Description

[0002] In the prior art, various radioactive laboratories, isotope manufacturers, hospitals and various isotope application departments, commodity inspection, disease control, scientific research and other units need to use radiation detectors for detection of alpha, beta and other rays.

[0003] The radiation detector is composed of a host and a probe. For example, 6150AD5 (host) is an instrument for detecting photon radiation (gamma and X-rays), which has analog and digital display, automatic range switching, non-volatile memory dose, independent programmable dose and dose rate alarm threshold. 6150AD17 (probe) can be compatible with any 6150AD type dose rate meter, powered by 6150AD.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, during use, the probe needs to be powered by the host and transmit detection data to the host. The prior art usually uses spring wires to complete power supply and data transmission. However, in actual operation, if the operator operates carelessly, such as directly grabbing the smooth end of the connector or the cable to pull out the connector, it is easy to cause damage to the interface of the host or the probe, and the spring wire used for power supply and communication between the two often breaks; or the spring wire is hooked and pulled by other structures in the working environment, which is also easy to damage.

[0005] Such a situation not only affects the detection operation, but also increases the operation cost, not only the time cost and the cost of replacing the spring wire, but also the maintenance and replacement cost after the interface of the probe or the host is damaged, which are all the disadvantages of the existing radiation detector in use.

[0040] Embodiments

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of the present application provide a miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, comprising:

[0042] A shell 10, the shell 10 has a receiving cavity;

[0043] A mainboard 20, the mainboard 20 is provided with a pinhole, the mainboard 20 is arranged in the receiving cavity;

[0044] A wireless unit 30, the wireless unit 30 comprises a Bluetooth module 31 and an antenna 32, the wireless unit 30 is electrically connected with the mainboard 20, the wireless unit 30 is used for communicating with the outside;

[0045] An aviation plug 40, the front part 41 of the aviation plug 40 is used for connecting external equipment, the rear part 42 of the aviation plug 40 has a pin, the pin is inserted into the pinhole and fixed with the mainboard 20; and

[0046] A battery, the battery is electrically connected with the mainboard 20, the battery is arranged in the space enclosed by the mainboard 20, the aviation plug 40 and the shell 10.

[0047] Wherein, the aviation plug 40 can be selected as a fixed aviation plug, the structure of the aviation plug 40 itself can refer to the aviation plug in the prior art, which will not be described here.

[0048] The present application designs the mainboard 20 with a pinhole, and configures the aviation plug 40, so that the pin of the rear part 42 of the aviation plug 40 can be directly inserted into the pinhole according to the established bit sequence and fixed with the mainboard 20, and then the front part 41 can be directly fixed with the host 1000 (which can refer to Figure 4 ) or the probe body 2000 (which can refer to Figure 5 ), which can greatly save space, so that the shell 10 can be made smaller, realizing the miniaturization of the product of the present application. The advantage of miniaturization is that it is not easy to interfere with the operator or the surrounding environmental elements after installation, which can not only guarantee the communication of data, but also can power the probe body 2000, guarantee the normal work of the probe body 2000, and also because unnecessary touching and wear are reduced, damage is not easy to occur.

[0049] The switch 60 and the indicator lamp 70 are integrated on the main board 20, and the shell 10 is provided with corresponding holes.

[0050] In the embodiment, the battery is a ring-shaped battery 51, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the rear portion 42 of the aviation plug 40. The main board 20 is provided with a charging module for charging the battery, and the interface 80 of the charging module is arranged through the shell 10.

[0051] Further, the ring-shaped battery 51 of the embodiment is multiple, and the multiple ring-shaped batteries 51 are connected in parallel. It can be understood that when the space between the shell 10 and the aviation plug 40 is not ring-shaped, the shape of the battery can also be selected as other types; or when the space between the shell 10 and the aviation plug 40 is large, other types can also be selected. The shell 10 of the embodiment is cylindrical, that is, the outer contour of the shell 10 is circular, and the diameter of the shell 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the probe. Here, the probe refers to the commonly used 6150AD17 probe, and the diameter of the probe is 17.5mm. The shell 10 of the embodiment is smaller than the outer diameter of the probe body 2000, which can fit the shape of the probe body 2000 and is smaller than the outer diameter of the probe body 2000, which helps to prevent the hand from knocking off the small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, and ensures the stability of the work. The four ring-shaped batteries 51 of the embodiment can fully reduce the occupation of space, so that the size of the shell 10 can be controlled to be smaller, and the effect of being smaller than the outer diameter of the probe body 2000 can be achieved. Figure 5 As shown, which can fit the shape of the probe body 2000 and is smaller than the outer diameter of the probe body 2000, which helps to prevent the hand from knocking off the small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, and ensures the stability of the work. The four ring-shaped batteries 51 of the embodiment can fully reduce the occupation of space, so that the size of the shell 10 can be controlled to be smaller, and the effect of being smaller than the outer diameter of the probe body 2000 can be achieved.

[0052] Further, the shell 10 includes a main body 11 and a bottom cover 12, and the main body 11 and the bottom cover 12 are detachably enclosed to form a containing cavity. The inner wall of the main body 11 has a first step portion 111, the bottom cover 12 is sleeved on the aviation plug 40, and after the bottom cover 12 is connected with the main body 11, the aviation plug 40 abuts against the main board 20 and abuts the main board 20 on the first step portion 111 to fix the main board 20. In the embodiment, the bottom cover 12 is provided with a counterbore 121, and the main body 11 is provided with a through hole 112 corresponding to the position of the counterbore 121. After the bottom cover 12 is blocked on the main body 11, the through hole 112 is coaxial with the counterbore 121, and at this time, the fixing can be performed through the set screw 91. Since these holes and the set screw 91 are arranged on the side surface of the shell 10, the axial size will not be increased, and the realization of miniaturization will not be affected.

