Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a novel lighting system for nuclear waste treatment. Background Technology

[0002] While nuclear materials provide us with enormous energy, the waste generated during their operation is radioactive and requires proper disposal using nuclear waste treatment equipment.

[0003] The lights in existing nuclear waste processing equipment (such as radioactive waste compactors) are often embedded in the robotic arm or the top of the machine. When the lights are damaged, personnel need to enter the high-radiation area to replace them. When replacing them, the cover can be opened by unscrewing the screws.

[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: maintenance requires disassembling peripheral components, which is cumbersome, and staff spend a long time in high-radiation areas, which can easily endanger their health. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a novel lighting system for nuclear waste treatment in order to simplify the maintenance and operation procedures of the lighting system and reduce the time that workers spend in high-radiation areas.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel lighting system for nuclear waste treatment includes a housing with a mounting plate connected to it. A control module is housed inside the housing. The housing has mounting holes containing a light source assembly. A locking component is located at the opening of the mounting holes. A light-transmitting cover is embedded in the housing. A handle is fixed to the light source assembly, which has a strip-shaped groove. The locking component includes a rotating ring. A locking groove is located at the opening of the mounting holes, containing a rotatable gear. Multiple gears are spaced apart, and locking plates are fixed to the gears. The rotating ring is rotatably connected to the locking groove, where an internal gear ring is fixed. An external gear ring is fixed to the rotating ring, meshing with both sides of the gears. A locking block that engages with the strip-shaped groove is fixed to the rotating ring. The housing, light source assembly, and locking component are all made of radiation-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during maintenance, rotating the handle causes the light source assembly to rotate within the mounting hole, disconnecting the electrical connection between the grounding block and the elastic contact. Simultaneously, the locking block embedded in the slot drives the rotating ring to rotate, causing the gear to rotate the locking plate towards the locking slot until the locking plate rotates away from the mounting hole. At this point, the locking assembly rotates to the unlocked state, facilitating maintenance or replacement of the light source assembly. When inserting the light source assembly back into the mounting hole, align the slot on the mounting post with the locking block on the rotating ring, push the mounting post to insert it into the mounting hole, and rotate the mounting post again to cause the locking plate of the locking assembly to rotate towards the mounting post until the locking plate rotates near the handle. At this point, the locking assembly rotates to the locked state. Rotating the light source assembly connects it to the housing, simultaneously locking the light source assembly and securing it. This simplifies the operation steps for disassembling and assembling the light source assembly, streamlines the maintenance procedures for the lighting system, and reduces the time workers spend in high-radiation areas.

[0009] Optionally, the light source assembly includes a mounting post, which is embedded in the mounting hole. A power contact block is embedded in the mounting post, and an elastic contact corresponding to the power contact block is embedded in the inner wall of the mounting hole. A light source module is embedded in the mounting post.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the lighting system is installed on the waste treatment equipment with a mounting plate on one side. The light source component is controlled by the control module to emit light, providing illumination for the nuclear waste treatment site. During maintenance, rotating the handle causes the light source component to rotate within the mounting hole, causing the grounding block to rotate away from the elastic contact along with the mounting column, thus disconnecting the grounding block from the elastic contact. At the same time, the locking component rotates to the unlocked state. During installation, after inserting the mounting column into the mounting hole, rotating it in the opposite direction causes the grounding block to rotate with the mounting column until it abuts against the elastic contact. Simultaneously, the locking component rotates to the locked state. This simplifies the operation steps of disassembling and assembling the light source component, making it easier for staff to maintain the lighting system.

[0011] Optionally, a sealing ring is fitted onto the mounting post.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring can increase the sealing performance inside the mounting hole, ensuring the safety and stability of the light source module and the power connection block. The sealing ring is fixedly installed on the mounting post, making it convenient for staff to replace the sealing ring.

[0013] Optionally, a heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the mounting post.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat-conducting plate can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the mounting column for the light source module, conduct heat to the housing and dissipate it, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the lighting system and ensuring the safety and stability of the light source components.

[0015] Optionally, a second elastic element is fixedly connected inside the mounting hole, and a push plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second elastic element.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic force of the second elastic element can push the push plate to fit one end of the light source assembly, so as to push the other end of the light source assembly to fit tightly into the locking assembly, thereby reducing the shaking of the light source assembly in the mounting hole caused by the vibration generated by the waste processing equipment, and ensuring the stability of the light source assembly in the housing.

[0017] Optionally, an anti-slip plate is fixedly attached to the locking plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip plate can increase the friction between the locking plate and the mounting post, improve the stability of the locking plate in fixing the mounting post, assist the second elastic element and the push plate in reducing the vibration of the mounting post in the mounting hole, and ensure the safety and stability of the light source assembly.

