[0084] The technical features disclosed by the embodiments of the present application can be combined arbitrarily without conflict, and the technical solutions obtained by the combination belong to the disclosure of the embodiments of the present application.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 The portable neutron personal dosimeter comprises:

[0086] a silicon semiconductor detector unit for detecting neutron radiation and generating a corresponding electrical signal;

[0087] The preamplifier circuit unit is connected to the silicon semiconductor detector unit to process the detected neutron radiation electrical signal and convert it into a pulse signal;

[0088] The information processing unit is configured to be connected to the preamplifier circuit unit to process pulse signals and output neutron dose information;

[0089] The power supply circuit unit is used to provide appropriate voltages to the silicon semiconductor detector unit, the preamplifier circuit unit, and the information processing unit, respectively.

[0090] The display unit is connected to the information processing unit and is used to display neutron dose information;

[0091] The alarm unit is connected to the information processing unit and is used to output alarm signals.

[0092] Typically, neutrons enter a silicon semiconductor detector and undergo a nuclear reaction, producing charged particle pairs. These high-energy ionized particles enter the detector's sensitive region, generating electron-hole pairs (the number of which is proportional to the energy of the neutrons deposited in the sensitive region). The movement of electrons and holes under a reverse bias voltage causes changes in the induced charge on the two electrodes, which are ultimately collected in the form of electrical pulses to form the detector's response signal.

[0093] The silicon semiconductor detector unit detects neutrons and outputs electrical signals. These signals are amplified by the preamplifier circuit unit and converted into digital signals. The MCU in the information processing unit then counts these signals. The battery circuit unit supplies power to other functional units. The display unit shows the measurement results. The alarm unit provides alarm information. The buttons provide the operation interface. The LED indicator shows the working status and provides a light alarm. The buzzer provides an audible alarm.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the preamplifier circuit unit includes: a preamplifier module for amplifying the neutron radiation signal; a shaping filter module for filtering the amplified neutron radiation signal; a voltage amplifier module for amplifying the filtered radiation signal; and a discrimination comparator module for converting the amplified neutron radiation signal into a stable radiation signal. Typically, the preamplifier circuit unit processes electrical pulse signals to facilitate the radiation particle counting function. It includes a detector interface and pre-acquisition stage, a preamplifier, a filter, a voltage amplifier, a discrimination comparator, and an output and interface stage. It receives weak signals from the detector, amplifies them, filters them, discriminates them, shapes them, and outputs them, ultimately converting them into pulses recognizable by a digital system.

[0095] Some embodiments disclose portable neutron personal dosimeters, such as Figure 3As shown, the preamplifier module comprises: an operational amplifier U6; the fifth interface end and the sixth interface end of the operational amplifier U6 are connected, and are further connected with the power filter magnetic bead FB1, and the power filter magnetic bead FB1 is further connected with the VCC_3V3A power supply; the fifth interface end and the sixth interface end of the operational amplifier U6 are further connected with the parallelly connected power filter capacitors C24, C25 and C26, and the parallelly connected power filter capacitors C24, C25 and C26 are further grounded; the third interface end of the operational amplifier U6 is connected with the static protection diode D5, the feedback resistor R28 and the source electrode of the field effect transistor Q7 in sequence; the other end of the feedback resistor R28 is connected with the power supply VCC_3V3A; the static protection diode D5 is further grounded; the drain electrode of the field effect transistor Q7 is connected with the parallelly connected resistor R43 and capacitor C44, and the other end of the parallelly connected resistor R43 and capacitor C44 is grounded; the fourth interface end of the operational amplifier U6 is connected with the parallelly connected compensation filter capacitor C39 and compensation filter resistor R37, and the parallelly connected compensation filter capacitor C39 and compensation filter resistor R37 are further connected with the second interface end of the operational amplifier U6 and grounded; the fourth interface end of the operational amplifier U6 is further connected with the feedback resistor R29, and the other end of the feedback resistor R29 is connected with the fifth interface end and the sixth interface end of the operational amplifier U6; the gate electrode of the field effect transistor Q7 is connected with the parallelly connected phase compensation resistor R26 and phase compensation capacitor C30, and the parallelly connected phase compensation resistor R26 and phase compensation capacitor C30 are further connected with the first interface end of the operational amplifier U6, and the first interface end of the operational amplifier U6 is further connected with the input end of the subsequent circuit; the gate electrode of the field effect transistor Q7 is further connected with the direct current blocking coupling capacitor C35, and the direct current blocking coupling capacitor C35 is further connected with the voltage dividing current limiting resistor R31, voltage dividing current limiting resistor R27 and VCCA_10V power supply in sequence; the coaxial interface J2 is connected between the direct current blocking coupling capacitor C35 and the voltage dividing current limiting resistor R31, and the coaxial interface J2 is grounded; the input filter capacitor C29 is connected between the voltage dividing current limiting resistor R31 and the voltage dividing current limiting resistor R27, and the input filter capacitor C29 is further grounded; the input filter capacitor C27 is connected between the voltage dividing current limiting resistor R27 and the VCCA_10V power supply, and the input filter capacitor C27 is further grounded.

