Figure 1 As shown, the drain outlet at the bottom of the buffer tank 16 faces downwards and directly toward the top of the sludge recovery shielding container 6. A drain valve 7 is provided on the drain outlet at the bottom of the buffer tank 16. When the shielding cover 6-1 is opened, the drain outlet discharges sludge. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a pair of chute frames 6-3 are provided at the bottom of the shielding box 8, and a chute is provided on the chute frame 6-3. The shielding cover 6-1 is located between the pair of chute frames 6-3.

In addition, a liquid level switch 16-1 and a liquid level meter 16-3 (alarm for excessive sludge level in the buffer tank 16) are provided on the buffer tank 16, and the sewage valve 7 is interlocked with the liquid level switch 16-1. A vacuum gauge 16-2 is provided on the buffer tank 16, and the vacuum gauge 16-2 is automatically linked to the motor of the vacuum pump 13.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the buffer tank 16 is provided with a flushing pipe, one end of which enters the buffer tank 16 and is provided with a nozzle 9, and the other end of the flushing pipe passes through the side wall of the shielding box 8 and is provided with a joint 11, which can be connected to an external pressure water source or connected to the atmosphere, and the flushing pipe is provided with a control valve 12 and a one-way valve 12-1 (to prevent the radioactive gas inside the buffer tank 16 from escaping into the environment).

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, an electric hoist 4 is provided outside the shielding box 8, and a hook 4-1 of the electric hoist 4 clamps the sewage suction hose 3.

[0033] Step 2: Stabilize negative pressure

[0034] Start the vacuum pump 13, and the vacuum gauge 16-1 above the buffer tank 16 is automatically linked with the motor of the vacuum pump 13, thereby stabilizing the vacuum degree of the buffer tank.

[0035] Step 3: Pumping out the sludge

[0036] Open the sewage suction valve 10, and the sludge on the surface of the pit is sucked into the buffer tank 16 through the suction port 1-3---hollow channel 1-4---short pipe 1---sewage suction hose 3---quick connector 4---sewage suction hard pipe and sewage suction valve 10 of the mobile suction trolley 1 under negative pressure. At this time, the cleaning personnel can drive the mobile suction trolley 1 to move in the pit by holding the long pole 2. When the sewage suction hose 3 is long enough, the mobile shielding vehicle 100 can remain stationary. If the sewage suction hose 3 is not long enough, the mobile shielding vehicle 100 can be pushed by hand outside the pit at the same time as the mobile suction trolley 1 moves in the pit, so as to completely clean the sludge on the surface of the pit.

[0037] Step 4: Sludge Collection

[0038] The electric drain valve 7 below the buffer tank 16 is interlocked with the liquid level switch 16-3 of the buffer tank 16. When the liquid level reaches the set parameter, the vacuum pump 13 is closed, and then the control valve 12 on the pipeline is flushed. At this time, the connector 11 is not connected to an external pressure water source but is connected to the atmosphere, and the buffer tank 16 enters the air (breaking the air). Then the drain valve 7 is opened, and the sludge is discharged from the drain port at the bottom of the buffer tank 16 into the sludge collection bag of the sludge collection shielding container 6-2.

[0039] Step 5: Shielding Transshipment

[0040] Open the shielding box 8 and push the shielding cover 6-3 to the closed position to complete the shielding and sealing storage of the radioactive contaminated sludge. Then, the mobile suction trolley 1 and the suction hose 3 are recovered into the hose storage box 15 through the electric hoist 4, and the shielding box 8 is closed. Then, the trolley mobile shielding trolley 100 is pushed to the designated position to implement the transportation and subsequent treatment of the radioactive contaminated sludge.

[0041] Step 6: Flushing the buffer tank

[0042] Open the drain valve 7 at the bottom of the buffer tank 16, and connect a hose to the sewage collection pit, connect the connector 11 to an external pressure water source (such as tap water, etc.), open the control valve 12 on the flushing pipeline, and flush the inside of the buffer tank 16 through the nozzle 9.

[0043] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement shall fall within the protection scope required by the present invention.
