[0066] On this basis, the shielding body further includes a shielding reinforcement enclosure 23, which is mounted on the shielding base 24 and is arranged outside the closing position of the sliding shielding door 17 to improve the radiation shielding performance of the shielding body.

[0067] Furthermore, the shielding body also includes a fixed reinforcement block 14, and the fixed reinforcement block 14 is installed on the shielding reinforcement enclosure 23 to enhance the radiation shielding after the sliding shielding door 17 is opened.

[0068] It should be understood that the walking assembly includes a walking wheel 36, which is installed at the lower end of the fixed reinforcement block 14 to assist the self-walking of the device. It is known that the walking wheel 36 can travel in all directions, flip and lift, and brake.

[0069] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4The sliding shielding door 17 includes two door bodies, both of which are slidably connected to the shielding body, and the two door bodies can be relatively far away or close to each other, so as to quickly open and close the inner cavity of the shielding body.

[0070] Preferably, the opposite sides of the two door bodies are multi-curvature docking structures that cooperate with each other to avoid radiation hazards caused by rays passing through the docking gap.

[0071] It can be understood that each door body is equipped with a linear drive mechanism to realize the automatic opening and closing of the sliding shielding door 17. The linear drive mechanism is a screw pair mechanism 18 to ensure that the movement of the sliding shielding door 17 is sufficiently reliable.

[0072] At the same time, the two linear drive mechanisms are driven by the same opening and closing motor 22 to simplify the structure of the device.
