A worm 104 is installed at the output end of the worm gear reducer motor 103. A fixing plate 105 is installed on the top of the base plate 101. A sliding rod 106 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 105. A bidirectional screw 107 is rotatably connected through the middle of one side of the fixing plate 105. A worm gear 108 is installed at one end of the bidirectional screw 107. A sliding block 109 is threaded onto the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 107. A first U-shaped block 1010 is installed on the top of the sliding block 109. A support rod 1011 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first U-shaped block 1010. A second U-shaped block 1012 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 1011 near the top. A support plate 1013 is installed on the top of the second U-shaped block 1012. A moving component 2 is installed on the outer wall of the height adjustment component 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the movable component 2 includes an L-shaped rod 201 installed on the outer wall of the support plate 1013. An installation block 202 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped rod 201. A universal wheel 203 with brake is installed at the bottom of the installation block 202. There are four movable components 2 in total, and the four movable components 2 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the support plate 1013.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first U-shaped block 1010, the support rod 1011, and the second U-shaped block 1012 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the sliding 109.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixed plate 105, the sliding plate 109, the first U-shaped block 1010, the support rod 1011, and the second U-shaped block 1012 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the base plate 101.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the worm gear 108 meshes with the worm 104 for transmission, and the bidirectional screw 107 forms a rotating structure with the worm gear reducer motor 103 through the worm gear 108 and the worm 104.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the slide rods 106 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the base plate 101, and two symmetrically distributed sliding holes are opened on one side of the slide 109, and the slide rods 106 are slidably installed in the sliding holes on the slide 109.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a mass spectrometer includes a mass spectrometer body 3 and a mechanism for adjusting the height of the mass spectrometer. A U-shaped frame 4 is attached to the outer wall of the mass spectrometer body 3 near the bottom. A clamping plate 5 is installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 4 by screws. The mechanism for adjusting the height of the mass spectrometer is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 4 and the clamping plate 5.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mechanism for adjusting the height of the mass spectrometer and the mass spectrometer operate as follows during use:

[0028] First, when the height of the mass spectrometer needs to be adjusted, the worm gear reducer motor 103 is started. The worm 104 drives the worm wheel 108 and the bidirectional screw 107 to rotate. When the bidirectional screw 107 rotates, the two sliding blocks 109 move closer or further apart, thus adjusting the distance between them. As the two sliding blocks 109 move, the corresponding first U-shaped block 1010, support rod 1011, and second U-shaped block 1012 on each sliding block 109 drive the support plate 1013 to move up or down. When the support plate 1013 moves up or down, it drives the U-shaped frame 4, the mass spectrometer body 3, the clamping plate 5, and the moving assembly 2 to move up or down, thereby allowing the mass spectrometer body to be adjusted as needed. When the mass spectrometer is at a height of 3, the worm gear reducer motor 103 is stopped. When the mass spectrometer needs to be moved, the worm gear reducer motor 103 is started to drive the U-shaped frame 4, the mass spectrometer body 3, the clamping plate 5, and the moving assembly 2 to move downward. Then, the universal casters 203 with brakes on the moving assembly 2 contact the ground. Then, the base plate 101 and the support block 102 are driven to move upward. The support block 102 separates from the ground. Then, the worm gear reducer motor 103 is stopped. Then, the equipment is pushed and moved by the four universal casters 203 with brakes. When the mass spectrometer body 3 needs to be maintained, the screws that install the clamping plate 5 and the U-shaped frame 4 are removed. Then, the clamping plate 5 is separated from the U-shaped frame 4. Then, the mass spectrometer body 3 is removed.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
