Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas pretreatment of mass spectrometer, more particularly, to a pretreatment device and system of gas sample of mass spectrometer. BACKGROUND
[0002] The pretreatment of the gas sample for the mass spectrometer instrument used for precise detection has high requirements, and the purity of the gas sample is particularly important. The existing pretreatment principle of the gas sample is to use different stages of high temperature and ultra-low temperature to repeatedly capture adsorption and purge the gas sample according to the difference between the solubility point and the boiling point of the gas, so as to remove the non-detection object and leave enough target detection gas. However, in this process, the pretreatment device of the gas sample has high requirements for heating and refrigeration, the range of cold and hot change is large, and the speed of temperature regulation is required to be fast enough to realize the effective separation of the target detection gas in the gas sample. However, in the prior art, the structure of the pretreatment device is complex, and the temperature rising and falling speed is slow, which leads to low efficiency of the pretreatment process.
[0003] The existing pretreatment device structure generally includes a refrigeration part, a temperature guide pipe, a glass tube, a heating wire, a ceramic layer and a containing tube which are nested together from the outside to the inside. The refrigeration part is wound on the surface of the temperature guide pipe to form a refrigeration structure, and the heating wire is wound on the ceramic tube to form a heating structure, and the glass tube separates the refrigeration structure and the heating structure. In order to facilitate assembly, a certain gap is left between adjacent pipe bodies. However, this design causes the heat of the heating wire to not only need to pass through the ceramic tube, but also need to pass through the air layer to be transmitted to the containing tube in the heating process, and the cooling needs to pass through multiple air layers, glass tubes and heating structures to be transmitted to the containing tube. This leads to a very long temperature rising and falling cycle, and the single pretreatment cycle is close to 1 hour. In order to meet the detection requirements, the pretreatment is usually repeated without interruption for 24 hours a day, which has large power consumption. Moreover, due to the slow temperature rising and falling speed, the separation efficiency of the detection object is low, and the effect is not good. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The drawings of the application are only used for illustrative description and cannot be understood as the limitation of the application. In order to better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment is a pretreatment device for a mass spectrometer gas sample, comprising a tube body 100, a gas channel 110 is arranged in the tube body 100, a temperature control section 101 is arranged in the middle of the tube body 100, and connecting sections 102 are arranged at both ends of the temperature control section 101; an energized section 103 is arranged outside the tube body 100 between the connecting section 102 and the temperature control section 101, the energized section 103 is used to connect an external power supply to the tube body 100 to make the tube body 100 heat up; and a refrigeration structure 200 is arranged on the surface of the temperature control section 101. The tube body 100 is used to accommodate the gas sample; the temperature control section 101 is used to heat the gas sample in the tube body 100 at a high temperature and extract the detected object by ultra-low temperature condensation; the connecting section 102 is used to connect the tube body 100 with a pipeline for external gas sample delivery; the energized section 103 is used to connect an external power supply to the tube body 100 to make the tube body 100 heat up; and the refrigeration structure 200 is used to refrigerate the temperature control section 101.
[0024] The tube body 100 is made of an electrically conductive and heat-generating material, or at least the temperature control section 101 is made of an electrically conductive and heat-generating material. The direct heating design of the tube body 100 overturns the existing multi-layer complex structure, and compared with the existing multi-layer design, it has a breakthrough in achieving high-speed heating, thereby improving the efficiency of impurity separation, greatly saving time, and enabling low-content components that were previously difficult to extract to be separated and detected. This design fully considers the subsequent detection conditions of the mass spectrometer gas sample, and since it does not rely on the heat transfer between the heating source and the tube body 100 or the heat conductivity between them, the heating speed is greatly improved, and the heating is uniform while the heating speed is improved.
[0025] The tube body 100 is made of stainless steel, and one side of the tube body 100 that is used to contact the gas sample is provided with a passivation layer. The passivation layer is used to form a contact protection layer with stable structure on the inner surface of the tube body 100.
[0026] The tube body 100 made of stainless steel utilizes the physical properties of the material on the one hand. As a slender and straight structure, the tube body 100 has high strength requirements, and the use of stainless steel material can avoid deformation and pressure resistance problems, and the hardness and cutting performance of stainless steel are good, which guarantees the precision requirements. On the other hand, the material has very small impurity release to the gas. As a gas sample cavity, the stainless steel material has good stability under the action of high and low temperatures required for pretreatment, and can cooperate with direct electric heating. The arrangement of the passivation layer further improves the stability of the tube body 100, effectively avoiding the pollution of the tube body 100 to the gas sample.
