Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly, an electrical penetration component, and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Technology
[0002] Electrical penetrations (EPPs) are specialized electrical devices installed on the reactor pressure vessel and containment vessel to allow electrical signals to pass through the vessel. Under normal and various accident conditions, including earthquakes and loss-of-coolant accidents, EPPs must ensure the integrity of the reactor vessel and prevent the leakage of radioactive materials. Simultaneously, they must maintain the continuity of electrical and signal transmission between the inside and outside of the vessel. A typical EPP consists of a metal shell, insulating material, and metal pins. The metal shell connects to the reactor vessel and supports the entire structure; the metal pins connect the inside and outside of the reactor vessel, transmitting signals and electrical energy; the insulating material ensures insulation between the metal shell and the metal pins, and between the metal pins themselves, and guarantees the sealing of the reactor vessel. The metal shell is typically made of materials with excellent mechanical properties and radiation resistance, such as 304 stainless steel or SA105. The metal pins are typically made of alloy materials with excellent electrical conductivity, such as 4J29, 4J42, or 4J50. For the insulating material, more mature EPPs utilize organic materials. By leveraging the insulating and elastic properties of organic materials, a certain degree of insulation and sealing can be achieved through extrusion at room temperature. However, with the advancement of nuclear reactor technology, the demand for high-temperature applications has gradually increased, and the requirements for radiation resistance have also gradually improved. Organic materials are prone to aging under high temperatures and radiation, losing their sealing effect and leading to the failure of electrical penetrations.
[0003] In view of this, based on years of experience in production and design in this and related fields, the inventor has designed a plug-in ceramic encapsulation component, an electrical penetration component and its manufacturing method through repeated experiments, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

The metal shell is cylindrical and has an axially through mounting cavity. The ceramic sheet covers one end of the metal shell and closes the end. The end guide pin passes through the ceramic sheet. The ceramic sheet and the metal shell, as well as the ceramic sheet and the end guide pin, are sealed connections.
[0006] In the aforementioned plug-in ceramic package assembly, the ceramic sheet is brazed to the metal housing and to the end pin, respectively, by an active metal brazing method.

[0012] Step 2: The metal shell and the end guide pin obtained in Step 1 are brazed to the ceramic sheet using Ag-Cu-Ti active brazing filler metal. During the brazing process, the temperature is first increased from room temperature to 550°C at 10°C / min, then held for 20 min, then increased to 720°C at 10°C / min, held for 20 min, then increased to 850°C at 10°C / min, held for 10 min, and finally decreased to 300°C at 5°C / min, and then cooled in the furnace.
[0013] In the method for manufacturing the connector ceramic package assembly as described above, the solder used for brazing is AgCuTi / Cu / BNi-2.
[0014] In the method for fabricating the connector ceramic package assembly as described above, the thickness ratio of the AgCuTi, Cu, and BNi-2 layers in the solder is 1:2:1.
[0015] In the method for manufacturing the connector ceramic package assembly as described above, after brazing, the connector ceramic package assembly is subjected to helium mass spectrometry leak detection to ensure that the hermeticity of the connector ceramic package assembly is better than 1E-9 Pa·m. 3 / min.
[0016] This invention proposes a plug-in electrical penetration component, comprising a cylindrical body, a connecting pin, and two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies as described above. The cylindrical body has an axially penetrating connecting cavity. The two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies are respectively disposed at both ends of the cylindrical body. One end of each plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly with a ceramic sheet is inserted into the connecting cavity, and the outer wall of the metal shell of each plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly is sealed to the inner wall of the cylindrical body. The connecting pin is axially disposed within the connecting cavity, and both ends of the connecting pin are respectively connected to the end pins of the two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies.
[0017] As described above, in the electrical penetration connector, the cylindrical body is a metal cylindrical body, and the outer wall of the metal outer shell is sealed to the inner wall of the cylindrical body by welding.
[0018] In the above-described electrical penetration connector, the two ends of the connecting guide pin are respectively connected to the corresponding end guide pin via a third crown spring.
[0019] The plug-in electrical penetration component as described above further includes two disk assemblies, which are respectively aligned and connected to the two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies.
[0020] As described above, in the plug-in electrical penetration component, the disc assembly includes a first disc, a second disc, a connector, and at least one connector guide pin. The connector is cylindrical and has an axially penetrating connector cavity. The first disc and the second disc are respectively disposed at both ends of the connector cavity. The first disc contains at least one first crown spring that axially penetrates the first disc. The second disc contains at least one second crown spring that axially penetrates the second disc. The connector guide pin is arranged axially along the connector cavity, and both ends of the connector guide pin are respectively connected to the first crown spring and the second crown spring.

