Abstract
The application belongs to the technical field of uranium hexafluoride container related equipment, and particularly relates to a mounting and replacing device for a uranium hexafluoride container assembly. The device is mounted on a mechanical arm and comprises a mounting fixing frame, a telescopic sleeve and a first driving mechanism. The telescopic sleeve is fixed to the front end of the mounting fixing frame. The first driving mechanism is fixed on the mounting fixing frame and drives the telescopic sleeve to rotate through a connecting rod. The top end of the telescopic sleeve is matched with a valve rod of the uranium hexafluoride container and is used for rotating the valve rod. The device can move in multiple angles along with the movement of the mechanical arm, can adapt to different replacing requirements, and thus can avoid close contact of personnel with radioactive materials and reduce the risk of nuclear pollution affecting the personnel.
