[0032] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.
[0033] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 8 A multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device according to an embodiment of the present application is described.
[0034] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the explosion structure of the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection equipment 10 includes a shielding body 100 , a Marlin cup 200 and a detection device 300 .
[0035] The Marin cup 200 is disposed in the shielding body 100, and the Marin cup 200 is used to store the sample to be tested. Exemplarily, the shielding body 100 may include a shielding material (e.g., lead) having an effective radioactive shielding performance, thereby blocking the interference of external radiation on the test results, ensuring the stability of the measurement environment, and reducing background radiation and environmental noise, thereby improving the sensitivity, accuracy and efficiency of the measurement, and ensuring that the detected signal comes from the sample to be tested. The Marin cup 200 can prevent the sample to be tested from being contaminated by the outside world during the detection process, and ensure the accuracy of the test results.
[0036] The multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 has a radioactivity detection mode. In the radioactivity detection mode, the detection device 300 has a spectrum stabilization stage and a measurement stage. When the detection device 300 is in the spectrum stabilization stage, the detection device 300 is located outside the shielding body 100; when the detection device 300 is in the measurement stage, at least part of the detection device 300 is located inside the Marlin cup 200.
[0037] Exemplarily, when the detection device 300 is in the radioactivity detection mode, the state of the sample to be tested can be solid, liquid or a solid-liquid mixture. The type of the sample to be tested can be food (such as drinking water, milk, juice, vegetables, meat, grains, etc.) or non-food (such as chemical solutions, soil, etc.).
[0038] In the radioactivity detection mode, it is necessary to perform energy spectrum measurement to identify different types of radionuclides and then determine the activity of the corresponding radionuclides. When performing energy spectrum measurement, the energy spectrum needs to be stabilized (i.e., the spectrum stabilization stage) to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. When the detection device is in the spectrum stabilization stage, the detection device 300 is located outside the shielding body 100. At this time, the detection device 300 is separated from the Marin cup 200, and the detection device 300 is separated from the shielding body 100. The detection device 300 can successfully complete automatic spectrum stabilization in the environment to avoid the shielding body 100 shielding the benchmark characteristic peak in the external environment, and can use natural radionuclides for spectrum stabilization, thereby avoiding the shielding body 100 from having an adverse effect on the spectrum stabilization and ensuring the accuracy of the detection results. After the spectrum stabilization is completed, the detection end of the detection device 300 can be extended into the Marin cup 200 for measurement (i.e., the measurement stage, such as Figure 2 As shown), the detection result of the radioactive specific activity in the sample to be tested is obtained. Thus, the radioactive contamination level of the sample to be tested can be determined, thereby determining whether the sample to be tested meets the safety requirements.
[0039] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection equipment 10 may also include a sample preparation mixer 500 to mix the sample to be tested, ensure the uniformity of the sample to be tested, reduce the precipitation or stratification phenomenon that may exist in the sample to be tested, and reduce the detection error caused by the unevenness of the sample to be tested, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.
[0040] According to the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection equipment 10 of the embodiment of the present application, by making the detection device 300 located outside the shielding body 100 during the spectrum stabilization stage, and the detection device 300 at least partially located in the Marin cup 200 during the measurement stage, in the radioactivity activity detection mode, natural radioactive nuclides can be used for spectrum stabilization, thereby avoiding the adverse effect of the shielding body 100 on the spectrum stabilization and ensuring the accuracy of the activity detection results.
[0041] In one embodiment, the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 may also have a dose rate detection mode and a nuclide identification mode, in which the detection device 300 is located outside the shielding body 100. The dose rate refers to the radiation dose received per unit time, usually in millisieverts per hour (mSv / h) or microsieverts per hour (μSv / h).
[0042] For example, when the detection device 300 is in the dose rate detection mode, the operator can hold the detection device 300 to measure the environmental dose rate in real time at the nuclear contamination site. When the dose rate exceeds the preset radiation threshold, the detection device 300 can trigger an audible and visual alarm, thereby effectively preventing people from mistakenly entering the radiation area. When the detection device 300 is in the nuclide identification mode, the detection device 300 can identify radioactive nuclides in the environment.
[0043] In this embodiment, by making the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 also have a dose rate detection mode and a nuclide identification mode, the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 has more comprehensive functions and more diverse usage scenarios, and can adapt to a variety of detection needs. In addition, the detection device 300 can be used independently in the dose rate detection mode and the nuclide identification mode, which is more convenient and flexible.
