When Fig. 3 is in two exploring blocks on the annular framework and is positioned vertical direction respectively for container dicyclo DR/CT pick-up unit and the constitutional diagram during horizontal direction.
Embodiment:
The principal feature of the pick-up unit that the present invention proposes is that it contains the frame (considering from factors such as costs, proper below 10) that (contains 2) more than 2, is installed with detection part on the frame.Described frame is to do 180 °~360 ° rotations, is used to obtain the object faultage image, and the also orientation that can be positioned to set is used to obtain the rotary support of the projection fluoroscopy images of object different parts; Maybe can only be positioned a certain orientation, obtain the fixed frame of the projection fluoroscopy images in this orientation; Maybe can only be positioned certain several orientation but do not possess the semi-stationary frame of continuous spinfunction; Or the combination in any of described three kinds of frames.Pick-up unit also comprises driving mechanism, container (object) translation tractor, signals collecting and processing subsystem, the equipment operation control subsystem of rotary support or semi-stationary frame, the conventional auxiliary equipment of other needs, as shooting, fire hazard monitoring and safety interlocking etc.
When detecting, translation tractor makes object do at the uniform velocity rectilinear scanning campaign or be positioned certain assigned address along the axis direction of frame.When translation tractor makes object make linear uniform motion, fixed frame or be fixed in rotary support or the exploring block on the semi-stationary frame of setting the orientation and can obtain the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images (DR image) of object according to the direction of its location along this direction.When some appointed part of object was positioned in the radiation exposure district of rotary support, rotary support was rotated scanning motion, and exploring block obtains the radial faults image (CT image) at these positions with the frame rotation sweep.The user can take all factors into consideration according to needs and cost factor, determines the quantity and the kind of frame then, rationally arranges it to put in order and orientation, thereby obtains the faultage image of different azimuth projection fluoroscopy images and object zones of different.
Rotary support
Rotary support can be done 180 °~360 ° rotations, is used to obtain the object faultage image, and the also orientation that can be positioned to set is used to obtain the projection fluoroscopy images of object different parts.Its exploring block comprises gamma activity isotope radiographic source and cask flask, exposure cell, shielding valve, collimating apparatus, detector array and front-end circuit and ray drip catcher etc.; Radiographic source is only several millimeters a high specific activity of dimension 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir or 75The Se radioactive isotope.Obtained the cobalt-60 flaw detection source of widespread use in industrial nondestructive examination industry, its activity is first-selected object less than 24TBq, is particularly useful for the detection of large object, helps improving pick-up unit reliability of operation of the present invention.Rotary support generally is the ring rotation frame, its internal diameter should be enough big and make large object such as container be easy to by and can be inclusive within the fan-shaped radiation exposure open country.Radiographic source can also adopt x-ray source, as X-ray machine or accelerator, what X-ray machine or accelerator sent is the X ray of the continuum of different ceiling capacities, except that different aspect the radiation source parts, when adopting the accelerator source " expansion device " that improves the ray spatial distribution state and " filtrator " that improves X-ray energy spectrum need be set, this type of " expansion device " reach " filtrator " all be utilize material to the absorption of ray and high atomic number material to the low energy ray principle of strong absorption more, be the absorber that adopts certain material and shape.The structure of others is constant substantially.
Used detector array is rearranged according to the order of sequence by a plurality of detector array unit that comprise some pixel detectors unit, and array for ionization chamber, multiwire proportional chamber, geiger's tube array, scintillation array detector (as cesium iodide or cadmium tungstate twinkling crystal+photoelectron diode array detector) or semiconductor array detector etc. can be inflated for hyperbar in this detector array unit.
The translation tractor of pick-up unit is electronic wooden handcart, roll shaft formula travelling belt, belt-type transport tape or the chain-plate type transmitting device that travels in orbit, does the translation scan motion in order to drag object.Here can adopt various general and tractors maturation, fully use the open knowledge in this technical field.
If frame must have the function of 180 °~360 ° degree rotations, thereby obtain the faultage image of object a part, its shape is generally annular.
Fixed frame
The structure of fixed frame and rotary support is basic identical, and difference is, this can only to be fixed on a certain orientation motionless, therefore can only obtain the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images in an orientation of object.
Semi-stationary frame
Only need be positioned several directions, thereby obtain the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images in certain several orientation, then frame can be simplified to " Г " shape, " ∏ " shape or other form.It can be changed on several orientation, but does not possess continuous spinfunction.
