The present disclosure discloses a corona discharge assembly, an ion mobility spectrometer and a corona discharge method. The corona discharge assembly includes at least one corona discharge unit, wherein, the corona discharge unit includes a pair of corona metal wires arranged in parallel, and pulses having the same amplitude but opposite polarities are applied to the corona metal wires arranged in parallel, respectively. The present disclosure can generate more reactive ions than corona needles or tips, facilitate improving sensitivity of the ion mobility spectrometer, and effectively prolong service life of a corona source to 3-10 years.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an air dryer for an ion mobility spectrometer, comprising a heating element used to heat a thermal conduction device, thereby heating the desiccant. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a regeneration method, by which the operation mode of the ion mobility spectrometer may be switched, so that during a non-working time of the ion mobility spectrometer, the desiccant is heated and thereby regenerated. With the present invention, the desiccant is avoided from being regularly replaced, thereby improving the performance and increasing the service life of the dryer. Regeneration of the desiccant is performed by making full use of the non-working time of the ion mobility spectrometer without affecting normal operation of instrument.

The present disclosure discloses a continuous operable gas purification device in an ion mobility spectrometer including a housing provided with a cylinder cavity; a dry gas supply unit; a rotating barrier arranged in a radial direction of the cylinder cavity to divide it into a baking cavity and a working cavity; and a rotating mechanism. The housing is provided with a dry gas inlet and a dry gas outlet, which are communicated with the baking cavity, and a sample gas inlet and a sample gas outlet, which are communicated with the working cavity. The dry gas supply unit is connected with the dry gas inlet for a dry gas supply to the dry gas inlet. The baking cavity is provided with a heating unit correspondingly. The rotating mechanism is provided at a central position of the cylinder cavity and connected with the rotating barrier for rotating it at intervals.

An electrode structure for an ion drift tube and an ion drift tube with the electrode structure are disclosed. The electrode structure comprises an annular electrode. The annular electrode has an inner edge bent towards one side such that a section of a central portion of the annular electrode has a swallowtail shape. With the ion drift detection instrument, ions in a drift state can travel along focusing electric lines of force, and since the high-voltage intervals between the electrodes are increased at a uniform acceleration, the generated electric field enables the ions to be in a uniformly accelerated drift state so that both the sensitivity and resolution of the mobility spectrum of the detection instrument can reach optimum.
