Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of calibration and testing of nuclear criticality accident radiation alarms, and in particular relates to a movable automatic positioning on-site calibration and testing system. Background Art

[0002] A nuclear criticality accident is an energy release event caused by an unexpected, self-sustaining or divergent neutron chain reaction. A criticality accident is accompanied by a large amount of neutrons and gamma radiation, which can result in high, even lethal, radiation doses to personnel near the site of the criticality accident, with devastating consequences. In nuclear fuel cycle facilities such as fuel element plants and reprocessing plants, criticality accident radiation alarm systems are crucial for timely warning of criticality accidents. These gamma radiation alarm systems are designed to rapidly issue an alarm upon the onset of the first supercriticality event, or the first pulse spike. This notifies personnel to address the accident immediately, preventing subsequent pulse spikes and the subsequent escalation of the accident. Furthermore, they notify other personnel to evacuate the site promptly to avoid exposure to further pulse spikes and their power levels.

[0003] It can be seen that the reliability and effectiveness of the gamma radiation alarm system are of great significance to the safety and reliability of nuclear criticality accident monitoring. Therefore, it is very necessary to calibrate the key parameters of the pulse radiation performance of the nuclear criticality accident gamma radiation alarm system to ensure its effectiveness and reliability. Most of the existing metrological calibration technologies are to transport the relevant calibration equipment to the location of the instrument to be calibrated (i.e., on-site), and then manually install the calibration equipment in front of the instrument to be calibrated. During the test and calibration process, the height and angle of the calibration equipment are manually adjusted according to the measurement data. This existing technology has the following defects: (1) It relies on manual adjustment, which is inefficient. At the same time, it is affected by human factors, and the accuracy and reliability of the calibration are low, which cannot meet the high safety, speed and high reliability requirements of the nuclear criticality accident radiation alarm system; (2) Each on-site calibration requires manual transportation and installation, which is inconvenient to operate, and requires high professional skills of relevant personnel, and is costly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of safety, reliability and efficiency existing in the existing nuclear critical accident radiation alarm system testing and calibration technology, the present invention provides a movable automatic positioning on-site calibration test system. The present invention can automatically adjust the distance between the critical alarm system to be calibrated and the pulse radiation device by controlling the movable automatic positioning on-site calibration test system according to the location of the alarm system detector, thereby realizing rapid and reliable calibration of the critical alarm system and avoiding problems such as low calibration efficiency and poor reliability due to the influence of human factors.

The test system proposed in the present invention does not require human intervention and can quickly, accurately and automatically calibrate fixed radiation alarms, avoiding the problems of poor reliability and accuracy, low efficiency and other problems of the existing technology caused by human factors. At the same time, the test system proposed in the present invention is easy to use and can be used as a universal on-site calibration test system to calibrate similar fixed radiation alarms.

[0060] Example:

[0061] In response to the problem of traceability of pulse parameter values in fixed nuclear criticality accident γ radiation alarm systems, and in order to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the metrological calibration of key pulse radioactivity parameters of fixed nuclear criticality accident γ radiation alarm systems, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of nuclear criticality, this embodiment proposes a movable automatic positioning on-site calibration test system. The test system proposed in this embodiment automatically adjusts the distance between the critical alarm system to be calibrated and the pulse irradiation device by controlling the test system according to the location of the alarm system detector, thereby achieving calibration of the critical alarm system. The test system is moved to the vicinity of the critical alarm system to be calibrated, and the relative spatial position between the two is automatically adjusted during the calibration process, without the need for human intervention, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the calibration test, and improving the calibration test efficiency, while ensuring the safety of the test personnel.

[0062] The movable automatic positioning on-site calibration test system proposed in this embodiment includes a pulse irradiation device, a three-dimensional mobile platform, a calibration device, a sensing device, and a control device.

[0063] Among them, the pulse irradiation device, calibration device, sensing device and control device are all installed on the three-dimensional mobile platform; the control device is electrically connected to the pulse irradiation device, the driving mechanism of the three-dimensional mobile platform, the calibration device and the sensing device.

