[0044] Traditional nanoparticle analyzers, such as laser particle size analyzers, primarily rely on light scattering to analyze particle size. Despite their high accuracy and stability, they still face numerous challenges in practical application. For example, the sample cell is designed with a single outlet, requiring the cell to be removed from the analyzer for cleaning when switching between different samples, a cumbersome operation.

[0045] The utility model provides an analysis device that can solve the problem of complicated operations when analyzing different samples.

[0046] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the analysis device comprises:

[0047] The rack 100 has a mounting surface 110 .

[0048] The sample pool 200 has a liquid inlet (not shown) and a liquid outlet (not shown). The liquid (sample) in the sample pool 200 enters from the liquid inlet and is discharged from the liquid outlet. That is to say, in this embodiment, the sample in the sample pool 200 flows in one direction, and the flow direction is from the liquid inlet toward the liquid outlet. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a one-way flow valve body can be provided at the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet to achieve the above operation. When the analysis device of the present application is analyzing different samples and needs to replace the sample, it is not necessary to remove the sample pool 200 from the rack 100. It is only necessary to flush the sample pool 200 and then inject the new sample into the sample pool 200, thereby solving the existing The technical problems existing in the technology are as follows: after sample 1 is analyzed, cleaning liquid is injected into the sample pool 200 through the liquid inlet, and sample 1 is discharged outward through the liquid outlet. In order to facilitate the collection of waste liquid for analysis, a waste liquid collection device can be designed at the liquid outlet, and the discharged waste liquid, that is, sample 1, can directly enter the waste liquid collection device. After sample 1 is discharged from the sample pool 200, sample 2 to be analyzed can be injected into the sample pool 200 through the liquid inlet. Such operation can reduce the tedious operation of removing the sample pool 200 from the rack 100, and can also ensure that when multiple samples are analyzed, the position of the sample pool 200 remains fixed, which is convenient for subsequent comparison of analysis results.

[0049] The sample cell 200 is used to receive a laser beam, which is arranged perpendicular to the mounting plane 110. It goes without saying that the analysis device of this embodiment may be provided with a laser. In this case, the laser beam emitted by the laser is arranged perpendicular to the mounting plane 110 and irradiates the sample cell 200. In other embodiments, the analysis device may not be equipped with a laser, and the laser may be installed on other structures. In this case, the laser beam emitted by the laser is arranged perpendicular to the mounting plane 110 and irradiates the sample cell 200. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the sample cell 200 is horizontally mounted on the mounting plane 110, the laser beam emitted by the laser will irradiate the sample in the sample cell 200 perpendicularly. When the sample cell 200 is tilted on the mounting plane 110, there is an acute angle between the laser beam emitted by the laser and the sample plane in the sample cell 200, and the angle between the laser beam and the sample plane in the sample cell 200 will change as the tilt of the sample cell 200 changes.

[0050] The image acquisition module 300 is mounted on the mounting plane 110 to collect image information of the sample in the sample pool 200. That is, the image acquisition module 300 is located on one side of the sample pool 200 and can obtain image information of the sample in the sample pool 200 through the side of the sample pool 200. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting plane 110 in the rack 100 can be a single entire plane or a plurality of stepped planes. The image acquisition module 300 can be configured as a camera to obtain image information of the sample in the sample pool 200. After the image information of the sample is obtained, it can be transmitted to a display device (computer) for display. If the image information needs to be transmitted to a display device, the image acquisition module 300 in this embodiment also needs to be electrically connected to the display device.

[0051] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The sample cell 200 is tilted relative to the mounting plane 110. This means that an acute angle exists between the laser beam and the sample plane in the sample cell 200. As the tilt angle of the sample cell 200 changes, the angle between the sample plane in the sample cell 200 and the laser beam also changes. Because the sample cell 200 is tilted relative to the mounting plane 110, the laser beam irradiating the sample cell 200 at this time provides more accurate image information of the particle concentration and particle number density in the sample cell 200, resulting in better analytical and detection performance for the analytical device.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The analysis device further includes a tilting seat 400, which is disposed on the mounting plane 110. The tilting seat 400 has an inclined surface 410, which is arranged at a preset angle to the mounting plane 110. The sample pool 200 is mounted on the inclined surface 410. Furthermore, the sample pool 200 is mounted on the inclined surface 410 of the tilting seat 400 by screw locking. Thus, in this embodiment, different tilting seats 400 can be replaced to adjust the tilt angle of the sample pool 200. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the tilt angle of the sample pool 200 can also be adjusted by other means, such as by an automatically tilting inclined plate, on which the sample pool 200 is mounted, and the tilt angle of the sample pool 200 changes according to the change in the tilt angle of the inclined plate.

