Therefore, it has the functions of cutting, ablation, coagulation, hemostasis, ablation, coagulation and hemostasis, etc., and has the characteristics of simple structure, small size, light weight, easy processing, etc.

[0005] There is also a Chinese patent (patent application number 03805517.1) disclosed in the "Plasma Mass Spectrometer", which has an ion beam extraction electrode (45) associated with a separator cone (40) to limit the pumping of gas from the area (60) just behind the separator cone injection hole (42) to provide a pressure (e.g. 10 -3 -10 -4 Torr) have higher pressures (e.g., 1-10 -2 Thus, a volume (60) of collision gas for attenuating polyatomic and multiply charged interfering ions is provided to the plasma (28) just prior to extraction of the ion beam (49). In one embodiment, a substance (e.g., hydrogen) may be supplied to the region (60) to assist in attenuating polyatomic and multiply charged interfering ions through reaction or collision interactions.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to design a rapid cooling plasma beam cold cone purge device: comprising a purge cone 1 and a purge bracket 5, further comprising an outer bracket 3, an insulating sheet 4, an insulating sleeve 10 and one or more cooling tubes 2; the purge cone 1 is shaped like a "cymbal", with a hollow boss in the middle of its left side, and a purge hole 8 is opened in the middle of the hollow boss, and its right side is annular; the outer bracket 3 is in the shape of a thickened small hole washer, and a non-complete closed annular groove for embedding the cooling tube 2 is opened on its right end face; the insulating sheet 4 is also in the shape of a thickened washer; the insulating sleeve 10 is cylindrical; the purge bracket 5 is a stepped shaft with an inner step through hole;

[0008] The circular part of the right side surface of the purge cone 1 is attached to the left end surface of the outer bracket 3, the left end surface of the insulating sheet 4 is attached to the right end surface of the outer bracket 3, the left end of the insulating sleeve 10 passes through the center hole of the insulating sheet 4, and its end portion rests against the right end surface of the outer bracket 3; the left end surface of the purge bracket 5 is attached to the right end surface of the insulating sheet 4, and the inner step of its through hole rests against the right end surface of the insulating sleeve 10.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The utility model is further explained below in combination with the drawings and examples. The following explanation is in the form of example, but the protection scope of the utility model should not be limited to this.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] The rapid cooling plasma beam cold cone blowing device of the example is a special case of the hollow boss being a conical table, which is composed of a blowing cone 1, a blowing support 5, an outer support 3, an insulating sheet 4, an insulating sleeve 10 and a group (one group is adopted in this example, and two or more groups can also be adopted, and a relatively wide flat pipe can also be adopted) of cooling pipes 2.

[0034] The shape of the blowing cone 1 is similar to "cymbals", and the middle of the left side is raised as a conical table-shaped hollow boss (see the attached Figure 5 drawing), and a blowing hole 8 (which can be a round hole or a square hole or a triangular hole or other existing holes, but a square hole is preferred) is arranged in the middle of the conical table, and the included angle a of the conical surface of the conical table and the central axis is 112.6 ° (the range of the included angle a is 100-120 ° , the optimized range is 110-115 ° , and the best included angle is 112.6 ° ); the edge of the blowing cone 1 is circular, and two or more (three are adopted in this example) sunken head holes for passing through the blowing cone and the outer support fixing bolt 7 made of PEEK polyether ether ketone material are uniformly arranged on the edge.

[0035] The outer bracket 3 is a thickened small hole washer (i.e., a circular washer), and its left end surface is evenly distributed with two or more (three in this example) countersunk holes for inserting the outer bracket and the purge bracket fixing bolts 9 made of PEEK polyetheretherketone material; its right end surface is provided with a non-complete closed annular groove for embedding the cooling pipe 2 (i.e., the annular groove is similar to the letter "Ω", with both ends not connected, but both protrude to the outer cylindrical surface, as shown in the attached figure). Figure 4 (As shown), the annular groove has a rectangular cross-section. A cooling pipe 2, also rectangular in cross-section and made of copper, is embedded within the groove, with the outer wall of the cooling pipe 2 closely contacting the inner wall of the groove. The right side of the annular purge cone 1 abuts against the left edge of the outer bracket 3, and the purge cone and outer bracket are secured by bolts 7.

[0036] The insulating sheet 4 made of PEEK polyetheretherketone material is in the shape of a thickened washer (ie, a circular washer), and its edge is evenly distributed with through holes for passing the fixing bolts 9 of the outer bracket and the purge bracket.

[0037] The insulating sleeve 10 is a cylindrical body (ie, a round through hole is opened in the middle), and is also made of PEEK polyetheretherketone material.

[0038] The purge bracket 5 is in the shape of a stepped shaft, with an inner step through hole opened along the central axis, and a protruding annular mounting flange 6 provided in the middle of its outer cylindrical surface (a plurality of through holes for installing fixing bolts are evenly distributed on the edge of the annular mounting flange 6).

[0039] The right side (i.e., the annular portion) of the purge cone 1 is attached to the left end face of the outer bracket 3. The left end face of the insulating sheet 4 is attached to the middle outer edge of the right end face of the outer bracket 3. The left end of the insulating sleeve 10 passes through the center hole of the insulating sheet 4, and its end abuts the middle portion of the right end face of the outer bracket 3. The left end face of the purge bracket 5 is attached to the right end face of the insulating sheet 4, and the inner step of its through hole abuts the right end face of the insulating sleeve 10. The outer bracket and purge bracket fixing bolts 9 connect the outer bracket 3, insulating sheet 4, and purge bracket 5 into one. The purge cone and outer bracket fixing bolts 7 connect the purge cone 1 and outer bracket 3 into one.

[0040] Before use, the exposed end of the cooling pipe 2 is connected to the external cooling water pump, and the annular mounting flange 6 is fixed to the working position.

[0041] In use, first, the cooling water pump is started to make the cooling water flow through the cooling pipe 2 at all times; then, the inductive coupling device (not shown in the drawing) is started, and the inductive coupling device generates an ultra-high temperature plasma beam which is directed to the purge cone 1, at which most of the useless plasma beam is shunted to the outside of the room along the left side surface of the conical platform of the purge cone 1 (i.e. does not enter the purge hole 8) and carries away a large amount of heat; the remaining useful plasma beam enters the purge hole 8 on the outer support and, when passing through the middle circular hole of the outer support 3, will transfer (also including radiation) the heat carried by the plasma beam to the inner wall of the middle circular hole of the outer support 3, thereby heating the outer support 3; at this time, since the cooling pipe 2 is nested in the inner part of the outer support 3 and the outer wall of the cooling pipe 2 is in full contact with the inner wall of the annular groove of the outer support 3, the contact area is increased as much as possible, so that the cooling water flowing through the cooling pipe 2 at all times will absorb and carry away the heat through the pipe wall of the cooling pipe 2 and the inner wall of the annular groove of the outer support 3, thereby reducing the temperature of the outer support 3 and ensuring that the temperature of the purge support 5 is kept below 80 DEG C, facilitating subsequent analysis operations.
