[0035] Figure 1 The nuclear power steam generator tube plugging device 10 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown, which is used to plug the heat transfer tube 4, and the heat transfer tube 4 is arranged on the tube sheet 5. It should be noted that the tube sheet 5 is used to fix the heat transfer tube 4, and the heat transfer tube 4 is used for heat exchange.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10 includes a driving device 1, a fluid guiding device 2 and a core shaft 3, the fluid guiding device 2 is connected to the driving device 1, and the core shaft 3 is arranged on the driving device 1.

[0037] It can be understood that the driving device 1 is used to align the ends of the heat transfer tube 4 on the one hand, and to drive the core shaft 3 to move on the other hand. The fluid guiding device 2 is used to guide the fluid to the driving device 1 accordingly, so that the driving device 1 obtains kinetic energy, and then the driving device 1 can drive the core shaft 3 to move in a predetermined direction. The core shaft 3 is used to connect with the plug 6, so that the plug 6 can be driven to move in the heat transfer tube; the core shaft 3 is also used to drive the plug 6 to expand when the plug 6 is withdrawn, and the expanded plug 6 will be against the inner wall surface of the heat transfer tube 4 along the circumferential direction, so as to form a stable and reliable blockage at the abutment position between the plug 6 and the heat transfer tube 4, and complete the pipe plugging work.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the driving device 1 includes a cylinder body 11 and a piston 12, the cylinder body 11 is arranged on the tube plate 5, and the piston 12 is slidably arranged in the piston 12; the fluid guiding device 2 includes a hydraulic guiding component 21 and a gas guiding component 22, and the hydraulic guiding component 21 and the gas guiding component 22 are respectively connected to the cylinder body; one end of the core shaft 3 is connected to the piston 12, and the other end of the core shaft 3 is detachably connected to the pipe plug 6.

[0039] The hydraulic guide assembly 21 is used to guide the liquid into the cylinder 11 to drive the piston 12 to move in the direction away from the tube sheet 5, thereby driving the plug 6 to abut against the tube sheet 5 through the core shaft 3, and making the core shaft 3 withdraw from the plug 6 so that the plug 6 blocks the heat transfer tube 4; the gas guide assembly 22 is used to guide the gas into the cylinder 11 to drive the piston 12 to move in the direction close to the tube sheet 5, so that the core shaft 3 is inserted and connected to the plug 6.

[0040] It can be understood that the cylinder body 11 is fixedly arranged on the tube sheet 5, and a space for accommodating the piston 12 is formed inside the cylinder body 11. The design of the cylinder body 11 ensures that the piston 12 can slide smoothly therein. The piston 12 is slidably arranged in the cylinder body 11, and forms a closed space with the cylinder body 11; the fluid guiding device 2 guides the fluid into different positions of the closed space, which will cause the piston 12 to move in different directions. The movement direction of the piston 12 determines the installation and removal actions of the plug 6.

[0041] The hydraulic guide assembly 21 is used to transport liquid into the cylinder 11, and drives the piston 12 to move away from the tube sheet 5 through the change of liquid pressure. During this process, the piston 12 pushes the plug 6 against the tube sheet 5 through the core shaft 3, and then the core shaft 3 withdraws from the plug 6, so that the plug 6 firmly blocks the heat transfer tube 4.

[0042] The gas guide assembly 22 is used to deliver gas into the cylinder 11, and the pressure change of the gas drives the piston 12 to move toward the tube sheet 5. At this time, the core shaft 3 is inserted and connected with the plug 6, preparing for the subsequent plugging work of the plug 6.

[0043] The core shaft 3 is used to realize the installation and removal of the plug 6 under the drive of the piston 12.

[0044] It should be noted that by driving the piston to move hydraulically, the incompressible liquid can stably support the piston to move, ensuring that the pipe plugging is completed smoothly. By driving the piston to move by gas, the piston can move quickly, so that the core shaft can be quickly connected to the plug, improving the efficiency of pipe plugging.

