[0021] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without making creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0022] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The utility model provides a kind of technical scheme: an online sample purification device, including four-way valve 1 and feed pipe 2, feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected at the valve port of the left end of four-way valve 1, and the outer end of four-way valve 1 is connected with purification mechanism.
[0023] Purification mechanism includes connecting pipe 301 fixedly connected at the other three valve ports of the outer end of four-way valve 1, another end of connecting pipe 301 is fixedly connected with purification cylinder 302, and the right end of purification cylinder 302 is fixedly connected with feed pipe 303, and the left end of feed pipe 2 is connected with six-way valve in ion chromatograph, and the right end of feed pipe 303 is connected with chromatographic column in ion chromatograph. When six-way valve transports sample to be detected to chromatographic column, it will first enter four-way valve 1 through feed pipe 2, then enter connecting pipe 301 in communication, then enter chromatographic column through purification cylinder 302 and feed pipe 303. The four-way valve (1) is connected with controller signal, and the controller is PLC, and the signal cooperation of controller and four-way valve (1) makes sample to be detected enter corresponding purification cylinder 302.
[0024] Purification cylinder 302 is filled with filler, and the filler is resin for adsorbing ions in sample that need not be detected. When sample to be detected passes through purification cylinder 302, it will react with resin therein, and adsorb ions in sample that need not be detected.
[0025] The outer end of the purification cylinder 302 is connected with a dismounting mechanism, which comprises two fixed rings 401 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the purification cylinder 302, and two filter screens 404 arranged on the two fixed rings. The pore size of the filter screens 404 is 0.45 microns, which can filter particulate matter and prevent resin loss. The outer end of the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 is provided with a connecting ring 402. The outer side of the end of the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 close to the purification cylinder 302 is provided with external threads, and the inner side of the connecting ring 402 is provided with internal threads. The outer side of the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 is connected with the inner side of the connecting ring 402 through the threads. The outer side of the fixed ring 401 is slidingly connected with the inner side of the connecting ring 402, and the side of the fixed ring 401 away from the purification cylinder 302 is slidingly connected with the side of the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 close to the purification cylinder 302. Therefore, after the purification cylinder 302 is placed between the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303, the connecting ring 402 is rotated and moved at the same time, and one end of the connecting ring 402 is moved to the outer side of the fixed ring 401. Then, the fixed rings 401 at the left and right ends of the purification cylinder 302 are limited to the inner side of the connecting ring 402, so that the purification cylinder 302 can be fixed between the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303. After the purification cylinder 302 is fixed between the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303, the filter screens 404 are pressed against the fixed rings 401.
[0026] The side of the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 close to the purification cylinder 302 is fixedly connected with rubber pads. Therefore, after the purification cylinder 302 is installed between the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303, the rubber pads at the outer end of the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 will contact the end of the fixed ring 401 away from the purification cylinder 302, so that the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303 can be sealed at the contact position with the fixed ring 401, preventing the sample from leaking from the contact position of the fixed ring 401 with the connecting pipe 301 and the feed pipe 303.
[0027] Working principle: When the six-way valve in the ion chromatograph delivers the sample to be detected to the chromatographic column, the sample first enters the four-way valve 1 through the feed pipe 2, then enters the connecting pipe 301, and then enters the purification cylinder 302, reacts with the resin therein, adsorbs the ions in the sample that do not need to be detected, and then enters the chromatographic column through the feed pipe 303 for detection, solving the problem that the small particles in the sample will block the pipeline and the internal parts of the fittings when the ion chromatograph analyzes the components to be detected, causing the system to leak and the parts to be damaged. Also, the organic matter and heavy metal substances in the sample can be prevented from being adsorbed on the chromatographic column and the ion exchange membrane, affecting the service life of consumables.
