DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.
[0042] Please refer to Figs. 1-6 In the embodiment of the present application, a gamma calibrator for calibrating a while-drilling gamma sonde comprises a through-hole closed structure 1, a device main body 2 and a shielding structure 3. The through-hole closed structure 1 comprises a base plate 101. The device main body 2 comprises a detection channel 206, and the base plate 101 is fixedly installed at the opening of the detection channel 206. The shielding structure 3 comprises fixed lead plates 302, which are fixedly installed at the side wall of the detection channel 206 in a ring-shaped equiangular arrangement, and the outer side surface of each fixed lead plate 302 is rotatably installed with a movable lead plate 303.
[0043] Specifically, the detection end of the while-drilling gamma sonde is clamped in the detection channel 206, and at this time, the movable lead plate 303 is rotated to make the fixed lead plates 302 and the movable lead plates 303 arranged in a staggered manner be located at the same position, thereby opening the through holes at the intervals between the fixed lead plates 302 to make the detection end of the sonde contact the radioactive source and perform calibration and detection work. In the idle state of the overall device and before and after detection, each movable lead plate 303 is rotated to block the through holes at the intervals between the fixed lead plates 302, thereby relatively completely shielding the radioactive source and avoiding the leakage of radiation to unnecessarily affect the workers and improve the safety. Embodiment one
[0044] As shown in Figs. 3-4 In the embodiment, the device main body 2 further comprises a base 201, a support frame 203, a handle 204 and a lock catch 205. The base 201 is hingedly connected with a cover 202 at the upper side, and the detection channel 206 is formed in the middle of the splicing surface of the base 201 and the cover 202. The support frame 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom side of the base 201. The handle 204 is fixedly installed on the upper side surface of the cover 202. The lock catch 205 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front splicing joint of the base 201 and the cover 202.
[0045] In the embodiment, the base 201 and the cover 202 are designed as an open-close type. The cover 202 can be rotated and opened, the detection end is clamped on the upper surface of the base 201, the cover 202 is closed, the detection end is packaged in the detection channel 206, and the lock catch 205 is locked to avoid the accidental opening of the cover 202 during detection, which leads to the leakage of radiation.
[0046] As shown in Figs. 4-6As shown, in this embodiment, the shielding structure 3 further includes a radiation source placement slot 301, a rotating ring 304, a lever 305, a rod-shaped radiation source 306, and a sealing plate 307. The radiation source placement slot 301 is located on the side wall of the detection channel 206. The rod-shaped radiation sources 306 are arranged in a ring at equal angles and fixedly installed in the radiation source placement slot 301. The sealing plate 307 is fixedly installed at the opening of the radiation source placement slot 301 on the splicing surface of the base 201 and the cover 202. The rotating ring 304 is fixedly installed at both ends of the movable lead plate 303. The lever 305 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the rotating ring 304 inside the cover 202.
[0047] In practice, the rod-shaped radiation source 306 is encapsulated inside the radiation source placement slot 301 by the staggered fixed lead plates 302 and movable lead plates 303. During the testing process, the fixed rotating ring 304 of the toggle block 305 is rotated at a certain angle, thereby causing each movable lead plate 303 to deflect until it overlaps with the fixed lead plate 302, thus releasing the encapsulation. Example 2
[0048] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to compensate for the situation in Embodiment 1 where the gap between the openings on both sides of the detection channel 206 and the side surface of the detection end would cause radiation leakage after the movable lead plate 303 is opened when the base 201 and the cover 202 are closed.
[0049] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the through-hole sealing structure 1 further includes a curtain-sealing movable groove 102, an outlet 103, a storage sleeve 104, a return spring 105, a top rod 106, a flexible composite material strip 107, and a lead cloth 108. The outlet 103 is inserted into the middle of the substrate 101; the curtain-sealing movable groove 102 is opened at the side wall of the outlet 103; the storage sleeve 104 is fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 101; the return spring 105 is sleeved on the top of the storage sleeve 104; one end of the top rod 106 is slidably sleeved with the storage sleeve 104; the middle and two ends of the flexible composite material strip 107 are fixedly connected to the other end of the top rod 106, and the flexible composite material strip 107 is slidably installed inside the curtain-sealing movable groove 102; one side of the lead cloth 108 is fixedly connected to the edge of the curtain-sealing movable groove 102, and the other side of the lead cloth 108 is fixedly connected to the flexible composite material strip 107.
[0050] In specific implementation, when the detection tube probe end, which is locked inside the detection channel 206, is closed as a whole in the main body 2 of the equipment, and the through hole at the interval of the fixed lead plate 302 is opened, both ends of the probe end will be locked by the outlet 103. At the same time, the flexible composite material strip 107 will abut against the side surface of the probe end under the action of the push rod 106 pushed by the return spring 105, sealing the gap between the side wall of the outlet 103 and the side surface of the probe end. The flexible composite material strip 107 is made of methyl vinyl silicone rubber as the matrix and heavy metal lead is added as a functional filler. Together with the lead cloth 108, it can achieve relatively complete shielding of the radiation source, further improving the safety of use.
[0051] It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the application is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but that the application can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the application. The embodiments should, therefore, be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the application being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the above description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims concerned.
[0052] Furthermore, it should be understood that although the present specification describes exemplary embodiments, the application is not limited to only one independent technical solution in each embodiment, and the specification is described in this way only for the sake of clarity, and a person skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by a person skilled in the art.
