As shown in fig. 1-3, embodiments of the present application provide a shielding structure 100 that is primarily used for shielding radiation of a radiation therapy device 1000. The shielding structure 100 includes a support frame 110 and a shielding can 120.
Referring to fig. 4, the shielding cover 120 is disposed on the support frame 110, and defines an open structure 130 with the support frame 110, so as to cover the circumference of the radiotherapy apparatus 1000, i.e. the outer circumference direction of the radiotherapy apparatus 1000.
Wherein at least a portion of the shield 120 is movable relative to the radiation treatment apparatus 1000 such that a service area of the radiation treatment apparatus 1000 is readily exposed.
According to the shielding structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the application, the shielding cover 120 is arranged on the supporting frame 110, the supporting frame 110 is used for supporting the shielding cover 120 so as to realize stable installation of the shielding cover 120, and the shielding cover 120 is used for shielding radiation rays of the radiotherapy equipment 1000. And the shielding cover 120 and the support frame 110 define an open structure 130, so that the shielding structure 100 can be covered on the circumference of the radiotherapy apparatus 1000, thereby shielding the radiation of the radiotherapy apparatus 1000.
At least a portion of the shield 120 is movable relative to the radiation treatment apparatus 1000 to form a relief space to facilitate installation, removal, and maintenance of the radiation treatment apparatus 1000. The technical problems that the self-shielding body in the related art is fixedly connected with the radiotherapy equipment and cannot move, so that the installation, the disassembly and the maintenance are inconvenient are solved.
It will be readily appreciated that the shield 120 may be moved relative to the radiation treatment apparatus 1000 in such a manner that the support frame 110 is stationary relative to the radiation treatment apparatus 1000, and the shield 120 is moved relative to the support frame 110 so that the shield 120 is moved relative to the radiation treatment apparatus 1000; it is also possible that the support frame 110 moves relative to the radiation therapy device 1000 to drive the shield 120 to move synchronously relative to the radiation therapy device 1000.
It should be noted that, the shielding cover 120 and the supporting frame 110 define an open structure 130, so as to cover the circumference of the radiotherapy apparatus 1000, and the main radiation ray of the radiotherapy apparatus 1000 can be shielded by using the open structure 130, so that the shielding requirement of the machine room is greatly reduced, and the accelerator can directly replace the gamma knife apparatus.
The built gamma knife machine room is not required to be subjected to excessive shielding transformation, the transformation cost of the machine room is reduced, the transformation period is shortened, the technical problem that the area of the machine room is reduced due to the fact that the thickness of a shielding wall is increased inwards in the machine room in the related art is avoided, and the gamma knife machine room is beneficial to popularization of accelerator replacement gamma knife equipment.
For newly-built computer lab, owing to set up open structure 130 and reduced the shielding requirement of computer lab to can effectively attenuate the thickness of shielding wall, and then reduce the computer lab capital construction investment, and make the interior area of computer lab great relatively, promote the use experience.
To reduce the impact of radiation leakage from the radiation therapy device on surrounding personnel and devices, the machine room is usually planned to be a negative first floor or a negative second floor in the ground. The whole concrete casting of the machine room wall surface usually needs to cost millions of single-room construction cost, and the land utilization rate is low (occupied by concrete materials).
The open shielding structure 100 can shield radiation rays at a nearby location of the radiation therapy device 1000, reduces radiation ray diffusion, controls at the source, and is more environment-friendly. The shielding pressure of the whole wall surface is reduced, and the construction requirement on the whole shielding of the machine room can be reduced.
By providing an open shielding structure 100, the overall leakage of radiation rays from the radiation therapy device 1000 is reduced, allowing the machine room to be designed in a floor building.
