[0009] In an embodiment, the system further comprises a power supply, a voltage dividing circuit and an analog-to-digital converter. The power supply is electrically connected to the first GM tube, the second GM tube and the voltage dividing circuit respectively. The voltage dividing circuit is further electrically connected to the analog-to-digital converter. The analog-to-digital converter is further electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer.

The analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the divided voltage into a digital signal and send the digital signal to the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer is configured to determine whether the power supply is normal based on the digital signal. In an embodiment, the determination of whether the power supply is normal based on the digital signal includes: determining the power supply voltage based on the digital signal, determining whether the power supply voltage belongs to a preset voltage range, and determining that the power supply is normal if the power supply voltage belongs to the preset voltage range. If the power supply voltage does not belong to the preset voltage range, it is determined that the power supply is abnormal, and a voltage abnormality signal is sent to the interaction module. In a second aspect, the application provides a double-GM tube fault detection method, which is applied to the double-GM tube fault detection system described in any of the preceding embodiments, and the method includes: In response to a fault detection requirement, the single-chip microcomputer sends a first preset level signal to the anticoincidence circuit within a preset time.

[0020] Example 1 GM (Geiger-Miller counter tube) is a cost-effective and convenient ionizing radiation detection device widely used in medical and health fields, nuclear science research, and other areas. Over time, GM tubes are prone to mica window cracking and leakage, leading to a failure to output GM signals or the output of large amounts of GM signals in a short period. To improve the reliability and stability of measurements, current technology typically uses dual GM tubes for ionizing radiation measurement. However, the dual GM tube structure is symmetrical, and traditional GM fault detection methods cannot distinguish which specific GM tube is malfunctioning. For further information, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This application provides a dual GM transistor fault detection system 100, including: a microcontroller 110, a coincidence circuit 120, and an anti-coincidence circuit 130; the coincidence circuit 120 is electrically connected to a first GM transistor 210, a second GM transistor 220, and the microcontroller 110 respectively; the anti-coincidence circuit 130 is electrically connected to the first GM transistor 210, the second GM transistor 220, and the microcontroller 110 respectively. In response to the fault detection requirement, the microcontroller 110 is used to send a first preset level signal to the anti-concordance circuit 130 within a preset time. The anti-concordance circuit 130 is used to, when receiving the first preset level signal, obtain a first GM signal from the first GM transistor 210 and a second GM signal from the second GM transistor 220; determine whether the first GM transistor 210 is normal based on the first GM signal and whether the second GM transistor 220 is normal based on the second GM signal; if the first GM transistor 210 is normal and the second GM transistor 220 is abnormal, then send a first fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110; if the first GM transistor 210 is abnormal and the second GM transistor 220 is normal, then send a second fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110.

[0021] The matching circuit 120 is used to enter the working mode when it receives the second preset level signal, and read the data of the two GM tubes detecting the gas collection card after the gas collection card is inserted into the measuring chamber. The microcontroller 110 is configured to determine the second GM transistor 220 as an abnormal GM transistor when it receives the first fault detection signal, and to determine the first GM transistor 210 as an abnormal GM transistor when it receives the second fault detection signal.

[0022] In this embodiment, in response to the user's fault detection needs, the microcontroller 110 sends a first preset level signal, such as a high level signal, to the anti-coincidence circuit 130 within a preset time, such as 20 seconds, to control the anti-coincidence circuit 130 to enter the working mode, and the dual GM tube fault detection system 100 enters the fault diagnosis working mode.

[0023] In the fault diagnosis mode, the anti-concordance circuit 130 acquires the first GM signal from the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM signal from the second GM transistor 220. It then determines whether the first GM transistor 210 is functioning correctly based on the first GM signal and whether the second GM transistor 220 is functioning correctly based on the second GM signal. Specifically, this includes: counting the number of first GM signals within a preset time period and determining whether the number of first GM signals falls within a preset threshold range. If it does, the first GM transistor 210 is determined to be functioning correctly; otherwise, it is determined to be malfunctioning. Similarly, it counts the number of second GM signals within the preset time period and determines whether the number of second GM signals falls within a preset threshold range. If it does, the second GM transistor 220 is determined to be functioning correctly; otherwise, it is determined to be malfunctioning.

