However, this design has some defects in practical application.

Second, the replacement process of chromatographic columns is cumbersome, and the whole column needs to be replaced, which not only wastes time but also increases operating costs. In addition, the contamination progress of each section of the chromatographic column is different, and the local contamination requires the replacement of the whole chromatographic column.

[0015] The utility model will be further explained in connection with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the utility model and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0016] Example 1
[0017] Figure 1 It is a structure schematic view of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a structure schematic view of the chromatographic column system.
[0018] As Figure 1 shown, a kind of gas chromatograph, comprising: shell 100, carrier gas system 200, sample introduction system 300, detector 400, chromatographic column system 500, detection processing control system 600 and operation display system 700, carrier gas system 200, sample introduction system 300 and detector 400 are respectively arranged at the top of shell 100, chromatographic column system 500 is located in shell 100, detection processing control system 600 is arranged at the side end of shell 100, operation display system 700 is arranged on the surface of shell 100, carrier gas system 200 is connected with sample introduction system 300, chromatographic column system 500 is connected with detector 400, detection processing control system 600 is connected with carrier gas system 200, sample introduction system 300 and detector 400, operation display system 700 is connected with detection processing control system 600.
[0019] As Figure 2 shown, wherein, chromatographic column system 500 includes: first chromatographic column 510, second chromatographic column 520 and two-way joint 530, the length of second chromatographic column 520 is 1M, first chromatographic column 510 is connected with detector 400, first chromatographic column 510 is connected with second chromatographic column 520 by two-way joint 530.
[0020] Two-way joint 530 is equipped with plastic metal sealing washer.
[0021] The steps of using the gas chromatograph are as follows:
[0022] Before starting the device, check the gas source of the carrier gas system 200 to ensure that the gas purity meets the requirements. Start the detection process control system 600, set the carrier gas flow, column temperature and detector parameters through the operation display system 700, and set the analysis program, including the temperature rising program and the detection time.
[0023] Inject the sample using the sample injection system 300, and ensure that the sample amount and concentration meet the experimental requirements. Start the analysis program, and the carrier gas system 200 drives the sample through the chromatographic column system 500 for separation. The separated sample enters the detector 400 for detection, and the detection process control system 600 collects and processes data in real time.
[0024] View the real-time analysis results by operating the display system 700, and the detection process control system 600 provides detailed analysis reports and stores or exports the results.
[0025] Basically, the utility model does not produce any change in use, except that the chromatographic column system 500 is the original traditional structure. And no change is what we need.
[0026] In this embodiment, we reform the 15-meter chromatographic column. The purpose of the utility model is to change the traditional integrated 15-meter chromatographic column into a 14M first chromatographic column 510 and a 1M second chromatographic column 520. As mentioned in the background art, the chromatographic column is very easy to be contaminated. Once contaminated, in order to ensure the accuracy of detection, it needs to be replaced. And the chromatographic column is integrated, so it needs to be replaced together. But in fact, most of the parts are not contaminated and do not need to be replaced.
[0027] So we have several appeals in our research and development: 1. Only the part that is easy to be contaminated is modularized, so that the replacement efficiency is improved and the cost is reduced. 2. Find out what this part is. 3. It will not affect the use of other accessories. 4. The subsequent problems after modularization. 5. Will the final detection result change.
[0028] The first point is the scheme itself. We decided to change the integrated 15-meter chromatographic column into two parts, one part that is easy to be contaminated and one part that is not easy to be contaminated, and they are independent of each other, while being connected in some way.
[0029] The second point is why it is 1 meter and 14 meters. First of all, the ultimate purpose of cutting is to facilitate replacement. It is more economical. On the basis of the above, based on the RT retention time, it is considered that the cutting method does not affect the retention time of all compounds. The most contaminated position. After considering, we choose to cut at 1 meter, separate the traditional integrated type.
[0030] Third, it will not affect the use of other accessories. In this way, there is no additional new parts, so it will not affect the use of other accessories.
[0031] Fourth, the negative impact of the improvement. Since the cutting, we have a variety of considerations on the choice of connecting pieces. The embodiment adopts Agilent Ultimate two-way connector tool, which has a metal sealing washer itself, which can effectively play the role of connection and sealing.
[0032] On the other hand, the possible risks include: loss of connection points: each connection point can introduce additional eddy current and dead volume, affecting the separation efficiency. Leakage risk: multiple joints can increase the risk of system leakage. Complexity: increase the complexity of the system, which may require more frequent maintenance. Among them, the first two problems need to be verified by data experiments. And the last complexity problem, on the contrary, if the second chromatographic column 520 does not appear chromatographic column loss or pollution also need to be replaced frequently, and because of this design, it improves its durability and anti-pollution ability, but reduces the disassembly of the detection port, reduces the number of disassembly.
[0033] Fifth, the extension of the fourth point, will such a design affect the data due to the instability of the improvement? As shown below, we use a chromatograph without modification and a modified chromatograph to detect the same sample, and after detection, we find that the results before and after improvement are almost the same, which shows that the modification does not affect the normal use of the chromatograph.
[0034] Original detection:
[0035]
[0036]
[0037] Improved detection:
[0038]
[0039]
[0040] Compared with the traditional technology, the traditional chromatographic column is divided into two independent individuals, which realizes more convenient and flexible replacement; reduces the cost, only needs to replace the 1 meter distance chromatographic column which is easy to be polluted to continue to use.
[0041] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described above, but the utility model is not limited to this, as long as it does not deviate from the purpose of the utility model, the utility model can also have various changes.
