Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance technology, and in particular to a quick fixing device for nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The heat transfer tubes and tube sheets of nuclear power plant steam generators require regular inspection. When overhauling the heat transfer tubes and tube sheets of the steam generator, maintenance equipment or robots need to be installed in one of the water chambers. Current installation methods include manual entry into the water chamber for installation and installation assisted by tools through the manhole.

[0003] To hoist inspection equipment and other devices into the steam generator for inspection, a fulcrum needs to be provided under the steam generator tube sheet. This fulcrum allows the inspection equipment to be mounted on or used to install it to a specific location within the steam generator. As mentioned above, providing a fulcrum under the tube sheet requires first securing the inspection equipment to the tube sheet. Current methods primarily involve manually entering the steam generator to set the fulcrum, or using complex equipment to set the fulcrum from outside the steam generator onto the tube sheet. The former method exposes operators to significant radiation doses, posing a health risk, while the latter is time-consuming and inefficient. Therefore, a device is needed that allows for a simple and quick setup of a fulcrum on the tube sheet for installation and fixation. Summary of the Invention

[0033] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention with unnecessary detail.

[0034] See Figure 1-8 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a quick fixing device for a nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine includes a fixing clamping component 1 and an adaptive positioning component 2. The fixing clamping component 1 includes a fixing base plate 11 and a fixing chuck 13 disposed on the fixing base plate 11 for inserting into a pipe and clamping the pipe wall. The adaptive positioning component 2 includes a base 21 on which the maintenance machine 6 can be installed. The base 21 is disposed on one side of the fixing base plate 11. The quick fixing device for a nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine includes a state in which the fixing base plate 11 is movable relative to the base 21 and a state in which the fixing base plate 11 is fixed relative to the base 21. When in use, the quick-fixing device for the steam generator maintenance machine of the nuclear power plant is installed on the base 21 of the adaptive positioning component 2. In other words, the base 21 is also the base 21 of the maintenance machine. The backlash elimination cylinder 22 drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move into the large cavity 1111 of the positioning chamber through the first cylinder rod 221, clamping the base 21 and moving it to the tube sheet of the steam generator. The fixing clamp 13 of the fixing clamping component 1 is inserted into the tube hole of the tube sheet of the steam generator. The fixing base plate 11 is movable relative to the base 21. The clamping base 21 does not need to move with high precision, and the alignment of the fixed clamp 13 with the pipe hole does not need to be very precise. When inserting into the pipe hole, the fixed clamping component 1 can also adaptively move to the position where the fixed clamp 13 is aligned with the pipe hole, realizing the adaptive positioning function, so that the fixed clamp 13 can be smoothly inserted into the pipe hole; then the fixed clamp 13 clamps the inner wall of the pipe hole; then the device switches to the state where the fixed base plate 11 is fixed relative to the base 21, so that the maintenance machine 6 is fixed to the steam generator, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the steam generator.

[0035] Preferably, the adaptive positioning component 2 includes a backlash-eliminating cylinder 22, a fixed shaft 23, and a positioning sleeve 26. The fixed shaft 23 and the backlash-eliminating cylinder 22 are mounted on the base 21. The backlash-eliminating cylinder 22 includes an axially movable first cylinder rod 221. The first cylinder rod 221 is connected to the positioning sleeve 26 and drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move axially. The fixed base plate 11 is provided with an open positioning cavity, in which the fixed shaft 23 and the positioning sleeve 26 are located.

[0036] The first cylinder rod 221 drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move axially to one end of the positioning cavity. The positioning sleeve 26 is movable in the radial direction relative to the positioning cavity. The nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine quick fixing device is in a state where the fixed base plate 11 is movable relative to the base 21.

[0037] The first cylinder rod 221 drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move axially to one end of the positioning cavity. The positioning sleeve 26 is fixed to the positioning cavity in the radial direction. The nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine quick fixing device is in a fixed state with the fixed base plate 11 relative to the base 21.

[0038] More preferably, the positioning cavity includes a large cavity 1111 and a small cavity 1112 connected together. In the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221, the size of the large cavity 1111 is larger than the size of the small cavity 1112 and the size of the positioning sleeve 26, and the size of the small cavity 1112 matches the size of the positioning sleeve 26.

