Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometers, in particular to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with an automatic sampling structure. Background Art

[0002] The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer is used to dissolve the substance to be tested, set the volume, and then atomize the raw material into the detection device after sampling through the atomization device. The atomized raw material particles are ionized by high-temperature heating, and the information on the internal components of the raw material can be obtained after spectral analysis inside the analysis chamber;

[0003] When the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer is taking samples, technicians need to repeatedly send samples of different concentrations into the atomization device in turn and wait for subsequent testing. This greatly increases the difficulty of the technician's work and requires repeated sampling operations, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the detection efficiency.

[0004] Reference is made to a sample injection device for an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer disclosed in the patent with publication number CN113451103B. The sample injection device controls a driven wheel device to make intermittent reciprocating motion through an active wheel device, so that a slide device located on the side controls a sampling device to realize cyclic intermittent control of in, out, and in sampling. At the same time, a cylinder installed on the top of the sampling device cooperates with a piston to realize the effect of quantitative sampling.

[0005] The above-mentioned sampling device can complete the sampling of samples by controlling the driving wheel device, the driven wheel device, the lifting device and the sampling device separately. However, the sampling device needs to control the driving wheel device, the sampling device and the lifting device separately to complete the intermittent sampling action, which increases the control difficulty. The sampling device and the storage device on the lifting device may collide with each other by mistake, resulting in poor sampling efficiency and prone to sampling errors, making it impossible to perform the sampling work continuously.

[0006] At the same time, the sampling device provides samples through the storage device. After a single sampling is completed, the sample in the storage device still needs to be replaced to complete the sampling work, which also increases the difficulty of sampling. In addition, the storage device is not provided with a shielding and protective structure, so the sample is easily contaminated during the sampling process, affecting the accuracy of subsequent detection and being not conducive to the stable progress of the detection work.

[0043] Embodiment 2: Based on the switching injection mechanism provided in Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a further technical solution of the switching injection mechanism.

[0044] like Figure 4 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 As shown, the switching injection mechanism includes a lifting frame 6 vertically arranged on the upper surface of the mounting platform 3, the lifting frame 6 is detachably fixed to the mounting platform 3 by bolts, and the two sides of the lifting frame 6 are open in design, a lifting block 7 is slidably mounted in the lifting frame 6, and a cylinder 8 is installed on the side of the lifting frame 6 facing the mass spectrometer body 1, the output end of the cylinder 8 is transmission-connected with the lifting block 7, a cross arm 9 is detachably mounted on the side of the lifting block 7 away from the mass spectrometer body 1, an adapter 10 is detachably mounted at the tail of the cross arm 9, a sampling tube 11 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the adapter 10, and the sampling tube 11 is connected to the inside of the adapter 10, and the output end of the adapter 10 is connected to the peristaltic pump 2 through a pipeline;

[0045] Among them, a connecting shaft 12 is rotatably installed on the top of one side of the lifting frame 6 through a bracket, a one-way bearing 13 is connected to the front end of the connecting shaft 12, and a power gear 14 is transmission-connected to the one-way bearing 13. The one-way bearing 13 completes the one-way transmission of the power gear 14. When the driving gear plate 16 moves up relative to the mounting platform 3, the power gear 14 completes the power output through the one-way bearing 13 and the connecting shaft 12. When the driving gear plate 16 moves down relative to the mounting platform 3, the power gear 14 completes the disconnection output through the one-way bearing 13 and the connecting shaft 12. A bevel gear 15 is fixedly installed concentrically at the tail of the connecting shaft 12, and a driving toothed plate 16 is detachably installed on one side of the lifting block 7. The driving toothed plate 16 and the power gear 14 are normally spaced apart, so that the driving toothed plate 16 meshes with the power gear 14 after moving up a certain distance, so that the sampling tube 11 can be stably moved out of the test tube body 5, and the position of the driving toothed plate 16 is finely adjusted according to the rotation requirements of the sample feeding disk 4. The driving toothed plate 16 can mesh with the power gear 14, and a guide block is added to the top of the driving toothed plate 16. The guide block is tilted, and the guide block is used to guide the meshing of the driving tooth plate 16 and the power gear 14. A driving shaft 17 is rotatably installed on one side of the lifting frame 6 below the connecting shaft 12 through a bracket. The bottom of the driving shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the mounting table 3. A second bevel gear 18 is concentrically installed on the top of the driving shaft 17. The second bevel gear 18 is meshed with the first bevel gear 15, and a linkage gear 19 is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the driving shaft 17.

