Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of nuclear power plant installation and maintenance, in particular to a quick wiring device for electric heater of pressurizer. BACKGROUND

[0002] The wiring mode of the electric heater of the pressurizer of the nuclear power plant needs to meet the requirements of high reliability, safety and precise control. In the current wiring of the electric heater of the pressurizer of the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, the bolt crimping type wiring mode is generally adopted, such as the wiring of the core components such as the power bus and the circuit breaker, or the crimping terminal wiring mode in the auxiliary circuit.

[0003] The typical structure includes: the bolt crimping is to tightly press the wire and the conductor by the mechanical pressure of the bolt and the nut to form the electrical connection; the crimping terminal is to press the wire and the metal terminal by the special crimping tool to form the permanent electrical connection. These modes need special tools to complete the crimping, sealing and grounding processes step by step. Such wiring modes have obvious defects:

[0004] 1. The bolt crimping is a mechanical connection, the installation is complex, the bolt torque needs to be accurately controlled, and the contact surface needs to be treated (such as silver plating / tinning). The construction quality requirement is high, and 12 steps such as bolt fastening, sealing glue smearing and grounding wire installation need to be completed by multiple people, and the single wiring time is long;

[0005] 2. The long-term reliability depends on maintenance, and the bolt may be loose due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction, which needs to be checked and tightened regularly.

[0006] 3. The maintenance process needs to repeatedly disassemble the bolt, which may increase the oxidation or pollution of the contact surface, increase the contact resistance, cause local heating, and reduce the reliability.

[0007] Although the crimping terminal does not need to be tightened by the bolt, it also needs to be crimped by the tool, and the installation speed is slightly faster than that of the bolt crimping. However, it is a one-time connection and cannot be disassembled after crimping. If it needs to be replaced, the wire needs to be cut and crimped again.

[0057] The connecting nut 22 is rotatably mounted at the end of the female plug 2, and the connecting nut 22 is overall cylindrical; at the same time, an external thread is arranged on the outer wall of the front end of the male plug 1, the connecting nut 22 is capable of being threadedly connected with the external thread, thereby realizing the locking and fixing between the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 when being coupled, and avoiding being separated by external force.

[0058] Compared to the traditional bolt crimping and crimping terminal methods in the electric heating system of the pressurizer of a nuclear power plant, this invention simplifies the installation steps, improves connection reliability, reduces maintenance difficulty and fault replacement costs through plug-in and locking structures, and achieves fast, convenient and safe electrical connection.

[0059] To improve airtightness, a sealing ring is provided between the outer wall of the connector and the inner wall of the socket, achieving internal sealing. This double sealing structure effectively isolates the connection from external environmental corrosion, ensuring the stability, reliability, and safety of the electrical connection. To achieve fast and accurate docking, a first positioning structure for radial positioning is provided between the inner wall of the socket and the outer wall of the connector. This first positioning structure includes a positioning groove I1121 formed on the inner wall of the socket and a positioning protrusion I provided on the outer wall of the connector and corresponding to the positioning groove I1121. Both the positioning groove I1121 and the positioning protrusion I are strip-shaped and parallel to the axis of the male connector 1 or the female connector 2. They have a simple structure, are easy to process, and have good positioning effect.

[0060] To achieve rapid and accurate docking, a first positioning structure for radial positioning is provided between the inner wall of the socket and the outer wall of the insertion part. The first positioning structure includes a positioning groove I1121 formed in the inner wall of the socket and a positioning protrusion I provided in the outer wall of the insertion part and corresponding to the positioning groove I1121. Both the positioning groove I1121 and the positioning protrusion I are strip-shaped and parallel to the axis of the male plug 1 or the female plug 2. The structure is simple, easy to process, and has a good positioning effect.

