[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, taking the CMOS inverter including a PNP transistor 6011 and an NPN transistor 6012 as an example, the third output terminal is connected to the sixth input terminal, the sixth input terminal is one end of the first inductor 301, the third output terminal is the connection point between the collector of the PNP transistor 6011 in the first inverter unit and the collector of the NPN transistor 6012; the fourth output terminal is the connection point between the collector of the PNP transistor and the collector of the NPN transistor in the second inverter unit; the seventh input terminal is one end of the second inductor 302.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a reference voltage output circuit includes a voltage conditioning circuit, a control circuit and an adjustable potentiometer; the input end of the voltage conditioning circuit is connected to the signal output end of the oscillation module; the output end of the voltage conditioning circuit is connected to the control circuit; the voltage conditioning circuit is used to collect the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal, and input the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal to the control circuit; the control circuit is connected to the adjustable potentiometer; the control circuit is used to generate a control signal according to the difference between the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude and the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal, and send the control signal to the adjustable potentiometer; the adjustable potentiometer outputs a DC reference voltage according to the control signal.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control circuit includes a controller and an input circuit; for example, the control circuit includes a microprocessor and an input circuit, the controller is connected to the output end of the voltage conditioning circuit; the controller is also connected to the input end of the adjustable potentiometer; the controller is also connected to the output end of the input circuit; the input circuit is used to input a sine wave reference amplitude to the controller; the controller is used to generate a control signal based on the difference between the sine wave reference amplitude and the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal, and send the control signal to the adjustable potentiometer.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the adjustable potentiometer can be a digital potentiometer; the controller can be a microprocessor; the input circuit can input the sine wave reference amplitude to the microprocessor by pressing a button, or can input the sine wave reference amplitude to the microprocessor by connecting via Bluetooth, or can communicate with the microprocessor via UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter). The input circuit can be a readable and writable device, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a computer, and other devices or devices that input through a button. The sine wave reference amplitude is controlled by the microprocessor serial port to adjust the voltage of the sine wave signal output by the signal output end of the oscillation module, so that the signal output end of the oscillation module outputs the final target sine wave signal.

[0075] Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of a voltage conditioning circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0076] like Figure 8As shown, the voltage conditioning circuit includes a peak detection circuit and a voltage adjustment circuit; the peak detection circuit is to detect the peak value of the RF power generator. By using the charging and discharging of the detection capacitor 803, during a period of time in the positive half cycle of the AC signal, the detection diode 802 is equivalent to a short circuit, and the positive half cycle of the AC signal is directly added to the detection capacitor 803 for charging, and the voltage on the detection capacitor 803 will soon reach the peak value of the AC signal. After reaching the peak value, since the AC signal voltage begins to decrease, the voltage on the detection resistor 801 cannot be maintained, and the detection capacitor 803 begins to discharge to the detection resistor 801, and the discharge process is very slow. In the negative half cycle of the AC signal, since the detection diode 802 is cut off, the voltage of the detection capacitor 803 cannot change suddenly, so a part of the voltage is still maintained on the detection capacitor 803. In order to make the output close to a straight line (small ripple voltage), the discharge speed must be very slow. Since the discharge time constant T=RC, where R is the resistance value of the detection resistor; C is the capacitance value of the detection capacitor, a large detection resistor 801 must be selected to ensure a very slow discharge speed. The process is to charge to the peak value first, then discharge a small amount, then quickly charge to the peak value again, and discharge a small amount again. At the same time, in order to avoid the influence of subsequent circuits on the peak detection circuit, a voltage follower is added as isolation between the peak detection circuit and the voltage adjustment circuit to improve the circuit's anti-interference ability.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the external input voltage of the series voltage regulator circuit is 12V, and the adjustable voltage range is 0V-10V. The communication between the microprocessor and the digital potentiometer is carried out through the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface‌, serial peripheral interface) protocol to change the input voltage applied to the power supply voltage input terminal of the first inverter unit and the second inverter unit, thereby changing the output current of the first inverter unit and the second inverter unit, and generating resonance through the subsequent oscillation module. The peak-to-peak voltage of the resonance is converted and collected by the voltage conditioning circuit and displayed in real time.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage adjustment circuit converts the parameter data collected by the peak detection circuit into data that can be processed by the microprocessor I / O (Input / Output) port through ADC sampling, and sends it to the microprocessor I / O port for processing; the microprocessor processes the parameter data, including: determining the value of the preset parameter according to the parameter data, and displaying it in real time to the OLED (Organic Electroluminescence Display) of the display circuit through the IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol.

