The second convex pillar will slide in the second slide groove. Then, another second convex pillar will move along the inclined section of the third slide groove and the fourth slide groove, thereby forcing the first side plate to drive the support feet to move upward and off the ground. At this time, the support feet and universal wheels are switched.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, including a main housing 1. Electrical components are installed inside the main housing 1. An ion source 3 for conversion is also connected to the main housing 1. Side notches are provided on both sides of the main housing 1, and side baffles 4 are provided in the side notches. A rear notch is provided on the rear side of the main housing 1, and a rear baffle 5 is provided in the rear notch. A top cover 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the side baffles 4 and the top of the rear baffle 5. The top cover 6 is used to close the top of the main housing 1. A positioning component 7 is connected to the top cover 6 to position the top cover 6 on the main housing 1. After the rear baffle 5, side baffles 4 and top cover 6 are installed, the main housing 1 can be closed, and the positioning component 7 can position the top cover 6.

[0023] A pair of limiting grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer and near the top cover plate 6. The limiting grooves 8 can be used in conjunction with the positioning component 7 to improve the fixation effect.

[0024] The positioning component 7 includes limiting plates 701, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the top cover plate 6. Each limiting plate 701 has a limiting groove 8, and one end of each limiting plate 701 is open. A sliding plate 702 is slidably engaged within the limiting groove 8. The sliding plate 702 has a threaded hole. A bidirectional lead screw 703 is rotatably mounted within both limiting plates 701, with one end of the bidirectional lead screw 703 screwed into the threaded hole. A rotating sleeve 704 is fitted onto the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 703 at its middle position. The sliding plate 702 is provided with anti-slip texture. An L-shaped drive plate 705 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 702. One end of the L-shaped drive plate 705 is located on one side of the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer. A positioning plate 706 is fixedly installed on one end of the L-shaped drive plate 705. Positioning posts 707 are provided on both ends of the positioning plate 706, and the positioning posts 707 are located in the limiting groove 8. The limiting groove 8 on the limiting plate 701 can limit the sliding plate 702. Therefore, when the bidirectional lead screw 703 rotates, the bidirectional lead screw 703 can make the sliding plate 702 slide in the limiting groove 8.

[0025] The main body 1 of the mass spectrometer is fixedly connected to four corners of the bottom of the main body 1 of the mass spectrometer, and is supported by support legs 9.

[0026] In use, the portable gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer of this invention is operated as follows: First, the various compounds in a mixed sample are separated using a gas chromatographic column. The sample enters the column under the influence of a carrier gas. Due to the different partition coefficients of different compounds between the stationary and mobile phases, they move at different speeds within the column, achieving separation. Then, the separated compounds sequentially enter the mass spectrometer. In the mass spectrometer, the compounds are ionized, forming ions with various mass-to-charge ratios. These ions are separated and detected by a mass analyzer. Mass spectra are obtained based on their mass-to-charge ratios and relative abundances. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the compounds is performed by comparing them with a standard spectral library or other methods. When installing the top cover 6, side baffles 4, and rear baffle 5, since they are integrated, the user can easily install them. Baffle 4 and rear baffle 5 are respectively inserted into the side notches and rear notches on both sides of the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer. After insertion, the top cover 6 can be located on the top of the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer. Then, the user can rotate the bidirectional lead screw 703 in place by rotating the sleeve 704, thereby driving the sliding plate 702 to move within the limiting plate 701. In turn, the sliding plate 702 can drive the L-shaped drive plate 705 and the positioning plate 706 to move until the positioning plate 706 is clamped on both sides of the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer. At the same time, when the positioning plate 706 is clamped on both sides, the positioning post 707 also needs to be inserted into the limiting grooves 8 on both sides of the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer. When the main housing 1 of the mass spectrometer is under maintenance, the fixing of the top cover 6 can be easily released by the positioning component 7. After that, the user can remove the top cover 6, side baffle 4 and rear baffle 5, making the internal maintenance of the mass spectrometer convenient and highly practical.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