[0024] When it is determined that the first GM transistor 210 is normal and the second GM transistor 220 is abnormal, the anti-concurrency circuit 130 sends a first fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110. Based on the first fault detection signal, the microcontroller 110 can determine that the first GM transistor 210 is normal and the second GM transistor 220 is abnormal.

[0025] After a preset time, if the microcontroller 110 receives the fourth fault detection signal, it sends a second preset level signal to the coincidence circuit 120, switching the coincidence circuit 120 into its working mode. At this time, the dual GM tube fault detection system 100 no longer performs fault diagnosis; the coincidence circuit 120 checks the gas collecting card after it has been inserted. It should be noted that the fourth fault detection signal is sent to the microcontroller 110 by the anti-coincident circuit 130. Specifically, if the first GM tube 210 and the second GM tube 220 are both normal, the fourth fault detection signal is sent to the microcontroller 110.

[0026] The microcontroller 110 determines the operating status of the first GM tube 210 and the second GM tube 220 based on the received first fault detection signal and second fault detection signal.

[0027] For ease of understanding, Table 1 below shows the fault logic truth table for the anti-coincidence circuit.

[0028] Table 1 Truth Table for Fault Diagnosis of Anti-Concurrent Circuits

[0029] It can be understood that the first, second, third, and fourth fault detection signals output by the anti-coincidence circuit 130 in Table 1 correspond to the digital values ​​1 and 0, 0 and 1, 0 and 0, and 1 and 1 of the square wave of the anti-coincidence output GM tube, respectively.

[0030] It should be noted that the anti-coincidence circuit 130 and the coincidence circuit 120 do not operate simultaneously. Within a preset time period, the microcontroller 110 sends a first preset level signal to the anti-coincidence circuit 130 to start operating, and simultaneously sends a first preset level signal to the coincidence circuit 120 to stop operating. Similarly, the microcontroller 110 sends a second preset level signal to the coincidence circuit 120 to start operating, and simultaneously sends a second preset level signal to the anti-coincidence circuit 130 to stop operating.

[0031] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The dual GM tube fault detection system 100 further includes: an in-situ sensor 140, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 110; the in-situ sensor 140 is used to send a missing detection signal to the microcontroller 110 when the gas collection card is not in place; the microcontroller 110 is also used to send a first preset level signal to the anti-congruence circuit 130 within a preset time after receiving the missing detection signal.

[0032] In this embodiment, the in-situ sensor 140 uses a non-contact detection method to sense in real time whether the gas collection card is in the correct installation position. When it is confirmed that the gas collection card is not in place, it outputs a missing detection signal to the microcontroller 110. The microcontroller 110 will only start sending a first preset level signal to the anti-congruence circuit 130 after receiving the missing detection signal, triggering the anti-congruence circuit 130 to start collecting the signals of the first GM tube 210 and the second GM tube 220 to perform fault detection.

[0033] It is understandable that by using the pre-detection of the in-situ sensor 140, fault diagnosis can be performed first after the dual GM tubes are powered on, and the fault can be displayed immediately, which further enhances the reliability and practicality of the dual GM tube fault detection system 100.

[0034] In one embodiment, the anti-concordance circuit 130 is further configured to send a third fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110 if the first GM transistor 210 is faulty and the second GM transistor 220 is faulty; the microcontroller 110 is further configured to, upon receiving the third fault detection signal, determine the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM transistor 220 as faulty GM transistors respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Table 1 again. After acquiring the signals of the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM transistor 220, the anti-concordance circuit 130 will independently determine the working state of the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM transistor 220. When it is detected that both the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM transistor 220 meet the abnormal characteristics, it will output a third fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110.

[0036] In one embodiment, the anti-concordance circuit 130 is further configured to send a fourth fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110 if the first GM transistor 210 is normal and the second GM transistor 220 is normal; the microcontroller 110 is further configured to determine the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM transistor 220 as normal GM transistors when the fourth fault detection signal is received. The microcontroller 110 is also used to send the second preset level signal to the comparator circuit 120 if the fourth fault detection signal is received after the preset time has elapsed.

