The invention provides a lunar surface trace
helium-3 enrichment detection device and method.The lunar surface trace
helium-3 enrichment detection device comprises a movable lunar rover, the lower end of the movable lunar rover is provided with a sampling enrichment
drill bit, and the upper end of the movable lunar rover is provided with a detection device; the sampling and enriching
drill bit is of an axis hollow structure, a plurality of small holes penetrating through the
drill bit wall are formed in the bottom end of a
drill bit blade, and the
tail ends of the small holes are connected with a fine mesh screen for screening and enriching
lunar soil fine particles with the particle size smaller than hundreds of microns; the fine mesh screen is communicated with the axis area of the
drill bit, and a heating wire is arranged in the axis area. According to the enrichment detection device and method for the extremely trace
helium-3 on the lunar surface, by integrating the heating, filtering and enriching functions and combining the
mass spectrometer or the
neutron detector, high-precision detection of the extremely trace helium-3 in
lunar soil can be achieved, and the problem that low-concentration helium-3 is difficult to accurately measure in the traditional technology is solved. The functions of crushing, heating, filtering, enriching and detecting are integrated, the operation process is simplified, the equipment complexity and the
failure rate are reduced, and the device is suitable for the
extreme environment of the lunar surface.
