Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of testing technology, and in particular relates to a test simulation body for a reactor protection system. Background Art

[0002] The reactor protection system is an important system to ensure the stable operation of the reactor. At present, domestic and foreign manufacturers have developed various special test tools for the reactor protection system to test various functions of the reactor protection system, such as response time test, accuracy test, etc. After the development of these special tools, they need to be tested on the reactor protection system to verify that the performance indicators of the tools meet the design requirements. However, there are several problems in the verification of special tools on the reactor protection system: the time window is insufficient. Especially in the nuclear power plants in service, the time window for verification is only during the overhaul of the unit. The time is short and it is impossible to fully verify the various parameters. When unexpected situations occur, design modifications are required. When the modifications are completed, the time window may have been missed. There is a risk of damaging the equipment of the reactor protection system. When verifying the special test tools, the special test tools and the reactor protection system need to be hard-wired and transmit signals to each other. Therefore, there is a risk of damaging the equipment of the reactor protection system due to problems in the design of the special test tools themselves. At present, no simulation body that can be used to test the special test tools for the reactor protection system has been found. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a reactor protection system test simulation body, which overcomes the defect that the existing reactor protection system special test tools cannot fully perform test verification on the reactor protection system. The reactor protection system special test tool can simulate the reactor protection system signal conversion channel, shutdown test channel, and dedicated safety facility drive channel.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A reactor stack protection system test simulation body comprises an input signal interface, a signal processing module, a threshold comparison module, a delay output module, a relay module, and an output signal B interface which are connected in sequence, wherein the output signal A interface is arranged between the signal processing module and the threshold comparison module.

[0006] The input signal interface is connected to a special test tool to input analog signals and switch signals. The analog signals include current signals, voltage signals, and resistance signals, and the switch signals include normally open and normally closed signals.

[0007] The signal processing module processes and converts the received signal as required.

[0008] Conversion types include: current signal conversion to voltage signal; voltage signal conversion to current signal; resistance signal conversion to current / voltage signal.

[0009] The signal processing module outputs a voltage signal to the threshold comparison module, which is compared with the reference voltage. When performing a high-set value test, if the voltage value is higher than the reference voltage, the relay of the corresponding channel is energized and the LED light of the corresponding channel is turned on. When performing a low-set value test, if the voltage value is lower than the reference voltage, the relay of the corresponding channel is energized and the LED light of the corresponding channel is turned on.

[0010] The delay output module includes an input relay and an output relay. The input relay is connected to the output relay of the threshold comparison module. When the output relay of the threshold comparison module is closed, the output relay of the delay output module is closed after the delay.

[0011] The delay time is adjustable from 0.01 seconds to 9990 minutes.

[0012] The delay output module has 31 working modes, as follows:

[0021] 9: Give the signal, and the relay will be closed after delaying for time A;

[0022] 10: When a continuous signal is given, the relay is energized after a time of A. When the signal disappears, the relay is disconnected. When the signal disappears for a time of A, the relay is energized. When there is a signal, the relay is disconnected.

[0023] 11: When a continuous signal is given and the time exceeds A, the relay is energized; when the signal disappears for more than A time, the relay is disconnected;

[0024] 12: Give a continuous signal, and after exceeding time A, the relay is energized; give a continuous signal again, and after exceeding time A, the relay is disconnected;

[0025] 13: When a signal is given, the relay closes for A seconds and then disconnects; when the signal disappears, the relay closes again for A seconds and then stops;

[0026] 14: If there is a pulse signal, the relay is disconnected; if there is no pulse signal, the relay is closed after a delay of A time;

[0029] 17: When there is a continuous signal, the relay is closed for time A and disconnected for time B, in an infinite loop; when the signal disappears, the loop is terminated;

[0030] 18: Give a signal once, the relay will close for time A and disconnect for time B, and the cycle will continue indefinitely; give a signal again to terminate the cycle;

[0031] 19: After power-on, the relay is closed after a delay of time A, and disconnected after a delay of time B;

[0032] 20: Give a signal once, after a delay of A time, the relay is energized, and then disconnected after a delay of B time;

[0033] 21: When a continuous signal is given, the relay is energized after exceeding time A, and disconnected after energizing time B; when the signal disappears, the timing is reset and the relay is disconnected;

[0034] 22: When there is a signal, the relay will automatically disconnect after closing for A time, and then count for B time after disconnection. The signal trigger is invalid during the A+B time;

[0035] 23: When there is a signal, the relay will automatically disconnect after it is energized for A time, and then it will count for B time after it is disconnected, and then it will automatically disconnect after it is energized for A time again;

[0091] System initialization ensures that the simulation body is configured according to the test requirements. Input test signal: The dedicated test device inputs the signal to the simulation body. Signal conversion: According to the test requirements, the signal conversion module converts the input signal into the required signal. Threshold comparison: The converted signal is compared with the threshold. If a high value comparison is performed, when the input signal is higher than the threshold, the threshold comparison module contact is energized; if a low value comparison is performed, when the input signal is lower than the threshold, the threshold comparison module contact is energized; Delay output: The delay module receives the output signal of the threshold comparison module.
