For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] Based on the principle of hydrocarbon presence in liquid krypton-xenon, the separation processes of krypton, xenon, and hydrocarbons in the air separation tower are not completely independent but rather mutually influential. Accurate analysis of the hydrocarbon content in liquid krypton-xenon is necessary to guide safe production operations; therefore, sampling accuracy is crucial. To this end, based on the process medium and the state of the analytical items, and combined with practical application experience, multiple analyses and statistical results of the sampling tube insertion depth and diameter were conducted to design the liquid sampling device 1 and analytical device 100 described in this application. The liquid sampling device 1 maximizes the guarantee of sampling in a pure liquid phase, ensuring the authenticity of the sample and the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a liquid sampling device 1, which includes a vacuum tube 10, a drain tube 20, and a sampling tube 30. The vacuum tube 10 is provided with a accommodating space 11 and a first opening 12 communicating with the accommodating space 11. The vacuum tube 10 has a cold preservation effect. The drain tube 20 is located in the accommodating space 11 and is provided with a second opening 21 for placing the sample to be sampled. The sampling tube 30 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32 arranged opposite to each other. The first end 31 is used to be inserted into the drain tube 20 in sequence through the first opening 12 and the second opening 21 to extract the sample to be sampled from the drain tube 20. The first end 31 of the sampling tube 30 has a pointed structure.
[0029] Specifically, this application uses a vacuum tube 10 as insulation, with a drain pipe 20 located within it, ensuring the vacuum tube 10 maintains the stability of the sample within the drain pipe 20. Simultaneously, a sampling pipe 30 is also located within the vacuum tube 10, allowing the sample retrieved through the sampling pipe 30 to remain in a cryogenic liquid state. This avoids the problem of traditional sampling environments having both gas and liquid phases, where the hydrocarbons to be analyzed need to remain in the liquid phase, and the conversion of hydrocarbons to the gaseous phase leads to low sampling accuracy and significant errors in subsequent analysis results. Furthermore, the design of the second opening 21 of the drain pipe 20 allows the sampling pipe 30 to retrieve the sample to be taken from within the drain pipe 20. The sampling pipe 30 also has a pointed structure on the side near the drain pipe 20. This pointed structure, compared to the flat opening design in the prior art, facilitates the retrieval of an accurate number of samples from the drain pipe 20, achieving real-time and accurate sample retrieval. In one embodiment, the sample includes cryogenic liquid krypton-xenon.
[0030] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The tip angle θ of the tip structure ranges from 40° to 50°. In one embodiment, the tip angle θ can be 40°, 41°, 42°, 43°, 44°, 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49°, or 50°. This angle design facilitates the removal of the required number of samples from the sampling tube 30, improving sampling accuracy.
[0031] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The first distance D1 between the tip structure and the bottom of the drain pipe 20 is 5mm-6mm. Specifically, the first distance D1 can be 5mm, 5.1mm, 5.2mm, 5.3mm, 5.4mm, 5.5mm, 5.6mm, 5.7mm, 5.8mm, 5.9mm, or 6mm. At this time, the sampling point is set at the lowest point of the system (where hydrocarbons are most readily available), and a vacuum tube 10 is used for insulation to ensure the liquid phase state, guarantee reliable and accurate sampling, and accurately measure the actual hydrocarbon content to guide safe production operations.
[0032] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The drain pipe 20 has a circular cross-section, and the second distance D2 between the first opening 12 of the vacuum tube 10 and the center of the drain pipe 20 is not less than 200 mm. Specifically, the second distance D2 can be 200 mm, 210 mm, 220 mm, 230 mm, 240 mm, 250 mm, 260 mm, 270 mm, 280 mm, 290 mm, or 300 mm. By limiting the second distance D2, the heat insulation effect of the vacuum tube 10 can be guaranteed, so that the sample to be taken into the sampling tube 30 can remain in a liquid phase state.
