Background technology
The ion transfer of atmospheric pressure ionizationion time-of-flight mass spectrometer and drawing-in system use quadrupole rod and many group electrostatic lens conventionally.First ion can enter molecular ion reactor (MIR), through preliminary focus on laggard enter radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ), colliding cooling rear ion kinetic energy close to heat energy value with background air molecule, follow cooled ion and accelerate to enter DC static quadrupole rod (DCQ) and one dimension einzel lens.Ion beam is modulated into flat pattern by DCQ and one dimension simple lens system, effectively reduces ion energy and disperse, and can control the incident direction of ion beam, makes up to a certain extent the rigging error between ion modulation transmissions district and analyzer.The ion transfer of this routine and drawing-in system are through development for many years, and technology is day by day ripe, applies also more and more extensive.
Conventional atmospheric pressure ionizationion time-of-flight mass spectrometer adopts continuous input mode conventionally, be that sample is continuously input to instrument, and adopt the time of flight mass analyzer of pulse repulsion mode can lose part ion in the time of work, because ion is pushed into analyzer in the time that repulsion pulse is high level, in the time that repulsion pulse is low level, ion can pass repulsion district, until next repulsion high level arrives.Add that again conventional ion transfer and drawing-in system only play transmission ion, can not enrichment ion, the instrument insufficient sensitivity that will seem in the time that sample concentration is too low like this.

Embodiment
The present embodiment is the transformation based on conventional art, as shown in Figure 1, comprises ion ion reactor 1, radiofrequency quadrupole 2, DC static quadrupole rod 3, one dimension einzel lens 4 and the repulsion district of process successively.Ion beam is modulated into flat pattern by DC static quadrupole rod 3 and one dimension einzel lens 4, effectively reduces ion energy and disperse.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, radiofrequency quadrupole 2 is made up of four round bars 21 and four square bars 22, four round bars 21 and four square bars 22 are fixed on three fixing circle seats, radiofrequency quadrupole 2 entirety are placed in the long cylinder of a cylindrical metal material, both sides are respectively the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6, form thus a sealing chamber, the chamber internal gas pressure of this sealing chamber is at 10E
-3torr left and right.Wherein the center of the first electrode 5 is provided with ion inlet orifice, and the center of the second electrode 6 is provided with ion outlet.Four round bar 21 axially parallels, and relative round bar 21 is connected to each other by wire, is strapped in chamber cooling ion by applying radio-frequency voltage.Four square bars 22 all relatively axis form an angle,, when apply direct voltage on square bar 22 time, due to distance between tie rods difference, will on axis, produce different voltage influences, thereby can form axial accelerating field.Four round bars 21, four square bars 22, the first electrode 5, the second electrode 6 and cylinder mutual insulating, be connected and fixed by the insulation PEEK pad of high pressure resistant high temperature.
In order to obtain the effect of enrichment, as shown in Figure 4, the first electrode 5 is connected to fixing DC power supply 7, the second electrode 6 is connected to high-voltage pulse power source 8, this high-voltage pulse power source 8 forms first via high-voltage pulse signal, and the direct current amplitude applying on the first electrode 5 is higher than the low level of the high-voltage pulse applying on the second electrode 6.First via high-voltage pulse signal frequency range is 1Hz ~ 20kHz, and pulsewidth is 50ns ~ 100us, and rising edge of a pulse is less than 100ns, and amplitude adjustable extent is 0 ~ 200V.
The ion enrichment device using method of the atmospheric pressure ionizationion time-of-flight mass spectrometer of the present embodiment is as follows:
(1) on the round bar 21 of radiofrequency quadrupole 2, apply radio-frequency voltage, on adjacent round bar 21, apply that amplitude is identical, the voltage of opposite direction, on relative round bar 21, apply all the same voltage of amplitude phase place.
(2) on four square bars 22, apply identical direct voltage.
