Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods.

[0037] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0038] In radiation control areas, personnel safety is paramount, and the correct use and proper management of safety helmets, as key equipment for head protection, are of utmost importance. On the one hand, safety helmets may come into contact with radiation sources and become contaminated with radioactive materials in a radiation environment. If these contaminated materials are not promptly detected and treated after use, they can cause serious harm to subsequent wearers. On the other hand, safety helmets have a limited lifespan, and it is essential to ensure that all helmets used are within their expiration date to guarantee their protective effect. Furthermore, safety helmets are prone to accumulating sweat and harboring bacteria, necessitating measures to prevent the spread of bacteria between stored helmets. Additionally, the process of storing and retrieving safety helmets in radiation control areas needs to be streamlined to minimize the time workers spend within these areas. To address these issues, an automatic safety helmet sorting device for radiation control areas is proposed. The automatic safety helmet storage device provided in this application is applied to this automatic safety helmet sorting device for radiation control areas.

[0039] The following will first be combined with the appendix Figures 7 to 11 The provided embodiments further illustrate the automatic helmet storage device proposed in this application.

[0040] like Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the automatic helmet storage device of this application includes a storage cabinet 500 with an open top and multiple sequentially arranged storage compartments 510 inside. Helmets 700 can enter each storage compartment 510 through the opening at the top of the storage cabinet 500 and be stacked together. A transverse mechanism 440 is partially disposed above the storage cabinet 500, and other parts of the transverse mechanism 440 extend outside the storage cabinet 500. A gripping mechanism 430 is used to grip and transport helmets 700. The gripping mechanism 430 is disposed on the transverse mechanism 440 and can move on the transverse mechanism 440 to transport helmets 700 gripped from outside the storage cabinet 500 into the corresponding storage compartment 510. The automatic helmet storage device provided in this application has a storage cabinet 500, a transverse mechanism 440 and a gripping mechanism 430. The storage cabinet 500 is provided with multiple storage compartments 510. After the gripping mechanism 430 grips the helmet 700, it is transported along the transverse mechanism 440 to each storage compartment 510 to realize the automatic storage of the helmet 700.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of guide rods 511 are provided in the storage compartment 510, and a guide path is formed between the guide rods 511. The guide path is used to guide the safety helmet 700 into the storage compartment 510.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, an inclined edge 5111 is provided at the upper part of the guide rod 511 near the top, and the guide path forms a shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom at the position of the inclined edge 5111.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, a third lifting mechanism 512 is provided in the storage compartment 510. The third lifting mechanism 512 includes a support plate 5121 for loading the safety helmet 700, a lifting motor 5122 for driving the support plate 5121, and a pulley module 5123 connecting the lifting motor 5122 and the support plate 5121.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, a hair dryer 513 is provided in the storage compartment 510.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, an ultraviolet lamp is provided in the storage cell 510.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, each storage compartment 510 is provided with a cabinet door 530 in front of it.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, a sorting and conveying unit 410 is provided on the side wall of the storage cabinet 500. After the safety helmet 700 is conveyed to the sorting and conveying unit 410, the gripping mechanism 430 grips the safety helmet 700 from the sorting and conveying unit 410 and conveys it into the corresponding storage compartment 510.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the sorting and conveying unit 410 is equipped with an ultraviolet lamp.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, a second lifting mechanism 420 is provided on the side wall of the storage cabinet 500, and a sorting and conveying unit 410 is disposed on the second lifting mechanism 420. The second lifting mechanism 420 lifts the sorting and conveying unit 410 to a position below the gripping mechanism 430, so that the gripping mechanism 430 can smoothly grip the safety cap 700 on the sorting and conveying unit 410.