[0064] Under the control of the control device, the pulse irradiation device emits pulse rays to the instrument to be calibrated through the emission window thereon. The sensing device is used to detect the distance signal between the instrument to be calibrated and the pulse irradiation device and transmit it to the control device. The control device controls the three-dimensional mobile platform to move to the corresponding position according to the distance signal to ensure that the pulse irradiation device is at the optimal detection distance for calibration; the calibration device sends a target signal, which is located directly in front of the emission window of the pulse irradiation device and is projected onto the instrument to be calibrated, and obtains the target signal position image on the instrument to be calibrated and obtains the spatial position deviation value of the pulse irradiation signal based on the target signal position image and the standard target signal position image. The control device controls the three-dimensional mobile platform to drive the pulse irradiation device thereon to adjust the spatial position according to the spatial position deviation value, so that the pulse rays emitted by the pulse irradiation device are aligned with the instrument to be calibrated, thereby completing the on-site calibration test of the instrument to be calibrated.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the three-dimensional mobile platform includes a transverse moving device, a longitudinal moving device and a lifting device, wherein the transverse moving device is arranged on the longitudinal moving device, the lifting device is arranged on the transverse moving device, the pulse irradiation device is installed on the lifting device, and the sensing device and the calibration device are both arranged at corresponding positions of the pulse irradiation device; the longitudinal moving device can drive the entire device thereon to move to a corresponding position according to the distance between the pulse irradiation device and the calibrated instrument, so that the pulse irradiation device is in an optimal detection position; the transverse moving device can drive the entire device thereon to move transversely (i.e., left and right); and the lifting device can drive the entire device thereon to move up and down.

[0066] Specific as Figure 1 As shown, the longitudinal movement device includes a base 4, drive wheels 5, and guide rails 6. Multiple drive wheels 5 are disposed below the base 4 and are electrically connected to the control device 3. Under the control of the control device 3, the drive wheels 5 can move along the guide rails 6, thereby driving the entire calibration and testing system to a corresponding position. The transverse direction is the length direction of the base 4, the longitudinal direction is the width direction of the base 4, and the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the base 4.

[0067] The transverse moving device includes a first driver 7 and two transverse guide rails 8, wherein the two transverse guide rails 8 are arranged on the base 4 in parallel along the length direction of the base 4, and the first driver 7 is connected to the lifting device for driving the lifting device to move on the two transverse guide rails 8; optionally, the first driver 7 is arranged on the base 4, including a first drive motor, a horizontal screw and a first screw nut, the first drive motor is electrically connected to the control device 3, the output end of the first drive motor is connected to the horizontal screw, the horizontal screw is arranged parallel to the two transverse guide rails 8, the first screw nut is connected to the horizontal screw, and the first screw nut is fixed to the bottom of the lifting device. When the first drive motor is running, it drives the horizontal screw to rotate, and the rotation of the horizontal screw will drive the first screw nut to move transversely on the horizontal screw, thereby driving the lifting device as a whole to move transversely. Since the pulse irradiation device 1 is arranged on the lifting device, automatic adjustment of the pulse irradiation device 1 in the transverse direction is realized.

