Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sample injection devices, in particular to a sample injection device for a plasma mass spectrometer. Background Art

[0002] Plasma mass spectrometer is an analytical instrument used in the fields of environmental science and technology and resource science and technology. It is an instrument for determining ultra-trace elements and isotope ratios. It consists of a plasma generator, atomization chamber, torch, quadrupole mass spectrometer and a fast-channel electron multiplier tube (called an ion detector or collector). Its working principle is: the atomizer sends the solution sample into the plasma light source, vaporizes at high temperature, dissociates the ionized gas, and the ions collected by the copper or nickel sampling cone form a molecular beam under a low vacuum pressure of about 133.322 Pa, and then enters the quadrupole mass spectrometer through a 1-2 mm diameter interceptor plate. After mass separation by the mass filter, it reaches the ion detector. According to the proportional relationship between the detector count and concentration, the element content or isotope ratio can be measured. The solution sample is generally sucked into the body by a special injection needle and then atomized by the atomizer.

[0003] In the prior art, when traditional sampling devices are used to sample different samples, the sample tubes need to be replaced manually in order to continuously test different samples. It is difficult to achieve intermittent sampling. When performing a large number of tests, technicians are easily confused, making the sampling process time-consuming and laborious, resulting in poor sampling efficiency. How to invent a sampling device for a plasma mass spectrometer to improve these problems has become an urgent problem to be solved by technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

[0007] The fixing table is provided with a mounting groove inside, a motor is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, a fixing block and an ear plate are fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the fixing table respectively, a double-headed bevel gear is installed on the inner wall of the fixing block, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the ear plate, one end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the first driven bevel gear, the outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the first sector gear, the inner wall of the fixing table is rotatably connected to the driving shaft, the upper end of the driving shaft is fixedly connected to the second driven bevel gear, and the outer wall of the driving shaft is fixedly connected to the second sector gear;

[0008] The inner wall of the adjusting platform is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed platform, the outer wall of the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to a gear ring meshing with the second sector gear, the upper end of the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to a mounting platform, and the inner wall of the mounting platform is installed with six equidistant sample tubes, one of which is located directly below the fixed tube.

[0009] Preferably, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft, the gear ratio of the second sector gear and the ring gear is one to six, the second sector gear is a 270-degree ring gear, and the output end of the pump body is connected to the inlet of the mass spectrometer.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor is started to rotate the driving shaft, and the second sector gear on the outside of the driving shaft cooperates with the gear ring on the outside of the fixed shaft to make the upper adjustment table and the mounting table drive the upper sample tube to rotate. For every rotation of the driving shaft, the fixed shaft on one side drives the upper fixed frame to rotate sixty degrees, so that the sample tube close to the fixed tube can be replaced automatically.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the double-headed bevel gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block, one end of the double-headed bevel gear is meshingly connected to the first driven bevel gear, and the other end of the double-headed bevel gear is meshingly connected to the second driven bevel gear, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a first sector gear, and the first sector gear is a ninety-degree ring gear.

[0012] Preferably, a slide groove is provided at the bottom end of the adjustment platform, six equally spaced slots are provided on the inner wall of the slide groove, and a plurality of rolling-connected balls are installed on the inner wall of the slide groove.

When the first sector gear and the rack are disengaged, the second sector gear and the gear ring are meshed to make the adjusting table rotate. At the same time, the push rod rebounds and the ball on its top and the inner wall of the slide groove is pressed against to slide along the slide groove. After that, the driving shaft rotates and repeats the above operation, automatically completing the sampling of different samples and improving the efficiency of sampling.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] The second sector gear is arranged to cooperate with the gear ring to make the fixed shaft drive the mounting platform above to rotate so as to replace the sample tube. The fixed shaft rotates sixty degrees for every rotation of the driving shaft. At the same time, the mounting platform stops rotating after the driving shaft rotates for ninety degrees, so as to facilitate the replacement of the sample tube. At this time, the ejector rod cooperates with the spring to slide out of the slot to lift the sample tube above so that the fixed tube extends into the sample tube, which is convenient for automatic sampling of the sample. At the same time, after the driving shaft rotates for ninety degrees, the first sector gear cooperates with the rack to make the ejector rod slide down into the slide groove, lower the sample tube to expose the fixed tube inside the tube body, and automatically disengage the fixed tube and the sample tube for subsequent rotation to replace the sample tube, thereby directly sampling different samples and improving the efficiency of sampling.

For each rotation of the driving shaft 10, the fixed shaft 18 on one side drives the upper fixed frame 28 to rotate sixty degrees. When the driving shaft 10 rotates to drive the second sector gear 12 to rotate the fixed shaft 18, when the second sector gear 12 is out of contact with the gear ring 19, the slot 22 on the adjusting platform 20 is aligned with the ejector rod 17. The ejector rod 17 rebounds and slides upward under the action of the spring 14 to lift the upper sample tube 25 so that one end of the fixed tube 29 extends into the sample tube 25 for sampling. , the driving shaft 10 continues to rotate the second driven bevel gear 11 at its upper end to cooperate with the double-headed bevel gear 5 and the first driven bevel gear 8, so that the rotating shaft 7 drives the first sector gear 9 to rotate and mesh with the rack 16 to make the fixed sleeve 15 slide down and drive the push rod 17 to slide down into the slide groove 21.
