Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a sampling device, in particular to an aerosol sample sampling device capable of realizing automatic sampling. Background Art

[0002] Aerosol sampling and analysis technology is widely used in the fields of medicine, energy, environment and nuclear technology. Aerosol samples are an important category of sampling samples, and its sampling technology has made great progress. By sampling and analyzing samples from different locations in radioactive contaminated areas, information such as the distribution and source of nuclides in the contaminated area can be obtained. Therefore, the relevant sampling or sampling technology is one of the most critical technologies and is worthy of research and development.

[0003] In 1998, the Institute of Inorganic Applied Chemistry at the University of Hamburg, Germany, developed the AUTOSCAN system (Automated Sampling and Chemical Analyzing of Atmospheric Parameters) to study the elemental composition exported from the shore to the sea near the coastline. The system includes an automated aerosol sampling system (S. Tamm, M. Schulz. Automated Aerosol Sampling aboard a North Sea Ferry. J. Aerosol Sci. Vol. 30, Suppl. 1, pp. S189-S190, 1999). The system uses 5 pre-installed filter units, and uses remote control mode to start and shut down the filter units to achieve aerosol sampling at different locations on the coastline. This technology only uses an electric switch to achieve automatic sampling control of the pre-installed filter units. The filter units are relatively complete equipment, and the entire device is relatively large after integration, which limits the number of samples.

[0004] In 1997, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of the United States established an automatic radionuclide aerosol sampler and analyzer system RASA (Radionuclide Aerosol Sampler / Analyzer) to meet the requirements of the CTBT Treaty on radioactive monitoring of aerosols in the air. The system integrates a set of radionuclide aerosol sampler devices (SM Bowyer et al., Automated Particulate Sampler For Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Verification. IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE, VOL. 44, NO. 3, JUNE 1997), see Figure 1The device uses 6 pieces of 10cm×40cm strip filter material 02, which are provided by the filter material supply point 01 and vertically loaded on the filter material loading rack 03. After the aerosol is filtered, the 6 pieces of strip filter material 02 are simultaneously pulled by the driving extrusion roller 06 and squeezed and packaged together when passing through the filter material packaging extrusion roller 04, and then transmitted along the driving transmission line 05 to the detector 07 for measurement. The aerosol automatic sampling device is mainly used for background samples with extremely low sample volume, and has two disadvantages:

[0005] (1) The six strip filter materials 02 are distributed in a fan shape, and the airflow is uneven when passing through, which will lead to uneven distribution of aerosol on the strip filter material 02;

[0006] (2) The transmission distance of the strip filter material 02 before packaging is long, and the area of ​​the strip filter material 02 is large. During the traction process, the strip filter material 02 will lose part of the filtered aerosol due to shaking or contact with other components, which increases the uncertainty of the measurement.

[0007] In 2013, Li Huibin designed a device for automatic sampling and monitoring of plutonium aerosols in his doctoral dissertation. The device uses a reel to load a continuous filter paper roll as the filter material, and uses a motor to control another reel, which in turn controls the movement of the reel to achieve the purpose of filter material replacement and measurement. The device does not have a filter material packaging function, and does not require high safety for the sample, and is only suitable for sampling ambient atmospheric aerosols (Li Huibin, Research on continuous monitoring technology and equipment development of plutonium aerosols in high radon environments, doctoral dissertation in nuclear science and technology, Tsinghua University, 2013).

[0008] The Chinese patent with the invention name "A radioactive aerosol real-time sampling device", the authorization announcement number "CN 209961746U", and the authorization announcement date "2020.01.17", discloses a sampling device with a filter material replacement mode that is basically consistent with the above literature. The Chinese patent with the invention name "An aerosol sampler", the authorization announcement number "CN 209372645 U", and the authorization announcement date "2019.09.10", discloses a sampler that only uses a single-channel filtering structure and is only suitable for the collection of a single sample. It requires manual replacement of the filter material unit to complete multiple samplings. The key point is that its structure is still fixed.

[0009] All of the above aerosol sampling devices adopt the mode of natural environment sampling and do not actively generate aerosols.

[0010] The survey of radioactive contaminated areas requires remote control to obtain samples at different locations, which requires not only that the aerosol sampling device can automatically complete the sampling and packaging of multiple samples, but also that the material on the surface of the object or the ground at the target location be formed into aerosols and sampled at a specific location. Currently, there is no technology or device that meets the above technical requirements. Summary of the invention

[0011] The object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol sample sampling device that can realize automatic sampling, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing sampling devices cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of automatically completing the sampling and packaging of multiple samples and forming aerosols for sampling and use of dust materials on the surface of an object or on the ground at a target location at a specific location.

[0016] Four through holes of equal size are vertically arranged on the disk surface of the turntable, and the four through holes are evenly arranged along the circumference with the output shaft of the turntable drive motor as the center; the radial dimensions of the four through holes are adapted to the radial dimensions of the closed filter material unit;

[0017] On the front end surface of the front protective cover, there are vertically arranged filter material unit loading holes, online filtering holes, filter material blocking holes and filter material unloading holes which are coaxial with the four through holes and arranged in sequence in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction;

[0018] The filter material storage tube, the filter material plug storage tube and the filter material recovery tube are all arranged on the front side of the turntable unit, and the three are respectively coaxially arranged with the filter material unit loading hole, the filter material plugging hole and the filter material unloading hole, and the three are fixedly connected to the front protective cover;

[0019] The filter material drive motor and the plug drive motor are respectively arranged in the inner cavity of the filter material storage tube and the filter material plug storage tube or at one end thereof away from the turntable unit;

[0020] The filter material recovery motor is installed on the rear protective cover, and its output shaft vertically passes through the rear end surface of the rear protective cover, points to the filter material unloading hole and is coaxial with it;

[0021] The gas circuit unit comprises a guide cover, a first air inlet pipe, an outer sealing head, an inner sealing head, a second air inlet pipe, an air pump, an air outlet pipe and a conical air jet;

[0022] The front end of the first air inlet pipe is connected to the air guide cover, and the rear end is connected to the front protective cover through an external sealing head and is coaxial with the online filter hole; the front end of the second air inlet pipe is connected to the rear protective cover through an internal sealing head, and the rear end is connected to the air inlet of the air pump; the internal sealing head and the external sealing head are coaxially arranged; the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the conical air jet through an air outlet pipe;

[0023] The plurality of filter material units are sequentially arranged in the filter material storage tube, and one end of the filter material unit cooperates with the filter material plug and points forward; the filter material unit can move toward one side of the turntable under the driving of the filter material driving motor;

[0024] The height dimension of the filter material unit is greater than the thickness dimension of the rotating disk and is adapted to the distance between the outer sealing head and the inner sealing head;

[0025] The plurality of filter material plugs are sequentially arranged in the filter material plug storage tube, and one end of the filter material plug cooperates with the filter material unit and points backward; the filter material plug can move toward one side of the turntable under the driving of the plug driving motor;

[0026] The filter material recovery motor can push the closed filter material unit to move into the filter material recovery pipe.

[0027] Furthermore, the filter material unit includes a filter material base, a filter material support net, a filter material and a filter material pressing ring;
