[0015] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by persons with ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs.

[0016] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, “plurality” means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0017] In many fields such as industrial production, chemical research, and biomedicine, samples need to be analyzed and tested, and the elemental composition and content of the samples need to be accurately determined through analysis and testing.

[0018] The inventors of the present application have discovered that the current devices for analyzing and testing the element content of samples can only perform a single, specific analysis and test on the samples, and have defects such as inaccurate analysis and test results and low analysis efficiency.

[0019] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an analysis and testing system suitable for analyzing and testing samples. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an analysis and testing system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a side view of an analysis and testing system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the analysis and testing system 1 includes: a laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10, which is configured to determine the elemental composition and content of the sample; an X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20, which is configured to determine the chemical properties of the sample; and an analysis and testing system body 30, wherein the analysis and testing system body 30 forms a sample test cavity 31, the sample is arranged in the sample test cavity 31, and the sample can change its position in the sample test cavity 31; wherein the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 and the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 are configured to be fixedly connected to the analysis and testing system body 30 respectively, the laser emitted by the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 irradiates the sample in the sample test cavity 31, and collects the emission light of the high-temperature plasma generated by the sample after irradiation, and transmits the emission light to the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10, which is detected by the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 to determine the elemental composition and content of the sample; the X-rays emitted by the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 irradiate the sample in the sample test cavity 31, and detect the fluorescent X-rays generated by the sample after irradiation to determine the chemical properties of the sample.

[0020] The embodiments of the present application arrange the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module and the X-ray fluorescence analysis module to be fixedly connected to the analysis and testing system body respectively, so that laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis and X-ray fluorescence analysis can be performed on the same sample in the same cavity on a single device, and the position of the sample can be adjusted therein during the test process. Therefore, when using the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module and the X-ray fluorescence analysis module respectively, there is no need to reinsert the sample, thereby avoiding the influence of different test environments on the analysis results of the sample, and simplifying the analysis and testing process, thereby improving the accuracy of the analysis results and the efficiency of the analysis and testing.

[0021] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an analysis and testing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the analysis and testing system body 30 includes a plurality of walls, and the plurality of walls form a sample testing cavity 31. Part of the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 and part of the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 are respectively fixedly connected to different ones of the plurality of walls, thereby avoiding contact between the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 and the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 during the analysis and testing process, thereby preventing interference with the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis and the X-ray fluorescence analysis of the sample.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the analysis and testing system 1 further includes: an optical path channel 40, a first fixing member 50, a second fixing member 60, and an optical fiber 70. The analysis and testing system body 30 includes a plurality of walls, and the plurality of walls form a sample test cavity 31. The optical path channel 40 is configured to be fixedly connected to one of the plurality of walls, and a structure 32 for projecting light is provided on the wall, so that the laser emitted from the laser induced breakdown spectrometry analysis module 10 can irradiate the sample disposed in the sample test cavity 31. The first fixing member 50 is configured to be fixedly connected to one of the plurality of walls, and is configured to be fixedly connected to a portion of the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20, so that the X-ray emitted by the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 can irradiate the sample disposed in the sample test cavity 31. A portion of the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 is fixedly disposed on one of the plurality of walls opposite to one of the plurality of walls where the first fixing member 50 is disposed. The second fixing member 60 is fixedly disposed on one of the plurality of walls, and is configured to fix the optical fiber 70, so that the optical fiber 70 receives the light reflected by the laser from the sample and transmits it to the laser induced breakdown spectrometry analysis module 10. By respectively arranging the optical path channel 40, the first fixing member 50 and the second fixing member 60 on one of the different multiple walls of the analysis and testing system body 30, the cross-interference of the optical paths of the laser, X-rays and the light reflected by the laser is avoided, thereby ensuring the irradiation of the laser and X-ray light on the sample in the sample testing cavity 31 and the transmission of the laser reflected light.

[0023] In some embodiments, the structure 32 for projecting light may be a quartz window for introducing laser light into the cavity from the atmosphere side.

[0024] In some embodiments, the second fixture 60 is connected to the sample testing cavity 31 and is used to fix the optical fiber 70 so that the optical fiber 70 enters the sample testing cavity 31 through the second fixture 60. In some embodiments, the second fixture 60 may be a through flange.

