Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ion chromatographs, and more specifically, to a liquid phase degassing device for an ion chromatograph. Background Art
[0002] Ion chromatography is a type of high performance liquid chromatography, also known as high performance ion chromatography or modern ion chromatography. The main difference from traditional ion exchange column chromatography is that the resin has a high degree of crosslinking and a low exchange capacity, and the injection volume is very small.
[0003] An ion chromatograph is a type of high performance liquid chromatograph. It is mainly used for the analysis of environmental samples, including anions and cations in surface water, drinking water, rainwater, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater, acid deposition and atmospheric particulate matter, as well as the analysis of trace impurities in water and reagents related to the microelectronics industry. However, when the existing ion chromatograph is in use, the liquid coming out of the constant flow pump is prone to generating bubbles. These bubbles may interfere with the sample separation and detection processes, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of the analysis results, and the bubbles may cause damage to some sensitive components of the ion chromatograph. For example, in some cases, the bubbles may pass through the packing in the liquid chromatography column, destroying the structure of the stationary phase and resulting in a decrease in column efficiency. How to invent a liquid phase degassing device for an ion chromatograph to improve these problems has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To make up for the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a liquid phase degassing device for an ion chromatograph, aiming to improve the problems that bubbles may interfere with the sample separation and detection processes, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of the analysis results, and the bubbles may cause damage to some sensitive components of the ion chromatograph.
[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] The utility model provides a liquid phase degassing device for an ion chromatograph, including a chromatograph body. The chromatograph body is connected with a liquid storage cylinder and a pump body. One side of the pump body is provided with a driving motor and a degassing box. The upper end of the degassing box is provided with a transparent sealing cover. The inside of the degassing box is provided with a microporous filter membrane, and further includes:
[0007] A degassing component, which is located inside the degassing box and can be used to remove the bubbles generated by the liquid pumped out by the pump body.
[0008] Preferably, the water inlet end of the pump body is fixedly connected with the liquid storage cylinder, the water drainage end of the pump body is fixedly connected with the degassing box, and the liquid storage cylinder and the pump body are fixedly connected with the chromatograph body.
[0009] Preferably, the drive motor is fixedly connected to the chromatograph body, the drive motor is located at one side of the degassing box, the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a driving wheel, and the driving wheel is connected to a transmission belt.
[0010] Preferably, a middle side wall of the degassing box is fixedly connected to a limiting frame, the limiting frame is sleeved on the outside of the microporous filter membrane, and a vibration plate is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting frame.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibration plate can be made to swing up and down, thereby generating a vibration effect to clean the impurities attached to the surface of the microporous filter membrane.
[0012] Preferably, the degassing assembly includes a rotating shaft and a mounting bar, each of which is provided with a pair, the mounting bar is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the degassing box, the mounting bar is located below the rotating shaft, and a plurality of evenly distributed vibration plates are fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the mounting bar.
[0013] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the degassing box, and the other end of the rotating shaft is the side wall of the degassing box. The end of the rotating shaft located outside the degassing box is fixedly connected to a driven wheel, and the driven wheel and the driving wheel are connected through a transmission belt.
[0014] Preferably, the side walls at both ends of the rotating shaft are fixedly connected with side plates, a plurality of fixed rods are distributed in a circular array on the opposite side walls of each pair of side plates, a plurality of evenly distributed degassing threads are arranged between two adjacent fixed rods, and the outer wall of each fixed rod is fixedly connected with a plurality of toggle rods corresponding to the vibration plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the water pump and the drive motor can be started, so that the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the driving wheel, the transmission belt and the driven wheel, and then the side plate drives the fixed rod to rotate around the rotating shaft as the axis. In this process, the toggle rod on one side of the microporous filter membrane squeezes and vibrates the vibration plate. At the same time, during the rotation of the rotating shaft, the toggle rod toggles the vibration plate. When the toggle rod is separated from the vibration plate, the vibration plate itself vibrates, thereby generating a sound wave vibration effect, thereby destroying the bubble structure, causing it to rise to the water surface and burst, thereby performing degassing treatment.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0017] When the chromatograph is working, the toggle lever can toggle the vibrating piece and make it bend. When the toggle lever separates from the vibrating piece, the vibrating piece vibrates by itself and produces an acoustic vibration effect, thereby destroying the bubble structure in the liquid, causing the bubbles to rise to the water surface and burst. Degassing is carried out through periodic vibration. At the same time, the degassing wire can cut the bubbles in the liquid to reduce the generation of bubbles. During this process, the toggle lever will periodically squeeze and vibrate the vibrating plate, which can make the vibrating plate swing up and down, thereby generating a vibration effect to clean the impurities attached to the outer surface of the microporous filter membrane, further improving the degassing efficiency, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results and reducing the damage to internal components.