[0068] The lifting device includes a base plate, a second driver 9 and two vertical guide rails 10, wherein the two vertical guide rails 10 are vertically arranged on the base plate and parallel to each other, the bottom of the base plate is fixedly connected to the first screw nut, the pulse irradiation device 1 is arranged between the two vertical guide rails 10, and the second driver 9 is transmission-connected to the pulse irradiation device 1 for driving the pulse irradiation device 1 to move up and down along the two vertical guide rails 10. Optionally, a second drive 9 is provided on the base plate, and the second drive 9 includes a second drive motor, a vertical screw and a second screw nut. The second drive motor is electrically connected to the control device 3, and the output end of the second drive motor is connected to the vertical screw. The vertical screw is arranged parallel to the two vertical guide rails 10, and the vertical screw is connected to the second screw nut in a transmission manner. The second screw nut is fixed on the pulse irradiation device 1. When the second drive motor is running, it drives the vertical screw to rotate, and the rotation of the vertical screw will drive the second screw nut to move on the vertical screw. Then, the rotation direction of the second drive motor is adjusted to drive the pulse irradiation device 1 to move up and down along the vertical screw, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the pulse irradiation device 1 in the vertical direction.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the calibration device includes a horizontal infrared emitter 11, a vertical infrared emitter 12, and an image calibrator, and the sensing device includes a distance sensor 2. The intersection of the rays emitted by the horizontal infrared emitter 11 and the vertical infrared emitter 12 is located directly in front of an emission window 13 provided on the pulse irradiation device 1. The infrared emitter and the image calibrator are both electrically connected to the control device 3. The horizontal infrared emitter 11, the vertical infrared emitter 12, and the image calibrator are all disposed on the pulse irradiation device 1. The horizontal infrared emitter 11 can emit a horizontal infrared ray that is projected onto the instrument being calibrated, and the vertical infrared emitter 12 can emit a vertical infrared ray that is projected onto the instrument being calibrated. The horizontal and vertical infrared rays form an infrared intersection on the instrument being calibrated, ensuring that the infrared intersection is always located directly in front of the emission window 13 of the pulse irradiation device 1. Therefore, when the pulse irradiation device 1 is moved, the position of the infrared intersection on the instrument being calibrated can be used to check whether the emission window 13 of the pulse irradiation device 1 is aligned with the instrument being calibrated. When the infrared intersection is aligned with the instrument being calibrated, the image calibrator records the image of the infrared intersection on the instrument being calibrated at this time. When performing the second, third, and Nth tests, the instrument being calibrated only needs to be placed directly in front of the pulse detector 1. The distance sensor 2 transmits the distance signal between the pulse irradiation device 1 and the instrument being calibrated to the control device 3. The control device then controls the drive wheel 5 to move on the guide rail 6 until the pulse irradiation device 1 and the instrument being calibrated are in the optimal detection position. The image calibrator records the image of the infrared intersection on the instrument being calibrated at this time, and then compares it with the image of the infrared intersection on the instrument being calibrated when the emission window 13 of the pulse irradiation device 1 is aligned with the instrument being calibrated. The vertical and lateral displacement deviations are transmitted to the control device 3 via signals. The control device 3 then controls the first driver 7 to operate to eliminate the lateral displacement deviation and controls the second driver 9 to operate to eliminate the vertical displacement deviation, so that the emission window 13 of the pulse irradiation device 1 is aligned with the instrument being calibrated, completing the automatic adjustment without manual control, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the calibration and improving the calibration efficiency.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, both ends of the transverse guide rail 8 and the vertical guide rail 10 are provided with a limit device 14, and the limit device 14 is electrically connected to the control device 3. Optionally, the limit device 14 can be a mechanical limit device or an electrical limit device. The two ends of the transverse guide rail 8 can be selected to be either a mechanical limit device and an electrical limit device, both mechanical limit devices or both electrical limit devices. When the first driver 7 drives the lifting device to move on the transverse guide rail 8, when it moves to the limit device 14 at the leftmost or rightmost end of the transverse guide rail 8, the limit device 14 will send a stop signal to the control device 3 to control the first driver 7 to stop operating; similarly, the two ends of the vertical guide rail 10 can be selected to be either a mechanical limit device and an electrical limit device, both mechanical limit devices or both electrical limit devices. When the second driver 9 drives the pulse irradiation device 1 to move on the vertical guide rail 10, when it moves to the limit device 14 at the topmost or bottommost end of the vertical guide rail 10, the limit device 14 will send a stop signal to the control device 3, and the control device 3 will control the second driver 9 to stop operating. This embodiment provides a limit device to prevent staff from making operational errors or excessive displacement deviation during automatic calibration that exceeds the adjustable range of the transverse guide rail 8 and the vertical guide rail 10, resulting in contact with both ends of the transverse guide rail 8 and the vertical guide rail 10 during movement and damage to the equipment.

[0071] The three-dimensional mobile platform used in this embodiment features a trolley-type longitudinal motion mechanism with omnidirectional capabilities, enabling forward, backward, left, right, and turning movements. Its positioning accuracy is no greater than 0.5 cm, and its maximum travel speed is no less than 100 mm / s. The transverse motion mechanism has a left-right movement range of no less than 1 meter, a positioning accuracy of better than ±0.5 mm, and a maximum travel speed of no less than 30 mm / s. The lifting mechanism controls the vertical movement of the pulse irradiation device, with a vertical movement range of no less than 2 meters, a positioning accuracy of better than ±0.5 mm, and a maximum lifting speed of no less than 30 mm / s.

[0072] Specific as Figure 2 As shown, the calibration test method process of the calibration test system proposed in this embodiment includes:

[0073] Step 1: Obtain the distance between the pulse irradiation device and the instrument to be calibrated, as measured by a sensing device (i.e., a distance sensor), and control the three-dimensional mobile platform (i.e., control the driving wheel 5 to move along the guide rail 6) to move to the optimal detection position based on the distance;

[0074] Step 2: Control the calibration device to emit a target signal and project it onto the instrument being calibrated, and obtain a target signal position image on the instrument being calibrated. Based on the obtained target signal position image and a standard target signal position image (i.e., an image when the pulse ray emitted by the pulse irradiation device is aligned with the instrument being calibrated), obtain the spatial distance deviation value (including horizontal and vertical distance deviations) of the pulse irradiation device.

[0075] Step 3: Control the three-dimensional mobile platform (i.e., control the lateral moving device and the lifting device) according to the spatial distance deviation value to automatically adjust the spatial position of the pulse irradiation device thereon (move horizontally and vertically according to the corresponding distance deviation respectively), and the on-site calibration test of the instrument to be calibrated can be completed.