The number of teeth of the linkage gear 19 is The size can be adjusted so that the linkage gear 19 can obtain the rotation provided by the power gear 14, so that the linkage gear 19 can mesh with the switching gear ring 402 to complete the precise position conversion of the sample tray 4. A ratchet pawl mechanism is installed between the drive shaft 17 and the mounting platform 3. The ratchet is correspondingly sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft 17. The pawl is rotatably installed on the mounting platform 3 through a torsion spring. The pawl is engaged with the ratchet to complete the restriction. The ratchet pawl mechanism completes the one-way rotation restriction on the drive shaft 17 to avoid the problem of rotation of the sample tray 4.

[0046] It is worth noting that when switching sampling: a switching sampling mechanism is provided, the cylinder 8 is started, the lifting block 7 is pulled down in the lifting frame 6, and the sampling tube 11 is driven to move down synchronously through the cross arm 9, so that the sampling tube 11 is inserted into the test tube body 5 to wait for sampling, and the peristaltic pump 2 is subsequently started to complete the sampling work through the sampling tube 11, and the cylinder 8 is subsequently reset, pushing the lifting block 7 and the sampling tube 11 to move up and reset, and separate from the test tube body 5, and at the same time, the linkage driving gear plate 16 follows the upward movement, and when the sampling tube 11 moves out of the test tube body 5, the driving gear plate 16 is meshed with the power gear 14 during the upward movement, and the subsequent sampling tube 11 continues to move up, so that the power gear 14 rotates, and the one-way bearing 13 is locked at this time, so that the power is transmitted to the connecting shaft 12 through the driving gear plate 16 and the power gear 14, and the first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 18 are connected. Under the meshing transmission, the driving shaft 17 is driven to rotate. At the same time, during the rotation of the driving shaft 17, the meshing of the linkage gear 19 and the switching gear ring 402 causes the sample tray 4 to rotate to complete the station switching, so that the test tube body 5 is continuously switched to the notch 29 to wait for sampling without the need to configure a separate power source, so that the overall sampling work can be carried out efficiently and stably, reducing the control difficulty of the technicians. Then the cylinder 8 drives the sampling tube 11 to move down again to complete the sampling. At this time, the one-way bearing 13 is unlocked, so that the power gear 14 can rotate freely and output power to the connecting shaft 12, that is, when the sampling tube 11 completes a sampling work up and down, the sample tray 4 is synchronously driven to complete a station switching, and the continuous sampling work of the test tube body 5 is completed. Repeating the above actions can complete the continuous completion of the sampling work of multiple test tube bodies 5 in different concentration ranges;

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting frame 38 installed at the bottom of one side of the lifting frame 6.

A No. 3 wedge block 43 is installed, and a push arm 44 is detachably installed at the bottom of the cross arm 9. A No. 4 wedge block 45 is installed at the bottom of the push arm 44 away from the lifting frame 6. The lengths of the No. 3 wedge block 43, the No. 4 wedge block 45 and the push arm 44 can be adjusted, so that the No. 3 wedge block 43, the No. 4 wedge block 45 and the push arm 44 can cooperate with the up and down movement of the sampling tube 11, thereby completing the stable restriction of the sampling disk 4. The No. 3 wedge block 43 and the No. 4 wedge block 45 are arranged in cooperation, and the No. 3 wedge block 43 is squeezed by the No. 4 wedge block 45 when the push arm 44 moves downward, and the friction plate 40 is synchronously driven to make friction contact with the rotating disk 401;

[0048] It is worth noting that: when the sampling disk 4 is restricted: by providing a restriction mechanism, when the sampling tube 11 moves down into the test tube body 5, under this moving path, the linkage push arm 44 and the fourth wedge block 45 move down, driving the fourth wedge block 45 to contact the third wedge block 43, and pushing the restriction member 39 to move toward the rotating disk 401 in the restriction frame 38, driving the friction plate 40 to frictionally contact the rotating disk 401, thereby completing the friction restriction of the rotating disk 401 and ensuring the stability of sampling. When the sampling tube 11 moves up subsequently, the fourth wedge block 45 is separated from the third wedge block 43. At this time, under the action of the pulling spring 41, the pulling restriction member 39 and the friction plate 40 are moved to separate from the rotating disk 401 to complete the unlocking, thereby providing assistance for the subsequent station switching of the sampling disk 4.

The shielding ring 28 is used to complete the synchronous shielding and protection of multiple test tube bodies 5, and a notch 29 is provided on the side of the shielding ring 28 facing the sampling tube 11. The notch 29 is used to actively avoid the upward and downward movement of the sampling tube 11.