[0039] A first centering slope 261 is formed on one axial side of the positioning sleeve 26, and a second centering slope 112 corresponding to the first centering slope 261 is formed on the inner side of the small cavity 1112. The first cylinder rod 221 is configured to drive the positioning sleeve 26 to move between the large cavity 1111 and the small cavity 1112 axially.

[0040] With the positioning sleeve 26 located in the large cavity 1111, since the radial dimension of the large cavity 1111 is larger than the radial dimension of the positioning sleeve 26 in the first cylinder rod 221, there is a gap between the positioning sleeve 26 and the inner wall of the large cavity 1111. The fixing base plate 11 can move relative to the base 21 in the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221, thereby fixing the clamping component 1 can move relative to the adaptive component in the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221. The nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine quick fixing device is in a movable state of the fixing base plate 11 relative to the base 21; when the positioning sleeve 26 moves from the large cavity 1111 to the small cavity 1112 and the first With the centering inclined surface 261 in contact with the second centering inclined surface 112, the positioning cavity and the positioning sleeve 26 are aligned. With the positioning sleeve 26 located in the small cavity 1112, since the size of the small cavity 1112 in the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221 matches the size of the positioning sleeve 26 in the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221, the positioning sleeve 26 cooperates with the small cavity 1112, and the fixed base plate 11 is fixed relative to the base 21 in the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221, thereby fixing the clamping component 1 relative to the adaptive component in the radial direction of the first cylinder rod 221. The nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine quick fixing device is in the state where the fixed base plate 11 is fixed relative to the base 21.

[0041] When using the rapid fixing device for the steam generator maintenance machine of this nuclear power plant, the maintenance machine 6 is installed on the base 21 of the adaptive positioning component 2. In other words, the base 21 is also the base of the maintenance machine 6. The clearance-eliminating cylinder 22 drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move into the large cavity 1111 of the positioning chamber through the first cylinder rod 221, clamping the base 21 and moving it to the tube sheet of the steam generator. The fixing clamp 13 of the fixing clamping component 1 is inserted into the tube hole 5 of the tube sheet of the steam generator. Since there is a gap between the positioning sleeve 26 and the inner wall of the large cavity 1111—an adjustment space for three degrees of freedom (translation in the X and Y directions and rotation in the XY plane)—the fixing clamping component 1 can move radially relative to the adaptive positioning component 2 in the first cylinder rod 221. The movement of the clamping base 21 does not need to be too precise, and the alignment of the fixing clamp 13 with the tube hole 5 does not need to be too precise. At the same time, the fixed clamping component 1 can also adaptively move to the position where the fixed clamp 13 is aligned with the pipe hole 5, realizing the adaptive positioning function, so that the fixed clamp 13 can be smoothly inserted into the pipe hole 5; then the fixed clamp 13 clamps the inner wall of the pipe hole 5, and then the gap-eliminating cylinder 22 drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move towards the small cavity 1112 through the first cylinder rod 221. The first centering inclined surface 261 contacts the second centering inclined surface 112, driving the positioning cavity to center with the positioning sleeve 26, thereby driving the base 21 to be positioned relative to the fixed base plate 11; then, the gap-eliminating cylinder 22 drives the positioning sleeve 26 to move into the small cavity 1112 through the first cylinder rod 221. The positioning sleeve 26 cooperates with the small cavity 1112, eliminating the gap that allows the fixed clamping component 1 to move radially relative to the adaptive positioning component 2 in the first cylinder rod 221, realizing the fixation of the fixed clamping component 1 relative to the adaptive positioning component 2.

[0042] This rapid fixing device for the maintenance equipment of the nuclear power plant steam generator can use the inner wall of the bundle tubes inside the nuclear steam generator as a fixing anchor point. By inserting the fixing clamp 13 into the tubes of the steam generator and clamping the tube wall, the entire device can be fixed. Without changing the internal structure of the nuclear steam generator, it can use the structure and parameters of the tube hole 5 of the steam generator tube sheet to achieve a safe, reliable and rapid fixing and disassembly fulcrum for the maintenance equipment on the steam generator tube sheet, so as to complete the installation and fixing of the maintenance equipment and avoid personnel entering the nuclear steam generator and being exposed to nuclear radiation. The device also eliminates the positioning error of the fixing clamp 13 relative to the tube hole 5 during the automatic installation of the equipment through the adaptive positioning component 2, so that the movement operation of the device does not need to be too precise, and the fixing clamp 13 can be smoothly inserted into the tube, realizing the adaptive positioning function.

