Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ion mobility spectrum detection, in particular to a Faraday disk device for receiving ion mobility spectrum signals. Background Art

[0002] Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a technique that analyzes chemical substances by ionizing gas-phase molecules with an ionization source and analyzing the differences in the migration speeds of different gas-phase ions in the same electric field. It has been widely used for rapid on-site screening and detection of explosives, drugs, and toxic agents.

[0003] The ion mobility spectrometer migration tube needs to be airtight and high-temperature resistant, and remain clean and free of chemical emissions. The ion mobility spectrometer Faraday disk is responsible for receiving and transmitting extremely weak signals at the nanoampere level. Usually, the signal lead wires are welded, and welding connections will leave residual chemicals that are difficult to remove. Therefore, an assembly method that uses metal parts to match and insulating parts to isolate is often used. The firmness and reliability of the assembly method will directly affect the airtightness of the ion mobility tube, signal transmission, noise level, etc.

[0004] Li Haiyang and others invented an ion mobility spectrometry ion signal extraction and sealing device (Patent No. ZL201210536367.6). This is a sealed Faraday disk ion current signal extraction device, comprising a Faraday disk, a metal shielding tube, a hollow metal shielding adapter, an insulator, a hollow sealed insulating ferrule, a metal connecting nut, and a signal extraction connector. This device achieves good sealing and reliable microcurrent signal extraction, while preventing the Faraday disk from loosening due to heating, vibration, and other factors, as well as contact with the shielding grid. However, the trapezoidal sealing insulating ferrule softens and deforms during alternating hot and cold use, causing the Faraday disk to loosen and signal fluctuations, as well as reduced sealing and air leakage.

[0005] Li Haiyang et al. invented an ion receiving device for ion mobility spectrometry (patent number ZL201110428494.X). This device is a sealed Faraday disk microcurrent signal extraction device, comprising a Faraday disk, an O-ring, an insulating sealing pressure ring, a sealing nut, a ferrule, a gold-plated spring pin signal shielding lead-out wire, a compression nut, an adapter, a Faraday disk shielding tube, and a Faraday disk insulating gasket, etc., to achieve sealed and reliable microcurrent signal extraction and prevent failure caused by factors such as vibration and heating. However, the Faraday disk, annular Faraday disk insulating gasket, shielding tube, O-ring, and insulating sealing pressure ring are tightened and fastened by a sealing nut. The connection between the above components is circular and slidable. In particular, the Faraday disk is also circular in shape. Therefore, the circular Faraday disk and the sealing nut are difficult to tighten, and are prone to loosening during use, resulting in fluctuations or even loss of the collected signal.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a Faraday disk device for receiving ion mobility spectrometry signals that effectively improves the reliability of signal transmission and the airtightness of the ion mobility tube. Utility Model Content

The metal rod is provided with an external thread that cooperates with the insulating nut. The end of the metal rod away from the metal disk is provided with a groove that cooperates with a signal pin. One end of the hollow insulating column is inserted into the Faraday disk shielding tube, and the other end isolates and insulates the Faraday disk from the Faraday disk shielding tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the metal disk is a regular shape, and its cross-sectional area is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the metal rod.
