Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radiation experiments, and in particular to an anti-radiation protection device for animal experiments. Background Art

[0002] In animal experiments, mice are usually used as experimental subjects for radiation experiments. Mice with specific tumors are bred and placed in mouse sleeves to provide radiation protection for the mice. The mouse tumors are then exposed. The accelerator's boron neutron capture therapy device uses high-speed protons to hit the target to produce primary neutrons. The primary neutrons are shaped and slowed down by the beam shaper BSA to obtain an epithermal neutron beam. The epithermal neutron beam is used to irradiate the mouse tumors for experiments. During the experiment, it is used to fix and reduce the radiation dose of the normal tissues of small animals, thereby reducing toxic and side effects.

[0003] As a binary targeted radiotherapy method, boron content plays a vital role, but normal tissues still contain a small amount of boron. In order to reduce damage to normal tissues, it is necessary to design a shield that absorbs thermal neutrons to minimize irradiation to normal tissues while having a fixing effect.

[0004] During the entire experiment, the lost epithermal neutron beam will pass through the mouse sleeve, resulting in a large loss of thermal neutrons.

[0005] Existing mouse sleeves usually require staff to place the mouse into the mouse sleeve and then use a bandage to wrap it to secure it. The mouse cannot be automatically released when the mouse sleeve is opened, and the mouse cannot be automatically secured when the mouse sleeve is closed, which reduces operational efficiency and convenience.

[0022] Specifically, the mouse sleeve includes: The lower sleeve 3 has eight parts, each of which is fixed on one side of the neutron moderator plate 2 and corresponds to the eight sides of the neutron absorption plate 7; The upper sleeve 4 is inserted into the side of the lower sleeve 3 away from the neutron absorption plate 7; A breathing hole 5 is formed through the upper sleeve 4 on a side away from the neutron absorption plate 7; The exposure hole 6 is opened through one side of the lower sleeve 3 close to the central absorption edge.

[0023] The base 1 is inlaid with a track 9, and the lower end of the neutron reflector 8 is fixed with a track wheel 10, and the track wheel 10 can cooperate with the track 9 to provide a sliding guide for the neutron reflector 8, so that the protective device can slide the neutron reflector 8 to the side of the upper sleeve 4 away from the neutron moderator 2 during the experiment.

At the same time, the tumor is aligned with the exposure hole 6 so that the tumor can be placed in the exposure hole 6 and exposed to the thermal neutron area. The upper sleeve 4 needs to be covered on the lower sleeve 3 to protect the mouse and fix the mouse in the mouse sleeve. Then, the neutron reflector 8 is pushed so that it slides along the track 9 using the track wheel 10 to the side of the upper sleeve 4 away from the neutron moderator 2. Then, the irradiation experiment can begin.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the push member includes: The guide groove 11 is symmetrically provided on a side of the lower sleeve 3 close to the upper sleeve 4; An L-plate 12 is provided for guiding in one of the guide grooves 11; A longitudinal rod 13 is disposed in one of the guide slots 11 and is fixedly connected to the lower sleeve 3 and passes through the L-plate 12; The T-tube 14 is provided through the L-plate 12 and is rotatably connected to the L-plate 12 and is located outside the longitudinal rod 13; The push-rotating component is arranged in the guide groove 11.

[0026] Specifically, the lower sleeve 3 can provide a space for the guide groove 11 , the guide groove 11 can provide a movement guide for the L-plate 12 , provide an installation space for the longitudinal rod 13 , and provide a rotation and movement space for the T-tube 14 .

[0028] Specifically, the longitudinal rod 13 can provide an opening space for the threaded groove, the spiral groove can provide a rolling space for the ball 15, and can provide a moving guide for the ball 15, so that the T-tube 14 can use the ball 15 to move along the longitudinal rod 13 and rotate along the spiral groove under the action of external force, the upper sleeve 4 can provide support for the insertion rod 17, the L-plate 12 can provide an opening space for the socket 16, and the socket 16 can provide a plug-in space for the insertion rod 17.

[0029] The support hoop includes: A through passage 18 is provided on the lower sleeve 3 to connect the inner side of the lower sleeve 3 and the guide groove 11; One end of the band 19 is rolled up on the outside of the T-tube 14 and fixed to the T-tube 14, and the other end passes through the through-channel 18 and is fixed on the inside of the lower sleeve 3; The rubber band 20 is plugged into the upper sleeve 4 and is located outside the hoop 19 .

[0030] Specifically, the lower sleeve 3 can provide a space for the through-channel 18, and the through-channel 18 can provide a through-channel and moving space for the hoop 19. The hoop 19 and the rubber band 20 are elastic and can be deformed under the action of external force. They will rebound after the external force disappears. The rubber band 20 can provide a through-channel and support for the hoop 19.