[0043] Preferably, there are multiple fixing clamps 13, each inserted into a tube, thereby improving the load capacity of the rapid fixing device for the maintenance equipment of the nuclear power plant steam generator and adapting to the fixed installation of heavy-load equipment. The spacing between the fixing clamps 13 corresponds to the spacing between the bundled tubes of the object being used, and the number of fixing clamps 13 is related to the weight of the maintenance equipment they support.

[0044] Preferably, the positioning cavity has openings on both sides of the first cylinder rod 221 in the axial direction, the base 21 is located on one side of one of the openings of the positioning cavity, the fixed shaft 23 extends into the positioning cavity from the other opening, and the clearance-eliminating cylinder 22 and the base 21 are respectively located on both sides of the fixed base plate 11.

[0045] Preferably, the first centering inclined surface 261 is a conical surface with the axis of the first cylinder rod 221 as the axis, and the second centering inclined surface 112 is a conical surface corresponding to the first centering inclined surface 261. Through the contact of the two conical surfaces, the positioning cavity is driven to center with the positioning sleeve 26, thereby driving the base 21 to be positioned relative to the fixed base plate 11.

[0046] Preferably, the adaptive positioning component 2 includes a guide sleeve 24, and the fixed shaft 23 is provided with a guide cavity 231 whose guiding direction is the axial direction of the first cylinder rod 221. The first cylinder rod 221 is connected to the guide sleeve 24, and the guide sleeve 24 is fitted in the guide cavity 231. The guide sleeve 24 is connected to the positioning sleeve 26.

[0047] More preferably, the adaptive positioning component 2 includes a limiting pin 25 radially inserted in the guide sleeve 24 and the positioning sleeve 26. The limiting pin 25 fixes the guide sleeve 24 and the positioning sleeve 26 together. The positioning sleeve 26 is located outside the fixed shaft 23. The fixed shaft 23 is provided with a movable groove 232 extending axially along the first cylinder rod 221 for the limiting pin 25 to move axially. The movable groove 232 penetrates from the outside of the fixed shaft 23 to the guide cavity 231. The limiting pin 25 passes radially through the movable groove 232. The first cylinder rod 221 drives the guide sleeve 24, the limiting pin 25 and the positioning sleeve 26 to move axially.

[0048] Preferably, a thrust bearing 27 is provided on the side of the fixed base plate 11 facing the base 21. The thrust bearing 27 is arranged around the fixed shaft 23, and the shaft ring of the thrust bearing 27 is fixed to the fixed shaft 23 by a snap ring. The seat ring of the thrust bearing 27 is installed in the fixed base plate 11, providing a movable platform and supporting force for the self-adjusting position of the fixing clamping component 1. The base 21 is fixed to the lower end of the fixed shaft 23 by screws.

[0049] Preferably, the fixing clamping component 1 includes a clamping cylinder 12 for driving the fixing chuck 13 to clamp the pipe wall. The clamping cylinder 12 includes a second cylinder rod 121 that can move axially. The fixing chuck 13 includes a cylindrical housing 136, a clamping body 133 that can be opened outward on the housing 136, and a driving member provided in the housing 136 to drive the clamping body 133 to open outward and retract inward. The second cylinder rod 121 is connected to and drives the driving member to move axially, driving the clamping body 133 to open and retract inward. Specifically, the number of clamping bodies 133 can be at least two, circumferentially distributed on the outside of the housing 136.

[0050] More preferably, the drive member has an outer inclined surface 1310 on its outer side, and the clamping body 133 has an inner inclined surface 1330 corresponding to the outer inclined surface 1310 on its inner side. The fixed clamp 13 includes one or at least two rolling elements 134 disposed between the inner inclined surface 1330 and the outer inclined surface 1310. The second cylinder rod 121 drives the drive member to axially push the rolling elements 134, thereby driving the clamping body 133 to open.

