Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser particle size analyzer technology, specifically a sample dispersion device. Background Technology
[0002] A laser particle size analyzer, also known as a laser particle size distribution analyzer, is an instrument used to measure and analyze the abundance of physical particles. Based on the dispersion system, it is classified into wet testing instruments, dry testing instruments, and combined wet and dry testing instruments. Its principle is that during light propagation, the wavefront is confined by pores or particles of a scale equivalent to the wavelength. The emission from each elementary wave at the confined wavefront interferes in space, producing diffraction and scattering. The spatial distribution of diffracted and scattered light energy is related to the wavelength of the light wave and the size of the pores or particles. Using a laser as the light source, and with the light being monochromatic with a fixed wavelength, the spatial distribution of diffracted and scattered light energy is only related to the particle size. For the diffraction of a particle group, the quantity of each particle size determines the amount of light energy obtained at each specific angle. The proportion of light energy at each specific angle in the total light energy should reflect the abundance of each particle size. Following this approach, a mathematical and physical model characterizing the abundance of particle size classes and the light energy obtained at each specific angle can be established. This allows for the development of instruments to measure light energy, and the comparison between the light energy measured at a specific angle and the total light energy can deduce the abundance proportion of the corresponding particle size class in the particle group. Laser particle size analyzers rely on the sample feeder to distribute the sample on the optical path. To ensure the dispersion of the sample, a large initial velocity is generally used for the sample feed. Although this can ensure the maximum distribution range of the sample at the far end, the uneven velocity distribution and fluid instability result in significant turbulence at the outlet end, which takes a long time to reach a steady state. Moreover, the distribution uniformity is poor in the initial stage. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to add a dispersion device to the output end of the laser particle size analyzer sampler to help stabilize the flow state.
[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A sample dispersion device includes a tube body, a guide plate, an output end, a pressure cap, an O-ring, a connecting pipe, a tube opening, a cavity, ribs, a core column, a ball head, a straight tube section, and a tube hole. The connecting pipe is located at the rear of the tube body, and the tube opening is located at the front of the tube body. The tube body has a cavity, and a guide plate is fixedly connected to the cavity. The guide plate includes a core column located at its center, the core column coinciding with the axis of the cavity. Several ribs are located outside the core column. A first external thread is located outside the tube opening, and an arc-shaped wall is located inside the tube opening. The rear of the output end is a ball head, and the front of the output end is a straight tube section. The ball head is embedded in the arc-shaped wall inside the tube opening. The pressure cap is threaded onto the first external thread outside the tube opening and is pressed onto the ball head. An O-ring is placed between the ball head and the pressure cap. The straight tube section extends through the tube hole in the center of the pressure cap.
[0006] Preferably, a second external thread is provided on the outer wall of the tube body, the connecting tube at the rear of the tube body is inserted into the output port of the injector, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the output port of the injector. The second external thread on the outer wall of the tube body is threadedly connected to the internal thread on the inner wall of the output port of the injector and a rubber ring is provided.
[0007] Preferably, an annular platform is provided on the outer wall of the tube body, and a washer is abutted against the rear end of the annular platform. The lock nut is threaded onto the second external thread and pressed onto the washer. The lock nut and washer are supported between the front end of the injector's output port and the rear end of the annular platform.
[0008] Preferably, the cross-section of the core column is located at the center of the cross-section of the cavity, and the cross-section of the rib extends along the radial direction of the cross-section of the cavity.
[0009] Preferably, the included angle between any two adjacent ribs is equal.
[0010] Preferably, a plurality of flow guide grooves are provided on the inner wall of the straight pipe section, and the flow guide grooves are parallel to the axis of the straight pipe section.
[0011] Preferably, the number of ribs is 6 to 8.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the tube body is used to construct the flow path, the rear connecting tube is used to connect to the output port of the injector, the tube opening is used to connect to the pressure cap and the ball head, and the tube cavity is used to house the guide plate. The guide plate is mainly supported by the core column in its middle, and the ribs located outside the core column play a stabilizing role, so that the local flow direction of the fluid extends along the axis of the tube cavity as much as possible. The ball head at the rear of the output end is used to be embedded in the arc wall inside the tube opening and is pressed and fixed by the pressure cap connected to the outside of the tube opening with threads. An O-ring seal is used between the pressure cap and the ball head. This detachable output end makes it convenient to clean or replace it periodically; the straight tube section is used to eject the sample.
[0013] This invention can be connected to the output end of the injector via a threaded connection. In this case, a washer and a lock nut can be added between the output end of the injector and the annular platform on the outside of the tube body to provide support, limit the insertion depth of this invention into the output end of the injector, and facilitate installation and fixation.
[0014] This invention provides a sample dispersion device. The device comprises a cylindrical cavity with a guide plate, where a core column on the guide plate serves as a support, and radially extending ribs are provided. When the sample fluid is introduced into the cavity, it is constrained by the uniformly distributed ribs, limiting local turbulence and allowing the output fluid to disperse radially outward in a more stable flow pattern. This ensures uniform dispersion and shortens the time required to reach steady state after sample introduction. Furthermore, this invention is easy to install and disassemble, facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance. Attached Figure Description
