[0028] EMBODIMENT

[0029] As Figure 1 andFigure 3 The utility model provides a secondary light path module device for vertical X ray diffractometer, including base 1, optical module 2 is installed to one side of base 1, nickel filter 21, anti-scatter diaphragm 22 and solr slit 23 are installed in sequence in optical module 2, solr slit 23 is set to one side of anti-scatter diaphragm 22 close to base 1, and the multiple functions of X ray energy filtration, stray light shielding and beam collimation are realized through hierarchical optical element combination. Nickel filter 21, anti-scatter diaphragm 22 and solr slit 23 are all prior art, and here do not make too much elaboration. The side of nickel filter 21, anti-scatter diaphragm 22 and solr slit 23 is all provided with a notch, and the side of optical module 2 is provided with spring jacks 24 at the corresponding position of the notch, nickel filter 21, anti-scatter diaphragm 22 and solr slit 23 are positioned through the setting of solr slit 23, and the stability of light path is improved through the spring buffer mechanism to prevent the element from falling off in the vibration environment.

[0030] Further, the above module device further includes a detector 3 disposed on one side of the base 1, the detector 3 is disposed perpendicularly to the optical module 2, forming an orthogonal light path detection structure to adapt to the multi-angle diffraction signal acquisition requirement.

[0031] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The module device further comprises an adjusting mechanism 4 installed on the side surface of the base 1. Two mutually perpendicular side surfaces of the base 1 are respectively provided with a plurality of groups of mounting holes 11. The mounting holes 11 are located in correspondence with the adjusting mechanism 4 and are re-fixed by being disassembled and rotated by 90°. The horizontal or vertical detection direction of the detector 3 is switched to realize the rapid tool-free conversion of one-dimensional line detection and two-dimensional surface detection functions and significantly improve the detection mode switching efficiency. The detector 3 is slidingly connected to the adjusting mechanism 4. The adjusting mechanism 4 is used for micron-level precision adjustment of the position of the detector 3. The adjusting mechanism 4 comprises a connecting block 41 installed on the side surface of the base 1 through the mounting holes 11. The connecting block 41 is provided with a dovetail groove 42. One end of the detector 3 close to the base 1 is slidingly connected to the dovetail groove 42. The precise guide structure of the dovetail groove 42 ensures the smooth and non-shaking sliding of the optical module 2 in the dovetail groove 42. One end of the dovetail groove 42 is fixedly connected with a fixed plate 43. The position of the fixed plate 43 is fixed to provide a stable adjustment reference. The fixed plate 43 is rotatably connected with a threaded rod 44. The threaded rod 44 remains in place and rotates. The threaded rod 44 is threadedly connected with the detector 3. When the threaded rod 44 rotates, the detector 3 moves along the length direction of the threaded rod 44. The high-precision threaded pair is used to realize the accurate transmission of displacement, thereby realizing the sub-millimeter-level fine adjustment of the position of the detector 3. The height of the detector 3 is accurately controlled through the cooperation of the threaded rod 44 and the dovetail groove 42. The gap error commonly seen in traditional screw adjustment is effectively eliminated to ensure the repeatability precision of the detection position.

[0032] In the embodiment, the nickel filter 21, the anti-scattering diaphragm 22 and the Soller slit 23 are sequentially embedded in the corresponding clamping grooves of the optical module 2. The side surface cutouts of the three are aligned with the spring jacks 24 on the side surface of the optical module 2. Through the elastic compression force of the spring jacks 24 and the cutout clamping, a “positioning-buffering” double mechanism is formed. The optical elements are accurately positioned. The interference of equipment vibration on the light path is offset through elastic buffering to improve the structural stability of the optical module 2.

[0033] After the X-ray is incident to the optical module 2, it sequentially passes through the nickel filter 21 to filter stray energy, the anti-scattering diaphragm 22 to shield non-axial scattered light and the Soller slit 23 to collimate the light beam, thereby forming a pure X-ray beam with good monochromaticity and small divergence angle to provide a high-quality light source for subsequent detection. The hierarchical optical element combination realizes multiple preprocessing of energy filtering, stray light shielding and light beam collimation to significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the diffraction signal. The detector 3 is vertically installed on one side of the base 1 so that its detection plane is perpendicular to the exit light path of the optical module 2 to form an orthogonal detection structure.

[0034] The connecting block 41 is fixed to the base 1 through the mounting holes 11 on the side surface of the base 1. The bottom end of the detector 3 is embedded in the dovetail groove 42 of the connecting block 41. The precise guide structure of the dovetail groove 42 limits the lateral shaking of the detector 3 to ensure its smooth axial sliding along the light path direction to provide a stable reference for subsequent fine adjustment.

[0035] Rotating the threaded rod 44 drives the probe 3 to move along the axis of the threaded rod 44 through the threaded pair between the threaded rod 44 and the probe 3. The dovetail groove 42 limits the radial displacement, and the threaded rod 44 provides the axial driving force. The combination of the two eliminates the "idling error" caused by the thread gap in the traditional screw adjustment, and ensures that the repeatability accuracy of the position of the probe 3 is ≤±50μm.

[0036] Loosening the fixing screws of the mounting holes 11, the connecting block 41 is disassembled from the side of the base 1 together with the probe 3, and after rotating 90°, it is re-fixed through another set of vertical mounting holes 11. The tool-free operation realizes the switching of the detection direction of the probe 3 from horizontal (one-dimensional line detection) to vertical (two-dimensional surface detection), and the time consumption of single switching is <5 minutes, which is more than 80% more efficient than the traditional hardware replacement method. The modular design realizes "one machine with two modes", which is compatible with the high precision of line detection and the high throughput characteristics of surface detection, and meets the diversified detection needs of polycrystalline powder diffraction and thin film structure analysis.

[0037] The above specific embodiments are only an optional embodiment of the present application. Based on the technical scheme of the present application and the related inspiration of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations on the above specific embodiments.
