Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure assembly system provided in this invention is applied to high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power engineering, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes: a pre-assembly workshop, crane 10 and gantry crane 500;

[0042] The pre-assembly workshop is located outside the reactor building 700 and has an openable and closable roof 300 on its top. Inside the pre-assembly workshop, there is an equipment assembly area 02 that is vertically aligned with the roof 300. The equipment assembly area 02 has multiple assembly pits 22 and multiple operating platforms 12, with each operating platform 12 corresponding to and surrounding the multiple assembly pits 22.

[0043] The crane 10 is located in the pre-assembly workshop and can sequentially lift multiple cylinders moved into the pre-assembly workshop into an assembly pit 22 to assemble them into a core shell cylinder 400, and can sequentially lift multiple core support structure components moved into the pre-assembly workshop into the core shell cylinder 400 to assemble them into a core support structure 21.

[0044] The gantry crane 500 is used to span across the reactor building 700 and the pre-assembly building, and can move back and forth between the reactor building 700 and the pre-assembly building. The gantry crane 500 can lift the reactor pressure vessel cylinder 17 into another assembly pit 22 (e.g., Figure 5As shown), the core support structure 21 can be hoisted into the reactor pressure vessel shell 17 to assemble it into a combination 600 of the reactor pressure vessel shell and the core support structure (as shown). Figure 6 and Figure 7 (as shown), and capable of lifting the assembly 600 from the pre-assembly building and into the reactor compartment 800 of the reactor building 700 for in-place installation (e.g. Figure 8 and Figure 9 (As shown).

[0045] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, during hoisting operations, the roof 300 of the gantry crane 500 is in the open position to serve as a hoisting access point for the pre-assembly workshop. Normally, the roof 300 is closed to maintain the enclosure of the pre-assembly workshop. Figure 3 As shown, each assembly pit 22 is equipped with an operating platform 12. The operating platform 12 surrounds the assembly pit 22 and has a multi-layer structure from bottom to top, which facilitates the sequential assembly of multiple cylinders from bottom to top. In addition, multiple cylinders and multiple core support structure components are transferred to the pre-assembly workshop by a transfer vehicle. In addition, this solution, through the cooperation of the crane 10 (80t crane) and the gantry crane 500, can realize the assembly method of first assembling the core support structure 21, and then assembling the core support structure 21 with the reactor pressure vessel shell 17 to form a combined assembly; in addition, the gantry crane 500 can also lift the core shell 400 into the reactor pressure vessel shell 17 for assembly, and the crane 10 can also lift multiple core support structure components into the core shell 400 in sequence to assemble the reactor pressure vessel shell and the core support structure into a combined assembly 600, which can realize another assembly method of first positioning the reactor pressure vessel shell 17, and then assembling the core support structure in the reactor pressure vessel shell 17 to form a combined assembly.

[0046] In other words, this scheme allows for the pre-assembly of the reactor pressure vessel cylinder 17 and the core support structure 21 into a single assembly within the pre-assembly building outside the nuclear island, using cranes and gantry cranes, while the reactor compartment civil construction is underway. After the reactor compartment civil construction is completed, the assembly of the reactor pressure vessel cylinder and core support structure is then hoisted into and installed within the reactor compartment using a gantry crane. This allows for the parallel construction of the reactor pressure vessel cylinder and core support structure with the reactor compartment civil construction. After the reactor compartment civil construction is completed, the assembly of the reactor pressure vessel cylinder and core support structure is then installed as a whole, thus helping to shorten the main construction period of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (saving at least 6 months per reactor) and improving the economic efficiency of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.

[0047] In this plan, such as Figure 1As shown, the pre-assembly plant includes: the above-ground portion 200 and the underground portion 100.

[0048] The above-ground portion 200 of the pre-assembly plant is located above ground; the underground portion 100 of the pre-assembly plant is located underground and is connected to the above-ground portion 200, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the equipment assembly area 02 is located at the bottom of the underground portion 100 of the pre-assembly plant and extends upwards into the above-ground portion 200 of the pre-assembly plant; the roof 300 is located at the top of the above-ground portion 200 of the pre-assembly plant; as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the crane 10 is located within the above-ground portion 200 of the pre-assembly plant and spans across the underground portion 100 of the pre-assembly plant. In other words, this solution places the equipment assembly area 02 of the pre-assembly plant underground, which helps to reduce the assembly height of the pre-assembly plant and also helps to reduce interference with equipment assembly.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the multiple assembly pits 22 are arranged in two rows, with multiple assembly pits 22 in each row, and they are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence. This design helps to increase the pre-assembly capacity of the reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure, thereby further shortening the main construction period of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.

[0050] In this embodiment of the solution, in order to facilitate the arrangement of other functional areas or other supporting areas within the above-ground portion 200 of the pre-assembly plant, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the floor area of ​​the above-ground portion 200 of the pre-assembly plant is larger than the floor area of ​​the underground portion 100 of the pre-assembly plant.

