[0002] Orbitrap is a high-resolution ion trap mass analyzer. It is a device that uses electrostatic fields to capture and analyze ions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, an electrostatic field orbital trap is provided, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the orbital trap includes: The inner electrode 100 has a first threaded portion 110 and a second threaded portion 120 at both ends thereof; A first outer electrode assembly, comprising a first outer electrode 210 and a first ceramic joint 310 of an integral structure, and having a first through hole matched with the first threaded portion 110; A second outer electrode assembly, comprising a second outer electrode 220 and a second ceramic joint 320 of an integral structure, and having a second through hole matched with the second threaded portion 120; A positioning substrate 400, which is planar and has a third through hole that matches the first threaded portion 110; The middle portion of the inner electrode 100 is accommodated in a cavity formed by the first outer electrode 210 and the second outer electrode 220 being buckled relative to each other; The first threaded portion 110 passes through the first through hole and the third through hole in sequence and is threadedly connected to the first nut 510; the second threaded portion 120 passes through the second through hole and is threadedly connected to the second nut 520; and the end face of the first ceramic joint 310 abuts against a side plane of the positioning substrate 400, the end face of the first nut 510 abuts against the other side plane of the positioning substrate 400, and the end face of the second nut 520 abuts against the end face of the second ceramic joint 320.

[0027] An important concept of the embodiment of the present invention is to seal the first outer electrode 210 and the first ceramic joint 310 as an integral component through an active metal brazing process, and to seal the second outer electrode 220 and the second ceramic joint 320 as an integral component through an active metal brazing process, and to perform precision machining in axial direction and coaxiality, so that the axial tolerance and coaxiality tolerance of the outer electrode assembly sealed as an integral structure are controlled within a strict range; at the same time, the inner electrode 100 is precisely machined to control its overall coaxiality tolerance within a very small range; in this way, during the assembly of the outer electrode assembly and the inner electrode 100, the assembler does not need to consider the axial tolerance and coaxiality tolerance, and the assembly operation is simplified to passing the two ends of the inner electrode 100 through the two outer electrode assemblies respectively, and then fixing them at both ends with nuts.

[0028] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first outer electrode assembly and / or the second outer electrode assembly is obtained by processing in the following manner: The first step is to form a metallization layer on the surface of the ceramic joint by the Mo-Mn method, preferably with a thickness range of 20μm to 50μm, and sinter at a high temperature in the temperature range of 1300℃-1500℃ to achieve chemical bonding between the W / Mo layer and the ceramic: the Mo (molybdenum) particles are bonded to the glass phase (SiO 2 , CaO, etc.) react to form a chemical bond. In this embodiment, the ceramic joint material can be a high-alumina ceramic (such as 99% alumina), which has a high bonding strength with Mo-Mn.

[0029] The second step is to place a brazing foil between the outer electrode and the sintered ceramic joint. It is preferred to use an Ag-Cu-Ti foil with a thickness of 0.1±0.02mm and a Ti content of less than 3%, such as an Ag72Cu28Ti1 (wt.%) foil. Use a graphite clamp to coaxially clamp the outer electrode and the ceramic joint together to ensure that the coaxiality tolerance of the clamping is less than or equal to 0.03mm. Ag72Cu28 is a eutectic composition with excellent liquid phase fluidity, which can fill the gaps in complex interfaces. The active elements Ti and Al 2 O 3 The reaction generates TiO / Ti 3 Al reduces the interface energy; strictly control the proportion of Ti to less than 3% to avoid the formation of brittle Ti-Cu intermetallic compounds; foil with a thickness of about 0.1mm can avoid the formation of residual stress and cracks, while reducing the use of precious metals and reducing material costs.

[0030] Step 3: Place the coaxially clamped outer electrode and the ceramic joint in a vacuum no greater than 5×10 -3 The brazing sealing is completed in an environment with a temperature of 850±10℃ and a heat preservation period of about 10 minutes. The Mo layer serves as an intermediate transition layer and has a gradient transition of thermal expansion coefficient with the stainless steel outer electrode to relieve the interfacial thermal stress. The metallization layer with a thickness of 20μm to 50μm allows the solder to fully spread on the surface of the metallization layer. The metallization layer of this thickness can provide sufficient roughness and active surface to promote the flow of the solder, while also avoiding the introduction of residual stress due to excessive thickness of the metallization layer.

[0031] The fourth step is to perform CNC grinding on the sealing body so that the tolerance of the axial length of the outer electrode and the ceramic joint is controlled to ±0.005 mm, and the coaxiality tolerance does not exceed 0.005 mm, thereby obtaining an outer electrode assembly.

