[0030] The present invention is further described in detail below by way of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples are merely illustrative and non-restrictive. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications may be made based on the above description, and obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, a mobile control system for a mass spectrometer includes a mobile control panel 2 and a folding component 3, wherein the mobile control panel 2 is a Huawei tablet computer; the folding component 3 includes a multi-function tray 4, a hinge 5 and an iron block 6.

[0032] The multifunctional tray 4 has a guide groove 7 on the front and a screw hole in the middle of the back; the magnets 8 are installed in the screw holes and are symmetrically located on the upper and lower sides of the multifunctional tray 4. The multifunctional tray 4 has mounting holes 17 on both sides of the back, which are fixed on the hinges 5, and the hinges 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the multifunctional tray 4. The left side of the tray is provided with a USB port 9 and a charging port 10.

[0033] The guide groove 7 opens at the rightmost side of the multi-function tray 4. When the mobile control panel 2 is placed in the guide groove 7, the upper and lower surfaces of the guide groove 7 constrain the mobile control panel 2 to move in the groove until the mobile control panel 2 is pushed to the left side of the multi-function tray 4. At this time, the USB interface 9 and the charging interface 10 are respectively connected to the corresponding interfaces of the mobile control panel 2 to realize the communication and charging functions. The mobile control panel 2 is fixed by the magnetic force of the magnet 8.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the hinge 5 includes an adjusting rod 11, a fixing plate 12 and a supporting rod 13. The fixing plate 12 is a U-shaped structure, with a U-shaped groove 18 on the plate and pin holes on the upper and lower sides. The adjusting rod 11 is a U-shaped structure and can be embedded in the U-shaped groove 18 of the fixing plate 12. There is a slide groove 15 on the side of the adjusting rod 11, a limit hole 16 at the end of the slide groove 15, and a mounting hole on the front for mounting the multi-function tray 4. There is a pin hole on the side of the upper end of the adjusting rod 11, and a soft connection is achieved with the fixing plate 12 at the pin hole at the upper end of the fixing plate 12 through a pin 14, and the adjusting rod 11 can rotate around the pin 14. The length of the slide groove 15 of the adjusting rod 11 meets the angle requirements for opening and closing the folding component.

[0035] The support rod 13 is a rectangular frame structure. When the folding part is closed, the support rod 13 can be embedded in the U-shaped groove 19 of the adjustment rod 11 and the U-shaped groove 18 of the fixed plate 12. There are pin holes on the upper and lower sides of the support rod 13. The pin hole at the lower end of the support rod 13 is softly connected to the fixed plate 12 at the pin hole at the lower part of the fixed plate 12 through the pin 14. The support rod 13 can rotate around the pin 14, and the other end can slide in the slide groove 15 of the adjustment rod 11 through the pin 14, and slide to the limit hole 16 to achieve positioning.

[0036] In the process of being connected with the mass spectrometer, when the pin 14 at the upper end of the support rod 13 slides in the slide groove 15, the angle between the mobile control console 2 and the mass spectrometer 1 changes. When the pin 14 at the upper end of the support rod 13 slides along the slide groove 15 to the uppermost end, the hinge is in the closing process, and the angle between the mobile control console 2 and the mass spectrometer 1 decreases until it reaches Figure 2 In the state shown, the iron block at the lower end of the fixing plate 12 is attracted by the magnet 8 on the back of the multi-functional tray to complete the closing action; when the pin 14 slides along the slide slot 15 to the lower end until it falls into the limiting hole 16, the hinge is in the opening process, and the angle between the mobile control console 2 and the mass spectrometer 1 becomes the largest until it reaches Figure 1 In the state shown, the pin 14 at the upper end of the support rod 13 falls into the limiting hole 16, limiting the movable direction of the pin 14, so that the support rod 13 is stationary, ensuring that the mobile control table 2 is in a stable state. The iron block 6 is connected to the hinge 5 through the screw hole, and the iron block 6 is located at the lower part of the hinge 5. When the hinge 5 is closed, the magnet 8 on the back of the multi-function tray 4 attracts the iron block 6 to prevent the hinge 5 from opening easily.