[0096] Generally, in the preamplifier module circuit:

[0097] The preamplifier module is based on the charge sensitivity amplification circuit of the operational amplifier ADA4807 chip, and adopts a complete conditioning circuit of "filtering → protection → precise amplification → power purification" for the weak high-frequency signal collected by the detector. The operational amplifier ADA4807 is used to realize high-precision amplification, so as to provide a clean and appropriate amplitude signal for the subsequent processing, and solve the problems of weak signal interference and difficult amplification. The ADA4807 used by the operational amplifier U6 is a high-speed, low-noise and high-precision operational amplifier, which has high bandwidth and low offset voltage, and can effectively amplify weak signals while maintaining precision.

[0098] The J2 coaxial interface is a COAXIAL socket, which receives external weak signals. The coaxial structure has strong anti-interference performance and is suitable for transmitting high-frequency and small-amplitude signals. The input filter capacitors C27 and C29 (10 nF) cooperate with the voltage dividing and current limiting resistors R27 and R31 to filter high-frequency noise in the input signal and form a simple RC filter to preliminarily purify the signal. The voltage dividing and current limiting resistors R27 (100 KΩ) and R31 (100 MΩ) adjust the amplitude of the input signal, and the high resistance characteristic of R31 can reduce the load impact on the weak input signal.

[0099] The blocking direct current coupling capacitor C35 (1 nF) blocks the direct current component in the input signal and only allows alternating current signals to pass through, so as to ensure that the subsequent amplifier works at a suitable direct current level. The BF862 junction field effect transistor JFET Q7 provides input protection and impedance matching. The high input impedance characteristic of the JFET can further reduce the load on the previous stage signal, and can also provide a certain clamping protection when the voltage is too high. The static protection diode D5 can use PESD7V3L1UG to realize ESD protection, prevent static and surge from damaging the subsequent amplifier through the input port, and clamp the overvoltage within a safe range.

[0100] The feedback resistors R28 (1 KΩ) and R29 (10 KΩ) and the operational amplifier U6 form a same-phase proportional amplification circuit to amplify the weak input signal to a suitable amplitude. The compensation filter capacitor C39 (0.1 μF) and the compensation filter resistor R37 (20 KΩ) improve the frequency response (such as phase compensation) of the operational amplifier U6, avoid self-oscillation, and filter high-frequency noise after amplification. The phase compensation capacitor C30 (1 pF) is connected in parallel in the feedback loop to further optimize the phase margin of the amplifier and ensure the stability of the high-frequency signal amplification.

[0101] The VCC_3V3A power supply provides 3.3V to the operational amplifier U6 and its peripheral circuits, and must ensure low noise and high stability. The power supply filter bead FB1 (CBM160808U121T ferrite bead) suppresses high-frequency noise on the power lines, ensuring a clean operating power supply for the op-amp. Power supply filter capacitors C24 (1nF), C25 (0.1μF), and C26 (10μF) provide all-around filtering from high to low frequencies. The 1nF capacitor C24 filters out high-frequency noise, the 0.1μF capacitor C25 filters out intermediate frequency ripple, and the 10μF capacitor C26 stabilizes the power supply voltage to cope with dynamic current changes in the op-amp.