[0045] It should also be noted that the present invention realizes the automatic installation and disassembly of the plug 6 through the coordinated use of hydraulic and gas guide components, eliminating the tedious manual disassembly and installation of the plug, greatly simplifying the pipe plugging operation process. At the same time, the present invention can quickly complete the installation and disassembly of the plug 6, effectively shortening the time of the pipe plugging operation and improving work efficiency.

[0046] In addition, the plug and the core shaft can be connected and fixed outside the heat transfer tube, and then the nuclear power steam generator tube plugging device 10 can be moved to a position aligned with the heat transfer tube by a moving mechanism or a mechanical arm.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10, the plug 6 includes a plugging tube 61 and an expansion block 62, the plugging tube 61 is provided with a plug hole 63, the diameter of the plug hole 63 gradually increases along the hole depth direction to form a small diameter end 631 and a large diameter end 632, and the expansion block 62 is arranged at the large diameter end 632;

[0048] The core shaft 3 is inserted into the expansion block 62 through the small diameter end 631. When the expansion block 62 is driven by the core shaft 3 and passes through the small diameter end 631, the hole wall of the insertion hole 63 is deformed by the expansion block 62, so that the sealing tube 61 expands and presses against the inner wall surface of the heat transfer tube 4.

[0049] It can be understood that the plugging cylinder 61 is used to plug the heat transfer tube 4, and one end of the plugging cylinder 61 is provided with a plug hole 63 for inserting the core shaft 3. The expansion block 62 is located at the large diameter end 632 of the plugging cylinder 61. After the core shaft 3 is inserted into the expansion block 62, the expansion block 62 will be fixed to the end of the core shaft 3.

[0050] The small diameter end 631 of the jack 63 is the position where the mandrel 3 is inserted into the plugging tube 61. The mandrel can be inserted into the jack 63 through the small diameter end, so that the mandrel can be correspondingly inserted into the plug at the large diameter end. The large diameter end 632 of the jack 63 has a larger aperture, and the expansion block 62 is set here. After the mandrel 3 is inserted into the expansion block 62, the expansion block 62 will be fixed to the end of the mandrel 3.

[0051] In actual operation, the gas guide assembly 22 introduces gas into the cylinder 11, and the piston 12 drives the core shaft 3 to be inserted into the small diameter end 631 and further inserts the expansion block 62 connected to the large diameter end 632. Then, the hydraulic guide assembly 21 introduces liquid into the cylinder 11, so that the piston 12 moves in the reverse direction, and the core shaft 3 drives the plugging cylinder 61 to move in the reverse direction through the expansion block 62 until the plugging cylinder 61 is abutted and limited on the tube sheet 5. As the hydraulic guide assembly 21 further introduces liquid into the cylinder 11, the core shaft 3 will drive the expansion block 62 to continue to move. At this time, since the plugging cylinder 61 is limited on the tube sheet and cannot continue to move, the expansion block 62 will move to the small diameter end 631.

[0052] While the expansion block 62 moves to the small-diameter end 631, the expansion block 62 will support the inner wall of the sealing tube 61, so that the outer contour of the sealing tube 61 gradually becomes larger, and the peripheral outer wall of the sealing tube 61 is supported on the inner wall of the heat transfer tube 4, thereby completing the sealing of the heat transfer tube.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10, the cross-section of the expansion block 62 in the height direction is trapezoidal.

[0054] It can be understood that the cross-section of the expansion block 62 in the height direction is designed to be trapezoidal, which means that the width of the expansion block 62 is narrower at one end and wider at the other end; further, when the expansion block 62 with a trapezoidal cross-section moves along the direction required for pipe plugging, the smaller end of the expansion block 62 will abut against the wall of the hole 63 before the wider end, and with the further movement of the expansion block 62, the deformation and expansion process of the plugging tube 61 will be smoother, thereby avoiding direct damage to the expansion block due to excessive deformation in a short time.

[0055] In some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10 , a connecting thread is provided at the end of the core shaft 3 , and the connecting thread is screwed to the expansion block 62 .

