Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear waste treatment technology, and in particular relates to a robot and method for grinding the well walls of nuclear waste storage wells. Background Technology

[0002] As the core structure of nuclear waste storage facilities, nuclear waste storage wells require high-precision grinding of the concrete surface of the inner walls (four walls + bottom) after casting to ensure their sealing performance, structural stability, and the accuracy of subsequent installations. The surface flatness error must be controlled to a minimum, with no obvious protrusions, depressions, or casting defects. Nuclear waste storage wells are mostly 5-meter deep square cross-section structures, representing a typical deep, enclosed, and confined space operation scenario. Grinding is a critical step in the construction of nuclear waste storage facilities, and its construction quality directly affects the long-term safety of nuclear waste storage. Currently, grinding of nuclear waste storage wells is mostly done manually. Construction workers wear protective gear and enter the 5-meter deep square cross-section storage well, using small electric grinders to grind the four walls and bottom of the well. During the operation, a designated person at the wellhead assists by passing tools and observing the work. The dust generated during grinding naturally dissipates, and the flatness is manually inspected after completion.

[0003] This manual polishing method is limited by the special environment of nuclear waste storage wells, which are deep, enclosed, small, and have two different specifications. It also has many unsolvable technical problems and operational defects, as follows: (1) The work has extremely high safety risks and insufficient occupational health protection. The storage well is a narrow space with a depth of 5 meters. Construction workers have to work in a cramped or bent-over position. There is no effective ventilation in the deep well, and the large amount of cement dust generated during grinding cannot be dispersed quickly. Even if masks are worn, a large amount of dust will still be inhaled. Long-term work can easily lead to occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis. During the work of climbing up and down the deep well, personnel are prone to falling and collision accidents. In addition, if equipment failure occurs in the confined space, it is difficult to evacuate personnel, which poses a secondary safety hazard.

[0004] (2) The work efficiency is extremely low and the construction period is difficult to guarantee. Manual hand-held grinding tools have a limited operating range, and a single machine can only grind a small area at a time. Furthermore, the physical exertion of personnel inside a 5-meter-deep well is rapid, requiring frequent rotation of workers. Grinding operations for a single storage well often require multiple workers to cooperate and can take up to several hours. At the same time, manual grinding needs to proceed surface by surface and area by area, without standardized operating procedures, which can easily lead to repeated grinding, further reducing work efficiency and failing to meet the schedule requirements of batch construction projects.

[0005] (3) Poor grinding precision and inconsistent quality cannot be guaranteed. The quality of grinding depends entirely on the skill, experience, and sense of responsibility of the operators. Manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the uniformity of grinding force and speed, which can easily lead to problems such as missed areas, uneven grinding depth, and excessive surface flatness. Furthermore, the corners, bottom surfaces, and junctions of the square cross-section well body with the four walls are blind spots for manual grinding, making it very easy for grinding to be incomplete. This cannot meet the high-precision construction quality requirements of nuclear waste storage wells and will affect subsequent installation and long-term sealing performance.

[0006] (4) On-site operation management is difficult and there is no process controllability. During manual downhole operations, wellhead personnel cannot observe the entire grinding process in real time. The control of grinding progress and quality can only be achieved through verbal feedback from the operators, resulting in information lag. Grinding parameters cannot be precisely adjusted, and rework is required after grinding defects occur, further increasing construction costs.

[0007] In summary, existing manual grinding solutions cannot be adapted to the special operating scenarios of nuclear waste storage wells, and have core problems such as high safety risks, low efficiency, poor accuracy, and uncontrollable quality. These have become technical pain points that urgently need to be solved in the construction of nuclear waste storage facilities. The industry urgently needs an automated, high-precision, and high-safety grinding equipment for this special scenario. Summary of the Invention

By modularizing the components of the grinding robot, rapid assembly and disassembly are achieved through modular installation. The automated mechanism replaces manual grinding operations in the well, allowing operators to remotely control the robot from outside the wellhead. This completely avoids the safety risks of falls, dust inhalation, and collisions associated with manual operation in the confined space of a 5-meter deep well, fundamentally solving a long-standing industry pain point in operational safety and ensuring the occupational health and personal safety of construction workers. By combining a three-axis truss mechanism, the grinding mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism, fully automated, high-precision grinding of the well's four walls and bottom surface is achieved.

[0018] This invention also provides a method for using a nuclear waste storage well wall grinding robot to grind the well wall, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparatory work before grinding: Divide the four walls and bottom of the nuclear waste storage well into sections. Divide the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well along the height direction of the well, with the height of each section being the height of the side grinding assembly. Divide the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well along the width direction of the well, with the width of each section being the width of the bottom grinding assembly.

