The bottom of the upper guide cylinder assembly and the top of the lower guide cylinder assembly are fixed on the upper support plate assembly and connected together by flanges. The lower guide cylinder assembly is restricted to the upper plate of the core by two positioning pins at the bottom to achieve positioning and support. There are 9 guide plates distributed inside the guide cylinder assembly, which are used for positioning and guiding the control rod bundle assembly when the rods are dropped. A φ58.65 circular hole is opened in the center of the top of the control rod guide cylinder assembly for the lifting and lowering movement of the grabbing mechanism, and the bottom continuous section is a regular opening and a slide groove combination structure.

[0004] Affected by multiple factors such as the frequent up and down movement of control rods during reactor operation and micro-seismicity caused by high-speed water flow, the guide clamping holes of the control rod guide tubes that have been running for a certain number of cycles are generally worn. This wear may lead to the risk of control rod jamming, thus affecting the safe operation of the nuclear power plant.

[0038] Although the control rod guide tube guide hole ultrasonic inspection device of the present invention can be implemented in many different ways, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the description herein should be considered as an example of the structure of the control rod guide tube guide hole ultrasonic inspection device, and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention to the exemplary embodiments. Therefore, in essence, the drawings and the description of the specific embodiments should be considered to be used to illustrate rather than limit the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", "horizontal", "vertical", etc. used in this document to indicate directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0040] The following is further explained in detail through specific implementation methods.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention provides an ultrasonic inspection device for guide holes of control rod guide tubes, which is used to measure the dimensions of the inner surface of each guide hole, and to remotely control the retraction of six inspection probes when they pass through the central circular hole at the top of the guide tube, and to remotely control the opening of the six inspection probes when the inspection is carried out. The ultrasonic inspection device for guide holes of control rod guide tubes comprises an opening and closing assembly connection block 1, a probe opening and closing fixing seat 2, a probe opening and closing pull rod 4, a probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7, and an ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9. The opening and closing assembly connection block 1 and the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2 are fixedly connected as a whole, and they have a cavity inside. The probe opening and closing pull rod 4 is slidably arranged in the cavity. The probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 is hinged in the hole of the side wall of the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2, and the upper hinge rod pressure end 18 of the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 extends into the internal cavity of the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2, and the upper hinge rod opening and closing end 19 of the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 extends to the outside of the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2, and the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 is installed on the upper hinge rod opening and closing end 19. The probe opening and closing pull rod 4 is driven to move axially, so that the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 can rotate, thereby causing the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 to rotate.

[0042] The probe opening and closing fixing seat 2 is a fixed frame for six ultrasonic inspection probe assemblies 9, and the six ultrasonic inspection probe assemblies 9 are installed on the upper and lower end surfaces of the fixed frame through the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7, the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8 and its pin shaft.

[0043] The probe opening and closing cylinder 3 realizes the opening and closing of the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 by means of pneumatic control. A double-acting cylinder is used, which is installed on the upper end of the opening and closing assembly connection block 1 through the cylinder's own external thread, and one end of the piston rod is connected to the probe opening and closing rod 4. Under the action of the probe opening and closing cylinder 3, the probe opening and closing rod 4 can realize relative movement in the central cavity of the opening and closing assembly connection block 1 and the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, two probe opening and closing limit blocks 5 are arranged at intervals on the probe opening and closing pull rod 4, and the two probe opening and closing limit blocks 5 are respectively located on both sides of the upper hinge rod pressure end 18. The probe opening and closing limit block 5 is made of hard material and is a disc-shaped structure. It is fixed to the probe opening and closing pull rod 4 by pins or bolts, and moves synchronously with the probe opening and closing pull rod 4 under the action of the probe opening and closing cylinder 3.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, a probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 is installed on the side of the probe opening and closing limit block 5 facing the upper hinge rod pressure end 18 (the side close to the upper hinge rod pressure end 18). The probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 is made of elastic material and is also a disc-shaped structure. It is installed on the probe opening and closing limit block 5 by bolts, and moves with the probe opening and closing pull rod 4 together with the probe opening and closing limit block 5.

[0046] like Figure 4As shown, the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 is a thin connecting rod, and its thickness is less than 3mm to adapt to the slots between the guide holes on the guide plate. The probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 has two hinge holes, namely the upper hinge rod fulcrum 16 and the upper hinge rod riveting point 17, and the upper hinge rod fulcrum 16 is used as the dividing point to divide it into an upper hinge rod pressure end 18 and an upper hinge rod opening and closing end 19.

