[0064] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0065] In the following description, numerous details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in detail to avoid making the embodiments of the present invention difficult to understand.

[0066] See also Figures 1 to 22 The present invention proposes a monitoring device for aerosol nuclide activity in nuclear facilities, which can be applied to the monitoring scenario of airborne radioactive effluents discharged by nuclear power plants. The present invention can perform online measurement of aerosol nuclide identification and other radioactive activity concentrations in airborne effluents of nuclear facilities, replacing sampling and laboratory analysis work and reducing manual input. The following is a detailed description through specific embodiments.

[0067] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a monitoring device for aerosol nuclide activity in a nuclear facility, which may include a detector housing 10, a radiation detector 20, a paper feed mechanism 30, and a shielding assembly. The detector housing 10 is the installation body of the monitoring device, and the detector housing 10 may be used to install the radiation detector 20, the paper feed mechanism 30, and the shielding assembly.

[0068] Specifically, the outer wall of the detector housing 10 is provided with a detector interface 110, an air intake pipe interface 120 and an exhaust pipe interface. Figure 1 As shown, the detector interface 110 can be used to externally mount the radiation detector 20. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air inlet pipe interface 120 can be used to connect to an air inlet pipe 121, and the air inlet pipe 121 is used to receive the airborne effluent of the nuclear facility and temporarily store it in the detector housing 10. Figure 3 As shown, the exhaust pipe interface can be used to connect to an exhaust duct 130 externally, and the exhaust duct 130 can be used to discharge the airborne effluent of the nuclear facility in the detector housing 10.

[0069] Specifically, the radiation detector 20 may be connected to the detector interface 110. The radiation detector 20 may be a cadmium zinc telluride (CZT, CdZnTe) semiconductor detector, and is used for nuclide identification and nuclide activity concentration measurement of airborne effluent aerosol. The cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) semiconductor detector is a new type of semiconductor detector. Compared with the traditional sodium iodide (NaI) detector and high purity germanium (HPGe) detector, the cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) semiconductor detector has high energy resolution, large linear range of measurement, relatively small volume, and can work at room temperature.

[0070] Specifically, the paper feeding mechanism 30 is disposed inside the detector housing 10. The paper feeding mechanism 30 may include at least a filter paper 310 and a moving assembly 320. The filter paper 310 may provide a filtering environment for aerosol particles in the air intake pipe 121, and the aerosol particles may be deposited on the filter paper 310. The filter paper 310 may extend between the detection end of the radiation detector 20 and the air intake pipe interface 120, such as Figure 1 As shown, a portion of the filter paper 310 may be arranged in a straight line segment, and the rest of the filter paper 310 may be arranged in an arc line, so that the filter paper 310 can be turned and moved under the action of the moving assembly 320. The output end of the moving assembly 320 is connected to the filter paper 310. The paper feeding mechanism 30 is used to move the filter paper 310 at the air inlet pipe interface 120 to the detection end of the radiation detector 20, that is, the paper feeding mechanism 30 is used to move the filter paper 310 at the air inlet pipe interface 120 to the detector interface 110.

[0071] Specifically, the shielding assembly may include an external shielding body 410 and an internal shielding body 420, and the shielding body assembly is used to shield external radiation. Figure 1 and Figure 2The radiation detector 20 and the external shielding body 410 shown can be arranged outside the detector housing 10, and the external shielding body 410 is sleeved outside the radiation detector 20, and the side wall of the external shielding body 410 is provided with ventilation holes 4100. Since the radiation detector 20 needs ventilation and heat dissipation and cannot be sealed, the ventilation holes 4100 can play a role in ventilation and heat dissipation. The internal shielding body 420 is arranged inside the detector housing 10, and the filter paper 310 can be located between the detection end of the radiation detector 20 and the internal shielding body 420. The filter paper 310 is acid-resistant and hydrophobic, the thickness of the filter paper 310 can be 0.1 mm, the width of the filter paper 310 can be 47 mm, the length of the filter paper 310 can be 20 meters, and the effective sampling diameter of the filter paper 310 can be 20 mm.

[0072] It can be seen from this that Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment, filter paper 310 is provided at the air inlet interface 120, filter paper 310 is also provided at the detector interface 110, and a radiation detector 20 is provided at the top of the detector interface 110, and filter paper 310 and an internal shielding body 420 are provided at the bottom of the detector interface 110 in sequence. The interior of the detector housing 10 is sealed, and the inflow and outflow of airborne effluents of the nuclear facility are realized only between the air inlet interface 120 and the exhaust duct 130, and the detector interface 110 is in a sealed state. As for the radiation detector 20 and the shielding body assembly, since a ventilation hole 4100 is provided on the external shielding body 410, the radiation detector 20 is not sealed, and ventilation and heat dissipation can be performed.

[0073] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the detector interface 110 and the air inlet pipe interface 120 may be provided at the top of the detector housing 10, and the exhaust pipe interface 130 may be provided on the side wall of the detector housing 10. Figure 2 As shown, a detector bracket 102 and a detector buffer pad 103 may be installed at the bottom of the detector housing 10. The detector bracket 102 is connected to the bottom of the detector housing 10, and the detector buffer pad 103 is connected to the bottom of the detector bracket 102 to reduce wear between the detector bracket 102 and the ground.

[0074] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, a detector rear cover 101 is provided on one (rear) side of the detector housing 10 , and on the other (front) side of the detector housing 10 , a paper feeding mechanism 30 is pull-out connected to the detector housing 10 .

[0075] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, in the paper feeding mechanism 30, the paper feeding mechanism 30 may include a front cover plate 301, a plum blossom hand wheel 302, a paper feeding handle 303, a mounting stud 304, a guide member 305 and a paper feeding mounting plate 311.

