It must be able to withstand the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes and cyclones, as well as unexpected situations such as impacts from internal or external debris, and withstand the pressure of designed accidents. Even if a serious nuclear accident including core melt occurs, the reactor can rely on the solid containment to effectively prevent the leakage of radioactive materials and avoid impacts on the environment and the public. The containment of nuclear power plants such as the third-generation nuclear power Hualong One adopts a double-layer containment design: the outer shell is a reinforced concrete structure, which is a standard cylinder, and the inner shell is a post-tensioned prestressed reinforced concrete structure, with a 6mm thick steel lining attached to the entire inner surface of the containment.

A plurality of baffles are installed on the feeding tray to prevent the movement of excess anchoring nails 16. A gap is provided between the baffle and the bottom of the feeding tray, and the slide groove of the feeding tray is connected to the through groove.

[0044] A welding method of a welding device for welding an anchoring nail 16 comprises the following steps: Step 1: The arc-shaped steel lining workpiece is hoisted onto the fetal membrane fixture, and the workpiece is calibrated and adjusted; Step 2: Weld the nails before the shift, and perform a 45° bending test after welding; Step 3: Import the workpiece 3D model into the equipment offline programming system, set the software parameters according to the size of the workpiece, generate the program and import it into the robot control system; Step 4: Only laser cleaning operation is performed, and laser cleaning is carried out one by one on the welding positions of the first three rows of anchor nails 16; Step 5: Starting from the fourth row to the third row from the bottom, the collaborative working mode is executed, the surface of the fourth row of the area to be welded is cleaned by laser, and the first row of anchor nails 16 is welded by the robot at the same time, and the process is carried out row by row backwards; Step 6: Welding operation only. The last three rows only perform robot welding operations. After all welding is completed, the gantry moves to the negative limit of the ground rail.

[0045] The seventh step is to conduct nail welding and bending tests after class.

[0046] The welding quantity and inspection requirements are the same as those in step 2. If the bending is unqualified after the shift and is detected to be unqualified after repair welding, all anchor nails 16 welded by the welder during the shift shall be bent by 15°~30°, and damage or cracking is not allowed.

[0047] Step 8: Clean the ceramic ring and self-inspect the weld.

[0048] After welding, the ceramic ring is manually broken for self-inspection and cleaning. Workers visually inspect all welds to ensure that there are no defects such as spatter, missing meat around the edges, and pores. The ceramic ring must be cleaned carefully and violent operations must not be performed to damage the weld and the parent material. Defective welds must be marked for QC review and to facilitate quick identification of unqualified welds during repair welding.

[0049] Step 9: Weld position accuracy detection.

[0050] QC personnel use a tape measure to measure the weld position, and test the positioning accuracy of the first row and the first column of each separate area separated by the transverse and longitudinal angle steels, and test the relative position accuracy of other anchor nails 16 in the area with the adjacent anchor nails 16. The positioning accuracy measurement benchmark is the right angle side of the angle steel, and the relative position accuracy measurement benchmark is the center line of the adjacent anchor nails 16. Both the positioning accuracy and the relative position accuracy require that the error between the measured value and the theoretical size of the drawing is ≤±5mm, otherwise it is considered that the accuracy does not meet the standard.

[0051] Step 10: Weld VT detection and repair welding.

[0052] The QC personnel perform VT testing on all welds. If an unqualified weld is detected, the welder is required to re-weld an anchor nail 16 near the unqualified weld and perform VT testing on the re-welded anchor nail 16 again.

[0053] Step 11: Random inspection of weld destructive tests.

[0054] In the present invention, in the step five, the collaborative mode is that the robot automatically picks up the material for welding and the laser cleaning are carried out simultaneously and independently of each other. The robot welds the 16 anchor nails of the Nth row and the Kth column, and the laser external axis cleans the N+3th row and the Kth column to be welded area. After the laser cleaning and welding are completed, the slide moves horizontally to the next welding point position. The laser cleaning and the robot operate independently and synchronously. When all welding and cleaning of the area covered by one workstation are completed in advance, it is necessary to stop at the position of the last anchor nail 16 welding point and wait for the operation of another workstation to be completed. The gantry moves to the next row and the two slides move synchronously to the position of the first anchor nail 16 welding point in their respective coverage areas.

[0055] In the present invention, 10% of the total amount of welding of the anchor nail 16 is sampled, and a certain number of welds should be sampled in each area, and the phenomenon of excessive sampling in some areas and too little or even zero sampling in some areas shall not occur. The destructive test is a hammer test, and the sleeve shall not be bent. The hammering angle is 20°. The hammering should be divided into multiple times, each time 3°~5°, and the angle gauge is used to measure after each hammering. It is strictly forbidden to hammer at an excessive angle and then hammer in the opposite direction to the specified angle.

[0056] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