[0050] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 11 The specific embodiments provided further illustrate the automatic helmet sorting equipment for radiation control areas proposed above, so as to further understand the role of the automatic helmet storage device therein.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, some embodiments of this application provide an automatic helmet sorting device for radiation control zones, including a first detection device 200, a second detection device 300, a collection container 330, a sorting device 400, and a storage cabinet 500 arranged sequentially. It also includes a central control device 520, which is connected to the first detection device 200, the second detection device 300, and the sorting device 400. Specifically, the first detection device 200 includes a first conveyor belt for transporting helmets 700, a first detection module 210 disposed on the first conveyor belt for performing radioactivity detection, and a shielding shell 230 shielding the first detection module 210. A first indicator light is disposed on the shielding shell 230, connected to the first detection module 210 to display the radioactivity detection result. The second detection device 300 includes a second conveyor belt 220 docked to the first detection device 200. The second conveyor belt 220 is disposed of a second detection module 310 for detecting the validity of the helmets 700 and a third detection module for detecting the color of the helmets 700. The collection container 330 is disposed below the second conveyor belt 220. The sorting device 400 includes a sorting conveying unit 410 for docking with the second detection device 300. The sorting device 400 also includes a gripping mechanism 430 and a traversing mechanism 440. The gripping mechanism 430 is disposed on the traversing mechanism 440 and is movable along the traversing mechanism 440. A storage cabinet 500 is located below the traversing mechanism 440 and includes multiple storage compartments 510, each of which can hold multiple safety helmets 700. When the second detection module 310 detects that the safety helmet 700 is invalid, the second conveyor belt 220 transports the safety helmet 700 to the collection container 330; when the second detection module 310 detects that the safety helmet 700 is valid, the central control device 520 controls the second conveyor belt 220 to dock with the sorting and conveying unit 410; the gripping mechanism 430 can move between the sorting and conveying unit 410 and the storage cabinet 500, and the gripping mechanism 430 grips the safety helmet 700 on the sorting and conveying unit 410. According to the detection result of the third detection module, the central control device 520 controls the gripping mechanism 430 to transport the gripped safety helmet 700 to the corresponding storage compartment 510. The automatic helmet sorting equipment for radiation control areas provided in this application has a first detection module 210 with accurate radioactivity measurement function, which can promptly detect radioactive substances contaminated on the helmets 700, providing a critical early warning for personnel safety; the second detection module 310 can scan the code of the helmets 700 to accurately determine whether the helmets 700 are within their expiration date, effectively avoiding the risk of protective failure caused by using expired helmets 700, and comprehensively protecting the safety of workers; the third detection module identifies the color of the helmets 700 for automatic sorting and classified storage.The automatic helmet sorting equipment for radiation control areas proposed in this application integrates multiple functions such as radioactivity measurement, expired code identification, automatic sorting, and storage, breaking through the limitations of traditional helmet management equipment with its single function. It greatly improves the comprehensiveness and practicality of the equipment, providing a one-stop solution for helmet management in radiation control areas.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a temporary storage device 100 is further provided in front of the first detection device 200. The temporary storage device 100 includes a plurality of temporary storage units 110 arranged in sequence, and at least one movable transfer unit 120. The plurality of temporary storage units 110 allow multiple employees to simultaneously place used safety helmets 700 into them, thereby improving efficiency. Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the temporary storage unit 110 includes a first support 111, on which a short conveyor belt 112 is mounted. The safety helmet 700 is placed on the short conveyor belt 112 and conveyed by it. The first support 111 also has baffles 114 distributed on both sides of the short conveyor belt 112 to restrict the position of the safety helmet 700, allowing it to be conveyed more smoothly by the short conveyor belt 112. Further, in some embodiments, the transfer unit 120 adopts the same structure as the temporary storage unit 110. The temporary storage unit 110 and the transfer unit 120 are respectively connected to the central control device 520 to achieve systematic control. The transfer unit 120 can be moved to connect with each temporary storage unit 110, and can also be moved to connect with the first conveyor belt. When the transfer unit 120 docks with the temporary storage unit 110, the short conveyor belt 112 on the temporary storage unit 110 moves to transfer the safety helmet 700 on the temporary storage unit 110 to the transfer unit 120; when the transfer unit 120 docks with the first conveyor belt, the short conveyor belt 112 on the transfer unit 120 transfers the safety helmet 700 to the first conveyor belt, so that the safety helmet 700 enters the first detection device 200 one by one for radioactivity inspection.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this application, multiple temporary storage units 110 are arranged vertically. A first lifting mechanism 140 is provided inside the temporary storage device 100. The first lifting mechanism 140 is connected to the central control device 520. The transfer unit 120 is disposed on the first lifting mechanism 140 and can be lifted and lowered along the first lifting mechanism 140 to connect with each temporary storage unit 110 and the first conveyor belt respectively. A vertical support 130 is provided inside the temporary storage device 100. Arranging the temporary storage units 110 on the vertical support 130 can effectively utilize the longitudinal space, thereby reducing the floor space occupied by the temporary storage device 100. The first lifting mechanism 140 can assist the transfer unit 120 in moving and connecting between multiple temporary storage units 110 and the first conveyor belt, thereby transferring the safety helmet 700 on the temporary storage unit 110 to the first conveyor belt. It is easy to imagine that in other embodiments of this application, the multiple temporary storage units 110 can also be arranged horizontally. On this basis, the transfer unit 120 is transported by a horizontally arranged conveyor so that the transfer unit 120 can move and dock between the multiple temporary storage units 110 and the first conveyor belt.

