Background technique
High performance liquid chromatography is a chromatographic important branch, is using liquid as mobile phase, using high pressure infuser
The mobile phases such as mixed solvent, the buffer of single solvent or different proportion with opposed polarity are pumped into equipped with fixing by system
The chromatographic column of phase is detected after each ingredient of sample is separated in chromatographic column into detector, to realize to sample
The qualitative and quantitative analysis of product.This method has become important in the ambits such as chemistry, medicine, industry, agronomy, commodity inspection and method inspection
Separate analytical technique.High performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) is the instrument for this analysis method.
Infusion pump in high performance liquid chromatograph is mainly used for for one or more mobile phases being injected into system, infusion pump
It is mainly connected and is formed with plunger pump in series by polynary gradient valve, polynary gradient valve has multiple solenoid valves, each solenoid valve difference
For receiving a kind of mobile phase, after the public passage for then passing through gradient valve, into plunger pump in series.Solenoid valve divides after powered up
The opening and closing of fluid path are not corresponded to for realizing it.When solenoid valve Inside coil is powered, the iron core of valve inner is in electromagnetism
The active force for restoring spring is overcome under the action of power, is moved, thus the fluid path channel blocked at the front position opened, liquid
Body flows through the channel, and from the common end of gradient valve, outflow enters chromatograph system;Power-off when, solenoid valve Inside coil by
In losing electromagnetic force, spring force can not be overcome, to seal the channel and public passage by springback to initial position
Fluid path connection, the channel close.
In high performance liquid chromatograph, the effect of polynary gradient valve is that distribution multichannel is gone according to mixed proportion set by user
Mobile phase liquid, and whether mixed flow phase accurately is gone by the mixed proportion of setting, it is an important factor for influencing test result.
Due to the reasons in structure of solenoid valve, have certain response time (specific when each solenoid valve opens and closes
Delay time is related to the mechanical structure of solenoid valve), it is the current curve during electromagnetic valve work, (1) with reference to Fig. 1
Ab sections: solenoid valve is initially powered up, and after electromagnetic valve coil is passed through electric current, since coil is there are inductance, the counter electromotive force of generation hinders
Hinder electric current in coil to increase, prevents it from being rapidly reached steady-state value;The electromagnetic force that the electric current generates is not enough to overcome suffered by spool
The resistance of motion (damping spring, stiction), spool is not turned on.(2) bc sections: after coil current increases to b point, electromagnetism
Power overcomes the resistance of motion suffered by spool (damping spring, stiction), spool setting in motion, anti-electronic due to coil at this time
Gesture effect, the electric current of coil become smaller instead at this time, and electric power reduces simultaneously.But resistance also becomes smaller therewith.(3) cd sections.This rank
Section spool reaches maximum position, and since spool is motionless at this time, the inductance of coil is constant, so electric current rises again, it with it is previous
There are an intersection point (c points) for stage current curve, at the time of this point is exactly that spool reaches exactly to maximum open position.(4) ef sections:
Solenoid valve power-off, applied voltage is 0V after power-off, and due to the effect of electromagnetic valve coil inductance, electric current will not be mutated, remaining electricity
Stream closes spool slowly.As it can be seen that ac sections and ef sections are response time of the solenoid valve when opening and closing respectively, and liquid
Flow is directly proportional to the opening time of solenoid valve, so the response time will lead to more greatly fluid flow and exceed standard volume more
It is more, so that the amount of liquid inaccuracy of each channel transfer, and then lead to mixed liquid fraction inaccuracy, finally influence liquid phase
Chromatographic measurement result.
In conclusion the solenoid valve lacked in a kind of gradient valve in the prior art is enable to respond quickly in beginning and closing
Liquid chromatograph.

In the present embodiment, an adjusting is connected separately between gradient valve controling circuit 207 and A, B, C, D solenoid valve
Circuit 208 is respectively used to adjust the unlatching response time of four solenoid valves and close the response time.With reference to Fig. 4, in the present embodiment
In, adjusting circuit 208 includes 2081, discharge resistances 2082 of a mos pipe and a backward dioded 2083, gradient valve control
The output end 2084 of circuit 207 processed is connect with the first voltage input terminal 2085 of solenoid valve, the grid and solenoid valve of mos pipe 2081