[0044] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a detection device 300 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the detection device 300 may include a housing 310, a detection unit 320 and a data processing unit 330. The detection unit 320 is disposed in the housing 310. When the detection device 300 is in the measurement phase, the detection unit 320 is located in the Marin Cup 200, and the detection unit 320 is used to detect the radiation signal in the sample to be tested and convert the radiation signal into an analog electrical signal. The data processing unit 330 is disposed in the housing 310, and the input end of the data processing unit 330 is connected to the output end of the detection unit 320. When the detection device 300 is in the measurement phase, the data processing unit 330 is located outside the Marin Cup 200.
[0045] Exemplarily, the detection end of the detection device 300 includes a detection unit 320. When the detection device 300 is in a radioactivity detection mode, the sample to be tested can be placed in the Marin cup 200. After the spectrum stabilization is completed, the detection unit 320 is extended into the Marin cup 200 to enter the measurement phase. The detection unit 320 can detect the radiation signal in the sample to be tested and convert the radiation signal into an analog electrical signal. The data processing unit 330 can receive the analog electrical signal and determine the detection result of the radioactivity specific activity in the sample to be tested based on the analog electrical signal.
[0046] When the detection device 300 is in the dose rate detection mode, the detection device 300 is located outside the shielding body 100, and the detection unit 320 can detect the radiation signal in the environment and convert the radiation signal into an analog electrical signal. The data processing unit 330 can receive the analog electrical signal and calculate the dose rate based on the analog electrical signal. When the dose rate exceeds the preset radiation threshold, an audible and visual alarm can be triggered, thereby effectively preventing people from mistakenly entering the radiation area.
[0047] When the detection device 300 is in the nuclide identification mode, the detection device 300 is located outside the shielding body 100, and the detection unit 320 can also detect the radiation signal and convert the radiation signal into an analog electrical signal. The data processing unit 330 can receive the analog electrical signal and identify the radioactive nuclides in the environment based on the analog electrical signal.
[0048] In this embodiment, by providing a shell 310, a detection unit 320 and a data processing unit 330, the shell 310 can effectively protect the detection unit 320 and the data processing unit 330, and the data processing unit 330 can determine the detection result (such as the detection result of the radioactive specific activity in the sample to be tested, the dose rate calculation result and the identification result of the radioactive nuclide) according to the analog electrical signal output by the detection unit 320. Moreover, since the detection unit 320 is located in the Marin cup 200 when the detection device 300 is in the measurement stage, and since the Marin cup 200 is located in the shielding body 100, the shielding body 100 can form an electromagnetic shield to block the interference of external radiation on the detection result, so that the detection result is more accurate. In addition, by locating the data processing unit 330 outside the Marin cup 200, the space occupied by the detection device 300 in the Marin cup 200 can be reduced.
[0049] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the housing 310 may include a detection accommodating portion 311, a control portion 312 and a handheld portion 313. Specifically, the detection unit 320 is disposed in the detection accommodating portion 311. When the detection device 300 is in the measurement stage, the detection accommodating portion 311 is located in the Marin Cup 200, and the handheld portion 313 is disposed outside the shielding body 100. The control portion 312 is connected between the detection accommodating portion 311 and the handheld portion 313, and the data processing unit 330 is located in the control portion 312. When the detection device 300 is in the measurement stage, the control portion 312 is located outside the Marin Cup 200.
[0050] It should be noted that, in this application, “the detection unit 320 is disposed in the detection accommodating portion 311” should be understood in a broad sense, which means that the detection unit 320 is entirely located in the detection accommodating portion 311. In other words, the detection unit 320 may be entirely located in the detection accommodating portion 311, or most of the structure of the detection unit 320 may be located in the detection accommodating portion 311, and a small part of the structure of the detection unit 320 may be located in the control portion 312.
[0051] For example, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the housing 310 can be formed into a "gun shape". The control part 312 can be generally in a quadrangular prism structure, and the outer surface of the control part 312 can include a first surface 3121 and a second surface 3122 arranged oppositely, a third surface 3123 and a fourth surface 3124 arranged oppositely, and a fifth surface 3125 and a sixth surface (not shown in the figure) arranged oppositely, the fifth surface 3125 is connected between the first surface 3121 and the second surface 3122, and the fifth surface 3125 is connected between the third surface 3123 and the fourth surface 3124. Among them, the first surface 3121, the second surface 3122, the third surface 3123 and the fourth surface 3124 can all be rectangular. The fifth surface 3125 and the sixth surface can be trapezoidal. The detection accommodating part 311 is connected to the first surface 3121 of the control part 312, and the detection accommodating part 311 can be formed into a cylindrical structure adapted to the structure of the detection unit 320. Accordingly, the Marlin cup 200 may define a cylindrical storage cavity 210 adapted to the detection accommodating portion 311. The hand-held portion 313 may be connected to the third surface 3123 and the second surface 3122 of the control portion 312, and the central axis of the hand-held portion 313 may form an angle with the central axis of the detection accommodating portion 311.
