[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 9As shown, the present invention provides a target assembly, comprising a first end plug 1, a locking tube 2, a second end plug 3, a connecting tube 6, a third end plug 7 and a target rod 8 which are sequentially connected along the axial direction, wherein the first end plug 1 is used to be connected to a clamping system, and the first end plug 1 and the locking tube 2 are movably connected, and a limiting member 4 is provided inside the connecting tube 6, and the limiting member 4 can be moved along the axial direction to be connected to the first end plug 1 so that the first end plug 1 and the locking tube 2 are connected in position, and the limiting member 4 can be moved along the axial direction to be separated from the first end plug 1 so that the first end plug 1 and the locking tube 2 are detachably connected.
[0036] The target assembly comprises a first end plug 1, a clamping tube 2, a second end plug 3, a connecting tube 6, a third end plug 7 and a target rod 8, which is connected to the clamping system through the first end plug 1. The first end plug 1 and the clamping tube 2 are detachably connected, and locking and unlocking are achieved through a mechanical clamping structure, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, so that structural parts such as the clamping system can be reused, which not only reduces the cost of the radiation target, but also reduces the generation of radioactive waste. At the same time, the underwater disassembly process of the target assembly will not generate debris and dropped parts, and will not affect the water quality of the spent fuel pool.
[0037] Among them, the node for installation and disassembly is located between the first end plug 1 and the locking tube 2, and the locking and unlocking functions are realized by adjusting the position of the limit member 4. When the limit member 4 moves along the locking direction, it abuts against the first end plug 1 and forms a limit on the first end plug 1, so as to achieve the effect of relatively fixing the position of the first end plug 1 relative to the locking tube 2, and realizing that the locking tube 2 and the first end plug 1 are in a locked state; when the limit member 4 moves along the unlocking direction, it separates from the first end plug 1, and the first end plug 1 can move, so as to achieve the effect of relatively moving the position of the first end plug 1 relative to the locking tube 2, and realizing that the locking tube 2 and the first end plug 1 are in an unlocked state.
[0038] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, a portion of the first end plug 1 is located inside the locking tube 2 and is detachably connected to the locking tube 2, one end of the locking tube 2 is fixedly connected to the first end of the second end plug 3, the second end of the second end plug 3 is fixedly connected to the first end of the connecting tube 6, the second end of the connecting tube 6 is fixedly connected to the first end of the third end plug 7, and the second end of the third end plug 7 is fixedly connected to the target rod 8.
[0039] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the first end of the second end plug 3 has a first annular recess 33, the locking tube 2 is sleeved on the first annular recess 33, the second end of the second end plug 3 has a second annular recess 73, the connecting tube 6 is sleeved on the second annular recess 73, and the second end plug 3 and the locking tube 2 can be welded, and the second end plug 3 and the connecting tube 6 can be welded.
[0040] Among them, Fig. 9As shown, the first end of the third end plug 7 has a third annular recess, the connecting tube 6 is sleeved on the third annular recess, the second end of the third end plug 7 has a fourth annular recess 74, the target rod 8 is sleeved on the fourth annular recess 74, and the third end plug 7 and the connecting tube 6 can be welded, and the third end plug 7 and the target rod 8 can be welded.
[0041] The outer diameters of the engaging tube 2, the second end plug 3, the connecting tube 6, the third end plug 7 and the target rod 8 may be approximately consistent for installation and use.
[0042] The target rod 8 comprises a cladding, a target box, a spacer, a lower end plug and other structural components.
[0043] In one possible implementation, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the working position of the locking tube 2 has a locking position and an unlocking position. When the locking tube 2 is in the locking position, the first end plug 1 forms a stopper for the locking tube 2 in the direction of axial movement. When the locking tube 2 is in the unlocking position, the locking tube 2 can move axially until it is separated from the first end plug 1.
