AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing neutron imaging devices lack systematic integration in light-shielding design, heat dissipation design, and collimation geometry adjustment, leading to light leakage and thermal noise problems, which affect imaging quality and flexibility.

Method used

A multi-stage light-shielding, temperature-controlled, collimation ratio-adjustable neutron imaging system is designed. By integrating a light-shielding telescopic component, a multi-curve deflector air duct box, and a temperature control component, the system achieves light-shielding design for collimation geometry adjustment and optical path connection area. Combined with heat dissipation design, a compact system structure is formed, blocking external light and reducing thermal noise.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the dark-field purity and thermal stability of neutron imaging, enhances the signal-to-noise ratio and repeatability of weak signal imaging, adapts to different ambient temperatures and light leakage conditions, and strengthens the system's adaptability.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种多级避光控温准直比调节中子成像系统及方法,涉及中子成像探测技术领域,其中,该装置包括样品承载机构、转化屏组件、遮光伸缩组件、成像暗箱、成像探测器、控温组件和机柜。通过设置遮光伸缩组件实现了沿中子入射方向调节长度的功能,从而将准直几何调节与光路连接区的避光设计整合为一体,避免了在调节距离时产生新的漏光薄弱点;通过设置控温组件并使其多曲线折流风道箱分别连接成像暗箱与风机组件,利用其内部曲折结构在形成通风换热路径、降低成像探测器热噪声的同时,有效阻断外界光线沿风道直线进入成像暗箱,从而将散热设计与避光设计有机融合。以紧凑的系统性结构同时实现了多级避光、精准控温与准直比灵活调节。
