Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and particularly relates to a closing tool for the inclined manhole of a double - cover steam generator. Background Art

[0002] The secondary side of the steam generator in a nuclear power plant includes a manhole structure. The manhole structure includes an inner manhole cover and an outer manhole cover. The inner manhole cover is supported by a rotating arm and can rotate around the rotating arm. The rotating arm is fixed on the inner surface of the head and can rotate around a fixed axis. When closing the manhole, by swinging the rotating arm, the inner manhole cover is rotated to the manhole position, and then by swinging the inner manhole cover, the inner manhole cover is aligned with the manhole. Through the outer manhole cover and fastening bolts, the inner manhole cover can be lifted and closely fitted with the manhole seat. However, the rotating shaft and the inner manhole cover in the manhole structure are long - term inside the steam generator. During the operation of the equipment, steam, water and impurities enter the rotating mechanism of the inner manhole cover and the rotating arm, forming rust, which makes it difficult for the inner manhole cover and the rotating arm to move. When opening the manhole, additional force is required to forcibly move the inner manhole cover and the rotating arm. This additional force causes the rotating mechanism of the inner manhole cover and the rotating shaft to become loose, and the inner manhole cover cannot be aligned with the manhole, so that the inner manhole cover cannot be lifted to the specified position through the outer manhole cover and manhole bolts, and the manhole cannot be closed smoothly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Mainly aiming at the above - mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a closing tool for the inclined manhole of a double - cover steam generator, which helps to align the inner manhole cover and lift it to the specified position and keep it fixed. When installing the outer manhole cover, the manhole closing tool can ensure that the inner manhole cover remains stationary, and then the manhole bolts can be smoothly installed to complete the closing of the manhole.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A closing tool for the inclined manhole of a double - cover steam generator includes an alignment device, a fixing device and a conversion fixing device; the alignment device is used independently and is removed after aligning the inner manhole cover with the manhole coaxially. The fixing device and the conversion fixing device are used in cooperation. First, the fixing device is used to fix the inner manhole cover, and then the conversion fixing device is used to ensure the removal of the fixing device and the correct reinstallation of the outer manhole cover.

[0005] The alignment device includes a load - bearing plate assembly, an adjustment plate assembly, a first universal handle assembly and a second universal handle assembly. Two rows of card slots are arranged on the adjustment plate assembly. The first universal handle assembly and the second universal handle assembly take the card slots as nodes and cooperate with the load - bearing plate assembly to adjust the position of the inner manhole cover.

[0006] The first universal handle assembly is a universal handle with a pin.

[0007] The second universal handle assembly is a universal handle without a pin.

[0008] The fixing device comprises a transition bolt, a left clamping plate set and a right clamping plate set. The transition bolt is screwed into the inner cover of the manhole. The left clamping plate set and the right clamping plate set clamp the transition bolt. The left clamping plate set and the right clamping plate set are supported on the manhole cover.

[0009] There are 4 transition bolts.

[0010] The conversion fixing device comprises a transition bracket, a replacement bolt and a replacement nut. The replacement bolt is screwed into the manhole inner cover and cooperates with the transition bracket and the replacement nut to fix the manhole inner cover.

[0011] The number of replacement bolts is 4.

[0012] The number of replacement nuts is 4.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) The centering of the manhole inner cover can achieve fine adjustment of the position of the manhole inner cover during the lifting process, so that the manhole inner cover can be lifted to the specified position;

[0015] (2) Fixing of the inner cover of the manhole. After the inner cover of the manhole is lifted to the specified position, the inner cover of the manhole is fixed by using the left and right clamps and transition studs;

[0016] (3) When installing the outer manhole cover, the inner manhole cover remains stationary and is fixed by using transition brackets, replacement studs and nuts. In this way, when the outer manhole cover is installed and the left and right clamps are removed, the inner manhole cover can still remain fixed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