[0061] The contact resistance between the metal cannula 25 and the metal rod 13 is less than or equal to 5mΩ. Its low resistance and good conductivity can avoid heat generation, resulting in good performance and long service life. Hard gold is plated on the contact surface between the metal cannula 25 and the metal rod 13 to make the contact resistance less than or equal to 2mΩ, which can improve the overall conductivity.

[0062] To improve hardness and wear resistance, a nickel layer is plated on the contact surface between the metal cannula 25 and the metal rod 13, which can improve surface hardness, wear resistance and extend service life; and hard gold is plated on the nickel layer to improve conductivity.

[0063] The male connector 1 and female connector 2 in this invention have a temperature resistance of ≥200℃, enabling them to operate smoothly even in high-temperature environments, ensuring electrical safety and reliability; furthermore, the male and female connectors have a withstand voltage ≥20kV / mm and an irradiance resistance ≥10 kV / mm. 6 Gy ensures the stability and reliability of the electrical connection; the seals on male plug 1 and female plug 2 are made of phenyl silicone rubber, which has excellent sealing effect and long service life.

[0064] A sealing gasket is provided on the side wall of the female plug 2. This sealing gasket can contact the end of the male plug 1, thereby achieving elastic contact and sealing. This sealing gasket is made of high temperature resistant material, which is phenyl silicone rubber in this embodiment. It can ensure that it can maintain good sealing performance in high temperature environment. On the one hand, it can improve the overall sealing performance, and on the other hand, it can generate deformation and generate micro pressure on the male plug. Through the thread, it forms an axial tensile force on the connecting nut 22, which further enhances the stability of the connection and effectively prevents loosening caused by vibration.

[0065] A first annular protrusion 211 is provided on the side wall of the female plug 2. The first annular protrusion 211 is located inside the connecting nut 22 and at the root of the connecting nut 22. The sealing gasket is provided at the end of the first annular protrusion 211. The first annular protrusion 211 is used to install the sealing gasket to realize the end face limit and sealing between the male plug and the female plug. On the other hand, it can limit the connecting nut, which facilitates the overall assembly and connection, and reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost.

[0066] The results of the common interpolation in this invention are explained below:

[0067] See Figures 3-12 The male connector 1 includes a male connector housing, which is cylindrical in shape. At least one first mounting hole 110 is provided inside the male connector housing; in this embodiment, there are two. The axis of the first mounting hole 110 is parallel to the axis of the male connector housing. An insulating sleeve I 12, which is cylindrical and supported by ceramic in this embodiment, is provided inside the first mounting hole 110. A metal plug 13 is installed inside the insulating sleeve I 12, achieving fixation and insulation of the metal plug 13 within the male connector housing. The head of the metal plug 13 extends into the socket, forming a metal plug for insertion into the metal tube and achieving electrical connection. The rear end of the metal plug 13 is provided with a terminal for connecting wires. This reduces the difficulty and cost of manufacturing and processing, improves manufacturing precision, and facilitates overall assembly, ensuring the stability of the connection and the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0068] In this embodiment, an anti-arc head 14 is provided at the head of the metal plug 13. The anti-arc head 14 is made of insulating material, which can prevent the generation of electric arc during the plugging process, especially the generation of electric arc discharge under high temperature and high pressure environment, thereby improving the safety of use and ensuring the safety of operation.

[0069] To facilitate processing and assembly, a transition sleeve 15 is fixed to the side wall of the insulating sleeve I 12. The end of the transition sleeve 15 contacts the end of the first mounting hole 110 to achieve a limiting installation of the insulating sleeve I 12. The transition sleeve 15 includes a fixing part 151, which is cylindrical and is fitted and fixed to the side wall of the insulating sleeve I 12. The fixing part 151 extends outward at one end toward the head of the metal insert 13 to form a first connecting part 152. The end of the first connecting part 152 extends axially in the direction away from the fixing part 151 to form a first limiting part 153, which is cylindrical. It can contact the end of the first mounting hole 110; at the same time, an annular groove is provided at the end of the first mounting hole 110 to form a transition sleeve mounting groove 1101. The end of the transition sleeve 15 is just fitted into the transition sleeve mounting groove 1101 to achieve limiting. The transition sleeve 15 is fixed to the male socket housing by welding. This can improve the assembly accuracy and facilitate subsequent welding and fixing, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection. The transition sleeve 15 adopts a connection structure with different diameters, which facilitates welding and fixing, avoids mutual interference during the welding process, improves the assembly accuracy, and facilitates welding and fixing connection with the insulating sleeve and metal plug.

