Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water conveyance tunnel defect detection equipment, in particular to a nuclear power plant water conveyance tunnel online monitoring system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The water conveyance tunnel of the nuclear power plant introduces clean seawater from a water source into the power plant, and long-term erosion of the water flow can cause damage to the internal structure of the water conveyance tunnel, such as cracks and collapse. In addition, marine organisms, sediment and other foreign matter can also appear in the water conveyance tunnel. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly detect the defects inside the water conveyance tunnel to obtain data information such as the growth of marine organisms, the sedimentation of sediment, the exploration and distribution of possible foreign matter in the water conveyance tunnel. Due to the complex internal environment of the water conveyance tunnel and the large uncertainty of the underwater environment, manual inspection needs to be carried out under the condition of water stop or diving. Water stop detection affects water supply, and manual diving has safety problems.

[0003] In related technologies, a pre-buried detection device is used to realize the collection and remote monitoring and management of monitoring data in the water conveyance tunnel. The water conveyance tunnel can be monitored at any time without changing the working state of the water conveyance tunnel, without sending personnel into the tunnel for detection, and without affecting water supply. The reliability and efficiency of the safety monitoring and management of the water conveyance tunnel are high. However, the pre-buried detection device needs to be pre-constructed and buried in the water conveyance tunnel. Moreover, due to the internal closure, high humidity and long distance of the water conveyance tunnel, it is difficult to install monitoring devices in all places, and it is difficult to guarantee the integrity and function of the water conveyance tunnel detection.

[0004] An underwater robot is used to realize close observation of the inner wall of the water conveyance tunnel by using a detection device carried by the underwater robot, to complete defect detection work such as cracks and foreign matter in the water conveyance tunnel. Personnel do not need to be sent into the tunnel for detection, the visual angle covers the main parts of the water conveyance tunnel, the detection area of the water conveyance tunnel is fully covered, local damage, sediment accumulation and other problems of the water conveyance tunnel are discovered in time, and manpower and resources are saved. However, when the underwater robot detects in the water conveyance tunnel, it needs to dive into the water conveyance tunnel. When the water conveyance tunnel is running, there is a high-speed water flow inside the water conveyance tunnel. When the water flow speed is too high, the underwater robot is difficult to hover stably, causing detection errors, and even the underwater robot cannot be detected. It is difficult to meet the needs of online monitoring of long-distance, high-flow-rate, high-water-depth large water conveyance tunnels without water stop. Moreover, when the underwater robot loses control due to a serious fault under water, the underwater robot becomes a foreign matter left in the water conveyance tunnel, affecting the use of the water conveyance tunnel. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a nuclear power plant water conveyance tunnel online monitoring system to solve the problems that the current technology cannot meet the needs of online monitoring of long-distance, high-flow-rate, high-water-depth large water conveyance tunnels without water stop, and the underwater robot becomes a foreign matter left in the water conveyance tunnel when it loses control under water, affecting the use of the water conveyance tunnel.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the drawings, the online monitoring system for water conveying tunnel of nuclear power plant provided by an embodiment of the present application comprises a monitoring robot 100, a hoisting mechanism 200, a tensile cable 300 and a winding and unwinding device 400; wherein, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the hoisting mechanism 200 is used to lower the monitoring robot 100 to the bottom of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500; the tensile cable 300 is connected with the monitoring robot 100, and the tensile cable 300 is used for power supply and data transmission of the monitoring robot 100; the take-up device 400 is connected with the tensile cable 300, and the take-up device 400 is used for winding and unwinding the tensile cable 300, and can drag the monitoring robot 100 through the tensile cable 300. As shown in the figure, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the monitoring robot 100 comprises a mobile body 1, a monitoring device 2 and a hydraulic power mechanism 3 installed on the mobile body 1, the mobile body 1 comprises a crawler walking mechanism 11 and a transmission mechanism 12 connected with the crawler walking mechanism 11; the monitoring device 2 is used to acquire environmental information in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, the hydraulic power mechanism 3 is connected with the transmission mechanism 12, and the hydraulic power mechanism 3 provides driving force for the crawler walking mechanism 11; and the transmission mechanism 12 comprises a clutch device 121 configured to be separated when power is off, so that the hydraulic power mechanism 3 is disconnected with the crawler walking mechanism 11.

[0052] In this embodiment, the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel online monitoring system is used for online monitoring of marine organisms, sand, silt and other foreign matters in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, and the monitoring robot 100 is a key execution part of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel online monitoring system. When performing monitoring operation, the monitoring robot 100 is lowered to the bottom of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, for example, the bottom of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 can be a plane, through the hoisting mechanism 200; then the monitoring robot 100 performs online monitoring operation in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, without the need for pre-construction burying in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, which guarantees the integrity and function of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, and the operation is simple and convenient. Moreover, the monitoring robot 100 has safety and stability, can work for a long time and a long distance, saves a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and greatly reduces the monitoring cost.