[0026] The degassing component 9 is located inside the degassing box 5 and can be used to remove bubbles generated when the pump body 3 pumps out liquid.
[0027] Furthermore, the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the chromatograph body 1, the drive motor 4 is located on one side of the degassing box 5, the output end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the driving wheel 10, and the driving wheel 10 is connected to the transmission belt 11; the degassing component 9 includes a rotating shaft 92 and a mounting bar 96, the rotating shaft 92 and the mounting bar 96 are each provided with a pair, the mounting bar 96 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the degassing box 5, the mounting bar 96 is located below the rotating shaft 92, and the upper side wall of the mounting bar 96 is fixedly connected to a number of evenly distributed vibration plates 97; one end of the rotating shaft 92 is connected to the side wall of the degassing box 5 Rotationally connected, the other end of the rotating shaft 92 is on the side wall of the degassing box 5, and one end of the rotating shaft 92 located outside the degassing box 5 is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 91, and the driven wheel 91 and the driving wheel 10 are connected through a transmission belt 11; the side walls at both ends of the rotating shaft 92 are fixedly connected to side plates 93, and a number of fixed rods 95 are distributed in a circular array on the opposite side walls of each pair of side plates 93, and a number of evenly distributed degassing threads 98 are arranged between two adjacent fixed rods 95, and the outer wall of each fixed rod 95 is fixedly connected to a number of toggle rods 94 corresponding to the vibration plate 97.
[0028] It should be noted that the water pump 3 and the drive motor 4 can be started, so that the drive motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 92 to rotate through the driving wheel 10, the transmission belt 11 and the driven wheel 91. Subsequently, the fixed rod 95 is driven by the side plate 93 to rotate around the rotating shaft 92 as the axis. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 92 itself, the toggle rod 94 can drive to toggle the vibrating plate 97 and bend it. When the toggle rod 94 is separated from the vibrating plate 97, the vibrating plate 97 vibrates itself and generates a sound wave vibration effect, thereby destroying the bubble structure in the liquid, causing the bubbles to rise to the water surface and burst, so as to perform degassing treatment. At the same time, when the rotating shaft 92 rotates, a plurality of degassing filaments 98 can be driven to cut the bubbles in the liquid to reduce the generation of bubbles.

And when the liquid level inside the degassing box 5 rises, the liquid can be further vibrated to lift the bubbles to the water surface and cause them to burst.
[0031] The working principle of the liquid phase degassing device of this ion chromatograph: The water pump 3 and the drive motor 4 can be started, so that the rotating shaft 92 of the drive motor 4 rotates, and then drives the fixed rod 95 to rotate.

At the same time, the fixed rod 95 drives a plurality of degassing filaments 98 to cut the bubbles in the liquid to reduce the generation of bubbles.

And when the liquid level inside the degassing box 5 rises, the liquid can be further vibrated to lift the bubbles to the water surface and cause them to burst. Finally, the degassed and filtered liquid is transported to the inside of the chromatograph body 1 through the connecting pipe.