[0070] A tail sleeve 16 is provided at the tail of the insulating sleeve I 12. The end of the tail sleeve 16 contacts the second annular protrusion 132 on the side wall of the metal plug 13, thereby achieving axial positioning of the metal plug 13. This ensures the precise positioning and installation of the insulating sleeve and the metal plug, prevents loosening due to vibration, and further improves the stability and safety of the connection. The tail sleeve 16 includes an annular support portion 161, which can fit against the tail end face of the insulating sleeve I 12. The outer edge of the support portion 161 extends forward to form a sleeve portion 163. The sleeve portion 163 is cylindrical and can accommodate the tail of the insulating sleeve I 12. The inner edge of the support portion 161, i.e., the edge of the central hole, faces the back. Extending towards the sleeve portion 163, a second limiting portion 162 is formed. This second limiting portion 162 is also cylindrical and fits perfectly over the metal insert rod 13. The end of the second limiting portion 162 can contact the second annular protrusion 131 on the side wall of the metal insert rod 13 to achieve axial positioning. With the above structure, assembly is convenient, and the metal insert rod 13 can be limited and fixed, ensuring the precise installation of the metal insert rod 13 and a tight fit between the tail sleeve and the metal insert rod. The insulating sleeve I 12, the transition sleeve 15, and the tail sleeve 16 are all made of ceramic material. Through metallization followed by vacuum brazing, they break through the performance limits of traditional materials and improve stability and reliability under extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and irradiation.

[0071] To facilitate processing and assembly, the male connector housing adopts a split structure, comprising a circular cross-section male connector housing I11 and a circular male connector housing II17. Male connector housing I11 and male connector housing II17 are coaxially arranged and fixedly connected at their ends. The socket and metal probe 13 are located within male connector housing I11, while the rear end of the metal probe 13 is located within male connector II17 and used for wiring. This split structure reduces manufacturing costs and facilitates overall assembly. Male connector housing I11 and male connector housing II17 are made of stainless steel and Kovar alloy, respectively; that is, male connector housing I is made of either stainless steel or Kovar alloy, while male connector housing II is made of a different material, and the two are fixedly connected by vacuum brazing. This structure provides high structural strength, ensuring adaptability and durability in different environments and a long service life. The aforementioned male connector housing I11 includes a cylindrical housing body 111. The edge of the housing body 111 extends axially forward to form a cylindrical body 112. The interior of the cylindrical body 112 forms a connector. The inner wall of the cylindrical body is provided with one or more sealing ring mounting grooves for installing sealing rings. These grooves enable sealing between the connector and the insertion part, improving sealing performance and providing damping for a better insertion feel. They also have a buffering effect, reducing wear during insertion and removal and extending service life.

[0072] The structure of the female connector in this invention will be described below;

[0073] See Figures 13-21 The female plug 2 includes a female plug housing, an insulating seat is provided inside the female plug housing, and at least one second mounting hole is provided on the insulating seat, which is the same number as the first mounting hole 110 and corresponds one-to-one. The metal plug tube 25 is installed in the second mounting hole. It is easy to process, reduces the processing and manufacturing cost, improves the manufacturing precision, and facilitates assembly, especially the assembly of the metal plug tube 25. The insulating seat is made of ceramic material, which breaks through the performance limits of traditional materials and improves the stability and reliability under extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and radiation.