[0037] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 3The dual GM tube fault detection system 100 further includes: an interaction module 150, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 110; the microcontroller 110 is also used to issue a warning signal when it is determined that the first GM tube 210 is abnormal and / or the second GM tube 220 is abnormal; the interaction module 150 is used to determine and display warning information based on the warning signal, the warning information including: the identification information and location information of the abnormal GM tube.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the microcontroller 110 determines that the first GM transistor 210 and / or the second GM transistor 220 are abnormal through the dual detection signals of the coincidence circuit 120 and the anti-coincidence circuit 130, it sends a warning signal to the interaction module 150. After receiving the warning signal, the interaction module 150 generates clear warning information. The warning information includes identification information to correspond to the number of the abnormal GM transistor, and location information associated with the physical installation interface and connection line identification of the abnormal GM transistor. This information is presented intuitively through a visual method (display pop-up window, host computer pop-up window, etc.). Furthermore, the microcontroller 110 can also send a warning signal to a remote terminal through a 4G gateway. The remote terminal determines and displays the warning information based on the warning signal.

[0039] Its advantage lies in the fact that the location of the fault can be determined without the need for on-site operation by technical personnel, ensuring that the fault of the abnormal GM tube can be responded to and handled in a timely manner.

[0040] In one embodiment, the dual GM transistor fault detection system 100 further includes: a power supply, a voltage divider circuit, and an analog-to-digital converter; the power supply is electrically connected to the first GM transistor 210, the second GM transistor 220, and the voltage divider circuit respectively; the voltage divider circuit is also electrically connected to the analog-to-digital converter; the analog-to-digital converter is also electrically connected to the microcontroller 110; The power supply is used to supply power to the first GM tube 210 and the second GM tube 220; The voltage divider circuit is used to obtain the supply voltage from the power supply, divide the supply voltage, and output the divided voltage to the analog-to-digital converter. The analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the voltage divider into a digital signal and send it to the microcontroller 110; The microcontroller 110 is used to determine whether the power supply is normal based on the digital signal.

[0041] In this embodiment, the power supply serves as the operating power source for the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM transistor 220, and is also electrically connected to a voltage divider circuit. The high-voltage DC output from the power supply is stepped down by the voltage divider circuit and converted into a divided voltage. The voltage divider circuit is electrically connected to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), transmitting the analog divided voltage to the ADC, which then converts the analog signal to a digital signal and sends it to the microcontroller 110. After receiving the digital signal, the microcontroller 110 calculates the actual output voltage of the power supply based on a preset voltage division ratio. By determining whether this voltage falls within the preset voltage range required for the normal operation of the GM transistors, the microcontroller determines whether the power supply is functioning correctly.

[0042] Its beneficial effects are that it enables automated and non-intrusive detection of power supply status, reducing the manpower and time costs of troubleshooting; at the same time, by monitoring the power supply voltage, it can effectively distinguish between GM tube signal abnormalities caused by power supply abnormalities and GM tube failures themselves, avoiding misjudging power supply problems as GM tube failures and significantly improving the accuracy of the entire fault diagnosis.

[0043] In one embodiment, determining whether the power supply is normal based on the digital signal includes: determining the power supply voltage based on the digital signal; determining whether the power supply voltage falls within a preset voltage range; if it does, determining that the power supply is normal; if it does not, determining that the power supply is abnormal and sending a voltage abnormality signal to the interaction module 150. In this embodiment, after receiving the digital signal transmitted by the analog-to-digital converter, the microcontroller 110 reversely calculates the actual output voltage of the power supply based on the preset fixed voltage division ratio of the voltage divider circuit, such as 1:250. Then, it compares the actual power supply voltage with the preset voltage range required for the normal operation of the GM tube. If the actual power supply voltage falls within the range, the power supply is determined to be working normally; if it exceeds the range, the power supply is determined to be abnormal, and a voltage abnormality signal including voltage abnormality information is immediately sent to the interaction module 150.

[0044] Its beneficial effect is that it enables automated judgment of the power supply status, effectively distinguishing between power supply abnormalities and GM tube malfunctions.

