Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluorescent screen technology, and in particular to a fluorescent screen replacement device based on a vacuum environment. Background Technology

[0002] In cutting-edge fields of physics, such as laser particle acceleration research, acceleration experiments are typically conducted within highly controlled vacuum chambers. These experiments aim to explore the fundamental laws and trends of particle acceleration, and to study these processes in detail, researchers usually need to incorporate fluorescent screens in the vacuum environment for crucial blocking measurements. The fluorescent screens act as detectors, capturing and displaying the distribution of the particle beam, allowing researchers to visually observe various phenomena during the acceleration process.

[0003] However, because the fluorescent screen gradually wears out or is damaged during this process, its consumable nature limits the number of measurements that can be performed within a single vacuum cycle. Each screen replacement requires interrupting the experiment for vacuum evacuation, which is not only time-consuming but also affects experimental efficiency. To minimize such interruptions, previous experiments often used cylindrical structures to house the fluorescent screen, allowing for rapid replacement without disrupting the vacuum environment. However, this method still offers a relatively limited number of repeatable measurements and has low space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] See Figures 1 to 5This invention provides a first type of fluorescent screen replacement device based on a vacuum environment, comprising a base 10, on which a first storage container 2 and a second storage container 3 are disposed. The first storage container 2 stores closely arranged fluorescent screens 11. A guide channel 4 is provided between the first storage container 2 and the second storage container 3, and a pushing component 5 is disposed along the path of the guide channel 4. A target position 44 is provided on the guide channel 4. The fluorescent screens 11 in the first storage container 2 slide to the guide channel 4 and are targeted at the target position 44. After being targeted, the fluorescent screens 11 are pushed into the second storage container 3 by the pushing component 5. With this structural configuration, the total number of samplings that can be performed in a single vacuum pumping process is determined by the number of fluorescent screens stored in the first storage container 2, greatly increasing the number of samplings that can be performed in a single vacuum pumping process. By adding the guide channel 4 and cooperating with the pushing component 5, it is ensured that the fluorescent screens 11 can slide sequentially from the first storage container 2 into the second storage container 3, enabling continuous multiple sampling of fluorescence signals in the vacuum without disrupting the vacuum environment.

[0036] Specifically, the base 10 is a plate-like structure, and its shape is designed according to the arrangement of the first storage container 2, the second storage container 3, and the guide channel 4, so as to stably place the first storage container 2, the second storage container 3, and the guide channel 4. Furthermore, stabilizing structures, such as mounting grooves and clips, can be provided on the base 10 to achieve further fixation and stability.

[0037] Both the first storage container 2 and the second storage container 3 are rectangular cavity structures. The first storage container 2 is a rectangular structure with a longer horizontal dimension, and the cross-sectional size of its cavity is adapted to the height and width of the fluorescent screen 11. The bottom of the first storage container 2 is set as a slope, and a fluorescent screen outlet 21 is set at one end of the slope at the lowest point. The fluorescent screen outlet 21 contacts the top surface of the guide channel 4, and its position corresponds to the position of the channel inlet 41 of the guide channel. With this setting, the fluorescent screen can automatically slide to the lowest point of the slope in the storage container during the shooting process, slide out from the fluorescent screen outlet 21, and slide from the channel inlet 41 to the shooting position 44 to complete the shooting. Furthermore, a pressure applying member 6 is also set in the first storage container 2. The pressure applying member 6 is located at one end of the slope at the highest point, and its bottom surface is also set as a slope, and the slope of the slope is adapted to the bottom of the first storage container 2, so that it can better contact the bottom of the first storage container 2. The front side contacts the fluorescent screen 11 arranged at the end, and the left and right sides are gap-fitted with the sides of the inner cavity of the first storage container 2. When the target shooting operation is carried out, the fluorescent screen 11 can smoothly slide from the high point to the low point under the combined action of the inclined surface and the pressure member 4, and smoothly slide out from the fluorescent screen outlet 21.

[0038] It is understood that the first storage container 2 can be an open structure at the top or a closed structure with a movable cover, so as to facilitate the subsequent addition of the fluorescent screen 11. When it is a closed structure, one side can be designed as a transparent plate to facilitate observation of the use of the fluorescent screen 11 at any time.

