Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ion mobility spectrum detection, in particular to a Faraday plate of an ion mobility spectrum receiving device with air holes. 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] In the ion mobility spectrometer migration tube, there is also drift gas flowing through the Faraday disk to provide a clean gas atmosphere, remove impurity gases and deionized sample molecules entering the ion mobility spectrometer migration area. Usually, the drift gas flows from the outside of the Faraday disk. When the Faraday disk is sealed with the insulating ring in front of the disk, the flow channel of the drift gas needs to be redesigned.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a Faraday plate of an ion mobility spectrometer receiving device with air holes that effectively improves the reliability of signal transmission and the drift gas flow channel. Utility Model Content
[0008] In response to the technical problems raised above, a Faraday disk of an ion mobility spectrometer receiving device with air holes is provided, which has the advantages of high signal transmission reliability, guaranteed airtightness, and unobstructed floating gas flow channels.