[0045] The dual GM transistor fault detection system 100 provided in this application embodiment includes: a microcontroller 110, a coincidence circuit 120, and an anti-coincidence circuit 130; the coincidence circuit 120 is electrically connected to a first GM transistor 210, a second GM transistor 220, and the microcontroller 110 respectively; the anti-coincidence circuit 130 is electrically connected to the first GM transistor 210, the second GM transistor 220, and the microcontroller 110 respectively; in response to a fault detection requirement, the microcontroller 110 is used to send a first preset level signal to the anti-coincidence circuit 130 within a preset time; the anti-coincidence circuit 130 is used to, when receiving the first preset level signal, obtain a first GM signal from the first GM transistor 210 and a second GM signal from the second GM transistor 220; and determine the first GM signal based on the first GM signal. The GM tube 210 is checked for proper function, and the second GM tube 220 is checked for proper function based on the second GM signal. If both the first GM tube 210 and the second GM tube 220 are normal, a first fault detection signal is sent to the microcontroller 110. If the first GM tube 210 is abnormal but the second GM tube 220 is normal, a second fault detection signal is sent to the microcontroller 110. The matching circuit 120 is used to enter the working mode when it receives a second preset level signal, and read the data of the two GM tubes to detect the gas collection card after the gas collection card is inserted into the measuring chamber. The microcontroller 110 is used to determine the second GM tube 220 as an abnormal GM tube when it receives the first fault detection signal, and to determine the first GM tube 210 as an abnormal GM tube when it receives the second fault detection signal. This application realizes automated diagnosis and rapid location of dual GM tube faults, and can complete the detection without manual disassembly, improving the efficiency of fault diagnosis and reducing labor costs.

[0046] Example 2 In addition, please see Figure 4 This application also provides a dual GM tube fault detection method, applied to the dual GM tube fault detection system 100 described in Embodiment 1, the method including steps S410~S450.

[0047] In step S410, in response to the fault detection requirement, the microcontroller 110 sends a first preset level signal to the anti-contrast circuit 130 within a preset time.

[0048] In step S420, when the first preset level signal is received, the anti-concurrent circuit 130 obtains the first GM signal from the first GM transistor 210 and the second GM signal from the second GM transistor 220; it determines whether the first GM transistor 210 is normal based on the first GM signal and whether the second GM transistor 220 is normal based on the second GM signal; if the first GM transistor 210 is normal and the second GM transistor 220 is abnormal, it sends a first fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110; if the first GM transistor 210 is abnormal and the second GM transistor 220 is normal, it sends a second fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110. Step S430: When the first fault detection signal is received, the microcontroller 110 determines the second GM transistor 220 as an abnormal GM transistor; when the second fault detection signal is received, the microcontroller 110 determines the first GM transistor 210 as an abnormal GM transistor. In step S440, when the second preset level signal is received, the coincidence circuit 120 enters the working mode. After the gas collection card is inserted into the measuring chamber, the data of the gas collection card detected by the two GM tubes is read.

[0049] The dual GM tube fault detection method provided in this application embodiment is applied to the dual GM tube fault detection system 100 provided in Embodiment 1 above. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

The memory 503 stores a computer program, and the computer program executes the dual GM tube fault detection method provided in Embodiment 2 when it runs on the processor 502.

[0051] For details, please see Figure 5The electronic device 500 includes a transceiver 501, a bus interface, and a processor 502. The processor 502 is used to respond to fault detection requirements. The microcontroller 110 is used to send a first preset level signal to the anti-concordance circuit 130 within a preset time. The anti-concordance circuit 130 is used to, when receiving the first preset level signal, obtain a first GM signal from the first GM transistor 210 and a second GM signal from the second GM transistor 220; determine whether the first GM transistor 210 is normal based on the first GM signal, and determine whether the second GM transistor 220 is normal based on the second GM signal; if the first GM transistor 210 is normal and the second GM transistor 220 is abnormal, then send a first fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110; if the first GM transistor 210 is abnormal and the second GM transistor 220 is normal, then send a second fault detection signal to the microcontroller 110.