[0039] The second storage container 3 is a long rectangular structure with an open top and closed sides. At the open end, near the guide channel, a limiting plate 32 and a limiting rod 33 are provided. The fluorescent screen inlet 31 is located between the limiting plate 32 and the limiting rod 33, and the fluorescent screen inlet 31 is in contact with the left side of the guide channel 4, and its position corresponds to the position of the channel outlet 42 of the guide channel.

[0040] The width W of the second storage container 3 is greater than or equal to the diagonal length of the fluorescent screen 11, the length L is adapted to the height of the fluorescent screen 11, and the height H is greater than or equal to the lateral length of the first storage container 2. Since the fluorescent screen inlet 31 is located on the side wall of the opening end of the second storage container 3, it has a relatively small support point. When the fluorescent screen 11, after being hit, passes through the channel outlet 42 and enters the fluorescent screen inlet 31, its center of gravity begins to shift towards the second storage container 3 during movement. Under the action of gravity, the fluorescent screen 11 flips until its edge detaches from the lower support point and falls flat into the bottom of the second storage container 3, reserving space for subsequent fluorescent screens 11 to fall, thus achieving continuous hitting. It is worth noting that this embodiment is in a special vacuum environment; therefore, without air resistance, the flipping angle of the fluorescent screen 11 is fixed, thus enabling stable flipping and flat falling.

[0041] The guide channel 4 is a rectangular frame structure with a hollow target position 44 in the middle. The top is provided with a channel inlet 41 corresponding to the fluorescent screen outlet 21, the left side is provided with a channel outlet 42 corresponding to the fluorescent screen inlet 31, and the right side of the guide channel 4 is provided with a propulsion port 43 corresponding to the pushing component 5.

[0042] The pushing component 5 includes a push rod 51 and a driving assembly 53. One end of the push rod 51 is fixedly connected to the driving assembly 53, and the other end is placed on the sliding path of the fluorescent screen 11. The push rod 51 is a rod-shaped structure and can be set as one or more. When set as one, it is placed in the middle position. When set as two or more, the two or more push rods are set at equal intervals to ensure that the fluorescent screen 11 can be subjected to balanced force and can smoothly push the fluorescent screen 11 to slide into the fluorescent screen inlet 31. The driving assembly 53 is a purely mechanical power structure, that is, it provides power to the push rod 51 through the cooperation of mechanical gears, such as a vacuum electric translation stage. The starting assembly 53 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] When assembled, the first storage container 2 is positioned diagonally above the second storage container 3. The fluorescent screen outlet 21 at the bottom of the first storage container 2 corresponds to the channel inlet 41 on the top surface of the guide channel 4, and the fluorescent screen inlet 31 on the right side of the second storage container 3 corresponds to the channel outlet 42 on the left side of the guide channel 4.

[0044] It is worth noting that the height and width of the fluorescent screen outlet 21, fluorescent screen inlet 31, channel inlet 41, channel outlet 42 and push-in port 43 are the same, and their size is only enough to allow one fluorescent screen 11 to pass through, so as to ensure that the fluorescent screens 11 in the first storage container 2 can slide out in sequence.

[0045] During operation, the first storage container 2 contains a number of closely arranged fluorescent screens 11. The fluorescent screens 11 slide out from the fluorescent screen outlet 21 of the first storage container 2 and are guided by the guide channel 4 to ensure that the fluorescent screens 11 are in the target position 44. After the target is hit, the thrust of the drive component 53 acts on the push rod 51, and the push rod 51 moves to the left and abuts against the fluorescent screen 11 after the target is hit, giving the fluorescent screen 11 a pushing force so that it passes through the fluorescent screen inlet 31. As the fluorescent screen 11 moves, the center of gravity changes and it flips under the action of gravity until the edge detaches from the support point below and falls into the bottom of the second storage container 3 in a flat manner, reserving space for the subsequent fluorescent screens 11 to fall in, thereby realizing continuous target hitting. After the fluorescent screen 11 is fired, it slides into the second storage container 3. The drive component 53 applies a pulling force to the push rod 51, causing the push rod 51 to move to the right until it exits the guide channel 4. Under the combined action of the pressure component 6 and the inclined plane, the fluorescent screen 11 in the first storage container 2 slides from the high point to the low point of the fluorescent screen outlet 21, and then slides out again from the fluorescent screen outlet 21. This reciprocating motion is used to complete the continuous multiple sampling of the fluorescent signal in the vacuum.

