Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fix a sample with an arbitrary shape and thickness regardless of the shape and thickness of the sample in an X-ray diffraction device. SOLUTION: The X-ray diffraction device comprises an X-ray diffraction device 1, a sample-mounting section 5 for supporting the sample S, and a fixation section 30 that can be moved and fixed to the sample-mounting section. The fixation section 30 is in contact with the side section of the sample, and is fixed to the sample-mounting section 5 in this state, thus fixing the sample on the sample-mounting section. The fixation section 30 is brought into contact with the side section of the sample for fixing regardless of the shape and thickness of the sample. As a result, by pressing the sample from a crosswise direction instead of from an upper direction, the sample with an arbitrary shape and thickness can be fixed regardless of the shape and thickness of the sample.

The conventional X-ray diffractometer has a problem in fixing a sample to a sample mounting portion. In the conventional X-ray diffractometer, the sample is fixed to the sample mounting portion by pressing the sample from above with a fixing member such as a holding plate or a spring material. Usually, the holding plate or the spring material is attached to the sample mounting portion. On the other hand, it is screwed at a predetermined position. In the conventional fixing with a holding plate or spring material, there are limitations on the sample that can be fixed depending on the setting position and size of the holding plate or spring material, and depending on the shape of the sample, it may be possible to adjust the position to the setting position of the holding plate or spring material. In some cases, it may not be possible to hold a thick sample with a holding plate or a spring material, so that the sample cannot be fixed on the sample mounting portion.

The fixing portion can be constituted by a positioning pin which comes into contact with a side portion of the sample, and a block which can move and fix the positioning pin along a groove formed in the sample mounting portion. The fixing of the portion to the groove can be performed by a fixing screw. To fix the sample on the sample mounting part, loosen the fixing screw so that the block can be moved with respect to the groove, move the block along the groove, and place it at a predetermined position on the sample mounting part. The positioning pin is brought into contact with the side of the sample. After the positioning pin is brought into contact with the side of the sample, the fixing screw is tightened to fix the block in the groove. By this fixing, the sample is fixed at a predetermined position on the sample mounting portion by the positioning pin.

Since the positioning pin is fixed so as to sandwich the outer shape of the sample, the positioning pin can be fixed regardless of the formation of the sample. Further, since the positioning pin is positioned and fixed by abutting from the side of the sample, it can be fixed regardless of the thickness of the sample. The fixing part can be constituted by a plurality or one, and in the case of a plurality of fixing parts, the moving direction of the fixing part is a direction sandwiching the sample. In the case of using one fixing portion, the sample is fixed by sandwiching the sample between a holding portion provided at a position where the sample is sandwiched on the sample mounting portion.

The support spring 30e presses a part of the upper end surface of the block 30c against one part of the groove 31 so that the block 30c moves in the groove 31 when the block 30c is moved and when the block 30c is fixed by the fixing screw 30b. To prevent
Smooth slide movement and fixing operation.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a fixed state of a sample by the fixing section of the present invention. FIG. 6A shows a case where the shape of the sample S is a quadrangle, and FIG. 6B shows a case where the shape of the sample S is a pentagon. In any case, the fixing portion slides along the groove portion 31 so that the positioning pin 30a is brought into contact with the side portion of the sample S, and can be fixed so as to sandwich the sample S. This positioning pin 30a
The contact between the sample S and the side of the sample S is performed when the shape of the sample S is square or 5
It can correspond to any shape, not limited to a square shape. In addition, as long as the fixing portion is within a movable range in the groove, the fixing can be performed regardless of the size of the sample S. Therefore, according to the fixing portion of the present invention, the sample can be fixed regardless of the shape and thickness of the sample.

Further, according to the fixing portion of the present invention, the displacement of the sample S on the sample mounting portion 5 can be reliably suppressed. FIG. 7 shows that the displacement of the sample is suppressed by the present invention. When the thickness of the sample S is not uniform as shown in FIG. 7A, the analysis surface of the sample S needs to be a horizontal surface on the sample mounting portion 5 in order to perform the display analysis of the sample S with the X-ray diffractometer. There is. Therefore, FIG.
As shown in FIG.
Then, the sample mounting part 5 is inclined to adjust the surface of the sample S horizontally, as shown in FIG. 7C. Since the fixing portion of the present invention positions and fixes the sample S from the lateral direction by the positioning pin, it is possible to suppress the sample S from sliding on the sample mounting portion 5 and being displaced.

On the other hand, FIG. 7D shows a state in which the sample is fixed by the conventional holding plate. The fixing by the holding plate 40 only suppresses the sample S from above.
Is difficult to stop, and it is difficult to prevent displacement. Further, the fixing portion used in the present invention is not limited to a configuration in which two fixing portions are provided so as to be opposed to two orthogonal groove portions, as shown in the above configuration example, and may be a configuration in which the sample S is sandwiched and fixed in the lateral direction. For example, the number of grooves and the number of fixing portions can be set variously. FIG. 8 shows another arrangement of the fixing portion of the present invention.
