[0042] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0043] In view of this, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a device for polishing the oxide film of nuclear fuel cladding tubes after irradiation is provided, comprising a base plate 1, a rotating mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a moving mechanism 4, a polishing mechanism 5 and a control system.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, one end of the lifting mechanism 3 is arranged on the base plate 1, and the other end is connected to the rotating mechanism 2, which is used to control the rotation mechanism 2 to move in the vertical direction; the rotating mechanism 2 is used to clamp the cladding tube 10 to be polished and drive the cladding tube 10 to rotate in the horizontal direction; the moving mechanism 4 is provided with the polishing mechanism 5, which is used to control the polishing mechanism 5 to horizontally approach or move away from the rotating mechanism 2 in the length direction of the cladding tube 10; the polishing mechanism 5 is used to polish the outer surface, inner surface and end of the tube mouth of the cladding tube 10; the control system is used to automatically control the process of polishing the oxide film of the cladding tube.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a shell 21 and a clamping structure 22; the shell 21 is fixed on the lifting mechanism 3; the clamping structure 22 is rotatably arranged in the shell 21, for clamping the cladding tube 10 and driving the cladding tube 10 to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0046] Specifically, the clamping structure 22 is an elastic clamping device, and the contact surface between the clamping structure 22 and the cladding tube 10 is made of elastic material to avoid damage to the outer wall of the cladding tube 10 in the clamping state. The clamping structure 22 can rotate horizontally in the housing 21, thereby driving the cladding tube 10 clamped by the clamping structure 22 to rotate.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the elastic clamping device is a tubular clamp, and a cylinder is used as a power to control the clamping or loosening of the tubular clamp. When the cylinder pushes the tubular clamp to move, the elastic material is squeezed and deformed, thereby clamping the cladding tube 10.

[0048] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the grinding mechanism 5 includes an external grinding component 51, an internal grinding component 52 and a support member 53; the external grinding component 51 is used to grind the outer surface and the end of the tube mouth of the cladding tube 10, and the internal grinding component 52 is used to grind the inner surface of the tube mouth of the cladding tube 10; one end of the support member 53 is arranged on the base 41 of the moving mechanism 4; the external grinding component 51 and the internal grinding component 52 are arranged in a vertical direction on the end of the support member 53 away from the base 41, and are both parallel to the length direction of the cladding tube 10.

[0049] Furthermore, the external grinding assembly 51 includes an external grinder 511 and an external grinding head 512 arranged at one end of the external grinder 511 close to the rotating mechanism 2; the internal grinding assembly 52 includes an internal grinder 521 and an internal grinding head 522 arranged at one end of the internal grinder 521 close to the rotating mechanism 2.

[0050] Specifically, the outer grinding assembly 51 and the inner grinding assembly 52 are one high and one low in the vertical direction, so that the outer surface, inner surface or end of the cladding tube 10 can be polished by adjusting the height of the rotating mechanism 2. The outer grinding head 512 has a large diameter, and its outer peripheral grinding surface is used to fit the outer surface of the cladding tube 10 for grinding, and its end grinding surface is used to fit the end of the cladding tube 10 for grinding; the inner grinding head 522 has a small diameter and can extend into the interior of the cladding tube 10 to grind the inner surface.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the grinding mechanism 5 is driven by an air motor, and the speed of the air motor is above 10000rpm, so that the grinding efficiency is high and the grinding marks are small; the outer grinding head 512 uses a diamond grinding head with a diameter of 20mm to improve the grinding efficiency; the inner grinding head 522 uses a silicon carbide grinding head with a diameter of 8mm to avoid damaging the workpiece surface. For example, when the cladding tube 10 is a zirconium alloy tube, the surface roughness of the inner and outer surfaces after grinding reaches Ra0.8.

[0052] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the device further includes a tensioning cylinder 9 for tensioning the grinding mechanism 5 so that the grinding mechanism 5 can be in close contact with the surface of the cladding tube 10 when grinding the cladding tube 10. Specifically, the tensioning cylinder provides grinding pressure for the outer grinding assembly 51 and the inner grinding assembly 52 during the grinding process so that the outer grinding head 512 and the inner grinding head 522 can be in close contact with the grinding surface to achieve effective grinding.

[0053] Further, in one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device also includes: a first servo motor 61, which is used to drive the pulley 7 to drive the rotating mechanism 2 to rotate; Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the second servo motor 62 is used to drive the ball screw 8 to drive the moving mechanism 4 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0054] Specifically, the constant speed rotation of the first servo motor 61 is transmitted to the clamping structure 22 through the pulley 7, so that the clamping structure 22 rotates in the housing 21, thereby driving the cladding tube 10 to rotate. The moving mechanism 4 is powered by the second servo motor 62, and the ball screw 8 transmits power. The two control the moving mechanism 4 to move forward and backward, thereby driving the grinding mechanism 5 to approach or move away from the rotating mechanism 2, ensuring the accuracy of the movement.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the ball screw 8 is provided with an initial position, an intermediate position and a limit position. When the moving mechanism 4 is located at the initial position, the device is in a waiting state, and the rotating mechanism 2 can move up and down to the desired position; when the moving mechanism 4 is located at the limit position, the outer grinding head 512 or the inner grinding head 522 is polished in accordance with the set polishing width against the outer surface or inner surface of the cladding tube 10; when the moving mechanism 4 is located at the intermediate position, the polishing mechanism 5 is away from the cladding tube 10, so that the rotating mechanism 2 can move up and down. That is, the horizontal movement of the moving mechanism 4 can facilitate the up and down movement of the rotating mechanism 2, control the polishing width, and provide loading and unloading space for the cladding tube 10. For example, when the cladding tube 10 is a zirconium alloy tube, the polishing width of its tube mouth is controlled within 5 mm.