[0046] It is understood that the device provided by this utility model, in addition to increasing the number of samplings that can be performed during a single vacuum pumping process by repeatedly replacing the fluorescent screen, also addresses the issue that conventional rubber products and lubricating greases will slowly vaporize in a vacuum environment, thereby disrupting the vacuum environment. This severely limits common control methods in vacuum environments. The first storage container 2, the second storage container 3, the guide channel 4, and the pushing component 5 of this utility model are all purely mechanical structures, eliminating the need for rubber products and / or lubricating greases, thus reducing interference with the vacuum environment and extending the device's service life. Furthermore, the device of this utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, low technical difficulty, and can be reused multiple times, possessing significant economic value and application prospects.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] See Figures 6 to 8This is the second type of fluorescent screen replacement device based on a vacuum environment provided by this utility model. Its basic principle is the same as that of Embodiment 1, but its structure is slightly different. Specifically:

[0049] In terms of assembly, the first storage container 2, the guide channel 4, and the second storage container 3 are fixed side-by-side on the base 10, with the first storage container 2 located on one side of the pushing component 5. The screen outlet 21 and the screen inlet 31 are opposite each other and connected through the guide channel 4. The guide channel 4 includes a channel inlet 41 and a channel outlet 42. The first storage container 2 includes two screen outlets 21, wherein the channel inlet 41 corresponds to the screen outlet 21 on the left side of the first storage container 2, and the channel outlet 2 corresponds to the screen inlet 31 above the second storage container 3. The screen outlet 21 on the right side of the first storage container 2 is located on the moving path of the pushing component 5.

[0050] The pushing component 5 includes a push plate 52 and a driving assembly 53. The push plate 52 is a plate-shaped structure with a certain thickness. Its height and thickness are adapted to the size of the fluorescent screen outlet 21 on the right side of the first storage container 2. One end of the push plate 52 is fixedly connected to the driving assembly 53, and the other end is placed on the sliding path of the fluorescent screen 11. The plate-shaped structure design of the push plate 52 can better ensure that the fluorescent screen 11 is subjected to uniform force when a pushing force is applied.

[0051] During operation, the first storage container 2 contains a number of closely arranged fluorescent screens 11. The drive component 53 applies a pushing force to the push plate 52, which moves to the left and enters from the fluorescent screen outlet 21 on the right side of the first storage container 2. This pushes the fluorescent screen 11 located at the low point of the slope to slide out from the fluorescent screen outlet 21 on the left side. After the screen slides to the target position 44 of the guide channel 4 and completes the target shooting, the drive component 53 applies a pushing force to the push plate 52 again, which continues to move to the left, pushing the fluorescent screen 11 after the target shooting to the fluorescent screen inlet 31. As the fluorescent screen 11 moves, its center of gravity changes, and it flips under the action of gravity until its edge detaches from the support point below and falls into the bottom of the second storage container 3 in a flat manner, reserving space for the subsequent fluorescent screens 11 to fall in, thereby achieving continuous target shooting. Then, the drive component 53 applies a pulling force, causing the pusher plate 52 to move to the right until it exits the fluorescent screen outlet 21 on the right side of the first storage container 2. Under the action of the inclined plane, the fluorescent screen 11 in the first storage container 2 slides from the high point to the low point of the fluorescent screen outlet 21, and is then pushed by the pusher plate 52 to the target position 44 to complete the target hitting. This reciprocating motion is used to complete the continuous multiple sampling of the fluorescent signal in the vacuum.

[0052] It is understood that the push rod 51 and push plate 52 in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 can be replaced with each other as appropriate, and are not limited to the arrangement shown in the figures of the two embodiments.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
