Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of maintaining various threaded holes in a valve body, and in particular to a threaded hole maintenance and detection robot and a working method suitable for valve bodies with multiple specifications. Background Art

[0002] The structure of the valve body 1 used in a high-dose valve in a nuclear island is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, the center of the valve body 1 is provided with a center hole 2 arranged along its axial direction, and a plurality of threaded holes 3 are provided on the top surface of the valve body 1 at intervals around the center hole 2 in the circumferential direction, and the threaded holes 3 do not penetrate the bottom surface of the valve body 1. After such a valve body 1 has been used for a long time, a large amount of burrs and dirt are attached to the inner walls of each threaded hole 3 of the valve body 1. These burrs and dirt in the threaded holes 3 affect the normal use of the valve body 1. In order to enable the valve body 1 to be used normally, the worker maintains each threaded hole 3 of the valve body 1 in the following way:

[0003] S1. The worker first inserts the grinding head of the grinder into the threaded hole 3 and starts the grinder. The grinding head of the grinder grinds off the burrs in the first threaded hole 3. By repeating the above operation, the burrs in each threaded hole 3 on the valve body 1 can be grinded off; S2. After the burrs in each threaded hole 3 are ground off, the worker inserts the cleaning head of the cleaning machine into the first threaded hole 3, and then starts the cleaning machine. The cleaning liquid sprayed from the cleaning head flushes away the dirt attached to the threaded hole 3. By repeating the above operation, the dirt in each threaded hole 3 can be cleaned off, thereby achieving the purpose of maintaining the threaded hole 3 and ensuring that the valve body 1 can be used normally.

[0004] However, although this method can maintain the valve body 1, it still has the following technical defects:

[0005] I. Manual operation of a grinder and a cleaning machine is required to maintain the threaded holes 3 of the valve body 1. The entire operation is completed manually, which undoubtedly increases the work intensity of the workers. In addition, there are many threaded holes 3 on the valve body 1, which requires a long time to maintain all the threaded holes 3, thereby reducing the maintenance efficiency of the threaded holes 3.

[0006] II. After the valve body 1 is maintained, it is impossible to detect whether there are any residual burrs and dirt that have not been removed in the valve body 1.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a threaded hole maintenance and detection robot and working method that can greatly reduce the workload of workers, greatly improve the efficiency of threaded hole maintenance, and detect threaded holes, which is suitable for valve bodies of multiple specifications.
