The utility model provides a radioactive source passive self-indicating device.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the radioactive source passive self-indicating device includes a housing 1, a shielding member 2, a detecting member 3, a connecting member 4 and an indicating member 5, a containing cavity 11 is provided in the housing 1, the containing cavity 11 is used for containing a radioactive source a, the shielding member 2 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and is used for containing the radioactive source a in the containing cavity for airtight storage, the detecting member 3 is installed on one side of the shielding member 2 and is disposed opposite to the radioactive source a, one end of the connecting member 4 penetrates through the shielding member 2 and is connected to the detecting member 3, and the other end of the connecting member 4 is connected to the indicating member 5. That is, the utility model provides an among the technical scheme, through inciting somebody to action detection piece 3 sets up hold in 11, in order to right accept in hold in 11 the radiation source A detects, and passes through the testing result connecting piece 4 transmit extremely 5 departments of indicator to whether can in time discover the radiation source and shift out or lose, in order to prevent the emergence of radiation accident effectively.
Because the radioactive source a and the detecting element 3 are both disposed in the accommodating cavity 11, after the radiation generated by the radioactive source a interacts with the detecting element 3, an optical signal or an electrical signal is generated inside the detecting element 3, and the optical signal or the electrical signal can be transmitted to the indicating element 5 through the connecting element 4, at this time, the indicating element 5 can indicate whether the accommodating cavity 11 has the emission source a.
For example, when the connecting member 4 is a light guide and the indicator 5 is an LED lamp, the LED lamp is continuously turned on when the radioactive source a in the accommodating chamber 11 is normal, and the LED lamp is turned off when the radioactive source a in the accommodating chamber 11 is removed or lost.
Or, the connecting piece 4 is a lead, the indicating piece 5 is an alarm device, at this time, when the radioactive source A in the accommodating cavity 11 is normal, the alarm device does not give an alarm, and when the radioactive source A in the accommodating cavity 11 is moved out or lost, the alarm device starts to give an alarm. Wherein, the alarm device can be a sound production device such as a loudspeaker.
Further, the detecting element 3 utilizes fluorescence imaging technology to realize energy conversion, and can be divided into a direct conversion mode and an indirect conversion mode according to the conversion mode. Wherein, the ray photon is directly converted into the electric signal after the device adopted by the direct conversion mode is exposed by the ray; the indirect conversion device converts radiation photons into visible light and then converts the visible light into electrical signals.
Specifically, when detection piece 3 adopts the direct conversion mode, detection piece 3 is the dull and stereotyped detector of amorphous selenium, and it is shown to combine figure 2, the dull and stereotyped detector of amorphous selenium includes first articulamentum 31 and amorphous selenium layer 32, first articulamentum 31 is installed one side of shield 2, and with connecting piece 4 passes the one end of shield 2 is connected, amorphous selenium layer 32 is located one side of first articulamentum 31, and with radiation source A sets up relatively.
That is, the amorphous selenium layer 32 is a photoconductive material, after being irradiated by radiation, the amorphous selenium layer 32 directly forms an electron and hole pair, the electron and hole pair moves in opposite directions to form a current, and the current forms a stored charge in the first connection layer 31, that is, forms an electrical signal, and is transmitted to the indicator 5 through the connection member 4 connected to the first connection layer 31.
Alternatively, the first connection layer 31 is a Thin Film semiconductor array (TFT).
Specifically, when the detection piece 3 adopts an indirect conversion mode, the detection piece 3 is an amorphous silicon flat panel detector, as shown in fig. 3, the amorphous silicon flat panel detector includes a second connection layer 33, an amorphous silicon layer 34 and a first light-emitting layer 35, the second connection layer 33 is installed on one side of the shielding piece 2 and is connected with one end of the connecting piece 4 penetrating through the shielding piece 2, the amorphous silicon layer 34 is installed on one side of the second connection layer 33, and the first light-emitting layer 35 is installed on one side of the amorphous silicon layer 34 and is opposite to the radiation source a.

Optionally, the first light emitting layer 35 is a scintillator, and a material of the scintillator is at least one of cesium iodide, sodium iodide, bismuth germanate, calcium tungstate, and cadmium tungstate. When rays are incident to the scintillator, ray photon energy is converted into visible light photons to be emitted, and the visible light excites the photodiode to generate current.

Cesium iodide CsI(Tl) 4.51 45 1.0 0.5-5
Bismuth germanate BGO 7.13 8 0.3 0.005
Calcium tungstate CaWO4 6.12 50 0.-20 1-5
Cadmium tungstate CdWO4 7.9 65 0.5-20 0.0005
Wherein, the efficiency of converting X-ray into light by sodium iodide is about 15%, and the conversion rate of other materials gives relative conversion efficiency by taking the conversion efficiency of sodium iodide as 100%; the decay constant is the time it takes for the signal to decay to 37% of the maximum intensity.
In an exemplary technique, calcium tungstate, which is commonly used for X-ray detection, has the advantages of high absorption efficiency, stable physicochemical properties, and low requirements for raw material purity in preparation. The sulfide is also a material which is applied earlier, has stronger universality, and can be used for a perspective screen, an intensifying screen and an image intensifier.
The cesium iodide adopted in the embodiment has the same luminous efficiency as sulfide, but has higher absorption efficiency for rays than sulfide, so that under the excitation of gamma rays or X rays, the total efficiency is higher, but the luminous performance of the cesium iodide in the atmosphere and moisture is reduced, namely, the flat panel detector in the device is positioned in the accommodating cavity 11 to protect the cesium iodide, so that the problem of material performance reduction is avoided, and better absorption efficiency is realized.

The following table shows the main properties of the materials of the different phosphors:
name (R) Molecular formula Density g/cm3 Peak emission wavelength μm Decay constant ns
Cadmium zinc sulfide ZnCdS(A g,N i) 4.5 550 85
Gadolinium oxysulfide Gd2O2S(T b) 7.3 544 480000
Lanthanum oxybromide LaboBr - 460 -
Zinc sulfide ZnS(A g,N i) 4.1 450 60

The radioactive photoluminescence is a luminescence phenomenon caused by the bombardment of luminescent substances by high-energy gamma rays or X rays, and the principle is as follows: the radioactive photoluminescent material can produce the Compton effect under the irradiation of radiation and also produce the photoelectric effect, which can produce high-speed photoelectrons. The photoelectrons undergo inelastic collision and continue to generate a generation of electrons, and when the energy of the electrons is close to the energy required by luminescence transition, the luminescence center can be excited or ionized, and then the light is emitted, namely, one gamma ray or X-ray photon can initiate a plurality of luminescence photons.
Further, when the detecting element 3 is an amorphous silicon flat panel detector, the amorphous silicon flat panel detector may also be in another form, as shown in fig. 4, the amorphous silicon flat panel detector includes a third connection layer 36, and the third connection layer 36 is installed on one side of the shielding element 2 and connected to one end of the connecting element 4 penetrating through the shielding element 2; a light-gathering member 37, wherein the light-gathering member 37 is disposed on one side of the third connection layer 36; and a second luminescent layer 38, wherein the second luminescent layer 38 is disposed on one side of the light-gathering member 37 and is opposite to the radiation source a.