[0047] The upper hinge rod fulcrum 16 is installed on the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2 through a pin, and the upper hinge rod riveting point 17 is connected to the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 through a rivet. The probe opening and closing cylinder 3 drives the probe opening and closing pull rod 4, the probe opening and closing limit block 5, and the probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 to move, and then the probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 applies pressure to the upper hinge rod pressure end 18, driving the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 to rotate around the upper hinge rod fulcrum 16, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9: when the probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 above the probe opening and closing pull rod 4 applies pressure to the upper hinge rod pressure end 18, the six ultrasonic inspection probes are opened synchronously; when the probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 below the probe opening and closing pull rod 4 applies pressure to the upper hinge rod pressure end 18, the six ultrasonic inspection probes are retracted synchronously.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8 is a thin connecting rod, and like the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7, its thickness is also less than 3mm to adapt to the narrow slots between the guide holes on the guide plate. The probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8 also has two hinged holes, namely the lower hinge rod fulcrum 20 and the lower hinge rod rivet point 21.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 performs water immersion probe detection on the inner surface of the guide card hole. The ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 is connected to the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 and the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8 through the upper and lower rivet holes, and it forms a parallel four-bar mechanism together with the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2, the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 and the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8. Under the action of the probe opening and closing cylinder 3, the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 opens and closes at an angle that is always parallel to the axis of the guide cylinder to be inspected, so as to ensure that it can smoothly enter each inspected guide card hole and the measurement accuracy of the guide card hole.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9 is composed of an ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22, an ultrasonic immersion probe 23, an ultrasonic signal reflector 24, a dynamic sealing ring 25, a reflector rotation drive motor 26, a static sealing ring 27, etc.

[0051] The ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22 is the mounting base for all parts of the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9, and is riveted to the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7 and the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8 through the upper and lower rivet holes. In order to meet the measurement requirements of the inner surface of the guide card hole, the maximum diameter of the cylindrical part of the ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22 needs to be smaller than the inner diameter of the guide card hole, that is, less than 10.725mm.

[0052] The ultrasonic immersion probe 23 is a self-made high-frequency ultrasonic immersion probe, which transmits ultrasonic signals and receives reflected ultrasonic signals to transmit to the ultrasonic instrument, thereby obtaining the inner surface size of the guide card hole to be inspected. The ultrasonic immersion probe 23 is installed in the mounting hole on the ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22 and fixed together by bonding.

[0053] The ultrasonic signal reflector 24 is mounted on the reflector rotation drive motor 26, and the motor output shaft is matched with the center hole of the reflector and fixed together by bonding. The ultrasonic signal reflector 24 reflects the ultrasonic signal from the ultrasonic immersion probe 23 through a 45-degree mirror, and reflects the ultrasonic signal transmitted in the vertical direction into a horizontal direction. The horizontally transmitted ultrasonic signal reaches the inner wall of the guide card hole and is partially reflected. At the same time, the ultrasonic signal reflector receives the reflected horizontally transmitted ultrasonic signal and reflects it into a vertically transmitted ultrasonic signal to the ultrasonic immersion probe 23.

[0054] The dynamic sealing ring 25 is installed in the hole on the ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22. It adopts an elastic compression structure. Its inner wall fits with the axis of the ultrasonic signal reflector 24, thereby forming a sealing structure to prevent water from entering the sealed cavity of the reflector rotation drive motor 26 during underwater inspection and causing damage to the motor's electrical components.

[0055] The reflector rotation drive motor 26 is also installed in the cavity on the ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22, and is used to drive the high-speed rotation of the ultrasonic signal reflector 24 when implementing ultrasonic inspection, so as to distribute the ultrasonic signal emitted by the ultrasonic immersion probe 23 to the entire circumferential inner wall of the guide card hole through the ultrasonic signal reflector 24, thereby achieving 360-degree inspection full coverage.

[0056] The static sealing ring 27 is installed at the lower end of the cavity on the ultrasonic inspection probe bracket 22, and adopts an elastic compression structure. Its outer wall fits the inner wall of the cavity, and a circular hole is opened in the center for wiring the reflector rotation drive motor 26.

[0057] like Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the lower centering seat 10 is fixed to the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2 by bolts, and is the mounting base of the lower support mechanism, which is a long rod mechanism, with 4 square grooves on the upper part and an internal thread structure at the lower end center. One end of the 4 support tiles 11 is installed in the 4 square grooves of the lower centering seat 10 by threaded pins, and the internal thread at the lower end center is threadedly connected with the external thread at the upper end of the lower centering rod 14.

[0058] When the support tile 11 is used for inspection, in order to prevent the inspection probe from shaking, it is supported in the central hole of the lower guide plate of the inspected guide plate in the guide cylinder, thereby improving the inspection accuracy. The support tile 11 adopts a long strip design, with two support opening and closing slides 28 on the upper and lower sides, which are respectively connected to the lower centering seat 10 and the lower centering slider 12 through pins, and the support tile 11 is moved radially by the height change of the support opening and closing slides 28, thereby realizing the synchronous opening and closing of the lower support structure.