[0051] It is worth noting that: when protecting the test tube body 5: a shielding mechanism is provided. Under normal circumstances, the push spring 25 drives the wedge block 24 No. 1 to move downward in the adjustment area 23, and the two pressure arms 27 drive the shielding ring 28 to move downward and flexibly contact the test tube body 5. The shielding ring 28 completes the top shielding of multiple test tube bodies 5 to avoid interference from external impurities. When the sampling tube 11 moves up and resets, the cross arm 9 pulls the telescopic arm 35 and the push block 36 to move upward, and the contact shaft 34 first contacts the inclined area 37 of the push block 36, and then guides the contact shaft 34 to contact the side wall of the push block 36 through the inclined area 37, thereby completing the pushing of the contact shaft 34, and when the push block 36 stops moving up It is still in contact with the side wall of the contact shaft 34, and compresses the two reset springs 33, so as to link the follower plate 31 and the second wedge block 26 to move forward. When the second wedge block 26 moves forward, the first wedge block 24 is lifted up, so that the shielding ring 28 is separated from the test tube body 5 to avoid the contact. When the sampling tube 11 moves downward, the contact shaft 34 is gradually separated from the push block 36, and is guided to separate from the push block 36 again through the inclined area 37. At this time, the two reset springs 33 push the second wedge block 26 to reset, and the push spring 25 drives the first wedge block 24 to reset. At this time, the shielding ring 28 blocks the test tube body 5 again, so that the shielding ring 28 and the sampling tube 11 are linked, ensuring the stable sampling work.

A push block 36 is installed on the side of the telescopic arm 35 facing the sample tray 4, and an inclined area 37 is provided on the side of the push block 36 facing the cross arm 9. The inclined area 37 cooperates with the push block 36 to complete the extrusion and pushing of the contact shaft 34, and the length of the push block 36 is coordinated with the meshing movement length of the driving gear plate 16 and the power gear 14, and the length of the push block 36 can be adjusted so that the push block 36 can correspond to the meshing movement length of the driving gear plate 16 and the power gear 14. The length of the telescopic arm 35 can be adjusted so that the telescopic arm 35 can adapt to the position of the shielding ring 28 to complete the follow-up adjustment. The telescopic arm 35 specifically adopts one of an electric telescopic rod, a manual telescopic rod and a threaded sleeve telescopic rod to complete the telescopic action. In the upward movement path of the push block 36 following the cross arm 9, the contact shaft 34 and the second wedge block 26 are synchronously pushed forward.

[0053] The present invention provides an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with an automatic sampling structure, and the specific working principle is as follows: first, the technician prepares the sample to be tested into different concentrations, and then respectively loads the solution into a plurality of test tube bodies 5 to wait for subsequent testing, and sequentially places them on a sample injection tray 4 according to the concentration range to complete the restriction, and then connects the adapter 10 of the switching sample injection mechanism with the peristaltic pump 2 through a pipeline, and then pumps the solution into the mass spectrometer body 1 through the peristaltic pump 2 to complete the subsequent testing;

[0054] By providing a switching sampling mechanism, the switching sampling mechanism completes the up and down movement of the sampling tube 11 through the cylinder 8, completes the sampling work of the solution in the test tube body 5 when the sampling tube 11 moves up and down, and synchronously drives the sampling disk 4 to complete active rotation switching when the sampling tube 11 moves up and resets, so that the test tube body 5 of the lower concentration is switched to the sampling position, thereby completing the continuous active switching sampling operation of multiple test tube bodies 5 on the sampling disk 4, improving the sampling efficiency, and eliminating the need for manual operation by technicians, reducing the difficulty of sampling, saving time and effort, and adding a shielding mechanism on the sampling disk 4, which is used to complete the top shielding of multiple test tube bodies 5 to prevent external impurities from falling into the test tubes In the main body 5, the shielding mechanism is linked with the switching injection mechanism. When the sampling tube 11 moves up and resets, the shielding mechanism is synchronously driven to complete the upward movement, so that the shielding mechanism is separated from the test tube body 5 at a certain distance, avoiding obstruction to the injection disk 4 during the switching work, reducing friction, ensuring the stability of the test tube body 5 during position conversion, and avoiding deviation. At the same time, with the assistance of the limiting mechanism, when the sampling tube 11 moves down for sampling, the linkage limiting mechanism is activated to complete the friction limitation of the injection disk 4, so that the injection disk 4 is stable, the sampling work of the sampling tube 11 is stable, sampling errors are avoided, the sampling accuracy is improved, and the difficulty of sampling for technicians is reduced.
