  • Publication number: 20240411045
    Abstract: A mobile radiation inspection apparatus includes a vehicle body, a traveling mechanism, a boom assembly, a first imaging device, and a second imaging device. The boom assembly is mounted on the vehicle body and is configured to switch between an inspection state and a transportation state. The first imaging device includes a first ray source and a first ray detector both mounted on the boom assembly. The first ray source is positioned at the top of an inspection channel. The second imaging device includes a second ray source and a second ray detector. The second ray detector cooperates with the second ray source to detect rays emitted by the second ray source, and the second ray source is positioned on a side surface of the inspection channel.

  • Patent number: 12128935
    Abstract: A bolster beam is correspondingly connected to a connection base by means of a damping unit; the radial dimensions of an outer wall of an inner supporting member and an inner wall of an outer supporting member gradually decrease from one end to the other end in a vertical direction; one of the inner supporting member and the outer supporting member is connected to the connection base, and the other one is connected to the bolster beam; when in use, the inner supporting member and the outer supporting member tend to be close to each other, and since surfaces, close to each other, of the two are configured to be tapered, the two can-not be relatively separated; when getting closer to each other, the inner supporting member and the outer supporting member produce a compression action on an intermediate buffer member, and the intermediate buffer member is elastically deformable.

  • Patent number: 11702936
    Abstract: A grouting device for high-coagulability grouting materialsincludes a grouting pipe, a connector and a self-sealing pipe head, wherein one end of the connector is connected with a grouting pump through the grouting pipe, the other end of the connector is connected with the self-sealing pipe head through the grouting pipe, and the grouting pipe is connected with the connector and the self-sealing pipe head in a fixed and sealed mode. The grouting device is easy to install, features reliable connection between the grouting pipe and the connector and the self-sealing pipe head, and can be reused. Because the inner diameter of the connector is consistent with the inner diameter of the grouting pipe, and a slurry outlet on an end cap of the self-sealing pipe head is a circular slurry outlet, pressure loss in the grouting process is effectively reduced, and the grouting effect is good.
