DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following will be combined with the Figures 1-2 The present application will be further described in detail.
[0030] The embodiment of the application discloses a quick release structure of a nuclear-grade temperature instrument.
[0031] With reference to Figure 1 The quick release structure of the nuclear-grade temperature instrument comprises a support pipe 1 fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the temperature instrument, and a sleeve pipe 2. In actual use, the sleeve pipe 2 of the nuclear-grade temperature instrument is fixed at the cold and hot sections of a loop in a reactor cooling system for measurement. A temperature sensing element 3 is coaxially arranged in the support pipe 1. The temperature sensing element 3 is an elongated probe head. In actual use, one end of the temperature sensing element 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve pipe 2, and the other end is inserted into the support pipe 1 and electrically connected to the temperature instrument, so that the temperature sensing element 3 senses the temperature on the side to realize detection.
[0032] With reference to Figure 1 And 2 In order to prevent the temperature sensing element 3 from being bent during pulling out of the inner cavity of the sleeve pipe 2 for maintenance, an annular baffle 4 is coaxially fixed to the end of the support pipe 1. A jacking screw sleeve 5 is arranged at one end of the sleeve pipe 2 facing the support pipe 1. One end of the jacking screw sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the sleeve pipe 2, and the other end abuts against the side of the annular baffle 4 facing the sleeve pipe 2. Thus, the jacking screw sleeve 5 only needs to be screwed during disassembly of the temperature sensing element 3.
[0033] With reference to Figure 1 And 2 The jacking screw sleeve 5 comprises a first annular block 8, a first connecting pipe 9 and a second annular block 10. The outer diameter of the first annular block 8 is larger than that of the second annular block 10. In order to provide good support for the jacking screw sleeve 5 during installation of the temperature sensing element 3, a stepped groove is formed at one end of the sleeve pipe 2 facing the support pipe 1. The stepped groove is connected to the outer side of the sleeve pipe 2, so that a connecting column 7 is formed at one end of the sleeve pipe 2 facing the support pipe 1, and the connecting column 7 forms a stepped surface with the sleeve pipe 2.
[0034] With reference to Figure 1 And 2 The first annular block 8 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the connecting column 7. The first annular block 8 abuts against the stepped surface in the initial state. The first connecting pipe 9 is integrally formed on the side wall of the first annular block 8. The outer diameter of the first connecting pipe 9 is smaller than that of the first annular block 8. The second annular block 10 is integrally formed on the inner wall of one end of the first connecting pipe 9 away from the first annular block 8. The side of the second annular block 10 away from the first annular block 8 abuts against the side wall of the annular baffle 4.
[0035] With reference to Figure 1 And 2In order to reduce the abrasion caused by the sliding of the second annular block 10 against the annular baffle 4, a plurality of rolling balls 15 are uniformly arranged on the side of the second annular block 10 away from the sleeve 2, and the rolling balls 15 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the second annular block 10. An annular groove 16 is formed on the side of the annular baffle 4 abutting against the second annular block 10, and the rolling balls 15 are embedded in the annular groove 16 and can roll in the annular groove 16.
[0036] With reference to Figure 1 and 2 Meanwhile, a clamping edge 13 is formed on the outer side of the first annular block 8, so as to facilitate the rotation of the first annular block 8 by a worker using a wrench. In order to prevent the worker's palm from being scratched during the installation process, a chamfer is formed on the edge of the first annular block 8.
[0037] With reference to Figure 1 and 2 In order to prevent the temperature sensing element 3 from being bent when the second annular block 10 slides along the axial direction of the annular baffle 4 during the rotation of the first annular block 8, a ball seat 17 is integrally formed on the side of the annular baffle 4 away from the support pipe 1, and a positioning groove 18 is formed in the end of the sleeve 2, which is semispherical. Through the above arrangement, the temperature sensing element 3 is always located at the central part of the support pipe 1 during the connection of the support pipe 1 and the sleeve 2, and the temperature sensing element 3 can be quickly and smoothly inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve 2.
