Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas chromatography analysis equipment technology, and in particular to a gas chromatography inlet anti-contamination diversion device. Background Technology
[0002] Gas chromatography (GC) is an important separation and analysis method widely used in chemical, food, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical fields for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical components in complex mixtures. The GC inlet split device is a key component of the GC instrument. Its main function is to split the vaporized sample according to a certain ratio during the injection process. One part enters the chromatographic column for separation and analysis, while the other part is discharged from the system. This ensures that the amount of sample entering the chromatographic column is suitable for its separation capacity, avoids column overload, and thus obtains accurate and reliable analytical results.
[0003] Existing gas chromatography injection port split devices typically consist of an injection port, a splitter, a carrier gas system, and connecting pipes. In operation, the sample is injected into the injection port through the injector and instantly vaporizes within the port. The carrier gas carries the vaporized sample into the splitter. In the splitter, according to the set split ratio, part of the sample enters the chromatographic column with the carrier gas, while the other part exits from the split outlet. However, in actual use, the injection port is highly susceptible to contamination by impurities. This is because the sample itself may contain various impurities, such as solid particles and high-boiling-point substances. When the sample vaporizes upon injection into the injection port, solid particles can... It may remain directly inside the injection port, clogging the injection channel; high-boiling-point substances may condense in the low-temperature region of the injection port after vaporization, gradually accumulating to form dirt. In addition, if the carrier gas is not strictly purified, trace impurities carried in it will also deposit at the injection port. After the injection port is contaminated, it will lead to uneven sample vaporization and inaccurate split ratio, which will seriously affect the accuracy and repeatability of the analysis results. At the same time, in order to solve the contamination problem, the injection port needs to be cleaned and maintained frequently, which not only increases the workload of operators, but also introduces new errors due to the disassembly and installation process, reducing the efficiency of the instrument.

The bottom thread of the adsorption column 201 is located at the top center of the housing 1, fixing the adsorption column 201 to the housing 1 via a threaded connection, ensuring the stability of the adsorption column 201 during operation. A heating wire 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adsorption column 201 for heating the adsorption column 201, allowing the sample inside the adsorption column 201 to be adsorbed at a suitable temperature, improving adsorption efficiency. A sealing shell 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adsorption column 201 to enclose the heating wire 202 and the adsorption column 201, preventing heat loss and protecting internal components from external environmental influences.

The filtered sample enters the adsorption column 201, and the heater 204 supplies power to the heating wire 202. The heating wire 202 generates heat, which is transferred to the adsorption column 201 for further processing of the sample. The adsorption column 201 is connected to the top center of the shell 1 via threads, and the sealing shell 203 encloses the adsorption column 201, providing protection and auxiliary heating. The flow equalization ring 4 is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the shell 1 to ensure uniform distribution of the processed sample. The connecting pipe 5 connects the flow equalization ring 4 to the threaded connector 6, which is used to connect the chromatograph. The split assembly 8 is located on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 5 to split the sample. The carrier gas assembly 9 is located on the outer wall of the flow equalization ring 4 to provide carrier gas. The quick-connect component 10 is located at the bottom of the inlet connector 7, which facilitates quick connection of related components.
[0038] Reference Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 7 The waste gas treatment mechanism 3 includes a treatment box 301, which serves as the main space for waste gas treatment, accommodating various components required for the treatment process and providing a location for waste gas treatment.