[0019] Optionally, the anti-slip plate surface is machined to form an inclined surface that slopes toward the mounting hole.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip plate is tilted towards the mounting hole, which facilitates the smooth rotation of the locking plate towards the end face of the mounting post. This makes it easier for staff to rotate the light source assembly to drive the locking assembly to the locked state, and facilitates the maintenance of the lighting system.

[0021] Optionally, a rotating column is fixedly connected to the housing, and the mounting plate is sleeved on the rotating column. The mounting plate is rotatably connected to the rotating column, and a first elastic element is fixedly connected to the rotating column. One end of the first elastic element is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient for staff to rotate the housing to adjust the direction of the light source components and handles, and to rotate the housing to a direction that is easy to operate. The first elastic element can push the rotating column and the mounting plate to rotate and reset, which is convenient for staff to maintain the lighting system.

[0023] In summary, this application has the following technical effects:

[0024] 1. By setting up a housing, a light source assembly, and a locking assembly, the locking assembly can be rotated to the locked or unlocked state by turning the handle. The light source assembly can be electrically connected or disconnected from the housing by rotating it, and at the same time, the locking assembly can be driven to fix or unfix the light source assembly. This simplifies the operation steps for workers to disassemble and assemble the light source assembly, simplifies the maintenance operation steps of the lighting system, and reduces the time that workers spend in high-radiation areas.

[0025] 2. By setting a sealing ring, the sealing performance inside the mounting hole is increased, ensuring the safety and stability of the light source module and the power connector. The sealing ring is fixed on the mounting post, making it easy for staff to replace the sealing ring.

[0026] 3. By setting a second elastic element and a push plate, the elastic force of the second elastic element can push the push plate to fit one end of the light source assembly, so as to push the other end of the light source assembly to fit tightly against the locking component, thereby reducing the shaking of the light source assembly in the mounting hole caused by the vibration generated by the waste processing equipment, and ensuring the stability of the light source assembly in the housing.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application discloses a novel lighting system for nuclear waste treatment, as described in the embodiments below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lighting system includes a housing 1, which is rectangular in shape. A rotating column 11 is integrally formed on the top surface of the housing 1. A mounting plate 12 is fitted on the peripheral wall of the rotating column 11. The outer contour surface of the mounting plate 12 is the same as the outer contour surface of the top surface of the lighting system. The mounting plate 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating column 11. A first elastic element 13 is welded to the peripheral wall of the rotating column 11. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 13 is a torsion spring. One end of the first elastic element 13 is connected to the rotating column 11, and the other end is welded to the mounting plate 12. A control module for controlling the circuit is provided inside the housing 1 near the mounting plate 12. The control module is electrically connected to an external power supply.

[0033] Reference Figure 2The side wall of one end of the housing 1 along the length direction is provided with a mounting hole 14. The mounting hole 14 is a blind hole. A light source component 2 is installed inside the mounting hole 14. A locking component 3 for fixing the light source component 2 is provided at the opening of the mounting hole 14. A light-transmitting opening is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 1. The light-transmitting opening is connected to the inside of the mounting hole 14. A light-transmitting cover 15 is embedded in the light-transmitting opening.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The light source assembly 2 includes a mounting post 21, which is embedded in a mounting hole 14. A grounding block 22 is embedded in the peripheral wall of the mounting post 21 near the mounting plate 12. The grounding block 22 includes a positive electrode block and a negative electrode block spaced apart along the length of the mounting post 21. An elastic contact 16, electrically connected to the control module, is embedded in the inner wall of the mounting hole 14. The elastic contact 16 includes a positive electrode contact and a negative electrode contact spaced apart along the length of the mounting hole 14, and the positive and negative electrodes abut against the positive and negative electrodes respectively. A light source module 23 is embedded in the peripheral wall of the mounting post 21 near the light-transmitting cover 15. The source module 23 is electrically connected to the contact block 22. A sealing ring 24 is fitted on the peripheral wall of the mounting post 21. Two sealing rings 24 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting post 21. The outer wall of the sealing ring 24 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 14. A heat-conducting plate 25 is bonded to the peripheral wall of the mounting post 21. Two heat-conducting plates 25 are spaced apart along the peripheral wall of the mounting post 21. The side of the two heat-conducting plates 25 facing away from the mounting post 21 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 14. A strip groove 26 is opened on the peripheral wall of the mounting post 21. The strip groove 26 is arranged along the length of the mounting post 21. A handle 27 is welded to the end face of the mounting post 21 near the opening of the mounting hole 14.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The locking assembly 3 includes a rotating ring 31. A locking groove 32 is provided at the opening of the mounting hole 14. The locking groove 32 is annular and is provided along the opening of the mounting hole 14. The bottom of the locking groove 32 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 14. The rotating ring 31 is embedded in a section of the locking groove 32 near the opening. The inner wall of the rotating ring 31 is integrally formed with a locking block 311 that can be embedded in the strip groove 26 of the mounting post 21. A gear 33 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the locking groove 32. Multiple gears 33 are spaced apart along the bottom of the locking groove 32. A locking plate 34 is welded to the side. A section of the locking plate 34 away from the gear 33 is integrally formed with an anti-slip plate 35. In this embodiment, the anti-slip plate 35 is made of rubber. The anti-slip plate 35 is located on the side of the locking plate 34 away from the opening of the locking groove 32. The surface of the anti-slip plate 35 is machined to form an inclined surface that slopes towards the bottom of the mounting hole 14. An internal gear ring 321 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the locking groove 32. An external gear ring 312 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the rotating ring 31. The two sides of the gear 33 are respectively meshed with the internal gear ring 321 and the external gear ring 312.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 A second elastic element 17 is welded to the bottom of the mounting hole 14. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 17 is a spring. One end of the second elastic element 17 is welded to the bottom of the mounting hole 14, and the other end is welded to a push plate 18. The push plate 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 14. The plate surface of the push plate 18 abuts against the end face of one end of the mounting post 21. The housing 1, the mounting post 21, and the locking assembly 3 are all made of radiation-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials.