[0033] In one embodiment, the roundness of the tip structure is no greater than 10 μm. Specifically, the roundness of the tip structure can be 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, or 10 μm. The smaller the roundness of the tip structure, the smoother the edge of the tip structure, which can prevent hydrocarbons from accumulating at the edge, improve production safety, and prevent explosions.
[0034] In one embodiment, the diameter of the sampling tube 30 is in the range of 8-12 mm. Specifically, the diameter of the sampling tube 30 can be 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, or 12 mm. This avoids the problem of inaccurate sampling volume caused by an unsuitable sampling tube 30, and improves sampling accuracy.
[0035] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The liquid sampling device 1 also includes a tube platform 40, which is disposed in the accommodating space 11 and located outside the drain pipe 20. The first end 31 of the sampling tube 30 passes through the tube platform 40 and is inserted into the drain pipe 20. The sampling tube 30 and the drain pipe 20 are both fixedly connected to the tube platform 40. The drain pipe 20 is a circular tube, and the second opening 21 of the drain pipe 20 is an elliptical opening. The vacuum tube 10 includes a circular portion 13 and a tubular portion 14 that are connected and communicate with each other. The end of the tubular portion 14 that is not connected to the circular portion 13 is provided with a first opening 12. The drain pipe 20 and the tube platform 40 are both disposed in the circular portion 13.
[0036] Specifically, the tube platform 40 is fitted onto the second opening 21 of the drain pipe 20, and the first end 31 of the sampling tube 30 passes through the tube platform 40 into the drain pipe 20 to retrieve the sample. Simultaneously, the relative positions of the sampling tube 30, the drain pipe 20, and the tube platform 40 are fixed to ensure the stability of the sampling process. Since the drain pipe 20 is a circular tube, its second opening 21 is elliptical to avoid a dead zone between the tube platform 40 and the second opening 21 of the drain pipe 20, which could cause processing difficulties and abnormalities during sampling. The vacuum tube 10 includes a circular portion 13 and a tubular portion 14 that are interconnected and communicate with each other. The circular portion 13 is fitted around the drain pipe 20, and the tubular portion 14 is fitted around the sampling tube 30. The end of the tubular portion 14 away from the circular portion 13 has a first opening 12 to facilitate the passage of the sampling tube 30. The drain pipe 20 and the tube platform 40 are both located in the circular part 13 to ensure the protection of the sample to be taken in the drain pipe 20.
[0037] Please see Figure 3 The tube platform 40 and the drain pipe 20 are fixedly connected by a fillet weld. This ensures a seamless connection between the drain pipe 20 and the tube platform 40, guaranteeing good sealing and preventing sample spillage or hydrocarbon sample accumulation in the contact area, which could lead to explosions or other hazards.
[0038] In one embodiment, the tube platform 40 and the sampling tube 30 are fixedly connected by a fillet weld.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 This application also provides an analytical apparatus 100, which includes the liquid sampling device 1, extension tube 2, and analytical evaporator 3 as described in the above embodiments. The extension tube 2 is connected to the sampling tube 30; the analytical evaporator 3 is connected to the extension tube 2 and is used to analyze the sample taken from the sampling tube 30. Specifically, the sampling tube 30, extension tube 2, and analytical evaporator 3 are connected in sequence to facilitate the sample in the sampling tube 30 entering the analytical evaporator 3 for effective analysis of hydrocarbon content. In one embodiment, an extension vacuum tube 10 is also fitted around the extension tube 2 to provide thermal insulation protection for the sample in the extension tube 2, ensuring the sample remains in a liquid phase and guaranteeing the accuracy of the analytical results.
[0040] Please continue reading. Figure 4 An on / off valve 4 is installed on the extension tube 2, which is used to control the extension tube 2 to be open or closed. Specifically, the on / off valve 4 facilitates the control of the analysis device 100. When not in operation, simply select the "off" mode in the on / off valve 4 to stop its operation. When the on / off valve 4 is switched to the "on" mode, the analysis operation can begin.
