[0042] The top cover 401 is internally provided with an activated carbon bag 406, which can adsorb the tail gas of the cold trap aging, so as to avoid pollution of the laboratory environment;
[0043] The heating block 101 of the heating module 100 is made of aluminum alloy, and eight smooth cold trap channels 102, two heating rods 103 and a temperature sensor 104 are arranged in the heating block. The diameter of the cold trap channel 102 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cold trap, which can ensure the smooth passing of the cold trap and quickly conduct heat and uniformly heat the cold trap.

[0044] The pressing plate 201 of the gas path module 200 is provided with a guide groove 211 for accurately guiding the quartz cold trap to align with the sealing position.

[0047] The control circuit board 303 can read the real-time data of the temperature sensor 104 and adjust the on / off time of the heating rod 103 according to the PID algorithm to stabilize the temperature at the set value.

[0048] The aging method of the quartz cold trap aging device is as follows:
[0049] After the aging operation is performed by inserting the cold trap, the servo motor 207 tightens the press plate 201, the proportional valve 301 is opened, and the electromagnetic valves 304 are opened one by one to determine whether the cold trap is inserted in each channel according to the data of the gas pressure sensor 305 and the atmospheric pressure; the electromagnetic valve 304 of the channel with the inserted cold trap is opened, the proportional valve 301 is adjusted, the data of the mass flow meter 302 is set to the flow rate, the programmed temperature rising is performed according to the set temperature gradient; after the aging is completed, the fan 403 starts to operate to accelerate the cooling, the proportional valve 301 is adjusted, and the data of the mass flow meter 302 is set to 5-10 ml / min to save the carrier gas.