[0053] In one embodiment, the angle between the inclined surface 410 and the mounting plane 110 is 10±5 degrees. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the angle is selected to be 5 degrees. However, the present design is not limited to this. Depending on different samples, the angle between the inclined surface 410 and the mounting plane 110 can also be other angles, such as 7 degrees, 10 degrees, 13 degrees, or 15 degrees. In one embodiment, the inclined seat 400 is detachably connected to the mounting plane 110. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inclined seat 400 is detachably connected to the mounting plane 110 by screw locking. In one embodiment, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are arranged from low to high along the inclination direction of the sample pool 200, so that the analytical equipment can be conveniently connected to perform flow monitoring.

Further, the moving component 500 in this embodiment can drive the sample pool 200 along the first direction (see Figure 4 ) moves. Specifically, when the analysis device in this embodiment includes a tilting seat 400, the tilting seat 400 is installed on the moving component 500 by screw locking. That is to say, the moving component 500 drives the tilting seat 400 to move and then drives the sample pool 200 to move. The movement of the sample pool 200 can avoid impurities, liquid bubbles, and the best collection position can be taken according to the image quality to improve the analysis effect.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 The moving component 500 includes a guide rail 510 fixed to the installation plane 110, a slide 520 provided on the guide rail 510, and a driving member 530 for driving the slide 520 to move. The slide 520 is used for installing the sample pool 200. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving member 530 can be a linear driving structure of a cylinder or an electric telescopic cylinder. The slide 520 is driven by the driving member 530 to move along the guide rail 510 in a first direction, thereby driving the sample pool 200 to move.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4The analysis device also includes a laser module 600 and an optical path conduction structure 700 installed on the rack 100. The laser module 600 is used to emit a laser beam. The optical path conduction structure 700 is used to receive the laser beam emitted by the laser module 600 and conduct it to the sample pool 200. Furthermore, the optical path conduction structure 700 is used to control the direction and position of the laser beam emitted by the laser module 600, so as to facilitate the installation of the laser module 600 on the rack 100. In other words, the installation position of the laser module 600 can be made more convenient and reasonable.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 , the laser module 600 is arranged above the sample pool 200; the optical path transmission structure 700 includes a reflector 710, a first lens 720, and a second lens 730, the reflector 710 is used to reflect the laser beam emitted by the laser module 600, so that the laser beam passes through the first lens 720 and the second lens 730 in sequence and reaches the sample pool 200, wherein the reflector 710 can be a prism or a plane mirror, wherein the reflection angle of the reflector 710 can be set according to actual needs; the first lens 720 is used to improve the quality of the light beam, thereby improving the accuracy of the analysis equipment; the second lens 730 is used to compress the laser beam, so that the laser beam forms a light sheet, so that high-quality laser light is provided to the sample pool 200.

[0058] In one embodiment, the optical path conduction structure 700 further includes an adjustment frame 740, and the reflector 710 is mounted on the adjustment frame 740. The adjustment frame 740 is used to adjust the angle of the reflector 710. Furthermore, according to different reflectors 710 (prisms or plane mirrors), their reflection angles can be adjusted through the adjustment frame 740.

[0059] In one embodiment, the reflector 710 is configured as a plane mirror with a reflection angle of 45 degrees. The reflector 710 is adjusted to 45 degrees by the adjustment frame 740 to control the direction of the laser beam emitted by the laser module 600, ensuring that the laser beam can accurately pass through the first lens 720 and the second lens 730 and then irradiate the liquid in the sample cell 200. The first lens 720 is configured as a convex lens, and the second lens 730 is configured as a concave lens. The convex lens can focus the incident parallel or nearly parallel laser beam to a point, or converge the divergent light from a distance, thereby improving the beam quality. Then, the concave lens can convert the light converged by the convex lens into parallel light, so that it forms a light sheet, and finally irradiates the sample cell 200. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the reflector 710 is configured as a prism.

[0060] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2The analysis device also includes a microscope objective module 800. The image acquisition module 300 collects image information of the sample in the sample pool 200 through the microscope objective module 800. Under the action of the microscope objective module 800, the particle size information collected by the image acquisition module 300 can be made more detailed, thereby further improving the image quality.

[0061] In one embodiment, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the sample pool 200 are respectively connected to a liquid inlet pipe 210 and a liquid outlet pipe 220, so as to facilitate the injection of liquid into the sample pool 200 and the discharge of liquid from the sample pool 200.