In the present embodiment, the control terminal of the control circuit in gradient valve controling circuit 207 issues enable signal, and control is driven
Dynamic circuit output voltage signal, drive magnetic valve work.
It is the driving voltage change curve of solenoid valve with reference to Fig. 5.5 introduce gradient valve controling circuit with reference to the accompanying drawing
The course of work of 207 drive magnetic valves.
1) solenoid valve enters open state
The output end 2084 of gradient valve controling circuit 207 generates a d. c. voltage signal, the amplitude of the d. c. voltage signal
Greater than the voltage rating of solenoid valve, solenoid valve enters open state according to the d. c. voltage signal.After solenoid valves, adjust
Circuit 208 enters over-voltage open state, and DC voltage opens metal-oxide-semiconductor 2081, and the link circuit of solenoid valve only has metal-oxide-semiconductor at this time
2081 accesses are connected to ground, and solenoid valve is opened under big voltage, and continues for some time (ad of times in Fig. 5), this section
In time, the electric current in solenoid valve is gradually increased, and fully opens solenoid valve.Using the direct current for being greater than solenoid valve voltage rating
Press signal, it is therefore an objective to make solenoid valve under the driving of big voltage, the current changing rate in coil increases, and coil can be made quick in this way
Charging generates electromagnetic force, quickly opens valve body, therefore shortens and open response time (ac of times in Fig. 5).It is straight in selection
It when galvanic electricity presses duration (ad sections), should guarantee that solenoid valve fully opens, and solenoid valve will not be made to be in high for a long time
Pressure condition had needed to meet simultaneously not only quickly unlatching, but also the condition in solenoid valve service life will not be lost, in the feelings for meeting above-mentioned requirements
Under condition, the size of DC voltage duration can carry out flexible setting.
As an example, the amplitude of d. c. voltage signal can according to need flexible selection, and value range can be in electricity
In the range of the load voltage value of magnet valve to the maximum supply voltage of driving circuit.
2) solenoid valve is kept it turned on
After solenoid valve fully opens, it can enter and keep it turned on, at this time the output end of gradient valve controling circuit 207
2084 generate a PWM (pulsewidth modulation) signal, and solenoid valve is kept it turned on according to the pwm signal.When the high level of pwm signal
When arrival, adjusting circuit 208, metal-oxide-semiconductor 2081 can be connected, and solenoid valve is in the open state at this time;It is low when pwm signal
When level arrives, discharge condition can be switched to by adjusting circuit 208, because metal-oxide-semiconductor 2081 can close automatically when low level
It closes, the circuit of solenoid valve is directly connected with discharge resistance 2082, and solenoid valve is in the state that do not power at this time, can only be consumed certainly
The energy that own coil saves, the energy on coil can discharge, at this point, the high level of pwm signal is come again, coil has in voltage
Under the action of again keep it turned on, so recycle always, the equivalent voltage on solenoid valve can be gradually reduced, and both keep solenoid valve
Open state, and reduce solenoid valve generation heat, the service life for the high-pressure loss valve body for avoiding valve body lasting.
In the present embodiment, the amplitude of pwm signal and the amplitude of d. c. voltage signal are equal, and the duty ratio of pwm signal can
To be adjusted according to the characteristic of specific valve body, such as can be according to the closing response time of the solenoid valve measured inherently
The duty ratio of pwm signal is set, and the duty ratio of the pwm signal by controlling each solenoid valve, control solenoid valve is being kept it turning on
The equivalent voltage of process, so that the closing response time of solenoid valve is controlled, so that one of each solenoid valve in same gradient valve
Cause property is more preferable.
3) solenoid valve enters closed state
After the completion of solenoid valve infusion, into closed state, gradient valve controling circuit 207 stops outputting drive voltage signal.
Discharge loop can be automatically switched to by adjusting circuit 208 at this time, and metal-oxide-semiconductor 2081 can be automatically closed, and the circuit of solenoid valve is direct and puts
Resistance 2082 connects, and allows the coil of solenoid valve to rapidly deplete its energy by discharge resistance 2082, reaches the mesh of repid discharge
, so that the closing response time (the ef section in Fig. 5) of solenoid valve becomes smaller.Assuming that L is the equivalent inductance value of electromagnetic valve coil, R
It is the resistance value of discharge resistance 2082, the discharge time constant t=L/R of coil, the size by adjusting discharge resistance 2082 can be with
Adjust the discharge time of electric coil.Since the moment closed in solenoid valve can generate reverse induction electromotive force, adjust in circuit 208
2083 pairs of backward dioded release, avoid its generate instantaneous pressure electric arc damage device.
To sum up, liquid chromatograph of the invention is given when solenoid valve enters open state by adjusting circuit 208
Solenoid valve inputs the high pressure of moment, and solenoid valve is made to shorten electricity compared with prior art in very short time quick and complete unlatching
The unlatching response time of magnet valve.
When solenoid valve is in and keeps it turned on, solenoid valve is controlled using pwm signal, passes through the height of pwm signal
Level and low level toggle solenoid valve between opening and closing, effectively reduce and are added in two sections of solenoid valve equivalent
Voltage avoids lasting high pressure and makes coil heating, the service life of valve body is lost;In addition, if the voltage and current on coil is got over
Greatly, for solenoid valve when closing, the time needed is longer, and voltage and current added on coil is bigger, is closing electromagnetism
The reverse induction electromotive force that valve moment generates is bigger, can hinder the quick variation of electric current in coil, also can extend the shut-in time,
So on coil equivalent voltage and current reduction, also lay a good groundwork for quick closedown solenoid valve below.
When solenoid valve enters closed state, since front keeps it turning on the good place mat that the stage does, add
The acceleration of discharge resistance 2082 is discharged, and the discharge time of solenoid valve is further shortened.

