Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spent fuel transportation technology, and more specifically to a transport bracket for spent fuel transport containers. Background Technology
[0002] Spent fuel transportation is a type of dangerous goods transport strictly regulated by relevant national authorities. During transportation, spent fuel must be loaded into specialized transport containers. The transport unit, typically consisting of the loaded spent fuel container and transport pallets, is called a spent fuel package. Due to the high radioactivity and social sensitivity of spent fuel, its transportation requires extremely high safety standards. To ensure the integrity of the transported spent fuel assemblies, spent fuel packages must be able to withstand any acceleration, vibration, or resonance that might occur under conventional transport conditions. Therefore, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issued SSG-25 Advisory Material for the IAEA Transport Regulations (2012 Edition), which sets limits on the horizontal and vertical acceleration of packages during transportation. Specifically, except for air transport, the maximum vertical acceleration is 3g, the horizontal acceleration along the container axis is 5g, and the horizontal acceleration perpendicular to the container axis is 2g.
[0003] Furthermore, the "Technical Requirements for Multimodal Transport Interfaces of Spent Fuel Packages (Provisional)" issued by the state also specifies the structural form of the transport bracket. Both ends of the width direction of the spent fuel package transport bracket have connection holes, through which bolts of specified specifications are passed to connect and fix the spent fuel package transport bracket to the transport vehicle. At the same time, basic parameters for railway transport vehicles are given, and reference values for the external dimensions of spent fuel packages are provided, with very limited dimensions in both the height and width directions.
[0004] Currently, the rated lifting capacity of spent fuel transport container cranes at domestic power plants is generally no more than 140t, and the maximum self-weight of the spent fuel transport container (including components) is approximately 125t. Therefore, to meet the crane's load-bearing capacity, the self-weight of the support frame generally cannot exceed 15t.
[0005] The spent fuel transport container transport platform has three main functions: First, it serves as a tilting support platform for spent fuel transport containers, supporting the lower tilting shaft or tilting U-shaped groove during the tilting process, and cooperating with vertical lifting equipment to complete the tilting of the container from a horizontal to a vertical position. Second, it serves as a horizontal lifting support platform for containers, cooperating with horizontal lifting equipment for horizontal lifting. Third, it serves as a container transport platform, securing the containers during transport, supporting and fixing them to transport vehicles or other means of transportation.
[0006] Spent fuel transport containers are cylindrical structures, typically with two trunnions or U-shaped grooves symmetrically positioned near the top and bottom. Some domestic power plants use transport brackets for spent fuel containers (such as NAC-STC) that employ tethered straps for vertical restraint, which is difficult to control in terms of manufacturing precision and is very inconvenient to install. Axial restraint uses rear-mounted arc-shaped baffles, which are cumbersome to install and prone to collisions and wear during transport. Furthermore, this bracket structure is relatively weak, with limited load-bearing capacity, primarily used for intra-plant transport and unsuitable for the high-acceleration requirements of external transport.
[0007] The design of transport pallets for spent fuel containers used for outbound transportation needs to address the following issues:
[0008] First, it is necessary to fully consider the optimal balance between the size, weight, and load-bearing capacity of the bracket. The design of the bracket must maximize the load-bearing capacity to meet the acceleration requirements of transportation, minimize its own weight for easy lifting, and minimize the external dimensions while ensuring sufficient container loading space (i.e., the internal space must be large enough) for convenient rail and road transportation. These conflicting relationships need to be optimized as much as possible during the design process.
[0009] Second, the ease of loading and unloading transport containers must be met. Because the surface of spent fuel transport containers has a certain degree of radioactivity and a high temperature, the time operators spend near them should be minimized. The structure of the support frame needs to facilitate the lifting, turning, and securing of the containers to prevent operators from being burned by the containers.
[0010] Third, take full account of the transportation process to reduce wear and impact on the container and prevent container damage.
[0011] In view of this, the inventors of this application have designed a transport bracket for spent fuel transport containers in order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology of using tethered straps to constrain the vertical of spent fuel transport containers, which makes it difficult to control the processing accuracy and is very inconvenient to install; the axial constraint uses a rear-mounted arc baffle, which is cumbersome to install and prone to collision and wear of the container during transportation; its structure is relatively weak and its load-bearing capacity is generally weak. It is mainly used for internal transfer in nuclear power plants and is difficult to meet the high acceleration requirements of external transportation. The present invention provides a transport bracket for spent fuel transport containers.
[0013] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0014] This invention provides a transport bracket for spent fuel transport containers, characterized in that the transport bracket includes a bottom frame, at least two tilting axial supports, at least two uprights, lifting lugs, and a protective cover: the bottom frame is used to fix to a transport vehicle and support the overall structure of the transport bracket; at least two tilting axial supports are disposed at one end of the bottom frame; at least two uprights are disposed at the other end of the bottom frame; an arc-shaped support plate is disposed at the other end of the bottom frame, located between two of the uprights; lifting lugs are connected to the tilting axial supports and the upper part of the uprights, used to cooperate with a horizontal lifting device for horizontal lifting of the transport bracket together with the spent fuel transport container; and the protective cover is used to protect the outer surface of the spent fuel transport container.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the column is a box beam structure, the lower part of the column is connected to the bottom frame, and the arc-shaped pillow plate is fitted with a protective sleeve on the contact surface with the spent fuel transport container.
[0021] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the protective sleeve is made of silicone rubber and aramid fiber.
[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lower part of the arc-shaped pillow board is connected to the bottom frame, and a stiffening rib is provided at the connection between the arc-shaped pillow board and the bottom frame.

