Background Art
[0002] The Gamma Knife is a device that uses gamma beams from a cobalt-60 radioactive source to treat malignant tumors and benign lesions. Loading and replacing the radioactive source is essential during the use of the Gamma Knife. Traditional source replacement methods rely on manual operation, requiring operators to work for long periods of time in a high-radiation environment near the source. This not only poses a health risk to the operator but also increases operating costs for the company.
[0003] The existing source reversal method usually involves building a hot room outside the gamma knife equipment or using a source reversal tool for manual source reversal. This method has the following drawbacks: 1) High radiation risk for operators: Operators need to work for a long time in a high-radiation environment near the radiation source and are susceptible to radiation damage from gamma rays. 2) Low operating efficiency: Manual source reversal operations rely on the proficiency of the operator. Improper operation may lead to source reversal failure and prolong the operation time. 3) High cost: In order to ensure that the radiation dose of operators does not exceed the standard, companies need to allocate more operators for rotation operations, which increases labor costs.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically complete the transfer and reversal of radioactive sources to reduce the radiation exposure of operators, improve operational efficiency, and reduce enterprise costs. Summary of the Invention

The S2-axis main drive motor and the S2-axis auxiliary drive motor are respectively engaged with the right transmission rack through two reducers and a pinion connected to the end of the reducer. The S-axis electrical switch includes two S-axis main electrical switches on the left and two S-axis auxiliary electrical switches on the right. The two electrical switches are respectively located at the extreme positions of the linear motion range of their corresponding shielding sliders.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting flange is in the shape of a hollow cylindrical stepped shaft, including a mounting cylindrical surface and a lower cylindrical surface. The mounting cylindrical surface is arranged above the lower cylindrical surface, and a step is arranged around the upper end of the mounting cylindrical surface. Both the mounting cylindrical surface and the lower cylindrical surface have hollow cylindrical inner cavities, and the axes of the two hollow cylindrical inner cavities coincide.
[0009] Furthermore, the gamma knife radiation source transfer tank also includes a docking flange, which is arranged at the bottom of the shielding tank body. The docking flange is hollow cylindrical and can accommodate the shielding rod to pass vertically.
[0010] Furthermore, a second guide groove is provided on the upper surface of the docking flange, which is consistent with the direction of the first guide groove. The first guide groove and the second guide groove together constitute a horizontal sliding channel for the left shielding slider and the right shielding slider, and the axis of the hollow inner cylindrical surface of the docking flange coincides with the axis of the outer cylindrical surface of the docking flange.
[0011] Furthermore, an electrical switch is provided on the outer side of the lower cylindrical surface.
[0012] Furthermore, the shielding tank, the left shielding slider and the right shielding slider are all made of radiation shielding materials.
[0013] The present invention provides a gamma knife radioactive source transport and inversion tank, wherein a cylindrical inner cavity is provided inside the shielding tank body, the outline of which is consistent with the shielding rod loaded with the radioactive source, and the shielding rod can be accommodated in the cavity and vertically raised and lowered along the inner cavity channel; a guide groove is provided below the shielding tank body, which can accommodate the horizontal linear movement of the left shielding slider and the right shielding slider in the groove; the tank body is made of radiation shielding material and is provided with a sufficient screen wall thickness to ensure that after the inner cavity accommodates the shielding rod containing the radioactive source, the released radiation can be reduced to a certain safety range after being shielded by the shielding rod. The mounting flange is set to be a hollow cylindrical stepped shaft shape, and the axes of the outer cylindrical step surface of the mounting flange, the hollow inner hole and the cylindrical inner cavity of the shielding tank body coincide with each other; among them, the outer cylindrical step surface is used for the external mounting interface of the transfer device to realize the transfer of the source tank at different workstations; the step at its upper end is used for the support of the entire transfer source tank, and the hollow inner cavity at the upper end is used for the mounting channel of the internal mounting interface of the transfer device to realize the end execution component of the transfer device to take out and pour in the shielding rod loaded with the radioactive source; the inside of the lower end cylindrical surface is also a hollow cylindrical cavity, and its axis coincides with the cylindrical inner cavity inside the shielding tank body, and the two together form the storage and vertical movement space of the shielding rod. The connecting flange is designed as a hollow cylindrical shape, with a guide groove on its upper surface aligned with the guide groove below the shielding tank, forming a horizontal sliding channel for the left and right shielding sliders. The outer cylindrical surface coincides with the axis of the gamma knife device's inverted source cylindrical channel, allowing for docking and positioning with the gamma knife device's inverted source port. The hollow inner cylindrical surface coincides with the axis of the outer cylindrical surface, forming an internal inverted source channel. The left and right shielding sliders are positioned below the shielding tank and above the connecting flange. They can slide horizontally relative to each other within the grooved space between the shielding tank and the connecting flange. The central axis of the horizontal movement intersects perpendicularly with the vertical inner axis of the shielding tank. The inverted source channel below the tank is opened and closed by the two sliders moving away from and toward each other. The width of both sliders is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the inverted source channel, ensuring shielding of the radioactive source below the shielding rod when the channel is closed. The transfer source tank can be used in combination with a special automatic source dumping device or an industrial robot or other transfer device. After the source tank is mounted on it, it can be coordinated with the movement of the external device to realize the automatic transfer and dumping of the radioactive source between different workstations in the shielded machine room. The electrical components of each motion axis of the transfer source tank adopt a redundant design. When the main control component fails, the sub-control component automatically takes over the relevant control tasks, and the two components are independent of each other and redundant. The source tank is equipped with a manual pull rod, which can be used for emergency operation when the automatic control system fails. The reasonable connecting rod structure design and the appropriate pressure angle ensure that the manual operation is easy and smooth. The left and right shielding sliders are made of radiation shielding materials, and the facing surfaces adopt an asymmetric step surface structure to ensure that when the channel is closed, there is always a certain thickness of shielding material directly below the radiation source for shielding protection, avoiding the sliders from not fitting tightly and causing gaps, thereby causing radiation to be emitted directly from directly below.Therefore, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0014] 1) High safety: The source tank provided by the present invention uses radiation shielding materials to effectively shield the gamma rays released by the radioactive source, ensuring a safe operating environment. The shielding slider design prevents accidental exposure of the radioactive source during transportation, further improving operational safety.