A placement rack 302 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the treatment box 301 for placing the materials required for waste gas treatment. Multiple ventilation holes 303 are provided on the top of the placement rack 302, allowing the treated waste gas to pass through the placement rack 302 for further discharge or subsequent treatment. A limit ring 304 is fixedly connected to the top of the treatment box 301 to restrict the position of the materials placed thereon, preventing them from moving freely within the treatment box 301 and ensuring the stability of the waste gas treatment process. Heating lamps 305 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the processing box 301 for heating the material inside the processing box 301. A sealing cover 306 is rotatably connected to the top of the processing box 301 to seal the top of the processing box 301 and prevent exhaust gas leakage. At the same time, when it is necessary to operate inside the processing box 301, the sealing cover 306 can be opened by rotating it. A fixing component 307 is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the sealing cover 306 to firmly fix the sealing cover 306 to the processing box 301 to ensure the sealing effect. The fixing component 307 includes two latches 3071, which are used to cooperate with hooks 3072 to fix the sealing cover 306. The outer left side of the two latches 3071 is fixedly connected to the outer right side of the sealing cover 306. The outer right side of the treatment box 301 is fixedly connected to the hook 3072. The two hooks 3072 are respectively engaged with the corresponding latches 3071. This engagement method can ensure that the sealing cover 306 and the treatment box 301 are tightly connected, preventing exhaust gas from leaking from the connection between the two.
[0039] Specifically, the rack 302 in the middle of the inner wall of the treatment box 301 is used to hold activated carbon, providing a foundation for waste gas purification. Multiple ventilation holes 303 on the top of the rack 302 allow the gas purified by the activated carbon to pass through and enter the bottom of the treatment box 301 for discharge. The limiting ring 304 on the top of the treatment box 301 limits the activated carbon placed on it, preventing it from moving freely within the treatment box 301 and ensuring its effective purification of waste gas. Heating lamps 305 fixed to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the treatment box 301 are activated during waste gas treatment to heat the activated carbon in the middle of the limiting ring 304. Appropriate heating can enhance the activity of the activated carbon, strengthen its adsorption capacity for harmful substances in the waste gas, and improve the purification effect. The sealing cover 306, rotatably connected to the top of the treatment box 301, can be opened when necessary to operate inside the treatment box 301, such as to replace the activated carbon, and closed after the operation is completed, ensuring the airtightness of the internal space of the treatment box 301 and allowing waste gas treatment to be carried out in a relatively closed environment. The fixing component 307, located on the right side of the outer wall of the sealing cover 306, consists of two latches 3071 and two hooks 3072. The two latches 3071 are fixed to the left side of the outer wall of the sealing cover 306, and the hooks 3072 are fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the treatment box 301. The latches 3071 and the hooks 3072 engage to firmly fix the sealing cover 306 to the top of the treatment box 301, preventing exhaust gas leakage. At the same time, it facilitates the opening and closing of the sealing cover 306, making it convenient for maintenance and operation inside the treatment box 301.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The flow splitting assembly 8 includes a flow splitting tube 801, which is used to draw out the sample in the connecting tube 5 and perform a flow splitting operation. The left end of the flow splitting tube 801 is connected to the right side of the outer wall of the connecting tube 5, and the left side of the outer wall of the connecting tube 5 is connected to a control valve 802, which is used to control the flow rate and direction of the sample in the connecting tube 5, thereby realizing the adjustment of the flow splitting ratio. A one-way valve 803 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the split tube 801 to ensure that the sample after splitting can only flow in one direction, prevent sample backflow, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the splitting process; the carrier gas assembly 9 includes an inlet pipe 901, which is responsible for introducing the carrier gas into the device. The bottom end of the inlet pipe 901 is connected to the front side of the outer wall of the flow equalization ring 4, and the top end of the inlet pipe 901 is connected to the front side of the outer wall of the sealing shell 203. An exhaust pipe 902 is connected to the right side of the outer wall of the adsorption column 201. The bottom end of the exhaust pipe 902 is connected to the split tube 801. A connecting seat 903 is connected to the front side of the outer wall of the inlet pipe 901 for connecting to an external carrier gas source, providing an access point for the entire carrier gas supply system, and ensuring that the carrier gas can be stably input.