[0051] More preferably, the driving component includes a rod 131, a sleeve 132 sleeved outside the rod 131, and a rod head 135 connected to the end of the rod 131. The rod head 135 is located outside one end of the housing 136. The clamping body 133 includes a connecting end 1311 axially close to the rod head 135 and movably connected to the housing 136, and a connecting end 1311 away from the rod head 135. The rod head 135 is sleeved outside the connecting end 1311 of the clamping body 133, so that the rod 131 axially pushes the rod head 135 away from the connecting end 1311 of the clamping body 133 and the sleeve 132 axially pushes the rolling element 134, thereby pushing the clamping body 133 to open, or the rod 131 axially pulls back the rod head 135 to constrain the clamping body 133 to retract and the sleeve 132 pulls back the rolling element 134. Specifically, the process of the clamping cylinder 12 driving the clamping body 133 to open the inner wall of the clamping tube hole 5 is as follows: the clamping cylinder 12 simultaneously pushes the rod body 131 and the sleeve 132 axially through the second cylinder rod 121. The rod body 131 pushes the rod head 135 away from the connecting end 1311 of the clamping body 133, so that the clamping body 133 loses its constraint. The sleeve 132 pushes the rolling body 134, and the rolling body 134 pushes the inner inclined surface 1330 of the clamping body 133, driving the clamping body 133 to open, thereby clamping the inner wall of the tube hole 5 of the tube sheet. The process of clamping cylinder 12 driving clamping body 133 to retract and clamp the inner wall of tube hole 5 is as follows: clamping cylinder 12 pulls back rod body 131 and sleeve 132 axially through second cylinder rod 121. Sleeve 132 pulls back rolling body 134, so that clamping body 133 loses the supporting force of opening. Rod body 131 pulls back rod head 135. Rod head 135 is sleeved on the connecting end 1311 of clamping body 133, constraining clamping body 133 to retract. Clamping body 133 loosens the inner wall of tube hole 5 of tube sheet.

[0052] Preferably, the rapid fixing device for the nuclear power plant steam generator maintenance machine includes a camera 4 for observing the environment and / or a positioning detection component 3 for detecting whether the fixing clamp 13 of the fixing clamping component 1 is inserted into the tube in place. The camera 4 is mounted on the fixing clamping component 1 or the adaptive positioning component 2. The camera 4 collects the position information of the bundle tube in real time and the software analyzes and compares it to determine the relative position of the fixing device with respect to the anchor point of the bundle tube. Then, the software controls the maintenance machine 6 to correct the position of the fixing device, insert the bundle tube, and fix it. The positioning detection component 3 is mounted on the fixing clamping component 1. The positioning detection component 3 is used to detect whether the fixing device is inserted into the fixing anchor point in place and to fix the fixing device on the fixing anchor point, ensuring the reliability of the fixing clamp. More preferably, the positioning detection component 3 includes a sensor support plate 31 mounted on the fixing base plate 11 of the fixing clamping component 1 and a positioning detection sensor 32 mounted on the sensor support plate 31.

[0053] In summary, this rapid fixing device for the maintenance machine of the nuclear power plant steam generator uses the inner wall of the bundle tubes inside the nuclear steam generator as the fixing anchor point. The fixing clamp 13 is inserted into the tubes of the steam generator to clamp the tube wall, thus fixing the entire device. Without altering the internal structure of the nuclear steam generator, it utilizes the structure and parameters of the tube sheet bore 5 to achieve safe, reliable, and rapid fixing and disassembly of the maintenance machine 6 inside the steam generator, preventing personnel from entering the nuclear steam generator and being exposed to nuclear radiation. The device also uses an adaptive positioning component 2 to eliminate positioning errors of the fixing clamp 13 relative to the bore 5 during automatic installation, allowing for less precise movement of the device while still enabling the fixing clamp 13 to be smoothly inserted into the tube, achieving adaptive positioning. The device can also be manually or remotely controlled to align the maintenance machine 6 with the fixing anchor point, and can be quickly fixed and disassembled. In the event of depressurization or malfunction, the maintenance machine 6 can automatically detach from the nuclear steam generator, leaving no foreign objects for the user.
