Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of accelerator-driven boron neutron capture therapy applications, specifically to a boron neutron capture therapy device that uses a linear accelerator device to accelerate protons and other particles to bombard a target body to generate neutrons, and more particularly to a vertical beam boron neutron capture therapy system and a neutron target system. Background Art
[0002] Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) refers to a binary targeted intracellular radiotherapy technology that uses the fission products of thermal neutrons captured by the B-10 element to kill tumor cells. It has precise targeting at the cellular level. This is because the boron-containing drugs pre-injected into the human body are targeted, and the affinity between the drugs and cancer cells is used to enrich the drugs in cancer cells, while the distribution in normal tissues is relatively small. When neutrons are used for external irradiation of the tumor site, the B-10 element in the drug captures neutrons and undergoes fission reactions, releasing high-energy alpha particles and lithium ions with high linear energy transfer (LET). These two particles have strong lethality to cancer cells and both have high energy transfer line density. At the same time, they have a strong relative biological effect on cancer cells. The energy generated by only a few alpha particles can produce a lethal effect on tumor cells, and cause less damage to normal tissues.
[0003] When particles or rays generated by the accelerator bombard the neutron generating target, especially after the incidence of low-energy protons, high-energy deposition will be formed at the front end of the target. For example, in the boron neutron capture therapy for cancer, the proton energy used is between 2MeV and 10MeV, the proton beam power is as high as 30kW or more, and the heat flux density exceeds 100kW / cm2, so the heat dissipation problem of the target needs to be solved urgently. The neutron performance of lithium targets is better than that of beryllium targets. It has a higher neutron yield at a lower proton beam energy of 2.5 to 3.5MeV, and the neutron energy is also low and easy to slow down.
[0004] Chinese patent application number CN218925979U discloses a device for producing a rotating lithium target material. Although it can continuously produce lithium material, there is no vacuum protection on the outside, and the newly formed lithium layer is quickly oxidized, resulting in an unsatisfactory final effect. Chinese patent application number CN113260131A discloses a solid lithium target chamber with a sealing structure, which can maintain a vacuum environment during the transportation, installation, and maintenance of the lithium target. However, lithium material consumption will occur during the target shooting process, so the target body needs to be taken out for evaporation, and the solid lithium target has poor heat dissipation, which requires high cooling performance for the overall device. Chinese patent application number CN217181818U discloses a rotating cylindrical target body container. By setting an evaporation crucible, the evaporation function of the lithium target can be realized, but the device does not have a moderator structure. Therefore, in the existing inventions and invention patents, most of them use lithium as the target material, and the target body is mostly in a fixed state, so there are the following problems:
[0005] (1) The melting point of lithium material is relatively low, about 180°C. In order to maintain its performance and extend the service life of the target, an efficient heat dissipation cooling method must be adopted. Most substrate cooling methods are not suitable for long-term operation of the target;
[0006] (2) Long-term beam irradiation will cause many irreversible damages to the target, such as foaming of the target material and the generation of impurities. Especially when the target is fixed in position, the target material needs to be replaced regularly, which increases the cost of production, manufacturing, and processing;
[0007] (3) Accelerator-driven targets are mostly independent devices that need to be assembled with moderators, reflectors and other equipment to complete neutron moderation, ensure neutron directionality and other functions. Therefore, the above-mentioned devices will occupy a certain amount of space and incur costs such as coordination and installation. Summary of the invention

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0047] The device also includes a driving device, which is connected to the sealing cover plate 15 through the cover plate shaft 4 to drive the sealing cover plate 15 to flip. The driving device is provided to realize automatic control of the opening and closing of the sealing door, thereby realizing intelligent control during operation in the container cavity. The driving device includes but is not limited to a servo motor, a stepper motor, etc.
[0048] In order to satisfy the evaporation function of the target material, the evaporation device 33 includes a crucible, a thermal resistor evaporation source and a heat insulating layer.
[0049] The inner wall of the target cavity 12 is located above the target 21 and is provided with a cleaning nozzle 5 . The cleaning nozzle 5 is used to clean the waste target material generated by the target 21 and complete the cleaning work inside the target container 1 at the same time.