[0056] It can be understood that the connecting thread is screwed to the expansion block 62 to ensure a stable connection between the two. At the same time, the connecting thread can only be unlocked by relative rotation in the circumferential direction, and the mandrel 3 will not be driven to rotate during the pipe blocking process, thus avoiding the mandrel 3 and the expansion block 62 from accidentally disengaging.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10, the hydraulic guide assembly 21 includes a liquid guide pipe 211 and a liquid guide hole 212. The liquid guide hole 212 is arranged on the cylinder body 11. The liquid guide pipe 211 is connected to the liquid guide hole 212. The liquid guide pipe 211 is used to introduce liquid into the liquid guide hole 212. The liquid guide hole 212 is used to introduce liquid into the cylinder body 11.

[0058] It can be understood that the liquid guide pipe 211 is used to introduce liquid from the outside into the liquid guide hole 212, and the liquid guide hole 212 is opened on the cylinder body 11, so that the liquid can be further introduced into the cylinder body 11 through the liquid guide hole 212. It should be noted that the liquid can be supplied by an external liquid pump, and the liquid pump pumps the liquid into the liquid guide pipe 211. In this way, the operator can control the liquid pump at a remote end, eliminating the need to manually enter the nuclear power heat exchanger, thereby improving the safety factor of nuclear power pipe blockage.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10, the gas guide assembly 22 includes an air hole 221 and an air pipe 222. The air hole 221 is arranged on the cylinder body 11, and the air pipe 222 is connected to the air hole 221. The air pipe 222 is used to introduce gas into the air hole 221, and the air hole 221 is used to introduce gas into the cylinder body 11.

[0060] It can be understood that the air hole 221 is opened on the cylinder body 11 for introducing the gas into the cylinder body 11. The air pipe 222 is used to introduce the gas from the outside into the air hole 221 and finally into the cylinder body 11.

[0061] It should be noted that the gas can be pumped into the air pipe 222 by an air pump, or the air pipe 222 can be directly connected to the air source in the factory. The operator can also remotely control the air path to ensure the safety factor of pipe blocking.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10, an active chamber 18 is opened in the cylinder body 11, and at least one sealing ring 13 is arranged on the piston 12. The sealing ring 13 is sealed against the inner wall surface of the active chamber 18, and the piston 12 is slidably arranged in the active chamber 18. The hydraulic guide assembly 21 and the gas guide assembly 22 are respectively connected to the active chamber 18, and the core shaft 3 passes through the active chamber 18 to the outside of the cylinder body 11.

[0063] It can be understood that the active cavity 18 is used to provide the required space for the piston 12 to slide, and also allows liquid and gas to be introduced therein, so that the piston can slide along the active cavity 18 through the action of liquid or gas on the piston. The sealing ring 13 is used to seal against the inner wall surface of the active cavity 18 to ensure that the piston 12 does not leak hydraulic pressure or gas when sliding in the active cavity 18; specifically, the sealing ring allows the gas and liquid to be always confined to the corresponding side surface of the piston 12.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe blocking device 10, a avoidance hole 17 is further opened on the cylinder body 11, and the aperture of the avoidance hole 17 is adapted to the core shaft 3, and the aperture of the avoidance hole 17 is smaller than the inner diameter of the heat transfer tube 4.

[0065] It can be understood that the diameter of the avoidance hole 17 is adapted to the core shaft 3, ensuring that the core shaft 3 can smoothly pass through the avoidance hole 17. The diameter of the avoidance hole 17 is smaller than the inner diameter of the heat transfer tube 4, ensuring that the core shaft 3 can pass through the avoidance hole 17 without contacting the inner wall of the heat transfer tube 4.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe plugging device 10, the driving device 1 also includes a rotary driving member 14, which is drivingly connected to the piston 12, and the rotary driving member 14 is used to drive the piston 12 to rotate, thereby driving the core shaft 3 to rotate.

[0067] It can be understood that the rotary drive member 14 rotates with the driving piston 12. In this way, if the end of the core shaft 3 is configured as a thread, the rotating piston 12 will drive the core shaft 3 to rotate, so that the thread on the core shaft can be correspondingly screwed to the plug 6.