Step 5: Grind the bottom surface of the nuclear waste storage well, as follows: Step 501: Start the second grinding motor. The second grinding motor drives the second and third grinding heads to grind the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well. After grinding is completed, turn off the second grinding motor. Step 502: Start the second servo motor in the bottom translation unit to move the two sets of bottom grinding units along the length of the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well. The distance moved is the length of the bottom grinding unit. Repeat step 501 until the grinding of a section of the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well is completed. Step 503: Start the second servo motor in the bottom translation unit to drive the two sets of bottom grinding units to move along the width direction of the nuclear waste storage well, and the distance moved is the width of the bottom grinding unit; Step 504: Repeat steps 501 and 503 until all grinding work at the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well is completed; Step 6: Remove the grinding robot: Start the Z-axis vertical beam and drive the adjustment mechanism and the bottom grinding assembly to be vertically lifted to the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well; dismantle the bottom grinding assembly and the adjustment mechanism in sequence, and remove the three-axis truss mechanism from the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well.

Operators can remotely control the process from outside the wellhead, completely eliminating the safety risks of falls, dust inhalation, and collisions that occur when working in the confined space of a 5-meter-deep well. It fundamentally solves the long-standing pain point of operational safety in the industry, ensuring the occupational health and personal safety of construction workers. It enables fully automated grinding of the four walls and bottom of nuclear waste storage wells, eliminating the need for multiple workers to rotate shifts. Only 1-2 operators are required to complete the task, which can meet the schedule requirements of batch construction projects and significantly reduce labor costs.

[0037] It should be noted that the present invention can be adapted to the basic operational requirements of a 5-meter deep square cross-section storage well. The dust removal cover 52 is designed with a conical structure and an increased flexible end to improve its fit with the well opening, forming a fully enclosed dust collection space to prevent dust from escaping. The dust collector 51 is equipped with a multi-stage filtration device to achieve efficient collection and filtration of dust and avoid secondary pollution.

[0038] Specifically, a pre-programmed grinding path for the well body specifications is embedded in the electrical control system of the electrical cabinet. After the equipment starts, the storage well to be ground is selected, and the equipment automatically calls the corresponding pre-programmed grinding path. Standardized grinding paths are pre-programmed for the four walls and bottom surface of the square cross-section well body. The four walls adopt a vertical uniform up-and-down movement path, and the bottom surface adopts a horizontal covering path. The algorithm automatically optimizes the matching logic between the X / Y axis movement trajectory and the rotation angle of the rotating component to ensure that the movement speed and rotation angle of the grinding head are consistent throughout the entire range. The linkage control program of the three-axis truss mechanism, rotating component, and adjustment mechanism is optimized, and a servo synchronous control algorithm is adopted to achieve precise synchronous displacement and rotation of each axis. During the grinding process, the linear speed error of the grinding head is controlled within a very small range, ensuring uniform grinding speed and improving the flatness and quality stability of the ground surface, which is far higher than the quality standard of manual grinding and meets the high-precision construction quality requirements of nuclear waste storage wells.

