[0002] In the field of chromatographic analysis, microcolumns are widely used in various fields such as drug analysis, environmental monitoring, and food safety due to their high separation efficiency, low sample consumption, and rapid response. However, the high efficiency of microcolumns often depends on precise and stable injection techniques to ensure that samples can enter the column uniformly and without loss for separation and analysis.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN219201481U discloses an injection device for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, which aims to improve the stability and accuracy of injection. However, while this device can meet the needs of routine injection to a certain extent, its performance is still limited under high-pressure injection conditions. This patent may not have been optimized for high-pressure injection environments, leading to decreased injection stability under high pressure and thus affecting the accuracy of analytical results. Therefore, we propose a micro-chromatographic column high-pressure injection component. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 A high-pressure injection assembly for a microchromatographic column includes a housing 1, an input tube 2 movably connected to one output end of the housing 1, a connecting tube 3 movably connected to one end of the inner wall of the housing 1, and an output end of one side of the connecting tube 3 movably connected to the output end of one side of the input tube 2. An embedded tube 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the connecting tube 3, and a plurality of spiral grooves 5 are provided on one end of the inner wall of the embedded tube 4.

[0022] Furthermore, a gear 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the connecting pipe 3, and the top output end of the gear 6 passes through the top of the housing 1. A power supply module 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the housing 1. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the power supply module 7 away from the housing 1, and the bottom of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 near the side of the power supply module 7.

[0023] Furthermore, a second gear 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 8, and the second gear 9 is meshed with the gear 6. The second gear 9 meshes with the gear 6 connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3, thereby driving the connecting pipe 3 and the inner tube 4 to rotate together.

[0024] Furthermore, a pressurizing pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the inner wall of the housing 1 near the connecting pipe 3, and the output end of the pressurizing pipe 10 is movably connected to the output end of the connecting pipe 3 away from the input pipe 2. A support frame 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pressurizing pipe 10 near the connecting pipe 3, and a turbofan 12 is movably connected to the output end of the support frame 11 away from the connecting pipe 3, and the output direction of the turbofan 12 is away from the input pipe 2.

[0025] Furthermore, a fan-shaped pressurizing cavity 13 is provided on the inner wall of the pressurizing tube 10 near the turbofan 12, and the output direction of the fan-shaped pressurizing cavity 13 is consistent with that of the turbofan 12. The fan-shaped pressurizing cavity 13 cooperates with the turbofan 12 to further enhance the pressure in this direction, so that the sample is pressurized in the pressurizing tube 10.

[0026] Furthermore, a fixing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the pressurizing pipe 10 away from the connecting pipe 3, and several fixing brackets 15 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the housing 1 near the pressurizing pipe 10. The output end of the fixing bracket 15 is snapped into the outer wall of the fixing ring 14. An output head 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the end of the pressurizing pipe 10 away from the connecting pipe 3, and the output end of the output head 16 extends through the output end of the housing 1 away from the input pipe 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a number of mounting bases 17 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the housing 1, which facilitates the installation of the device in the required position.

[0028] Working principle: First, one side of the component's housing 1 is connected to an external sample source via the input tube 2, ready to receive the sample. The connecting tube 3 connects the input tube 2 to the pressurization tube 10. Simultaneously, the embedded tube 4 and its internal spiral groove 5 provide a preliminary guiding and pre-processing channel for the sample. The power supply module 7 provides power to the motor 8. After the motor 8 starts, its output drives the second gear 9 to rotate. The second gear 9 meshes with the gear 6 connected to the outer wall of the connecting tube 3, thereby driving the connecting tube 3 (including the embedded tube 4) to rotate together. This rotation helps the sample to accelerate its flow within the spiral groove 5. While the sample is fed into the pressurization tube 10, the turbine fan 12 rotates on the support frame 11, generating airflow or pressure in the direction away from the input tube 2. The fan-shaped pressurization chamber 13 cooperates with the turbine fan 12 to further enhance the pressure in this direction, so that the sample is pressurized in the pressurization tube 10. The pressurized sample is output under high pressure through the output head 16, ready to enter the microchromatographic column for subsequent analysis. The fixing ring 14 is engaged with the fixing bracket 15 on the inner wall of the housing 1 to ensure the stability and safety of the pressurization tube 10 under high pressure. The entire housing 1 can be easily installed in the required position through the mounting base 17.
