Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of direct-reading spectrometers, and in particular to a visual adjustment device for auxiliary gaps of direct-reading spectrometers. Background Art

[0002] The auxiliary gap discharge link of the direct reading spectrometer plays a vital role in the analysis process. It ensures the reliability and stability of sample excitation by secondary voltage boosting and preventing arc breaking. Therefore, regular maintenance and reasonable selection of electrode spacing and excitation atmosphere can further improve the analysis accuracy and service life of the instrument.

[0003] The main function of the auxiliary gap is to boost the voltage twice to ensure that arc or discharge (spark) can be reliably initiated between the electrode and the sample (or counter electrode). Once the arc is successfully initiated, the main circuit will maintain the spark discharge, and the auxiliary electrode will no longer discharge to reduce interference with the excitation process. The auxiliary gap ensures that the arc can be quickly initiated at the initial stage of sample excitation by providing additional high-voltage discharge, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the excitation. During the excitation process, if the arc is broken or there is no spark, the auxiliary electrode will start the high-voltage discharge again to maintain the continuity of the excitation work and effectively prevent the occurrence of arc breaking.

[0004] However, after the auxiliary gap has been used for a period of time, carbon deposits will be generated at the discharge tip. When the carbon deposits accumulate to a certain extent, it will cause discharge around the edges of the auxiliary electrode, which will cause leakage and electrode damage, resulting in unreliable sample excitation and even failure to excite in severe cases. Therefore, the auxiliary gap needs to be regularly maintained, cleaned or replaced. Among them, the unit price of replacing the auxiliary gap discharge box as a whole is relatively high; the main method of maintaining and cleaning the electrode is now to remove the electrodes on both sides from the auxiliary gap box each time the electrodes are maintained and cleaned, and the internal excitation light source and auxiliary electrode are cleaned at the same time. Usually, the analysis gap uses a spacing of 4-5mm to balance the ease of excitation and analysis accuracy, and the size of the electrode spacing has a significant impact on the analysis accuracy: if the electrode spacing is too large, the stability is poor and it is difficult to excite; if the electrode spacing is too small, although the excitation is easy, as the number of discharges increases, the condensed matter on the auxiliary electrode will increase, resulting in a smaller spacing, affecting the analysis accuracy. In addition, the auxiliary gap discharge box is designed for a closed space, and the analysis gap needs to be adjusted when the electrode is reinstalled after cleaning and polishing to ensure that the electrode is installed within a reasonable spacing range of 4-5mm. However, the existing auxiliary gap discharge box cannot observe the internal electrode distance. Based on this, the present invention proposes a visual adjustment device for the auxiliary gap of a direct-reading spectrometer. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the cylindrical hollow tube is consistent with the outer diameter of the electrode base.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the cylindrical hollow tube body is consistent with the height of the middle discharge chamber of the auxiliary gap discharge box.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the pie-shaped positioning mark is consistent with the width of the radial semicircular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the front end of the radial offset is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylindrical hollow tube; the rear end of the radial offset is consistent with the outer diameter of the cylindrical hollow tube.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a visual adjustment device for auxiliary gap of a direct-reading spectrometer comprises a cylindrical hollow tube body 2 located between upper and lower electrode bases 1, and electrodes 3 distributed up and down are covered in the cylindrical hollow tube body 2.

[0026] A radial semicircular groove 2-1 is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the cylindrical hollow tube 2, and a matching pancake-shaped positioning mark 4 is provided in the radial semicircular groove 2-1. The inner diameter of the cylindrical hollow tube 2 is consistent with the outer diameter of the electrode base 1. The height of the cylindrical hollow tube 2 is consistent with the height of the middle discharge chamber of the auxiliary gap discharge box.

[0027] The pie-shaped positioning mark body 4 includes a main body of a cylindrical structure, and a radial step matching the radial semicircular groove 2-1 is provided at the front end of the main body, and the thickness of the pie-shaped positioning mark body 4 is consistent with the width of the radial semicircular groove 2-1. The front end of the radial step is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylindrical hollow tube body 2; the rear section of the radial step is consistent with the outer diameter of the cylindrical hollow tube body 2. Specifically, after the pie-shaped positioning mark body 4 is inserted into the radial semicircular groove 2-1, it forms a complete columnar structure with the cylindrical hollow tube body 2.

[0028] The rear end of the body is provided with a handle, and a handle through hole 4-2 is provided on the handle for tying a hand rope. A symmetrically distributed central pit 4-1 is provided at the center of the body, and the tips of the upper and lower electrodes 3 are located in the central pit 4-1, and the coaxiality of the electrodes 3 and the central pit 4-1 is consistent. The depth of the central pit 4-1 is 0.5 mm, and the thickness of the pancake-shaped positioning mark body 4 is 5 mm, which ensures that the distance between the upper and lower electrodes 3 is 4 to 5 mm.

[0029] The cylindrical hollow tube body 2 and the pancake-shaped positioning mark body 4 are both made of transparent acrylic material for easy observation.

[0030] The action process of the present invention is as follows:

[0031] First, disassemble the auxiliary gap discharge box of the direct reading spectrometer, unscrew the end cover screws at both ends of the discharge box, pull out the electrode base 1 from both ends, and disassemble the electrode 3; then, clean and polish the removed electrode 3 or replace it with a new electrode 3; then, insert the pancake-shaped positioning mark 4 into the radial semicircular groove 2-1 cut of the cylindrical hollow tube 2, and the end of the pancake-shaped positioning mark 4 is close to the inner wall of the cylindrical hollow tube 2, so that the central pit 4-1 of the pancake-shaped positioning mark 4 is concentric with the cylindrical hollow tube 2; then, the cleaned and polished or new electrode 3 is inserted into the cylindrical hollow tube 2. Install it on the electrode base 1, so that the electrode is deeply inserted and maintains a longer size, and then the two electrode bases 1 are respectively buckled on the two ends of the cylindrical hollow tube body 2. The upper and lower electrodes 3 can retract with the pushing. By observing the contact condition between the electrode 3 inside the cylindrical hollow tube body 2 and the pancake-shaped positioning mark 4, the distance between the two ends of the electrode 3 can be accurately determined between 4mm-5mm to achieve the specified technical indicators; finally, after adjusting the distance of the electrode 3, tighten the fixing screws of the electrode base 1 with an Allen wrench, and then install the electrode base 1 back to the original auxiliary gap discharge box, and the adjustment is completed.