[0039] In actual use, the dust collector 51 is placed statically outside the wellhead and connected to the dust collector cover 52 via the suction hose 53. The dust collector cover 52 has a conical structure and wraps around the outside of the grinding disc 40 when static, forming a sealed dust suction space. This achieves efficient collection of grinding dust as it is produced, resulting in high dust removal efficiency. It completely solves the problem of dust diffusion in the sealed space of deep wells, avoids dust pollution, and improves the environmental friendliness of the work site. The safety protection components mainly include anti-collision sensors and elastic buffer structures. The anti-collision sensors are a combination of lidar 50 and contact sensors, which are installed on the outside of the grinding head unit when static. In addition, a lidar positioning system is added, installed at the lower end and both ends of the Y-axis longitudinal beam 2 and the top of the Z-axis vertical beam 3, to scan the external space of the equipment in real time. Together with the anti-collision sensors 32, it achieves active anti-collision + passive buffer dual protection, ensuring safety both inside and outside the well during equipment operation, reducing the probability of equipment damage, and improving the safety and durability of equipment operation. The modular design of the equipment also facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair, reducing the equipment's operation and maintenance costs. The elastic buffer structure employs a spring-type compensation mechanism, which connects between the mounting base and the track base when static, providing adaptive buffering for the grinding disc 40. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the electrical cabinet includes a main electrical cabinet 8 and a sub-electrical cabinet 17. When static, the main electrical cabinet 8 and the sub-electrical cabinet 17 are arranged outside the wellhead and electrically connected to the servo drive system of the three-axis truss mechanism and the adjustment mechanism, providing power and core control for the equipment. It also includes a remote control Pad that is wirelessly connected to the controller. The equipment does not require manual entry into the well. Operators can complete all operations from outside the wellhead through the remote control Pad, completely replacing manual downhole grinding operations and realizing remote operation of the equipment, fundamentally solving the safety risks and efficiency problems of manual grinding.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 7 The method shown is a method for grinding the well wall of a nuclear waste storage well using a grinding robot. The method includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparatory work before grinding: Divide the four walls and bottom of the nuclear waste storage well into sections. Divide the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well along the height direction of the well, with the height of each section being the height of the side grinding assembly. Divide the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well along the width direction of the well, with the width of each section being the width of the bottom grinding assembly. Move the three-axis truss mechanism to the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well. Step 2: Determine the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well to be ground and install the grinding robot. The process is as follows: Step 201: Install the side translation unit on the adapter 11 and install the side grinding assembly on the bottom of the second slide plate 19; Step 202: Install the grinding robot with the side translation unit and the side grinding assembly installed at the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well, so that the same end of both sets of the side grinding units is in close contact with the same side edge of the nuclear waste storage well; start the Z-axis vertical beam 3 and drive the adjustment mechanism and the side grinding assembly to be vertically lowered into the nuclear waste storage well until the top of the side grinding assembly is flush with the top of the area to be ground in the nuclear waste storage well; Step 203: Start the second servo motor 15 in the side translation unit so that the first three grinding heads in the two sets of side grinding units are in close contact with the pair of opposing well walls in the nuclear waste storage well, and then turn off the second servo motor 15. Step 3: Grind the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well, as follows: Step 301: Start the first grinding motor 30. The first grinding motor 30 drives the first three-head grinding head to grind the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well. After grinding is completed, turn off the first grinding motor 30. Step 302: Start the second servo motor 15 in the side translation unit to move the two sets of side grinding units along the width direction of the well wall of the nuclear waste storage well. The distance moved is the length of the side grinding unit. Then repeat step 301 until the grinding of both sides of the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well is completed. Step 303: Start the second servo motor 15 in the side translation unit to drive the two sets of side grinding units to move towards the center of the nuclear waste storage well, so that the edge of the side grinding unit is separated from the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well; then start the first servo motor 10, and under the drive of the rotating component, realize the rotation of the side grinding component, so that the two sets of side grinding units rotate 90°. Step 304: Start the second servo motor 15 in the side translation unit so that the first three grinding heads in the two sets of side grinding units are in close contact with the other pair of oppositely arranged four walls of the nuclear waste storage well, and then turn off the second servo motor 15. Step 305: Repeat steps 301 and 302 until the grinding of the other two sides of the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well is completed, thus completing the grinding of one section of the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well. Step 306: Start the Z-axis vertical beam 3 and drive the adjustment mechanism and the side grinding assembly to be lowered vertically. The distance of the lowering is the height of the side grinding unit. Step 307: Repeat steps 301 to 305 to complete the grinding of the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well described in the next section; Step 308: Repeat steps 306 and 307 until all grinding work on the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well is completed; Step 4: Determine the bottom surface of the nuclear waste storage well to be ground and install the grinding robot. The process is as follows: Step 401: Start the Z-axis vertical beam 3 and drive the adjustment mechanism and the side grinding assembly to be vertically lifted to the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well. Remove the side translation unit and the side grinding assembly, and install the bottom translation unit on the adapter 11. Install the bottom grinding assembly on the bottom of the second slide plate 19. Step 402: Install the grinding robot with the bottom translation unit and the bottom grinding assembly installed at the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well, so that the same end of the two sets of bottom grinding units is in close contact with the same side edge of the nuclear waste storage well; start the Z-axis vertical beam 3 and drive the adjustment mechanism and the bottom grinding assembly to be vertically lowered to the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well; Step 403: Start the second servo motor 15 in the bottom translation unit so that the second and third grinding heads in the bottom grinding unit are in close contact with one side of the well wall at the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well, and then turn off the second servo motor 15. Step 5: Grind the bottom surface of the nuclear waste storage well, as follows: Step 501: Start the second grinding motor 36. The second grinding motor 36 drives the second and third grinding heads to grind the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well. After grinding is completed, turn off the second grinding motor 36. Step 502: Start the second servo motor 15 in the bottom translation unit to move the two sets of bottom grinding units toward the length of the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well. The distance moved is the length of the bottom grinding unit. Repeat step 501 until the grinding of a section of the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well is completed. Step 503: Start the second servo motor 15 in the bottom translation unit to drive the two sets of bottom grinding units to move along the width direction of the nuclear waste storage well, and the distance moved is the width of the bottom grinding unit. Step 504: Repeat steps 501 and 503 until all grinding work at the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well is completed; Step 6: Remove the grinding robot: Start the Z-axis vertical beam 3 and drive the adjustment mechanism and the bottom grinding assembly to be vertically lifted to the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well; dismantle the bottom grinding assembly and the adjustment mechanism in sequence, and remove the three-axis truss mechanism from the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well.

