Embodiment 1

[0064] This embodiment provides an online detection device for the appearance size of fuel pellets, which is suitable for online detection of the appearance size of various types of fuel pellets, especially for online detection of the appearance size of MOX nuclear fuel pellets.

[0065] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the online detection device includes: a pellet rotation unit 2 , a pellet peripheral surface photographing unit 3 , a pellet transfer unit 6 , a pellet end surface photographing unit 5 , an image processing unit 18 and a control unit 17 .

[0066] The pellet rotating unit 2 is used to drive the fuel pellet 1 at the first preset position to rotate around its axis at a constant speed, so as to ensure complete image acquisition of the peripheral surface of the fuel pellet. The pellet peripheral surface photographing unit 3 is used to continuously photograph the peripheral surface of the fuel pellet 1 during the rotation of the fuel pellet 1 to obtain a co...

Embodiment 2

[0116] This embodiment provides an online detection method for the appearance size of fuel pellets, which is suitable for online detection of the appearance size of various types of fuel pellets, and is especially suitable for online detection of the appearance size of MOX nuclear fuel pellets.

[0117] Such as Figure 4 As shown, as a specific implementation manner of this embodiment, the online detection method includes the following steps S101 to S105.

[0118] S101. Driving the fuel pellet at the first preset position to rotate at a constant speed around its axis;

[0119] S102. Continuously photographing the peripheral surface of the fuel pellet during the rotation of the fuel pellet to obtain a complete image of the peripheral surface of the fuel pellet;

[0120] S103. Automatically transfer the fuel pellets from the first preset position to the second preset position;

[0121] S104. Shooting the end face of the fuel pellet at the second preset position to obtain a com...

Abstract

The invention provides an on-line detection device and method for external dimension of a fuel pellet. The on-line detection device comprises a fuel pellet rotary unit, a fuel pellet circumferential surface photographing unit, a fuel pellet transferring unit, a fuel pellet end surface photographing unit and an image processing unit, wherein the fuel pellet rotary unit is used for driving the fuelpellet located at a first preset position to rotate at a constant speed around the axis line; the fuel pellet circumferential surface photographing unit is used for continuously photographing the circumferential surface of the fuel pellet in the fuel pellet rotation process to obtain a complete image of the circumferential surface; the fuel pellet transferring unit is used for automatically transferring the fuel pellet from the first preset position to a second preset position; the fuel pellet end surface photographing unit is used for photographing the end surface of the fuel pellet located at the second preset position to obtain a complete image of the end surface; and the image processing unit is used for separately processing the complete image of circumferential surface and the complete image of the end surface to obtain and output the length, outer diameter, center pore diameter and chamfer size of the fuel pellet. According to the on-line detection device and method for the external dimension of the fuel pellet, detection of the outer diameter, the length, the center pore diameter and the chamfer size of the MOX nuclear fuel pellet can be automatically, efficiently and highly accurately completed, and the compatibility is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear fuel element detection, in particular to an online detection device for the appearance size of fuel pellets and an online detection method for the appearance size of fuel pellets. Background technique [0002] MOX nuclear fuel pellets are based on UO 2 Powder and PuO 2 Powder is used as a raw material, and ceramic bodies made by mechanical mixing, pressing and sintering are widely used in pressurized water reactors and fast reactors as nuclear fuels. [0003] During and after the production of MOX nuclear fuel pellets, due to sintering, transfer and other reasons, the length, outer diameter, central hole diameter, chamfering and other dimensions of the pellets tend to exceed the product specifications, and at the same time, defects such as pellet breakage are also caused. Will cause changes in the size of the pellets. The appearance size of MOX nuclear fuel pellets exceeds the standard. On the ...
