Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of radioactive shielding devices, specifically to a shielding operation device suitable for alpha and beta nuclides. Background Technology

[0002] Alpha nuclides (alpha nuclides, such as radium-223, radium-226, astatine-211, actinium-225, etc.) and beta nuclides (beta nuclides, such as yttrium-90, phosphorus-32, etc.) may cause relatively little damage to normal tissues due to their high energy and short range, but if appropriate protective measures are not taken during handling, they may cause radioactive liquid splashes or radioactive aerosol leaks, thus posing potential hazards to operators and the environment.

[0003] For handling radionuclides, traditional lead-shielded radiation protection fume hoods and other equipment are usually used. These devices are bulky, and because they are protected with lead bricks with a lead equivalent of at least 20-70 mm, they usually weigh 2-8 tons. They are not only complex in structure and inconvenient to operate, but also relatively expensive to purchase, use and maintain, making them unsuitable for experimental environments. Utility Model Content

Operating gloves are sealed to the edge of the operating port, ensuring safe hand access during operation. The gloves and the box itself are sealed to the outside, effectively preventing direct contact with the material. A filtration and exhaust system continuously purifies the air inside the operating box. The system filters and discharges radioactive aerosols to prevent their spread. A disinfection mechanism can periodically disinfect the interior of the operating chamber, reducing the risk of microbial contamination. Compared to traditional lead-shielded radiation protection fume hoods, the shielding operating device for alpha and beta nuclides provided in this application, constructed from polymer panels, can shield alpha and beta rays generated by alpha and beta nuclides, protecting the safety of operators and the environment.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this application are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a shielding operation device suitable for alpha and beta nuclides. The device includes a temporary storage box 1, an operation box 2, operating gloves, a filtration and exhaust mechanism 4, and a disinfection mechanism 5. The temporary storage box 1 is equipped with a first isolation door 6 and a second isolation door 7. The first isolation door 6 connects / isolates the internal and external spaces of the temporary storage box 1. The operation box 2 is constructed from transparent polymer panels, allowing the operator to observe the alpha nuclides within the operation box 2. In addition to beta nuclides, it also allows for clear and convenient observation of the working status of other equipment inside the operating box 2. The operating box 2 is connected to the temporary storage box 1. The operating box 2 has several operating holes 3 that connect the internal space and the external space of the operating box 2. The internal space of the operating box 2 is connected to / isolated from the internal space of the temporary storage box 1 through the second isolation door 7. The operating gloves are sealed to the edge of the operating holes 3. The filter exhaust mechanism 4 is connected to the operating box 2 and is used to exhaust the air inside the operating box 2 to the outside of the operating box 2. The disinfection mechanism 5 is located inside the operating box 2.

[0021] In use, open the first isolation door 6 and transport the alpha and beta nuclides to the temporary storage box 1 and operating box 2. Disinfect the operating box 2 through the disinfection mechanism 5, open the filter exhaust mechanism 4, and then transport the alpha and beta nuclides to the operating box 2 through the second isolation door 7. Close the second isolation door 7 and the first isolation door 6. Operators handle the alpha and beta nuclides through operating gloves.

[0022] The shielding operation device for alpha and beta nuclides provided in this application embodiment includes a temporary storage box 1 for storing radioactive nuclides, and a first isolation door 6 controlling the connection or isolation between the internal and external spaces to prevent radioactive material leakage. The operation box 2 is constructed from transparent polymer panels and is connected to the interior of the temporary storage box 1 via a second isolation door 7, facilitating operation while providing good visibility. The operation glove is sealed to the edge of the operation port 3, ensuring safe hand access during operation, while the inside of the glove and the box are sealed to the outside, effectively preventing direct contact with the material. A filtration and exhaust mechanism 4 continuously draws air from the operation box 2. The system filters and discharges radioactive aerosols to prevent their spread. The disinfection mechanism 5 can regularly disinfect the inside of the operating box 2, reducing the risk of microbial contamination. Compared with traditional lead-shielded radiation protection fume hoods and other equipment, the shielding operating device for alpha and beta nuclides provided in this application embodiment can achieve shielding of alpha and beta rays generated by alpha and beta nuclides through the operating box 2 made of polymer wall panels, protecting the safety of operators and the environment. The overall structure is simpler than traditional lead-shielded radiation protection fume hoods and other equipment, and the operation is relatively convenient. It does not require lead plates, concrete, etc., and the device is smaller and lighter, making it suitable for laboratory environments.