Further illustrate below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Shown in 1~3, be to be example with the pick-up unit that adopts two annular frameworks, two annular frameworks are respectively 5 and 5 ', are fixed with exploring block on frame 5, by high specific activity 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir or 75Se gamma activity isotope radiation source and container thereof (band shielding valve) 1, exposure cell and preceding collimating apparatus 2, back collimating apparatus 3 and detector array 4 and the compositions such as front-end circuit that match.They interfix respectively on annular framework 5, can rotate synchronously with frame.Detector array 4 rear portions have the shield (claiming ray " drip catcher ") that is used for absorbing the ray that passes detector, and this is the absorbing material piece of strip, generally makes with heavy metal material, and the absorption of ray is decided on its thickness and material.Certainly, also can help or replacement by constructing barrier shield or other protective equipment " drip catcher " stop radiation that personnel or external environment condition are produced deleterious effect.The ring rotation frame 5 of pick-up unit is by large size bearing and support 6 Joints, and this support 6 then is placed on the built-in fitting in the ground (base part that is embedded among the figure in the ground dots) securely.
Annular framework 5 ' and detection part etc. thereof are identical with frame 5, arrange before and after the two.Tested object 7 (large object such as container etc.) places on the translation tractor 8, can do the uniform translation scanning motion by command speed along ring rotation frame axis direction, or be moved and stop finishing the rotation sweep running by ring rotation frame 5 or 5 ' to a certain assigned address.Tractor 8 can be the electronic wooden handcart that travels in orbit as shown in the figure, also can be that roll shaft formula travelling belt, belt-type transport tape, chain-plate type transmitting device or other ripe general routine drag equipment.
When detecting, the shielding valve of opening on the gamma ray source container (1 and 1 ') penetrates and is collimated into arrow gauge shape fan type bundle by gamma-rays by the slit on exposure cell and the preceding collimating apparatus (2 and 2 ').This sheet beam is injected and is aimed in the good detector array (4 and 4 ') by back collimating apparatus 3 and 3 ' (in order to remove scattered ray) again after passing object 7.The ray " drip catcher " that the major part that is not detected the ray that device absorbs will be detected the device rear portion stops and unlikely to producing deleterious effect on every side.Perhaps, also can help or replacement by constructing barrier shield or other protective equipment " drip catcher " stop radiation that personnel or external environment condition are produced deleterious effect.Rotary support is the ring rotation frame, its internal diameter should be enough big and make large object such as container be easy to by and can be inclusive within the fan-shaped radiation exposure open country.
Radiographic source is only several millimeters a high specific activity of dimension 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir or 75The Se radioactive isotope.Obtained the cobalt-60 flaw detection source of widespread use in industrial nondestructive examination industry, its activity is first-selected object less than 24TBq, is particularly useful for the detection of large object, helps improving pick-up unit reliability of operation of the present invention. 137The radiogenic energy of of Cs is 660keV, only reaches 60Half of Co energy of, corresponding penetrating power is also much lower, but its long half time (33 years) is so use wants the time limit much longer. 192Ir or 75The gamma-ray average energy of Se is about 300keV, mainly is applicable to light, small-sized object, and their half life period is short more a lot of than 60Co, but also considerably cheaper of price.
Radiation source also can select for use X-ray machine maybe can produce the miniature electric accelerator of higher-energy X ray, the X ray energy that X-ray machine sends is lower, even its ceiling capacity reaches about 400keV, penetrating power when detecting object also has only tens of millimeters iron, thereby mainly is applicable to middle-size and small-size and light-duty object.Electron accelerator can produce the X ray of higher-energy, and ceiling capacity can reach 9MeV or higher, thereby can realize ratio 60The penetrating power that the Co gamma-rays is higher is suitable for detecting large-scale and heavy object.But general accelerator structure complexity has high-voltage power supply, field coil and microwave generator etc. again, realize having bigger difficulty around the operating mode of object rotation.Therefore, small-sized, the special-purpose accelerator that structure is light and solid and reliable that have only that specialized designs makes could realize making it to center on the detecting pattern that object rotates.Because 60The gamma-ray average energy of Co has reached 1.25MeV, thereby it is little to adopt average energy to be lower than its practical significance of accelerator.The penetrating power of institute's development compact accelerator detection system should surpass at least 60Co gamma-rays detection system.Small-sized accelerator around the object rotation like this can use in pick-up unit of the present invention.Because the accelerator facility complexity will make annular framework continuous 360 ° of rotations often have very big difficulty, can adopt the mode of positive and negative rotation sweep.When adopting accelerator as radiographic source, be to overcome spatial non-uniformity of its output X ray and adjust its power spectrum, need to adopt to rely on the absorption thickness that changes to stabilize preshoot direction radiation intensity " the expansion device " and by heavy metal to the effect of low-energy radiation strong absorption " filtrator " (make output X-ray energy spectrum tendency high energy aspect).Can assert after taking all factors into consideration, under present condition, for large object, the radioactive isotope radiation source 60Co or 137Cs is the preferential selection of pick-up unit of the present invention.Under middle-size and small-size or light-duty object situation, can adopt 192Ir or 75Se radioactive isotope radiation source also can use the X-ray machine radiographic source.When requiring higher penetrating power, need to use the accelerator x-ray source that can center on the object rotation of miniaturization.