[0027] At least the surface of the temperature control section 101 is provided with a ceramic layer 120 attached thereto. The ceramic layer 120 is used to form insulation on part of the surface of the tube body 100.
[0028] By setting the ceramic layer 120 on the surface of the temperature control section 101, insulation is formed between the refrigeration structure 200 and the pipe body 100, avoiding the influence of electric heating on the refrigeration structure 200. This setting takes advantage of the good thermal stability of the ceramic layer 120, which can adapt to high and low temperature use environment, and has a certain rigidity. The required matching precision of the ceramic pipe is solved by the attachment method, and further provides a certain heat insulation effect for the refrigeration structure 200.
[0029] The connecting section 102 is provided with a first connecting piece 300, the first connecting piece 300 is made of polyimide material, and the pipe body 100 is connected with the external sample inlet channel through the first connecting piece 300. The first connecting piece 300 is used for connecting the pipe body 100 and the external gas sample inlet channel;
[0030] Unlike traditional stainless steel joints and PEEK joints, the joint made of polyimide material not only meets the demand of high temperature resistance, but also meets the demand of insulation. This makes the change of the pipe body 100 caused by direct electric heating of the pipe body 100 be completely blocked by the first connecting piece 300, avoiding the influence on the external gas sample input connection. Since the first connecting piece 300 has high sealing requirements, the joint made of whole polyimide material makes the sealing effect between the pipe body 100 and the external gas sample input connection stable. More importantly, the polyimide material can effectively control the pollution to the gas sample and the precipitation of its own substances, and its performance is stable. The first connecting piece 300 made of polyimide material is also a breakthrough in the use of mass spectrometer.
[0031] As shown in Figure 3 The electric heating section 103 and the temperature control section 101 are provided with a clamping section 104, and the clamping section 104 is provided with a second connecting piece 400; the refrigeration structure 200 layer includes a copper pipe 210 sleeved outside the temperature control section 101 and a refrigeration capillary pipe arranged on the copper pipe 210; one end of the second connecting piece 400 is connected with the copper pipe 210, and the other end is connected with the clamping section 104, so that the pipe body 100 and the copper pipe 210 are provided with an annular separation space 500 separating the pipe body 100 and the copper pipe 210. The clamping section 104 is used for clamping the second connecting piece 400, the refrigeration capillary pipe is used for cooling the temperature control section 101, the copper pipe 210 is used for forming temperature conduction and installing the refrigeration capillary pipe, the second connecting piece 400 is used for preventing the direct contact between the refrigeration structure 200 and the pipe body 100, and the annular separation space 500 is used for improving the cooperation between the pipe body 100 and the refrigeration structure 200.
[0032] The refrigeration structure 200 sleeved outside the pipe body 100 can quickly cool the pipe body 100 in a wide range, improving the refrigeration efficiency; the cooperation of the refrigeration capillary and the copper pipe 210 makes the low-temperature acting surface larger, and the structure is simple and the conductivity is good. The refrigeration structure 200 is fixed on the surface of the pipe body 100 through the second connecting piece 400, which helps to isolate the damage of the high-thermal-conductivity pipe body 100 to the copper pipe 210 and the refrigeration capillary, and plays an insulating and heat-insulating role. The setting of the annular separation space not only reduces the influence of the heat generated by the pipe body 100 on the refrigeration structure 200, but also provides a tolerance interval for the processing size error of the pipe body 100. Through the annular separation space 500, the cooperation problem caused by the local size difference or slight bending of the pipe body 100 can be effectively avoided, so that the assembly difficulty between the refrigeration structure 200 and the pipe body 100 is reduced.
[0033] The second connecting piece 400 is made of PEEK material, the clamping section 104 is provided with a high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410, and the second connecting piece 400 is connected with the clamping section 104 through the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer.
[0034] The use of PEEK material helps to reduce the cost, and the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 is used to isolate the influence of the high temperature of the pipe body 100 on the second connecting piece 400;
[0035] Unlike traditional heating design, the refrigeration structure 200 will be affected by electricity and heat under the condition of power heating of the pipe body 100. Although the polyimide material joint can solve the two problems at the same time, the cost of the polyimide material is relatively high. Since the function of the second connecting piece 400 is to fix the refrigeration structure 200, the demand for sealing is reduced. The connecting piece made of PEEK material meets the demand for insulation, and the design of the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 meets the demand for heat insulation. The combination of the two can greatly reduce the cost and meet the demand for actual use.
