[0075] Figure 8 The structural schematic diagram of the voltage conditioning circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0076] As Figure 8As shown in the figure, the voltage conditioning circuit includes a peak detection circuit and a voltage adjustment circuit; the peak detection circuit is used to detect the peak value of the radio frequency power generator. By utilizing the charging and discharging of the detection capacitor 803, during a period of 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 applied to the detection capacitor 803 for charging, and the voltage on the detection capacitor 803 will quickly reach the peak value of the AC signal. After reaching the peak value, since the voltage of the AC signal starts to decrease, the voltage on the detection resistor 801 cannot be maintained, and the detection capacitor 803 starts to discharge to the detection resistor 801, and this discharging process is very slow. During the negative half-cycle of the AC signal, since the detection diode 802 is cut off and the voltage of the detection capacitor 803 cannot change suddenly, a part of the voltage is still maintained on the detection capacitor 803. In order to make the output close to a straight line (with a small ripple voltage), the discharging speed must be made very slow. Since the discharging time constant T = RC, where R is the resistance value of the detection resistor; C is the capacitance value of the detection capacitor, a very large detection resistor 801 must be selected to ensure a very slow discharging speed. This process is to first charge to the peak value, then discharge a small amount, then quickly charge to the peak value again, and then discharge a small amount. At the same time, in order to avoid the influence of the subsequent circuit on the peak detection circuit, a voltage follower is added as the isolation between the peak detection circuit and the voltage adjustment circuit to improve the anti-interference ability of the circuit.
[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. Communication between the microprocessor and the digital potentiometer is carried out through the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol to change the input voltage applied to the power supply voltage input terminals of the first inverter unit and the second inverter unit, so as to change the output current magnitudes of the first inverter unit and the second inverter unit. Resonance is generated by the subsequent oscillation module, and the peak-to-peak voltage of the resonance is converted and collected through 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 giving real-time display to the OLED (Organic Electroluminescence Display) of the display circuit through the IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol. For example, the performance indicators of the radio frequency power generator include the voltage magnitude of the supply voltage Vs of the inverter module, ranging from 0V to 10V, with the unit of volt; the unit of the current magnitude in the self-excited oscillation circuit is mA, milliamperes; the peak-to-peak value of the radio frequency signal.

[0080] Figure 9 The structural block diagram of the series voltage regulator circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0081] As Figure 9 shown, the series voltage regulator circuit consists of an adjustment transistor, a comparator, a sampling circuit, and a filtering circuit. The DC reference voltage Vref is changed through a digital potentiometer. When the external DC voltage Vin output by the power supply changes, that is, the voltage input by the external power supply changes, or when the capacitive load changes and causes the adjustable DC voltage Vdc at the output to increase, the sampling voltage of the sampling circuit also increases accordingly. Since the DC reference voltage Vref remains unchanged, the input difference signal of the comparator decreases. After being amplified by the comparator, the base potential of the adjustment transistor decreases, and the voltage drop of the adjustment transistor increases, so that the output adjustable DC voltage Vdc remains basically unchanged. Similarly, when the power supply voltage or the load changes and causes the output voltage to decrease, the output voltage can also be kept basically unchanged.
[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the DC voltage range input by the external power supply is 5V to 32V, and 12V DC is selected. Without special instructions, the test results of the present invention are all measured under the condition of 12V. The voltage input by the external power supply enters through the adjustment transistor and then outputs the voltage, which is feedback to the reverse input terminal of the comparator through voltage division sampling and compared with the co-directional input Vref. The voltage drop of the adjustment transistor is continuously adjusted until the sampling voltage is equal to Vref, and the output voltage is kept stable. The DC reference voltage Vref is output by the digital potentiometer. The microcontroller communicates with the digital potentiometer through the SPI protocol to adjust the DC reference voltage Vref, and the magnitude of Vref is between 0V and 5V.

The feedback oscillator is composed of three inverters, and the feedback oscillator and a feedback resistor R1 are used to increase the gain. Compared with the feedback oscillator including a single inverter in the prior art, the feedback oscillator enables the circuit to reach its balanced operating state faster. In order to maximize the induced flyback voltage, the current through the inductor is made as large as possible and switched as fast as possible. The equivalent capacitor C0 of the adjustable capacitor circuit samples the voltage in the tank of the LCL circuit of the oscillation network unit, drives the input of the feedback unit together with the feedback resistor R1 and the feedback capacitor C1, and tests the waveforms corresponding to points A, B, C, and D, as Figure 10B shown. The waveform at point A is opposite in phase and the same in amplitude as the waveform at point C; the waveform at point B is opposite in phase and the same in amplitude as the waveform at point D; the peak-to-peak value of the waveforms at points A and C is -150V to 150V; the waveforms at points B and D show that the value of Vs is 5V.

