Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an X-ray fluorescence analyzer, and more particularly, to an X-ray fluorescence analyzer including a cap for detecting noise and a beam stopper for disposing a detector at an angle to improve efficiency of light collection.
An X-ray fluorescence analyzer refers to a device that irradiates a sample with an X-ray and thereby measures and analyzes the X-rays generated from the sample. X-ray fluorescence spectrometers are used in non-destructive testing to check quality or condition of products.
In addition, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is used to confirm the exposure of radiation. For example, an X-ray fluorescence analysis apparatus can be used to irradiate an X-ray to a sample exposed to radiation, thereby measuring an X-ray generated in the sample. In this case, the measured x-rays can be converted into data to confirm the type and amount of radiation.
In recent years, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has been used as a main device for analyzing components in a variety of fields such as environment, new material development, and semiconductor fixation. These X-ray fluorescence analyzers require accurate measurements.
That is, it is important that the X-ray fluorescence analysis apparatus irradiate the X-ray to the sample and improve the accuracy by removing the noise in the process of measuring the X-ray generated from the sample again.
An embodiment of the present invention is to provide an X-ray fluorescence analysis apparatus capable of improving the efficiency of light collection and removing noise.
An X-ray fluorescence analysis apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a head part including a cylindrical X-ray irradiator disposed inside the housing and irradiating an X-ray, a sample part disposed below the head part, And a detection unit for detecting an X-ray, wherein the detection unit includes a cap and a cylindrical light receiver, wherein the cap includes a guide unit having a through-hole through which the X-ray enters, And a body portion, wherein one end of the light receiver is inserted into the body portion.
The detector may be arranged such that an extension line of the center axis of the light receiver and an extension line of the central axis of the X-ray irradiator form an angle of 55 °.
The apparatus further includes a beam stopper disposed at a lower portion of the sample portion and disposed on an extension of a central axis of the X-ray irradiator.
The beam stopper may include a bottom portion facing the X-ray irradiator, a sidewall portion bent upward from an edge of the bottom portion, and a ceiling portion positioned at an upper end of the sidewall portion and substantially parallel to the bottom portion, And the ceiling portion has an opening through which the X-ray is incident.
Further, the opening is smaller than the bottom.
The guide portion may have an inner diameter that increases as the distance from the through hole increases, and increases at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the center axis of the light receiver.
The diameter of the through hole is 3 mm or more and 4 mm or less.
In addition, a sealing member is further provided between the light receiver and the cap.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cap may be disposed at one end of a photodetector constituting a detection unit to collect x-rays generated from a specimen and prevent scattered x-rays from being incident on other components such as a housing.
Further, the beam stopper disposed at the lower portion of the sample portion is disposed on the extension line of the central axis of the X-ray irradiator. The beam stopper has a bottom portion facing the X-ray irradiator and an opening through which the X-ray is incident on the top of the bottom portion. Here, the size of the opening is smaller than the size of the bottom portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the X-ray incident on the opening portion from being absorbed or scattered inside the beam stopper, but being leaked to the outside. Thereby, noise can be removed.
On the other hand, the detection unit is disposed so that the extension line of the center axis of the X-ray irradiator and the extension line of the center axis of the light receiver form an angle of 55 °. This has the effect of collecting the largest number of x-rays in the radial direction (4π direction).

However, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the drawings or embodiments described below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings are merely exemplary and illustrative of various embodiments of the invention.
In order to facilitate the understanding of the invention, each component and its shape or the like in the drawing may be briefly drawn or exaggerated, and components in an actual product may be omitted without being represented. Accordingly, the drawings are to be construed as illustrative of the invention. In the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.
Throughout the specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" to another part, it includes not only "directly connected" but also "electrically connected" with another part in between . Also, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without departing from the other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.
The terms first, second, third, etc. in this specification may be used to describe various components, but such components are not limited by these terms. The terms are used for the purpose of distinguishing one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be referred to as a second or third component, and similarly, the second or third component may be alternately named.
It is also to be understood that where a layer or element is referred to as being "on the surface" of another layer or element, it is to be understood that not only is the layer or element disposed in direct contact with the other layer or element, To the case where the third layer is disposed interposed between the first and second layers.

When the hot electrons are accelerated and collide with the silver (Ag) particles, the energy level of the electrons constituting the silver (Ag) atoms changes. Such changes in the energy level can lead to x-rays having an energy of 20 keV or more. Therefore, it is possible to detect the characteristic radiation generated from uranium (Uranium) and plutonium (Plutonium).