The end guide pin is connected to the second crown spring.
[0021] As described above, in the electrical connection through-hole component, the connector is fitted with a fastening nut, which is threadedly connected to the cylinder and fixes the connector to the cylinder.

[0055] The details of the present invention can be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings and the description of specific embodiments. However, the specific embodiments of the present invention described herein are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way. Under the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can conceive of any possible modifications based on the invention, and these should all be considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100, which includes a ceramic sheet 10, a metal housing 20 and at least one end guide pin 30. The metal housing 20 is cylindrical and has an axially penetrating mounting cavity 21. The ceramic sheet 10 covers one end of the mounting cavity 21 and closes the end. The end guide pin 30 is disposed through the ceramic sheet 10. The ceramic sheet 10 and the metal housing 20 are sealed together, and the ceramic sheet 10 and the end guide pin 30 are sealed together.
[0057] The ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 proposed in this invention is used for sealing the electrical penetration part 200. The ceramic sheet 10 has good insulation and sealing effects even at high temperatures, and can exhibit stable insulation and sealing performance under long-term service conditions. It is not only resistant to high temperatures but also has high reliability.
[0058] The plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 proposed in this invention can be manufactured independently. Specifically, the ceramic sheet 10, metal casing 20, and end guide pins 30 are first sealed and connected as a single unit to form the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100. Then, the plug-in electrical penetration component 200 is sealed using the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100. In this way, the connection between the ceramic sheet 10 and the metal casing 20, and the connection between the metal casing 20 and the cylindrical body 210 of the plug-in electrical penetration component 200, are achieved through two assembly steps. This avoids waste of related components such as the cylindrical body 210 of the plug-in electrical penetration component 200 due to connection failure between the ceramic sheet 10 and the metal casing 20, thus saving costs. Furthermore, since the connection process of each component is achieved through different steps, the influencing factors of each connection process are greatly reduced, which helps to improve the success rate of each connection process.
[0059] The present invention also proposes a method for manufacturing the aforementioned plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100, wherein the ceramic sheet 10, the end guide pin 30, and the metal shell 20 are connected by active metal brazing to form the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100. The active metal brazing method eliminates the need for the cumbersome metallization process of the ceramic sheet and only requires one sintering during the welding process, thereby improving welding efficiency and reducing costs.
[0060] The method for manufacturing the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 proposed in this invention only requires welding between the ceramic sheet 10 and the end guide pin 30, and between the ceramic sheet 10 and the metal shell 20 during the brazing process. This reduces the number of factors affecting the welding effect and improves the success rate of brazing.
[0061] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the solder used in the active metal brazing method is AgCuTi / Cu / BNi-2 solder.
[0062] In one optional example of this embodiment, AgCuTi, Cu, and BNi-2 are compounded in a 1:2:1 ratio (thickness). Using this ratio, after welding, the continuous Cu layer of suitable thickness in the weld 40 formed by the solder can prevent Ti from diffusing into the weld, avoiding the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds; simultaneously, the suitable thickness of the soft Cu layer has little impact on the overall strength, thus exhibiting high shear strength (approximately 100 MPa).
[0063] Preferably, in the solder, AgCuTi has a thickness of 50 μm, Cu has a thickness of 100 μm, and BNi-2 has a thickness of 50 μm.
[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the brazing is performed in two steps. In the first step (i.e., step 1), the metal shell and the end guide pin are brazed together with the Cu foil using BNi-2 brazing filler metal. The process is as follows: first, the temperature is increased from room temperature to 300°C at 10°C / min, then held for 10 min, then increased to 500°C at 10°C / min, held for 10 min, then increased to 900°C at 10°C / min, held for 10 min, then increased to 1030°C at 10°C / min, held for 10 min, and finally cooled down at 10°C / min for 90 min until the furnace cools down. The second step (i.e., step 2) involves brazing the metal shell and end guide pin obtained in the first step to the ceramic sheet using Ag-Cu-Ti active brazing filler metal. During the brazing process, the temperature is first increased from room temperature to 550°C at 10°C / min, then held for 20 min, then increased to 720°C at 10°C / min, held for 20 min, then increased to 850°C at 10°C / min, held for 10 min, and finally decreased to 300°C at 5°C / min, and then cooled in the furnace.
[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after brazing is completed, the mating ceramic packaging assembly 100 needs to be leak-tested using a helium mass spectrometer to ensure that the hermeticity of the mating ceramic packaging assembly 100 is better than 1E-9 Pa·m. 3 / min.