[0081] like Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the series voltage regulator circuit consists of an adjustment tube, a comparator, a sampling circuit, and a filter circuit. The DC reference voltage Vref is changed by a digital potentiometer. When the external DC voltage Vin output by the power supply changes, that is, the voltage of the external power input changes, or the capacitive load changes and causes the output adjustable DC voltage Vdc to increase, the sampling voltage of the sampling circuit also increases. Since the DC reference voltage Vref remains unchanged, the input difference signal of the comparator decreases, and after amplification by the comparator, the base potential of the adjustment tube decreases, and the voltage drop of the adjustment tube increases, so that the output Vdc adjustable DC voltage remains basically unchanged. Similarly, when the power supply voltage or load changes and causes the output voltage to decrease, the output voltage can also be kept basically unchanged.

[0082] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the DC voltage range of the external power supply input is 5V~32V, and 12V DC is selected. Unless otherwise specified, the test results of the present invention are all measured under 12V conditions. The voltage input by the external power supply enters the adjustment tube and then outputs the voltage, which is fed back to the reverse input terminal of the comparator through voltage division sampling, and compared with the same-direction input Vref, and the tube voltage drop is continuously adjusted until the sampling voltage is equal to Vref, so as to keep the output voltage stable. The DC reference voltage Vref is output by the digital potentiometer, and the microcontroller communicates with the digital potentiometer through the SPI protocol to adjust the DC reference voltage Vref, and the Vref value is between 0V-5V.

The inductor L1, the capacitor C0 and the inductor L2 are connected in series to form the LCL circuit. The feedback oscillator consists of three inverters, and the feedback oscillator and a feedback resistor R1 are used to increase the gain. Compared with the feedback oscillator containing a single inverter in the prior art, the feedback oscillator enables the circuit to reach its balanced working state faster. In order to maximize the induced flyback voltage, the current passing through the inductor is as large as possible and switched as quickly as possible. The capacitor C0 equivalent to the adjustable capacitor circuit samples the voltage in the slot of the LCL circuit of the oscillation network unit, and drives the input of the feedback unit together with the feedback resistor R1 and the feedback capacitor C1, and tests the waveforms corresponding to the four points ABCD, such as Fig. 10B As shown.

[0087] In operation S1101, the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal outputted from the signal output terminal of the oscillation module and the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude are acquired.

[0088] In operation S1102, according to the difference between the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal and the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude, a DC reference voltage is calculated according to a voltage regulation algorithm, so that the voltage stabilizing circuit provides a target DC voltage to the inverter module according to the DC reference voltage and the external DC voltage output by the power supply; the target DC voltage causes the self-excited oscillation circuit to output a target sinusoidal wave signal.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage regulation algorithm may adopt a PID algorithm, or may adopt the following method: a unit amount of a single adjustment of a digital potentiometer is preset, and when the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal is greater than the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer adjusts a unit amount in a preset manner, and when the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal is still greater than the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer continues to adjust another unit amount in a preset manner until the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal is still equal to the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude. When the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal is less than the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer adjusts a unit amount in a preset manner, and when the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal is still less than the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer continues to adjust another unit amount in a preset manner until the amplitude of the initial sinusoidal wave signal is still equal to the sinusoidal wave reference amplitude.