[0052] In this embodiment, by making the housing 310 include a detection accommodating portion 311, a control portion 312 and a handheld portion 313, the detection accommodating portion 311 can effectively protect the detection unit 320, prevent dust, moisture, etc. from damaging the detection unit 320, and extend the service life of the detection unit 320. The handheld portion 313 makes it more convenient to carry and operate the detection device 300, so that the operator can flexibly adjust the position of the detection device 300 according to needs. In addition, the arrangement of the control portion 312 and the handheld portion 313 can avoid occupying the internal space of the Marlin Cup 200, and the structure is more reasonable.
[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the distance between the detection unit 320 and the inner surface of the detection accommodating part 311 is less than the distance between the remaining structures in the shell 310 and the inner surface of the detection accommodating part 311. Exemplarily, the detection unit 320 can be a cylindrical structure, and the shape of the detection accommodating part 311 can be adapted to the shape of the detection unit 320. The inner surface of the detection accommodating part 311 can include a bottom surface and a side surface connected to each other. When the detection device 300 is in the measurement stage, the bottom surface of the detection accommodating part 311 is parallel to the bottom wall of the storage cavity 210 of the Marlin Cup 200, and the bottom surface of the detection accommodating part 311 is arranged opposite to the bottom wall of the storage cavity 210. The sample to be tested is located between the bottom surface of the detection accommodating part 311 and the bottom wall of the storage cavity 210.
[0054] In this embodiment, by making the distance between the detection unit 320 and the inner surface of the detection accommodating portion 311 smaller than the distance between the remaining structures in the shell 310 and the inner surface of the detection accommodating portion 311, the distance between the detection unit 320 and the inner surface of the detection accommodating portion 311 is shortened. Therefore, no other structure is arranged between the detection unit 320 and the inner surface of the detection accommodating portion 311. The radiation rays can directly enter the detection unit 320 after passing through the detection accommodating portion 311, which can effectively reduce the shielding of the radiation rays, thereby further improving the accuracy of the detection results.
[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the detection device 300 may also include a display screen 340, a button portion 350, a power supply unit 360 and a charging communication interface 370 connected to the power supply unit 360, the display screen 340 is arranged on the control unit 312, at least part of the power supply unit 360 and the button portion 350 are arranged on the handheld portion 313, and the charging communication interface 370 is arranged on the handheld portion 313.
[0056] For example, in combination Figure 3 , a part of the power supply unit 360 is disposed in the handheld part 313, and another part of the power supply unit 360 is disposed in the control part 312. Optionally, the power supply unit 360 can be a lithium battery, but is not limited thereto. The charging communication interface 370 is disposed at one end of the handheld part 313 away from the control part 312 (for example, Figure 3 The charging communication interface 370 may have a power supply function and a communication function. For example, the charging communication interface 370 and the power supply may be connected through a charging device, so that the power supply unit 360 is charged through the charging communication interface 370; the charging communication interface 370 and the host computer may also be connected through a data connection line, so as to realize the communication function.
[0057] Exemplarily, the detection accommodating portion 311 is connected to the first surface 3121 of the control portion 312, and the display screen 340 can be arranged on the second surface 3122 of the control portion 312. The button portion 350 is arranged on the side of the handheld portion 313 that is away from the detection accommodating portion 311. An angle α may be formed between the surface of the side of the handheld portion 313 that is away from the detection accommodating portion 311 and the display screen 340. Among them, α may be 15° to 25° (including the endpoint values), for example, α may be 20°. In this way, while ensuring that the operator can hold and use the detection device 300 in all directions, a good observation field of view can be provided for the operator.
[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The button part 350 may include an up direction key 351, a down direction key 352, a left direction key 353, a right direction key 354, and a power / confirmation key 355. The up direction key 351, the down direction key 352, the left direction key 353, and the right direction key 354 may be arranged head to tail in sequence to define a circular ring structure, and the power / confirmation key 355 is located in the circular ring structure. The button part 350 configured in this way can be operated by an operator with one hand while satisfying the operating function, and is more convenient and flexible to use.
[0059] Figure 4 FIG. 1 shows an architecture diagram of a detection device according to an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the data processing unit 330 includes a preamplifier 331, an analog-to-digital converter 332, a digital processor 333 and a controller 334. Among them, the input end of the preamplifier 331 is connected to the output end of the detection unit 320, and the preamplifier 331 is used to amplify the analog electrical signal. The input end of the analog-to-digital converter 332 is connected to the output end of the preamplifier 331, and the analog-to-digital converter 332 is used to convert the analog electrical signal into a digital electrical signal. The input end of the digital processor 333 is connected to the output end of the analog-to-digital converter 332, and the digital processor 333 is used to process the digital electrical signal and output energy spectrum data. The input end of the controller 334 is connected to the output end of the digital processor 333, and the controller 334 is used to perform energy spectrum measurement and analysis based on the energy spectrum data.