[0053] The small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 further includes a limiting ring 92, the aviation plug 40 has a second step portion 43, and the limiting ring 92 is sleeved on the rear portion 42 of the aviation plug 40 and is abutted by the second step portion 43 and the main board 20. The limiting ring 92 can maintain a suitable insertion depth after the pin is inserted, so as to avoid excessive insertion and affect the subsequent fixing work.

[0054] The main board 20 is supported by the navigation plug 40, and does not need to be fixed by a traditional fixing member such as a screw, thereby greatly saving the internal space and making the shell 10 very small in the axial direction, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the product.

[0055] The shell 10 is provided with an antenna window 13, and the antenna 32 is a patch antenna which is located at the antenna window 13 and is electrically connected to the main board 20 through a wire 321. In the exploded view, only a part of the wire 321 is shown, and it cannot be understood as that the wire is disconnected. The antenna window 13 is provided to avoid the shell 10 from hindering the signal and to improve the communication distance and stability. A shield such as an acrylic film can be arranged at the antenna window 13 to protect the antenna 32 and avoid affecting the signal. The patch antenna is small in size and flat in structure, thereby saving the installation space and being beneficial to further reducing the size of the product.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a radiation detector, which comprises a host computer 1000 and the small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100. Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application provides a detector probe, which comprises a probe body 2000 and the small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100. Figure 4 The small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 is connected to the host computer 1000 of the radiation detector, Figure 5 The small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 is connected to the probe body 2000 of the radiation detector and supplies power to the probe body 2000, and the two small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission modules 100 communicate with each other through the wireless unit 30. At this time, for the module used by the host computer, the module on the probe is an external device, and vice versa. Other devices which can be connected to the wireless unit Bluetooth can also be understood as external devices, as long as they can communicate with the small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module of the present application.

[0057] It can be understood that, since the two small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission modules 100 are of the same structure, they do not need to be distinguished in use, thereby improving the convenience of operation. Once an individual module is damaged, a module can be directly purchased for replacement, and it is not necessary to specially purchase a module for the host computer 1000 or the probe body 2000, which is more beneficial for long-term use and reduces unnecessary use cost.

[0058] The principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0059] The existing spring wire, in addition to its own quality, also faces various use conditions such as rubbing, colliding and pulling, and may cause the connection end of the probe body 2000 or the host 1000 to be detached due to winding and other conditions, affecting the detection operation. If the quality of the spring wire is simply improved, various working conditions still need to be overcome, more investment is needed, and the problem may not be solved.

[0060] Therefore, the application provides a miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, which is installed on the host 1000 and the probe body 2000 respectively, can realize communication between the two, and ensure data transmission. The miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 can also independently power the probe body 2000, without the need for additional power supply devices for the probe body 2000.

[0061] Further, by directly inserting and fixing the navigation plug 40 with the mainboard 20, the internal space of the shell 10 can be greatly saved, and the volume of the entire module can be controlled to be very small.

[0062] The reason for the small size is that it is convenient to carry, the volume of the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 of the application is much smaller than that of the spring wire, and the convenience of the detection operation is improved; secondly, it is not easy to be rubbed by the surrounding environment, and it is not possible to be pulled, the frequency of the touch of the operator's hand is naturally reduced due to the small size of the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, and the touch area is also small. After testing, it will not cause the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 to loosen, which ensures the continuity of the detection, and does not need to pay attention to adjusting the spring wire to prevent entanglement, which can also improve the work efficiency to a certain extent.

[0063] In addition, since the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 does not need to power the host 1000, when the power of the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 used by the probe body 2000 is low, it can be directly exchanged with the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 used by the host 1000, and then the host 1000 charges the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 and maintains the normal interaction of the two miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission modules 100. This can improve the effective duration of the work and further improve the convenience.

[0064] As described above, miniaturization has many benefits for the use of the host 1000 and the probe body 2000, so the application further designs many space-saving solutions. For example, using a ring-shaped battery 51 prevents the battery from occupying too much space. For example, the mainboard 20 is fixed by abutting, without using screws or other components, further saving space; for example, using a patch antenna can also reduce the occupation of the axial space of the shell 10 and save internal space. These solutions also make the entire miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 truly miniaturized, ensuring power supply and communication while fully utilizing the advantages of miniaturization. Moreover, it can also match more specifications of radiation detectors. Even if the radiation detector is small, it can also choose a small-sized miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, and there is no need to modify the host 1000 or the probe body 2000. The use of the small-sized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 is very practical and convenient.

[0065] In summary, the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100 of the application realizes communication with the outside through a wireless unit, while enabling communication between the probe body 2000 and the host 1000. By directly connecting the aviation plug 40 and the mainboard 20, it can greatly save space, achieve miniaturization, and be more conducive to detection operations. The radiation detector and the detector probe, by matching the miniaturized Bluetooth wireless transmission module 100, can solve the problem of easily broken spring wires and many other problems caused by spring wires, ensuring normal use.

[0066] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the application and is not intended to limit the application. For those skilled in the art, the application can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
