Its wave band is in the intermediate region between macroscopic electronics and microscopic photonics, so that the spectrum of this wave band can detect physical information and chemical information of matter, and can detect amplitude information and phase information. THz also has many characteristics such as fingerprint absorption, penetration, coherence, transient state and low ionization damage. With the development of ultra-short pulse lasers, the detection capability of THz is further improved. Therefore, in recent years, THz has been widely used in the fields of agricultural product detection, biomedical medicine, safety inspection, etc.

However, in order to ensure the reliability of the data, manual sample turning is usually required, and the spectrum data of different points is measured multiple times. At the same time, in order to avoid the influence of air water molecules on the THz detection results, dry nitrogen is needed to fill the sample bin to make the air humidity less than 5% during sample detection. Therefore, to complete the data collection of a sample, the above tedious process needs to be repeated manually, which seriously affects the experimental efficiency.

[0038] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The air suction device 15 and the air blowing device 18 are fixed on the assembly base 1 and connected with the air suction pipe 16 and the air blowing pipe 19 respectively, the electromagnetic valve II 17 and the electromagnetic valve I 21 are arranged on the air suction pipe 16 and the air blowing pipe 19 respectively to control the on-off, the graphene electric heating film 20 is arranged in the air blowing pipe 19, the air suction pipe 16 and the air blowing pipe 19 converge to the main air pipe 22, the main air pipe 22 is connected with the air rod 24 through the rotary joint 23, the rotary joint 23 is used to prevent the main air pipe 22 from being twisted when the air rod 24 overturns with the driven wheel 14, the air rod 24 passes through the hole of the air rod fixing device 25 in sequence and is welded with the hole to be fixed, so that the air suction head 26 at the end of the air rod 24 is perpendicular to the center of the sample groove 4.

[0039] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the air suction device 15 and the blower device 18 are respectively connected to the main air pipe 22 through the air suction pipe 16 and the blower pipe 19. The main air pipe 22 is connected to the air rod 24 through the rotary joint 23.

At the same time, a graphene electrothermal film (20) is arranged in the blower pipe (19). The suction pipe (16) and the blower pipe (19) converge into the main air pipe (22). The main air pipe (22) is connected to the air rod (24) through a rotary joint (23). This rotary joint (23) is used to prevent the main air pipe (22) from twisting when the air rod (24) is rotated with the driven wheel (14). The air rod (24) passes through the hole of the air rod fixing device (25) in sequence and is welded and fixed to the hole, so that the suction head (26) at the end of the air rod (24) is perpendicular to the center of the sample cell (4).

2. The rotating multi-sample detection component for terahertz spectroscopy according to claim 1, characterized in that: The hollow diameter of the sample slot (4) is 8mm so that the air rod (24) and the air rod fixing device (25) can shuttle and rise from the hollow position. The sample slot (4) can hold a sample piece of 10~15mm.

3. The rotating multi-sample detection component for terahertz spectroscopy according to claim 1, characterized in that, The rotary joint (23) between the main air pipe (22) and the air rod (24) is connected by an SNS NRC series straight rotary joint. The main air pipe (22) is connected to the SNS NRC series straight rotary joint with a compression fitting interface. The air rod (24) is connected to the SNS NRC series straight rotary joint with a threaded engagement. The use of the SNS NRC series straight rotary joint ensures that when the air rod (24) rotates with the driven wheel (14), the main air pipe (22) will not be twisted.

4. The rotating multi-sample detection component for terahertz spectroscopy according to claim 1, characterized in that: The air suction head (26) is made of soft silicone, which can protect fragile samples when suctioning them.

5. The rotating multi-sample detection component for terahertz spectroscopy according to claim 1, characterized in that: The gas rod fixing device (25) has four channels. The gas rod (24) passes horizontally through the first channel and then vertically upward through the second channel. After a U-shaped turn, it passes vertically downward through the third and fourth channels in sequence.

6. The rotating multi-sample detection component for terahertz spectroscopy according to claim 1, characterized in that: The blower system is used to dry the samples. When the blower (18) is working, the solenoid valve II (17) is closed and the solenoid valve I (21) is opened. At the same time, the graphene electric heating film (20) arranged in the blower pipe (19) is heated by electricity. The hot air passes through the blower pipe (19), the main air pipe (22), and the air rod (24) in sequence. The air suction head (26) blows the sample in the sample slot (4) directly below. With the timed rotation of the sample turntable (3), the samples in all sample slots (4) are dried.

7. The rotating multi-sample detection component for terahertz spectroscopy according to claim 1, characterized in that: The screw lifting and flipping device, in conjunction with the suction system, is used to flip the sample. The initial state of the detection assembly is that the lifting platform (10) is located at the highest point of the screw (7), i.e., at the upper limit switch (9). The suction head (26) at the end of the air rod (24) is vertically downwards, directly facing the center of the sample slot (4). If the sample to be tested requires data acquisition from both the front and back sides, the suction device (15) starts working to generate negative pressure. The sample in the sample slot (4) is adsorbed by the suction head (26) on the air rod (24). The flipping motor (11) drives the drive wheel (12) to rotate. (12) The driven wheel (14) and the air rod (24) are driven to rotate by the transmission belt (13); when the air rod (24) rotates 180°, the air suction head (26) is vertically upward, the flip motor (11) stops working, the lead screw motor (6) starts working, and drives the lead screw (7) to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the copper nut (27) that is engaged with the lead screw thread moves downward along the lead screw (7) together with the lifting platform (10) until the lifting platform (10) contacts the lower limit switch (8), the lead screw motor (6) stops working, the air suction device (15) stops working, and the sample is removed from the lower limit switch. The air rod (24) is gently placed into the sample slot (4) to complete the flipping of a single sample; when the sample placement turntable (3) rotates to the next sample slot (4), the air suction device (15) starts to work to generate negative pressure, and the lead screw motor (6) works to drive the lead screw (7) to rotate in the forward direction, so that the copper nut (27) that is engaged with the lead screw thread moves upward along the lead screw (7) together with the lifting platform (10). When the air rod (24) passes through the sample slot (4) upward, it is adsorbed by the air suction head (26) and rises together until the lifting platform (10) contacts the upper limit switch (9), and the lead screw... When the motor (6) stops working, the flipping motor (11) starts working, driving the drive wheel (12) to rotate. The drive wheel (12) drives the driven wheel (14) and the air rod (24) to rotate through the transmission belt (13). When the air rod (24) rotates 180°, the air suction head (26) is vertically downward. The flipping motor (11) stops working, and the air suction device (15) stops working. Thus, the sample is desorbed from the air suction head (26) and placed in the sample slot (4), completing the flipping of the second sample. Then, the above steps are repeated to complete the flipping of all samples in the sample slot (4).