[0102] The TP9 test point is the output signal test point. It can be used to measure the amplitude and frequency of the amplified signal with an oscilloscope, and is used to debug and verify the circuit performance.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shaping filter module includes: an operational amplifier U7A; a power filter bead FB2 is connected to the eighth interface of the operational amplifier U7A, and the power filter bead FB2 is further connected to a VCC_3V3A power supply; the eighth interface of the operational amplifier U7A is also connected to parallel power filter capacitors C28 and C31, and the parallel power filter capacitors C28 and C31 are further grounded to AGND; the third interface of the operational amplifier U7A is sequentially connected to a phase compensation / filter capacitor C38, a voltage divider current limiting resistor R34, a high-frequency filter capacitor C37, a voltage divider current limiting surge resistor R33, a filter capacitor C33, and a filter resistor R32; the phase compensation / filter capacitor C38 is further grounded; a resistor R40 and a capacitor C36 are connected between the voltage divider current limiting resistor R33 and the filter capacitor C33, and the resistor R40 is further grounded; the capacitor C36 is further connected to the output of the preceding circuit. Next, the filter resistor R32 is further connected to the output of the preamplifier circuit, for example, to the first interface terminal of the operational amplifier U6 in the preamplifier module; the second interface terminal of the operational amplifier U7A is connected to feedback resistors R44 and R47; the feedback resistor R47 is further grounded, the feedback resistor R44 is further connected to the feedback resistor R45, and the feedback resistor R45 is further connected to the first interface terminal of the operational amplifier U7A; the high-frequency filter capacitor C37 is further connected between the feedback resistors R44 and R45; the first interface terminal of the operational amplifier U7A is further connected to the capacitor C34, the capacitor C34 is further connected to the parallel phase compensation capacitor C42 and the phase compensation resistor R41, and the other end of the parallel phase compensation capacitor C42 and the phase compensation resistor R41 is grounded to AGND; the pin leading out from the capacitor C34 is the amplified signal output terminal, which can be connected to the subsequent circuit.

[0104] Generally, the shaping filter module is mainly used for filtering, amplifying and noise suppression of the input signal, and is mainly used for precise processing scenes of weak signals. For the complete conditioning circuit of "filtering → precise amplification → power purification" of weak signals, the operational amplifier U7A is used to realize low-noise and high-precision amplification, and to provide a clean and appropriate amplitude signal for the subsequent processing circuit. Among them, the operational amplifier U7A can use ADA4505-2, which is a low-noise, high-precision, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier, with low offset voltage and high common-mode rejection ratio, suitable for weak signal amplification and high-precision signal conditioning, to ensure that the amplified signal is not distorted and has low noise.

[0105] In the shaping filter module, the filter resistor R32 (500Ω) and the filter capacitor C33 (1nF) form an RC filter network to filter out high-frequency noise in the input signal, and preliminarily purify the signal, while forming a simple signal attenuation / impedance matching. The voltage dividing current limiting resistors R33 (3KΩ) and R34 (38KΩ) further adjust the input signal amplitude, adapt to the input range of the operational amplifier ADA4505-2, and avoid overload; at the same time, the high-precision resistor ensures the stability of the voltage division ratio and does not introduce additional errors; the high-frequency filter capacitor C37 (220pF) cooperates with the voltage dividing current limiting resistor R34 to strengthen the high-frequency noise filtering, making the signal input to the operational amplifier more pure;

[0145] The source S of the MOS field effect tube Q4 is provided with a ground GND, and the source S of the MOS field effect tube Q4 is provided with a resistor pull-down R10 and a current limiting resistor R8.

[0146] The pull-down resistor R10 and the current limiting resistor R8 are connected between the PWC point, and the second interface end of the Schottky diode Q2 and the resistor R1 are connected between the PWT point; usually, the switch control circuit module controls the MOS tube switch circuit of the battery power supply through a digital signal, and uses the complementary characteristics of the P-channel and N-channel MOS tubes, and cooperates with the diode and the resistor to realize the level logic conversion and the power supply control.

[0147] Figure 11 In the formula, Q3 is a P-channel MOS tube, which can be AO3401A, and is used as a main power supply switch, the source (S) of which is connected with the battery power supply BAT+, the drain (D) of which is connected with the load through VCC_BAT, and the gate (G) of which is controlled to be turned on / off: when the G voltage is lower than the S voltage by a certain threshold, Q3 is turned on, and VCC_BAT supplies power to the subsequent stage; otherwise, it is turned off; Q4 is an N-channel MOS tube, which is used as a control switch and can be AO3400, and cooperates with Q3 to realize the gate level control, and the N-channel characteristic is that the G voltage is higher than the S voltage by a certain threshold; Q2 is a Schottky diode, which can be BAT54C, and is used for level clamping and logic conversion, and the node level is adjusted by using the forward conduction voltage drop thereof; R1 (100K) is a pull-up resistor, which pulls up the G of Q3 to VCC_3V3 when Q4 is turned off, so that Q3 can be reliably turned off, and the gate is not suspended to cause false conduction; R8 (10K) is a current limiting resistor, which provides a suitable driving current for the G of Q4, and prevents the Q4 gate from being damaged by excessive current when the PWC level is abnormal; R10 (100K) is a pull-down resistor, which provides a stable potential for the S of Q4, and ensures the accuracy of the Q4 gate level detection; Q2 (BAT54C): Schottky diode, which uses the one-way conduction characteristic to assist the level state of the control circuit, and ensures that the elements work in a safe and suitable voltage range.