[0056] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the length of the cladding tube 10, the rotation speed of the rotating mechanism 2, the movement speed of the moving mechanism 4, the width of the outer surface of the cladding tube 10 to be polished, the outer polishing time, the width of the inner surface of the cladding tube 10 to be polished, the inner polishing time and the end polishing time are input into the control system to achieve automatic control.

[0057] Specifically, through the control system, the entire operation process can be automated. After installing the cladding tube, set the parameters such as single grinding time and grinding position, start the program with one button, and automatically complete the entire grinding process. In a specific embodiment, since the components in the radioactive environment must be reliable and maintainable, and easy to operate by the manipulator, an assembly production situation camera is equipped to achieve visual operation. All operating surfaces can be observed on the observation window, so that operators can operate and observe production outside the radioactive environment.

[0058] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, in order to collect and store the dust generated during the grinding process, a dust box 11 is provided on the outer shell 21, and the dust box 11 is located below the cladding tube 10 being grinded, which is not only convenient for collecting grinding debris, but also convenient for dumping and grabbing with a robot.

[0059] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a method for polishing an oxide film of a nuclear fuel cladding tube after irradiation is provided. The method polishes the oxide film of the cladding tube by using a device as described in any of the above technical solutions, comprising the following steps:

[0060] Insert the cladding tube 10 to be polished into the rotating mechanism 2 and clamp it;

[0061] Use the control system to operate: control the lifting mechanism 3 to raise the rotating mechanism 2 to a position suitable for the grinding mechanism 5; control the rotating mechanism 3 to drive the cladding tube 10 to rotate in the horizontal direction; control the moving mechanism 4 to move the grinding mechanism 5 to grind the outer surface, inner surface and end of the tube mouth of the cladding tube 10.

[0062] Further, in one embodiment, the step of controlling the lifting mechanism 3 to raise the rotating mechanism 2 to a position suitable for the grinding mechanism 5 and controlling the moving mechanism 4 to move the grinding mechanism 5 to grind the outer surface, inner surface and end of the tube mouth of the cladding tube 10 includes:

[0063] Control the lifting mechanism 3 to move the rotating mechanism 2 to the first position, and control the moving mechanism 4 to move from the initial position toward the direction close to the rotating mechanism 2, so that the outer peripheral grinding surface of the outer grinding head 512 is in contact with the outer surface of the cladding tube 10 for grinding;

[0064] Control the moving mechanism 4 to move to an intermediate position in a direction away from the rotating mechanism 2;

[0065] Control the lifting mechanism 3 to move the rotating mechanism 2 to the second position, and control the moving mechanism 4 to move toward the rotating mechanism 2, so that the outer peripheral grinding surface of the inner grinding head 522 is in contact with the inner surface of the cladding tube 10 for grinding;

[0066] Control the moving mechanism 4 to move to an intermediate position in a direction away from the rotating mechanism 2;

[0067] Control the lifting mechanism 3 to move the rotating mechanism 2 to the third position, and control the moving mechanism 4 to move in a direction close to the rotating mechanism 2, so that the end grinding surface of the outer grinding head 512 is in contact with the end of the cladding tube 10 for grinding;

[0068] The moving mechanism 4 is controlled to move to the initial position in a direction away from the rotating mechanism 2, and the grinding is finished.

[0069] Specifically, the first position is a position where the outer grinding head 512 can grind the outer surface of the cladding tube 10. At this position, the moving mechanism 4 drives the outer grinding head 512 to approach and fit the outer surface of the cladding tube 10 according to the set outer surface grinding width; then grinds according to the set outer grinding time; after the grinding time is over, the moving mechanism 4 moves to the middle position and drives the outer grinding head 512 to leave the cladding tube 10. The second position is a position where the inner grinding head 522 can grind the inner surface of the cladding tube 10. At this position, the moving mechanism 4 drives the inner grinding head 522 to approach and fit the inner surface of the cladding tube 10 according to the set inner surface grinding width; then grinds according to the set inner grinding time; after the grinding time is over, the moving mechanism 4 moves to the middle position and drives the inner grinding head 522 to leave the cladding tube 10. The third position is a position where the external grinding head 512 can grind the end of the cladding tube 10. At this position, the moving mechanism 4 drives the external grinding head 512 to approach and fit the end of the cladding tube 10; then the grinding is performed according to the set end grinding time; after the grinding time ends, the moving mechanism 4 moves to the initial position and the grinding ends.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, after the end grinding is completed, since burrs may be formed in the tube opening of the cladding tube 10, the inner grinding head 522 is used again to extend into the cladding tube 10 for finishing grinding.

[0071] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the operation of using the control system includes: inputting the tube length of the cladding tube 10, the rotation speed of the rotating mechanism 2, the movement speed of the moving mechanism 4, the width of the outer surface of the cladding tube 10 to be polished, the external polishing time, the width of the inner surface of the cladding tube 10 to be polished, the internal polishing time and the end polishing time into the control system.
