For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a calibration device for a surface contamination monitor in some embodiments of the present utility model. A standard plane source is correspondingly provided for the surface contamination monitor, and the surface contamination monitor can be an α or β surface contamination monitor. The calibration device for the surface contamination monitor includes a connecting rod 1, a turntable 2 rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1 and used for accommodating the standard plane source, and an object placing plate 3 connected to the connecting rod 1 and capable of moving up and down along the axial direction of the connecting rod 1. A plurality of accommodating grooves 21 for accommodating the standard plane source are formed on the turntable 2, and the surface contamination monitor is installed on the object placing plate 3.

[0022] It can be understood that the calibration of a surface contamination monitor is usually carried out by placing the instrument to be calibrated above the standard plane source, usually at a distance of 5 mm or 10 mm, then recording and processing the readings of the surface contamination monitor, and finally generating an original record and a calibration certificate. In the present utility model, however, accommodating grooves 21 are provided on the turntable 2 for accommodating the standard plane source, and the standard plane source is fixed in the accommodating grooves 21 to ensure the stability and accuracy of its position. In addition, the object placing plate 3 is used to place the surface contamination monitor to be calibrated. The object placing plate 3 is located above the turntable 2 and can move up and down to different heights along the axial direction of the connecting rod 1. For example, the α instrument can be measured at a place 5 mm above the turntable 2, and the β instrument can be measured at a place 10 mm above the turntable 2. At the same time, since the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1 and a plurality of accommodating grooves 21 are provided on the turntable 2, automatic switching of the standard plane source can be realized by driving the rotation of the turntable 2, improving the calibration efficiency. The switching and positioning of the standard plane source and the instrument to be calibrated can be realized, saving the time and effort of manual operation, reducing the labor cost, and also reducing the risk of human error and saving the input of human resources.

[0023] In this embodiment, the number of the accommodating grooves 21 is three, and the three accommodating grooves 21 are arranged separately along the central axis of the connecting rod 1. In some other embodiments, the number of the accommodating grooves 21 can be adjusted according to actual requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0024] Specifically, the surface contamination monitor calibration device further includes a rotation driver 4 installed on the connecting rod 1 and used to drive the turntable 2 to perform a rotational motion, and a lifting driver (not shown) installed on the connecting rod 1 and used to drive the placing plate 3 to perform a lifting motion. The rotation driver 4 and the lifting driver can both be stepper motors. In some other embodiments, the rotation driver 4 and the lifting driver can also be servo motors, cylinders or other driving devices.

[0025] Furthermore, the surface contamination monitor calibration device further includes a camera 6 installed on the connecting rod 1 and used to acquire the data image of the surface contamination monitor. In addition, the surface contamination monitor calibration device further includes a control system, and the control system is communicatively connected to the lifting driver, the camera 6, and the rotation driver 4. The camera 6 can be an intelligent camera, which can be located above the placing plate 3 and used to acquire the data image of the surface contamination monitor. Then the control system acquires data through this camera 6 to record, store and process the data of the surface contamination monitor. At the same time, the control system can also control the motions of the lifting driver and the rotation driver 4.

[0026] In addition, the surface contamination monitor calibration device further includes a base 7 installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 1. The base 7 and the connecting rod 1 can be fixedly connected by welding, or the base 7 and the connecting rod 1 can be detachably connected. The base 7 is used to position and support the connecting rod 1.

[0027] The working principle of the surface contamination monitor calibration device is as follows:

[0028] Place the surface contamination monitor to be calibrated on the placing plate 3, place a plurality of standard plane sources on the accommodating grooves 21 of the turntable 2 respectively, and then start the rotation driver 4 through the control system to drive the turntable 2 to rotate. When the turntable 2 rotates, the standard plane sources will sequentially enter the detection position of the surface contamination monitor. At each different detection position, the camera 6 will acquire the real-time data image of the surface contamination monitor and transmit it to the control system. The control system immediately records, stores and processes the data, and generates an original record and a calibration report during the calibration process. During the working process of the surface contamination monitor calibration device, if it is necessary to calibrate different types of surface contamination monitors, the height position of the placing plate 3 can be adjusted through the lifting driver.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the surface contamination monitor calibration device are as follows:

[0030] 1. Improve calibration accuracy: The standard plane source is automatically switched by the rotating driver 4 and the camera 6 automatically reads the instrument data, which reduces the influence of human error and subjective judgment on the calibration result. The stable position and accurate placement of the standard plane source ensure the consistency and accuracy of the calibration point, thereby improving the accuracy of calibration;

[0031] 2. Improve calibration efficiency: Compared with the traditional method of manually selecting and recording calibration points, the automated design of the surface contamination monitor calibration device greatly improves the calibration efficiency. The application of the rotary drive 4 and the lifting drive can quickly and accurately realize the switching and positioning of the standard plane source and the surface contamination monitor to be calibrated, saving the time and energy of manual operation;

[0032] 3. Simplify the operation process: Use the camera 6 to read the data image of the surface contamination monitor and connect it to the control system in real time, eliminating the need for manual data recording and tedious data processing. In addition, the control system can automatically record, store and process data, further simplifying the operation process. The user only needs to make a small amount of settings and command input on the control system to complete the entire calibration process;

[0033] 4. Improve data traceability: With the support of the control system, the data during the calibration process is automatically recorded and stored. At the same time, the control system can instantly generate calibration reports, including original records and calibration certificates. These reports record detailed information during the calibration process, making it convenient for users to review and examine the calibration results at any time, improving the traceability and transparency of the calibration data;

[0034] 5. Reduce labor costs: The traditional calibration process requires professionals to perform tedious operations, while the surface contamination monitor calibration device effectively reduces the need for manual operation, which not only greatly reduces labor costs, but also reduces the risk of human errors and saves human resource investment.

[0035] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the utility model should fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model.
