DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The application provides a radiation resistance performance test device for a rubber sealing ring, which comprises a table plate 1 and a main body frame 2, the table plate 1 is arranged on the main body frame 2, and the table plate 1 is provided with a radioactive source placement point 3, a circular track 4 and a radioactive source putting channel 10. For example Figure 1As shown, the circular track 4 includes a radius adjustment mechanism, which includes a telescopic track and multiple electric push rods 6 symmetrically arranged with the circular point of the circular track 4 as the starting point, and a linear motor 5. The linear motor 5 drives the electric push rods 6 to move.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic track includes an inner track 41 and an outer track 42. The inner track 41 is telescopically mounted in a groove in the outer track 42. The outer track 42 has a locking hole 421, and correspondingly, the inner track 41 has a locking point 411, which can engage with the locking hole 421. The top of the electric push rod 6 abuts against the inner wall of the circular track 4. To ensure even force distribution, eight small linear motors 5 can be used to drive eight electric push rods 6, distributed as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 As shown. The inner track 41 and the outer track 42 are made of elastic material, which is easy to deform with the expansion and contraction of the track.

[0022] The radiation source placement point 3 is located at the center of the platform 1, which is the origin of the circular track 4.

[0023] The radioactive source placement channel 10 is internally connected to the radioactive source placement point 3. The radioactive source 12 is pushed into the position of the radioactive source placement point 3 through the radioactive source placement channel 10. The radioactive source placement channel 10 is externally connected to the radioactive source storage device 9.

[0024] Preferred, such as Figure 5 As shown, one or more electric actuators 6 are equipped with radiation level markers 15. The information on the radiation level markers 15 includes: position information from the origin, radiation source type information, radioactivity information, and radiation level information at the corresponding position. For example: "30cm position - radionuclide 60Co - radioactivity 100Ci - radiation level at the corresponding position is 100Gy / h".

[0025] Preferably, the 12 types of radioactive sources include three of the more common ones: Cs-137, Co-60, and I-192.

[0026] Preferably, multiple linear motors 5 are fixed to the platform 1, and the linear motors 5 are connected to electric push rods 6; the multiple linear motors 5 are distributed around the origin of the circular track 4, and the ends of the multiple linear motors 5 form a circle.

[0027] Preferred, such as Figure 1As shown, a first annular support 7 is also provided at the center of the platform 1. The first annular support 7 is used to support and fix multiple linear motors 5. The first annular support 7 extends outward and connects to a second annular support 8, which is used to support the circular track 4. The circle, the first annular support 7, and the second annular support 8 are concentric circles. The minimum diameter and the maximum diameter of the second annular support 8 can accommodate the circular track 4 after it is contracted and extended. The second annular support 8 is designed as a groove, and an opening 81 is provided in the circle that connects to the first annular support 7 for the electric push rod 6 to pass through.

[0028] Preferably, the center of the first annular support 7 is used as the radiation source placement point 3, which connects to the radiation source insertion channel 10. Placing the radiation source 12 at the center ensures uniform radiation from the rubber sealing ring, resulting in more accurate experimental data.

[0029] Preferably, the radioactive source storage device 9 is provided with an ejection door 91 and an insertion door 92, with the insertion door 92 corresponding to the position of the ejection door 91; it also includes a push rod 13, which can enter the insertion door 92 to push the radioactive source 12 into the radioactive source storage device 9, and push the radioactive source 12, which has been pre-placed in the radioactive source storage device 9, out to the ejection door 91, through the ejection door 91, into the radioactive source placement channel 10, until it is pushed to the position of the radioactive source placement point 3; the push rod 13 can be pushed backward through the ejection door 91 and the insertion door 92.

[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 2 In conjunction with the above description, it can be concluded that, due to the setting of the annular support, the electric push rod 6 and the radiation source placement channel 10 are located on different levels.

[0031] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a shielding cover 11, which has an extension 111 that extends outward to the push-out door 91. The radiation source insertion channel 10 extends outward and is connected to the push-out door 91 of the radiation source storage device 9.

[0032] Preferably, the shield 11 is made of lead glass material, and the shield 11 is a detachable or movable structure.

[0033] Preferably, the device also includes a PLC control system for controlling the linear motor 5 to drive the electric push rod 6, thereby adjusting the radius of the circular track 4 to accommodate rubber sealing rings of different radii. The advancing distance of the linear motor 5 is set in the control panel 14 according to the different radii of the rubber sealing rings to be measured. The control panel 14 is shown in the figure as being mounted on the main frame. Preferably, the control panel 14 can also be connected to the outside of the device, minimizing the risk of radiation exposure to the operator throughout the process.

[0034] Example The rubber sealing ring radiation resistance performance test is carried out by using the above test device, including the following steps: Step 1, adjust the circular track 4 to the minimum radius, place it in the second circular support 8, and pre-place the rubber sealing ring on the periphery of the circular track 4.

[0035] Step 2, measure the radius of the rubber sealing ring, input the radius in the control panel 14, calculate the push-out distance of the linear motor 5, start the linear motor 5, and the 8 linear motors 5 move synchronously. After the electric push rod 6 abuts against the circular track 4, it drives the inner track 41 to move relative to the outer track 42 until the linear motor 5 stops moving. The clamping point 411 of the inner track 41 is clamped into the clamping hole 421 of the outer track 42, and the rubber sealing ring is relatively stationary with the circular track 4.

[0036] Step 3, cover the shielding cover 11, and push the radioactive source 12 from the radioactive source storage device 9 into the radioactive source placement point 3.

[0037] Step 4, calculate the radiation resistance performance of the rubber sealing ring.

[0038] The calculation method uses the air specific energy release rate formula to calculate the radiation resistance performance of the rubber sealing ring: (1) : air specific energy release rate, Gy / s; : activity of radioactive source 12, Bq; : specific energy release rate constant; : distance between point source and calculation point, m.

[0039] The calculated air specific energy release rate is in units of Gy / s, which can be converted to Gy / h.

[0040] The above information is obtained by reading the content information on the radiation level label 15.

[0041] It should be clear to those skilled in the art that the main purpose of the present application is to provide a test device, and the related values in the calculation formula are all determined values. The calculation method in this patent is used to reference the radiation level (dose rate) at a specified position to determine the test conditions of the irradiation test. The main purpose is to design a device that can be used for irradiation test. The device has labels calculated by the formula, which can be used to confirm that the radiation level of the test object is known when the test is performed at different labels.

[0042] While embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are merely exemplary of the principles and application of the present application. Numerous modifications and adaptions can be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, which is not limited to the exact construction and arrangement described. It is intended, therefore, to cover all modifications and adaptions that fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
