Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of radiation detection technology, and in particular to a storage box for a radiation detector. Background Technology

[0002] Workers engaged in radioactive work often need to handle radioactive materials or equipment containing radioactive materials at close range. Although radioactive sites are equipped with specialized shielding devices to reduce the dose effect of radioactive materials on workers, there are still some situations where workers need to operate at close range. For example, during a nuclear power plant overhaul, when primary circuit equipment is opened (such as pumps, valves, steam generators, refueling pools, etc.), the radiation source is exposed, and close contact with radioactive materials can result in a higher radiation dose rate from gamma or beta rays received by workers.

[0003] Due to differences in job content, distance from radiation sources, and degree of radiation attenuation, different radiation detectors are often used to conduct whole-body, limb, and lens-based radiation tests in order to accurately detect the radiation exposure of workers.

[0004] After radiation detection, the radiation monitoring results need to be read. In the existing technology, when reading, the three types of radiation detectors are often collected and each radiation detector is read separately. This is not conducive to the distribution and management of individual radiation detectors for employees. At the same time, the reading efficiency is low, and the detection elements of different detection personnel are easily confused, which affects the detection. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a storage box for radiation detectors, which can uniformly store all radiation detectors and facilitate the reading of test results.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a storage box for a radiation detector, comprising: The box body is hinged to a cover, and a placement compartment is provided inside the box body. The placement compartment is provided with at least one slide placement groove, a whole body meter placement groove, a ring meter placement groove and a lens meter placement groove on the first surface of the cover body, as well as at least two inner core placement grooves. The slide placement groove is used to place the inner core slide; the whole-body meter placement groove is used to place the whole-body radiation detector; the ring meter placement groove is used to place the ring-type radiation detector; the lens meter placement groove is used to place the eye lens type radiation detector; and the inner core placement groove is used to place the detection inner core. The inner core carrier is equipped with a detection element of a whole-body radiation detector, which is inserted into the whole-body radiation detector for detection. The inner core carrier is also provided with at least two slots for accommodating the detection core. The storage box, inner core carrier, detection inner core, and detection element are all equipped with RFID tags. The placement compartment has a sixth receiving compartment on the second surface of the box body. The sixth receiving compartment is located below the carrier placement groove. The sixth receiving compartment is equipped with an RFID detection module. The RFID detection module is used to detect whether the RFID tags on the inner core carrier, the inner core and the detection element match the coding rules of the storage box.

[0007] Furthermore, a transparent viewing window is also provided on the cover.

[0008] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the box body and the placement compartment.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner core carrier includes an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate riveted together by rivets. The upper cover plate is provided with two slots for detecting the insertion of the inner core, and the lower cover plate is provided with a first through hole corresponding to the position of the radiation detection element for detecting the inner core. The upper cover plate is also provided with two placement slots for placing the detection element of the whole-body radiation detector.

[0010] Furthermore, the detection element is a thermoluminescent sealing element.

[0011] Furthermore, the box body and the cover body are connected by magnetic attachment.

[0012] Furthermore, a seventh receiving compartment is provided on the second surface of the box body relative to the placement compartment. The seventh receiving compartment is provided with a rechargeable battery that powers the RFID detection module. The placement compartment and the box body are respectively provided with a first interface and a second interface for connecting the rechargeable battery.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the first surface of the storage compartment is connected to an elastic strap, and the end of the elastic strap is provided with a first Velcro fastener. The other end of the first surface of the storage compartment is provided with a second Velcro fastener that cooperates with the first Velcro fastener. After the first Velcro fastener and the second Velcro fastener are bonded together, the elastic strap elastically fixes the device placed in the storage box.

[0014] Furthermore, several indicator lights are provided on the first surface of the placement compartment. These indicator lights are connected to the RFID detection module and are used to emit alarm lights when the RFID tags do not match.

[0015] The storage box for the radiation detector provided in this application can simultaneously store a whole-body radiation detector, an ocular lens radiation detector, and a ring radiation detector. It also facilitates the placement of the detection element of the whole-body radiation detector, the detection core of the ocular lens radiation detector, the detection core of the ring radiation detector, and the detection core of the ring radiation detector on the same core carrier, enabling the reading of all detection results at once and improving detection efficiency.

