TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of mechanical devices and transportation technology, and particularly relates to a horizontal steam generator blocking plate bolt protective cover and a dismounting tool thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The steam generator is one of the important devices of a nuclear power plant, and its function is to transfer the heat of the primary coolant to the secondary loop feed water to heat it into steam.
[0003] During the disassembly overhaul of a horizontal steam generator of a certain nuclear power plant, eddy current detection needs to be performed on the heat transfer pipes of the steam generator. Before the eddy current detection, a special long rod tool needs to be used to install the blocking plate in the blocking plate groove at the bottom of the collecting pipe, which is 5 meters away from the collecting pipe opening of the steam generator, so as to isolate the steam generator from the primary loop pipeline and ensure that the eddy current detection of the heat transfer pipes of the steam generator does not affect the water level rise of the primary loop.
[0004] The blocking plate of the steam generator collecting pipe contains 12 special fastening bolts with a specification of M20. In order to facilitate the identification of the matching condition of the blocking plate bolt and the long rod tool for dismounting the blocking plate at the collecting pipe opening, special marks need to be set on the head of the bolt, and therefore the screw thread of the screw rod of the bolt needs to be 2-3 threads higher than the nut.
[0005] During the eddy current detection of the heat transfer pipes, there is a risk of bumping the blocking plate and the blocking plate bolt, and the rust residues, boron crystals and other contaminants brought out of the heat transfer pipes by the eddy current probe during the eddy current detection process will fall into the threaded connection part of the blocking plate bolt of the collecting pipe, thereby causing the blocking plate bolt to be frequently stuck during dismounting. If the steam generator blocking plate bolt is stuck and cannot be removed smoothly, the dismounting work of the entire blocking plate will be delayed; if the sticking is serious, personnel need to enter the inside of the collecting pipe to perform the dismounting operation of the nut, which greatly increases the radiation dose and industrial safety risk of the personnel. When the steam generator blocking plate bolt is stuck, if the defect cannot be quickly treated within a limited time, it will directly affect the main line progress.
[0006] In view of the above problems, maintenance personnel try to use rubber pads and other foreign matter prevention tools to protect the blocking plate bolt, but because the collecting pipe opening of the steam generator is smaller than the diameter of the blocking plate, the rubber pads and other foreign matter prevention tools will fall off and fall into the threaded connection part of the blocking plate bolt during the removal process, thereby causing the blocking plate bolt to be stuck, and the problem of the blocking plate bolt being stuck cannot be fundamentally solved.

[0031] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides a protective cover for the plug bolts of a horizontal steam generator and its disassembly and assembly tools.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this invention provides a protective cover for the plug bolts of a horizontal steam generator, comprising four separate protective covers. These four separate protective covers are installed together to completely cover the plug bolts of the manifold. Taking one as an example, it includes a front cover plate 1, a rear cover plate 2, side plates 3, and a top plate 4. The front cover plate 1 is a rectangular plate with side plates 3 welded to both sides. The rear cover plate 2 is an arc plate with a central angle of 90°, welded to the two side plates 3. The top plate 4 is welded to the top. The connections are made using MMA manual welding. The circular holes on the front cover plate 1 allow for easy removal using specialized tools even if the protective cover tipps over. The rear cover plate 2 has the same design.
[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tool for disassembling and assembling the bolt guard of this horizontal steam generator includes a long rod 5, two connecting rods 6, two connecting rods 7, three short threaded cylindrical pins 8, four long threaded cylindrical pins 9, four nuts 10, a gravity rod 11, a steel wire rope 12 (5m in length), and a handle 13. The long rod 5 is divided into five sections, each 1m long, and the sections are connected by threads. The bottom end of the long rod 5 has a rectangular groove and a fixing hole for the long threaded cylindrical pin 9.