[0053] Specifically, the monitoring robot 100 comprises a mobile body 1 and a monitoring device 2 and a hydraulic power mechanism 3 mounted on the mobile body 1. The mobile body 1 serves as a walking part and a main support of the monitoring robot 100, and provides a bearing function for the rest of the functional modules of the monitoring robot 100. The mobile body 1 realizes the walking part function by using a tracked walking mechanism 11, and the hydraulic power mechanism 3 is drivingly connected with the tracked walking mechanism 11 through a transmission mechanism 12 to provide driving force for the tracked walking mechanism 11. When performing the internal monitoring operation of the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant, the monitoring robot 100 relies on the tracked walking mechanism 11 to realize wall-climbing in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant, and has stable movement, strong adaptability, water flow resistance, posture stability under high flow rate, and certain positioning ability, can adapt to high flow rate and high water depth environment, so that the monitoring robot 100 does not need to perform monitoring operation in the static water state, does not need to empty the water in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant, can perform monitoring operation at any time without changing the working state of the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant, does not affect water supply, and is convenient and flexible to use.

[0054] When the monitoring robot 100 walks in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant, the monitoring robot 100 follows to obtain the environmental information in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant through the monitoring device 2 such as a camera and a laser scanning device carried on the mobile body 1, for example, obtains video image information and three-dimensional cloud images in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant.

[0055] The tensile cable 300 is connected with the monitoring robot 100, and is used for power supply and data transmission of the monitoring robot 100. The tensile cable 300 has certain tensile capacity and is not easy to be pulled off, and is wound or unwound synchronously with the walking of the monitoring robot 100 through the winding and unwinding device 400, to ensure the safety of the tensile cable 300, realize stable power supply and information transmission of the monitoring robot 100, and realize real-time information transmission between the monitoring robot 100 and the remote control console for the operator to view and operate, so that online video monitoring and contour scanning in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant can be realized under the assistance of the tensile cable 300 and the remote control console, accurate and real-time acquisition of data information such as growth of marine organisms in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant, sand deposition, possible foreign matter exploration and distribution in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant can be realized, and foreign matter distribution evaluation in the water conveyance tunnel 500 of the nuclear power plant can be completed.

[0056] Meanwhile, the tensile cable 300 can withstand the tensile force required for towing the monitoring robot 100, and the winding and unwinding device 400 can tow the monitoring robot 100 to move by winding the tensile cable 300, so that in an emergency, for example, when the monitoring robot 100 loses control due to a serious failure under water, the monitoring device 2 fails to work or transmit data, or even causes damage, etc., the monitoring robot 100 can be towed back to be collected through the tensile cable 300, so as to avoid leaving the monitoring robot 100 in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 as a foreign matter, without stopping water supply for manual collection, without affecting water supply, and without safety problems.

[0057] Further, the transmission mechanism 12 comprises a clutch device 121, which can be automatically separated after power failure, so as to disconnect the hydraulic power mechanism 3 from the crawler traveling mechanism 11. For example, the clutch device 121 can be a power-off self-resetting clutch, which can be automatically disconnected after power failure, so as to disconnect the transmission of the hydraulic power mechanism 3 from the crawler traveling mechanism 11. Thus, when the monitoring robot 100 needs to be towed back to be collected in an emergency, the clutch device 121 is controlled to be powered off and separated, so that the transmission of the hydraulic power mechanism 3 from the crawler traveling mechanism 11 is disconnected, and the crawler traveling mechanism 11 can move freely, so as to greatly reduce the resistance of towing the monitoring robot 100 to move, effectively ensure that the tensile cable 300 can smoothly tow the monitoring robot 100 back to be collected, and meet the requirement of towing the monitoring robot 100 back to be collected after a serious failure under water.

[0058] The nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel online monitoring system of the embodiment can hoist the monitoring robot 100 to the bottom of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 through the hoisting mechanism 200, and the monitoring robot 100 can realize wall-climbing in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 by relying on the crawler traveling mechanism 11, so as to move stably, have strong adaptability, have water flow resistance, have posture stability under high flow rate, and have certain positioning capability. The monitoring robot 100 can obtain environmental information in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 through the monitoring device 2 carried in the walking process, and realize stable power supply and information transmission of the monitoring robot 100 through the tensile cable 300 and the winding and unwinding device 400, so as to realize real-time acquisition of environmental information in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500. Moreover, the monitoring operation can be performed at any time without changing the working state of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, without affecting the function of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, without affecting water supply, and being convenient and flexible to use. The system is suitable for online monitoring of the inside of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 in normal water conveying, and meets the requirement of online monitoring of marine organisms, sand setting and other foreign matters in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 with high flow rate, large water depth and long distance.

[0059] In addition, by arranging the tensile cable 300 and the winding and unwinding device 400, the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel online monitoring system also has a failure handling mechanism. When the monitoring robot 100 has a serious failure underwater or in an emergency, the monitoring robot 100 can be dragged back by the tensile cable 300, so as to avoid leaving the monitoring robot 100 in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 as a foreign object, and the water supply is not affected, and there is no safety problem. At the same time, by arranging the clutch device 121 to be separated when power is off, the monitoring robot 100 has a failure automatic unlocking driving function. When the monitoring robot 100 needs to be dragged back in an emergency, the caterpillar walking mechanism 11 can be freely rotated, the resistance of dragging the monitoring robot 100 is greatly reduced, and the tensile cable 300 can effectively drag the monitoring robot 100 back.

