The present invention relates to the field of particle test instrument technologies, and more particularly, to a laser particle size analyzer with a liquid sheath flow measuring cell.
A laser particle size analyzer measures a particle size and distribution of particles by using a scattering (diffraction) phenomenon of particles to light, and during measuring, the measured particles should be dispersed in a liquid medium or a gas medium. Specifically.
Thus, it can be seen that, when the measured particles flow between the two pieces of glass 1 and glass 2 in the measuring cell, some fine or sticky particles may stick to inner walls of the glass 1 and the glass 2. Moreover, with increase of measuring times, more and more particles may stick to the inner walls of the glass 1 and the glass 2, so as to affect normal measurement. Therefore, at present, a wet measuring cell must be designed into a detachable and washable structure, and the inner walls of the glass 1 and the glass 2 should often be cleaned after testing for many times, with troublesome and time-consuming operation. In addition, the glass 1 and the glass 2 are remounted and reset after disassembly and cleaning, which may cause maladjustment of a whole optical system. Therefore, it is necessary to readjust the optical system again before re-measurement, which is extremely inconvenient to use and even shortens a service life of the measuring cell.
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a laser particle size analyzer with a liquid sheath flow measuring cell, which solves technical problems of inconvenient operation caused by disassembly and cleaning of measuring glass of a measuring cell and maladjustment of an optical system after reset in the prior art, avoids the measuring cell from being polluted during measurement, and achieves technical effects of long service life, simple operation and good use effect of the measuring cell.

The measuring cell comprises a particle flow leading-in cavity 3000, a medium flow leading-in cavity 1000 and a measuring glass cavity 2000, wherein the medium flow leading-in cavity 1000 is connected to an upper portion of the measuring glass cavity 2000. The medium flow leading-in cavity 1000 is annularly arranged at a periphery of the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000, and a gap is formed between the medium flow leading-in cavity 1000 and the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000. A medium flow 70 flows into the measuring glass cavity 2000 from the gap, and a particle flow 60 flows into the measuring glass cavity 2000 from the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000.
For the laser particle size analyzer with the liquid sheath flow measuring cell above, the particle flow 60 flows into the measuring glass cavity 2000 from the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000. Since the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000 penetrates into the medium flow leading-in cavity 1000, while the particle flow 60 passes through the measuring glass cavity 2000, the medium flow 70 flows into the measuring glass cavity 2000 from the gap 607, a speed of the medium flow 70 is greater than that of the particle flow 60, and the medium flow 70 may form a sheath flow around the particle flow 60 with a uniform flow rate, which may ensure that the particle flow 60 may not touch an inner wall surface of the measuring glass cavity 2000 during flowing and measurement, so as to keep the measuring glass cavity clean without disassembly and cleaning, and that is to say, during the process that the particle flow 60 passes through the measuring glass cavity 2000, two sides (periphery) are always wrapped by the clean medium flow 70, just like a knife wrapped by a sheath, so as to achieve an effect of protecting the measuring glass cavity 2000 from being polluted.
In order to make the particle flow 60 better surrounded by the medium flow 70, the outlet of the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000 in the embodiment is inclined downwardly and narrowed relative to the particle flow leading-in cavity 3000, which further ensures that the particle flow 60 may not touch the inner wall surface of the measuring glass cavity 2000 during flowing and measurement.
In addition, after finishing the measurement, the particle flow 60 and the medium flow 70 above form a mixed flow. In order to facilitate discharge of the mixed flow, the measuring cell in the embodiment further comprises the discharge pipe, and the outlet of the measuring glass cavity 2000 is communicated with the discharge pipe. A structural form of the discharge pipe is not particularly limited, for example, the discharge pipe may be a funnel pipe or a circular pipe, preferably a hose, which facilitates adjustment of a discharge direction.

In order to make the particle flow 60 better surrounded by the medium flow 70, the outlet 32 of the particle flow leading-in cavity 30 in the embodiment is inclined downwardly and narrowed relative to the particle flow leading-in cavity 30, which further ensures that the particle flow 60 may not touch the inner wall surface of the measuring glass cavity 20 during flowing and measurement.
In addition, in the embodiment, preferably, an inner diameter of the measuring glass cavity 20 is equal to an inner diameter of the medium flow leading-in cavity 10, so that the medium flow 70 smoothly flows into the measuring glass cavity 20 from the medium flow leading-in cavity 10, and it is convenient for the medium flow 70 to form a sheath flow around the particle flow 60 with a uniform flow rate, which further ensures that the particle flow 60 may not touch the inner wall surface of the measuring glass cavity 20 during flowing and measurement, so as to keep the measuring glass cavity clean without disassembly and cleaning.