The cathode of diode 601 and the first voltage input terminal 2085 of solenoid valve connect, and in the present embodiment, counter-current diode 601 is used
In the adverse effect that the backward current for preventing solenoid valve from generating generates gradient valve controling circuit 207, to gradient valve controling circuit
207 play a protective role.
As another preferred embodiment for adjusting circuit 208 in the present embodiment, adjusting in circuit 208 further includes one
Capacitor 602 is connected between the first voltage input terminal 2085 of solenoid valve and the grid of mos pipe 2081, in the present embodiment, is led to

Between be in high pressure conditions, accumulate a large amount of charge on capacitor 602, damaged caused by other devices.Also, if circuit occurs
Failure, cannot generate pwm signal reduces equivalent voltage, and the resistance-capacitance network that capacitor 602 and resistance 603 form can be by voltage slowly
It reduces, avoids since long-time is in high pressure conditions damage caused by valve body.

As the another kind for adjusting circuit 208 in the present embodiment for example, adjusting the discharge resistance 2082 in circuit 208
It can be made of, can also be constituted by multiple resistance are in series or in parallel a resistance.
Illustrate as an example, it can be according to the design needs between gradient valve controling circuit 208 and any one solenoid valve
Selection connection is not connected to adjust circuit 208, and the solenoid valve that connection adjusts circuit 208 can use method of the present invention
The opening and closing response time of solenoid valve is adjusted, the solenoid valve for not connecting adjusting circuit 208 can not be corresponding
It adjusts.
The present inventor passes through internal structure, driving principle and the switch motion feature of further investigation gradient valve,
On the basis of a large amount of experiment and data, the movement of the solenoid valve in gradient valve is divided into three by binding isotherm qualitative and quantitative analysis
A stage goes to be analyzed.Solenoid valve open stage quickly increases coil current using moment over-voltage, it is made quickly to generate electricity
Magnetic force attracts iron core to open valve body;Solenoid valve keeps it turning on the stage, in the way of PWM, reduces coil voltage electric current, reduces
The power loss of coil reduces the heat of generation, and lays the groundwork for solenoid valve closing;Solenoid valve closed stage, in power down moment,
Circuit be switched to discharge resistance 2082 that all the way, the energy on coil is consumed at once, reduces the shut-in time of solenoid valve.
And the present invention also create it is below the utility model has the advantages that
1, it reduces the unlatching response time of solenoid valve and closes the response time, solenoid valve, which is opened the response time and closed, to be rung
It is all concentrated in a lesser time range between seasonable, the gradient valve and same gradient valve for effectively reducing different batches are not
With the otherness between solenoid valve.
2, the speed of response of gradient valve is improved.The flow inaccuracy via the mobile phase of valve channel is reduced to measurement
As a result influence.
3, it when solenoid valve is opened, by moment over-voltage, not only ensure that electromagnetism fully opened, but also effectively reduced for a long time
Big voltage and current be lost caused by valve body.And the response time is opened due to reducing, then reduces adjacent valve channel
Between when switch, the length of the vacuum time of generation.Vacuum time refers to that a channel in gradient valve is just closed, but
When another channel is opened not yet, the pump housing of plunger pump in series is still moved this moment, just has imbibition drain phenomenon,
Cause to generate value of the rebound phenomena to influence pressure.