[0023] In this embodiment, the polymer wall panel of the operating box 2 can be made of materials such as polyimide, polyethylene, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, etc.

[0024] In this embodiment, the temporary storage box 1 can typically be designed as a rectangular box. The temporary storage box 1 can also be made of the same polymer wall panel as the operating box 2, thereby preventing accidental leakage of α rays or β rays from the temporary storage box 1. The difference is that the polymer wall panel of the temporary storage box 1 can be made of transparent or non-transparent materials.

[0025] In some optional embodiments, in the working state, the rotation center axis of the first isolation door 6 is horizontal and located at the lower part of the temporary storage box 1.

[0026] In this embodiment of the application, in the working state, the latch of the first isolation door 6 is located at the upper end of the temporary storage box 1, while the hinge of the first isolation door 6 is located at the lower end of the temporary storage box 1. When the first isolation door 6 is open, one end of it can contact the ground or other supporting platform, which will facilitate the entry of material transport devices such as trolleys into the first isolation door 6.

[0027] In some alternative embodiments, the number of operating holes 3 is configured to be at least two.

[0028] In this embodiment, the multiple operating holes 3 facilitate operators to operate the alpha and beta nuclides from different positions, providing good operational convenience. At the same time, it also allows multiple operators to operate the alpha and beta nuclides together.

[0029] In some alternative embodiments, a power socket 10 is provided inside the operating housing 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, by incorporating the power socket 10, the wiring inside and outside the operating box 2 is reduced, which can lower the probability of alpha and beta ray leakage and improve the personal safety of operators.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the disinfection mechanism 5 is configured as an ultraviolet lamp, which is located on top of the operating housing 2 in the working state.

[0032] In this embodiment, the ultraviolet lamp serves as the disinfection mechanism 5. Its main function is to emit ultraviolet light beams during operation for efficient disinfection of the internal environment of the operating chamber 2. The design of the top of the operating chamber 2 allows the ultraviolet lamp to irradiate all areas inside that need disinfection, ensuring comprehensive cleaning of the air and surfaces. Combined with the enclosed structure of the operating chamber 2, the ultraviolet lamp can minimize external contamination, providing a clean and safe operating space. When the ultraviolet lamp is turned on, the emitted ultraviolet light waves can destroy the DNA and RNA structure of microorganisms, inhibit their reproduction, and eliminate various bacteria and viruses, thereby achieving effective disinfection of the internal environment of the operating chamber 2.

[0033] In some optional embodiments, the operating housing 2 is also equipped with a light, so that the operator can clearly and conveniently observe the situation inside the operating housing 2.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, a stainless steel base 9 is detachably connected inside the operating housing 2.

[0035] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a stainless steel base 9, it can be disassembled and cleaned regularly to prevent radioactive nuclides from being contaminated inside the box for a long time.

[0036] In some optional embodiments, the operating box 2 is provided with a third isolation door 8, which is used to connect / isolate the internal space of the operating box 2 and the external space.

[0037] In summary, the third isolation door 8 can serve as an inspection door, facilitating maintenance personnel to inspect the inside of the control box 2.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, reference may also be made to Figure 2 and Figure 3Two L-shaped guide bars 11 are provided on the stainless steel base 9, and a guide groove is formed between the L-shaped guide bars 11 and the stainless steel base 9. The operating box 2 is provided with a protruding rib 12 that is adapted to the guide groove. The width of the third isolation door 8 is greater than the width of the stainless steel base 9.

[0039] In this embodiment, the stainless steel base 9 can be slidably disassembled or installed by means of the L-shaped guide bar 11 and the protruding rib 12, which will help improve the convenience of maintenance.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the filtration and exhaust mechanism 4 and the operation port 3 are located on two opposite walls of the operation box 2.