[0060] Exemplarily, the digital processor 333 can be a programmable logic device (Field-Programmable Gate Array, FPGA), which can include a logic module, a trigger, a programmable interconnect network, a digital signal processing module and a storage module (not shown). Among them, the logic module can be used to classify and process the received digital electrical signals, and perform various logic operations, such as determining the amplitude and time characteristics of the digital electrical signals. The trigger can store the processed pulse amplitude information to ensure that the energy spectrum data is transmitted to the controller 334 at an appropriate clock cycle. The programmable interconnect network allows the user to flexibly adjust the processing path of the digital electrical signal so that the data can be processed according to a specific timing and sequence to meet different experimental requirements. The digital signal processing module can be used for high-precision signal analysis, such as filtering, integration, differentiation and other advanced processing of digital electrical signals, to help more accurately extract key information such as pulse amplitude. The storage module can be used to store pulse data, such as intermediate processing results, pulse counts, etc., and can also be used to cache the collected data, waiting for subsequent processing or transmission.
[0061] Exemplarily, the controller 334 can determine the detection result after performing energy spectrum measurement and analysis according to the energy spectrum data. For example, when the detection device 300 is in the radioactivity detection mode, the controller 334 can determine the detection result of the radioactivity specific activity in the sample to be tested. When the detection device 300 is in the dose rate detection mode, the controller 334 can determine the dose rate calculation result. When the detection device 300 is in the nuclide identification mode, the controller 334 can determine the identification result of the radionuclide. Optionally, the controller 334 can be an embedded microprocessor, but is not limited thereto.
[0062] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the controller 334 can be electrically connected to the display screen 340. After the controller 334 performs energy spectrum measurement according to the energy spectrum data and obtains the detection result, the detection result can be displayed on the display screen 340. The detection device 300 can also include an alarm device 380 connected to the controller 334. For example, when the detection device 300 is in a dose rate detection mode, when the dose rate exceeds a preset radiation threshold, the controller 334 can control the alarm device 380 to alarm, thereby preventing people from mistakenly entering the radiation area. Optionally, the alarm device 380 can include an indicator light, a buzzer, etc., but is not limited thereto.
[0063] Optionally, refer to Figure 4, the data processing unit 330 may further include a power management module 335.

[0067] Exemplarily, the shielding body 100 may be formed into a cylindrical structure. The material of the shielding layer 110 may include lead; the thickness of the shielding layer 110 may be 8 mm to 12 mm (including the end value), for example, 10 mm, but not limited thereto. The material of the protective layer 120 may include a metal such as an aluminum alloy, and the thickness of the protective layer 120 may be 3 mm to 5 mm (including the end value), for example, 4 mm, but not limited thereto.
[0068] For example, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 Combined with Figure 3 The multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device may further include a shielding cover 400 provided on the shielding body 100. The shielding cover 400 may include a cover shielding layer and a cover protective layer. The cover protective layer is provided on the outer wall of the cover shielding layer. The thickness of the cover protective layer may be less than the thickness of the cover shielding layer. Among them, the material of the cover shielding layer may be the same as the material of the shielding layer 110, and the thickness of the cover shielding layer may be the same as the thickness of the shielding layer 110. The material of the cover protective layer may be the same as the material of the protective layer 120, and the thickness of the cover protective layer may be the same as the thickness of the protective layer 120.

[0069] In this embodiment, by providing a shielding layer 110 and a protective layer 120 located on the outer wall of the shielding layer 110, the shielding layer 110 has an effective radioactive shielding performance, thereby blocking the interference of external radiation on the detection result, ensuring the stability of the measurement environment, and reducing background radiation and environmental noise, thereby improving the sensitivity, accuracy and efficiency of the measurement, and ensuring that the detected signal comes from the sample to be tested. The protective layer 120 can serve as a carrier of the shielding layer 110 to prevent the shielding layer 110 from being deformed due to collisions, and can prevent operators from being poisoned due to direct contact with the shielding material, thereby improving safety.
[0070] In one embodiment, the weight of the detection device 300 may be less than or equal to 1 kg.

In this way, the detection device 300 can be held and operated by an operator in one hand, and is convenient to carry.
[0071] In one embodiment, the total weight of the shielding body 100 and the Marin cup 200 may be less than or equal to 7 kg. For example, when the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 includes a shielding cover 400, the total weight of the shielding cover 400, the shielding body 100 and the Marin cup 200 may be less than or equal to 7 kg. In this way, the total weight of the shielding body 100 and the Marin cup 200 is small, so that the operator can carry it with one hand, thereby making the movement and transportation of the multifunctional food and water radioactivity detection device 10 more convenient.
