They are primarily used in nuclear reactors, accelerators, radioactive laboratories, and other locations requiring neutron radiation protection. Neutron radiation has strong penetrating power, necessitating specialized shielding measures to ensure the safety of the work area or the external environment. Neutron shielding doors are typically constructed from multiple layers of materials to effectively attenuate and absorb neutron energy. These materials typically include hydrogen-containing materials, high-atomic-sequence materials, boron, or lithium. Based on this, neutron shielding doors offer multiple shielding effects. By combining multiple materials, they can effectively shield neutron radiation of varying energies, ensuring safety. Shielding doors are typically designed to be thick and sturdy to ensure they can withstand prolonged radiation exposure without damage. Some neutron shielding doors are equipped with automated opening and closing systems for efficient operation.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 6The utility model discloses a neutron shielding door, which is installed on one side of a wall 100 with a preset storage door opening a, and the neutron shielding door includes a column 200, a door leaf 300 and a shielding box 400, wherein the column 200 is arranged on one side of the wall 100, the door leaf 300 covers one side of the door opening a, and the edge of the door leaf 300 facing the column 200 is connected to the column 200, so that the door leaf 300 can be movably installed to The door leaf 300 is mounted on the side surface of the column 200, and the door leaf 300 can swing within a preset angle range with the column 200 as the rotation axis to realize the closing and opening action between the door leaf 300 and the door opening a; the shielding box 400 is movably arranged on the bottom edge of the door leaf 300; wherein, when the door leaf 300 cooperates with the door opening a to close to the wall surface of one side of the wall 100, the top edge of the door leaf 300, the left edge of the door leaf 300 and the right edge of the door leaf 300 are respectively aligned with the wall surface of the wall 100 on the top side of the door opening a 100 , thereby preventing neutron rays from penetrating the gap between the door leaf 300 and the wall 100 to the outside of the neutron shielding door. At this time, the shielding box 400 can be lowered relative to the bottom edge of the door leaf 300 until the bottom surface of the shielding box 400 abuts against the ground, so that the shielding box 400 can block the gap between the bottom edge of the door leaf 300 and the ground. Based on this, while ensuring that there is enough gap between the door leaf 300 and the ground to achieve stable opening and closing of the door leaf 300, the shielding box 400 blocks the gap on the bottom side of the door leaf 300 when the door leaf 300 is closed, further preventing neutron rays on the inside of the neutron shielding door from penetrating the door body, greatly improving the shielding performance of the neutron shielding door and improving its shielding performance in practical applications.
[0031] Furthermore, the shielding box 400 includes a box body 410 and a plurality of first hinge mechanisms 420. The box body 410 is movably arranged at the bottom of one side surface of the door leaf 300, and, in the initial state, the bottom side surface of the box body 410 is in contact with the ground; a plurality of first hinge mechanisms 420 are arranged on the top side surface of the box body 410, and one end of each first hinge mechanism 420 is connected to the top side surface of the box body 410, and the other end of the first hinge mechanism 420 is connected to the corresponding side surface of the door leaf 300, so that the box body 410 can be moved by a plurality of The first hinge mechanism 420 swings toward the top side at a preset angle, causing the bottom surface of the box body 410 to disengage from the ground. At this time, there is a gap of a certain width between the door leaf 300 and the ground, and the door leaf 300 can swing unimpeded relative to the ground; when the door leaf 300 swings to the target position, such as when it cooperates with the wall 100 to close the door opening a, the box body 410 can swing toward the bottom side to return to its initial state. At this time, the bottom surface of the box body 410 is in contact with the ground again, thereby ensuring the shielding performance of the neutron shielding door against neutron rays when it is closed.
