Support columns 28 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the stirring tank 6 and are fixedly connected to the base 1. Multiple support columns 28 are provided to ensure stable support of the stirring tank 6. The first conveying assembly includes a first infusion pipe 3 located on the left side of the LC-MS main body 2, with a first... A first transfer pump 4 has a second infusion pipe 5 fixedly installed on its left side. The second infusion pipe 5 is connected to a stirring tank 6 to facilitate the transfer of waste liquid from the main body 2 of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument to the stirring tank 6. A drive assembly is provided on the top of the stirring tank 6. A rotating rod 11 is provided inside the stirring tank 6 through the drive assembly. The rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the stirring tank 6, and there are multiple rotating rods 11. A stirring rod 12 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 11. A support plate 13 is fixedly installed on the left side of the stirring tank 6. A storage tank 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 13. The top of the storage tank 14 is provided with an inlet valve. The mixing tank 6 has a liquid inlet 15 and a second conveying assembly inside. A diversion pipe 19 is located on the right side of the mixing tank 6 via the second conveying assembly, inside the mixing tank 6. A nozzle 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the diversion pipe 19. A transparent plate 21 is fixedly installed on the left side of the storage tank 14. An adjusting assembly is located on the top of the storage tank 14. A liquid level sensor 25 is installed inside the storage tank 14 via the adjusting assembly. An alarm 26 is fixedly installed on the left side of the storage tank 14. A controller 27 is fixedly installed on the front side of the storage tank 14. A drain pipe 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 6. Equipped with a control valve 30, this liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) waste liquid recovery device transports the waste liquid from the LC-MS main body 2 to the mixing tank 6 via a first conveying component, and the cleaning agent from the storage tank 14 to the diversion pipe 19 via a second conveying component. After being diverted by the diversion pipe 19, the waste liquid is dispersed and sprayed into the mixing tank 6 from the nozzle 20. At the same time, the drive component causes the rotating rod 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn causes the stirring rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, thus stirring the waste liquid and cleaning agent in the mixing tank 6. This allows the cleaning agent to mix with the waste liquid more quickly, thereby facilitating faster waste liquid treatment.

[0025] according to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second delivery assembly includes a suction pipe 16 disposed inside the mixing tank 6. A second delivery pump 17 is fixedly installed at the top of the suction pipe 16, and a connecting pipe 18 is fixedly installed at the top of the second delivery pump 17. The connecting pipe 18 is connected to the diversion pipe 19. The second delivery pump 17 delivers the cleaning agent from the storage tank 14 from the suction pipe 16 to the connecting pipe 18, and then into the diversion pipe 19. After being diverted by the diversion pipe 19, it is sprayed into the mixing tank 6 from the nozzle 20, which facilitates the cleaning agent to be more dispersed into the waste liquid. The drive assembly includes... A drive motor 7 is installed at the top of the mixing tank 6. A rotating shaft 8 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 7. A first gear 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 8. A second gear 10 is meshed on the surface of the first gear 9. The second gear 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The drive motor 7 causes the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn causes the first gear 9 to rotate, and the second gear 10 to rotate in the opposite direction at the same time. This causes the rotating rod 11 to rotate in the opposite direction at the same time, and the mixing rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction at the same time, so that the waste liquid and cleaning agent can be mixed more quickly.

[0026] according to Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a mounting plate 22 disposed on the top of the storage tank 14. An electric push rod 23 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting plate 22. A movable rod 24 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 23. The movable rod 24 is slidably connected to the storage tank 14 and is fixedly connected to the liquid level sensor 25. The height of the liquid level sensor 25 can be adjusted by the adjustment assembly, so as to better set the amount of cleaning agent remaining in the storage tank 14 when the alarm is triggered.

[0027] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control.

[0028] In use: Cleaning agent can be added to the storage tank 14 through the inlet 15. The controller 27 activates the electric push rod 23, causing the movable rod 24 to move up and down, which in turn moves the liquid level sensor 25 up and down until it reaches the appropriate height. The controller 27 then activates the first transfer pump 4, transferring waste liquid from the main body 2 of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument to the second transfer pipe 5 via the first transfer pipe 3. The waste liquid then enters the stirring tank 6. The controller 27 then activates the second transfer pump 17, drawing waste liquid from the storage tank 14 through the suction pipe 16. The cleaning agent is delivered to the connecting pipe 18, and then enters the diversion pipe 19. After being diverted by the diversion pipe 19, it is sprayed into the mixing tank 6 from the nozzle 20. At the same time, the controller 27 controls the drive motor 7 to start, causing the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, causing the first gear 9 to rotate, causing the second gear 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the rotating rod 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, and causing the stirring rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, thus stirring the waste liquid and cleaning agent in the mixing tank 6. When the liquid level sensor 25 does not detect the liquid level, the controller 27 controls the alarm 26 to sound an alarm.

[0029] In summary, this liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) waste liquid recovery device, through the first conveying component, transports the waste liquid in the LC-MS main body 2 to the mixing tank 6, and through the second conveying component, transports the cleaning agent in the storage tank 14 to the diversion pipe 19. After being diverted by the diversion pipe 19, the waste liquid is dispersed and sprayed into the mixing tank 6 from the nozzle 20. At the same time, through the driving component, the rotating rod 11 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the stirring rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction as well, thereby stirring the waste liquid and cleaning agent in the mixing tank 6. This facilitates faster mixing of the cleaning agent and the waste liquid, thus enabling faster waste liquid treatment and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