[0031] One end of the rubber band 20 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 21, and a pull ring 22 is fixed on the connection. A socket 23 is provided on the side of the upper sleeve 4 away from the lower sleeve 3, and an insert block 24 is fixed on the side of the connecting plate 21 away from the pull ring 22. The insert block 24 has elasticity and curvature, and is squeezed and inserted into the inner side of the socket 23 to fix the connecting plate 21.

[0032] In actual application of this embodiment, the staff can pull the upper sleeve 4 in the direction away from the neutron absorption plate 7 as needed, so that the upper sleeve 4 can use external force to drive the L plate 12 to move along the longitudinal rod 13 through the insertion rod 17. At the same time, the L plate 12 will drive the T cylinder 14 and the ball 15 to move together, so that the T cylinder 14 can rotate clockwise by the cooperation of the ball 15 and the spiral groove during the movement, thereby releasing the hoop 19 in the wound and tightened state, and during the movement of the upper sleeve 4, the hoop 19 is pulled through the channel 18 to move into the lower sleeve 3 by the rubber band 20, thereby expanding the distance between the hoop 19 and the lower sleeve 3, and then the staff can place the experimental mouse on the lower sleeve 3. Between the sleeve 3 and the cuff 19, adjust the mouse so that the tumor on its body corresponds to the position of the exposure hole 6, and then push the upper sleeve 4 toward the neutron absorption plate 7, so that the upper sleeve 4 pushes the T-tube 14 to move along the longitudinal rod 13 through the L-plate 12, so that the T-tube 14 can rotate counterclockwise using the ball 15 and the spiral groove, and reel in the released cuff 19 during the rotation, so that the cuff 19 can gradually tighten as the upper sleeve 4 moves toward the neutron absorption plate 7, and after the upper sleeve 4 completely covers the lower sleeve 3, move toward the lower sleeve 3, and pull the rubber band 20 to deform, so that the cuff 19 can make the experimental mouse tightly fixed by the cuff 19 under the support of the lower sleeve 3.

[0033] Afterwards, the staff can pull the connecting plate 21 away from the neutron moderator plate 2 through the pull ring 22 as needed, so that the connecting plate 21 drives the plug block 24 to move together, causing the plug block 24 to deform and be pulled out of the socket 23, thereby releasing the connection between the rubber band 20 and the upper sleeve 4, and then pulling the upper sleeve 4 away from the neutron moderator plate 2, so that the upper sleeve 4 drives the plug rod 17 to be pulled out from the socket 16, thereby removing the upper sleeve 4 and opening the opening of the lower sleeve 3, and then using the rubber band 20 to pull the hoop 19 in the direction close to the upper sleeve 4, so that the hoop 19 is stretched and deformed under the support of the T-tube 14 and the lower sleeve 3, thereby loosening the tightly bound mouse and fine-tuning the position of the mouse so that the tumor on the mouse can be placed in the exposure hole 6, and then loosening the hoop 19, so that the hoop 19 can use the rebound force to re-fix the experimental mouse, and then reset the plug rod 17, the upper sleeve 4 and the plug block 24, and the irradiation experiment can be carried out.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective member includes: A movable groove 25 is provided at one end of the lower sleeve 3; The rotating rod 26 is disposed in the movable groove 25 and is rotatably connected to the lower sleeve 3; The coil spring 27 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 26, with one end fixed to the rotating rod and the other end fixed to the lower sleeve 3; The soft film 28 is rolled up on the outside of the rotating rod 26 .

[0037] Specifically, the L-plate 12 can provide support for the outer ring 30 through the connecting rod 31, so that the outer ring 30 can support the support ring 29 in the lower sleeve 3, and can drive the outer ring 30 and the support ring 29 to move together through the connecting rod 31 when the L-plate 12 moves, and the support ring 29 can pull one end of the soft membrane 28 to move together.

[0038] In actual application of this embodiment, after the irradiation experiment on the mouse tumor, the staff needs to pull the upper sleeve 4 in the direction away from the neutron absorption plate 7.

During the movement of the support ring 29, it will move between the placed mouse and the lower sleeve 3, and as it moves, the support ring 29 can push the mouse tumor. At the same time, the cuff 19 will be appropriately relaxed, so that the tumor can slide out of the exposure hole 6 by utilizing the inclination angle of the exposure hole 6 under the push of the support ring 29. At the same time, the mouse will move toward the direction close to the upper sleeve 4, and then as the upper sleeve 4 slides open, the support ring 29 drives the soft membrane 28 to expand between the mouse and the lower sleeve 3, so that the mouse and its tumor can be separated from the lower sleeve 3, thereby facilitating the removal and separation of the tumor and the mouse while opening the upper sleeve 4, and protecting the inner wall of the lower sleeve 3 from contamination.