[0016] The storage box for the radiation detector provided in this application protects the radiation detection devices placed on the table by setting elastic straps, preventing shaking and damage during transportation.

[0017] The storage box for the radiation detector provided in this application is equipped with an RFID detection module, which ensures that the components inside the storage box are compatible and uniform, and avoids mixing of components by personnel.

[0018] The storage box for radiation detectors provided in this application facilitates the unified storage and safekeeping of dosimeters in three different wearing positions, reducing the possibility of dosimeter loss and cross-wearing by different personnel, and improving convenience and accuracy.

[0024] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1 One embodiment of this application provides a storage box for a radiation detector, which will be referred to below. Figures 1-5The present application provides a detailed description of the storage box for the radiation detector, including: Box 2, with a cover 1 hinged to it. A placement compartment 3 is provided inside the box 2. The placement compartment 3 has a carrier placement groove 4, a whole body meter placement groove 5, a ring meter placement groove 6 and a lens meter placement groove 7 on its first surface relative to the cover 1, as well as a first inner core placement groove 8 and a second inner core placement groove 9. Among them, the slide placement groove 4 is used to place the inner core slide; the whole body meter placement groove 5 is used to place the whole body radiation detector; the ring meter placement groove 6 is used to place the ring-type radiation detector; the lens meter placement groove 7 is used to place the first inner core placement groove 8 and the second inner core placement groove 9 of the lens-type radiation detector, respectively, are used to place the detection inner core of the ring-type radiation detector and the detection inner core of the lens-type radiation detector.

[0026] The inner core carrier is equipped with the detection element of the whole-body radiation detector, which is used to insert into the whole-body radiation detector for detection. The inner core carrier is also provided with slots for accommodating the detection core of the ring-type radiation detector and the detection core of the lens-type radiation detector.

[0027] The storage box, inner core carrier, detection inner core, and detection element are all equipped with RFID tags. The placement compartment 3 is provided with a sixth receiving compartment 19 on the second surface of the box body 2. The sixth receiving compartment 19 is located below the carrier placement groove 4. An RFID detection module 21 is provided in the sixth receiving compartment 19. The RFID detection module 21 is used to detect whether the RFID tags on the inner core carrier, the inner core and the detection element match the coding rules of the storage box.

[0028] In this embodiment of the application, the same storage box and its internal components are uniformly coded using RFID tags, and are distinguished from the codes of other storage boxes.

[0029] For example, in this embodiment of the application, the pre-stored coding naming rule for a storage box is: ABCD + number; wherein, the whole-body radiation detector is: ABCD001, the inner core carrier is ABCD002, the ring-type radiation detector is ABCD003, the lens-type radiation detector is ABCD004, the detection inner core of the ring-type radiation detector is ABCD005, and the detection inner core of the lens-type radiation detector is ABCD006.

[0030] In this embodiment, the RFID detection module 21 mainly detects whether the pre-stored codes of the RFID tags on the inner core carrier, the detection inner core, and the detection element match the same, so as to ensure that the inner core carrier, the detection inner core, and the detection element in the storage box belong to the same set of devices of the storage box and avoid detection confusion.

[0031] In other embodiments, the RFID detection module 21 can also detect all devices equipped with RFID tags within the storage box to ensure that all devices in the storage box are from the same set of equipment. In this embodiment, the detection element of the whole-body radiation detector is two thermoluminescent sealing elements 47, which are formed by sealing the thermoluminescent detection element 48.

[0032] In other embodiments, the detection element of the whole-body radiation detector may be any one or a combination of thermoluminescent, optically stimulated luminescence and glass fluorescence detection elements, sealed together.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inner core carrier includes an upper cover plate 41 and a lower cover plate 42 riveted together by rivets 43. The upper cover plate 41 is provided with two slots 44 for inserting the inner core 49, and the lower cover plate 42 is provided with a first through hole 45 corresponding to the position of the radiation detection element for detecting the inner core. The upper cover plate 41 is also provided with two placement slots 46 for placing the detection element of the whole-body radiation detector.

[0034] It should be noted that the detection core includes a label, a radiation monitoring sealing element, and a sleeve. The radiation monitoring sealing element seals a thermoluminescent detector element, which is circular or square, with a thin film. The label is rectangular or square and displays barcode or QR code information. The label and detector sealing element are wrapped inside the sleeve, making the detector element and label information visible, thus forming the detection core.

