Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of 60Co irradiation devices, in particular to an alarm device for detecting displacement of an irradiated cargo box. Background Art

[0002] As a large-scale device for the industrial application of nuclear technology, the 60Co irradiation device has certain particularities due to the presence of radioactive nuclides inside it; radiation safety issues have attracted much attention from the society. A general irradiation device is mainly composed of an irradiation room, a control room, a lifting source device, a personnel and cargo passage, a PLC control system, and a corresponding safety interlock system. In order to fully accommodate radioactive hazards, through effective maze shielding design and redundant safety defense ideas, it can be ensured that most of the radiation is shielded in the irradiation room during the operation of the device, which will not cause harm to the environment and human health. The decay process of 60Co radioactive source will continuously release gamma rays. The physical and chemical changes caused by the interaction between rays and matter can be widely used in the storage and preservation of food, sterilization and disinfection of medical equipment, modification of materials, radiation-induced mutation breeding and other research, which has very important economic and social value. At present, the sling transportation system outside the irradiation room of the irradiation device automatically sends the sling to the irradiation room for irradiation under the control of the PLC system. Every time the bolt on the sling is inserted and locked to the door frame, it will rub against the edge of the cargo box, resulting in a smooth contact surface on the edge of the cargo box. As the irradiation device runs for too long and the equipment ages, the bolt often inserts normally, but the cargo box displacement is not detected. In addition, in the radiation environment of the irradiation room, the anti-collision travel switch detection line will also bend with the operation of the device, and the displacement of the cargo box cannot be detected; there is a great radiation safety hazard.

[0005] An alarm device for detecting displacement of an irradiated cargo box comprises a detection device mounting frame, a detection installation moving assembly is arranged on one side of the detection device mounting frame, an automatic reciprocating assembly is arranged on one side of the detection installation moving assembly, and a supporting lifting assembly is arranged on the periphery of the detection device mounting frame;

[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of mobile detection installation, the detection installation mobile component includes a rack mounting frame, the rack mounting frame is connected to the detection device mounting frame, a rack mounting groove is opened inside the rack mounting frame, a transmission rack is installed inside the rack mounting groove, a transmission gear is meshed around the transmission rack, a rotating rod is connected to the middle of the transmission gear, a mobile mounting plate is movably connected to the periphery of the rotating rod, a transmission motor is connected to one end of the rotating rod, the transmission motor housing is connected to the mobile mounting plate, and an ultrasonic rangefinder is installed on one side of the mobile mounting plate.

An electric lifting rod is installed inside the lifting fixing frame, and one end of the electric lifting rod is connected to a support seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the electric lifting rod is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] (1) The present invention improves upon the prior art. In actual use, when the ultrasonic rangefinder detects that the cargo box is displaced and there may be a safety hazard, the PLC controller activates an external buzzer to alert the operator. This improves upon the original safety design and increases the diversity of detection. This can effectively avoid the phenomenon where the bolt is inserted normally but the cargo box is not detected to be displaced, thereby further ensuring the safe operation of the irradiation device.