[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 includes a plurality of parallel spaced end guide pins 30, each end guide pin 30 axially penetrating the ceramic sheet 10.
[0067] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the ceramic sheet 10 is made of 95%-99% alumina ceramic, preferably 99% alumina ceramic.
[0068] The present invention also proposes a plug-in electrical penetration member 200, which includes a cylindrical body 210, at least one connecting guide pin 220, and two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies 100 as described above. The cylindrical body 210 has an axially penetrating connecting cavity 211. The two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies 100 are respectively disposed at both ends of the cylindrical body 210. One end of the ceramic sheet 10 of each plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 10 is inserted into the connecting cavity 211, and the outer wall of the metal shell 20 of each plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 is sealed to the inner wall of the cylindrical body 210. The connecting guide pin 220 is axially disposed in the connecting cavity 211, and both ends of the connecting guide pin 220 are respectively connected to the end guide pins 30 of the two plug-in ceramic encapsulation assemblies 100.
[0069] like Figure 3As shown, the plug-in electrical penetration component 200 proposed in this invention has its two ends of the cylindrical body 210 connected to the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100. By simply connecting the metal shell 20 of the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 to the cylindrical body 210, the cylindrical body 210 can be sealed and insulated, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the plug-in electrical penetration component 200 and reduces the cost.
[0070] The present invention also proposes a method for manufacturing a plug-in electrical penetration component 200, wherein a plug-in ceramic encapsulation component 100 is sealed and fixedly connected to one end of a cylindrical body 210, the airtightness between the plug-in ceramic encapsulation component 100 and the cylindrical body 210 is tested, a connecting guide pin 220 is placed into a connecting cavity 211 and connected to an end guide pin 30, and then the end guide pin 30' of another plug-in ceramic encapsulation component 100' is connected to the other end of the connecting guide pin 220, the other plug-in ceramic encapsulation component 100' is sealed and fixedly connected to the other end of the cylindrical body 210, and the airtightness between the other plug-in ceramic encapsulation component 100' and the cylindrical body 210 is tested.
[0071] The method for manufacturing the electrical penetration component 200 proposed in this invention connects the metal shell 20 and the cylindrical body 210 of the ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 and tests their airtightness, thereby achieving sealing and insulation of the cylindrical body 210, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the electrical penetration component 200 and reduces costs.
[0072] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the metal shell 20 and the inner wall of the cylinder 210 are connected by welding to form a sealed connection.
[0073] Preferably, the welding method between the metal shell 20 and the cylinder 210 is argon arc welding.
[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the airtightness between the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 and the cylinder 210, and the airtightness between the other plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100' and the cylinder 210, must both be better than 1E-9 Pa·m. 3 / min, meaning the airtightness of the entire electrical penetration component 200 must be better than 1E-9 Pa·m. 3 / min.
[0075] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the two ends of the connecting guide pin 220 are respectively connected to the corresponding end guide pins 30 and 30' via the third crown spring 230.

[0077] In an optional embodiment of the invention, the plug-in electrical penetration member 200 further includes two disk assemblies 240, with each plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 connected to one disk assembly 240. The disk assembly 240 is used for further securing the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100 and for transmitting signals or electrical energy between the disk assembly 240 and the end pins 30 of the plug-in ceramic encapsulation assembly 100.
[0078] In an optional example of this embodiment, the disc assembly 240 includes a first disc 241, a second disc 242, a connector 243, and at least one connector guide pin 244. The connector 243 is cylindrical and has an axially penetrating connector cavity. The first disc 241 and the second disc 242 are respectively disposed at both ends of the connector cavity. The first disc 241 is provided with at least one first crown spring 245, which axially penetrates the first disc 241. The second disc 242 is provided with at least one second crown spring 246, which axially penetrates the second disc 242. The connector guide pin 244 is arranged along the axial direction of the connector cavity, and both ends of the connector guide pin 244 are respectively connected to the first crown spring 245 and the second crown spring 246.

Furthermore, the disc assembly 240 and the insertion ceramic encapsulation assembly 100, as well as the second crown spring 246 and the end guide pin 30, are all insertion structures, enabling the insertion electrical penetration member 200 to be inserted and removed multiple times while remaining sealed.
