[0074] In this embodiment, the radioactive exhaust gas filter is suspended on the building surface.

[0075] In this embodiment, the radioactive exhaust gas filter also includes a support assembly and a connecting rod 24. The support assembly is disposed inside the housing 5 and includes an upper end cover 20, a lower end cover 21, and a support rod 23. The two ends of the support rod 23 are respectively connected to the upper end cover 20 and the lower end cover 21 to enhance the strength of the radioactive exhaust gas filter.

[0076] In addition, the two ends of the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 are fixedly connected to the upper end cover 20 and the lower end cover 21, respectively, and the connection between the filter layer 17 of the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 and the upper end cover 20 and the lower end cover 21 is fixed with adhesive-free fixation to prevent the filter layer 13 from detaching from the upper end cover 20 and the lower end cover 21.

[0080] Preferably, a protective cover is also provided outside the lower end cover 21, and the lower end cover 21 and the protective cover are connected by a sealing assembly.

[0081] In this embodiment, the protective cover is disposed outside the lower end cover 21 and covers the outside of the first threaded structure, which can prevent the gas in the filter element from leaking through the gap between the first threaded structure and the support rod 23 or the lower end cover 21.

[0082] In this embodiment, the sealing assembly includes a sealing gasket 22 and a second threaded structure, which is used to connect the lower end cap 21 to the protective cap.

[0083] The sealing gasket 22 is disposed between the lower end cover 21 and the protective cover, and the sealing gasket 22 is wrapped around the second threaded structure to prevent gas from leaking from the gap between the second threaded structure and the lower end cover 21 and the protective cover.

[0084] Preferably, the sealing gasket 22 is lip-shaped, which allows the sealing gasket 22 to wrap more tightly around the second threaded structure, providing better sealing at the connection between the second threaded structure and the lower end cap 21 and the protective cap.

[0085] In this embodiment, the radioactive exhaust gas filter also includes a shielding cover plate 6 and a plug plate 8. The shielding cover plate 6 is disposed on the building surface layer and has perforations. The plug plate 8 is used to block the perforations.

[0086] The bottom end of the stopper plate 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 24.

[0087] Specifically, the plug plate 8 is secured within the perforation of the shielding cover plate 6 via an annular insert 7, and the longitudinal section of the perforation is stepped, as is the longitudinal section of the insert 7. The shielding cover plate 6 can be connected to the building surface layer via the insert 7.

[0088] In this embodiment, the shielding cover 6 is connected to the building surface layer through the insert 7, which makes the connection between the shielding cover 6 and the building surface layer more stable. Moreover, the shape of the contact surface between the insert 7 and the building surface layer can be designed according to the shape of the building surface layer, making the application range of the shielding cover 6 wider and its installation not limited by the shape of the building surface layer.

[0089] The shielding cover 6 is used to shield radioactive materials in the radioactive exhaust gas filter, preventing operators from being exposed to radiation. The thickness of the shielding cover 6 is determined based on the radioactivity level of the exhaust gas under actual operating conditions.

[0093] In this embodiment, the radioactive exhaust gas filter also includes a release clamping mechanism 10, one end of which is connected to the plug plate 8 and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 24.

[0094] The unhooking and clamping mechanism 10 is used to connect the plug plate 8 and the filter element 1, and can directly separate the plug plate 8 from the connecting rod 24 and the radioactive tail gas treatment filter element 1 through it.

[0095] In this embodiment, the plug plate 8 is provided with an interface connected to the gripper. When the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 needs to be repaired or replaced, it can be connected to the interface of the plug plate 8 through the gripper, and the plug plate 8, the unhooking and clamping mechanism 10, the connecting rod 24 and the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 can be lifted from the housing 5 into the maintenance container at the same time through the lifting tool, so that the repair and replacement of the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 can be realized. After replacing the new radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element, the plug plate 8, the unhooking and clamping mechanism 10, the connecting rod 24 and the new radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element are then lifted into the housing 5 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter.

[0096] In this embodiment, the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 can be disassembled and replaced. When replacing the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1, it is only necessary to use a lifting tool to pull the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 out of the housing 5 and install a new radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element in the maintenance container. This does not affect the structure of the housing 5 and other components in the radioactive exhaust gas filter, making it easy to operate and reducing radiation to the operators.

[0097] Preferably, the surface of the stopper plate 8 away from the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 is covered with stainless steel for welding the stopper plate 8 to the shielding cover plate 6.