[0059] The lower centering slider 12 connects the support tile 11 and the lower centering cylinder seat 13, and is a cylindrical structure with four square grooves evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. The support tile 11 is connected to the square groove of the lower centering seat 10 through a pin, and a threaded hole is opened at the bottom, and is connected to the lower centering cylinder seat 13 through bolts.

[0060] The lower centering cylinder seat 13 is a long rod structure with a flange structure designed at the upper end. It is connected to the lower centering slider 12 by bolts. The center of the lower end is an internal thread structure, which is used to fix the cylinder seat of the lower centering cylinder 15. The center is a hole, and the lower centering pull rod 14 passes through it and is connected to the lower centering seat 10.

[0061] The lower centering pull rod 14 is a hollow rod structure, the upper end of which is an external thread, which is threadedly connected with the central internal thread of the lower end of the lower centering seat 10; the lower end of which is an internal thread structure, which is threadedly connected with the external thread of the piston rod of the lower centering cylinder 15.

[0062] The lower centering cylinder 15 is used to drive the opening and closing of the lower support structure. Its piston rod is fixed to the lower centering rod 14 by threaded connection, and its cylinder body is installed on the lower centering cylinder seat 13. When the lower centering cylinder 15 is in action, the piston rod is stationary, and the cylinder body moves under the action of air pressure, thereby causing the lower centering cylinder seat 13 and the lower centering slider 12 to move. The pins on the lower centering slider 12 apply pressure to the support opening and closing slide grooves 28 on the support tiles 11, thereby realizing the synchronous opening and closing of the four support tiles 11: when the cylinder body of the lower centering cylinder 15 moves upward, the cylinder body drives the lower centering cylinder seat 13 and the lower centering slider 12 to move upward through threaded connection, and the pins on the lower centering slider 12 open and close the support on the support tile 11 The slide groove 28 applies upward pressure, and the pin slides radially inward while approaching the height of the supporting opening and closing slide groove 28, so that the four supporting tiles 11 are synchronously retracted; when the cylinder body of the lower centering cylinder 15 moves downward, the cylinder body drives the lower centering cylinder seat 13 and the lower centering slider 12 to move downward through the threaded connection, and the pin on the lower centering slider 12 applies downward pressure to the supporting opening and closing slide groove 28 on the supporting tile 11, and the pin slides radially outward while moving away from the height of the supporting opening and closing slide groove 28, so that the four supporting tiles 11 are synchronously opened.

[0063] When ultrasonic testing is performed on the guide holes of the control rod guide tube, after the ultrasonic testing equipment is installed on the guide tube to be tested, the piston rod of the probe opening and closing cylinder contracts, driving the six probe opening and closing upper hinge rods 7, the ultrasonic testing probe assembly 9, and the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8 to retract into the slots on the probe opening and closing fixing seat 2, so that the envelope circle diameter of the six testing probes is less than 58.65mm; the lower centering cylinder body extends, driving the four support tiles 11 to retract synchronously, so that the envelope circle diameter of the four support tiles is also less than 58.65mm, so that the entire control rod guide tube guide hole ultrasonic testing device can smoothly pass through the small-sized circular hole in the center of the top of the guide tube. The retracted state of the control rod guide tube guide hole ultrasonic testing device when entering the guide tube is as shown in the figure. Fig.12 shown.

[0064] When the entire control rod guide tube guide hole ultrasonic inspection device passes through the small-sized circular hole at the center of the top of the guide tube and is ready to perform ultrasonic inspection, the piston rod of the probe opening and closing cylinder extends, and the probe opening and closing pull rod 4 and the probe opening and closing elastic top block 6 press down the pressure end of the upper hinge rod to open the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7, and realize the synchronous opening of the six ultrasonic inspection probes to reach the radial position of the guide hole through the parallel four-bar mechanism composed of the probe opening and closing upper hinge rod 7, the ultrasonic inspection probe assembly 9, the probe opening and closing lower hinge rod 8, and the probe opening and closing fixed seat 2, and realize the full coverage of the inspection of the 24 guide holes through circumferential rotation; the cylinder body of the lower centering seat shrinks, driving the four support tiles to open synchronously, and support them to the center circular hole of the lower guide plate, ensuring that the inspection equipment and the inspection probe are in a stable state during the inspection, and improving the detection accuracy of the inner surface of the guide hole. The opening state of the control rod guide tube guide hole ultrasonic inspection device when entering the guide tube is as follows: Fig.13 shown.

[0065] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
