Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber sample analysis technology, and more specifically, to a sample preparation device for XRF analysis of fiber samples. Background Technology
[0002] In the scientific analysis and research of fibrous samples, X-ray fluorescence (XFR) analysis, as a non-destructive elemental analysis method, is widely used due to its high efficiency and accuracy. However, XFR analysis has extremely high requirements for sample preparation, especially factors such as sample homogeneity, density, and thickness, which directly affect the accuracy and reliability of the analytical results.
[0003] Traditional methods for preparing fiber samples often have several shortcomings. For example, manual sample pressing makes it difficult to ensure uniform pressure with each press, potentially leading to uneven stress distribution within the sample and affecting the accuracy of XFR analysis. Furthermore, traditional manual sample preparation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. To address these issues, some fiber sample pressing devices have emerged on the market, but these devices still have limitations in structure and function. For instance, traditional devices cannot accurately control the pressing pressure and thickness of the sample, and samples that are too thick or too thin may affect X-ray penetration and analytical sensitivity. This can easily result in substandard samples, limiting the accuracy and application range of XFR analysis. Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes an XRF analysis sample preparation device for fibrous samples to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0005] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A sample preparation device for XRF analysis of fibrous samples includes a lower support base, a positioning column fixedly connected to the surface of the lower support base, an upper support plate fixedly connected to the top of the positioning column, a displacement sensor fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the upper support plate, an adjustment base provided on the surface of the lower support base, a positioning groove opened on the surface of the adjustment base, a pressure sensor fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the positioning groove, a sample preparation cylinder slidably installed inside the positioning groove, strong magnetic blocks fixedly installed on the bottom edge of the sample preparation cylinder and the inner wall of the positioning groove, a lifting pressure rod slidably installed inside the sample preparation cylinder, a lower pressure plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting pressure rod, the lower pressure plate cooperating with the inner wall of the sample preparation cylinder, an upper pressure plate fixedly connected to the top of the lifting pressure rod, and a transmission groove opened inside the lower support base, with a transmission lifting mechanism provided inside the transmission groove.
[0007] Furthermore, in order to provide power for the fabrication of fibrous samples, the transmission lifting mechanism includes a transmission motor fixedly installed inside the transmission groove, a drive sprocket fixedly connected to the transmission shaft of the transmission motor, a driven shaft rotatably installed on one side inside the transmission groove, a driven sprocket fixedly installed on the surface of the driven shaft, and a transmission chain meshing between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket.
[0008] Furthermore, in order to enable the transmission lifting mechanism to drive the adjusting base to move up and down, threaded transmission rods are fixedly connected to the ends of the transmission shaft and the driven shaft of the transmission motor, and lifting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjusting base, with the lifting plates threadedly connected to the threaded transmission rods.
[0009] Furthermore, in order to allow gas to be released when the lower pressure plate moves inside the sample preparation cylinder, an exhaust hole is provided on the surface of the lower pressure plate.
[0010] Furthermore, in order to control the drive motor and sensors, a control switch is installed on one side of the surface of the adjustment base, and a microcontroller is installed on the other side of the control switch.
[0011] Furthermore, in order to observe the height of the fibers placed inside the sample preparation cylinder, the surface of the sample preparation cylinder is provided with scale lines.
[0012] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the structure inside the transmission groove, an inspection door is rotatably installed on one side of the surface of the lower support base.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the transmission lifting mechanism drives the adjusting base and the sample preparation cylinder to move upward, so that the upper pressure plate moves to contact the upper support plate, and then the lifting pressure rod drives the lower pressure plate to move to the bottom of the sample preparation cylinder, compressing the fiber material inside the sample preparation cylinder to prepare the sample. During the sample preparation process, the pressure sensor detects the pressure value borne by the fiber. When the pressure value reaches the set pressure, the sample preparation cylinder stops moving upward, and the thickness of the fiber sample is detected by the displacement sensor. The device adopts an automated control method, which reduces the time of manual operation, speeds up the sample preparation speed, and ensures the pressure and thickness of each sample preparation by using precise pressure and displacement sensors, thus guaranteeing the quality of the prepared sample and effectively improving the accuracy of the analysis of the fiber sample after preparation.

A displacement sensor 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the upper support plate 3. A cylindrical adjusting base 5 is provided on the surface of the lower support base 1. A positioning groove 6 is opened on the surface of the adjusting base 5. A pressure sensor 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 6. A sample preparation cylinder 8 with open ends is slidably installed inside the positioning groove 6 for holding fiber sample material after contacting the lower support base 1.
[0025] Multiple strong magnetic blocks 9 are fixedly installed on the bottom edge of the sample preparation cylinder 8 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 6. Through the mutual attraction of the strong magnetic blocks 9, the sample preparation cylinder 8 can be stably adsorbed in the positioning groove 6 during fiber sample preparation. A lifting pressure rod 10 is slidably installed inside the sample preparation cylinder 8. The bottom of the lifting pressure rod 10 is fixedly connected to a lower pressure plate 11, which cooperates with the inner wall of the sample preparation cylinder 8 to squeeze the fiber material inside the sample preparation cylinder 8. An upper pressure plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting pressure rod 10 to transmit power after contacting the upper support plate 3. A transmission groove 13 is opened inside the lower support base 1. A transmission lifting mechanism 14 is provided inside the transmission groove 13 to provide power for fiber sample preparation.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the transmission lifting mechanism 14 includes a transmission motor 1401 fixedly installed inside the transmission groove 13. A drive sprocket 1402 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft of the transmission motor 1401. A driven shaft 1403 is rotatably installed on one side inside the transmission groove 13. A driven sprocket 1404 is fixedly installed on the surface of the driven shaft 1403. A transmission chain 1405 meshes between the drive sprocket 1402 and the driven sprocket 1404. The transmission shaft of the transmission motor 1401 and the driven shaft 1402 are connected. The ends of 3 are all fixedly connected with threaded transmission rods 1406. A pair of lifting plates 1407 are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjusting base 5. Each lifting plate 1407 is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded transmission rod 1406. The drive motor 1401 drives the drive sprocket 1402 to rotate, which causes the drive chain 1405 to drive the driven sprocket 1404 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the two threaded transmission rods 1406, which drives the lifting plate 1407 and the adjusting base 5 to move up and down.

[0029] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, in actual use, a detection threshold of a pressure sensor 7 is set by the microcontroller 17, the sample preparation cylinder 8 is placed in the positioning groove 6 on the surface of the adjusting base 5, and the sample preparation cylinder 8 is stably placed by the mutual attraction of the strong magnetic blocks 9. Then, the crushed fiber material to be sampled is placed in the sample preparation cylinder 8, the drive motor 1401 is started, and the drive motor 1401 drives the drive sprocket 1402 to rotate, so that the drive chain 1405 drives the driven sprocket 1404 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the two threaded drive rods 1406, driving the lifting... The lowering plate 1407 and the adjusting base 5 move upward, so that the upper pressure plate 12 moves to contact the upper support plate 3. Then, the lower pressure plate 11 moves to the bottom of the sample preparation cylinder 8 through the lifting pressure rod 10, and the fiber material inside the sample preparation cylinder 8 is squeezed to prepare the sample. During the sample preparation process, the pressure sensor 7 detects the pressure value of the fiber. When the pressure value reaches the set pressure, the microcontroller 17 stops the sample preparation cylinder 8 from moving upward, and the displacement sensor 4 detects the thickness of the fiber sample. Then, through the reverse rotation of the drive motor 1401, the sample preparation cylinder 8 moves the prepared fiber sample inside downward, thereby completing the preparation of the fiber sample.
