[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a mixing mechanism for a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument, comprising: a mixing chamber 1, a top plate 2, a stirring motor 3, and a sealing seat 4. The mixing chamber 1 is generally cylindrical, with an inverted frustum-shaped feed box 11 at the bottom, and a discharge port 12 at the bottom of the feed box 11. The mixing chamber 1 is open at the top, and the top plate 2 is installed at the open, with a feeding port 21 on the top plate 2. The stirring motor 3 is installed on the top plate 2, and a stirring rod 31 is provided at the output end of the stirring motor 3. The stirring rod 31 extends through the top plate 2 into the mixing chamber 1, and an auxiliary rod 32 is provided on the side of the stirring rod 31. The sealing seat 4 is located inside the feed box 11.
[0017] The material is added into the mixing chamber 1 through the feeding port 21 on the top plate 2. The stirring motor 3 on the top plate 2 drives the stirring rod 31 to rotate, thereby driving the auxiliary rod 32 to stir in the mixing chamber 1, so that the added material is fully mixed.
[0018] The stirring motor 3 is located in the middle of the top plate 2, and the central axis of the stirring rod 31 coincides with the central axis of the mixing box 1.
[0019] The stirring rod 31, located in the center, can evenly stir the surrounding environment through the auxiliary rod 32 on the side, avoiding dead corners and ensuring a uniform mixing effect.
[0020] The auxiliary rod 32 is arranged horizontally, and several torsion bars 33 are arranged side by side between the auxiliary rods 32; the two ends of the torsion bars 33 are respectively connected to the auxiliary rods 32 through a rotating shaft, and auxiliary blades 34 are arranged on the side of the torsion bars 33; the auxiliary rods 32 are arranged in a ring array around the stirring rod 31 in multiple groups.
[0021] The horizontal auxiliary rod 32 is connected to a rotatable torsion bar 33. When it rotates, the auxiliary blades 34 on the torsion bar 33 collide with the material. The rotation of the blades can further enhance the mixing effect of the material and improve the mixing efficiency.
[0022] The discharge port 12 is provided with a support platform 13, and the side of the support platform 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the discharge port 12 by a bracket 14; a sleeve 15 is provided on the upper part of the support platform 13; a telescopic rod 43 is provided on the lower part of the sealing seat 4, and the telescopic rod 43 is connected to the sleeve 15 and connected to the electric push rod in the sleeve 15.
[0023] The telescopic rod 43 is moved up and down by an electric push rod, thereby changing the height of the sealing seat 4 and adjusting its position to open or close the discharge port 12.
[0024] The sealing seat 4 has a guide surface 41 on the upper part and a sealing surface 42 on the lower part; the guide surface 41 is a conical curved surface, the sealing surface 42 is a rounded frustum, and the sealing surface 42 is in contact with the inner wall of the feed box 11.
[0025] The upper conical guide surface 41 allows the material to slide down along it when it is opened, from the edge of the guide surface 41, and finally out of the outlet 12; the lower frustum-shaped sealing surface 42 fits against the inner wall of the guide box 11 when it is sealed, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