[0054] Furthermore, it is readily apparent that in some embodiments of this application, each temporary storage unit 110 is provided with a safety helmet indicator light to indicate whether a safety helmet 700 is stored in the corresponding temporary storage unit 110, so that workers can place the safety helmet 700 into the empty temporary storage unit 110 more quickly.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a housing 150 is provided outside the temporary storage device 100, which encloses the temporary storage device 100. The housing 150 has several openings 151, and temporary storage units 110 are correspondingly arranged in the openings 151. Employees place the used safety helmet 700 into the temporary storage unit 110 through the openings 151. Furthermore, the temporary storage unit 110 is provided with an ultraviolet lamp 113. After the safety helmet 700 is placed into the temporary storage unit 110, the switch of the ultraviolet lamp 113 is triggered, and the ultraviolet lamp 113 turns on to disinfect the safety helmet 700 with ultraviolet light. The housing 150 confines the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 113 inside the housing 150, preventing ultraviolet light from overflowing and affecting the health of employees. When the safety helmet 700 leaves the temporary storage unit 110, the ultraviolet lamp 113 turns off. It is easy to imagine that in some embodiments of this application, the transfer unit 120 is also equipped with an ultraviolet lamp 113, which serves the same disinfection function.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first detection device 200 includes a shielding housing 230, and the second detection device 300 is integrally disposed on one side of the shielding housing 230, which can further reduce the floor space. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt 220 can be integrally disposed as a single conveyor belt, and the first detection module 210, the second detection module 310, and the third detection module are all disposed on this conveyor belt to reduce the number of components. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the first detection module 210 is located inside the shielding shell 230, which surrounds and shields the first detection module 210 to prevent radioactive leakage. A first indicator light is provided on the shielding shell 230, which is connected to the first detection module 210 to display the radioactive detection results. A second support 320 is provided on the second conveyor belt 220 outside the shielding shell 230. The second detection module 310 is mounted on the second support 320 to detect the safety helmet 700 passing through the second conveyor belt 220. Furthermore, the third detection module can be set on the second support 320 in the same way as the second detection module 310, or the third detection module and the second detection module 310 can be integrated into one unit.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, at least one of the second conveyor belt 220 and the sorting conveyor unit 410 is configured to move towards the other to achieve docking, and the collection container 330 is disposed below the second conveyor belt 220. When the second detection module 310 detects that the safety helmet 700 is valid, the central control device 520 controls at least one of the second conveyor belt 220 and the sorting conveyor unit 410 to move to achieve docking, and the safety helmet 700 is conveyed from the second conveyor belt 220 onto the sorting conveyor unit 410. When the second detection module 310 detects that the safety helmet 700 is invalid, the second conveyor belt 220 and the sorting conveyor unit 410 separate, and the second conveyor belt 220 conveys the safety helmet 700 into the collection container 330.

[0058] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the sorting device 400 includes a second lifting mechanism 420, and a sorting conveying unit 410 is movably disposed on the second lifting mechanism 420. The structure of the sorting conveying unit 410 and... Figure 5The temporary storage unit 110 shown has a basically the same structure. The second lifting mechanism 420 includes a vertically arranged guide rail and a lifting seat plate movably arranged on the guide rail. The lifting seat plate is driven by a lifting drive device and can rise or fall along the guide rail. The lifting drive device is connected to the central control device 520. The sorting and conveying unit 410 is arranged on the lifting seat plate and rises or falls with the lifting seat plate. Furthermore, the sorting and conveying unit 410 is located below the gripping mechanism 430. When the safety helmet 700 is conveyed to the sorting and conveying unit 410, the second lifting mechanism 420 lifts the sorting and conveying unit 410 to a position close to the gripping mechanism 430, so that the gripping mechanism 430 can smoothly grip the safety helmet 700 on the sorting and conveying unit 410 for sorting and storage.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the sorting and conveying unit 410 is also equipped with an ultraviolet lamp 113, and the safety helmet 700 is also subjected to ultraviolet disinfection when it is conveyed on the sorting and conveying unit 410.

[0060] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the gripping mechanism 430 includes a plurality of suction cups 431, which are used to adsorb the safety helmet 700 to achieve the gripping function. The suction cups 431 can be negative pressure suction cups, and the suction cups 431 are controlled by the central control device 520 to perform adsorption and release actions. The gripping mechanism 430 also includes a translational base plate 432, and a slider 433 is provided below the translational base plate 432. The transverse mechanism 440 includes a horizontal guide rail provided above the storage cabinet 500, and the slider 433 is slidably provided on the horizontal guide rail, so that the gripping mechanism 430 can move horizontally along the transverse mechanism 440. In addition, the sorting device 400 is also provided with a translational motor, which is connected to the central control device 520. The translational motor drives the gripping mechanism 430 to move along the transverse mechanism 440 to transport the safety helmet 700 into the corresponding storage compartment 510.