[0032] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the inner electrode 100 includes an electrode body 150 and a first extension piece 130 and a second extension piece 140 located at both ends of the electrode body. The first extension piece 130, the electrode body 150 and the second extension piece 140 are an integrated structure, and the axes of the three coincide. The coincidence mentioned here means roughly coincidence, and the standard is that the coaxiality tolerance of the first extension piece 130, the electrode body 150 and the second extension piece 140 is less than or equal to 0.03mm; The first threaded portion 110 is arranged on the first extension member 130, and the second threaded portion 120 is arranged on the second extension member 140; the tolerance between the first extension member 130 and the first through hole is less than 0.05mm, and the tolerance between the second extension member 140 and the second through hole is less than 0.05mm, so that when the first extension member 130 is located in the first through hole and the second extension member 140 is located in the second through hole, the radial offset of the inner electrode 100 relative to the outer electrode assembly is less than 0.05mm.

[0033] In one embodiment, the second extension member 140 is further provided with a second limiting portion 170, that is, the second threaded portion 120 has an extreme position passing through the second through hole, and this extreme position is determined by the second limiting portion 170. In the assembled state, the second nut 520 is locked with the second threaded portion 120, and at this time, the second limiting portion 170 is against the inner wall of the second external electrode 220 or the second ceramic joint 320; although not shown in the figure, it can be understood that the first limiting portion can also be set on the first extension member 130, and the first threaded portion 110 has an extreme position passing through the first through hole, which is determined by the first limiting portion. In the assembled state, the first nut 510 is locked with the first threaded portion 110, and at this time, the first limiting portion is against the inner wall of the first external electrode 210 or the first ceramic joint 310.

[0034] In addition to providing a limiting portion to prevent axial movement between the inner electrode 100 and the outer electrode assembly, the present embodiment also provides a structure for preventing the inner electrode 100 and the outer electrode assembly from rotating around the axis: the first extension member 130 and the first outer electrode assembly are provided with a mutually cooperating locking structure to prevent the inner electrode 100 from rotating relative to the first outer electrode assembly; or, the second extension member 140 and the second outer electrode assembly are provided with a mutually cooperating locking structure to prevent the inner electrode 100 from rotating relative to the second outer electrode assembly.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the inner electrode 100 is a stainless steel mallet-shaped electrode, and the electrode body 150 has a structure in which the outer diameter narrows from the middle to both sides; Figure 7For example, five six-equal points on the virtual axis of the electrode body 150 of the inner electrode 100 are defined as the first position, the second position, the third position, the fourth position and the fifth position, wherein the third position is the center point of the electrode body 150; in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the inner electrode at the third position is 40% to 45% of the inner diameter of the outer electrode at that position; the outer diameter of the inner electrode at the second position and the fourth position is 50% to 55% of the inner diameter of the outer electrode at that position; the outer diameter of the inner electrode at the first position and the fifth position is 54% to 60% of the inner diameter of the outer electrode at that position. In other words, the position with the largest inner diameter of the outer electrode has the largest distance from the inner electrode 100, and the position with the smallest inner diameter of the outer electrode has the smallest distance from the inner electrode 100, and the corresponding inner diameter of the outer electrode narrows rapidly from the second position to the first position, which is reflected in the definition Figure 7 The gap value between the inner wall surface of the outer electrode and the outer wall of the inner electrode corresponding to the first position in the cross-section is gap1, the gap value between the inner wall surface of the outer electrode and the outer wall of the inner electrode corresponding to the second position is defined as gap2, and the gap value between the inner wall surface of the outer electrode and the outer wall of the inner electrode corresponding to the third position is defined as gap3, then gap1: gap2<gap2: gap3; similarly, from the fourth position toward the fifth position, the corresponding inner diameter of the outer electrode narrows rapidly.

[0036] Compared to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, Figures 2 to 8 In the orbital trap shown in FIG. 1 , no ceramic ring or quartz ring is provided between the first outer electrode 210 of the first outer electrode assembly and the second outer electrode 220 of the second outer electrode assembly, because the integrated structure of the outer electrode and the ceramic joint can greatly reduce the axial tolerance. Figure 1 A radial positioning piece 700 is provided in the middle orbital trap. The orbital trap in this embodiment is not provided with a positioning component in a direction intersecting with the axial direction of the inner electrode 100, because the coaxiality of the inner electrode combined with the coaxiality of the integrated structure of the outer electrode and the ceramic joint can ensure that the assembled orbital trap has a qualified radial tolerance without the need for radial positioning pieces.

[0037] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0038] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