[0044] It can be understood that, when the first end plug 1 and the locking tube 2 are connected, the locking tube 2 can rotate with its own axis as the rotation center, and there are a locking position and an unlocking position during the rotation of the locking tube 2. When the locking tube 2 is rotated to the locking position, the first end plug 1 forms a stopper for the locking tube 2 moving axially, and the locking tube 2 also forms a stopper for the first end plug 1 moving axially, keeping the positions of the locking tube 2 and the first end plug 1 relatively stable; when the locking tube 2 is rotated to the unlocking position aligned with the first end plug 1, the first end plug 1 does not form a stopper for the locking tube 2 moving axially, and the locking tube 2 can move axially away from the first end plug 1 and separate from the first end plug 1.
[0045] In one possible implementation, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the first end plug 1 includes a first rod body 11, one end of the first rod body 11 is provided with a connecting structure 12 for connecting to a clamping system, the other end of the first rod body 11 is axially provided with a rod member 13, and the end of the rod member 13 away from the first rod body 11 is provided with a snap joint 14, and a part of the snap joint 14 protrudes from the outer edge contour of the rod member 13; the second end plug 3 includes a pipe fitting 21, and the pipe fitting 21 has an axially opened step hole, the step hole includes a coaxially arranged slide groove 22 and a snap groove 23, the inner diameter of the snap groove 23 is larger than the inner diameter of the slide groove 22, and a step surface 24 for abutting against the snap joint 14 is formed at the connection between the slide groove 22 and the snap groove 23.
[0046] The outer diameter of the first rod body 11 is greater than the outer diameter of the rod member 13 , and the outer diameter of the rod member 13 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sliding groove 22 .
[0047] Among them, the snap-fit joint 14 includes a long side and a short plate, and the cross-sectional shape of the slide groove 22 is also adapted to the snap-fit joint 14. When the snap-fit joint 14 is located inside the slide groove 22, the two are matched with a small gap. The width of the long side of the snap-fit joint 14 is greater than the width of the short side of the slide groove 22, and the width of the long side of the snap-fit joint 14 is less than the inner diameter of the slot 23.
[0048] Among them, when the locking joint 14 is located in the locking groove 23, the locking tube 2 can rotate along the circumferential direction to realize the position switching between the locked position and the unlocked position, and the locking joint 14 is pushed to abut against the step surface 24 through the limit member 4, thereby limiting the rotation of the locking tube 2, keeping the positions of the locking tube 2 and the first end plug 1 relatively fixed, and improving stability.
[0049] The first rod body 11 is a cylindrical structure, the rod member 13 is a small-diameter cylindrical section, and the snap-fit joint 14 is a groove-shaped section.
[0050] In one possible implementation, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, when the locking tube 2 rotates along its own circumference to the unlocking position, the locking joint 14 is located in the edge area of the slide groove 22, so that the locking joint 14 can move along the slide groove 22; when the locking tube 2 rotates along its own circumference to the locking position, a part of the locking joint 14 is located outside the edge area of the slide groove 22, so that the locking joint 14 cannot move along the slide groove 22.
[0051] When the locking tube 2 is rotated to the unlocking position aligned with the locking joint 14, the long side of the locking joint 14 is aligned with the long side of the slide groove 22, and the short side of the locking joint 14 is aligned with the short side of the slide groove 22. The locking joint 14 is completely located in the edge area of the slide groove 22, so that the locking joint 14 can pass through the slide groove 22, thereby realizing the separation of the locking tube 2 from the first end plug 1 and disassembly.
[0052] When the locking tube 2 is rotated to a non-unlocking position offset from the locking joint 14, that is, when the locking tube 2 is rotated to a locking position, the long side of the locking joint 14 is offset from the long side of the slide groove 22, and the short side of the locking joint 14 is offset from the short side of the slide groove 22. A portion of the locking joint 14 is located outside the edge area of the slide groove 22, so that the locking joint 14 cannot pass through the slide groove 22, thereby achieving locking of the position of the locking tube 2 and the first end plug 1.
[0053] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, an elastic member 5 is provided between the limit member 4 and the third end plug 7, and the elastic member 5 applies an elastic force to the limit member 4 to move in the direction of the first end plug 1, so that a part of the limit member 4 can contact the first end plug 1 and form a stop for the circumferential movement of the first end plug 1.
