Apparatus and method for sampling underwater radioactive solution

摘要

An apparatus and a method for sampling underwater radioactive solution. The apparatus includes a main unit, a connecting rod inserted into the main unit, a connecting ring connected to one side of the connecting rod, a container unit connected to the opposite side of the connecting ring, a solution access channel, an air motor for changing air pressure in the container unit to draw or extract the radioactive solution in or out of the container unit, a holder for fixing the air motor on the main unit, a synchronizing connector for connecting the connecting rod to the air motor, so as to synchronize the back-and-forth movement of the connecting rod with the air pressure of the air motor, a control unit for controlling the operation of the air motor, a flexible pipe connecting the air motor to the control unit, and a depth-setting unit.

主权项

1. A sampling apparatus for underwater radioactive solution, comprising:
a main unit; a connecting rod, inserted into the main unit; a connecting ring, connected to one side of the connecting rod; a container unit, connected to the opposite side of the connecting ring; a solution access channel, as a pathway for the radioactive solution to be drawn in or extracted out of the container unit; a motor having a piston, for changing air pressure in the container unit to draw or extract the radioactive solution in or out of the container unit; a holder, for fixing the motor on the main unit; a synchronizing connector, for connecting the connecting rod to the piston of the motor, so as to synchronize the back-and-forth movement of the connecting rod with the air pressure of the motor; a control unit, for controlling the operation of the piston of the motor and then the sampling operation for the radioactive solution; flexible pipes, connecting the motor to the control unit, so as to provide or release air in the motor; and a depth-setting unit, disposed on outer walls of the main unit to set an underwater depth for the sampling apparatus to sample the radioactive solution.
