[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0054] The ion transmission device adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the ion transmission device 102 communicates with the controller 104. The controller 104 can obtain the ion beam imaging image output by the ion transmission device 102; the ion beam imaging image refers to the image of the incident ions formed on the fluorescent screen under the action of the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device 102; then, iteratively executing the target fitness value based on the ion beam imaging image, adjusting the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device 102 according to the target fitness value, and obtaining the ion beam imaging image generated under the action of the adjusted input electrical parameters until the end condition is met; the target fitness value is used to represent the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area of ​​the ion beam imaging image; the controller 104 adjusts the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device 102 to the target electrical parameters, which are the input electrical parameters of the ion beam imaging image corresponding to the maximum target fitness value. By adjusting the input electrical parameters with the highest degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area as the updated electrical parameters, the updated electrical parameters are applied to subsequent ion transmission control, and online adjustment is performed, thereby improving the ion focusing degree while ensuring transmission efficiency.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for adjusting an ion transmission device is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The controller in the example is used to illustrate the following steps:

[0056] S202, acquiring an ion beam imaging image; the ion beam imaging image refers to an image formed on a fluorescent screen by incident ions under the action of input electrical parameters of an ion transmission device.

[0057] Among them, the electrical parameters can refer to the input voltages required by the various components in the ion transmission device, that is, they can refer to the combination parameters composed of different input voltages; the electrical parameters can also refer to the combination composed of input parameters of different dimensions, such as the combination composed of the voltage, current, inductance and other parameters of the devices in the ion transmission device. For each set of different electrical parameter inputs, after the ion beam passes through the ion transmission device, an ion beam imaging image corresponding to its input electrical parameters will be formed on the fluorescent screen. For example, under the action of a certain input electrical parameter, an ion beam imaging image corresponding to the input electrical parameter will be formed on the fluorescent screen. Figure 3a The ion beam imaging image shown in FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2 ; and under the action of another input electrical parameter, the image shown in FIG. 2 is formed on the fluorescent screen. Figure 3b The ion beam imaging image shown is shown. The input electrical parameters can refer to randomly initialized electrical parameters or electrical parameters after iterative update.

[0058] S204, iteratively executes the target fitness value based on the ion beam imaging image, adjusts the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device according to the target fitness value, and obtains the ion beam imaging image generated under the action of the adjusted input electrical parameters until the end condition is met; the target fitness value is used to characterize the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area of ​​the ion beam imaging image.

[0059] The target adaptation value is used to characterize the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area in the above ion beam imaging image. Specifically, it can refer to the proportion of the actual imaging area in the target area. For example, Figure 3a As shown, the target imaging area refers to the area enclosed by rectangle 302; the actual imaging area refers to the imaging spot of the ion beam on the fluorescent screen, such as area 304 composed of multiple spots; thus, the target fitness value can be obtained based on the proportion of area 304 composed of the imaging spots in the target area 302. Alternatively, the target fitness value can refer to the number of ions in the actual imaging area that fall in the target imaging area. The target fitness value can also refer to the set of distances from the center of each imaging spot in the actual imaging area to the center of the target imaging area. The end condition can refer to reaching a preset number of iterations, where the preset number of iterations can be set according to the actual parameter optimization accuracy requirements.

[0060] Specifically, the target fitness value is determined based on the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area in the ion beam imaging image corresponding to different electrical parameters, and when the termination condition is not met, the particle swarm algorithm is used to iteratively update the input electrical parameters, and the ion beam imaging image corresponding to the updated electrical parameters is continuously acquired, thereby continuously acquiring the target fitness value under different input electrical parameters until the termination condition is met. It should be noted that the particle swarm algorithm used when updating the input electrical parameters is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, when iteratively updating the parameters, the iterative algorithm parameters can be adjusted according to the adjustable accuracy and adjustable range of the ion transmission device parameters, for example, to adjust the termination condition.

[0061] S206 , adjusting the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device to target electrical parameters, where the target electrical parameters are electrical parameters of the ion beam imaging image corresponding to the maximum target adaptation value.

[0062] Among them, the maximum target adaptation value determined through the above steps represents that in the ion beam imaging image, the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area is the greatest, that is, under the action of the electrical parameters corresponding to the maximum target adaptation value, the ion transmission device has the best transmission efficiency and focusing effect on the ion beam.