[0035] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 15 is also provided on the box body 2 to serve as a waterproofing element.

[0036] In this embodiment, the box body 2 and the cover body 1 are also connected by a magnetic 13 to prevent the storage box from being accidentally opened and causing the components to be lost.

[0037] One end of the first surface of the storage compartment 3 is connected to an elastic strap 10, and the end of the elastic strap 10 is provided with a first hook and loop fastener 11. The other end of the first surface of the storage compartment 3 is provided with a second hook and loop fastener 12 that cooperates with the first hook and loop fastener 11. After the first hook and loop fastener 11 and the second hook and loop fastener 12 are glued together, the elastic strap 10 elastically fixes the device placed in the storage box.

[0038] In an embodiment of this application, a seventh receiving compartment 20 is provided on the second surface of the placement compartment 3 relative to the box body 2. The seventh receiving compartment 20 is provided with a rechargeable battery 22 that powers the RFID detection module 21. The placement compartment 3 and the box body 2 are respectively provided with a first interface 23 and a second interface 24 for connecting the rechargeable battery 22.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the inner surface of the storage box is covered with a layer of lead sheet 17, which serves to shield radiation and reduce the impact of natural background radiation on the detection elements inside the box during non-use periods.

[0040] In an embodiment of this application, a plurality of indicator lights 14 are further provided on the first surface of the placement compartment. The indicator lights 14 are connected to the RFID detection module 21 and are used to emit alarm lights when the RFID tags do not match. For example, if the code pre-stored in the RFID tag does not conform to the naming rules of the code pre-stored in this storage box, the indicator light will be red and a buzzer alarm will be emitted, indicating a mismatch, meaning that the detector or inner core of another storage box has been mistakenly placed in this storage box; if there is a match, it will be green.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, each device is provided with an indicator light. The RFID detection module 21 controls the indicator light through the indicator light control circuit according to the detection structure, so as to intuitively display the matching device and the non-matching device.

[0042] In this embodiment, a transparent window 16 is provided in the center of the cover 1 corresponding to the placement groove. The transparent window 16 is made of leaded glass, which is intended to achieve the radiation shielding effect and at the same time enable observation of whether the detection elements on the inner core carrier are missing without opening the cover.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the strap 10 is made of transparent plastic material, which works in conjunction with the transparent leaded glass on the cover 1 to allow observation of whether the detection elements on the inner core carrier are missing without opening the cover.

[0044] When staff need to use the radiation monitoring timer in the storage box, they open the storage box, insert the inner core carrier into the shell of the whole-body radiation detector, and wear it on the chest of the monitored person. The two fixed detection elements built into the inner core carrier, combined with the dosimeter shell, can realize the measurement of the whole-body dose equivalent Hp (10). The detection inner core of the lens-type radiation detector is inserted into the lens-type radiation detector and worn on the left and right temples of the monitored person's glasses, the middle of the glasses, the protective mask, the paper cap, the collar, etc., to realize the measurement of the lens dose equivalent Hp (3). The first detection inner core of the ring-type radiation detector is inserted into the ring-type radiation detector and worn on the finger of the monitored person to realize the measurement of the extremity skin dose equivalent Hp (0.07).

[0045] After work, the three types of dosimeters are removed and placed in their corresponding positions in the storage box. The RFID tag is then detected using the RFID detection module. When the pre-stored code on each device's RFID tag matches the pre-stored code naming rules in the storage box, the indicator lights turn green, indicating a match and that these dosimeters and their inserts were worn by the same worker. This design facilitates the unified storage and safekeeping of dosimeters in three different wearing positions, reducing the possibility of dosimeter loss and cross-wearing by different workers, thus improving convenience and accuracy. For the next use, simply remove the three types of dosimeters with their inserts already installed.

[0046] When readings are required: The person performing the readings opens the storage box after use and confirms that all indicator lights in the placement slots are green, indicating that the detector and inner core are correctly placed and used by the same staff member. The inner core carrier and two detection inner cores are removed from the three types of radiation detectors respectively. The two detection inner cores are inserted into the inner core carrier, and measurements are taken and the results recorded.
