Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy detection, and relates to a dual-optical-path system for a spectrometer. Background Technology

[0002] In modern market applications, as customer demands increase, traditional optical path systems are finding it increasingly difficult to meet the market's requirements for high efficiency and high performance due to limitations in receiving angle and energy in certain situations. Furthermore, with the increasing demands for efficiency, especially for high-efficiency and high-precision detection of array samples, there is still no suitable equipment available. Therefore, it is necessary to find new high-efficiency and high-performance application solutions. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art. The present invention provides a high-efficiency dual-optical-path system for an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, which can effectively solve the related problems. It includes: an optical path base plate, a first optical path module fixedly mounted on the optical path base plate, a second optical path module, a third optical path module, up to an nth optical path module mounted on a sliding component on the optical path base plate and matched with the fixed optical path module, an integrated optical shutter collimating filter switching module mounted under the first optical path module and the second, third, up to nth optical path modules, and an adjustment module for adjusting the movement of the second optical path module, the third optical path module, up to the nth optical path module, and the first optical path module;

[0004] The first optical path module includes a single-channel X-ray source assembly for providing an X-ray source to excite a sample, a dual-channel detector assembly for receiving feedback signals, and an optical path cavity for positioning and mounting the X-ray source assembly and the multiple detector assemblies. The optical path cavity has a vertical interface for mounting the X-ray source assembly and an inclined interface surrounding the vertical interface for mounting the multiple detector assemblies. The vertical interface and the inclined interface are connected to the internal optical path chamber of the optical path cavity. The sample is mounted below the vertical interface, and the inclined interface is axially pointed towards the sample.

[0005] The second, third, and up to the nth optical path modules include a single-path X-ray source assembly for providing an X-ray source to excite a sample, a dual-path detector assembly for receiving feedback signals, and an optical path cavity for positioning and mounting the X-ray source assembly and multiple detector assemblies.

The vertical interface and the inclined interface are connected to the internal optical path chamber of the optical path cavity. The sample is mounted below the vertical interface, and the inclined interface is axially pointed towards the sample.

[0006] The movable adjustment module corresponds one-to-one with the second optical path module, the third optical path module, and so on up to the nth optical path module. The movable adjustment module is connected to the second optical path module, the third optical path module, and so on up to the nth optical path module through a connecting component, and drives the second optical path module, the third optical path module, and so on up to the nth optical path module to move back and forth to adjust the distance between the first optical path module or the second optical path module, the third optical path module, and so on up to the nth optical path module.

[0007] As described in the background section of this utility model, traditional optical path systems suffer from insufficient receiving angle and energy in certain situations, making it increasingly difficult to meet market demands for high efficiency and high performance.