[0063] In the above embodiment, ion beam imaging images formed when the electrical parameters of the input ion transmission device are different are obtained, and a target fitness value reflecting the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area is determined based on the ion beam imaging image to understand the transmission efficiency and focusing effect of the ion beam. The input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device are adjusted based on the transmission efficiency and focusing effect reflected by the target fitness value, and an ion beam imaging image of the ion transmission device under the adjusted input electrical parameters is obtained. The above process is repeated until an end condition is met. Then, from the multiple target fitness values ​​obtained, the electrical parameters of the ion beam imaging image corresponding to the maximum target fitness value are selected as the target electrical parameters, and the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device are adjusted to the target electrical parameters, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and focusing effect of the ion transmission device.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the target imaging area includes a first target area and a second target area, and the second target area is located within the first target area; determining the target adaptation value according to the ion beam imaging image includes:

[0065] S402: Determine a first adaptation value according to the number of ions located in the first target area.

[0066] The first target area may refer to the entire target imaging area, and the second target area may refer to a smaller area within the first target area. In a specific embodiment, the second target area may refer to an area with the center of the first target area as the center and the radius of the ion imaging spot as the radius. The meaning represented by the first fitness value is the same as the meaning represented by the above-mentioned target fitness value, but the corresponding area is the first target area, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] Specifically, as described in the above embodiment, the target adaptation value may refer to the number of ions in the actual imaging area that fall in the target imaging area. By comparing the number of ions in the target imaging area with the number of ions initially input into the ion transmission device, and obtaining a first adaptation value based on the comparison result, the transmission efficiency of the ion transmission device under the input parameters can be intuitively known.

[0068] S404 : When the first fitness value is greater than the first preset threshold, determine a target fitness value according to the number of ions located in the second target area.

[0069] The first preset threshold is a minimum limit for characterizing the ion transmission efficiency of the ion transmission device. Specifically, if the threshold is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the ion transmission efficiency of the ion transmission device, under the influence of the input electrical parameters, no longer meets the device's operational accuracy requirements. It should be noted that the first preset threshold can be set based on actual accuracy requirements.

[0070] Specifically, when the first fitness value is greater than the first preset threshold, that is, after ensuring that the transmission efficiency of the ion transmission device meets certain requirements, the target fitness value is further determined based on the number of ions in a smaller second target area falling within the first target area, so as to ensure that the determined target fitness value can more accurately reflect the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the ion transmission device.

[0071] In the above embodiment, a first fitness value is first determined based on the number of ions in a first target region within the target imaging area. If the first fitness value is greater than a first preset threshold, that is, if the transmission efficiency of the ion transmission device is ensured to meet certain requirements, a target fitness value is further determined based on the number of ions in a second target region. This ensures that the determined target fitness value more accurately reflects the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the ion transmission device.

[0072] In one embodiment, Figure 5As shown, the ion beam imaging image includes a first ion beam imaging image and a second ion beam imaging image. The first ion beam imaging image is an image of the ion beam exit position in the transmission region of the ion transmission device, and the second ion beam imaging image is an image of the ion beam exit position in the modulation region of the ion transmission device. Step S204 of determining the target adaptation value based on the ion beam imaging image includes:

[0073] S502: Determine a second adaptation value according to the first ion beam imaging image.

[0074] S504: Determine a third adaptation value according to the second ion beam imaging image.

[0075] The meanings represented by the second and third fitness values ​​are similar to those of the target fitness value in the above-mentioned embodiment. It should be emphasized that the second fitness value represents the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area when the ion beam is imaged at the exit position of the transmission area, that is, it reflects the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the transmission area of ​​the ion transmission device; the third fitness value represents the degree of correlation between the actual imaging area and the target imaging area when the ion beam is imaged at the exit position of the modulation area, that is, it reflects the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the modulation area of ​​the ion transmission device. Furthermore, the specific implementation methods for determining the second and third fitness values ​​in the above-mentioned steps can also refer to the specific methods for determining the target fitness value in the above-mentioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] S506: When the third fitness value is greater than or equal to the second fitness value, select the third fitness value as the target fitness value.

[0077] Specifically, the second fitness value obtained based on the ion beam exit position of the transmission zone of the ion transmission device is compared with the third fitness value obtained based on the ion beam exit position of the modulation zone of the ion transmission device. When the third fitness value is greater than or equal to the second fitness value, that is, after passing through the modulation zone, the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the ion beam are increased, and the third fitness value at this time is determined as the target fitness value, so that the determined electrical parameters can better improve the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the ion transmission device.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the target imaging area of ​​the modulation region of the ion transmission device includes a first target area and a second target area, and the second target area is located within the first target area; determining the third adaptation value according to the second ion beam imaging image includes:

[0079] S602: Determine a fourth adaptation value according to the number of ions located in the first target area.

