It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not intended to limit the application. In addition, it should be noted that, in the drawings, only the parts related to the application are shown and not all the structures.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0038] During the unit commissioning of a nuclear power plant, various sampling functions need to be verified. Normally, the power assembly arranged in the containment pit can sample in the slow containment pit. However, after an accident, the containment pit is flooded with water, and the power assembly arranged in the containment pit cannot sample. However, during commissioning, the containment pit cannot be actually flooded, and there is difficulty in verifying the sampling function after the containment pit is flooded after an accident, which brings difficulty to the sampling test.
[0039] Accordingly, the present embodiment provides a sampling test device.
[0040] As Figures 1 to 2As shown, the embodiment provides a sampling test device, which comprises a pit simulation assembly 10 and a sampling assembly. The pit simulation assembly 10 comprises a liquid inlet pipe 11 and a scale 12. The liquid inlet pipe 11 is used to connect to the exhaust valve 1 of the sampling pipeline 30, and is used to inject a test liquid. The scale 12 is used to measure the height of the test liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 11. The sampling assembly comprises a vacuum structure, a sampling bottle 22 and a flow meter 23. The vacuum structure, the sampling bottle 22 and the flow meter 23 are sequentially arranged on the sampling pipeline 30 along the flow direction of the test liquid. The vacuum structure is used to provide a vacuum degree. The sampling bottle 22 is used for sampling. The flow meter 23 is used to detect the flow of the liquid in the sampling pipeline 30. Specifically, in the embodiment, the liquid inlet pipe 11 is a U-shaped pipe. The test liquid is injected into the liquid inlet pipe 11 and the height of the test liquid is maintained at a certain height, which can simulate the water level in the containment pit after the accident. The test liquid is equivalent to the sample to be extracted. The sampling assembly is used to sample from the pit simulation assembly 10. The vacuum structure in the sampling assembly is used to provide a vacuum degree, which can make the test liquid flow along the sampling pipeline. The sampling bottle 22 is used to collect the sample. The flow meter 23 is arranged upstream of the sampling bottle 22, which is used to measure the flow of the test liquid in the sampling pipeline, and further determine whether the sampling assembly can successfully take the sample. If the sampling assembly can successfully take the sample, it can ensure that the sample of the water-flooded containment pit after the accident can be normally taken.
[0041] Further, the sampling assembly further comprises a first valve 24, which is arranged upstream of the flow meter 23 along the flow direction of the liquid in the sampling pipeline 30. Specifically, in the embodiment, the first valve 24 arranged upstream of the flow meter 23 can control the opening and closing of the sampling pipeline 30, which can conveniently control the flow or stop of the test liquid during the sampling test, and avoid unnecessary waste.
[0042] Further, the sampling assembly further comprises a first isolation valve 25 and a second isolation valve 26, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the sampling bottle 22. Specifically, in the embodiment, in order to ensure that the sampling bottle 22 can be detached from the sampling pipeline 30 after sampling is completed, the first isolation valve 25 and the second isolation valve 26 are respectively arranged at both ends of the sampling bottle 22. When it is necessary to detach the sampling bottle 22, the first isolation valve 25 and the second isolation valve 26 are both closed, and then the sampling bottle 22 is detached, and the sampling is completed.
[0043] Further, the vacuum structure comprises an ejector 211, a water tank 212 and a centrifugal pump 213, the ejector 211 has a first inlet, a second inlet and an outlet, the water tank 212 is connected with the centrifugal pump 213, the centrifugal pump 213 is connected with the first inlet of the ejector 211, the second inlet is connected with the sampling pipeline 30, and the outlet is used for liquid outflow. Specifically, in the embodiment, the ejector 211 is used as a vacuumizing element, which not only has the characteristics of compact structure, small volume and light weight, but also has high efficiency, is convenient to maintain and is helpful for sampling. The liquid in the water tank 212 is pumped to the ejector 211 under the action of the centrifugal pump 213, so that the ejector 211 generates a vacuum degree, and successful sampling is ensured.