[0038] With reference to Figure 1 and 2 The end of the temperature sensing element 3 away from the temperature instrument passes through the center of the ball seat 17 and is inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve 2, and a guide pipe 19 is fixed on the outer side of the ball seat 17, which communicates with the inner cavity of the support pipe 1. The temperature sensing element 3 passes through the ball seat 17 and the guide pipe 19 in sequence and is inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve 2. The inner wall of the positioning groove 18 is provided with a plug-in port 20 for plugging the guide pipe 19, and the plug-in port 20 communicates with the inner cavity of the sleeve 2. During the movement of the second annular block 10 away from the sleeve 2, the guide pipe 19 ensures that the temperature sensing element 3 cannot directly contact the inner wall of the inner cavity of the sleeve 2, so that the temperature sensing element 3 still remains in the central position of the inner cavity of the sleeve 2, thereby reducing the risk of bending of the temperature sensing element 3.
[0039] With reference to Figure 1 and 2, in order to ensure that the annular baffle 4 is pressed against the end of the sleeve pipe 2 during the process of connecting the support pipe 1 to the sleeve pipe 2, a locking sleeve 6 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the jacking sleeve 5, the locking sleeve 6 comprises a second connecting pipe 11 and a third annular block 12, the second connecting pipe 11 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the first connecting pipe 9, and the annular baffle 4 is located in the inner cavity of the second connecting pipe 11, the diameter of the annular baffle 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second annular block 10, the third annular block 12 is integrally formed at the end of the second connecting pipe 11 away from the sleeve pipe 2, and the third annular block 12 abuts against the side of the annular baffle 4 away from the second annular block 10. The outer edge of the third annular block 12 is provided with a chamfer.
[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and 2 In the process of installing the support pipe 1 on the sleeve pipe 2, in order to facilitate the rotation of the second connecting pipe 11, a clamping edge 13 is also provided on the side wall of the third annular block 12, and the third annular block 12 can be rotated by an open-end wrench. In order to reduce the interference between the first annular block 8 and the second connecting pipe 11 during the rotation of the first annular block 8, an avoiding part 14 is provided on the outer side of the second connecting pipe 11, the avoiding part 14 is a groove provided on the outer side of the second connecting pipe 11, and the groove is communicated with the end of the second connecting pipe 11 towards the first annular block 8. Thus, the outer diameter of the end of the second connecting pipe 11 close to the first annular block 8 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first annular block 8.
[0041] The implementation principle of the quick release structure of the nuclear grade temperature instrument according to the embodiment of the application is as follows: in the process of installing the support pipe 1 on the sleeve pipe 2, the jacking sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the connecting column 7 in advance, then the temperature sensing element 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve pipe 2, and the ball seat 17 is embedded in the positioning groove 18, the locking sleeve 6 coaxially sleeved outside the support pipe 1 is moved to the position of the annular baffle 4, at this time, the entire second connecting pipe 11 is rotated, so that the second connecting pipe 11 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the first connecting pipe 9, until the third annular block 12 presses the annular baffle 4 against the side wall of the second annular block 10.
[0042] In the process of disassembling the temperature sensing element 3, the entire locking sleeve 6 is rotated in advance, so that the locking sleeve 6 is completely separated from the second connecting pipe 11, at this time, the first annular block 8 is rotated, and in the process of rotation, the first annular block 8 slides along the axial direction of the sleeve pipe 2, until the second annular block 10 abuts against the annular baffle 4, in the entire process, under the action of the ball seat 17 and the guide pipe 19, the temperature sensing element 3 is smoothly slid out along the axial direction of the sleeve pipe 2, and it is difficult to bend.
[0043] The above are the preferred embodiments of the application, which do not limit the protection scope of the application, therefore: any equivalent changes made on the structure, shape and principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