[0080] S604 : When the fourth fitness value is greater than the second preset threshold, determine a third fitness value according to the number of ions located in the second target area.

[0081] Among them, the meaning represented by the fourth fitness value is similar to the meaning represented by the first fitness value in the above embodiment, and the meaning represented by the second preset threshold is similar to the meaning represented by the first preset threshold in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the fourth fitness value is determined based on the first target area of ​​the target imaging area of ​​the modulation zone of the ion transmission device, and then the third fitness value is determined when the fourth fitness value is greater than the second preset threshold value, so that the determined third fitness value can better reflect the transmission efficiency and focusing degree of the modulation zone in the ion transmission device.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0084] S508 : When the third fitness value is smaller than the second fitness value, the process proceeds to the step of acquiring an ion beam imaging image.

[0085] When the third fitness value is smaller than the second fitness value, it indicates that the ion beam is in a divergent state after passing through the modulation area of ​​the ion transmission device, that is, the third fitness value at this time is not suitable as the target fitness value. The third fitness value at this time is discarded and the step of acquiring the ion beam imaging image is re-entered to further ensure that the determined target fitness value is more suitable for adjusting the ion transmission device.

[0086] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above are displayed in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed and completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of steps or stages in other steps.

[0087] In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, an ion transport device adjustment system is provided, comprising: an ion transport device 102 and a controller 104. The ion transport device 102 is configured to cause incident ions to form an ion beam imaging image on a fluorescent screen under the influence of input electrical parameters; the controller 104 is connected to the ion transport device 102 and configured to execute the steps of the ion transport device adjustment method of the above embodiment to achieve the corresponding beneficial effects of the above method embodiment.

[0088] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the ion transport device adjustment system further includes an imaging device 702. The imaging device 702 is disposed on the back side of the fluorescent screen that receives incident ions. The imaging device 702 is used to acquire an ion beam imaging image and transmit the image to the controller 104 to execute the steps of the ion transport device adjustment method in the above embodiment.

[0089] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the ion transmission device includes a movable device 802. The movable device 802 is mechanically connected to the fluorescent screen, and the movable device 802 is used to drive the fluorescent screen to move to the ion beam exit position of the ion transmission region of the ion transmission device and the ion beam exit position of the ion transmission region of the ion transmission device at different times to obtain ion beam imaging images;

[0090] Among them, the ion beam imaging image includes a first ion beam imaging image and a second ion beam imaging image. The first ion beam imaging image is an image of the ion beam emission position in the transmission area of ​​the ion transmission device, and the second ion beam imaging image is an image of the ion beam emission position in the modulation area of ​​the ion transmission device.

[0091] The movement of the fluorescent screen can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as micro-motor drive, or guide rail, or rod wire conduction. For example, one end of the fluorescent screen is fixedly connected to the connecting member, and the other end of the connecting member is movably connected to the guide rail of the movable device 802, and a micro-motor is provided on the guide rail. Under the control of the controller 104, the micro-motor drives the connecting member to move on the guide rail, and the connecting member drives the fluorescent screen to move, thereby realizing imaging at the ion beam exit position in the transmission area and the ion beam exit position in the modulation area respectively. As described in the above embodiment, for the introduction of adjusting the input electrical parameters of the ion transmission device based on the first ion beam imaging image and the second ion beam imaging image, it can be seen that by performing ion beam imaging images at different positions, the focusing degree can be further improved by adjusting the input electrical parameters. The implementation process described in the above method embodiment will not be repeated here, but those skilled in the art should understand the implementation process of the ion transmission device adjustment system provided in the embodiment of the present application based on the above records.

[0092] In one embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the ion transmission device further includes: a radio frequency quadrupole 804, an electrostatic quadrupole 806, a one-dimensional lens 808, a modulation accelerator 810, and a fluorescent screen 812.

[0093] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the modulation acceleration device 810 further includes a repeller plate 8102 , which is placed in the modulation region and is used to push ions into the mass analyzer under the action of the pulse voltage.

[0094] The selection of components such as the radio frequency quadrupole 804 in the ion transmission device is not limited here. Figure 8 The specific structure and the spacing distances between different parts given in the specification do not limit the ion transmission device provided in the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the ion transmission devices that can realize the above-mentioned ion transmission path are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0095] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present application further provide an ion transport device adjustment device for implementing the aforementioned ion transport device adjustment method. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the aforementioned method. Therefore, the specific limitations of one or more embodiments of the ion transport device adjustment device provided below can be found in the aforementioned limitations of the ion transport device adjustment method and will not be further elaborated here.
