Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radioactive detection instruments, in particular to an automatic cleaning radioactive waste liquid detector. Background Art

[0002] Medical radioactive waste liquid mainly comes from radiological diagnosis and treatment in nuclear medicine departments of hospitals. Patients undergo ECT and PET-CT imaging examinations and need to be injected with radioactive drugs. The urine and feces produced during the period and the water used by medical staff for injection and cleaning are all medical radioactive waste liquid. Medical radioactive waste liquid cannot be discharged directly, but needs to be decayed and can only be discharged after the radioactivity meets the standard. Therefore, it is necessary to test the radioactivity of the waste liquid to ensure that the discharged waste liquid meets the discharge standard, or to facilitate environmental protection treatment later.

[0003] In the process of radioactive liquid waste detection, in order to measure the waste liquid in real time, it is necessary to embed the probe into the sampling container and let water in from the outside to achieve online detection.

[0004] Chinese patent CN206710615U discloses an online liquid radiation monitor for a nuclear power plant, which realizes online monitoring by opening a radiation detection port at the bottom of a sampling container, discharging sewage from a sampling inlet pipe and then discharging it from a sampling outlet pipe.

[0005] However, the above patent cannot make the probe close to the liquid surface during detection. When the liquid level is low, the probe is far away from the liquid surface, and there will be a certain deviation in the measurement.

[0006] Based on this, the utility model designs an automatic cleaning radioactive waste liquid detector to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
