[0002] Reactor coolant pump is a critical equipment in the nuclear island of nuclear power plant, and its integrity has a great impact on the safe operation of the primary circuit. The cooling water pipe of the external cooling jacket of the nuclear main pump motor stator needs to pass through the main pump motor housing, and the cooling water pipe and the main pump motor housing are sealed and welded by fillet welds. During welding, due to the thin wall of the cooling water pipe, the inner wall of the pipe is severely oxidized and cannot meet the design requirements. Summary of the invention:
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thin-walled tube outer wall welding inner wall protection device, so as to achieve the gas protection effect of the inner wall when welding the shielded nuclear main pump motor cooling water pipe, and effectively prevent the excessive oxidation of the inner wall of the pipeline. The technical scheme of the present invention is: a thin-walled tube outer wall welding inner wall protection device, one end of the spring (2) is connected to the top sealing ball (1), the other end of the spring (2) is connected to the lower sealing ball (4), and the spring can be bent within a certain range; the lower sealing ball (4) is hollow inside, and the lower sealing ball (4) and the spring (2) are connected with a plurality of exhaust holes (3), and the protective gas enters the main pump motor cooling water pipe (6) and the gap (7) between the top sealing ball (1) and the lower sealing ball (4) through the exhaust holes (3); the ventilation pipe (5) can be bent within a certain range, one end of the ventilation pipe (5) is connected to the lower sealing ball (4), and the other end of the ventilation pipe (5) is connected to the protective gas source.
[0004] The top sealing ball (1) is made of red copper, the spring (2) is made of alloy material, the bottom sealing ball (4) is made of red copper, and the ventilation pipe (5) is a stainless steel metal bellows.
[0005] The top sealing ball (1) is solid inside.
[0006] The top sealing ball (1) is hollow inside.
[0007] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the device of the present invention is inserted into the main pump motor cooling water pipe (6) from the top sealing ball (1) side, and the spring (2) and the lower sealing ball (4) enter the main pump motor cooling water pipe (6). The spring (2) and the vent pipe (5) can be bent according to the bending angle of the main pump motor cooling water pipe (6). By adjusting the insertion depth of the device, the weld (8) is located between the top sealing ball (1) and the lower sealing ball (4). Then, protective gas is introduced into the air inlet (10) of the vent pipe (5). The protective gas is discharged from the exhaust hole (3) through the vent pipe (5) and the lower sealing ball (4). An inert gas protective atmosphere is formed in the gap (7) between the top sealing ball (1) and the lower sealing ball (4) in the pipeline, and the weld (8) between the main pump motor cooling water pipe (6) and the main pump motor housing (9) can be completed.
[0008] Technical effects of the present invention:
[0009] The present invention is a thin-walled pipe outer wall welding inner wall protection device. By adopting a bendable design, the gas protection effect of the inner wall during the welding of the straight and curved cooling water pipes of the shielded nuclear main pump motor is achieved, which effectively prevents excessive oxidation of the inner wall of the pipeline and greatly simplifies the difficulty of operation. That is, it can cooperate with motorized argon arc welding equipment to weld large welds, and can also cooperate with manual tungsten inert gas arc welding to complete smaller welds and weld repair. It has the advantages of simple operation and high weld qualification rate. The weld passes the weld quality inspection and meets the relevant technical requirements. Practice has proved that the achievement has high practical value in engineering.
