The inner diameter of the circle formed by the tips is smaller than the outer diameter of the quartz target tube 5. When the quartz target tube 5 passes through the crushing head 302 under the extrusion of the extrusion head 301, the tips will squeeze the quartz target tube 5 to break it. Before the extrusion, the tips also play a role in blocking the quartz target tube 5 so that it will not fall directly. The shape of the tips can be designed to be conical, cylindrical, cubic, multi-prism, multi-pyramid, irregular, etc.

[0042] Continue reading Figure 9-11 The lower end of the crushing tube 300 has a crushing head cover 306, and an extrusion inner sleeve 307 is arranged in the crushing head cover 306.

[0043] Continue reading Fig.12 and Fig.13 The dissolution device 4 includes a dissolution container 400 and a second stirring mechanism 402. The dissolution container 400 stores a dissolution liquid. The dissolution container 400 is located directly below the crushing mechanism and receives the quartz target tube 5 and target material falling from the crushing device 3. The second stirring mechanism 402 stirs the dissolution liquid in the dissolution container 400.

During stirring, a corresponding magnet is placed in the dissolving container 400. The stirring and heating method of the magnetic heating stirrer is a well-known technology and will not be described in detail.

[0045] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the dissolution container 400 may be a flat-bottomed beaker or flask, so that there is no need to use the positioning table 401 , and the dissolution container 400 may be directly placed on a magnetic heating stirrer for stirring and heating.

[0046] To prevent the flask from tipping over, the dissolving device 4 further comprises a flask fixing clamp 406 for clamping the flask. The flask fixing clamp 406 is mounted on the second stirring mechanism 402 via a vertical rod. The cooling mechanism 403 is mounted on the vertical rod and faces the flask.

The liquid adding joint 404 has a liquid adding pipe and an exhaust pipe, which are used for liquid inlet and exhaust respectively, and the suction filtration joint 405 has a conventional filter element, which is used to filter undissolved solid matter. The suction filtration joint 405 is connected to an external power source, which sucks the solution in the flask into the storage container.

[0049] See also Fig.14 A method for crushing and dissolving a quartz target tube is carried out in a radiation-proof environment and is implemented by the crushing and dissolving processing system as described above, comprising: Step 1, cleaning the quartz target tube 5 by a cleaning device 1, specifically comprising: The quartz target tube 5 is placed in the material cup 102 of the cleaning device 1 by a manipulator, with the tip of the quartz target tube 5 facing upward. One quartz target tube 5 is placed in each material cup 102, and the cleaning device 1 as a whole can clean 1-4 quartz target tubes 5.

[0050] When the cleaning liquid (water or dilute hydrochloric acid) is added, the control system opens the first stirring mechanism 101 for stirring, and the stirring time is adjustable. After the cleaning and stirring are completed, the control system opens the drain valve 104 to drain the cleaning liquid.

[0051] Step 2, drying the cleaned quartz target tube 5 by a drying device 2, specifically includes: The material cup 102 loaded with the quartz target tube 5 in the cleaning device 1 is directly transferred to the drying cup 200 of the drying device 2 for drying. The drying is mainly carried out by air flow drying, and the water is discharged through the drain pipe 205.

[0052] Step 3, crushing the dried quartz target tube 5 by the crushing device 3, so that the crushed quartz target tube 5 and the target material in the quartz target tube 5 fall into the dissolving device 4, specifically comprising: When the quartz target tube 5 needs to be broken, the control system lowers the breaking mechanism to a specified height (the breaking mechanism is close to the flask of the dissolving device 4). When the dissolving device 4 needs to be filled with liquid and filtered, the lifting mechanism 305 lifts the breaking mechanism.

[0053] In order to ensure that the quartz target tube 5 is crushed from the bottom and reduce residue during crushing, it is necessary to ensure that the tip of the quartz target tube 5 is facing downward when the quartz target tube 5 is transferred to the crushing mechanism. During crushing, the electric push rod is controlled by the control system to move downward, and the extrusion head 301 applies pressure downward to crush the quartz target tube 5. A crushing head 302 is provided at the bottom of the crushing mechanism, and the crushing head 302 is designed with a top. When extruding downward, the quartz target tube 5 is crushed by the top of the crushing head 302.

[0054] Step 4, dissolving the quartz target tube 5 and the target material dropped therein by the dissolving device 4, specifically comprises: After the crushing device 3 crushes the quartz target tube 5, the target material and the debris of the quartz target tube 5 fall into the flask. Then the liquid adding joint 404 is placed on the flask. The liquid adding pipe and the exhaust pipe are fixed on the liquid adding joint 404, and the dissolved liquid is added into the flask through the control system. After the filling is completed, the stirring and heating are started. After the dissolution is completed, the cooling mechanism 403 is used to cool the dissolved liquid, and finally the filtration joint 405 is used to filter the dissolved liquid away.

[0055] More specifically, the dissolution process mainly includes steps such as quantitative addition of solution, heating and stirring, acid mist absorption, and cooling of the reaction vessel.

[0056] (1) Quantitative addition of solution: After the crushing is completed, a proper amount of acid solution is slowly added into the flask through the liquid addition joint 404.

[0057] (2) Heating and stirring: After the solution is filled, the flask is heated by the second stirring mechanism 402. While heating, the solution in the flask is stirred to fully dissolve the target material.

[0058] (3) Acid mist absorption: During the dissolution, in order to prevent the acid volatilization from damaging other equipment, the volatilized acid mist is absorbed through the exhaust pipe of the liquid adding joint 404, and the acid mist is discharged from the flask into the drying tower 7 through the exhaust pipe.

[0059] (4) Cooling of reaction vessel: After heating is completed, the flask is cooled by a fan.

[0060] (5) Filtration matching interface: After the solution is cooled, the solution is transferred by suction filtration. The suction filtration connector 405 is connected to the subsequent suction filtration device, and the front end of the interface performs preliminary filtration on the solution. The front end pipeline extends to the bottom of the flask, and the extraction is completed as much as possible during the transfer process to reduce residue. Then rinse twice, and the rinse liquid is pumped away together.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the present invention, all components in contact with the target tube and the dissolving solution are made of non-metallic organic materials to avoid the incorporation of metal impurities.

[0062] The present invention is characterized in that: 1) The crushing device can crush a single target tube. The crushed fragments will not contain large pieces of debris, which will not affect the subsequent dissolution and filtration; 2) The main components in the crushing process are made of non-metal, which will not introduce soluble impurities into the solution; 3) When the crushing device is crushed, there is basically no target material left; 4) The dissolving device can realize heating, stirring and rapid cooling; 5) The dissolution device can collect and process the gas during the dissolution process to prevent the acid mist from spreading; 6) The filtration joint can achieve solution filtration without residue (excluding surface attachment); 7) The filtration joint can filter the quartz target tube debris.

[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