Gamma ray source container and shielding valve 1 and 1 ' and exposure cell and preceding collimating apparatus 2 and 2 ' make by metal such as depleted uranium, lead, iron or its alloy.Before collimating slit on the collimating apparatus gamma-rays that radioactive source sent is collimated into as shown in Figure 1 arrow gauge shape, it is being 0.1 ° to 1.0 ° perpendicular to the subtended angle on the direction on ring rotation frame plane, then is not more than 120 ° at the subtended angle of ring rotation frame in-plane.Back collimating apparatus 3 and 3 ' is made by metal such as lead, iron or its alloy, and the width of its collimating slit is equal to or slightly less than the pixel wide of detector array 4 and 4 ', and the collimating slit and the radiogenic active region of collimating apparatus before aiming at.Back collimating apparatus is the same with detector array, and can all make with the radiographic source active region is the camber in the center of circle, and its arc length will guarantee can contain object fully by the irradiation field that it and detector array are limited.Certainly, as long as can make irradiation field contain object, the back collimating apparatus being made into linearity, polyline shaped or other shape with the strong probe designs of battle array, also is feasible.
Detector array 4 and 4 ' is rearranged by some detector array sequence of unit that comprise some pixel detectors unit, and constituting with the radiographic source active region is the arc shape (or the shape that is in line, polyline shaped and other shape) in the center of circle.The installation of radiographic source, preceding collimating apparatus, back collimating apparatus and detector array will make the gamma-rays after collimated inject exactly in the sensitive volume of each pixel detector unit.Detector array 4 and 4 ' effect are to convert electric signal to passing the gamma-rays of injecting in its sensitive volume behind the tested object.Require its detection efficiency and highly sensitive, reliable and stable, and the vibration interference can finely bear exploring block and do the rotation sweep motion time.The first-selected detector array that can satisfy this requirement is " gas-ionization high energy X, the gamma-radiation imaging array detecting device " that Chinese patent ZL93 1 02728.4 and ZL00 1 21545.0 are set forth.Other detector array as multiwire proportional chamber, proportional counter or Geiger pipe array, scintillation detector array (as cesium iodide or cadmium tungstate twinkling crystal+photodiode array) or semiconductor detector array etc., also is to select object for use.According to different detection performance requirement, more than the sectional dimension (Pixel Dimensions) of pixel detector unit of all kinds of detector arrays be 2mm to 40mm scope, cross sectional shape is square, rectangle, circle or other shape.Each pixel detector unit decides on desired detection efficiency along the mass thickness of ray incident direction.For example, when adopting scintillation crystal+photodiode detector array, the thickness of cesium iodide or cadmium tungstate crystal can be chosen in the 3-60mm scope.
Detector array is fitted together with the front-end circuit that matches usually, its output signal is after amplification, analog to digital conversion and collection, obtain the digital radiation projection fluoroscopy images or the digital radiation faultage image of object by Computer Processing, check for the person in charge, and can carry out information processing such as mark, sharpening, storage, printing, transmission and handle.
Tractor 8 is to be independent of ring rotation frame 5 and 5 ' motion in addition.It makes linear uniform motion in order to drag object along ring rotation frame axis direction by command speed, or the appointed part movement of object is positioned in the fan-shaped irradiated region of sheet of ray.Last mode of motion obtains corresponding to the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images, back one mode of motion obtaining corresponding to the radial faults image.For the big object of weight, one of possibility of tractor 8 is the electric trailer that moves in orbit.The load-carrying of this type of tractor can reach 40 tons or higher, can adapt to the detection needs of heavy, big object such as fully loaded container or huge guided missile.Tractor 8 also can be selected the conveying belt of roll shaft formula or other form for use.No matter select which kind of tractor for use, the position that it is in the sheet radiation exposure district is few as far as possible and light, to reduce obtaining the interference of radiation image.When selecting roll shaft type tractor for use, should note at the sheet beam by locating to reserve neutral, to improve the faultage image quality.Because the thickness in sheet radiation exposure zone only is that this requirement is not difficult to realize about 1 centimetre.