[0025] In some embodiments, the optical fiber 70 may be a silica optical fiber.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the analysis and testing system 1 further includes a support 80, which is arranged in parallel with the analysis and testing system body 30. The laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 includes a laser emitter 11, a spectrometer 12 and a light guide 13, wherein the laser emitter 11 is arranged on the support 80, the light guide 13 is arranged in the optical path channel 40, and the spectrometer 12 is arranged outside the analysis and testing system body 30. The laser emitted by the laser emitter 11 irradiates the light guide 13, and then irradiates the sample after being transmitted by the light guide 13, and then is reflected by the sample to the optical fiber 70, and then is transmitted by the optical fiber 70 to the spectrometer 12, and then detected by the spectrometer 12. Specifically, by setting a support member 80 parallel to the analysis and testing system body 30, the laser emitted by the laser emitter 11 set on the support member 80 can be injected into the optical path channel 40 of the analysis and testing system body 30, and the laser path is changed by the light guide 13 set in the optical path channel 40, so that the laser is irradiated to the sample, and the composition of the emitted light generated by the sample after laser irradiation is detected by the spectrometer 12, the elemental composition and content of the sample are obtained, and the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis of the sample is completed.

[0027] In some embodiments, the support member 80 is provided with a plurality of support columns 81 and a support body 82, the plurality of support columns 81 are used to support the support body 82, the support body 82 is provided with a plurality of walls, and the laser emitter 11 is arranged on the wall of the support body 82 opposite to the analysis and testing system body 30. In some embodiments, a horizontal channel 41 communicating with the optical path channel 40 is formed on the wall opposite to the support body 82. The horizontal channel 41 is arranged in parallel with the laser emitter 11, and the laser outlet of the laser emitter 11 is in the same straight line as the center of the horizontal channel 41. The laser emitted by the laser emitter 11 can enter the optical path channel 40 through the horizontal channel 41.

[0028] In some embodiments, the output wavelength of the laser emitter 11 can be 1064nm, 532nm or other shorter wavelength lasers (such as 256nm), and the laser power selection range can be 20~300mJ, which is used to provide a high-energy monochromatic excitation light source.

[0029] In some embodiments, the light guide 13 is disposed upstream of the structure 32 for projecting light, and the center of the light guide 13 is in the same straight line as the laser outlet of the laser emitter 11 and the center of the horizontal channel 41. Specifically, the laser passes through the horizontal channel 41 and irradiates the light guide 13, and the light guide 13 changes the path of the laser emitted by the laser emitter 11, so that the laser irradiates the sample.

[0030] In some embodiments, the light guide 13 may be a 45-degree reflector, which is tilted at a 45-degree angle in the optical path 40 to reflect the horizontal laser emitted by the laser emitter 11 into a vertical laser so that the laser irradiates the sample.

[0031] In some embodiments, the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 further includes a first light focusing member 14, which is disposed between the light guide member 13 and the structure 32 for projecting light, so that the laser light is focused on the sample surface inside the cavity after passing through the structure 32 for projecting light light. This prevents unnecessary loss of laser energy, thereby ensuring effective irradiation of the sample by the laser light. Specifically, the first light focusing member 14 may be a convex lens.

[0032] In some embodiments, the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis module 10 further includes a second light focusing element for focusing the emission light generated by laser irradiation on the sample surface and transmitting the emission light to the optical fiber 70 .

[0033] In some embodiments, the wavelength monitoring range of the spectrometer 12 may be selected according to the composition of the sample to avoid interference from other wavelength ranges and to improve the analysis efficiency of the spectrometer 12 .

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the X-ray fluorescence analysis module 20 includes an X-ray source 21 and an X-ray energy detector 22. The X-ray source 21 is disposed on one of the multiple walls through a first fixing member 50, and the X-ray energy detector 22 is fixedly disposed on one of the multiple walls opposite to one of the multiple walls where the first fixing member 50 is disposed. The X-rays emitted by the X-ray source 21 irradiate the sample, and the X-rays reflected from the sample are detected by the X-ray energy detector 22. By respectively arranging the X-ray source 21 and the X-ray energy detector 22 on one of the multiple walls, it is avoided that the X-ray source 21 and the X-ray energy detector 22 come into contact during the analysis and testing process, thereby preventing the X-ray source 21 and the X-ray energy detector 22 from interfering with the normal operation of the X-ray source 21 and the X-ray energy detector 22, and the two walls respectively disposed are opposite to each other, so as to ensure that after the sample is irradiated with the X-rays, the X-rays reflected from the sample can be detected by the X-ray energy detector 22.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 50 may be a flange interface for achieving a fastened connection between the X-ray source 21 and one of the walls of the analysis and testing system body 30 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the excitation voltage range of the X-ray source 21 may be 20 kV to 50 kV, for example, 30 kV.

[0037] In some embodiments, the X-ray energy detector 22 is used to detect the composition of X-rays reflected by the sample to obtain the chemical properties of the sample.

[0038] In some embodiments, the material of the X-ray source 21 detector can be selected according to the test requirements, for example, it can be: rhodium, silver, tungsten, etc.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the X-ray source 21 and the X-ray energy detector 22 are arranged so that the extension lines of their centers form a predetermined angle and converge on the surface of the sample, which is used to limit the optical path of the X-ray irradiating the sample and the X-ray reflected by the sample, so as to prevent the X-ray and the reflected X-ray from being too close or too far from each other, thereby preventing the accuracy of the X-ray fluorescence spectrum analysis of the sample from being disturbed.

