Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometers, in particular to a switchable ion focusing screening and fragmentation device.
Background
In accordance with the principle by which mass spectrometers operate, at least one ion focusing device is typically included for efficient transfer of ions from the ion source to the mass analyser. Conventional ion focusing devices mainly include two types: an ion funnel using a stacked ring electrode, a multipole using a quadrupole field or a multipole using a multipole field. The use of ion funnels or multipole rods as transmission devices has certain disadvantages, such as: vacuum tolerance, mass discrimination effects, neutral ion interference, and the like. To some extent, there are instruments that use ion funnels in conjunction with multipole rod technology, but because of the longer transport distances, more ion loss occurs.
In the analysis of complex samples, multi-stage mass spectrometry is often used to obtain more structural information and reduce the influence of non-target ions. Ion collision induced dissociation is an ion fragmentation method widely used at present, and the specific implementation method is to control the ion kinetic energy under the condition of higher air pressure to enable the ion kinetic energy to collide with background gas molecules to further fragment, refocus and transmit the fragmented ions to a mass analyzer for analysis.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Meanwhile, based on a structure similar to that of a linear ion trap, the ion screening fragmentation effect can be achieved.
According to actual requirements, when all ion information from an ion source needs to be analyzed, the ion funnel electric field mode can be adopted for operation, so that the ion passing rate is maximized, the loss in the transmission process is reduced, and the sensitivity is increased; when the information of a specific ion in all ions from the ion source needs to be analyzed, the ion source can operate in a quadrupole field mode, and the Mathieu equation is utilized to calculate the appropriate alternating current voltage and direct current voltage, so that only target ions can pass through, and the interference of other non-target ions is reduced; in addition, the device can also provide the function of ion fragmentation when the ion fragment information needs to be analyzed. The switchable ion focusing screening and fragmentation function makes the ion focusing screening and fragmentation function have industrial application value.
The device comprises two groups of metal pole piece group arrays, a power supply device and a connecting device.
The two groups of metal pole piece groups are connected in series and are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the ion transmission direction. The first metal pole piece group array comprises one or more axially arranged pole piece groups with the same inscribed circle radius, and the second metal pole piece group array comprises one or more axially arranged pole piece groups with the constantly changing inscribed circle radius. As a preferred scheme, the second metal pole piece group array is arranged behind the first metal pole piece group array, and the distance between the pole piece groups of the two groups of metal pole piece group arrays, the distance between the last group of pole piece group of the first metal pole piece group array and the distance between the first group of pole piece group of the second metal pole piece group array are the same. The pole pieces of the first metal pole piece group array and the second metal pole piece group array are stainless steel, aluminum alloy or printed circuit boards.
As shown in fig. 2, each of the plate groups of each of the metal plate group arrays is composed of four metal plates 111 which are uniformly and symmetrically arranged and have the same shape, and the radius of the inscribed circle of each of the metal plate groups ranges from 0.1 cm to 10 cm. The inner shape of the metal pole piece 111 is convex round, concave round or convex hyperboloid for generating the required electric field. Each metal pole piece 111 is provided with a projection provided toward the outside for applying a voltage. The thickness size range of the metal pole piece group is as follows: 0.1-1 cm. The interval size range among the metal pole piece groups is as follows: 0.1-2 cm. The change rule of the radius of the inscribed circle of the second metal pole piece group array follows a linear, parabolic or hyperbolic rule. Fig. 7 to 9 show side view structures of a second metal pole piece group array which adopts pole piece groups with three different shapes and the radius of the inscribed circle of the pole piece group is reduced in sequence.
The power supply device provides direct current and alternating current voltages for the first metal pole piece group array and the second metal pole piece group array, applies sequentially increasing or decreasing direct current voltage to each pole piece group along the ion transmission direction to provide ion horizontal kinetic energy control, and meanwhile, the electrification of the RF radio frequency voltage applied to the metal electrodes in the pole piece groups and between the metal electrodes can be controlled according to different working modes. The direct current voltage can be freely adjusted according to the control requirement of the ion horizontal kinetic energy, and the RF alternating current voltage can be freely adjusted according to different requirements of an operation mode, focusing fragmentation and the like. The power supply part adopts a printed circuit board to weld a resistor for voltage division and a capacitor for DC blocking, in the embodiment, the DC voltage is 15V-80V, the RF voltage is 200Vpp, and the RF frequency is 400 kHz.
Preferably, the power supply device includes a printed circuit board, a resistor for voltage division and a capacitor for dc blocking. The range of the applied direct current voltage is-800 to +800V, the applied radio frequency RF voltage is-2000 to +2000V, and the frequency is 1kHz to 10 MHz.

When the quadrupole field mode operates, the directions of RF voltages applied to axially adjacent pole pieces in the same metal pole piece group array are the same, the directions of the RF voltages of all adjacent pole pieces in the pole piece group are opposite, and an alternating-current radio-frequency electric field is formed between the pole pieces of the pole piece group; when the mixed field mode operation combining the quadrupole field and the ion funnel electric field is operated, the directions of the RF voltages of the adjacent pole pieces in the same pole piece group and each pole piece group are opposite.
When the power supply connection is as shown in fig. 10, when the device operates in an ion funnel electric field mode, the electric field can be used for enabling ions to be subjected to the action of an alternating-current radio-frequency electric field along the transmission direction to reduce the ion kinetic energy so as to achieve the effect of ion cooling and focusing, and the applied voltage can be optimized aiming at different target ions according to the difference of ion mass-to-charge ratios and collision cross sections, so that the ion transmission efficiency is maximized. When the power supply connection is as shown in fig. 11, the device operates in a quadrupole mode, and can adjust a suitable dc/ac voltage by using a Mathieu equation to achieve an ion screening and focusing effect, so that only target ions can pass through the device as the prior art, which is not described in detail in this embodiment; when the ion-generating device is matched with the gate electrode, the ion can be controlled to rotate in the device, and the ion can collide with gas molecules under proper vacuum conditions, so that the fragmentation effect is achieved. When the power supply is connected as shown in fig. 12, the device operates in a mixed field mode of a quadrupole field and an ion funnel field, and can provide an electric field combining the former two modes to provide better ion cooling focusing effect, so that the ion transmission efficiency is further optimized.

Fig. 13 is a mass spectrogram of a reserpine sample obtained by matching with a mass spectrometer when the focusing and screening device is used for focusing and screening, wherein the visible spectrogram is relatively pure, a reserpine peak with an M/Z of 609 is obviously visible, and interference peak values of the rest parts are relatively low. FIG. 14 is a mass spectrum of a reserpine sample obtained by cooperation with a mass spectrometer when the fragmentation function is performed, and it can be seen that a plurality of reserpine fragment ion peaks are detected in addition to the reserpine peak with an M/Z of 609.

The metal support is provided with a surface insulating material (not shown in the figures) and fixed on the base 31, and the pole pieces of each group of the two groups of metal pole piece group arrays are provided with mounting openings 33 for mounting on the metal support. The metal bracket is provided with an installation mechanism matched with the installation opening in position and size, and the two groups of metal pole piece group arrays are fixed through the installation opening and the installation mechanism.
