Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear power plant nuclear island maintenance equipment technology, specifically to an automatic beveling device for repairing weld seams of pressurizer bushing through-parts, and more particularly to an automatic beveling device for repairing weld seams of pressurizer bushing through-parts in nuclear power plants. Background Art

[0002] The pressurizer bushing penetration is classified as a Class I nuclear safety, Class I quality, and Class I seismic resistance device. The sealing weld at the connection between the bottom electric heating element bushing and the lower end cap of the pressurizer is most susceptible to PWSCC corrosion and leakage in the primary circuit due to operating at temperatures above 300°C and under residual welding and working stresses. Although third-generation nuclear power plants employ more advanced technologies, the possibility of leakage due to PWSCC corrosion at this sealing weld cannot be ruled out. In the event of such a common fault, repair of the bushing penetration is necessary. One repair process involves cutting and welding. This involves cutting the original sealing weld and then using overlay welding to create a corrosion-resistant nickel-based alloy weld overlay near the original connection. After welding, a bevel is pre-formed on the weld overlay, and the replacement pressurizer bushing is then welded to it to form a new sealing boundary, thus replacing the bushing penetration. This method requires beveling at the weld seam during repair to prepare for subsequent welding, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] Because the lower end cap of the voltage regulator has a spherical structure, its connection with the bushing penetration forms a three-dimensional J-shaped spatial elliptical curve. During the repair of the voltage regulator bushing penetration by welding, a nickel-based alloy weld overlay layer needs to be welded at the original connection, and a bevel needs to be prefabricated. To ensure the smooth progress of subsequent welding, the pipe end needs to be machined into a J-shaped bevel after the weld overlay is completed. The machining trajectory is close to a spatial elliptical curve, which needs to be fitted by a multi-axis linkage method. Since the bottom of the bushing penetration is in a narrow, highly radioactive space, manual operation is difficult; and the bushing components are densely arranged, with a minimum spacing of 110mm between adjacent bushings, resulting in complex interferences, and the bushings must not be damaged during processing; in addition, the weld overlay is composed of a nickel-based alloy weld overlay layer, which has high hardness, requiring high hardness of the cutting tools and stability of the equipment; finally, due to different welding processes, the width of the bevel to be processed varies, requiring the equipment to have an adjustment function in the radial direction.

[0004] These characteristics dictate that the developed automatic beveling device must possess functions such as remote control, long-distance monitoring, automatic J-shaped beveling, automatic fitting of spatial elliptical trajectories, and debris collection. It must also have radial adjustment capabilities to adapt to beveling requirements of different widths. Furthermore, it must operate in confined and complex spaces without interfering with adjacent bushings. Additionally, the device must be lightweight, easy to install and disassemble, quick to use, and highly stable. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a dedicated automatic beveling device to perform beveling of weld seams for the repair of through-hole components of voltage regulator bushings.
