[0033] It should be noted that the terms "one" and "more" used in this invention are illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a heating device for welding bolt holes in a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, including a first electromagnetic induction heating device 100, a second electromagnetic induction heating device 200, and a supporting beam 300; both ends of the supporting beam 300 are slidably connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200, respectively; the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 are configured to jointly heat the bolt hole 150 located between them; the curvature of the end face of the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 facing the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 is configured to match the curvature of the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140; the curvature of the end face of the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 facing the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 is configured to match the curvature of the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.

[0035] Specifically, the support beam 300 is elongated, with its two ends slidably connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200, respectively. This allows for adjustment of the positions of the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 on the support beam 300, adapting to nuclear reactor pressure vessels 140 with different wall thicknesses. This ensures that the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 maintains a suitable distance from the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, and that the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 maintains a suitable distance from the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, thereby facilitating effective heating of both the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200.

[0036] Specifically, after the heating device for welding the bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is installed on the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, its entire structure straddles the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, with the following effect: Figure 4As shown; at this time, the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 is located outside the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 and faces the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140; the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is located inside the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 and faces the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140; the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 are configured to jointly heat the bolt hole 150 located between them, wherein the curvature of the end face of the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 facing the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 is configured to... The curvature of the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is configured to match the curvature of the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140. This ensures uniform heating of the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 during heating by the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100, thereby effectively improving heating efficiency. Similarly, the curvature of the end face of the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 facing the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 is configured to match the curvature of the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140. This also ensures uniform heating of the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 during heating by the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200, thereby effectively improving heating efficiency.

[0037] In summary, the heating device for welding bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel in this embodiment can effectively improve the problem of low thermal efficiency in the bolt holes 150 of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 during heating.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of supporting beams 300 is not limited; it can be one, two, or three, etc., depending on actual needs.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the support beam 300 is elongated, with a first oblong hole 301 extending through both ends of its length direction, and the extension direction of the first oblong hole 301 is parallel to the length direction of the support beam 300; the top of the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 are both provided with a first mating part 120, and the first mating part 120 is provided with a first connecting hole 900, which is a threaded hole; the first fastener 400 is a bolt, which passes through the first oblong hole 301 and is threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 900, so that the support beam 300 is connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200.

[0041] In this optional embodiment, the design of the first waist-shaped hole 301 on the support beam 300 not only facilitates the passage of the first fastener 400, but also allows the position of the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 on the support beam 300 to be changed by adjusting the relative positional relationship between the first waist-shaped hole 301 and the first fastener 400.

[0042] In other embodiments, the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 can be slidably connected to the support beam 300 by means of a T-shaped slider and a T-shaped groove, and locked by static friction.

[0043] Optionally, the heating device for welding the bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel further includes a first rolling element 500, which is rotatably connected to the support beam 300.

[0044] Specifically, the number of the first rolling element 500 can be one, two, or three, etc., without limitation, depending on actual needs. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the first rolling element 500 is a roller, and there are two of them. The two first rolling elements 500 are rotatably mounted on the lower end face of the support beam 300.

[0045] In this optional embodiment, after the heating device for welding the bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is installed, the first rolling element 500 can roll into contact with the end face of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 where the bolt holes 150 are opened. For example, when the bolt holes 150 are opened on the upper end face of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, the support beam 300 can be supported on the upper end face of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 by the first rolling element 500. Since the first rolling element 500 can roll into contact with the end face of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 where the bolt holes 150 are opened, the friction between the two can be effectively reduced, which facilitates the subsequent movement of the heating device for welding the bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel on the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.

[0046] Optionally, the heating device for welding bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel further includes a second rolling element 600; both the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 are rotatably connected to the second rolling element 600; the second rolling element 600 on the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 is configured to roll in contact with the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140; the second rolling element 600 on the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is configured to roll in contact with the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.

At the same time, in conjunction with the first rolling element 500 on the support beam 300, the reliable movement of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel bolt hole welding heating device can be achieved.

[0048] Optionally, the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 is connected to the second rolling element 600 at opposite ends; and / or, the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is connected to the second rolling element 600 at opposite ends.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 are generally arc-shaped plate structures; second rolling elements 600 are respectively provided on both sides along the circumferential direction. In this way, when the heating device for welding the bolt holes of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is moved on the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, the second rolling elements 600 on the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 can move stably.

[0050] In other embodiments, second rolling elements 600 may also be provided at the upper and lower ends of the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200.

[0051] Optionally, the second rolling element 600 on the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 is configured to slide relative to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 to adjust the distance between the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.

[0052] And / or, the second rolling element 600 on the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is configured to slide relative to the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 to adjust the distance between the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 and the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.

[0053] In this optional embodiment, the second rolling element 600 on the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 is slidably connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and can move toward or away from the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140 to adjust the distance between the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140. The second rolling element 600 on the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is slidably connected to the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 and can move toward or away from the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140, thereby adjusting the distance between the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 and the inner wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.

[0054] Optionally, the nuclear reactor pressure vessel bolt hole welding heating device further includes a first bracket 700 and a second fastener 800; one end of the first bracket 700 is provided with a through second oblong hole 701; the first bracket 700 is rotatably connected to the second rolling element 600; the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 is provided with a second connecting hole 110; the second fastener 800 passes through the second oblong hole 701 and connects to the second connecting hole 110, so that the first bracket 700 is connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200.

[0055] Specifically, the first bracket 700 is L-shaped, with a through second oblong hole 701 in its longer section and a second rolling element 600 rotatably connected to its shorter section; both the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 have a second mating part 130 on their circumferential side ends, and the first mating part 120 has a second connecting hole 110, which is a threaded hole; the second fastener 800 is a bolt, which passes through the second oblong hole 701 and is threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 110, so that the first bracket 700 is connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200.

[0056] In this optional embodiment, the design of the waist-shaped hole on the first bracket 700 not only facilitates the passage of the second fastener 800, but also allows the position of the first bracket 700 on the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 to be changed by adjusting the relative position of the second waist-shaped hole 701 and the second fastener 800, thereby causing a change in the position of the second rolling element 600, and ultimately achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 and the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200.

[0057] In other embodiments, the first bracket 700 can be slidably connected to the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 or the second electromagnetic induction heating device 200 by means of a T-shaped slider and a T-shaped groove, and locked by static friction.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first electromagnetic induction heating device 100 heats the outer wall of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel 140.
