Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of spent fuel dry process indoor hangers, and in particular to a pneumatic switch protection device suitable for spent fuel dry process indoor hangers. Background Art

[0002] In the early stage of construction, nuclear power plants have built storage pools for spent fuel. Due to the limited storage capacity of spent fuel pools, as the operating years of the units increase, the amount of spent fuel components generated increases year by year, and conventional storage can no longer meet the rapid development of China's nuclear power industry. With the development and utilization of China's nuclear power technology, the domestic nuclear power industry has gradually introduced, digested, absorbed and promoted the spent fuel dry storage process.

[0003] During the dry storage process, a dedicated indoor hoist for the spent fuel dry transfer container is required to lift the transfer container in the nuclear island. The dedicated indoor hoist currently in use is powered by compressed air to open and close the hoist boom. The control of the compressed air power is achieved by a dedicated control box for the indoor hoist. The existing pneumatic switch control box is designed with a metal shell, and there is a 10cm long handle on the top to control the opening and closing of the indoor hoist boom. There are two joint sleeves on the front side of the control box, which can be connected to the hoist cylinder using a double-headed pipeline; there is a joint sleeve on the back side of the control box, which can be connected to the maintenance air source using a single-headed pipeline.

[0004] In the prior art, when using the indoor dry process hoist for spent fuel, the control box is placed on the ground next to the evaporator cover. After operating the pneumatic switch, it is easy for people to touch it by mistake, causing the boom of the indoor hoist to open, causing the hoisted objects to fall and causing equipment damage. In severe cases, it may trigger the earthquake signal of the nuclear island, causing an emergency shutdown, or cause casualties, resulting in serious consequences. Placing the control box on the ground may cause the surface of the box to be contaminated. When people carry or operate the control box, the contaminated box will cause the pollution to spread. Furthermore, the pipeline connecting the control box to the maintenance air source is placed on the ground, which can easily cause people to pull the pipeline when walking. If the air pipe connection is disconnected during pulling, it will cause the serious consequence of the transfer container falling. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention proposes a pneumatic switch protection device suitable for a hanger in a spent fuel dry process room.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A pneumatic switch protection device suitable for a spent fuel dry process indoor hanger comprises a square table, wherein the four corners of the bottom surface of the square table are rotatably connected to feet via limit hinges, the bottom surface of the feet is provided with grooves, a rubber protection pad is inserted into the groove, the upper end of the rear wall of the square table is rotatably connected to a protection cover via a hinge, a switch box body is provided at the rear end of the top surface of the square table, and a handle is fixedly provided at the middle of the left wall of the square table.

[0008] Preferably, the right end of the top surface of the square table is provided with two warning lights in a left-right symmetrical structure, the left end of the top surface of the square table is provided with a self-locking device, and the front end of the top surface of the square table is provided with a barometer.

[0009] Preferably, a switch control lever is rotatably connected to the front end of the top face of the switch box body, a double-headed air pipe interface is connected to the rear end of the switch box body, and the rear end of the switch box body is in frictional contact with the protective cover.

[0010] Preferably, the square table has a hollow structure and is made of stainless steel.

[0011] Preferably, the protective cover is made of transparent plastic, and the protective cover is tightly pressed against the square platform.

[0012] Preferably, a wire drum is sleeved in the middle of the square table, a single-joint pipeline is wound on the outer wall of the wire drum, an L-shaped rod is fixed in the middle of the bottom surface of the wire drum, and a rocker is rotatably connected to the front end of the bottom of the L-shaped rod.

[0013] Preferably, a through groove is opened in the middle of the front surface of the square table, and the single-joint pipeline passes through the through groove along to the outside and is slidably connected through the through groove.

[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the wire drum is rotatably connected to the lower end of the square table, and a turn mark is provided in the middle of the top surface of the square table.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. The protective cover of the present invention is made of transparent plastic, which protects the switch control lever from being accidentally touched, reducing human errors, and allows the staff to observe the state of the operating lever anytime and anywhere, optimizing the spent fuel dry process. The protective cover is connected to the square table in the form of a hinge, which is convenient for the staff to open and close the protective cover, reducing the time for operating the switch control lever and reducing the potential radiation protection risk of the equipment.

[0017] 2. The present invention adopts a square table made of stainless steel as the main body of the protection device, so that the device as a whole is solid and reliable, and the stability of the device is improved. The single-joint pipeline can be connected and taken out at any time through the through groove, which facilitates the operation of the staff while protecting the switch box and improves the work efficiency.

[0018] 3. The wire reel of the present invention effectively protects the single-joint pipeline. The rocker pushes the wire reel to rotate along the square table, so that the single-joint pipeline slides along the through groove, which facilitates the retraction and release of the single-joint pipeline and improves the use efficiency. On the one hand, it prevents the staff from stepping on and pulling the single-joint pipeline to cause the joint to fall off, avoiding the disconnection and the rotating container falling; on the other hand, it protects the staff from being tripped by the excessively long single-joint pipeline, reduces personnel costs, and reduces industrial safety risks.

[0019] 4. The rubber protective pad of the present invention effectively reduces the risk of radiation protection. If the base is in direct contact with the ground and becomes contaminated, when personnel carry or operate the table, the contaminated table comes into contact with the operator and causes the contamination to spread. The rubber protective pad can be removed along the groove for replacement, which effectively prevents the spread of contamination.

[0020] 5. The present invention significantly improves the friction between the foot and the ground through the use of rubber protection pads, improves the grip performance, reduces the risk of the square table tipping over, and reduces the possibility of human error.
