[0014] Furthermore, the vacuum box is connected to a negative pressure component outside the vacuum box through a gate valve.

[0015] Furthermore, the negative pressure component uses a molecular pump to evacuate the vacuum box into a vacuum state during the isotope collection stage.

[0016] Furthermore, the frame of the receiving pocket is a sandwich structure, and a cooling medium flows through the sandwich structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the front panel and the graphene window of the receiving pocket are both tilted, and the inclination angles of the front panel and the graphene window to the horizontal plane are both 30-60°.

[0034] (4) The graphene window of the present invention allows the energetic ion beam to pass through, preventing the residual gas from freely diffusing. The state of isotopes remains unchanged when they are collected or not collected, and there is no need for complex opening and closing regulation in different collection stages.

[0035] (5) The present invention can realize the continuous collection of isotope inert gas by the isotope receiving device through the vacuum displacement platform, the gas pipeline and the gas collection component, without the need to interrupt the extraction after the collection accumulates for a period of time.

[0036] (6) The interlayer structure of the present invention has a cooling medium inside, and can be cooled by water during the isotope collection and extraction stage. Compared with the ordinary applied cooling water pipe, it has a significant cooling effect and can effectively reduce the influence of the thermal effect generated by ion bombardment on isotope collection.

The vacuum box 1 of this embodiment is connected to the vacuum displacement platform 5 through a gate valve, and the vacuum displacement platform 5 is sealed and connected to the receiving pocket 2 through a fastener. The part of the vacuum displacement platform 5 extending out of the vacuum box 1 is also sleeved with a vacuum sealing bellows 52 to improve the vacuum sealing performance of the entire receiving device.

[0068] The vacuum displacement platform 5 is a columnar structure, and an air path pipe 51 connected to the inner cavity of the receiving pocket 2 is axially arranged in the vacuum displacement platform 5. One end of the air path pipe 51 is connected to the inner cavity of the receiving pocket 2, and the other end is connected to the gas collection device. The neutralized inert gas is output from the isotope receiving device along the air path pipe 51 and is received by the gas collection component 8.

The incident slit 3 can pass the incident 85 Kr ion beam, receiving pocket 2 can receive the Kr ion beam passing through the incident slit 3. 85 The receiving pocket 2 is also connected to a driving assembly 6 that can move the receiving pocket 2 forward and backward along the incident direction of the ion beam, which includes a connecting rod 61 that is inserted into the vacuum displacement platform 5 and connected to the receiving pocket 2, and a stepper motor connected to the connecting rod 61. The synchronous horizontal movement of the receiving pocket 2 and the vacuum displacement platform 5 is achieved by remotely controlling the stepper motor.

[0072] One side of the vacuum box 1 is connected to the separation magnet vacuum pipeline through a gate valve, and the other side is connected to the vacuum displacement platform 5 through a gate valve.

The material of the vacuum box 1 is 316 stainless steel, with a wall thickness of 5mm, a width of 400mm, a height of 250mm, and a length of 1000mm.

[0073] because 85 The Kr ion beam is weak and has a small beam cross section, so a smaller entrance slit 3 is beneficial to improving the isotope abundance. 85 After the Kr ion beam is incident from the incident slit 3, it is deposited inside the receiving pocket 2 through the process of ion implantation and ion sputtering. In this embodiment, the size of the incident slit 3 is 5 mm in width, 100 mm in length, and the inclination angle with the horizontal plane is 30°.

[0074] The receiving pocket 2 and the vacuum box 1 of this embodiment do not contact each other and are separated by a vacuum environment.

The height of the receiving pocket 2 is about 120 mm, the front-to-back length (beam incident direction) is about 200 mm, and the width is about 200 mm.

[0075] The incident slit 3 of this embodiment is also covered with a graphene window 4, which can block the diffusion of neutral atomic molecules and make more neutralized atoms and molecules diffuse. 85 Kr stays in the receiving pocket 2 and can penetrate more 85 K+ In this embodiment, a baffle 7 is installed on the outer side of the front panel 21 . The baffle 7 is a 2 mm thick metal molybdenum plate. The baffle 7 is used to block the bombardment and sputtering of other isotope ions of Kr on the front panel 21 of the receiving pocket 2 .

The vacuum displacement platform 5 integrates a vacuum introduction part, and cooling water and the like enter the vacuum system through the introduction part. The receiving pocket 2 of this embodiment is made of stainless steel or pure copper, and the receiving pocket 2 is a sandwich structure, and cooling water is passed through the sandwich, and water cooling is passed during the isotope collection and extraction stage.

[0077] In summary, 85 The Kr isotope ion beam is deflected and separated by the separation magnet and then received by the isotope receiving device. By adjusting the position of the vacuum displacement platform 5 and the receiving pocket 2 horizontally, the deflected Kr isotope ion beam is 85 The Kr ion beam enters the entrance slit 3 and is collected. 85 After the Kr ion beam is incident on the receiving pocket 2, it is neutralized on the metal wall of the receiving pocket 2 and becomes 85 Kr gas, the graphene window 4 on the incident slit 3 can block the neutralized 85 Kr gas escapes. Then a molecular pump is used to collect the 85 The Kr gas is pumped into a designated gas collection container through the gas pipeline 51 of the vacuum displacement platform 5 .