Shielding tank 1151 is constructed of radiation-shielding material and has a sufficient wall thickness to ensure that, after the shielding rod 102, containing the radioactive source, is housed within the cavity, the radiation released is shielded and reduced to a safe level. Below shielding tank 1151, first guide grooves 1151.2 are located on either side of the bottom of cylindrical interior 1151.1, accommodating the horizontal and linear movement of left and right shielding sliders 1156 and 1157 within these grooves.

The axes of the outer cylindrical stepped surface of step 1152.4 of mounting flange 1152, the hollow cylindrical inner cavity 1152.2, and the cylindrical inner cavity 1151.1 of shielding can 1151 coincide.

The Gamma Knife radioactive source transport tank 110 drives the lifting joint below the synchronous belt 1139 to rise, automatically lifting the radioactive source shielding rod 102 into the inner cavity channel of the drain tank 115. After triggering the electrical switch 1272, the lifting stops. At the same time, the left shielding slide 1156 and the right shielding slide 1157 below the drain tank 115 automatically close, closing the drain channel.

Figure 9 shown.
[0057] Unload the sling, slowly lower the synchronous belt 1139 at the end of the industrial robot 140, and connect the lifting joint at its end to the threaded hole at the top of the radiation source shielding rod 102 in the inner cavity of the source transport tank 101; the mounting bracket 1122 at the end of the industrial robot 140 automatically mounts the mounting flange 1152 on the top of the source inversion tank 115 to complete the source inversion preparation.
[0058] After checking that everything is normal, the operator leaves the scene and begins draining the source. Industrial robot 140 drives the lifting joint below synchronous belt 1139 to raise, automatically lifting radiation source shielding rod 102 into the inner cavity of drain tank 115. Triggering electrical switch 1272 stops the lifting process. Simultaneously, left and right shielding slides 1156 and 1157 below drain tank 115 automatically close, closing the drain channel.

Figure 10 shown.