[0092] exist Fig. 12A , Fig. 12B , Fig. 12C and Fig.12D In the figure, the model of inverter chip 1 is 74HC04D,653; the model of inverter chip 2 is SN74AHC14DR, the model of inverter chip 3 is SN74HCT04DR, the model of inverter chip 4 is SN74HC04DR, the model of inverter chip 5 is SN74HCT14DR, and the model of inverter chip 6 is SN74AHCT04DR. Fig. 12AAs shown in the figure, there are maximum output voltage curve and minimum output voltage curve. The maximum output voltage curve represents the maximum value of the output voltage of the RF power generator corresponding to each inverter chip, and the minimum output voltage curve represents the minimum value of the output voltage of the RF power generator corresponding to each inverter chip. When the supply voltage Vs applied to the voltage at both ends of the inverter increases, the peak-to-peak value Vpp of the output voltage of the RF power generator will increase accordingly, but the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage of the RF power generator corresponding to the inverter chip 4 does not increase significantly; when the supply voltage Vs=10V, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage of the RF power generator corresponding to the inverter chip 2 is the largest; as shown in the figure, Fig. 12B As shown, the vertical axis is voltage, the unit is V; Fig. 12B In the figure, each inverter chip corresponds to two quantities. The quantity on the left is the power supply voltage of the inverter chip, and the quantity on the right is the corresponding starting voltage of the inverter chip. The minimum starting voltage of these inverters is about 2V. At the same time, the maximum power supply voltage Vs of inverter chip 4 and inverter chip 3 is 6V. The other inverter chips can work stably for a long time when the power supply voltage Vs=10V. Fig. 12C and Fig.12D As shown, when the supply voltage Vs=10V, the current consumed by the dual-path RF power supply loop generated by the RF power supply generator corresponding to the inverter chip 2 and the RF power supply generator of the inverter chip 6 is as high as 30mA, and the corresponding power consumption is more than 3W, while the power consumption of other types of inverter chips does not exceed 2W. Considering the peak-to-peak value as large as possible and the power consumption as small as possible, the inverter chip 5 is the best choice.

[0093] Fig.13 A stability test result diagram of a radio frequency power generator according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0094] A mass spectrometer is an instrument used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. It has the characteristics of high sensitivity and high specificity, and is widely used in defense, medical, materials, food safety and other fields. The dual-channel RF power generator is a key component of mass spectrometry equipment. It is mainly used for the transmission, focusing and even trapping of ions in capacitive load devices such as poles, ion traps and ion funnels. The maximum output peak-to-peak voltage of the RF power generator depends on the maximum current that the inverter can provide, and the resonant frequency is determined by the inherent properties of the circuit L1, L2 and C0 and the load capacitance. The amplitude and frequency will affect the trajectory of the ions and thus affect the sensitivity of the mass spectrometer.

[0095] A common method to drive RF electrodes is to combine a frequency synthesizer, RF amplifier, and a high quality factor resonator. Frequency and impedance matching issues between the RF source and the resonator need to be addressed to resonantly drive capacitive mass spectrometry components such as ion traps and ion guides. These RF drive methods (usually consuming a few watts to tens of watts) are designed for desktop systems, not for low power consumption.

[0096] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the maximum peak-to-peak value of the target sinusoidal signal output by the RF power generator can reach 290V, and the resonant frequency range is 0.5MHz-2.5MHz. In addition, the phase difference between the two sinusoidal signals output by the RF power generator is 179±1°, and the maximum relative peak-to-peak error is 1.64V. Fig.13 As shown, the figure shows a voltage curve and a frequency curve, wherein the voltage curve represents the voltage of the target sinusoidal signal output by the RF power generator, and the frequency curve represents the frequency of the target sinusoidal signal output by the RF power generator. When the power supply voltage Vs=5V, a quadrupole capacitive load is added, and the RF power generator provided by the present invention works continuously for two hours until the circuit reaches a stable state, and the maximum peak-to-peak value of the target sinusoidal signal output by the RF power generator reaches 203.42V. After reaching a stable state, the voltage of the target sinusoidal signal output by the RF power generator is about 201.46V, and the frequency of the target sinusoidal signal is about 1.46MHz.

[0097] Therefore, the RF power generator of the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously output dual-channel RF signals with equal amplitude and opposite phase, and the amplitude and frequency can be programmably controlled, and is small in size and easy to carry. It can be used to drive capacitive loads such as poles, ion traps, and ion funnels, and can be used for transmission, focusing, and even trapping of different ions, thereby improving the sensitivity and scope of use of mass spectrometers. The embodiment of the present invention provides a way to realize the new trend of mass spectrometry towards miniaturization, intelligence, and portability.

However, these embodiments are only for the purpose of illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Although each embodiment is described above, it does not mean that the measures in each embodiment cannot be used in combination advantageously. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various substitutions and modifications, which should all fall within the scope of the present invention.