[0086] As Figure 11 shown, the method includes operations S1101 to S1102.
[0087] In operation S1101, obtain the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal output by the signal output terminal of the oscillation module and the sine wave reference amplitude.
[0088] In operation S1102, according to the difference between the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal and the sine wave reference amplitude, calculate the DC reference voltage according to the voltage regulation algorithm, so that the voltage stabilization circuit provides the 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 enables the self-excited oscillation circuit to output the target sine wave signal.
[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage regulation algorithm can adopt the PID algorithm or can also adopt the following method: preset the unit amount of a single adjustment of the digital potentiometer. When the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal is greater than the sine wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer adjusts by one unit amount according to the preset method. When the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal is still greater than the sine wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer continues to adjust by one unit amount according to the preset method until the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal is equal to the sine wave reference amplitude. When the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal is less than the sine wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer adjusts by one unit amount according to the preset method. When the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal is still less than the sine wave reference amplitude, the digital potentiometer continues to adjust by one unit amount according to the preset method until the amplitude of the initial sine wave signal is equal to the sine wave reference amplitude.
[0090] The following refers to Figures 12A to 12D to further illustrate the performance test comparison of multiple inverters in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0091] Figure 12A Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the performance test comparison of the output voltages of different inverters according to the embodiments of the present invention under different supply voltages. Figure 12B Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the performance test comparison of the oscillation starting voltages of different inverters according to the embodiments of the present invention under different supply voltages. Figure 12C Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the comparison of current values of different inverters according to the embodiments of the present invention under the same supply voltage. Figure 12D Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the comparison of powers of different inverters according to the embodiments of the present invention under the same supply voltage.
[0092] In Figure 12A , Figure 12B , Figure 12C and Figure 12D , 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. As Figure 12AAs shown, the figure shows the maximum output voltage curve and the 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 of the voltage applied across the inverter increases, the peak-to-peak value Vpp of the output voltage of the RF power generator will increase accordingly, but the increase in the peak-to-peak voltage of the output voltage of the RF power generator corresponding to inverter chip 4 is not obvious; when the supply voltage Vs = 10V, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage of the RF power generator corresponding to inverter chip 2 is the largest; as Figure 12B shown, the vertical axis is voltage, and the unit is V; in Figure 12B , each inverter chip corresponds to two quantities. The quantity on the left is the supply voltage of the inverter chip, and the quantity on the right is the starting oscillation voltage corresponding to the inverter chip. The minimum starting oscillation voltages of these inverters are about 2V. At the same time, the maximum supply voltage Vs of inverter chip 4 and inverter chip 3 is 6V, and the other inverter chips can work stably for a long time when the supply voltage Vs = 10V; as Figure 12C and Figure 12D shown, when the supply voltage Vs = 10V, the current consumed by the dual-channel RF power supply loop generated by the RF power generator corresponding to inverter chip 2 and the RF power generator of 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 comprehensively that the peak-to-peak value is as large as possible and the power consumption is small, inverter chip 5 is the optimal choice.
[0093] Figure 13 shows the stability test result diagram of the RF power generator according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0094] A mass spectrometer is an instrument for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, with characteristics such as high sensitivity and high specificity, and is widely used in fields such as national defense, medical treatment, materials, and food safety. A dual-channel RF power generator is a key component of mass spectrometry equipment, mainly used for ion transmission focusing and even trapping 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 resonance frequency is jointly determined by the inherent properties L1, L2, and C0 of the circuit and the load capacitance. Both the amplitude and the frequency will affect the movement trajectory of ions, thereby affecting the sensitivity of the mass spectrometer.
[0095] A common method for driving RF electrodes is to combine a frequency synthesizer, an RF amplifier, and a high-quality factor resonator. It is necessary to solve the frequency and impedance matching problems between the RF source and the resonator to resonantly drive capacitive mass spectrometry components such as ion traps and ion guides. These RF driving methods (usually consuming several watts to dozens of watts) are designed for desktop systems, rather than for low-power designs.
[0096] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the maximum peak-to-peak value of the target sine wave signal output by the radio frequency power generator can reach 290V, and the radio frequency signal has a resonance frequency range of 0.5 MHz - 2.5 MHz. Moreover, the phase difference between the two sine wave signals output by the radio frequency power generator is 179 ± 1°, and the maximum relative error of the peak-to-peak value is 1.64V. As Figure 13 shown, the figure shows a voltage curve and a frequency curve, where the voltage curve represents the voltage of the target sine wave signal output by the radio frequency power generator, and the frequency curve represents the frequency of the target sine wave signal output by the radio frequency power generator. When the supply voltage Vs = 5V and a quadrupole capacitive load is added, the circuit of the radio frequency power generator provided by the present invention reaches a stable state after continuous operation for two hours. The maximum peak-to-peak value of the target sine wave signal output by the radio frequency power generator reaches 203.42V. After reaching the stable state, the voltage of the target sine wave signal output by the radio frequency power generator is about 201.46V, and the frequency of the target sine wave signal is about 1.46 MHz.
[0097] Therefore, the radio frequency power generator according to the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously output two-way radio frequency signals with equal amplitudes and opposite phases, and both the amplitude size and the frequency can be programmatically controlled. Moreover, it has a small volume and is easy to carry. It can be used to drive capacitive loads such as pole rods, ion traps, and ion funnels, and can be applied to uses such as the transmission focusing and even trapping of different ions, improving the sensitivity and application range of the mass spectrometer. The embodiment of the present invention provides a realization method for the new trend of miniaturization, intelligence, and portability of mass spectrometry.

Although the embodiments are described separately above, this does not mean that the measures in each embodiment cannot be used advantageously in combination. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various substitutions and modifications, and these substitutions and modifications should all fall within the scope of the present invention.