[0037] When using this lighting system, the side of the lighting system with the mounting plate 12 is installed on the waste treatment equipment. The light source component 2 is controlled by the control module to emit light, providing illumination to the nuclear waste treatment site. During maintenance, the handle 27 is turned to rotate the light source component 2 within the mounting hole 14, causing the grounding block 22 to rotate with the mounting post 21 away from the elastic contact 16, thus disconnecting the electrical connection between the grounding block 22 and the elastic contact 16. Simultaneously, the locking block 311 embedded in the strip groove 26 drives the rotating ring 31 to rotate, causing the gear 33 to drive the locking plate 34 to rotate towards the locking groove 32 until the locking plate 34 rotates away from the mounting hole 14. At this point, the locking component 3 rotates to the unlocked state, and the operator pulls the handle 27 to remove the light source component 2 from the mounting hole 14. The light source assembly 2 can be removed from the mounting hole 14 for easy maintenance or replacement. When the light source assembly 2 is reinserted into the mounting hole 14, the groove 26 on the mounting post 21 is aligned with the locking block 311 on the rotating ring 31. The mounting post 21 is pushed to insert into the mounting hole 14. The mounting post 21 is rotated again to make the locking plate 34 of the locking assembly 3 rotate closer to the mounting post 21 until the locking plate 34 rotates to the position close to the handle 27. At this time, the locking assembly 3 rotates to the locked state. By rotating the light source assembly 2, it is electrically connected to the housing 1, and at the same time, the locking assembly 3 is driven to fix the light source assembly 2. This simplifies the operation steps of the staff to disassemble and assemble the light source assembly 2, simplifies the maintenance operation steps of the lighting system, and shortens the time that the staff stay in the high radiation area.

[0038] When using this lighting system, rotating the housing 1 causes the rotating column 11 to rotate on the mounting plate 12, making it easier for the operator to rotate the housing 1 to adjust the direction of the light source assembly 2 and the handle 27. This also allows the operator to rotate the housing 1 to a direction that is easy to operate. The first elastic element 13 can push the rotating column 11 and the mounting plate 12 to rotate and reset, making it easier for the operator to maintain the lighting system.

[0039] When this lighting system is used, the elastic force of the second elastic element 17 can push the push plate 18 to fit one end of the light source assembly 2, so as to push the other end of the light source assembly 2 to fit tightly against the locking component 3, thereby reducing the shaking of the light source assembly 2 in the mounting hole 14 caused by the vibration generated by the waste disposal equipment, and ensuring the stability of the light source assembly 2 in the housing 1.

[0040] When using this lighting system, the sealing ring 24 increases the sealing within the mounting hole 14, ensuring the safety and stability of the light source module 23 and the power connector 22. The sealing ring 24 is fixedly mounted on the mounting post 21, facilitating replacement by personnel. The heat-conducting plate 25 improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the mounting post 21 for the light source module 23, transferring heat to the housing 1 and dissipating it, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency of the lighting system and ensuring the safety and stability of the light source assembly 2.

[0041] When using this lighting system, the anti-slip plate 35 increases the friction between the locking plate 34 and the mounting post 21, improving the stability of the locking plate 34 in fixing the mounting post 21. It also assists the second elastic element 17 and the push plate 18 in reducing the vibration of the mounting post 21 within the mounting hole 14, ensuring the safety and stability of the light source assembly 2. The anti-slip plate 35 is inclined towards the mounting hole 14, facilitating the smooth rotation of the locking plate 34 towards one end of the mounting post 21. This allows workers to rotate the light source assembly 2 to lock the locking assembly 3, making it easier for them to maintain the lighting system.

[0042] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