[0044] Further, the vacuum structure further comprises a check valve 214, which is arranged between the centrifugal pump 213 and the ejector 211. Specifically, in the embodiment, the check valve 214 can ensure that the liquid in the water tank 212 is pumped to the ejector 211 by the centrifugal pump 213 in one direction, can ensure the normal work of the ejector 211, and can avoid the backflow of the liquid to reduce the vacuumizing performance of the ejector 211. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the number of check valves 214 can be set to two, which can avoid affecting the normal work of the ejector 211 when a single check valve 214 fails.
[0045] Further, a funnel 111 is arranged at the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe 11. Specifically, in the embodiment, the funnel 111 is arranged at the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe 11, which can facilitate the injection of test liquid into the liquid inlet pipe 11, improve the injection efficiency, and effectively avoid the waste of test liquid during the injection process.
[0046] Further, the sampling test device further comprises a third isolation valve 31, which is arranged in the sampling pipeline 30 and is arranged on the side of the exhaust valve 1 away from the liquid inlet pipe 11. Specifically, in the embodiment, the third isolation valve 31 can control the on-off between the pit simulation assembly 10 and the sampling pipeline 30, which is convenient for sampling control.
[0047] Further, the liquid inlet pipe 11 and the scale 12 are integrally formed. Specifically, in the embodiment, the liquid inlet pipe 11 and the scale 12 are integrally formed, that is, the liquid inlet pipe 11 itself has scales, which can facilitate reading the height of the test liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 11, and the liquid inlet pipe 11 does not need to be aligned with the scale 12, which can save reading time and improve work efficiency.
[0048] Further, the sampling test device further comprises a waste liquid storage tank 40, which is arranged downstream of the sampling assembly and is used for storing waste liquid. Specifically, in the embodiment, the waste liquid storage tank 40 is arranged downstream of the outlet of the ejector 211, so as to collect the mixed liquid of the test liquid and the liquid in the water tank 212 flowing out of the ejector 211, and avoid waste or pollution.
[0049] The embodiment also discloses a test method, which is suitable for the sampling test device and comprises the following steps:
[0050] S1: connecting the liquid inlet pipe 11 to the exhaust valve 1 at the end of the sampling pipeline 30.
[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment, several exhaust valves 1 with different heights are designed on the sampling pipeline 30, and when performing the test, the exhaust valve 1 with a height close to the water-flooded height to be tested is selected first, and the liquid inlet pipe 11 is connected to the exhaust valve 1.
[0052] S2: injecting the test liquid into the liquid inlet pipe 11 until the height indicated by the scale 12 reaches the preset height value.
[0053] Specifically, in the embodiment, the third isolation valve 31 is first opened, the test liquid is injected into the liquid inlet pipe 11 until the height of the test liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 11 reaches the preset value, at this time, the liquid inlet pipe 11 is equivalent to a water-flooded pit with a preset height, and the state simulation of the water-flooded containment pit is completed.
[0054] S3: starting the vacuum structure, continuously injecting the test liquid into the liquid inlet pipe 11, and ensuring that the height of the test liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 11 remains at the preset height value.
[0055] Specifically, in the embodiment, starting the vacuum structure first requires injecting sufficient liquid into the water tank 212 to ensure that the ejector 211 can be used, then starting the centrifugal pump 213 and the ejector 211 to generate a vacuum degree in the ejector 211, then opening the first valve 24, the first isolation valve 25 and the second isolation valve 26 to open the sampling channel, under the action of the ejector 211, the test liquid flows into the sampling bottle 22 along the sampling channel, and during the sampling test, the test liquid needs to be continuously injected into the liquid inlet pipe 11 to simulate the liquid surface in the containment pit which does not decrease significantly.
[0056] S4: observing whether the real-time flow value of the flow meter 23 meets the sampling requirements.
[0057] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the flow meter 23 can monitor the flow rate of the test liquid in the sampling pipeline 30 in real time, and it can be determined whether the sampling requirement can be met through the flow rate, and it can be indicated whether the function of the sampling system can be realized.
