Abstract
This invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power plant reactor pressure vessel maintenance, specifically relating to a device and method for disassembling and assembling the main nut of a reactor pressure vessel. The device includes: a support sleeve, a locking ring, inserts, and lifting hooks. Several lifting hooks are evenly connected along the lower outer periphery of the support sleeve, and these hooks can open and close relative to the support sleeve. The bottom of each lifting hook has an inwardly facing protrusion for hooking the main nut or a main nut washer. Several inserts are evenly connected to the bottom of the support sleeve, the shape of which matches the U-shaped groove on the main nut, for applying torque to the main nut during rotation. The locking ring is sleeved around the outer periphery of the lifting hooks for fixing them. This invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate, effectively improving work efficiency while ensuring that the lifting hooks will not open or close accidentally during operation, greatly reducing operational risks.
