[0048] An inner flow channel and an outer flow channel are formed inside the sleeve assembly 1; the inner flow channel and the outer flow channel are filled with fluid;

[0049] The circulation drive assembly 2 includes a support pipe section 21, a guide pipe 22 and a drive mechanism 23. The guide pipe 22 is sleeved with the support pipe section 21 outside. The drive mechanism 23 is arranged at one end of the support pipe section 21, and the other end of the support pipe section 21 is arranged on the open end of the sleeve assembly 1.

[0050] The electric heating component 3 is arranged in the sleeve component 1;

[0051] The circulation drive assembly 2 is used to apply a forced circulation drive force to make the fluid circulate between the inner flow channel and the outer flow channel to set different test temperatures.

[0057] Specifically, the opening on the side wall of the support pipe section 21 is connected to the fourth pipe body.

[0059] The electric heating component 3 includes a hoisting end and a connecting end, and the sample chamber component 4 is installed on the electric heating component 3, that is, the sample chamber component 4 is installed on the connecting end of the electric heating component 3. During installation, the electric heating component 3 and the sample chamber component 4 are hoisted into the casing component 1 through the open end of the casing component 1 by hoisting the hoisting end of the electric heating component 3. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the electric heating component 3 and the sample chamber component 4, facilitates the replacement of irradiated samples of different materials, and also facilitates the sample chamber component 4 to enter and exit the casing component 1.

[0091] The transmission shaft 2301 is a structure with two solid ends and a hollow middle part, which makes the transmission shaft 2301 lightweight without affecting the strength of the transmission shaft 2301 itself; at the same time, due to the hollow setting, the diffusion effect of high-temperature gas is reduced as much as possible. The transmission shaft 2301 is a hollow shaft, and the heat conduction area is reduced by reducing the cross section of the transmission shaft 2301, thereby reducing heat conduction.

[0092] Specifically, a heat-insulating shaft sleeve is mounted on the hollow part of the transmission shaft 2301, and a small gap is retained between the transmission shaft 2301 and the heat-insulating shaft sleeve, which can effectively reduce the flow of high-temperature gas; and minimize the high temperature inside the irradiation device from being transmitted to the non-contact magnetic coupling 2302 and the driving member 2303, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the non-contact magnetic coupling 2302 and the driving member 2303.

The side wall of the interlayer pipe section 1204 is provided with a threading hole, which is connected to the extended connecting pipe 502 to connect the sealed junction box assembly 5 to the sleeve assembly 1.

[0099] After the cables pass through the extended connecting tube 502, the insulating material can be used to fill and seal it, so as to minimize the diffusion of the high-temperature gas inside the irradiation device into the sealed junction box assembly 5, reduce the temperature inside the sealed junction box assembly, and reduce the impact of high temperature on the sealing material. Multiple extended connecting tubes 502 can be provided to increase the number of cables that can be accommodated and improve the structural stability.

[0105] Start the electric heating component 3 and the circulation drive component 2, and at the same time, introduce gas into the inner flow channel through the third tube body 1206. Under the action of the forced circulation driving force of the circulation drive component 2, the gas flows downward from the internal first flow channel formed by the shunt tube 13, flows out from the bottom of the shunt tube 13, turns back at the semicircular head at the bottom of the inner sleeve 12, flows upward along the external first flow channel, the interlayer hole flow channel 1206, and the external second flow channel, and flows back into the internal first flow channel through the opening on the guide tube 22 to realize gas circulation.