[0076] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the front cover 301 is the installation body of the paper feeding mechanism 30, and the front cover 301 is provided with a plum blossom hand wheel 302 and a paper feeding handle 303, which play the role of pulling the front cover 301. Figure 7 As shown, the mounting stud 304 is connected to the inner side of the front cover 301, and the mounting stud 304 is used to connect the paper feeding mounting plate 311, and the paper feeding mounting plate 311 is used to install the filter paper 310. The guide member 305 is arranged on the inner side of the filter paper 310, and plays a guiding role when the paper feeding structure 30 is pulled and connected to the detector housing 10.

[0077] See also Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the paper feeding mechanism 30 further includes a sealing ring 330. A sealing ring 330 is provided on a side of the paper feeding mechanism 30 close to the detector housing 10. The sealing ring 330 can be provided on the front cover plate 301. The sealing ring 330 serves to seal between the detector housing 10 and the paper feeding structure 30.

[0078] See also Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the moving assembly 320 includes a driving shaft 321 , a driving shaft nut 3210 , a driving motor 3211 , a driven shaft 322 and a driven shaft nut 3220 .

The output end of the driving motor 3211 is connected to the driving shaft 321 to drive the driving shaft 321 to rotate. The filter paper 310 is connected to the outside of the driving shaft 321 and the driven shaft 322. The driving motor 3211 can drive the driving shaft 321 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving shaft 321 can drive the filter paper 310 thereon to move, and the driven shaft 322 rotates with the movement of the filter paper 310, so that the driving motor 3211 can move the filter paper 310 at the air inlet pipe interface 120 to the detection end of the radiation detector 20.

[0080] See also Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, the moving assembly 320 further includes a filter paper cylinder 323, a guide shaft 324, a counting shaft 325, a counting shaft pressing piece 3252 and a counting assembly.

[0081] Specifically, a filter paper cylinder 323 may be connected to the outside of the driving shaft 321, and a filter paper cylinder 323 may be connected to the outside of the driven shaft 322. The filter paper cylinder 323 of the driving shaft 321 and the filter paper cylinder of the driven shaft 322 may be sleeved with filter paper 310 to achieve the installation of the filter paper 310. The counting shaft 325 is arranged between the driving shaft 321 and the driven shaft 322 and is located on one side of the filter paper 310. The driving shaft 321, the driven shaft 322 and the counting shaft 325 rotate synchronously.

[0082] Specifically, the counting assembly can calculate the moving distance of the filter paper 310 based on the number of rotations of the counting shaft 325. For example, the counting assembly can include a gear cylinder 3251 and a photoelectric sensor 326, wherein the gear cylinder 3251 is sleeved and connected to the outer side of the counting shaft 325, and the photoelectric sensor 326 is arranged on one side of the counting shaft 325, and the detection end of the photoelectric sensor 326 faces the gear of the gear cylinder 3251.

[0083] Specifically, inside the detector housing 10, the driving shaft 321 and the counting shaft 325 are located on a side close to the radiation detector 20, and the driven shaft 322 is located on a side close to the air inlet interface 120. The direction between the detection end of the radiation detector 20 and the air inlet interface 120 is recorded as the connecting direction, and the extending direction of the filter paper 310 is parallel to the connecting direction. Figure 6 As shown, the guide shaft 324 is arranged on a side close to the air intake pipe interface 120 , and the guide shaft 324 serves to turn the filter paper 310 , and the guide shaft 324 can also tighten the filter paper 310 to ensure the normal transmission of the filter paper 310 .

The damping pressure plate 3225 limits the damping seat 3222, and the damping pad 3226 is arranged at the top of the damping pressure plate 3225.

[0086] See also Fig.10 In one embodiment of the present invention, a sealing gasket 210 is provided at the bottom of the radiation detector 20, and the sealing gasket 210 can be connected to the detector interface 110, and the sealing gasket 210 plays a role in sealing between the radiation detector 20 and the detector housing 10. A detector inner sleeve 220 is provided at the top of the radiation detector 20, and the detector inner sleeve 220 plays a role in protecting the radiation detector 20.

[0087] Specifically, the radiation detector 20 may include a detector module, an electronic module, a cooling fan, a housing structure, and related connecting parts.

[0088] Among them, the detector module uses 4 22mm×22mm×10mm cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector modules. Each cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector module consists of 11×11, a total of 121 pixels, with a pixel size of 2mm, an overall size of 44mm×44mm×10mm, and a total of 484 pixels. For example, the pixel electrode structure is used to achieve single-stage charge sensitivity, and the energy resolution of the gamma-ray energy spectrum obtained from a single pixel electrode is significantly improved compared to the traditional flat electrode detector. In order to further improve the energy resolution of the detector module, the overall detector crystal is simulated and cut into several individual elements in three-dimensional space, and then the charge collection efficiency of each element is calibrated and corrected, thereby eliminating the difference in charge collection efficiency caused by carrier resurrection, material inhomogeneity, etc. The energy resolution of the detector module does not exceed 0.9% (Cs-137, 662keV).

[0089] Specifically, since the CZT detector module needs to dissipate heat, the shell structure is made of aluminum alloy, and heat sinks are installed around the detector module, which cooperates with the internal cooling fan to facilitate rapid heat dissipation. Designing metal protection structures around the CZT detector module not only facilitates the installation and fixation of the detector module, but also prevents the CZT detector module from being damaged during installation, transportation and use, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the CZT detector module.

[0090] Specifically, the cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector module can use an RJ45 network port to communicate data with the outside, and a 2-core LEMO connector can be used to power the cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector module.