[0050] A sliding baffle 18 is slidably provided at the connection between the target cavity 12 and the equipment cavity 13. A discharge port 16 communicating with the equipment cavity 13 is provided on the side of the target container 1. A sealing baffle 17 is provided at the discharge port 16.

[0051] The inner wall of the target cavity 12 is located above the target 21 and is also provided with a film thickness monitor 6. The film thickness monitor 6 is used to monitor the thickness of the regenerated target material on the surface of the target 21 during the evaporation operation so as to control and meet the parameter requirements.
[0052] A ventilation valve 7 communicating with the target cavity 12 is provided on the side of the target container 1. The ventilation valve 7 is used to connect external equipment, deliver high-temperature gas when drying the target 21, and connect protective gas such as argon to maintain a vacuum environment in the container cavity when abnormal conditions occur.
[0053] A sealing strip 8 is provided on the outer edge of the injection port 14 to ensure a sealed environment in the target container 1 when the sealing door is closed.
[0054] The working principle of this embodiment is:
[0055] Target evaporation: Close the sealing cover plate 15 at the top of the target container 1, move the evaporation device 33 to the bottom of the target 21, open the sliding baffle 18, and close the sealing cover plate 15 and the sealing baffle 17. Connect the vent valve 7 to the vacuum pump to evacuate the target container 1 so that the system reaches the preset deposition pressure value. Set the speed range of the target 21 to 1-100 rpm, and set the flow rate of the inlet cooling medium to control the temperature of the target 21. The evaporation device 33 is heated to evaporate the built-in spare target material. The evaporated atoms or molecules move in a straight line without collision and are rapidly transmitted to the target shell 23 to form clusters. Through contact and merging with adjacent particles, a continuous film is formed. The film thickness monitor 6 in the container monitors the target film thickness in real time. When the preset value is reached, the heating of the evaporation device 33 is stopped to complete the evaporation process of the target 21. It should be noted that the spare target material is pre-placed in the evaporation device 33 during operation, and can be replenished after the spare target material is exhausted.
[0056] Beam target shooting: Before the proton beam irradiates the target 21, the target container 1 is evacuated to a high vacuum state, the top sealing cover 15, the sliding baffle 18 and the sealing baffle 17 are opened, the moderator 31 connected to the evaporation device 33 is moved to the bottom of the target 21, and the sealing baffle 17 is closed. The speed range of the target 21 is set to 1000-10000rpm, the cooling medium inlet switch is turned on, and the inlet flow rate is adjusted to make the cooling medium flow rate reach the rated state. After the flow rate stabilizes, the accelerator system is started, and the proton beam is directly shot to the cylindrical target 21 that is performing periodic rotation through the high-energy transmission line, a spallation reaction occurs and epithermal neutrons are generated, and the beam target shooting process is completed.
[0057] Target cleaning: The target 21 will produce impurities after being irradiated with the beam for a period of time. Before cleaning the target 21, close the sealing cover 15, the sliding baffle 18 and the sealing baffle 17. Set the speed range of the target 21 to 1 to 100 rpm, then turn on the cleaning nozzle 5 to spray the built-in oxidant liquid in an atomized state. During this period, the spray continuously corrodes the metal target material and dissolves it in the oxide spray liquid to form waste liquid. After the final cleaning is completed, open the sliding baffle 18 and the sealing baffle 17, and the waste liquid is discharged through the discharge port 16. Observe the inside of the container through a visual probe. After the target 21 is cleaned until there are no residual impurities, close the cleaning nozzle 5 to complete the target 21 cleaning process.
[0058] Target drying: After the target 21 cleaning process is completed, there are residual droplets on the surface of the target 21, the target shell 23 and the inner surface of the target container 1, which becomes a safety hazard in the next evaporation process of the target 21. Before drying the target 21, open the sliding baffle 18, close the sealing cover plate 15 and the sealing baffle 17 at the upper end of the target container 1, open the ventilation valve 7 to spray high-temperature gas into the target container 1, and evaporate the residual droplets. Set the speed range of the target 21 to 100rpm. Observe through the visual probe, and when there is no liquid residue on each surface, close the ventilation valve 7 to complete the drying process of the target 21.
