Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas drying, in particular to a gas buffer drying chamber. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the ion mobility spectrometer, the drift gas enters the ion source area after being pre-treated in the drying filter chamber. In the ion source, the sample molecules are ionized to form ions and migrate to the collector through the drift area under the action of the electric field. In order to ensure the continuous supply of drift gas and the stable operation of the system, a diaphragm air pump is generally installed at the front or rear end of the drying filter chamber. The air pump will continuously extract the drift gas to form a certain airflow. This airflow not only helps the migration of ions, but also brings the generated ions to the detector for detection. During the whole process, the drying chamber, drift gas and diaphragm pump work together to provide a stable, dry and flowing gas environment for the ion mobility spectrometer, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results.

[0003] When the existing gas buffer drying chamber device is in use, the diaphragm pump may generate certain air pressure fluctuations in the system during operation due to the working principle of the diaphragm pump. This fluctuation is caused by the reciprocating motion of the diaphragm. When the diaphragm inhales and discharges the fluid, it will affect the pressure in the system. At the same time, the uncertainty of the arrangement of the filter medium in the drying filter chamber and the structural influence of the air path and the chamber aggravate the air pressure fluctuations, thereby affecting the detection accuracy and stability. Therefore, a gas buffer drying chamber that solves the above problems is needed. Utility Model Content

Through the mutual cooperation of the in-chamber filter element 4 and the gas joint 7 on the device, when the gas enters and exits the gas, the gas needs to pass through the in-chamber filter element 4, and the in-chamber filter element 4 on the device is used to filter the gas, so that the airflow is diverted and filtered when it passes through the in-chamber filter element 4 from the gas joint 7 and enters the device, and then the elastic polytetrafluoroethylene film effect of the in-chamber filter element 4 and the buffer membrane 10 is used to eliminate the fluctuation of air pressure, so as to avoid the air pressure fluctuation affecting the detection accuracy.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the filter element 4 in the bin is provided with a plurality of filter holes. Due to the characteristic that the filter element 4 in the bin on the device is a new type of filter material, the filter element 4 in the bin on the device is made of multi-layer stainless steel mesh through special lamination pressing, and the filter element 4 in the bin on the device is arranged in the upper and lower parts of the molecular sieve desiccant 13, so that large particles on the device will be filtered out, and then the gas will be pumped into the device.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer film 10 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the film thickness of the buffer film 10 is less than 1 mm. Due to the characteristics of the buffer film 10 on the device being made of polytetrafluoroethylene, the buffer film 10 on the device has high transparency and high elasticity. When high-speed pulse gas passes through the inside of the drying chamber body, the buffer film 10 will form a damper-like effect to reduce the air pressure fluctuation in the gas path. The buffer film 10 is installed at the position of the buffer cavity window 8, so that the staff can observe the inside of the device from the outside.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the color-changing silica gel desiccant 14 is made of fine-pored silica gel, which is a highly active adsorption material, and the molecular sieve desiccant 13 is made of aluminosilicate compounds.

[0027] The working principle is as follows: first, the filter element 4 in the bin and the gas joint 7 on the device are used in coordination with each other, so that when the gas enters and exits the gas joint 7 on the device, the gas needs to pass through the filter element 4 in the bin, and the filter element 4 in the bin on the device is used to filter the gas, so that the airflow is diverted and filtered when it passes through the filter element 4 in the bin from the gas joint 7 and enters the device, and the elastic buffer membrane 10 will form a damper-like effect, making the pulse gas entering the bin more continuous and smooth, thereby avoiding air pressure fluctuations and affecting the detection accuracy. Then, the buffer membrane 10 on the device and the molecular sieve desiccant 13 and the color-changing silica gel desiccant 14 are used in coordination with each other, so that when the molecular sieve desiccant 13 and the color-changing silica gel desiccant 14 on the device filter the gas in the inner cavity of the drying bin body 5, when the color of the color-changing silica gel desiccant 14 in the device changes or after the molecular sieve desiccant 13 has been used for a long time, the transparent buffer membrane 10 is used as a window, and then the molecular sieve desiccant 13 and the color-changing silica gel desiccant 14 in the device are observed to understand the use status of the drying medium.
