[0043] The sample tray device in this embodiment is detachably mounted on the frame 1 via tray assemblies. During use, tray assemblies suitable for liquids or solids can be replaced according to the analytical requirements of the ion chromatograph. Different types of tray assemblies are easy to interchange, have strong applicability, high experimental efficiency, and low experimental cost.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the tray assembly includes a tray 21 with at least two positioning pin holes 211. The frame 1 has at least two positioning pins 7. The positioning pin holes 211 are detachably fitted onto the tops of the positioning pins 7 to position the tray 21 and place it on the frame 1. Connecting the tray 21 to the frame 1 is achieved by fitting the positioning pin holes 211 onto the positioning pins 7, facilitating the loading and unloading of the tray assembly, simplifying the structure, and improving testing efficiency.
[0045] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning pin 7 is a cone-shaped structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom, which facilitates the installation of the positioning pin hole 211 and the positioning pin 7.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the tray assembly includes a sample bottle tray assembly 2 or a crucible tray assembly 3. Both the sample bottle tray assembly 2 and the crucible tray assembly 3 include a tray 21.

When the ion chromatograph needs to analyze liquid samples, the positioning pin holes 211 of the sample vial tray assembly 2 are fitted one-to-one with the top of the positioning pin 7, so that the tray 21 of the sample vial tray assembly 2 is positioned and placed on the frame 1, allowing the sample tray device of this embodiment to be used to load sample vials 91 for liquid sample analysis. When the ion chromatograph needs to analyze solid samples, the sample vial tray assembly 2 is removed, and the positioning pin holes 211 of the crucible tray assembly 3 are fitted one-to-one with the top of the positioning pin 7, so that the tray 21 of the crucible tray assembly 3 is positioned and placed on the frame 1, allowing the sample tray device of this embodiment to be used to load crucibles 92 for solid sample analysis. By using the same tray 21 for the sample vial tray assembly 2 and the crucible tray assembly 3, the sample vial tray assembly 2 and the crucible tray assembly 3 are easily interchangeable, making them more versatile.

[0053] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment, the two sides of the tray 21 are provided with handles 212. By arranging the handles 212, the tray 21 is convenient to take, place and replace, and the structure is simple and easy to use.
[0054] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the embodiment, the upper side of the tray 21 of the sample bottle tray assembly 2 is provided with a guard plate 23, and the guard plate 23 is provided with sample bottle positioning holes 231 corresponding to the sample bottle placing parts 22. Through the double-layer design of the tray 21 and the guard plate 23, the bottom of the sample bottle 91 is placed on the sample bottle placing part 22, and the middle part of the sample bottle 91 is limited by the sample bottle positioning holes 231, which can prevent the sample bottle 91 from being overturned, and can also limit the sample bottle 91 in an accurate position, which is convenient for positioning during subsequent automatic sample feeding and taking.
[0055] In the sample bottle tray assembly 2, a holding space 233 is formed between the guard plate 23 and the tray 21 for hands to enter, and holding portions 232 are arranged on both sides of the guard plate 23 (the two sides of the guard plate 23 are not provided with sample bottle positioning holes 231, and the plate bodies on the two sides of the guard plate 23 form the holding portions 232), and the hands are inserted into the holding space 233 and hold the holding portions 232, so that the sample bottle tray assembly 2 can be taken out and replaced without the handle 212, and the structure is simple and compact.
[0056] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In the embodiment, the sample bottle placing portion 22 is provided in multiple groups, and the sizes of the sample bottle placing portions 22 in each group are different to adapt to sample bottles 91 of different sizes. By providing sample bottle placing portions 22 of different sizes, the tray 21 of the sample bottle tray assembly 2 can simultaneously accommodate sample bottles 91 of different sizes, and the adaptability is high.
[0057] Preferably, in the embodiment, the positioning pins 7, the horizontal adjusting columns 5, and the fixing screws 6 are respectively provided with four, and are distributed around the horizontal adjusting plate 4, and the structure is more stable.