[0045] During the actual application of this embodiment, the staff can inject alcohol liquid into the liquid storage chamber 39 from the filling cylinder 42 before using the radiation protection device, so that the alcohol liquid fills the liquid storage chamber 39 and half-submerges the filling cylinder 42. When the staff slides and closes the upper sleeve 4 in the direction close to the neutron absorption plate 7, the L plate 12 will be driven by the upper sleeve 4 to drive the T cylinder 14 to move in the direction away from the other end of the liquid capsule 35. During this process, the T cylinder 14 will use the ball 15 and the spiral groove to rotate while moving, so that the T cylinder 14 can drive the liquid capsule 35 to expand, and generate suction during the expansion process to open the channel of the one-way valve 37 connected to the hose 38. At the same time, the channel of the one-way valve 37 connected to the liquid pipe will block the air and liquid in the liquid pipe from entering the liquid capsule 35 through the hose 38 and the L tube. 40 and the water hole suck the alcohol liquid in the liquid storage chamber 39 into the inner side of the liquid capsule 35. When the staff slides and opens the upper sleeve 4 in the direction away from the neutron absorption plate 7, the L plate 12 will drive the T-tube 14 to move together, so that the T-tube 14 moves toward the other end of the liquid capsule 35, and the T-tube 14 will rotate in conjunction with the ball 15 and the spiral groove during the movement, so that the T-tube 14 can squeeze the liquid capsule 35 to fold during the sliding opening of the upper sleeve 4, and at the same time, the liquid capsule 35 is twisted by rotation, so that the alcohol liquid in the liquid capsule 35 can enter the inner side of the water pipe under the action of squeezing, and pass through the water pipe into the inner side of the waterway, so that the alcohol liquid can fill the waterway and enter the nozzle 33, and finally pass through the nozzle 33 and be sprayed to the inner wall of the lower sleeve 3 and the upper sleeve 4 as the upper sleeve 4 slides and opens.

[0046] Working principle: the neutron moderator plate 2 slows down epithermal neutrons into thermal neutrons, the neutron absorption plate 7 absorbs excess neutrons to reduce irradiation to normal tissues of the mouse, and the neutron reflector 8 adjusts its position by sliding to reflect thermal neutrons to the tumor area, accurately controlling the irradiation dose. The mouse sleeve exposes the tumor to the thermal neutron zone through the exposure hole 6, and other parts are shielded from radiation by the neutron absorption plate 7 and the sleeve structure. The MgF2 neutron moderator plate 2 optimizes the thermal neutron dose, and the neutron absorption plate 7 shields normal tissues to ensure that only the tumor is exposed to the thermal neutron zone, minimizing irradiation damage to other parts of the mouse.

[0047] The octagonal arrangement design is suitable for conducting multiple experiments in parallel, and the layout of 6 exposure holes and 5 breathing holes takes into account both functionality and the survival needs of mice.

[0048] The upper sleeve 4 is pushed and pulled to drive the L plate 12 to move along the guide groove 11, and the T cylinder 14 rotates in coordination with the spiral groove of the longitudinal rod 13 through the ball 15 to control the tightening or loosening of the cuff 19. When tightened, the cuff 19 and the lower sleeve 3 form a restraining space to fix the mouse; when loosened, the rubber band 20 elastically assists the cuff 19 to rebound and release the mouse. When the upper sleeve 4 is opened, the connecting rod 31 drives the support ring 29 to unfold the soft membrane 28 to separate the mouse from the inner wall of the sleeve to avoid contamination; at the same time, the tumor is pushed out of the exposure hole 6 for easy removal. The upper sleeve 4 pushes and pulls to drive the cuff 19 to automatically tighten or release, without the need for manual binding, thereby simplifying the operation process.

[0049] The soft membrane 28 automatically unfolds when the sleeve is opened, physically isolating the mouse from the inner wall to avoid biological contamination.

[0050] The upper sleeve 4 can be removed by releasing the insert 24 through the pull ring 22, which simplifies the mouse taking and placing process and improves the experimental throughput.

[0051] During the opening and closing process of the sleeve, the T-cylinder 14 rotates and squeezes the liquid capsule 35, and the alcohol in the liquid storage chamber 39 is atomized and sprayed through the nozzle 33, and the cotton brush 34 wipes the inner wall of the sleeve to achieve cleaning and disinfection; when the sleeve is closed, the T-cylinder 14 rotates and stretches the liquid capsule 35 to inhale alcohol; when the sleeve is opened, the liquid capsule 35 is squeezed out to discharge alcohol, achieving automatic cleaning. Each opening and closing of the sleeve triggers the alcohol spray and cotton brush 34 to wipe, maintaining a sterile internal environment and reducing the risk of cross contamination. No external power is required, and the liquid capsule 35 is squeezed by mechanical movement to complete the detergent delivery, which is energy-saving and highly reliable.

[0052] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