[0060] The nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel online monitoring system of the embodiment effectively solves the problems that it is difficult to meet the online monitoring demand in a long-distance, high-flow-rate, high-water-depth large water conveying tunnel without stopping water, and a submerged robot becomes a foreign object in the water conveying tunnel when it has a serious failure, and affects the use function of the water conveying tunnel.

[0061] Specifically, the tensile force of the tensile cable 300 is greater than or equal to a preset tensile force, the preset tensile force is a product of the maximum static friction of the monitoring robot 100 on a horizontal ground and a safety factor, and the safety factor is greater than 3.

[0062] According to the kinematic principle, in order to realize the dragging of the monitoring robot 100, the tensile force of the tensile cable 300 dragging the monitoring robot 100 needs to be greater than the maximum static friction of the monitoring robot 100, that is, the tensile force of the tensile cable 300 needs to be greater than the maximum static friction of the monitoring robot 100. However, after the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 is used for a long time, marine organisms, sand, silt and other foreign objects are deposited on the inner wall of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500, and the maximum static friction of the monitoring robot 100 in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 is difficult to determine. Therefore, by arranging the tensile force of the tensile cable 300 to be greater than or equal to a preset tensile force, the preset tensile force is a product of the maximum static friction of the monitoring robot 100 on a horizontal ground and a safety factor, and the safety factor is greater than 3, that is, the tensile force of the tensile cable 300 is greater than 3 times the maximum static friction of the monitoring robot 100 on a horizontal ground. It can be ensured that the tensile cable 300 can bear the tensile force required for dragging the monitoring robot 100, and the tensile cable 300 can effectively drag the monitoring robot 100 back, so as to avoid the monitoring robot 100 becoming a foreign object in the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500 when it has a serious failure, and affecting the use function of the nuclear power plant water conveying tunnel 500.

The total diameter of the anti-pulling cable 300 is controlled to be 26±0.5 mm, and the volume after winding is not too large, which is convenient for use and transportation.

[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the hoisting device 201 adopts an electric hoist portal crane, specifically a double 10-ton extended portal double hoist system. The hoisting device 201 is equipped with two electric hoists for hoisting from the hooks on both sides of the hoisting platform 202. The two electric hoists have good synchronous performance and can be used separately or synchronously. The hoisting load is small, but the lifting height is large, and the hoisting platform 202 can be moved and adjusted within a large range. The hoisting range covers the entire wellhead 601, ensuring that the hoisting platform 202 can be hoisted from the shore on the side of the shaft 600 into the shaft 600. The double hooks of the hoisting device 201 can be controlled simultaneously or individually to ensure the stability of the hoisting platform 202. When the hoisting platform 202 enters the shaft 600, it ensures that the hoisting platform 202 will not jam in the shaft 600.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 13 to 15 The winding and unwinding device 400 includes a cable winch, which is arranged on the hoisting device 201. The cable winch realizes real-time winding and unwinding of the tensile cable 300 during monitoring operations, preventing the monitoring robot 100 from being entangled. In the event of equipment failure or other emergencies, the cable winch pulls the monitoring robot 100 back through the tensile cable 300.

[0108] In some specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 15 The cable winch includes a frame 401 and a winding drum 402, which is rotatably arranged in the frame 401. The winding drum 402 is also provided with a wire arranging device 403 and a wire pressing device 404. Before monitoring operations, the tensile cable 300 is wound on the winding drum 402. The cable winch is controlled and driven by a hydraulic servo system, connected to the winding drum 402 through a hydraulic speed reducer 405, and rotates the winding drum 402 to realize winding or unwinding of the tensile cable 300. In some specific embodiments, the cable winch meets the requirement of pulling the monitoring robot 100, with a rated pulling force greater than or equal to 8000 kg.

[0109] Optionally, the cable winch is also provided with a detection device, which can realize real-time monitoring and feedback of the winding and unwinding speed of the tensile cable 300, and synchronous counting of the length of the tensile cable 300, realizing automatic data addition and subtraction function. The winding and unwinding speed of the tensile cable 300 is synchronized with the walking speed of the monitoring robot 100, and can be manually and automatically switched and controlled. Optionally, the cable winch is also provided with a heat dissipation device, which has heat dissipation function, and is beneficial to maintaining the working temperature of the tensile cable 300.

[0110] Optionally, the cable winch adopts modular design, realizing modularization of each function, facilitating installation, debugging and function replacement; the whole cable winch is arranged on the top of the hoisting device 201, and is simple and convenient to use.

[0111] Any combination of the technical features in the above-described embodiments can be made, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, however, it is to be understood that the application embraces all such possible combinations.

[0112] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
