Background Technology

[0002] Mass spectrometers, as high-precision analytical instruments, are widely used in laboratories. They typically utilize desktop computers with accompanying control and analysis software to perform sample analysis and data storage. After analysis, operators often need to transfer the data to other computers via mobile terminals or local area networks for further processing, a cumbersome and inefficient process.

[0003] When a mass spectrometer is installed on a mobile platform, such as a vehicle or ship, and is used in the field, the space is limited. The conventional desktop computer takes up a lot of space and is inconvenient to move. The monitor and mouse make the already small space even more crowded, making it very inconvenient to use.

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a mobile control system for a mass spectrometer, including a mobile control panel and a folding component. Through this system, operators can perform routine operations on the instrument, such as a mass spectrometer, acquire data results and generate experimental reports, and conduct further data processing when necessary.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile control system for a mass spectrometer, which can perform routine operations such as ignition, sample injection, and detection through its own touch interface, and present experimental results and reports; after testing, there is no need to transfer data, and it can be used as a virtual hard drive to directly remove the control panel for subsequent work.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A mobile control system for a mass spectrometer includes a mobile control panel and folding components.

[0008] The mobile control console, selected from tablet computers or touchscreen all-in-one machines, is used to operate the mass spectrometer, process detection data, and output reports. It can be operated directly via its built-in touchscreen, eliminating the need for a separate mouse and keyboard.

[0009] The folding component includes a multi-functional tray, hinges, and a metal block.

[0010] The multi-functional tray has a guide groove on its front, in which a mobile control panel is placed. The guide groove preferably opens on the far right side of the multi-functional tray, facilitating the insertion of the mobile control panel from the right. The angle of the mobile control panel can be adjusted via a folding mechanism for easy viewing and operation.

[0011] The multi-functional tray has a screw hole in the center of its back, through which a magnet is installed. The magnets are symmetrically located on the upper and lower sides of the multi-functional tray to fix the movable control panel by magnetic force. Mounting holes are also provided on both sides of the back of the multi-functional tray, through which the multi-functional tray is connected and fixed to the hinge.

[0012] The multi-functional tray is equipped with a USB interface and a charging interface on its side or bottom, so that the USB cable and power cable are located on the side or back of the multi-functional tray. The mobile control panel moves into place via the guide groove and connects to the interface for charging and communication with the mass spectrometer.

[0013] The hinge includes an adjusting rod, a fixing plate, and a support rod.

[0014] The fixing plate has a U-shaped structure with a U-shaped groove and pin holes on the upper and lower sides.

[0015] The adjusting rod has a U-shaped structure and can be fitted into the U-shaped groove of the fixing plate when the folding component is closed. The front of the adjusting rod has a mounting hole for mounting the multi-functional tray, and the side has a sliding groove with a limit hole at the end. The upper side of the adjusting rod has a pin hole, and one end of the adjusting rod is flexibly connected to the fixing plate via a pin, allowing it to rotate around the pin.

[0016] The support rod (13) has a rectangular frame structure. When the folding component is closed, the support rod can be embedded in the U-shaped groove of the adjusting rod and the U-shaped groove of the fixing plate. There are pin holes on the upper and lower ends of the support rod. One end can slide in the sliding groove of the adjusting rod through the pin and is positioned when it slides to the limiting hole. The other end is flexibly connected to the fixing plate through the pin and can rotate around the pin.

[0017] The hinges are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the multifunctional tray, connecting the multifunctional tray and the mass spectrometer, and are used to achieve angle adjustment and support stability.

[0018] The iron block is mounted on the hinge through a screw hole and is located at the end of the fixed plate, so that the folding part can be attracted by a magnet when closed.

[0019] This invention further relates to a mass spectrometer with a mobile control system of this invention.

