[0002] In the field of nuclear facility decommissioning technology, there is a great demand for cutting large cylindrical components such as pressure vessels, steam generators and pressurizers. These cylindrical components are usually large in size and have high radiation levels. In the existing technology, vertical cutting and horizontal cutting are generally used when dismantling similar components. Vertical cutting occupies a small horizontal space, a large vertical space, and occupies a small site; horizontal cutting occupies a large horizontal space, a small vertical space, and occupies more ground space. Therefore, vertical cutting should be selected when the site is limited.

[0003] The clamping and fixation of components is a necessary prerequisite for completing the cutting and dismantling tasks. The above-mentioned cylindrical components are not only large in size, but also irregular in shape. There are even many connecting pipelines on the outer wall, which affects the clamping stability during the cutting process. In addition, this type of large cylindrical component is often cut into multiple sections of circular ring-shaped components during cutting, and then further processed. At present, the transportation of cut parts generally requires the cooperation of a crane, which has problems such as laborious clamping, poor reliability, close-range operation, and long on-site operation time for personnel. In addition, metal chips often splash and scatter during the dismantling process, making collection and cleaning more difficult.
