Description

A miniaturized portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and in particular to a miniaturized portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is widely used in environmental protection, electronics, textiles, petrochemicals, fragrances and flavors, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food safety. It is used for the analysis of organic pollutants in the environment (air, water, and soil pollution analysis); analysis of pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, and pharmaceutical residues; analysis of aroma components in fragrances and flavors; and detection of hazardous substances in the textile industry.

[0003] In existing technologies, when using miniaturized portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instruments on the market, the testing personnel need to carry the instrument by the handle and take the detection probe to perform the testing. However, because the miniaturized portable GC-MS instruments are still relatively heavy and do not have corresponding hanging or wearing structures, they are prone to fatigue during long-term testing. Furthermore, when conducting water quality testing, the equipment is placed directly on the ground by the shore, making it difficult to guarantee the protective effect of the equipment and the safety of its use.

[0004] To address this issue, a miniaturized portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument is proposed, which has the advantages of being easy to carry and being easy to protect, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a miniaturized portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a miniaturized portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument, comprising a main body and an external protective case. The protective case is installed on the outside of the main body, and a radiator is provided on the bottom inside the protective case. The radiator is in contact with the bottom surface of the main body, and several cooling fans are installed inside the radiator. Support bars are fixed on the left and right sides of the top surface of the radiator, and baffles are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the top surface of the radiator. A detection probe is connected to the main body via a flexible hose. Two shoulder straps are snapped on the outer surface of the protective case, and a ventilation mesh is embedded in the left side wall of the protective case. A side opening is provided on the right side wall of the protective case, and a movable cover is hinged to the side of the protective case with the side opening.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the protective case has a pick-up and put-out opening on the side away from the shoulder strap, and two guide rails are fixed on the outer surface of the protective case corresponding to the pick-up and put-out opening. A sealing plate is installed between the two guide rails of the protective case. The side of the sealing plate is provided with a guide strip that slides and connects with the guide rail. The sealing plate is in contact with the side of the protective case with the pick-up and put-out opening. A limit block is welded to the bottom of the guide rail corresponding to the sealing plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: a suspension column is welded to the inner wall of the protective box, and the flexible tube of the detection probe is connected to it.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: a rubber strip is adhered to the side of the support strip facing the main body of the equipment, and the cross-section of the rubber strip is a right-angled triangle structure, and the inclined surface of the rubber strip is in contact with the main body of the equipment.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: an observation window is embedded in the surface of the sealing plate, and the observation window is made of tempered glass; a protrusion is welded to the upper surface of the sealing plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a lithium battery pack is provided on the top of the main body of the device, and a power strip is provided on the surface of the casing of the lithium battery pack.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the main body of the equipment is a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument, and the model of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument is: Hecheng LIT360 portable GC-MS.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In this invention, the main body of the device is placed on a heat sink inside a protective case, and is limited by a pair of support bars and baffles on the heat sink, maintaining the stability of the main body within the protective case. During the carrying and use of the main body, the protective case itself serves as a protective structure that isolates the main body from the outside world, preventing the main body from directly contacting the ground or being completely exposed to the external environment. The two shoulder straps symmetrically installed on the protective case are easy for the testing personnel to wear, avoiding fatigue caused by carrying the heavy main body for a long time. The side openings and movable covers on the protective case facilitate the storage and extension of the testing probe. At the same time, when the main body is powered on, several cooling fans installed on the heat sink provide air cooling for the main body. Combined with the ventilation net on the left side wall of the protective case, ventilation and heat dissipation of the main body are taken into account while providing protection.
