Connect the outer port of the three-way joint (42) to the test port of the glow discharge spectrometer, connect the middle port of the three-way joint (42) to the interface of the vacuum pump, and turn on the vacuum pump to pump vacuum. Open the high-vacuum gate valve (41), pull the push rod (32) backward. The push rod (32) contracts backward in the push rod sleeve (33). The front connecting seat (35) drives the front end of the bellows (31) to shorten backward. The three-way joint (42) moves backward with the bellows (31), and the sample tray (10) extends out from the three-way joint (42) and appears, so that the sample tray (10) is connected to the test port of the glow discharge spectrometer. Connect the cooling water inlet pipe (11) and the cooling water return pipe (12) to the cooling water respectively, and start the cooling water circulation. Turn on the glow discharge spectrometer and start testing one of the samples on the sample tray (10). Drive the rotation shaft (22) to rotate through the rotating head (21), and then rotate the sample tray (10) to align the next sample on the sample tray (10) with the measurement port of the spectrometer, completing the test of the second sample; sequentially complete the test of the third sample until all samples are tested. After the glow discharge spectrometer finishes testing all samples, push the push rod (32) forward. The push rod (32) extends forward within the push rod sleeve (33), and the front connecting seat (35) drives the front end of the bellows (31) to extend forward. The three-way joint (42) moves forward with the bellows (31) until the sample tray (10) is completely retracted into the three-way joint (42). Then close the high-vacuum gate valve (41), turn off the vacuum pump, and turn off the cooling water circulation. Open the high-vacuum gate valve (41), pull the push rod (32) backward. The push rod (32) contracts backward within the push rod sleeve (33), and the front connecting seat (35) drives the front end of the bellows (31) to shorten backward. The three-way joint (42) moves backward with the bellows (31), and the sample tray (10) extends out of the three-way joint (42) and appears. Then remove the sample tray (10). Push the push rod (32) forward. The push rod (32) extends forward within the push rod sleeve (33), and the front connecting seat (35) drives the front end of the bellows (31) to extend forward. The three-way joint (42) moves forward with the bellows (31) until the sample tray (10) is completely retracted into the three-way joint (42), making the sample tray (10) lower than the high-vacuum gate valve (41), and then close the high-vacuum gate valve (41).