[0041] Specifically, in the split assembly 8, the left end of the split tube 801 is connected to the right side of the outer wall of the connecting tube 5, responsible for drawing out the sample in the connecting tube 5 for splitting. The control valve 802 connected to the left side of the outer wall of the connecting tube 5 can control the flow rate and direction of the sample in the connecting tube 5, thereby adjusting the split ratio to meet different analytical needs. The one-way valve 803 fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the split tube 801 ensures that the split sample can only flow in the set direction, preventing sample backflow and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the splitting process. The bottom end of the inlet tube 901 is connected to the front side of the outer wall of the flow equalization ring 4, and the top end is connected to the front side of the outer wall of the sealing shell 203. Its function is to introduce carrier gas into the device. The carrier gas first reaches the sealing shell 203 through the inlet tube 901, and works in conjunction with the heating wire 202 to assist in heating the sample in the adsorption column 201. Then the carrier gas enters the flow equalization ring 4 and mixes evenly with the treated sample. The bottom end of the exhaust pipe 902, connected to the right side of the outer wall of the adsorption column 201, is connected to the split pipe 801, allowing the carrier gas, after sample processing within the adsorption column 201, to enter the split pipe 801 and flow together with the split sample, further ensuring the stability of the sample during the splitting process. The connector 903, connected to the front side of the outer wall of the inlet pipe 901, is used to connect to an external carrier gas source, providing an access point for the entire carrier gas supply system and ensuring a stable input of carrier gas.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8The quick-connect assembly 10 includes two inserts 1001, which are key components of the quick-connect assembly 10 and are used to achieve a quick connection between the inlet connector 7 and the filter housing 205. The top ends of the two inserts 1001 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the inlet connector 7, respectively. The front and rear sides of the top of the filter housing 205 are provided with slots 1002 for engaging with the inserts 1001, providing space for the inserts 1001 to be inserted, thereby achieving the initial positioning and connection between the inlet connector 7 and the filter housing 205. The two inserts 1001 are slidably connected to the corresponding slots 1002, so that the inlet connector 7 can be inserted and pulled out relative to the filter housing 205, facilitating quick and easy connection and separation. The outer walls of the two inserts 1001 are provided with reserved grooves 1003 on the opposite sides to accommodate the spring 1004 and the locking block 1005, providing them with installation space. Springs 1004 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both reserved slots 1003 to provide elasticity, allowing the locking block 1005 to remain extended when no external force is applied, thus ensuring the fastening of the sample inlet connector 7 to the filter shell 205 after connection. Locking blocks 1005 are fixedly connected to the opposite end of each spring 1004. Under the action of the springs 1004, these blocks engage with the locking grooves 1006 on the filter shell 205, further securing the connection between the sample inlet connector 7 and the filter shell 205 and preventing accidental separation. Two locking blocks 1005 are slidably connected to corresponding reserved slots 1003, allowing the locking blocks 1005 to retract into the reserved slots 1003 when subjected to external force, facilitating the separation of the sample inlet connector 7 from the filter shell 205. The outer wall of the filter shell 205 has locking slots 1006 on both the front and rear sides. These slots 1006 engage with the locking blocks 1005, providing a locking position and enhancing the stability of the connection between the sample inlet connector 7 and the filter shell 205. The two locking blocks 1005 engage with their corresponding slots 1006, achieving a secure connection between the sample inlet connector 7 and the filter shell 205, ensuring no loosening occurs during device operation. A sealing gasket 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter shell 205 to enhance the sealing of the connection between the sample inlet connector 7 and the filter shell 205, preventing sample leakage at the connection point. The bottom ends of the two locking blocks 1005 respectively penetrate the sealing gaskets 11, ensuring that the locking blocks 1005 can smoothly engage with the locking slots 1006 without affecting the sealing effect of the sealing gaskets 11; the right side of the outer wall of the treatment box 301 is connected to a discharge pipe 12, which is used to discharge the treated waste gas in the treatment box 301 to a designated external location. A discharge valve 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge pipe 12, which is used to control the discharge of waste gas in the discharge pipe 12. The discharge channel can be opened or closed as needed, and the discharge speed of the waste gas can be adjusted.
