[0002] Evaporative light scattering (ELS) detectors are general-purpose detectors used in separation and analysis techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). They require an nebulizer to atomize the sample into tiny droplets. For example, patent document CN222144950U discloses an atomizing nozzle for an ELS detector.

[0003] However, the fixed spray range of the aforementioned atomizing nozzles results in uneven distribution of aerosols in space, reducing the coverage area after atomization. Consequently, it cannot adapt well to eluents with different flow rates and volumes, thus reducing detection accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This utility model discloses an atomizing nozzle structure for an evaporative light scattering detector.

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The atomizing nozzle structure of an evaporative light scattering detector shown includes a nozzle 1 and a main nozzle 2 located at the front end of the nozzle 1. Multiple side nozzles 3 are arranged symmetrically around the outside of the main nozzle 2. A liquid guide tube 4 is connected between the side nozzles 3 and the nozzle 1.

[0027] A connecting plate 5 is fixedly provided at the end of the side nozzle 3. A support shaft 6 is fixedly provided inside the connecting plate 5. A mounting plate 7 is rotatably sleeved on the shaft wall of the support shaft 6. The mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 1.

[0028] An angle adjustment mechanism for driving the side nozzle 3 to swing is provided between the side nozzle 3 and the nozzle 1. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a sleeve 8, which is sleeved on the outside of the nozzle 1. Multiple pull plates 9 are fixedly provided at the opening of the sleeve 8 in a symmetrical arrangement around it. A rack 10 is fixedly provided at the end of the pull plate 9. A gear 11 is provided in cooperation with the rack 10. The gear 11 is fixedly sleeved with the support shaft 6.

[0029] In order to enable stable lateral engagement between gear 11 and rack 10, the rotation angle of the side nozzle 3 can be quickly adjusted, such as... Figure 2-3 As shown, the outer wall of the nozzle 1 is provided with an external thread 12, and an internal thread tube 13 is threadedly fitted on it. The internal thread tube 13 is rotatably inserted into the inside of the sleeve 8. A slider 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the pull plate 9. A guide rod 15 is slidably inserted inside the slider 14. The guide rod 15 is a U-shaped rod. A through hole 16 is provided inside the slider 14 to cooperate with the sliding of the guide rod 15. The guide rod 15 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the nozzle 1.

[0030] Working principle: Before the evaporative light scattering detector starts working, the eluent flows in through the nozzle 1 and is distributed to the main nozzle 2 and each side nozzle 3 through the liquid guide tube 4;

[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the atomization spray angle, rotate the internal threaded tube 13. Since the internal threaded tube 13 is threadedly connected to the external thread 12 on the outer wall of the nozzle 1, and the internal threaded tube 13 is rotated through the inside of the sleeve 8, rotating the internal threaded tube 13 will cause it to move along the axial direction of the nozzle 1. When the internal threaded tube 13 moves, it will drive the sleeve 8 connected to it to move synchronously.

[0032] The pull plate 9 fixed at the opening of the sleeve 8 will move together with the sleeve 8. The rack 10 fixed at the end of the pull plate 9 will also move. The rack 10 and the gear 11 cooperate with each other. The movement of the rack 10 will drive the gear 11 to rotate. Because the gear 11 is fixedly sleeved with the support shaft 6, and the support shaft 6 passes through the connecting plate 5 and is rotatably sleeved on the mounting plate 7, when the gear 11 rotates, it will drive the support shaft 6 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate 5 connected to the support shaft 6 and the side nozzle 3 to swing around the support shaft 6.

[0033] During the movement of the pull plate 9, the slider 14 fixed at its bottom slides on the guide rod 15. The through hole 16 inside the slider 14 cooperates with the guide rod 15. The guide rod 15 is a U-shaped rod. This structural design ensures that the slider 14 can only move laterally along the direction of the guide rod 15, thereby ensuring that the rack 10 and gear 11 move stably in the lateral direction, so that the angle adjustment mechanism can operate stably and achieve precise adjustment of the rotation angle of the opposite nozzle 3.

[0034] By adjusting the angle of the side nozzle 3, the atomization spray direction of the side nozzle 3 is changed, making the aerosol sprayed from the side nozzle 3 more evenly distributed in space, effectively expanding the coverage area after atomization, and thus better adapting to eluents with different flow rates and volumes, improving the accuracy and stability of the evaporative light scattering detector.

[0035] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