Two annular frameworks 5 shown in Figure 1 and 5 ' can be two rotary supports, when needs obtain object along the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images of certain direction, the Schilling exploring block revolves to move in company with rotary support and is positioned corresponding orientation, make object 7 at the uniform velocity by sheet radiation exposure district by tractor 8 then, and the while acquisition process is by the signal of detector array output.When making two exploring blocks on the annular framework be positioned different orientation respectively, just can obtain the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images of two different directions of two correspondences of object simultaneously.Pick-up unit constitutional diagram when the exploring block of annular framework is in vertical orientations and level orientation respectively before and after having provided in Fig. 3.When needs obtain the radial faults image at some position of object, the position that Schilling tractor 8 need detect object is moved and is placed in the arrow gauge shape radiation exposure district, make two exploring blocks on the annular framework do 360 ° of rotation sweep motions then in company with frame, and gather simultaneously and the output signal of handling detector array 4 and 4 ', just can obtain the radial faults image of this two positions object simultaneously.The present invention is in the process of obtaining the tomography radiation image, and large object keeps transfixion, and exploring block is done the rotation sweep motion in company with frame.This object that is difficult to rotate for container or large-scale guided missile etc. is very necessary.
In twin nuclei pick-up unit shown in Figure 1, also can make a frame (generally being the front) be fixed frame or semi-stationary frame, make its orientation that is in setting (as horizontal or vertical orientation) obtain the projection fluoroscopy images of object, and another annular framework is a rotary support, and this frame is in the faultage image that the rotation sweep state obtains the object appointed part.Perhaps, allow two frames be fixed on different azimuth (as the vertical and horizontal orientation) earlier, when the container translation is passed through, can obtain the tomographic projection fluoroscopy images that this gets both direction simultaneously, determine to carry out the position that CT detects according to this two width of cloth image again, then make container turn back to correct position, allow one or two annular frameworks do the rotation sweep motion, thereby obtain a certain position or obtain the faultage image at certain two position simultaneously.
If 3 or more a plurality of frame are set in pick-up unit, can set rotation, semifixed or the quantity of fixed frame and their collocation mode as required, make it that more choice arranged aspect the setting of detecting pattern.More frame quantity can guarantee higher detection efficiency (percent of pass), and the selection collocation of various array modes is easy to imagine, and does not need to overcome more technical barriers, thereby repeats no more.Adopt 60Behind the radioactive isotope radiation sources such as Co, significantly reduced " exploring block " manufacturing cost.And for modern manufacturing industry, cost rotary or fixed frame is not high yet.Therefore, increase a suite of racks and match " exploring block " cost that increased and not really high is an acceptable for pressing for the occasion that improves detection efficiency (percent of pass).Certainly, too much frame quantity is uneconomic, generally adopt 10 more suitable with following formula, promptly frame adds up to 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9.
Outstanding advantage of the present invention is multiple (layer) frame by being provided with and appropriate matched combined between them, and significantly (exponentially) improved the detection efficiency (percent of pass) of pick-up unit, thus the bigger inspection usefulness of performance.Its another advantage is that no matter adopt the radiation source of what type, in obtaining the process of faultage image, object all keeps transfixion and does the rotation sweep motion by " exploring block ".This, is very important as container and large-scale guided missile for the object that should not overturn.
The present invention is applicable to the Non-Destructive Testing of large objects such as container, automobile, package and guided missile.
A kind of application scenario is to detect air container or collection loading bag in the airport, gets rid of explosives, inflammable items, guarantees flight safety.Decide the projection fluoroscopy images of direction and the faultage image of appointed part owing to can obtain to appoint, very help finding and judging suspicious object.Owing to adopt multiple (layer) design, improved detection efficiency (percent of pass) greatly, even the airport heavy traffic also can satisfy the demands.
A kind of application scenario is the local vehicular traffic of checking in customs, important department or mass-meeting gateway etc., provides more effective detection means for preventing the attack of terrorism.
Another possible application scenario is a defective of checking large-scale guided missile internal solids fuel, guarantees launch mass.