[0148] The working logic of the switch control circuit mainly has two states.

[0149] State 1: PWC is low

[0150] PWC low→ Q4's G terminal voltage is low→ Q4 (N channel) is off; Q3's G terminal voltage is pulled up by R1, VCC_3V3 through R1 (100K) to PWT node, and then through Q2's internal diode to Q3's G terminal→ Q3's G terminal voltage is close to VCC_3V3; Q3 is P channel, S terminal is connected to VCC_BAT, G terminal voltage is close to VCC_3V3, if VCC_BAT and VCC_3V3 voltage are close, then the voltage difference between G terminal voltage and S terminal voltage is small, Q3 is off→ the load in the back stage has no VCC_BAT power supply.

[0151] State 2: PWC is high

[0152] PWC high→ through R8 (10K) to Q4's G terminal→ Q4 (N channel) is on; after Q4 is on, Q3's G terminal is grounded through Q4→ Q3's G terminal voltage becomes low; Q3 is P channel, S terminal is connected to VCC_BAT, G terminal voltage is low→ meets the P channel on condition→ Q3 is on→ VCC_BAT supplies power to the back stage.

[0153] Generally, the key circuit module adopts a key de-bouncing input circuit, which converts the key action into a stable level signal by using the mechanical structure of a four-pin key + filter capacitor, for the host control system to detect. The key includes two thin film keys K1 and K2, which realize the switching on and off of the host, parameter setting, function setting, etc.

[0154] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 the key circuit module includes:

[0155] The thin film key K1 has a second interface end and a third interface end connected in parallel with a filter capacitor C16; a fourth interface end is connected to the third interface end; a first interface end and a second interface end are provided with a key K1; and the second end of the thin film key K1 is further used to connect a switch control circuit of K1.

[0156] The thin film key K2 has a third interface end and a fourth interface end connected, and a first interface end provided with a parallel capacitor filter capacitor C17; a first interface end and a fourth interface end of the thin film key K2 are used to set a key K2; a third interface end and a fourth interface end of the thin film key K1, a third interface end and a fourth interface end of the thin film key K2 are provided with a ground GND; and a second interface end of the thin film key K2 is used to connect a switch control circuit of K2.

[0157] When the key is not pressed, the internal contact of the key is disconnected, and the key signal end is kept at a high level through the filter capacitors C16 and C17; when the key is pressed, the internal contact of the key is closed, the key signal end is directly grounded, the level becomes low, and the host control detects the key action.

[0158] Filter capacitors C16 and C17 (10nF, ceramic capacitors) are debounce capacitors. When a button is pressed / released, the mechanical contacts may briefly jitter, causing a rapid change in voltage level, which may be misinterpreted by the main controller as multiple button presses. The capacitors "smooth" the voltage level change through charging and discharging, absorbing the spike noise generated by the jitter, ensuring that the main controller detects a stable low level (pressed) or high level (released), thus achieving the "debounce" function.

[0159] In some embodiments, the information processing unit includes a microcontroller. Typically, the information processing unit includes a microcontroller (MCU) and peripheral control and debugging interface circuitry. For example, a minimum microcontroller system based on the FM33LG045 integrates power supply, clock, debugging, communication, and general-purpose I / O. The debugging and communication interface circuitry is a combined "SWD debugging + UART serial port" interface, accommodating both program development debugging and serial communication needs. The MCU needs to process and calculate the dose rate and cumulative dose from the acquired sensor signals. In some embodiments, the MCU is a 64MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ low-power processor, 256kB flash memory, 32kBSRAM, and rich interfaces and peripherals. Typical operating power consumption is 30130μA / MHz@48MHz. It has a built-in display driver module for driving OLED LCD screens, supporting 4, 6, and 8 COM, with maximum display segments of 176 segments (4COM), 252 segments (6COM), and 320 segments (8COM), respectively.
