Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radioactive material transportation technology, specifically a lead-protected transport container. Background Technology
[0002] The transport of radioactive materials must strictly adhere to safety regulations to prevent radiation leaks from harming personnel and the environment. While traditional radioactive material transport devices offer some protection, some products suffer from insufficient sealing performance, inadequate tamper-proof mechanisms, and simplistic protective structures.
[0003] Some transport containers are protected only by a single shell or a simple lead layer, which is insufficient to effectively shield against high-intensity radiation. The connection structure between the lid and the body of some containers lacks stability and may loosen during transport, increasing the risk of leakage. Furthermore, the lack of reliable lead seals or locking structures makes it impossible to ensure that the device has not been opened without authorization during transport, posing a threat to the safe management of radioactive materials. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transport device with multiple layers of protection, reliable sealing, and strong tamper-proof capabilities to meet the requirements for the safe transport of radioactive materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a lead-protected transport container, including a container body and a container cover, wherein a slot is provided on the top of the container body, and a sealing cylinder is fixedly installed on the bottom of the container cover. When the container cover is installed on the top of the container body, the sealing cylinder is inserted into the slot on the container body, and a radioactive material storage cavity is formed between the bottom of the sealing cylinder and the inner wall of the slot on the container body. The top of the tank is also provided with a protective cover, and the tank cover is inside the protective cover. Lead-sealing bolts are symmetrically arranged between the tank and the protective cover. Lead-sealing posts are symmetrically arranged on the top of the tank, and the double lead-sealing bolts and lead-sealing posts are connected by lead seals.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the sealing cylinder is tapered, and the outer peripheral wall of the sealing cylinder is in close contact with the inner wall of the slot.
[0007] Preferably, the interior of the tank is filled with tank lead material, and the interior of the sealing cylinder is filled with sealing lead material.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the tank is symmetrically equipped with locking posts, the locking posts penetrate the tank cover, and the locking posts have lock holes for installing padlocks.
[0009] Preferably, tank body lifting lugs are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the tank body, and tank cover lifting lugs are installed at the top geometric center of the tank cover.
[0010] Preferably, the can lid has multiple through mounting holes, and fixing bolts are installed between the mounting holes and the can body.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the protective cover is rotatably provided with a handle.
[0012] Its beneficial effects are as follows: 1. The lead-protected transport container is connected to the protective cover by lead-sealing bolts and lead-sealing posts.

[0019] This utility model discloses a lead-protected transport container, according to the attached... Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2. The top of the tank body 1 is provided with a slot, and a sealing cylinder 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank cover 2. When the tank cover 2 is installed on the top of the tank body 1, the sealing cylinder 3 is inserted into the slot on the tank body 1, and a radioactive material storage cavity 4 is formed between the bottom of the sealing cylinder 3 and the inner wall of the slot of the tank body 1. The top of the tank body 1 is also provided with a protective cover 5, and the tank cover 2 is located inside the protective cover 5. Lead-sealing bolts 51 are symmetrically arranged between the tank body 1 and the protective cover 5. Lead-sealing posts 13 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the tank body 1, and the double lead-sealing bolts 51 and the lead-sealing posts 13 are connected by a lead seal.
[0020] The tank body 1 and the protective cover 5 are connected by lead-sealing bolts 51 and lead-sealing posts 13. Once the lead seal is broken, it can be visually identified, effectively preventing the device from being opened without authorization during transportation.
[0021] According to the appendix Figure 2 As shown, it is particularly important to emphasize that the bottom of the sealing cylinder 3 is set in a conical shape, and the outer peripheral wall of the sealing cylinder 3 is in close contact with the inner wall of the slot.
[0022] The outer peripheral wall of the sealing cylinder 3 fits tightly against the inner wall of the slot of the tank body 1, and the bottom is designed in a conical shape, which facilitates installation and enhances the sealing of the radioactive material storage cavity 4.
[0023] The interior of the tank body 1 is filled with tank lead material 11, and the interior of the sealing cylinder 3 is filled with sealing lead material 31.
[0024] The tank body 1 is filled with tank lead material 11, and the sealing cylinder 3 is filled with sealing lead material 31, forming a double lead protection structure, which can effectively absorb and shield the radiation released by radioactive materials, and greatly reduce the risk of radiation leakage.
[0025] According to the appendix Figure 3-4As shown, it is particularly important to emphasize that the top of the tank body 1 is symmetrically equipped with locking pins 12, which penetrate the tank cover 2, and the locking pins 12 are provided with lock holes for installing padlocks.
[0026] Tank body lifting lugs 14 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the tank body 1, and tank cover lifting lugs 21 are installed at the top geometric center of the tank cover 2.
[0027] The can lid 2 has multiple through mounting holes, and fixing bolts 22 are installed between the mounting holes and the can body 1.
[0028] The can lid 2 is connected to the can body 1 by fixing bolts 22 and locked by the padlock of locking pin 12, which further ensures the stability of the connection between the can lid 2 and the can body 1 and prevents loosening or leakage caused by bumps during transportation.
[0029] The top of the protective cover 5 is rotatably provided with a handle 52.
[0030] The tank body lifting lug 14 and the tank lid lifting lug 21 facilitate the handling of the entire unit or components using lifting equipment; the handle 52 on the top of the protective cover 5 allows for easy manual opening and closing of the protective cover 5, and the tank lid lifting lug 21 also facilitates the separate lifting of the tank lid 2, improving the ease of loading, unloading and operation of the device. Working principle: In use, radioactive material is placed in the radioactive material storage cavity 4 formed by the bottom of the sealing cylinder 3 and the inner wall of the slot in the container 1. The container lid 2 is then placed on top, and the sealing cylinder 3 is inserted into the slot in the container 1. The container lid 2 is then securely connected to the container 1 using the fixing bolts 22, and locked using the padlock on the locking pin 12 to ensure a stable connection between the container lid 2 and the container 1. At this time, the lead material 11 of the container and the sealing lead material 31 form a double radiation shielding layer, preventing radiation from leaking out of the radioactive material storage cavity 4.
[0031] Subsequently, the protective cover 5 is placed on top and sealed with lead-sealed bolts 51 and lead-sealed posts 13 to complete the tamper-proof setup. During transportation, the lifting lugs 14 on the container body and 21 on the container cover can be used with lifting equipment to move the entire container or individual parts. The handle 52 facilitates manual operation of the protective cover 5. If it is necessary to open the device, the lead seal must be broken first, and the padlock and fixing bolts 22 must be opened. The operation process is standardized and traceable, ensuring the safety and controllability of the entire transportation of radioactive materials.
