Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of radiation detection technology, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a radiation detection sensitivity image quality meter made of boron-containing polyethylene material. Background Art
[0002] Image quality meters are important tools for inspecting and quantitatively evaluating the quality of radiographic films. They are usually made of materials that are the same or similar in material or absorption coefficient to the product being inspected, and are manually pre-set with a series of indicative structures with different thicknesses (such as wires, holes, grooves, etc.). However, the values indicated by the image quality meter are not completely equivalent to the size of natural defects that can be detected.
[0003] While the required models and series of image quality meters (IQIs) for radiographic testing of common metal materials are readily available on the market, those required for testing specialized metal materials like boron-containing polyethylene are not readily available. Without advanced DR testing equipment, traditional radiographic testing requires the manufacture of an IQI made from the same material as the material being tested, in accordance with standards, to assess product quality.
[0004] According to HB / Z60 requirements, molded products undergo X-ray inspection for internal defects, including pores, inclusions, and cracks. Within any 100mm x 100mm area, no more than five defects between 2mm and 5mm are detected, and no more than one defect between 5mm and 10mm is detected. Improper selection of an image quality meter with the wrong sensitivity and inaccurate defect assessment can lead to serious radiation accidents. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 This application is described in further detail.
[0037] The embodiment of the present application discloses a method for manufacturing a radiographically sensitive image quality meter for boron-containing polyethylene material.
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A method for manufacturing a boron-containing polyethylene material radiation detection sensitivity image quality meter comprises the following steps:
[0040] S1: Use wire cutting equipment to cut the product residue into a rectangular image quality meter base block 1. The product thickness is less than 70 mm. The length of the base block 1 is 40 mm, the width of the base block 1 is 10 mm, and the thickness of the base block 1 is 2 mm.
[0041] S2: The depths of the seven grooves 2 are calculated by an arithmetic progression, and are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 mm, respectively. The tolerance of the arithmetic progression is 0.1 mm.
[0042] S3: seven grooves 2 are machined at equal intervals on the upper surface of the base block 1 using a slotting mechanism. The width of the grooves 2 is 1.5 mm, and the distance between any two adjacent grooves 2 is 3 mm.
[0043] The implementation principle of the method for manufacturing a radiographically sensitive image quality meter for boron-containing polyethylene material in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: using product leftovers of the same material to manufacture an image quality meter with the same groove shape as the product's absorption characteristics, calculating the depth of the groove 2 through an arithmetic progression and processing the image quality meter, thereby facilitating accurate radiographic detection of the special metal material of boron-containing polyethylene.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the product thickness is between 70-200 mm, and the thickness of the base block 1 is 5 mm. The depths of the seven grooves 2 are 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 mm, respectively, and the tolerance of the arithmetic progression is 0.2 mm.
[0046] Example 3:
[0047] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment discloses the specific structure of the slotting mechanism. The slotting mechanism includes a base plate 3 fixedly mounted on a workbench. The base plate 3 has a convex vertical cross-section. A receiving groove 12 is defined in the middle of the raised top wall of the base plate 3. The base block 1 is placed in the receiving groove 12. A fixing assembly 4 is mounted on the base plate 3 to secure the base block 1 in the receiving groove 12.
[0048] Specifically, the fixing assembly 4 includes two sets of threaded rods 41 and push plates 42. The two threaded rods 41 are threadedly mounted in the base plate 3, and the two push plates 42 are slidably mounted in the base plate 3. The ends of the two threaded rods 41 are rotatably connected to the two push plates 42, and the ends of the threaded rods 41 away from the push plates 42 are fixedly mounted with knobs 19. The push plates 42 move into the receiving groove 12 on the side away from the threaded rods 41. The two push plates 42 are respectively located in the adjacent inner side walls of the receiving groove 12, and the two push plates 42 move to abut the adjacent side walls of the base block 1.
[0049] Place the base block 1 into the receiving groove 12 and turn the two knobs 19. The two knobs 19 drive the two push plates 42 to move toward the receiving groove 12 through the threaded rods 41. When the push plates 42 move and contact the base block 1, the base block 1 is firmly pressed against the receiving groove 12, and the base block 1 is quickly fixed.
[0050] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Four guide posts 5 are fixedly mounted on the raised top wall in the middle of the bottom plate 3. A lifting seat 6 is slidably mounted on the four guide posts 5 in the vertical direction. The lifting seat 6 is located directly above the base block 1. A first handle 17 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the lifting seat 6. An elastic member 16 is sleeved on each guide post 5. In this application, the elastic member 16 can be a spring. The upper and lower ends of the elastic member 16 respectively abut the bottom wall of the lifting seat 6 and the top wall of the bottom plate 3. The elastic member 16 can push the lifting seat 6 to move upward, thereby facilitating the placement and fixation of the base block 1 in the receiving groove 12.
[0051] A sliding seat 7 is mounted horizontally on the bottom wall of the lifting seat 6, with a second handle 18 fixedly mounted at its end. A slot 13 is defined on the bottom wall of the sliding seat 7, with one end open. Eight spacers 14 are mounted within the slot 13, slidably mounted on the sliding seat 7. A sharpening blade 8 is mounted between each pair of adjacent spacers 14, with the seven sharpening blades 8 increasing in height. The sharpening blades 8 are 1.5 mm thick, and the spacers 14 are 3 mm thick.
[0052] A locking member 15 is installed within the sliding seat 7. This member passes through multiple spacers 14 and the sharpener 8, securing it to the sliding shaft 7. In this application, the locking member 15 can be a bolt. Using the locking member allows multiple sharpeners 8 to be secured to the bottom of the sliding seat 7. Two adjacent spacers 14 clamp each sharpener 8, enhancing the secure installation of the sharpeners 8. Once the locking member 15 is released, the sharpener 8 can be removed from the sliding seat 7, facilitating replacement of sharpeners 8 with different heights and thicknesses.
[0053] The top wall of the base is located on both sides of the protrusion and is fixed with positioning rods 9. The two positioning rods 9 pass through the two ends of the lifting seat 6 in the vertical direction. A positioning sleeve 10 is threaded on each positioning rod 9, and each positioning rod 9 is engraved with a scale line 11 along its own axis.
[0054] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: when processing the groove 2, the base block 1 is first placed in the receiving groove 12 of the bottom plate 3, and the two knobs 19 are turned. The two push plates 42 firmly fix the base block 1 in the receiving groove 12, and then the positioning sleeve 10 is rotated to accurately adjust the height of the positioning sleeve 10 according to the scale line 11; after the adjustment is completed, the lifting seat 6 is pressed downward by the first handle 17, so that the lifting seat 6 drives the grinding knife 8 downward through the sliding seat 7 until the grinding knife 8 is tightly abutted against the upper surface of the base block 1; finally, the sliding seat 7 is driven by the second handle 18 to slide back and forth, and the sliding seat 7 drives multiple grinding knives 8 to move accordingly. In this way, multiple grooves 2 can be processed on the base block 1 at the same time, providing an efficient and convenient way to manufacture an image quality meter.
[0055] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present disclosure may be modified and varied in various ways. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, and the like made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