[0068] Specifically, the plug 6 may not be provided with an internal thread, and the plug and the end of the mandrel may also be screwed together. The plug 6 may also be provided with an internal thread, which is screwed together with the external thread of the mandrel 3.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe blocking equipment 10, the driving device 1 also includes a rotary connecting member 15, one end of the rotary connecting member 15 is inserted into the cylinder body 11 and connected to the piston 12, and the other end of the rotary connecting member 15 is exposed outside the cylinder body 11, and the rotary driving member 14 is drivingly connected to the rotary connecting member 15.

[0070] It can be understood that the rotary connection member 15 plays a role in transmitting torque, and the rotary driving member 14 drives the piston 12 to rotate through the rotary connection member 15 .

[0071] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in some embodiments of the nuclear power steam generator pipe blocking device, the driving device 1 further includes a movable connection assembly 16, and the movable connection assembly 16 includes a first connection plate 161, a second connection plate 162, a support seat 163 and an elastic member 164;

[0072] The first connection disk 161 is connected to the piston 12 and exposed outside the cylinder body 11. The first connection disk 161 is provided with a plurality of first matching protrusions 1611 along the circumferential direction. The rotary driving member 14 is drivingly connected to the support seat 163. The second connection disk 162 is slidingly provided on the support seat 163. The second connection disk 162 is provided with a plurality of second matching protrusions 1621 along the circumferential direction. The elastic member 164 is provided on the support seat 163, and the elastic member 164 is drivingly connected to the second connection disk 162. The elastic member 164 provides a force to drive the second connection disk 162 to move in a direction away from the support seat 163.

[0073] Among them, when the second connecting disk 162 corresponds to the first connecting disk 161, each second matching protrusion 1621 is clamped with each first matching protrusion 1611, so that the rotary driving member 14 can drive the second connecting disk 162 to rotate through the support seat 163, and support the first matching protrusion 1611 through the second matching protrusion 1621 to drive the first connecting disk 161 to rotate, and then the first connecting disk 161 drives the piston 12 to rotate.

[0074] It can be understood that when it is necessary to drive the core shaft 3 to rotate, the moving mechanism or mechanical arm in the prior art can be used to drive the rotary drive member to move in the direction close to the cylinder body 11, so that the second connecting disk 162 is correspondingly abutted against the first connecting disk 161. When the support seat 163 drives the second connecting disk 162 to rotate the moving angle, the second connecting disk 162 will always have a tendency to move toward the first connecting disk 161 driven by the elastic member 164, so that the second connecting disk 162 rotated into place will automatically align and abut against the first connecting disk 161, so that each second mating protrusion 1621 is clamped with each first mating protrusion 1611, and then the first connecting disk 161 and the second connecting disk 162 are locked in the rotation direction, so that the second connecting disk 162 can drive the first connecting disk 161 to rotate when rotating in this direction, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the core shaft 3 to rotate.

[0075] It should be noted that the moving mechanism for driving the rotary drive member 14 to move may be a moving mechanism driven by a motor or a moving mechanism driven by a pneumatic element.

[0076] The second connection disk 162 is fixed to the support seat 163 in the circumferential rotation direction, that is, the second connection disk 162 and the support seat 163 cannot rotate relative to each other. Specifically, the second connection disk 162 and the support seat 163 can be slidably connected through a groove rail, a slide rail or a guide rod structure, and the sliding connection mechanism will limit the second connection disk 162 to move only in the direction of approaching or moving away from the support seat 163; thereby, the support seat 163 can drive the second connection disk 162 to rotate and smoothly transmit torque.

[0077] Specifically, the elastic member 164 includes a tension spring or a disc spring.

[0078] Furthermore, a positioning column is provided at the center of the first connection disk 161 , and a positioning hole is opened at the center of the second connection disk 162 . The positioning column can be detachably inserted into the positioning hole.

[0079] It can be understood that during the alignment of the second connecting disk 162 and the first connecting disk 161, the positioning column will be inserted into the positioning hole accordingly, thereby ensuring that the second connecting disk 162 and the first connecting disk 161 can be accurately aligned and that the torque can be transmitted through the second connecting disk 162 and the first connecting disk 161.

[0080] The implementation of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0081] The invention relates to a nuclear power steam generator pipe blocking device, which greatly simplifies the pipe blocking operation process and reduces the work intensity of operators through the arrangement of a driving device and a fluid guiding device.
