Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and in particular relates to a position inspection device and method for a baffle assembly. Background Art
[0002] The choke assembly does not directly control the reactivity of the reactor, but it is necessary to place the choke assembly in the guide tube where the control rods, burnable poison rods and neutron source are inserted into the fuel assembly to increase the coolant water flow resistance, limit the bypass flow in the guide tube and balance the flow of the fuel assembly. Figure 1 As shown, the choke plug assembly is usually composed of a connecting plate component and 24 choke plug rods made of stainless steel. After the choke plug rods are assembled, the position of the rods needs to be checked. Since the control rods, combustible poison rods and guide tubes are all narrow and long tubular objects, conventional inspection tools such as calipers and height gauges are not convenient for inspection. The related technology uses a three-coordinate measuring instrument to establish a measurement benchmark to measure the position of the 24 choke plug rods of the choke plug assembly, but the measurement is cumbersome and takes a long time. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the choke plug assembly position measurement has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