[0032] Furthermore, the shielding box 400 further includes an operating rod 430, a second hinge mechanism 440, and a limiting unit 450. The limiting unit 450 is disposed on the top side of the box body 410 and connected to the corresponding side surface of the door leaf 300. One end of the operating rod 430 is hingedly connected to a side surface of the box body 410 through the second hinge mechanism 440, and the other end of the operating rod 430 extends toward the top side and is coupled to the limiting unit 450. Specifically, the limiting unit 450 is configured as a limiting slot b. One end of the operating rod 430 connected to the limiting unit 450 slidably engages with the limiting slot b. Thus, a pedestrian can pull the box body 410 through the operating rod 430, causing the box body 410 to swing upward toward the top side. At this time, the end of the operating rod 430 connected to the limiting unit 450 slides along the limiting slot b to a preset height and then snaps into the top side end of the limiting slot b, thereby maintaining the box body 410 in a raised state. More specifically, a snap-fitting slot c is provided at the top of the limiting slot b. When the operating rod 430 is lifted to a preset height, it can be snap-fitted into the snap-fitting slot c, thereby maintaining the lifted state of the box body 410.
[0033] Furthermore, the operating lever 430 includes a gripping portion 431 and a first connecting portion 432, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the operating lever 430. The gripping portion 431 is coupled to the limiting unit 450. The first connecting portion 432 is hingedly connected to the box body 410 via a second hinge mechanism 440. Thus, a pedestrian can use the gripping portion 431 to operate the first connecting portion 432 to pull up the box body 410. Specifically, the gripping portion 431 slidably engages with the limiting slot b and the engaging slot c, allowing the gripping portion 431 to slide and rise along the limiting slot b.
[0034] Furthermore, the operating rod 430 further includes a second connecting portion 433 and a buffer portion 434. One end of the second connecting portion 433 is connected to the grip portion 431, and the other end of the second connecting portion 433 is connected to one end of the buffer portion 434. The other end of the buffer portion 434 is connected to the first connecting portion 432. Thus, during the pulling and releasing of the operating rod 430, the buffer portion 434 can cushion the impact force between the operating rod 430, the limiting unit 450, and the box body 410 to a certain extent, thereby reducing mechanical damage. Specifically, the buffer portion 434 is configured as a sleeve structure, with its two ends respectively sleeved over the corresponding ends of the first connecting portion 432 and the corresponding ends of the second connecting portion 433. The side surfaces of the first connecting portion 432 and the side surfaces of the second connecting portion 433 are respectively slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the buffer portion 434. In actual application, the buffer portion 434 can cushion the gap between the first connecting portion 432 and the second connecting portion 433 by using one of the buffering methods such as air pressure, hydraulic pressure, and damping.
[0035] Furthermore, the door leaf 300 is provided with a flexible barrier 310, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the door leaf 300. The bottom edge of the flexible barrier 310 abuts the ground, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the neutron shielding door when the door leaf 300 is closed. Based on this, the door leaf 300 is also provided with sealing strips 320, which are disposed on the top, left, and right edges of the door leaf 300. When the door leaf 300 is in the closed state, the sealing strips 320 abut the surface of the wall 100, thereby further ensuring the sealing performance of the neutron shielding door when closed.
[0036] Furthermore, the column 200 is provided with a plurality of third hinge mechanisms 210, which are arranged on the side of the column 200 facing the door leaf 300, and the column 200 is hingedly connected to the corresponding side edges of the door leaf 300 through the plurality of third hinge structures, thereby achieving stable swinging between the door leaf 300 and the column 200.
[0037] In summary, the neutron shielding door disclosed by the present invention is respectively abutted against the wall surface on the top side of the door opening, the wall surface on the left side of the door opening, and the wall surface on the right side of the door leaf through the top edge of the door leaf, the left edge of the door leaf, and the right edge of the door leaf, so as to avoid the formation of gaps between the top side and the left and right side edges of the door leaf and the wall, thereby preventing neutron rays from penetrating to the outside of the neutron shielding door through the gap between the door leaf and the wall to the greatest extent; at this time, the shielding box can be lowered relative to the bottom edge of the door leaf until the bottom surface of the shielding box abuts against the ground, so that the shielding box can block the gap between the bottom edge of the door leaf and the ground. Based on this, while ensuring that there is enough gap between the door leaf and the ground to achieve stable opening and closing of the door leaf, the shielding box blocks the gap on the bottom side of the door leaf when the door leaf is closed, further preventing neutron rays on the inside of the neutron shielding door from penetrating the door body, greatly improving the shielding performance of the neutron shielding door, and improving its shielding performance in practical applications.