[0061] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown in some embodiments of this application, the storage cabinet 500 is divided into multiple independent storage compartments 510, which are arranged in an orderly manner. The upper part of the storage compartment 510 is open, and the safety helmet 700 is placed into the storage compartment 510 from the top. Each storage compartment 510 is provided with a cabinet door 530 in front of it. The cabinet door 530 is connected to a central control device 520. When the staff wants to take the safety helmet 700, the central control device 520 can control the cabinet door 530 to open automatically, and the staff can take the safety helmet 700 from the storage compartment 510 from top to bottom. In addition, the cabinet door 530 can also be opened manually by the staff, and it can be easily opened even when the power is off. The storage compartment 510 is equipped with multiple guide rods 511, which are used to guide the safety helmet 700 smoothly into the storage compartment 510. Specifically, the top of the multiple guide rods 511 is relatively far apart, making it easier for the safety helmet 700 to fall into the storage compartment 510 after it is dropped from the gripping mechanism 430. The upper part of the guide rods 511 is provided with an inclined edge 5111 near the top. The inclined edge 5111 narrows the distance between the multiple guide rods 511, so that the distance between the guide rods 511 ultimately matches the size of the safety helmet 700, thereby limiting the horizontal movement and displacement of the safety helmet 700 and accurately guiding the safety helmet 700 to fall.

[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a third lifting mechanism 512 is provided in the storage compartment 510. The third lifting mechanism 512 includes a support plate 5121 for loading the safety helmet 700, a lifting motor 5122 for driving the support plate 5121 to lift, and a pulley module 5123 connecting the lifting motor 5122 and the support plate 5121. The third lifting mechanism 512 is connected to the central control device 520. By setting the third lifting mechanism 512, the position of the support plate 5121 can be raised to better receive the safety helmet 700 falling from above, reduce the falling height of the safety helmet 700, and avoid damage to the safety helmet 700. When the safety helmets 700 are stacked, the third lifting mechanism 512 can drive the support plate 5121 to lower accordingly, so that the distance between the top of the stacked safety helmets 700 and the upper opening of the storage compartment 510 is consistent, preventing the safety helmets 700 from being stacked too high and exceeding the upper opening of the storage compartment 510, and facilitating the neat placement of the safety helmets 700.

[0063] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a blower 513 is provided inside the storage compartment 510. The blower 513 is located at the bottom of the storage compartment 510 and blows air into the storage compartment 510 to keep the inside of the storage compartment 510 ventilated and dry.

[0064] In addition, in some embodiments of this application, an ultraviolet lamp may be installed in the storage compartment 510 to sterilize and disinfect the safety helmets 700 inside the storage compartment 510. The ultraviolet lamp is connected to the central control device 520, and the ultraviolet lamp is turned off when the cabinet door 530 is opened to avoid affecting the staff retrieving the helmets.

[0065] The operation process of the automatic helmet sorting equipment for radiation control areas proposed in this application is as follows: First, according to the indicator lights on the helmets, workers place the helmets into empty temporary storage units 110. Second, the transfer unit 120 connects to one of the temporary storage units 110 containing helmets 700, and the helmets 700 are introduced onto the transfer unit 120 via the short conveyor belt 112. Then, the transfer unit 120 connects to the first conveyor belt to transfer the helmets 700 to the first detection device 200. The transfer unit 120 repeats the above actions multiple times to sequentially transfer all the helmets 700 in the temporary storage units 110 to the first detection device 200. Third, the helmets 700 are detected by the first detection module 210. If the detection is qualified, the helmets 700 enter the second detection device 300; if the detection is unqualified, they are not. If the helmet 700 fails the test in step 3, the first indicator light will issue a warning signal, and the staff will dispose of the helmet containing radioactivity. In step 4, the helmets 700 that passed the test in step 3 will pass through the second detection module 310 and the third detection module in sequence. If they pass the test, the helmets 700 will enter the sorting and conveying unit 410. If they fail the test, the helmets 700 will be sent to the collection container 330 via the second conveyor belt 220. In step 5, the second lifting mechanism 420 will lift the sorting and conveying unit 410 to a position close to the gripping mechanism 430, and the gripping mechanism 430 will grab the helmets 700 on the sorting and conveying unit 410. In step 6, the central control device 520 will control the gripping mechanism 430 to transport the grabbed helmets 700 to the corresponding storage compartment 510 according to the test results of the third detection module, so as to achieve classified storage. When the safety helmet 700 needs to be retrieved, the cabinet door 530 can be automatically unlocked by the central control device 520 to enable quick retrieval of the safety helmet 700. In the event of a power outage, the cabinet door 530 can also be opened manually to avoid the situation where the safety helmet 700 cannot be retrieved.
