Description

[0002] In the carbon ion therapy system, when ions are injected into the synchrotron from the medium energy transfer system, the stripping injection method is used to make the injected beam ( 12 C 5+ ) bombarding carbon film (15ug / cm 2 ), the beam is stripped of its outer electrons, and we get 12 C 6+ ion.

[0003] In practice, the film stripping device delivers a carbon film into the synchrotron accelerator's vacuum chamber to strip electrons from the beam. If the carbon film becomes damaged, the film stripping and replacement mechanism retrieves it from the synchrotron vacuum chamber, replaces it with the carbon film stored within the device, and delivers the new carbon film to the synchrotron vacuum chamber.

The gate valve 5 is disposed between the vacuum film-changing chamber 4 and the vacuum film storage chamber 6. It connects the vacuum film-changing chamber 4 and the vacuum film storage chamber 6 during film changing and isolates the vacuum film-changing chamber 4 and the vacuum film storage chamber 6 after film changing is complete. The gate valve 5 separates the vacuum film storage chamber 6 from the vacuum film-changing chamber 4, ensuring that the stored carbon film is not affected if the vacuum environment of the synchronizer ring vacuum chamber is disrupted.

[0036] In this embodiment, a molecular pump is provided in the vacuum film storage chamber 6 to maintain the vacuum environment in the vacuum film storage chamber 6.

The film support plate 21 is fixed to the upper end of the first circular rack 18, thereby realizing the lifting movement of the carbon film. The lifting transmission power assembly can also be supported by the first motor bracket 9.

[0041] In this embodiment, three mold frames 22 can be mounted on the film support plate 21. Each mold frame 22 holds a carbon film sheet, with one sheet in use and two stored. This design, while meeting the carbon film requirements, significantly simplifies the film replacement mechanism, eliminating two motor motion systems compared to existing mechanisms.

When replacing the carbon film, the gate valve 5 opens, connecting the vacuum film exchange chamber 4 and the vacuum film storage chamber 6. The membrane support plate 21 rises from the vacuum film storage chamber 6 to the vacuum film exchange chamber 4 to perform the film replacement. After the film replacement is complete, the membrane support plate 21 descends back into the vacuum film storage chamber 6, and the gate valve 5 closes, separating the upper and lower vacuum chambers. A separate molecular pump is installed in the vacuum chamber below the gate valve 5 to maintain a vacuum environment in the vacuum chamber below the gate valve 5.

The sampling block 36 is used to perform the operations of placing the old carbon film and clamping the new carbon film on the film support plate 21 when the second circular rack 39 transmits the sampling block 36 to the vacuum film exchange chamber.

[0051] The telescopic transmission power assembly 26 may also include: a telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38, which is located between the guide vacuum chamber 25 and the rear guide vacuum chamber 27, is sealed and connected to the guide vacuum chamber 25 and the rear guide vacuum chamber 27, and has a second vacuum wall penetration member 40 on the side wall; a second gear 35 is located in the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38, a third self-lubricating sleeve 37 is located at the end of the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38, a second circular rack 39 is sleeved through the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38, and a second transmission shaft 34 extends from the outside into the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38 to drive the second gear 35 to rotate; the portion of the second circular rack 39 that extends out of the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38 is located in the second rear sealed vacuum chamber 28.

[0052] Optionally, a second motor bracket 41 is provided below the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38 .

[0053] Optionally, a second safety protection switch is provided at the end of the telescopic transmission vacuum chamber 38 to limit the second circular rack 39 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the entire film replacement process can be briefly described as follows: the sampling block 36 places the existing mold frame 22 on the empty space of the film support plate 21 and clamps a new mold frame 22 from the film support plate 21 .