[0051] Furthermore, in order to achieve cleanliness in the storage of parts and the installation of large components, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pre-assembly plant's above-ground portion 200 includes a parts storage and large component cleaning area 01, located to one side of the equipment assembly area 02. The pre-assembly plant's above-ground portion 200 also features an openable and closable door on its side, facilitating the transfer of multiple cylinders and core support structure components into the pre-assembly plant when open.

[0052] Furthermore, to facilitate the provision of more comprehensive supporting measures for pre-assembly plants, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the pre-assembly plant above ground 200 includes a small parts degreasing area 04, an air compressor room 05, a power distribution room 06, a tool room 07, a personnel preparation area 08, and / or an office area 09, and is located on the other side of the equipment assembly area 02.

[0053] This invention also provides a method for installing a reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure, which uses the reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure assembly system described above for assembly and installation, and includes the following steps:

[0054] S1. Multiple cylinders and multiple core support structure components are transferred to the pre-assembly workshop using a transfer vehicle;

[0055] S2. Using crane 10, multiple cylinders are sequentially lifted into an assembly pit 22 to assemble them into a core shell cylinder 400 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (as shown);

[0056] S3. Using a 500mm gantry crane, first lift the reactor pressure vessel cylinder 17 into another assembly pit 22 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown), then the core shell 400 is hoisted into the reactor pressure vessel shell 17 for assembly (as shown). Figure 6 (As shown), then crane 10 is used to sequentially lift multiple core support structure components into the core shell 400 to assemble them into a combination 600 of the reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure (as shown). Figure 7 (as shown); Among them, assembling the core shell 400 into the reactor pressure vessel 17 and assembling multiple core support structure components into the core shell 400 in sequence to form a composite body both use existing assembly technologies, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Alternatively, a crane 10 can be used to sequentially lift multiple core support structure components into the core shell 400 to assemble the core support structure 21 (e.g., Figure 10 As shown), a gantry crane 500 is then used to first lift the reactor pressure vessel cylinder 17 into another assembly pit 22 (as shown). Figure 5 (As shown), the core support structure 21 is then hoisted into the reactor pressure vessel cylinder 17 to assemble it into a combination 600 of the reactor pressure vessel cylinder and the core support structure (as shown). Figure 11 (as shown);

[0058] S4. Using a gantry crane 500, the assembly 600 is lifted from the pre-assembly workshop and into the reactor compartment 800 of the reactor building 700 for installation (e.g., Figure 8 and Figure 9 (As shown).

[0059] It should be noted that this plan uses a transfer vehicle to move multiple cylinders and multiple core support structure components into the parts storage and large component cleaning area 01 for storage or cleaning. Furthermore, if... Figure 4As shown, crane 10 is a small gantry crane that spans the parts storage and large component cleaning area 01 and the equipment assembly area 02, so that crane 10 can lift the cylinder or core support structure components from the parts storage and large component cleaning area 01 into the assembly pit 22 of the equipment assembly area 02; as Figure 4 As shown, in step S2, a crane 10 is used to hoist four cylinders (fourth cylinder 16, third cylinder 15, second cylinder 14, and first cylinder 13) into assembly pit 22 to assemble them into core shell cylinder 400. First, the crane 10 hoists the fourth cylinder 16 (core shell cylinder four) onto the 15 sets of support platforms located at the bottom of assembly pit 22, and adjusters of different thicknesses are installed between the fourth cylinder 16 and the 15 sets of support platforms to adjust the fourth cylinder 16 to a horizontal state. Then, the crane 10 hoists the third cylinder 15 (core shell cylinder three) onto the fourth cylinder 16, and connects the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 into a whole using bolts, anti-shear sleeves, etc. Similarly, the second cylinder 14 and the first cylinder 13 are hoisted and assembled in the same manner, which will not be described in detail here. Of course, since this scheme uses the above-mentioned reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure assembly system for assembly and installation, it also has corresponding beneficial effects, which can be referred to the previous explanation and will not be repeated here.

[0060] In this scheme, in step S3, the crane 10 is then used to sequentially lift multiple core support structure components into the core shell 400 to assemble them into a combination 600 of the reactor pressure vessel shell and the core support structure, including:

[0061] Then, using crane 10, the bottom component 18, the middle component 19, and the top component 20 of the core support structure are sequentially lifted into the core shell 400 to assemble the reactor pressure vessel shell and core support structure assembly 600 (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown).

[0062] Specifically, in step S3, the process of using a crane 10 to sequentially lift multiple core support structure components into the core shell 400 to assemble the core support structure 21 includes:

[0063] The bottom components 18 of the core support structure (including upper and lower cover plates of the support seat assembly, support roller assembly, ball outlet pipe, ball outlet connecting pipe, and lower support plate, etc.), the middle components 19 of the core support structure (including graphite and carbon core support structures, anti-spin components, clamping bands, and limiting I-beams, etc.), and the top components 20 of the core support structure (including positioning plates, pressure plates, disc spring assemblies, and upper support plates, etc.) are sequentially hoisted into the core shell 400 by crane 10 to assemble the core support structure 21 (e.g., Figure 10 (As shown).

[0064] The following is a further description of this solution with reference to specific embodiments:
