The present application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201711432279.0, filed on Dec. 26, 2017, entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an accelerator, in particular to the field such as mineral analysis and irradiation in which an accelerator is used as a radiation source.
With the continuous improvement of electron accelerator technology, more and more industries use high-power accelerators for various applications. For example, high-energy electrons accelerated by accelerators are used to modify products, and foods are irradiated and sterilized in the food industry. X-rays are commonly used in agriculture for irradiation breeding, stimulating yield, radiation pest control, and for sterilization of instruments in the medical industry and substance identification in the mineral industry.
At present, the high-power acceleration tube has a larger length which is generally more than 1 m. When the acceleration tube is installed and adjusted, it needs to be removed from the accelerator cabin as a whole, thereby resulting in inconvenient operation and low efficiency. Moreover, it is also necessary to reserve a larger space volume outside the accelerator cabin for storing the acceleration tube, thereby causing waste of the application site.
A main objective of the present disclosure is to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and to provide a drawer-type carrying device for an accelerator and an cabin structure for the accelerator, so as to facilitate installation and adjustment of the accelerator, thereby saving operation time and improving space utilization.
In order to achieve the above objective, the present disclosure provides a drawer-type carrying device for an accelerator and an cabin structure for the accelerator, the drawer-type carrying device for the accelerator includes a frame mechanism and a drawing mechanism. The frame mechanism is used for installing the accelerator; the drawing mechanism is connected with the frame mechanism and the frame mechanism is movable relative to the drawing mechanism.
The present disclosure also provides a cabin structure for the accelerator including a cabin body, a shielding mechanism and a drawer-type carrying device for the accelerator. The drawer-type carrying device for the accelerator includes a frame mechanism and a drawing mechanism. The frame mechanism is used for installing the accelerator; the drawing mechanism is connected with the frame mechanism and the frame mechanism is movable relative to the drawing mechanism. The cabin body has a working area and a maintenance area. The shielding mechanism is disposed in the working area and has a side opening door facing towards the maintenance area. The frame mechanism is capable of drawn from the shielding mechanism into the maintenance area when the side opening door is opened.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the advantages in that: the accelerator moves the accelerator in a drawing manner, which greatly reduces the operation difficulty and improves maintenance and adjustment efficiency of the high-power accelerator. Moreover, by utilizing the drawer-type carrying device of the present disclosure, adjustment or maintenance can be accomplished inside the cabin structure for the accelerator. Therefore, it is not necessary to reserve a space volume outside the accelerator cabin, thereby improving utilization of the internal space of the cabin and avoiding waste of the outer space of the cabin.
The various objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are only illustrative of the present disclosure and are not necessarily to scale. In the drawings, like reference numbers generally refer to the same or similar components. In the drawings:
Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be embodied in a variety of forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the concepts of the example embodiments will be fully given to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed descriptions will be omitted.
Although relative terms such as “lower” or “bottom” and “higher” or “top” may be used in the embodiments to describe the relative relationship of one component to another component. It should be understood that if the device is turned upside down, a component described at the “lower” side will become a component at the “higher” side. In addition, when a layer is “on” another layer or substrate, it may possible that the layer is “directly” on the other layer or substrate, or that the layer is on the other layer or substrate, or a further layer is sandwiched between other layers or substrates.
The present disclosure provides a drawer-type carrying device for an accelerator, as shown in
The drawer-type carrying device of the present disclosure may be applied to a cabin structure for an accelerator. As shown in
Therefore, when the accelerator 100 needs to be adjusted or maintained, the frame mechanism 10 carrying the accelerator 100 may be drawn, so that the accelerator 100 located in the working area A1 is moved relative to the drawing mechanism 20 to the maintenance area A2, and adjustment and maintenance may be accomplished in the cabin 30.
Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure moves the accelerator 100 in a drawing manner, which greatly reduces the operation difficulty and improving maintenance and adjustment efficiency of the high-power accelerator 100. Moreover, by utilizing the drawer-type carrying device of the present disclosure, adjustment or maintenance can be accomplished inside the cabin structure for the accelerator. Therefore, it is not necessary to reserve a space volume outside the accelerator 100 cabin 30, thereby improving utilization of the internal space of the cabin 30 and avoiding waste of the outer space of the cabin 30.
