[0053] First, the plug 41 is screwed onto the gas filling pipe 6 of the neutron generator.

[0054] Secondly, the outer cylinder 43 is controlled to move away from the plug 41, and the outer cylinder 43 drives the sliding sleeve 44 to move away from the plug 41, and then the first protrusion exerts pressure on the spring 45, so that the spring 45 is compressed between the first protrusion and the second protrusion, and at this time, the spring 45 is in a compressed state.

[0055] After that, the front pipe part is inserted into the plug 41, and since the spring 45 is in a compressed state, the first protrusion and the perforation are staggered, so that the limiting steel ball 46 in the perforation can protrude to one side of the sliding sleeve 44, thereby ensuring that the front pipe part can be inserted into the plug 41; after the front pipe part is inserted into the plug 41, the operator can release the outer cylinder 43, and under the elastic action of the spring 45, the outer cylinder 43 and the sliding sleeve 44 are reset, at this time, the spring 45 is in a free state, the first protrusion corresponds to the perforation, so that the first protrusion limits the limiting steel ball 46, so that the limiting steel ball 46 is limited in the limiting groove, thereby enabling the plug 41 and the front pipe part to be clamped by the limiting steel ball 46 and the limiting groove.

[0056] After that, the first switch 10 is closed, the second switch 11 is opened, and the air pump 8 is used to pump the neutron generator to ensure that the inside of the neutron generator is in a vacuum state, and when pumping, the number in the second pressure gauge 55 is observed, and when the expected negative pressure value is reached, the air pump 8 is controlled to stop working.

[0057] After that, the second switch 11 is closed, the first switch 10 is opened, and the gas cylinder 1 is used to fill inert gas into the inside of the neutron generator, and when filling gas, the first pressure gauge 54 is observed and the pressure reducing valve 12 is adjusted to make the output gas pressure of the filling pipe 6 0.6MPa-0.8MPa, so as to ensure that the gas pressure in the inside of the neutron generator is at a preset value after stable filling, and the difference between the number of the first pressure gauge 54 and the number of the pressure reducing valve 12 is observed to ensure that there is no gas leakage during the filling process.

[0058] After that, the first switch 10 is closed, and the filling operation is completed.

[0059] After that, the outer cylinder 43 is controlled to move away from the plug 41, and the outer cylinder 43 drives the sliding sleeve 44 to move away from the plug 41, and then the first protrusion exerts pressure on the spring 45, so that the spring 45 is compressed between the first protrusion and the second protrusion, and at this time, the spring 45 is in a compressed state, and then the front pipe part is pulled out of the plug 41, and since the spring 45 is in a compressed state, the first protrusion and the perforation are staggered, so that the limiting steel ball 46 in the perforation can protrude to one side of the sliding sleeve 44, thereby ensuring that the front pipe part can be pulled out of the plug 41.

[0060] Finally, the plug 41 is screwed and detached from the inflation tube 6 of the neutron generator.