[0053] This invention achieves automation, high precision, high safety, and high efficiency in the grinding operation of nuclear waste storage wells through the synergistic optimization of structure and control process. Compared with the existing manual grinding scheme, it has achieved a qualitative leap in terms of safety, efficiency, precision, and quality, and provides an efficient and reliable automated grinding solution for the construction of nuclear waste storage facilities. It has significant technological advancement, engineering practicality, and market promotion value.

[0054] It should be noted that during the grinding process in steps two and four, the dust removal mechanism needs to be started simultaneously. The dust removal cover 52 is used to suck in the dust and transport it to the dust collector 51 through the suction hose 53 for collection. At the same time, the safety protection components installed on the side grinding head unit and the bottom grinding head unit can monitor the working environment in real time. If the first three-head grinding head or the second three-head grinding head is detected to be in contact with a protrusion or the equipment is about to collide with the well wall, the elastic buffer will first perform adaptive compensation. If it exceeds the compensation range, the anti-collision sensor 32 will trigger an alarm and control the equipment to stop immediately to avoid damage to the equipment.

[0055] In steps 202 and 402, if the distance moved by the side grinding unit and the bottom grinding unit is less than the length of the side grinding unit or the distance moved by the bottom grinding unit, the moving distance can be adjusted according to the actual grinding situation. This can be achieved by changing the specifications of the first three-head grinding head and the second three-head grinding head.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

A method of abrading a storage well wall by a nuclear waste storage well wall abrading robot according to claim 9, characterized in that, The method includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparatory work before grinding: Divide the four walls and bottom of the nuclear waste storage well into sections. Divide the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well along the height direction of the well, with the height of each section being the height of the side grinding assembly. Divide the bottom of the nuclear waste storage well along the width direction of the well, with the width of each section being the width of the bottom grinding assembly. Move the three-axis truss mechanism to the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well. Step 2: Determine the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well to be ground and install the grinding robot. The process is as follows: Step 201: Install the side translation unit on the adapter (11) and install the side grinding assembly on the bottom of the second slide plate (19); Step 202: Install the grinding robot with the side translation unit and the side grinding assembly installed at the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well, so that the same end of the two sets of side grinding units is in close contact with the same side edge of the nuclear waste storage well; start the Z-axis vertical beam (3) and drive the adjustment mechanism and the side grinding assembly to be vertically lowered into the nuclear waste storage well until the top of the side grinding assembly is flush with the top of the area to be ground in the nuclear waste storage well; Step 203: Start the second servo motor (15) in the side translation unit so that the first three grinding heads in the two sets of side grinding units are in close contact with the pair of opposing well walls in the nuclear waste storage well, and then turn off the second servo motor (15). Step 3: Grind the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well, as follows: Step 301: Start the first grinding motor (30). The first grinding motor (30) drives the first three-head grinding head to grind the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well. After grinding is completed, turn off the first grinding motor (30). Step 302: Start the second servo motor (15) in the side translation unit to move the two sets of side grinding units along the width direction of the well wall of the nuclear waste storage well. The distance moved is the length of the side grinding unit. Then repeat step 301 until the grinding of both sides of the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well is completed. Step 303: Start the second servo motor (15) in the side translation unit to drive the two sets of side grinding units to move towards the center of the nuclear waste storage well, so that the edge of the side grinding unit is separated from the four walls of the nuclear waste storage well; then start the first servo motor (10) to realize the rotation of the side grinding assembly under the drive of the rotating component, so that the two sets of side grinding units rotate 90°. Step 304: Start the second servo motor (15) in the side translation unit so that the first three grinding heads in the two sets of side grinding units are in close contact with the other pair of oppositely arranged four walls of the nuclear waste storage well, and then turn off the second servo motor (15).