[0020] This invention relates to a mobile control system for a mass spectrometer. The system allows direct operation of the mass spectrometer via its own touch interface, enabling the acquisition of experimental data and results, thus increasing work efficiency. It also facilitates further data processing and transmission (email, cloud uploads, etc.) without the need for portable storage media, avoiding potential adverse effects during data transfer. The mobile control system eliminates the need for a monitor and mouse, reducing the use of wiring (power cords, data cables), resulting in a cleaner and more organized work surface. It also further reduces the required work surface area, making it suitable for use in space-constrained environments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art will recognize that various variations or modifications can be made based on the above description, as well as obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a mobile control system for a mass spectrometer includes a mobile control console 2 and a folding component 3. The mobile control console 2 is a Huawei tablet computer; the folding component 3 includes a multi-functional tray 4, a hinge 5, and an iron block 6.

[0032] The multi-functional tray 4 has a guide groove 7 on the front and a screw hole in the middle of the back. Magnets 8 are installed in the screw hole and are symmetrically located on the upper and lower sides of the multi-functional tray 4. Mounting holes 17 are located on both sides of the back of the multi-functional tray 4, which are fixed to hinges 5. The hinges 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the multi-functional tray 4. A USB port 9 and a charging port 10 are located on the left side of the tray.

[0033] The guide groove 7 has an opening on the far right of the multi-functional tray 4. When the mobile control panel 2 is placed into the guide groove 7, the upper and lower surfaces of the guide groove 7 constrain the mobile control panel 2 to move within the groove until the mobile control panel 2 is pushed to the left side of the multi-functional tray 4. At this time, the USB interface 9 and the charging interface 10 are connected to their corresponding interfaces on the mobile control panel 2 to realize communication and charging functions. The mobile control panel 2 is fixed by the magnetic force of the magnet 8.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the hinge 5 includes an adjusting rod 11, a fixing plate 12, and a support rod 13. The fixing plate 12 has a U-shaped structure with a U-shaped groove 18 and pin holes on its upper and lower sides. The adjusting rod 11 has a U-shaped structure and can be fitted into the U-shaped groove 18 of the fixing plate 12. The adjusting rod 11 has a sliding groove 15 on its side, with a limit hole 16 at the end of the sliding groove 15 and a mounting hole on its front for mounting the multi-functional tray 4. The upper side of the adjusting rod 11 has a pin hole, and a pin 14 is used to achieve a flexible connection between the adjusting rod 11 and the fixing plate 12 at the upper pin hole, allowing the adjusting rod 11 to rotate around the pin 14. The length of the sliding groove 15 of the adjusting rod 11 meets the opening and closing angle requirements of the folding component.

[0035] The support rod 13 has a rectangular frame structure. When the folding component is closed, the support rod 13 can be embedded in the U-shaped groove 19 of the adjusting rod 11 and the U-shaped groove 18 of the fixing plate 12. The upper and lower ends of the support rod 13 have pin holes. At the lower pin hole, the support rod 13 is flexibly connected to the fixing plate 12 at the lower pin hole of the fixing plate 12 via a pin 14. The support rod 13 can rotate around the pin 14. The other end can slide in the sliding groove 15 of the adjusting rod 11 via the pin 14, and is positioned by sliding to the limiting hole 16.

[0036] During use with the mass spectrometer, when the pin 14 at the upper end of the support rod 13 slides in the slide groove 15, the angle between the movable control panel 2 and the mass spectrometer 1 changes. When the pin 14 at the upper end of the support rod 13 slides along the slide groove 15 to the uppermost position, the hinge is in the closing process, and the angle between the movable control panel 2 and the mass spectrometer 1 decreases until it reaches... Figure 2 In the state shown, the iron block at the lower end of the fixed plate 12 is attracted by the magnet 8 on the back of the multi-functional tray to complete the closing action; when the pin 14 slides along the slide groove 15 to the lowest end until it falls into the limiting hole 16, the hinge is in the opening process, and the angle between the movable control panel 2 and the mass spectrometer 1 becomes the largest, until it reaches the maximum. Figure 1 In the indicated state, because the pin 14 at the upper end of the support rod 13 falls into the limiting hole 16, the movable direction of the pin 14 is restricted, keeping the support rod 13 stationary and ensuring that the mobile control panel 2 is in a stable state. The iron block 6 is connected to the hinge 5 through a screw hole. The iron block 6 is located at the lower part of the hinge 5. When the hinge 5 is closed, the magnet 8 on the back of the multi-functional tray 4 attracts the iron block 6, preventing the hinge 5 from opening easily.