[0040] In some embodiments, a certain angle is formed between the X-ray source 21 and the X-ray energy detector 22, and the angle range is 30° to 90°, for example, it can be 45°.

[0041] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of an analysis and testing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the analysis and testing system 1 further includes a stage 90, on which the sample is placed, and the stage 90 is configured to be sealed and connected to the cavity, and can be adjusted in three directions, namely, in the horizontal direction, in the vertical direction, and in the vertical direction. The stage 90 can be used to move the sample to the corresponding test position when switching between laser induced spectroscopy analysis and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the stage 90 is formed with a support portion 91 and a rod portion 92, wherein the support portion 91 is disposed directly above the rod portion 92, and the rod portion 92 is used to support the support portion 91. The support portion 91 and part of the rod portion 92 are disposed in the sample testing cavity 31, and the sample is disposed on the support portion 91.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the analysis and testing system 1 further includes a coordinate platform 100 and a coordinate adjustment component 1021. The coordinate platform 100 includes a first platform 101 and a second platform 102, the first platform 101 is arranged above the second platform 102, the horizontal relative positions of the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 are fixed, and the height of the spacing between the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 is adjustable. The coordinate adjustment component 1021 is arranged on the second platform 102, and is used to realize the movement of the sample in the sample testing cavity 31 without destroying the vacuum state of the cavity.

[0044] In some embodiments, the analysis and testing system body 30 is disposed on the first platform 101, and both the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 are formed with through holes. The through hole of the first platform 101 is connected to the sample testing cavity 31, the through hole of the second platform 102 is larger than the through hole of the first platform 101, and the rod 92 of the stage 90 passes through the through holes of the first platform 101 and the second platform 102. Specifically, a protrusion 103 is provided below the through hole of the second platform 102, and the vertical relative position of the protrusion 103 and the second platform 102 is fixed, and the horizontal relative position is adjustable, and the rod 92 of the stage 90 is fixed at the center of the bottom surface of the protrusion 103.

[0045] In some embodiments, the coordinate adjustment component 1021 includes a transverse coordinate adjustment member 10211, a longitudinal coordinate adjustment member 10212, and a normal coordinate adjustment member 10213. The transverse coordinate adjustment member 10211 is arranged in the transverse direction of the protrusion 103, and the transverse coordinate adjustment member 10211 is used to realize the movement of the protrusion 103 in the transverse direction, and further realize the movement of the rod 92 of the stage 90 in the transverse direction. The longitudinal coordinate adjustment member 10212 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the protrusion 103, and is used to realize the movement of the protrusion 103 in the longitudinal direction, and further realize the movement of the rod 92 of the stage 90 in the longitudinal direction. The normal coordinate adjustment member 10213 includes an extension portion 102131 and an adjustment portion 102132. The upper end of the extension part 102131 is fixedly connected to the first platform 101, and the lower end of the extension part 102131 partially extends into the adjustment part 102132; the upper end of the adjustment part 102132 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the second platform 102, and the adjustment part 102132 is used to adjust the length of the extension part 102131 extending into the adjustment part 102132. By changing the length of the extension part 102131 extending into the adjustment part 102132, the height of the spacing between the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 is changed, so as to realize the movement of the rod part 92 of the stage 90 in the horizontal and vertical directions. The horizontal coordinate adjustment member 10211, the vertical coordinate adjustment member 10212 and the normal coordinate adjustment member 10213 realize the movement of the rod part 92 of the stage 90 in the horizontal, vertical and vertical directions, so as to realize the movement of the sample in the horizontal, vertical and vertical directions.

[0046] In some embodiments, the coordinate platform 100 further includes a plurality of platform connectors 104 , and the plurality of platform connectors 104 penetrate the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 to improve the stability of the coordinate platform 100 .

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the analysis and testing system 1 further includes a bellows 110, and both ends of the bellows 110 are respectively sealedly connected to the stage 90 and the cavity, so that the cavity is kept in a vacuum state when the stage 90 adjusts the position of the sample. By providing the bellows 110 sealedly connected to the stage 90 and the sample test cavity 31, the stage 90 is arranged in the sealed vacuum sample test cavity 31, so that the sample can be moved in the sample test cavity 31 without destroying the vacuum state of the sample test cavity 31.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer diameter of the bellows 110 is smaller than the through hole of the second platform 102 to prevent the bellows 110 from colliding with the second platform 102 when the height between the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 is reduced.

[0050] In some embodiments, the vacuum module 120 is disposed on one of the walls of the analysis and testing system body 30 and communicates with the sample testing chamber 31 to adjust the vacuum degree of the sample testing chamber 31 .
