Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of radiation dose monitoring, and in particular relates to a thermoluminescent personal dose box. Background Art

[0002] Thermoluminescence refers to the ability of certain substances to absorb and store ionizing radiation energy after exposure. When these substances are heated to a certain temperature, the stored energy is released as light, a phenomenon known as thermoluminescence. Personal thermoluminescent dosimeters utilize this principle to measure individual radiation doses. When a personal thermoluminescent dosimeter is exposed to radiation, the thermoluminescent material within it absorbs and stores the radiation energy. Subsequently, specialized measuring equipment heats the dosimeter, causing it to release the stored light signal. This light signal can be received by optical devices such as photomultiplier tubes and converted into electrical signals, which are then processed and recorded as radiation dose values.

[0003] Thermoluminescent personal dosimeters play an important role in a variety of fields. In radiation protection areas such as the nuclear industry and nuclear power plants, personal dose monitoring is a crucial means of ensuring worker safety. Wearing a thermoluminescent personal dosimeter allows for timely monitoring of radiation doses received by workers, helping to identify weaknesses in protection and implement appropriate countermeasures. Furthermore, thermoluminescent personal dosimeters are widely used in radiation protection and monitoring efforts in fields such as healthcare and environmental protection.

[0004] Natural environmental radiation has a complex composition, low levels, and is affected by multiple factors during on-site measurements. Therefore, in practical applications, a comprehensive consideration of these factors is crucial to ensure accurate measurement results and minimize errors. The characteristics of the dose cartridge itself, such as its material and sensitivity, can also introduce errors, so these factors must be fully considered during design and use.

[0005] Currently, the shortcomings of existing dosimeter packaging designs are as follows:

[0006] 1. Insufficient sealing. Existing dosimeter packaging boxes are mostly square boxes, which often have insufficient sealing. Impurities such as water and dust can easily penetrate, affecting the measurement accuracy and service life of the dosimeter. 2. Poor light protection performance. Direct sunlight may cause thermoluminescence information to degrade, affecting measurement accuracy. 3. Insufficient shape design and uneven directional response. Square or rectangular designs have large unevenness in directional response, resulting in significant differences in measured values ​​due to different radiation directions. Especially at low energies, below 100 keV, the directionality has a greater impact. To this end, a cylindrical design for the outer shell can reduce directional response errors and make the dosimeter's response to radiation more uniform in all directions. Utility Model Content
