The sidewall of the exchange bin 500 is provided with a through hole 502, the first tube 6 of the conveying rod 200 can drive the clamping device 10 to extend into the exchange bin 500 from the through hole 502 to be connected with the sample stage 100, that is, the fixing portion 1 of the clamping device 10 extends into the connecting hole 50 of the sample stage, the movable portion 2 abuts against the sidewall of the sample stage, and the clamping block 23 is clamped in the bayonet 60. Then, the first chamber door 302 is opened, the motor 91 is used for rotating forward to drive the first tube 6 to move in the first direction, so that the clamping device 10 drives the sample stage 100 to enter the vacuum chamber 300, and the sample stage 100 is placed on the support table 301. Subsequently, the electromagnet 4 is powered on to drive the push rod 3 to move in the first direction, so that the movable part is separated from the sample stage 100 (i.e. the clamping device releases the sample stage), at this time, the motor 91 rotates reversely to withdraw the first tube 6 from the vacuum chamber 300, and then the first chamber door 302 is closed, so that the sample feeding operation of the sample 400 is completed. It is understood that the sample 400 can be taken out from the vacuum chamber 300 by similar methods, and the sampling operation of the sample 400 is realized, and the embodiment is not described herein too much.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