[0074] The insulating base includes insulating base I 23 and insulating base II 24, both of which are cylindrical and coaxially arranged, with their ends connected to each other. An annular groove is provided between insulating base I 23 and insulating base II 24 to form a limiting groove, which is coaxial with the second mounting hole. Simultaneously, a third annular protrusion 251 is provided on the side wall of the metal insertion tube 25, which fits within the limiting groove, thereby achieving axial limiting. This enables rapid and precise positioning of the metal insertion tube 25, improving assembly efficiency and installation accuracy, and ensuring that it is used... To ensure stability and reliability during use, and to enable rapid and accurate assembly of the insulating bases, a second positioning structure is provided between the outer walls of insulating bases I23 and II24 and the inner wall of the female plug housing for radial positioning during assembly. The second positioning structure includes positioning grooves II on the outer walls of insulating bases I23 and II24, and positioning protrusions II on the inner wall of the female plug housing. The positioning protrusions II correspond to the positioning grooves II and are both strip-shaped structures with their length direction parallel to the axial direction. They are simple in structure and processing, occupy little space, and have high positioning accuracy.

[0075] Specifically, a second mounting hole I230 penetrates both ends of the insulating base I23. A recessed hole I231 is provided at the front end of the second mounting hole I230. This recessed hole I231 is coaxial with the second mounting hole I230 and slightly larger in size, forming a stepped hole. The stepped surface of the recessed hole I231 forms a first limiting surface 231a. A second mounting hole II240 penetrates both ends of the insulating base II24. The second mounting hole II240 is coaxial with the second mounting hole I230 and has the same diameter. A recessed hole II241 is provided at the rear end of the second mounting hole II240. II241 is coaxial with the second mounting hole II and is slightly larger than the concave hole II241, forming a stepped hole. The stepped surface of the concave hole II241 forms the second limiting surface 241a. The concave hole I231 is set opposite to the concave hole II241, forming a limiting area between the first limiting surface 231a and the second limiting surface 241a. It can limit the third annular protrusion 251 on the side wall of the metal tube 25 and fit the end of the third annular protrusion 251. It can quickly assemble the metal tube 25 into the housing, which is convenient and quick to assemble, and realizes reliable support and installation of the metal tube.

[0076] The metal cannula 25 includes a cylindrical metal rod. The front end of the metal rod has a hole forming a socket 250, which can accommodate the end of the metal rod for electrical connection. The rear end of the metal rod has a hole forming a wiring hole 252. Air holes 2502 penetrate the side walls of the socket 250 and the wiring hole 252. These air holes allow the socket at the end of the cannula to communicate with the rear end of the metal cannula through the air holes and gaps. This prevents air pressure from being generated in the socket during insertion and thus avoids increasing insertion resistance by pushing the metal rod. It also prevents incomplete insertion.

[0077] For ease of processing and assembly, the female plug housing includes a female plug housing I23 and a female plug housing II28 that are coaxially arranged and fixedly connected. An insulating seat is disposed inside the female plug housing I21, and a connecting nut 22 is rotatably installed outside the female plug housing I21 and is axially limited by a snap ring 29.

