[0030] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-4 The present application provides a technical solution: a foreign matter alarm device for an automatic sampler of a gas chromatograph, comprising a supporting unit 100, a limiting unit 200 and a connecting unit 300. The supporting unit 100 comprises a base 110, a supporting rod 120 installed at the center position above the base 110, and a supporting plate 130 fixedly connected with the supporting rod 120. The limiting unit 200 and the connecting unit 300 can be supported by the base 110, so that each unit mechanism can be stably installed and normally used without other special purposes, which will not be described here.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the limiting unit 200 comprises a plug-in slot 210 opened at the edge of the upper surface of the supporting plate 130, a plug-in plate 220 inserted into the plug-in slot 210, the surface area of the plug-in slot 210 being greater than that of the plug-in plate 220, and a fixed plate 230 parallel to the upper surface of the supporting plate 130. The plug-in slots 210 are uniformly arranged and installed at the top of the supporting plate 130, and the plug-in slots 210 and the plug-in plates 220 are in one-to-one position correspondence. Two fixed plates 230 are fixedly installed on the side surface of the sampling mechanism 240, and the bottom of each fixed plate 230 is vertically installed with a plug-in plate 220.

[0033] The plug-in slot 210 at the edge of the top of the supporting plate 130 facilitates the prevention of the sampling mechanism 240, and the plug-in plate 220 can be more conveniently inserted into the plug-in slot 210. When the sampling device is completely placed on the base 110, the fixed plate 230 is in contact with the top of the supporting plate 130 and is supported. Through the connection of the plurality of plug-in slots 210 and plug-in plates 220, the sampling device can be more stably installed and is not prone to looseness and falling off.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 Further preferably, the fixed plate 230 fixedly connected with the top of the plug-in plate 220 and the sampling mechanism 240 connected with the fixed plate 230 are symmetrical in installation.

[0035] Through the two connecting units 300 on the sampling mechanism 240, the connection between the sampling mechanism 240 and the base 110 can be more closely and sufficiently, effectively preventing the sampling mechanism 240 from loosening and falling off.

[0036] See Figure 3 、 Figure 4 In a further preferred embodiment, the connecting unit 300 includes a movable groove 241 opened at the bottom of the sample injection mechanism 240, and a guide hole 2411 passing through the side of the sample injection mechanism 240 is opened inside the movable groove 241, and the inner wall of the guide hole 2411 is symmetrically opened with guide grooves 24111, and a guide block 320 is slidably installed inside the guide groove 24111. Two guide blocks 320 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the button 310, and the two guide blocks 320 are always in the guide groove 24111. The guide blocks 320 are fixedly connected to the button 310 inside the guide hole 2411.

[0037] The button 310 can move in two directions through the movable groove 241, and the guide block 320 can slide in two directions through the guide groove 24111. When the button 310 receives a force, the guide block 320 moves at the same time, and the setting of the guide block 320 and the guide groove 24111 can prevent the button 310 from rotating and prevent the return spring 330 from being damaged.

[0038] A return spring 330 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 241 is fixedly mounted on one end of the button 310 away from the guide block 320 , and the button 310 and the return spring 330 are mounted in parallel.

[0039] The return spring 330 can absorb and release the force applied to the button 310 , change the force as needed, and prevent the button 310 from shifting in position and angle during use.

[0040] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a further preferred embodiment, a portion of the button 310 is located in the movable groove 241 , and another portion of the button 310 is located outside the movable groove 241 .

[0041] The button 310 is always in the guide hole 2411, and since the guide groove 24111 does not extend toward the outer wall of the injection mechanism 240, its guide block 320 cannot fall out of the guide groove 24111, and the guide block 320 cannot fall out when moving toward the return spring 330. This further prevents the button 310 from falling out of the guide hole 2411 and can only move within a certain range, thereby improving its fault tolerance and preventing it from falling and affecting its use.

[0042] A vertical plate 340 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the button 310 in the movable groove 241. When the bottom of the injection mechanism 240 is completely on the base 110, the vertical plate 340 is inside the connecting groove 360 ​​and the plug-in plate 220 is inside the plug-in groove 210.

[0043] When the injection mechanism 240 is raised or lowered, the vertical plate 340, the positioning block 350, the plug-in plate 220 and the fixed plate 230 move simultaneously, that is, they are raised or lowered simultaneously. When the injection mechanism 240 is disassembled and assembled normally, the plug-in plate 220 is inserted into the plug-in slot 210 and the vertical plate 340 enters the connecting slot 360 simultaneously, ensuring the accuracy during disassembly and assembly, and preventing the limit unit 200 from being installed but the connecting unit 300 is not in the state to be installed, or the limit unit 200 is installed but the connecting unit 300 is not in the state to be installed.

[0044] See Figure 3 、 Figure 4 In a further preferred embodiment, a positioning block 350 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 340 away from the button 310, and a connecting groove 360 ​​is vertically arranged at the top edge of the base 110. The inner wall of the connecting groove 360 ​​is provided with a positioning hole 361 in the same direction as the positioning block 350. The side area of ​​the positioning hole 361 is larger than the side area of ​​the positioning block 350. When the return spring 330 releases its elastic potential energy, the positioning block 350 is inside the positioning hole 361, and the lower surface area of ​​the vertical plate 340 and the positioning block 350 is smaller than the lower surface area of ​​the connecting groove 360.

[0045] The positioning block 350 moves up and down with the vertical plate 340. The positioning block 350 and the vertical plate 340 can be operated straight up and down. When the two structures are completely inserted into the connecting groove 360, the return spring 330 releases its elastic potential energy and extends to push the button 310 and the vertical plate 340 outward. At this time, the vertical plate 340 pushes the positioning block 350 into the positioning hole 361 to play a positioning and connecting role.
