Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of analytical instruments, and particularly discloses a heat-dissipating closed thermoluminescent dosimeter. Background Art
[0002] A thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is a device used to measure radiation dose. It is widely used in medicine, industry, scientific research, and other fields, playing a particularly important role in radiation protection and dose monitoring. Certain materials, when exposed to ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, or charged particles, can store information related to the radiation dose. When these materials are heated, they release this stored radiation information in the form of light, a phenomenon known as the thermoluminescence effect. By measuring this emitted light, a thermoluminescent dosimeter can quantitatively analyze radiation dose.
[0003] A thermoluminescent dosimeter primarily consists of a heating device, a photometer, and related electronic modules. These devices work together to heat a material that stores radiation information and measure the emitted light signal to determine the radiation dose. Existing thermoluminescent dosimeters suffer from deficiencies in optical sealing and focusing, resulting in poor concentration of emitted light energy, which reduces detection sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, the temperature control system suffers from instability, and high temperatures increase dose measurement deviations. Utility Model Content