[0078] To improve insertion stability, an elastic conductive sleeve 26 is provided inside the metal insertion tube 25, see reference. Figure 21 The elastic conductive sleeve 26 accommodates the insertion of the metal rod 13 and makes close contact with the outer wall of the metal rod 13, thereby increasing the contact area, preventing incomplete connections, and ensuring uniform pressure distribution, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. A socket 250, just large enough to accommodate the insertion of the metal rod 13, is provided at the front end of the metal tube 25, and the elastic conductive sleeve 26 is positioned at the open end of the socket 250. An annular conductive sleeve mounting groove 2501 is provided on the inner wall of the metal tube 25, and the elastic conductive sleeve 26 is installed within the groove. This groove allows for axial fixation of the elastic conductive sleeve 26 and ensures that its inner wall bulges inward to form an elastic contact. To facilitate processing and assembly of the elastic conductive sleeve, the metal tube 25... The inner wall is provided with an annular groove, the end of which extends axially to the outside of the metal cannula 25. The elastic conductive sleeve 26 can be axially fitted into the annular groove. At the same time, a fixing ring 27 is fixed at the end of the annular groove. The fixing ring can axially fix the elastic conductive sleeve, forming a conductive sleeve mounting groove 2501. The above structure facilitates the assembly of the elastic conductive sleeve 26. The elastic conductive sleeve 26 is cylindrical and made of conductive metal. Its inner wall has multiple arc-shaped spring pieces 261 that protrude in the axial direction in an annular array. The spring pieces 261 have a certain elasticity. The multiple spring piece structures achieve radial contact at multiple angles, with a large contact area, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection between the metal cannula and the metal rod. In this embodiment, the length direction of the spring piece 261 is inclined to the axial direction of the elastic conductive sleeve 26. The inclined arrangement of the spring piece can increase the contact area and extend the length of the spring piece, thereby increasing elasticity. Furthermore, the force generated by the deformation during contact is inclined to the axial direction, which facilitates the extension of the spring piece's service life. While ensuring the stability of the electrical connection, it extends the overall service life and improves the user experience. In this embodiment, the angle between the length direction of the spring piece 261 and the axial direction of the elastic conductive sleeve 26 is greater than or equal to 3 degrees and less than or equal to 10 degrees. This facilitates its processing and allows the spring piece to have optimal length and deformation.

[0079] The aforementioned elastic conductive sleeve 26 includes a cylindrical conductive sleeve body with a thin wall thickness to generate elastic deformation. The side wall of the conductive sleeve body has an inwardly concave arc structure. Multiple strip grooves are provided circumferentially on the side wall of the conductive sleeve body and divided into multiple elastic spring pieces 261. It is easy to process and has low manufacturing cost.

[0080] In this invention, a high-performance, high-reliability tool-free quick wiring function is achieved through a quick-connect structure of male connector 1 and female connector 2. The plug-and-play design of male connector 1 and female connector 2 can effectively improve wiring efficiency, making wiring operation simple, convenient, safe, and efficient. Disassembly is also easy, and maintenance costs are low, with minimal difficulty and high efficiency.

[0081] The plug assembly includes a socket assembly designed with an elastic conductive sleeve. Through the elastic deformation of the elastic element, multi-point contact is formed between the plug and the connector. This design not only increases the contact area but also ensures uniform contact pressure distribution through elastic force, thereby reducing contact resistance. Even under rapid wiring conditions, contact stability is maintained, ensuring the reliability of the device. Combined with hard gold-plated (0.5-1μm) oxygen-free copper sockets, the contact resistance is controlled to ≤2mΩ. The tail clamping mechanism, through an adjustable bracket, is compatible with both organic cable crimping and phenyl silicone rubber sealing modes. The entire assembly can withstand ambient temperatures below 200℃. The insulation component uses alumina ceramic insulators (with withstand voltage ≥20kV / mm, radiation resistance 10... 6 The Gy component is vacuum brazed to form a stable connection with the metal casing; the casing adopts a vacuum brazed composite structure of stainless steel and Kovar alloy (matching 7.2×10). -6 / ℃ thermal expansion coefficient); the contact arc suppression design uses the geometric fit between the protrusion of the plug and the recess of the plug hole, combined with the compression of phenyl silicone rubber, to reduce the arc energy by more than 70% and withstand high temperatures; the sealing system uses phenyl silicone rubber butt seals (-25℃~260℃ / compression rate 20-30%) to ensure long-term airtightness under vibration environment (≤1×10-9Pa·m). 3 / s), the tail clamping mechanism is welded to the inorganic cable in a metal welding mode to achieve a firm and stable connection, and to achieve fast wiring while meeting the required performance.