[0025] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the protective cover frame is composed of longitudinal and transverse ribs and arc-shaped steel bars, and the surface protective mesh is a metal protective mesh.
[0026] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:
[0027] The transport bracket of the present invention for spent fuel transport containers has at least the following advantages:
[0028] I. Compact structure, lightweight, and high load-bearing capacity. The transport bracket is optimized to meet the spatial constraints of various transportation modes and tools such as rail, road, and sea, while ensuring a maximum vertical acceleration of 3g, a horizontal acceleration of 5g along the axis of the spent fuel transport container, and a horizontal acceleration of 2g perpendicular to the axis of the spent fuel transport container. This meets the needs of multimodal transport (road, sea, and rail), improves transportation efficiency, and its lightweight design meets the hoisting requirements of spent fuel transport containers within nuclear power plants.

[0082] To enhance the load-bearing capacity of the tilting axle support 200, diagonal braces 220 and diagonal tie rods 230 are provided on both sides. The diagonal tie rods 230 are positioned to avoid the tilting path of the spent fuel transport container 700. The diagonal brace 220 is a box-beam structure with threaded holes on its upper surface for fixing the protective cover 600. The design dimensions of the diagonal tie rods 230 and diagonal braces 220 have been optimized to avoid stress concentration under load acceleration while meeting the above requirements.

[0085] The protective sleeve effectively prevents wear and tear on the spent fuel transport container 700 during transportation and overturning. The protective sleeve is preferably a rubber sleeve, installed on the contact surface between the bolster and the container, preventing scratches from friction between the bolster and the container during transport.

The tilting shaft-side lifting lug 510 is connected to the upper part of the tilting shaft-side support 200; the lifting shaft-side lifting lug 520 is connected to the upper part of the column 300.
[0091] The tilting shaft-side lifting lug 510 is mainly used in conjunction with the horizontal spreader to horizontally lift the bracket and the spent fuel transport container 700, and to bear the vertical upward acceleration of the spent fuel transport container 700 during transportation. The tilting shaft-side lifting lug 510 needs to be installed after the spent fuel transport container 700 is loaded onto the bracket, and removed before the spent fuel transport container 700 is unloaded from the bracket.
[0092] Preferably, the lower part of the tilting shaft side lifting lug 510 adopts a box beam structure. To facilitate installation and disassembly, four through holes are opened at the bottom of the box beam, corresponding to the through holes at the top of the tilting shaft side support 200 blocks, and are fixed with bolts and nuts. The tilting shaft side lifting lug 510 is connected to the horizontal lifting device through a pin.
[0093] The lifting lug 520 is mainly used in conjunction with the horizontal spreader to lift the bracket and spent fuel transport container 700 horizontally, and to bear the lateral and vertical acceleration of the spent fuel transport container 700 during transportation. The lifting lug 520 needs to be installed after the spent fuel transport container 700 is loaded onto the bracket, and removed before the spent fuel transport container 700 is unloaded from the bracket.
[0094] Preferably, for ease of installation and disassembly, the lifting lug 520 on the lifting shaft side is fixed to the column 300 with bolts and nuts. The lug hole of the lifting lug 520 on the lifting shaft side is connected to the horizontal lifting device via a pin.
