[0020] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings of the specification.

[0021] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may be practiced in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Secondly, as used herein, an "embodiment" or "embodiments" refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments individually or selectively.

[0023] Thirdly, the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure are enlarged locally in a non-generalized scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width, and depth should be included.

[0024] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1-6 shown, a mass analyzer proposed by the present invention includes a support unit 1, a connection unit 2, a measurement unit 3, a clamping unit 5, an adjustment unit 6, and a driving unit 7; The support unit 1 includes a base 101, a plurality of support seats 102 all provided on the base 101, and a plurality of lifting assemblies 103 all slidably provided on the support seats 102; the connection unit 2 is rotatably provided on the lifting assembly 103; the measurement unit 3 is provided on the connection unit 2 and generates a quadrupole electric field by applying a combination of a DC voltage and a radio frequency AC voltage, and is used to screen ions of a specific mass according to the mass-to-charge ratio and filter other ions; the clamping unit 5 is provided on the connection unit 2 and abuts against the measurement unit 3; the adjustment unit 6 is provided on the support seat 102 and its output end is connected to the lifting assembly 103; the driving unit 7 is provided on the support seat 102 and is drivingly connected to the adjustment unit 6. The lifting assembly 103 includes a lifting seat 1031 rotatably connected to a connecting rod 604, and a rotating seat 1032 provided on the lifting seat 1031 and rotatably connected to a fixed seat 201; positioning magnets magnetically connected are provided on both the rotating seat 1032 and the fixed seat 201; the rotating seat 1032 can be connected to the fixed seat 201, and by a plurality of positioning magnets evenly distributed on the outer side of the fixed seat 201, when rotated by a certain angle, the two magnets can be magnetically connected, thereby relatively fixing the fixed seat 201 to prevent the fixed seat 201 from rotating during use.

[0025] The measuring unit 3 includes electrode rods 301 which are four in number and are respectively arranged at the fixed slots 2011, and a collision reaction cell 302 arranged on the electrode rods 301; the connecting block 202 is slidably connected and clamped with the electrode rods 301; the electrode rods 301 are respectively connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so as to be able to perform mass analysis on substances, and the detection accuracy is increased through the collision reaction cell 302.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting unit 2 is installed on the lifting assembly 103, and the measuring unit 3 is installed on the connecting unit 2, so that the measuring unit 3 can be clamped on the connecting unit 2. Through the structure of the connecting block 202, the measuring unit 3 can be quickly installed and quickly disassembled and replaced. After the electrode rods 301 are installed, the driving unit 7 drives the adjusting unit 6 to move, and the adjusting unit 6 drives the lifting assembly 103 to move, so that the lifting assembly 103 can drive the connecting unit 2 to move horizontally or vertically, so as to be able to adjust the position of the connecting unit 2, so as to be able to adjust the position of the lifting assembly 103, and the concentricity of the connecting unit 2 can be adjusted, so as to facilitate detection.

[0027] Embodiment 2: As Figures 1-6 shown, a mass analyzer proposed by the present invention. Compared with Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the connecting unit 2 includes a fixed seat 201 which has four fixed slots 2011 and is rotatably arranged on the lifting assembly 103, four connecting blocks 202 which are detachably connected to the fixed seat 201, and a clamping block 203 which is arranged on the connecting block 202 and is slidably arranged on the fixed seat 201 and is clamped; the fixed seat 201 cooperates with the connecting block 202 to clamp the measuring unit 3; an anti-disengagement unit 4 is arranged on the fixed seat 201 for clamping the connecting block 202. The anti-disengagement unit 4 includes a clamping disc 401 rotatably arranged on the fixed seat 201, a connecting sleeve 402 which is threadedly connected to the fixed seat 201 and is clamped and slidably connected to the clamping disc 401, and an elastic member 403 arranged on the fixed seat 201 and abutted against the clamping disc 401; the clamping disc 401 is located at the clamping block 203 and is clamped with the clamping block 203 and abutted against the electrode rod 301.

[0028] In this embodiment, when installing the electrode rod 301, rotate the clamping disc 401 to separate the clamping disc 401 from the clamping block 203, avoiding blocking the clamping block 203, so that the connecting block 202 can be removed from the fixed seat 201, exposing the fixing groove 2011. Thus, it is convenient to directly place the electrode rod 301 on the fixed seat 201. Then align the clamping block 203 with the fixed seat 201 and insert it into the fixed seat 201, so that the connecting block 202 is located at the fixing groove 2011 and presses on the electrode rod 301. Release the clamping disc 401, and the first elastic member 403 pushes the clamping disc 401 to rotate, so that the clamping disc 401 seals the clamping block 203 and the connecting block 202, preventing the clamping block 203 from falling off the fixed seat 201. The connecting sleeve 402 is used to relatively fix the clamping disc 401 to prevent the clamping disc 401 from falling off the fixed seat 201 when rotating. A hollow convex tube for installing the clamping disc 401 and the connecting sleeve 402 is provided at the middle position of the fixed seat 201.