[0098] In this embodiment, the shielding cover 6 is used to shield radiation. The thickness of the shielding cover 6 is calculated based on the radioactivity level of the gas in the hot chamber to ensure that the radioactivity level exposed to personnel is controlled within the standard range.

[0099] In this embodiment, the housing 5 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter is provided with a drain port 4 at the bottom. The radioactive exhaust gas enters the radioactive exhaust gas filter through the air inlet 2, which is located below the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1. The radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 is cylindrical in structure. After the droplets and aerosols carried by the radioactive exhaust gas undergo sufficient movement and collision in the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1, they are discharged from the drain port 4 at the bottom of the housing 5. The purified exhaust gas is discharged through the air outlet 3 of the housing and transported to the subsequent treatment equipment.

[0100] The radioactive exhaust gas filter of this embodiment can effectively dehumidify and filter radioactive exhaust gas, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0101] Example 3:

[0102] This embodiment discloses a radioactive exhaust gas treatment system, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes the radioactive exhaust gas filter and cleaning device from Example 2.

[0103] The radioactive exhaust gas filter and cleaning device are both located in the heated chamber.

[0104] The cleaning device includes a nozzle 15 and a deionized water delivery pipe. The nozzle 15 is disposed inside the housing 5 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter and above the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1, and is used to clean the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1.

[0105] The deionized water delivery pipe is connected to the nozzle 15 and is used to deliver deionized water into the nozzle 15.

[0106] Preferably, there are multiple nozzles 15, which are evenly arranged above the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1, and the nozzles of the nozzles 15 are oriented towards the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element.

[0107] In this embodiment, the cleaning unit also includes a flushing ring pipe 14, which is disposed above the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1, and multiple nozzles 15 are evenly disposed on the flushing ring pipe 14.

[0108] In this embodiment, the radioactive exhaust gas treatment system also includes a pressure monitor 11 and a controller.

[0109] The pressure monitor 11 is electrically connected to the controller and is installed on the air inlet 2 of the housing 5 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter. It is used to measure the pressure of the air inlet 2 in the radioactive exhaust gas filter and transmit the measured pressure value to the controller.

[0110] In this embodiment, the cleaning device also includes a deionized water pipeline valve 12, which is installed on the deionized water delivery pipeline and is used to control the opening and closing of the deionized water delivery pipeline.

[0111] In this embodiment, the controller is also electrically connected to the deionized water pipeline valve 12 to compare the received pressure value with the preset pressure value stored in it, and control the opening and closing of the deionized water pipeline valve 12 according to the comparison result.

[0112] Specifically, a pressure monitor 11 is installed on the air inlet 2 of the housing 5 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter. The pressure monitor 11 measures the pressure at the air inlet 2 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter and transmits the pressure value to the controller. The controller receives the pressure value and compares it with the pressure value stored in its database. The preset pressure values ​​include a first preset pressure value and a second preset pressure value. When the pressure value is greater than the first preset pressure value, the controller controls the deionized water pipeline valve 12 to open. Deionized water passes through the flushing ring pipe 14 and is then sprayed out from the nozzle 15 to flush and clean the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element and the inner wall of the housing 5 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter. When the measured pressure value is less than the second preset pressure value, the controller controls the deionized water pipeline valve 12 to close, and the radioactive exhaust gas filter is left to stand until it is dry.

[0113] In this embodiment, the first preset pressure value can be set to twice the initial resistance of the air inlet 2 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter. The second preset pressure value can be set to the initial resistance of the air inlet 2 of the radioactive exhaust gas filter.

[0114] In this embodiment, if the measured pressure value does not reach the second preset pressure value, the cleaning device performs a cyclic cleaning operation. If the pressure requirement cannot be met after repeated attempts, it is considered that the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element 1 needs to be replaced.

[0115] In this embodiment, the bottom of the housing 5 of the radioactive tail gas filter is provided with a drain port 4. Deionized water and droplets captured during normal operation are transported to the waste liquid collector 16 through the drain port 4 by gravity, waiting for further processing.

[0116] The radioactive exhaust gas treatment system of this embodiment, by employing the aforementioned radioactive exhaust gas filter, can dehumidify the radioactive exhaust gas and directly clean the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element through the cleaning device in the treatment system. This can effectively extend the service life of the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element, reduce the replacement frequency of the radioactive exhaust gas treatment filter element, reduce the amount of waste generated, and reduce the operating cost of the radioactive exhaust gas treatment system.

[0117] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
