Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and particularly relates to a detection head calibration device. Background Art

[0002] The grid is a component of a nuclear fuel assembly, used to support and position nuclear fuel rods. Generally, spring members provided thereon are used to hold and limit the positions of the nuclear fuel rods placed therein. Since the grid needs to effectively support and position the nuclear fuel rods, it is necessary to detect whether the clamping force of the spring members can meet the requirements of support and positioning during application after the grid is manufactured. Currently in this field, the manual method is usually adopted, with low detection efficiency and unsatisfactory detection accuracy. In addition, there are existing technologies with devices that can automatically detect this clamping force, but they cannot solve the problem of automatic calibration of the detection head, resulting in low detection efficiency. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, a detection head calibration device is provided.

[0004] According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a detection head calibration device is provided, and the detection head calibration device includes: a dimension calibration component and a force value calibration component;

[0005] Both the dimension calibration component and the force value calibration component are fixed on the calibration device bracket 1111. The dimension calibration component includes a detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 and a detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102;

The position between the detection surface of the standard pressure sensor 1103 and the convex part of the sensor mounting bracket 1108 is the detection position. The detection surface of the detection head size identification sensor 1101 and the detection head size identification auxiliary light source 1102 face this detection position.

[0014] In a possible implementation manner, the telescopic end of the sensor moving slide 1107 is fixedly connected to the pressure sensor mounting seat 1106.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic diagram of a detection head calibration device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic diagram of a detection head calibration device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure: The detection head calibration device includes a dimension calibration component and a force value calibration component. Both the dimension calibration component and the force value calibration component are fixed on the calibration device bracket 1111. The dimension calibration component consists of a detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 and a detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102. The detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 and the detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102 are respectively located at both ends of the calibration device bracket 1111. The detection position is between the detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 and the detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102.

[0026] The force value calibration component includes a standard pressure sensor 1103, a pressure sensor mounting seat 1106, a sensor moving slide 1107, a sensor mounting bracket 1108, a slide moving drive motor 1109, and an elastic telescopic support rod 1110. The standard pressure sensor 1103 is fixedly arranged on the pressure sensor mounting seat 1106. The pressure sensor mounting seat 1106 is slidably connected to the sensor moving slide 1107. The elastic telescopic support rod 1110 is fixed on the sensor moving slide 1107. The sensor moving slide 1107 is slidably connected to the sensor mounting bracket 1108. The slide moving drive motor 1109 is fixedly arranged on the sensor mounting bracket 1108. The slide moving drive motor 1109 drives the sensor moving slide 1107 to slide. The rotation motor 1105 is fixedly arranged on the calibration device bracket 1111. The position between the standard pressure sensor 1103 and the protrusion of the sensor mounting bracket 1108 is the detection position. The detection surface of the detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 and the detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102 face this detection position.

[0027] When the detection head calibration device is in use, move the detection end of the grid spring clamping force detection head to the position between the standard pressure sensor 1103 and the protrusion of the sensor mounting bracket 1108. At the same time, the grid spring clamping force detection head is between the detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 and the detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102.

[0028] First, calibrate the working dimension of the grid spring clamping force detection head. Make the grid spring clamping force detection head located at the position between the standard pressure sensor 1103 and the protrusion of the sensor mounting bracket 1108. Turn on the detection head dimension recognition auxiliary light source 1102. The grid spring clamping force detection head opens to the limit dimension. The detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 measures the working dimension of the grid spring clamping force detection head. If the working dimension of the grid spring clamping force detection head is within the qualified range, the calibration ends. If the deviation of the working dimension of the grid spring clamping force detection head is too large, adjust the limit block of the grid spring clamping force detection head according to the dimension value measured by the detection head dimension recognition sensor 1101 to make its working dimension within the qualified range.

[0029] After the working dimensions of the grid spring clamping force detection head are calibrated to be qualified, the mechanical transfer parameters of the grid spring clamping force detection head can be obtained next. For example, the sensor moving slide 1107 can be driven by the slide moving drive motor 1109 to move towards the protruding part of the sensor mounting bracket 1108 until the standard pressure sensor 1103 contacts the detection end of the grid spring clamping force detection head. Then, the elastic telescopic support rod 1110 is driven to continuously apply pressure to the standard pressure sensor 1103 within a preset time period, so that the standard pressure sensor detects the pressure received by the grid spring clamping force detection head, and the mechanical transfer parameters of the grid spring clamping force detection head are adjusted based on this standard.

[0030] In a possible implementation manner, the calibration bracket 1104 is connected to the drive end of the rotation motor 1105, and the rotation motor 1105 is fixedly connected to the calibration device bracket 1111;

[0031] When it is not necessary to calibrate the detection head size recognition sensor 1101 (for example, when the detection head size recognition sensor 1101 is in a working state, or when the detection head size recognition sensor 1101 has been calibrated and is waiting for work), the rotation motor 1105 can be used to drive the calibration bracket 1104 to rotate below the calibration device bracket 1111;

[0032] When it is necessary to calibrate the detection head size recognition sensor 1101, the rotation motor 1105 is used to drive the calibration bracket 1104 to rotate above the calibration device bracket 1111, and the calibration plate of the calibration bracket 1104 is aligned with the detection head size recognition sensor 1101. In this way, by driving the calibration bracket 1104 to rotate to different positions by the rotation motor 1105, the detection head size recognition sensor 1101 can be calibrated flexibly according to the calibration requirements, and the normal detection work of the detection head size recognition sensor 1101 can be not affected.

[0033] The calibration device of the present disclosure can automatically calibrate the working dimensions and force value transfer parameters of the detection head online, and can be adjusted when the detection head is deformed or has a large error due to various external factors, so as to ensure the measurement accuracy and efficiency, and has the value of popularization and application.

[0034] The above has described the embodiments of the present disclosure. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, the practical application, or the technical improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary technical personnel in the technical field to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