[0029] Embodiment Three: As Figures 1-6 shown, a mass analyzer proposed by the present invention. Compared with Embodiment One or Embodiment Two, in this embodiment, a bolt hole is provided on the connecting block 202. The clamping unit 5 includes a pressing column 502 embedded and slidably arranged in the bolt hole, a second elastic member 503 arranged in the bolt hole and abutted against the pressing column 502, and a counter-bolt 501 threadedly connected to the connecting block 202 and abutted against the pressing column 502. The lower end of the pressing column 502 is in an arc structure and abuts against the outer surface of the electrode rod 301.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pressing column 502 is inserted into the bolt hole, and the sliding block 603 is sleeved on the pressing column 502. At this time, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 503, the pressing column 502 does not protrude from the connecting block 202, so as to prevent jamming when installing the connecting block 202. After the connecting block 202 is installed on the fixed seat 201 and the electrode rod 301 is installed, screw in the counter-bolt 501. The counter-bolt 501 pushes the pressing column 502 to move downward, so that the pressing column 502 presses on the electrode rod 301 to fix the electrode rod 301. At the same time, the reaction force generated by the counter-bolt 501 cooperating with the electrode rod 301 makes the connecting block 202 abut against the fixed seat 201, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the connecting block 202 and the connecting block 202 and preventing loosening, so as to fix the electrode rod 301.

[0031] When the counter-bolt 501 is loosened, the second elastic member 503 pushes the pressing column 502 to separate from the electrode rod 301, so as to avoid the pressing column 502 getting stuck on the electrode rod 301 during disassembly, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly operations.

[0032] Embodiment Four: AsFigures 1-6 As shown in Figures 1-6 , a mass analyzer proposed by the present invention, compared with Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 or Embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the adjusting unit 6 includes a guide rail 601 arranged on the support base 102, a lead screw group 602 rotatably arranged on the support base 102, two sliding blocks 603 slidably arranged on the guide rail 601, and a plurality of connecting rods 604 with both ends respectively rotatably connected to the sliding blocks 603 and the lifting assembly 103; the lead screw group 602 includes a first lead screw 6021 and a second lead screw 6022; when one of the sliding blocks 603 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 6021, it has a clearance fit with the second lead screw 6022, and the other sliding block 603 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 6022 and has a clearance fit with the first lead screw 6021.

[0033] Furthermore, the driving unit 7 includes a handle 701 slidably arranged on the second lead screw 6022, a relative rotation gear set 703 arranged on the handle 701 with its output end connected to the first lead screw 6021, a co-rotation gear set 704 arranged on the handle 701 with its output end connected to the first lead screw 6021 and misaligned with the relative rotation gear set 703, and an elastic member 702 arranged on the outer peripheral side of the handle 701 and connected to the relative rotation gear set 703; a protective shell is arranged outside the relative rotation gear set 703 and the co-rotation gear set 704; the elastic member 702 abuts against the protective shell, and the driving unit 7 is used to drive the lifting assembly 103 to translate or move up and down through the adjusting unit 6.

[0034] The relative rotation gear set 703 includes a first driving gear arranged on the handle 701, and a first driven gear arranged on the first lead screw 6021 and meshed with the first driving gear; The co-rotation gear set 704 includes a second driving gear arranged on the handle 701, a reversing gear rotatably arranged on the mounting shell and meshed with the second driving gear, and a second driven gear arranged on the first lead screw 6021 and meshed with the reversing gear. There is a gap between the first driven gear and the second driven gear, and the thickness of the gap is less than or equal to the thickness of the first driven gear. By making the gap smaller than the thickness of the first driven gear, when switching the motion mode, the second driving gear can be directly and synchronously engaged with the reversing gear when the first driving gear is separated from the first driven gear, thus avoiding the problem of meshing misalignment.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic member 702 is used to push the first driving gear to move, so that the first driving gear drives the handle 701 to move, and the handle 701 drives the second driving gear to move. As a result, under normal circumstances, the co-rotating gear set 704 is in a working state, while the counter-rotating gear set 703 is in a disengaged state. At this time, rotating the handle 701 will drive the second threaded rod 6022 to rotate, and at the same time drive the reversing gear to rotate through the second driving gear, thereby driving the second driven gear and the first threaded rod 6021 to rotate, so that the rotation directions of the first threaded rod 6021 and the second threaded rod 6022 are the same, and they rotate clockwise or counterclockwise at the same time. At this time, the two sliding blocks 603 slide synchronously, so as to drive the lifting assembly 103 to translate left and right without adjusting the height of the lifting assembly 103, thereby being able to adjust the horizontal position of the lifting assembly 103, and then being able to adjust the position of the connecting unit 2, and further adjusting the position of the measuring unit 3, which can conveniently adjust the position in the horizontal direction.

[0036] When the handle 701 is pulled outwards, the handle 701 drives the first driving gear and the second driving gear to move, so that the first driving gear approaches the first driven gear and the second driving gear gradually separates from the reversing gear. As a result, when the second driving gear separates from the reversing gear, the first driving gear can mesh with the second driving gear to ensure the smoothness of meshing. At this time, the counter-rotating gear set 703 is in a working state and the co-rotating gear set 704 is in a failure state. If the handle 701 is rotated, the handle 701 will drive the first driving gear to rotate, and the first driving gear drives the first driven gear to rotate. At this time, the first driving gear and the first driven gear will rotate in opposite directions (one clockwise and one counterclockwise), so as to drive the first threaded rod 6021 and the second threaded rod 6022 to rotate, thereby being able to drive the counter-rotating gear set 703 to approach or move away, drive the co-rotating gear set 704 to move, and thus be able to adjust the height position of the lifting assembly 103, and can adjust the height of the connecting unit 2 according to the installation requirements.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art.