[0043] Specifically, the quick-connect assembly 10 enables rapid connection and secure fixation between the inlet connector 7 and the filter housing 205. Two insert blocks 1001 are fixed at their top ends to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the inlet connector 7, and slide in connection with the slots 1002 on the front and rear sides of the top of the filter housing 205, initially positioning them. A spring 1004 is fixed at one end in a pre-drilled groove 1003 on the outer wall of the insert block 1001, and the other end is connected to a locking block 1005, which can slide within the groove 1003. When the insert block 1001 is inserted into the slot 1002, the locking block 1005 pops out under the elastic force of the spring 1004, engaging with the slot 1006 on the outer wall of the filter housing 205, ensuring a secure connection between the inlet connector 7 and the filter housing 205 and preventing sample leakage. A sealing gasket 11 is fixed to the top of the filter housing 205, and the bottom end of the locking block 1005 passes through the sealing gasket 11, further enhancing the sealing of the connection. In terms of waste gas treatment, the right side of the outer wall of the treatment box 301 is connected to the discharge pipe 12. The discharge valve 13 on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 12 is used to control the discharge of purified waste gas. It can be opened or closed according to actual needs to achieve effective management of waste gas discharge.
[0044] Working Principle: In use, connect the housing 1 to the gas chromatograph inlet and simultaneously connect the inlet connector 7 to the sample container outlet to establish a channel for sample entry into the device. Then, inject the sample to be tested into the inlet connector 7, which passes through the filter screen 208, filter plate 207, and filter cotton 206. The filter screen 208 intercepts larger particulate impurities, the filter plate 207 further filters smaller particles, and the filter cotton 206 adsorbs fine impurities. This layer-by-layer filtration effectively removes various impurities from the sample, preventing them from entering subsequent components and contaminating the inlet. The filtered sample enters the adsorption column 201. Simultaneously, connect the connector 903 to an external carrier gas cylinder, and introduce carrier gas through the inlet pipe 901. The carrier gas plays a role in carrying the sample and assisting in sample transport throughout the process. Then, start the heater 204, which supplies power to the heating wire 202 located in the cavity between the adsorption column 201 and the sealed housing 203. Due to its unique location, the heat generated by the heating wire 202 can be efficiently transferred to the adsorption column 201, heating the filtered sample. Heating brings the sample to a suitable state, facilitating subsequent splitting and analysis. The heated sample then enters the equalization ring 4. The function of the equalization ring 4 is to ensure uniform sample distribution and consistent sample properties across all portions. The sample is split through the splitter tube 801 on the connecting tube 5. The splitting process precisely delivers a portion of the sample to the chromatograph for analysis according to a preset ratio. Through effective filtration and heating of the sample in the pre-processing stage, problems such as uneven sample vaporization and inaccurate splitting ratios caused by inlet contamination are avoided, greatly improving the accuracy and repeatability of the analytical results.
[0045] When the gas chromatograph is running and waste gas is generated and requires treatment, the waste gas enters the treatment chamber 301 through the channel connected to the housing 1. The treatment chamber 301 serves as the main space for waste gas treatment, and its internal rack 302 plays a crucial role, holding activated carbon. Activated carbon has strong adsorption properties and can effectively adsorb harmful substances in the waste gas. To improve the adsorption efficiency of the activated carbon, heating lamps 305 on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the treatment chamber 301 are activated. The heat generated by the heating lamps 305 heats the activated carbon in the middle of the limiting ring 304. At a suitable temperature, the adsorption activity of the activated carbon is enhanced, enabling more efficient purification of the exhaust gas entering the treatment chamber 301, adsorbing harmful substances such as organic pollutants in the waste gas. The gas purified by the activated carbon passes through multiple vent holes 303 opened at the top of the rack 302 and enters the bottom of the treatment chamber 301. This purified gas is finally discharged through the discharge pipe 12, thus meeting environmental emission standards and reducing environmental pollution. When the device is no longer in use or the activated carbon needs to be replaced, the fixing component 307 can be operated. Open the two latches 3071 on the right side of the outer wall of the sealing cover 306 to separate them from the hooks 3072 on the right side of the outer wall of the treatment box 301. Then rotate the sealing cover 306 to open the treatment box 301, making it convenient to replace or maintain the activated carbon on the placement rack 302.