[0036] The annular separation space 500 extends into the second connecting piece 400 and is connected with one end of the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 close to the temperature control section 101; the other end of the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 extends out of the other end of the second connecting piece 400 away from the temperature control section 101.
[0037] The annular separation space 500 extends into the second connecting piece 400, ensuring complete separation of the copper pipe 210 and the pipe body 100, and improving safety during use; and the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 will deform when clamping the pipe body 100 in the second connecting piece 400. Extending out of the second connecting piece 400 causes the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 to have different sizes inside and outside the second connecting piece 400, thereby preventing the second connecting piece 400 from moving along the axial sides while being clamped, and increasing the fixing effect on the second connecting piece 400 and the refrigeration structure 200.
[0038] The ceramic layer 120 extends to the clamping section 104 and protrudes from the side of the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 away from the temperature control section 101, the thickness of the ceramic layer 120 is less than the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410, and the thickness of the annular separation space 500 is 0.5% to 1% of the length of the pipe body 100.
[0039] The extension of the ceramic layer 120 in combination with the high-temperature-resistant heat-resistant layer 410 forms better heat insulation and insulation effect on the second connecting piece 400, and the thickness limitation of the ceramic layer 120 and the thickness limitation of the annular separation space 500 help to control the overall volume on the one hand, and reduce heat loss during heating on the other hand, and are also important conditions to ensure refrigeration effect. The limitation of the two produces good cooperation effect between each other.

The refrigeration capillary pipe is connected with a refrigeration device outside the refrigeration capillary pipe and is wound on the surface of the copper pipe 210 to form a dense arrangement. The refrigeration capillary pipe forms a cover of the whole temperature control section 101 through the copper pipe 210, and the acting surface of the refrigeration structure 200 on the temperature control section 101 is greatly improved. The clamping section 104 is respectively arranged on both sides of the temperature control section 101, the second connector 400 is respectively arranged on both sides of the temperature control section 101, and the two ends of the copper pipe 210 are respectively connected with the temperature control section 101 but not in contact with the pipe body 100.

At the same time, due to the simplification of the intermediate layer, the cooling speed is also greatly improved, thereby effectively reducing the time required for one cycle in the past and improving the detection efficiency. Under the action of the gas filtering device, the water and part of the conductive particles affected by ionization are filtered and adsorbed, and a relatively pure gas sample is obtained. Then, through the pretreatment device, the gas sample is purged at high temperature and adsorbed at low temperature. By utilizing the difference between the melting point and boiling point of various impurities in the gas sample and the sample to be detected, the detection object to be collected is separated, and the non-detection object is removed.
[0051] The surface of the temperature control section 101 is provided with a ceramic layer 120, and the detection end of the temperature measuring device is connected with the surface of the ceramic layer 120. The temperature measuring device is arranged on the surface of the ceramic layer 120, which helps to optimize the use environment of the temperature measuring device, thereby reducing the cost and prolonging the service life of the temperature measuring device. On the other hand, it helps to accurately measure to meet the problem of rapid heating of the conductive heating and not easy to control. Specifically, the temperature measuring device is adhered to the surface of the ceramic layer 120. The refrigeration structure 200 can be a whole machine compressor refrigeration capillary tube, which surrounds the outer layer refrigeration copper pipe 210 to refrigerate, and the outer layer refrigeration copper pipe 210 absorbs heat by cooling, and forms convection and radiation through the air in the annular separation space 500 to cool the pipe body 100 made of stainless steel. The refrigeration structure 200 is fixed on the pipe body 100 through the high-temperature resistant heat-resistant layer 410 formed by the high-temperature adhesive tape at both ends and the second connecting piece 400 formed by the PEEK sealing joint.
[0052] In actual use, one complete cycle is required for one pretreatment. First, the upper half cycle pretreatment is carried out to contact and conductively cool the pipe body 100 as a sample inlet pipe. The temperature of the pipe body 100 needs to reach a preset ultra-low temperature value, generally-160 DEG C. The temperature is maintained to continuously capture and adsorb various solid VOC components in the gas sample. After the adsorption reaches the required amount of detection material in the preset adsorption time period, the gas sample is stopped, and the oxygen and nitrogen in the pipe body 100 are removed by back blowing. Then the lower half cycle is carried out to directly heat the pipe body 100 by electrification to rapidly heat the pipe body 100, so as to rapidly gasify various solid VOCs in the pipe body 100, meet the sample inlet requirement of the rear-end testing instrument, and complete the cold-heat exchange cycle sampling device closed loop cycle. The above process is repeated to prepare the gas sample.

Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
