeding assembly 1 is used for automatic feeding of coal samples. The feeding assembly 1 includes a feeding slide 101, a coal sample push block 102, a limiting slide 103, a coal sample screw 104, a coal sample stepping motor 105 and a photoelectric switch sensor 106. The controller is electrically connected to the coal sample stepping motor 105 to control the action of the coal sample stepping motor. The feeding slide 101 is set obliquely downward. The coal sample is placed on the upper end of the feeding slide 101 and can slide down along the feeding slide under the action of its own weight. The coal sample push block 102 is threadedly connected to the coal sample screw 104 and can move back and forth along the coal sample screw 104. The coal sample stepping motor 105 is used to drive the coal sample screw 104 to rotate, thereby driving the coal sample push block 102 to move along the limiting slide 103. In the initial stage, the coal sample push block 102 moves to the tail end of the loading chute 101, and the coal sample enters the loading chute 101. Under the action of its own weight, the coal sample slides along the loading chute 101 to the coal sample push block 102, and the photoelectric switch sensor 106 detects the presence of coal cakes on the coal sample push block 102, and sends the detection information to the controller. The controller controls the coal sample stepper motor 105 to operate, and the coal sample stepper motor 105 drives the coal sample screw 104 to rotate. Driven by the coal sample screw, the coal sample push block 102 moves along the limiting slide groove to the coal sample positioning assembly.

[0035] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the coal sample positioning assembly 2 is connected to the feeding assembly 1, and the coal sample to be detected is placed on the coal sample positioning assembly 2.

The spring 205 is sleeved on the telescopic shaft 203, and one end of the spring 205 abuts against the lower surface of the coal sample pressing plate 202 and the other end abuts against the surface of the connecting column 204. When the coal sample in place detection sensor 206 detects a signal, the coal sample push block 102 returns to the initial position, and the coal sample pressing plate 202 presses the coal sample 8 under the elastic force of the spring 205, and then the three-dimensional moving assembly drives the coal sample positioning assembly to move to the detection position.

The plasma gas shield assembly 4 includes a plasma shield 401 that can stabilize plasma and a plasma shield cylinder 402 that drives the plasma shield to move along the Z-axis direction. The plasma shield cylinder 402 is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the movement of the plasma shield cylinder 402 so that the plasma shield 401 covers the detection surface of the coal sample.

[0038] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the laser analysis component 5 includes a pulse laser 501, a spectroscopic system 502, an optical focusing component 503, a fiber optic probe 504 and a spectrometer 505.

[0040] Working process:

[0041] The docking equipment of the previous station delivers the coal sample 8 to the head end of the feeding chute of the feeding assembly 1 or the operator manually delivers the coal sample 8 to the head end of the feeding chute of the feeding assembly 1. In the initial stage, the coal sample push block 102 moves to the tail end of the feeding chute 101, and the coal sample enters the feeding chute 101. Under the action of its own weight, the coal sample slides along the feeding chute 101 to the coal sample push block 102. The laser photoelectric switch sensor 106 detects the presence of coal cakes on the coal sample push block 102 and sends the detection information to the controller. The controller controls the coal sample step The stepping motor 105 is in motion, and the coal sample stepping motor 105 drives the coal sample screw 104 to rotate. Driven by the coal sample screw, the coal sample push block 102 moves along the limit slide groove and along the limit groove of the coal sample upper limit plate 201 to the coal sample top pressure plate 202 of the coal sample positioning assembly; when the coal sample in-place detection sensor 206 detects a signal, the coal sample push block 102 returns to the initial position, and the coal sample top pressure plate 202 presses the coal sample 8 under the elastic force of the spring 205, and then the three-dimensional moving assembly drives the coal sample positioning assembly to move to the detection position. The controller controls the movement of the plasma shield cylinder 402 so that the plasma shield 401 covers the detection surface of the coal sample; the pulse laser 501 emits a laser, and the three-dimensional moving component drives the coal sample 8 on the coal sample positioning component 2 to move on the XY plane, so that the pulse laser 501 outputs a laser that is focused on the surface of the coal sample through the spectroscopic system 502 and the optical focusing component 503 to form a plurality of matrix points, each of which is a sampling point, and luminous plasma is generated on the surface of the coal sample. In this process, the optical fiber probe 504 on the upper side transmits the optical information to the sensitive spectrometer 505 for detection. The spectrometer 505 transmits the spectral response signal to the controller and analyzes the radiation spectrum to obtain the type and concentration of the elements in the material, wherein the type is determined by the wavelength of the radiation spectrum, and the concentration is determined by the intensity of the peak value of the radiation spectrum. After the inspection is completed, the three-dimensional moving component 3 drives the coal sample positioning component 2 to the discard position, and then the controller controls the discard cylinder 602 to move. The discard cylinder 602 pushes the inspected coal sample 8 into the discard channel 603 and slides into the discard collection box 604. Finally, each component returns to its original position and the process is repeated when the next coal sample is placed.