[0054] Among them, an elastic member 5 and a limiting member 4 are provided in the connecting tube 6, one end of the elastic member 5 is relatively fixed to the third end plug 7, and the other end of the elastic member 5 is in contact with the limiting member 4. The elastic member 5 applies elastic force to the limiting member 4 to move it toward the direction close to the first end plug 1. The elastic member 5 pushes the limiting member 4 to embed into the first end plug 1 to form a limit.
[0055] Among them, Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the limit member 4 includes a slider 42, which is located in the inner cavity of the connecting tube 6. A locking rod 41 is provided at one end of the slider 42. The second end plug 3 is axially provided with a through groove 32 for the locking rod 41 to pass through. A limit groove 15 is provided on the locking joint 14 of the first end plug 1. A part of the locking rod 41 can be embedded in the limit groove 15 to form a stop for the circumferential movement of the first end plug 1.
[0056] Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the through groove 32 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the locking rod 41, and the second end plug 3 forms a stopper for the locking rod 41 to move in the circumferential direction. The locking rod 41 can pass through the through groove 32 and move in the axial direction. Under the extrusion of the elastic member 5, the end of the locking rod 41 is embedded in the limiting groove 15 of the locking joint 14 to form a limit, so that the first end plug 1 and the locking rod 41 cannot be displaced in the circumferential direction, that is, the locking tube 2 cannot rotate in the circumferential direction and always remains in the locked position.
[0057] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the elastic member 5 includes a compression spring whose deformation direction is axially arranged along the connecting pipe 6 , a first end of the compression spring abuts against the limiting member 4 , and a second end of the compression spring abuts against the third end plug 7 .
[0058] The elastic member 5 comprises a torsion spring, a first end of the torsion spring abuts against the limiting member 4 , and a second end of the torsion spring abuts against the third end plug 7 .
[0059] The elastic member 5 comprises an elastic sheet, a first end of the elastic sheet abuts against the limiting member 4 , and a second end of the elastic sheet abuts against the third end plug 7 .
[0060] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a first slot 43 is provided on the slider 42, and the connecting pipe 6 includes a sleeve 61 and a second slot 62 provided on the sleeve 61. The first slot 43 and the second slot 62 are staggered relative to each other in the axial direction, and the end of the first slot 43 away from the first end plug 1 is located within the edge area of the second slot 62.
[0061] Among them, when the limit member 4 is embedded in the first end plug 1, the first groove 43 and the second groove 62 are relatively staggered, and the end of the first groove 43 away from the first end plug 1 is located within the edge area of the second groove 62, so that the position of the first groove 43 can be adjusted by the loading and unloading operation tool to drive the limit member 4 to move in the direction away from the first end plug 1 until it is separated from the first end plug 1.
[0062] The first slot 43 and the second slot 62 have a partial overlap portion, so as to accommodate the same loading and unloading operation tool.
[0063] Further, such as Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the third end plug 7 comprises a third rod body 71, on which a third slot 72 is provided, and the first slot 43, the second slot 62 and the third slot 72 are arranged along the same axis.
[0064] The third slot 72 is used to accommodate a loading and unloading operation tool.

The specific assembly process is as follows: first, the stopper 4 is installed, and the locking rod 41 is inserted into the through groove 32 of the second end plug 3; then the elastic member 5 is installed, and the upper end face of the elastic member 5 contacts the end face of the slider 42; finally, the third end plug 7 is pressed into the connection tube 6, and the lower end face of the elastic member 5 contacts the third end plug 7, and the elastic member 5 is in a compressed stress state. During assembly welding, the second slot 62 on the side of the connection tube 6 and the first slot 43 on the side of the slider 42 should be aligned. The lower end of the third end plug 7 is welded to the cladding tube of the target rod 8. During assembly welding, the third slot 72 on the side of the third end plug 7 and the second slot 62 on the side of the connection tube 6 should be aligned. The third slot 72 is used to accommodate loading and unloading operation tools. When the first end plug 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 6, the rod 13 and the snap-fit joint 14 of the first end plug 1 are inserted into the step hole of the connecting pipe 6 until the snap-fit joint 14 completely enters the slot 23; then the connecting pipe 6 is rotated horizontally to a locked position so that the snap-fit joint 14 is limited and clamped by the step surface 24.
