Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nuclear facility decommissioning. Specifically, it relates to an automatic high-strength concrete hole opening device and method for radioactive sites. BACKGROUND
[0002] Most domestic nuclear facilities were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Due to the influence of the conditions and technology at that time, the medium and high-level waste liquid generated in nuclear activities is generally stored in a large volume storage tank and buried underground. It is generally stored in a stainless steel tank in a high-strength (containing steel bars) concrete room with a thickness of about 1600mm. The built radioactive waste liquid temporary storage tank lacks the necessary means for detecting the tank body, which makes it impossible to accurately evaluate the corrosion degree of the tank and poses a leakage risk. The tank design reserves fewer holes and is deeply buried underground, which cannot meet the placement needs of detection and decommissioning tools. Therefore, an automatic hole opening device for high-strength concrete in radioactive sites is needed to place detection and decommissioning tools underground to carry out subsequent decommissioning and detection work. SUMMARY
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide an automatic high-strength (containing steel bars) concrete hole opening device and method for radioactive sites, which can place detection and decommissioning tools for radioactive waste liquid storage tanks underground, and subsequently carry out detection and decommissioning work on radioactive waste liquid storage tanks, thereby speeding up the decommissioning process of nuclear facilities.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 An automatic high-strength concrete hole opening device for radioactive sites includes a device base, a device column 6, a hole opening motor 19, a device main shaft 17, a tool magazine 15, and a control system.
[0044] The base is mainly used for installing the high-strength (containing steel bars) concrete hole opening device for radioactive sites on the ground, and determining the approximate position of the concrete hole opening. It includes a base body 22, a reference surface 16, electromagnets 10, adjusting feet 21, lifting eye screws 3, a coarse guide device 20, and positioning pins 12. The upper surface of the base body 22 is the reference surface 16. Six adjusting feet 21 are arranged below the base body 22 to adjust the levelness of the upper surface of the base, ensuring the levelness of the base and the perpendicularity of the pre-hole. Four electromagnets 10 are arranged on both sides of the base body 22. The electromagnets 10 are used to fix the concrete hole opening device after being electrified. The coarse guide device 20 and the positioning pins 12 are both used for positioning the hole opening device on the base body. First, the coarse guide device 20 is used for positioning within a certain range. As the hole opening device gradually descends, it slides into the three positioning pins 12.
[0045] The device column 6 is used to support the main shaft 17 of the concrete hole opening device and the auxiliary support 7 of the main shaft. It includes lifting eye screws 3, a column lifting motor 1, a speed reducer 2, a cylindrical slide rail 4, and a T-shaped lead screw 5. Two lifting eye screws 3 are arranged directly above the device column 6 to facilitate the hoisting of the device column 6. The column lifting motor 1 is arranged on the upper part of the device column 6. The lower part of the column lifting motor 1 is connected to the speed reducer 2, which is connected to the T-shaped lead screw 5. The cylindrical slide rail 4 is arranged on the bracket of the device column 6 to ensure the hole opening accuracy and drive the device main shaft 17 to ascend and descend.
[0046] The opening motor 19 is installed above the device spindle 17 to provide the feeding force for the opening action of the concrete opening device. The upper end and lower end of the device spindle 17 are provided with a spindle support sleeve 18 and a spindle auxiliary support 7, respectively. The device spindle 17 is fixed by the spindle support sleeve 18, and the spindle auxiliary support 7 is used to assist the support of the device spindle 17 at the initial opening stage to prevent the device spindle 17 from swinging due to its excessive length.
[0047] Since the object to be opened is high-strength (containing steel bars) concrete, the opening depth needs to reach 1600mm, and the cut concrete block cannot fall to avoid injuring the radioactive waste liquid tank. Therefore, the concrete opening device needs to use different cutters to complete. The tool magazine 15 is mainly used for replacing the cutter 14 of the concrete opening device, which has different types of cutters. The tool magazine 15 includes a tool magazine moving motor 13, a cutter 14, a rotary support 11, and a cylindrical guide rail 8. The tool magazine 15 is installed on the device base, and the automatic cutter replacement is realized by using the tool magazine moving motor 13 and the rotary support 11.
[0048] The method for opening (opening a hole with a depth of 1600mm) high-strength (containing steel bars) concrete in a radioactive site includes the following steps:
[0049] a: After installing the high-strength concrete opening device on the device base, determine the approximate range of the opening position;
[0050] b: The device spindle 17 and the tool magazine 15 move to the cutter replacement position to replace the cutter 14 for the first time;
[0051] c: The tool magazine 15 retreats to the original position;
[0052] d: Start the opening motor 19, set the first opening depth of the opening device, and after the speed stabilizes, the device spindle 17 starts to descend to start opening the first hole;
[0053] e: After the first opening is completed, the opening motor 19 stops rotating, and the device spindle 17 retreats to the cutter replacement position;
[0054] f: The tool magazine 15 enters the cutter replacement position to replace the cutter 14 for the second time;
[0055] g: Start the opening motor 19, set the second opening depth of the opening device, and after the speed stabilizes, the device spindle 17 starts to descend to start opening the second hole;
[0056] h: After the second opening is completed, the opening motor 19 stops rotating, and the device spindle 17 retreats to the cutter replacement position;
[0057] i: The tool magazine 15 enters the cutter replacement position to replace the cutter 14 for the third time;
[0058] j: start the drilling motor 19, set the third drilling depth, and after the speed is stable, the main shaft 17 starts to descend and the third hole is drilled;
[0059] k: when the cumulative drilling depth reaches 1300mm, the drilling motor 19 stops rotating, and the main shaft 17 retreats to the tool changing position;
[0060] l: the tool magazine 15 enters the tool changing position and the fourth tool changing is performed;
[0061] m: start the drilling motor 19, and after the speed is stable, the main shaft 17 starts to descend and drills a hole in the center of the remaining depth of concrete;
[0062] n: after the drilling is completed, the drilling motor 19 stops rotating, and the main shaft 17 retreats to the tool changing position;
[0063] o: the remaining concrete is hooked by the mechanical structure;
[0064] p: the tool magazine 15 enters the tool changing position and the fifth tool changing is performed;
[0065] q: start the drilling motor 19, and after the speed is stable, the main shaft 17 starts to descend and expands the remaining depth of concrete;
[0066] r: after the expansion is completed, the tool magazine 15 enters the tool changing position, and the main shaft 17 unloads the tool;
[0067] s: the last remaining concrete is removed by the mechanical structure to prevent falling and damaging the radioactive waste liquid tank. All parts retreat to the original position
