Since the design life of some core equipment is much lower than that of the whole glass solidification facility, such equipment is required to be replaced by remote operation in a radioactive environment. When the equipment is remotely replaced, the pipe connected with the equipment needs to be disconnected first, and then the equipment is remotely replaced. After the equipment is replaced, the pipe is connected.

In the current project, a quick connector and an ordinary cross-over pipe are used for connection. For the case of using a quick connector, only small-diameter pipes can be used in this form due to the specification of the quick connector. Although the ordinary cross-over pipe can be connected to large-diameter pipes, the interchangeability requirements (installation positioning accuracy, equipment manufacturing accuracy, etc.) of the equipment (the pipes to be connected) are very high.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cross-over pipe of the embodiment comprises a pipe body 1 and a connecting mechanism 2, the pipe body 1 has a rigid first pipe segment 11 at both ends and a second pipe segment 12 in the middle, the connecting mechanism 2 is arranged at the port of the first pipe segment 11 for butt joint and compression sealing of the first pipe segment 11 on the pipe to be connected 3, and the second pipe segment 12 is an axially telescopic pipe segment to compensate the compression stroke of the connecting mechanism 2 and the axial deviation of the first pipe segment 11 and the pipe to be connected 3.

[0044] The cross-over pipe of the embodiment combines the rigid first pipe segment 11 and the telescopic second pipe segment 12 to form the pipe body 1, and the first pipe segment 11 is arranged at both ends and the second pipe segment 12 is arranged in the middle, which is a reasonable structure layout. The butt joint position at both ends adopts a rigid structure, so it is not only convenient to arrange the connecting mechanism 2, but also convenient to automatically operate butt joint, avoiding the difficulty of fixation caused by flexible and easy deformation. The middle position adopts a telescopic structure, which is more convenient to install compared with the traditional rigid structure, avoiding friction or interference between the both ends of the pipe body 1 and the end face of the pipe to be connected 3, and effectively compensating the axial deviation caused by production and installation. At the same time, due to the arrangement of the telescopic second pipe segment 12, the first pipe segment 11 and the pipe to be connected 3 can be sealed and connected in a compression mode after butt joint, and the telescopic allowance can compensate the length change of the pipe body 1 caused by the compression stroke. Compared with the traditional additional sealing connection component, the sealing connection mode is simpler, and it is more reliable and effective to ensure the sealing effect due to its simplicity.

[0045] In addition, such a simple, reliable and reasonable layout cross-over pipe structure can be realized by automatic operation equipment, and the whole adopts a pure mechanical structure without additional driving, so the possibility of being affected by the environment is low. Due to its pure mechanical structure, automatic operation and simple and reliable sealing effect, it can be applied to high radioactive waste liquid treatment and other nuclear facilities with high requirements.

[0046] In the embodiment, the second pipe segment 12 is further selected as a flexible bellows to compensate the radial deviation, angle deviation and axial deviation of the two pipes to be connected 3 through radial deformation, deflection and axial telescoping. The bellows design displacement is ≥32mm and the cycle number is ≥1000.

[0047] In the embodiment, the first flange 31 is arranged at the port of the pipeline 3, and the outer surface of the first flange 31 is a slope surface gradually expanding in the direction of the first pipe section 11. One end of the connecting mechanism 2 is sleeved outside the port of the first pipe section 11, and the other end clamps the pipeline 3 to be connected. The clamping ends are abutted against each other to form a clamping surface 211, which is a through hole coaxial with the first pipe section 11, so that the connecting mechanism 2 moves along the slope surface of the first flange 31 to the side of the pipeline 3 to be connected and the first pipe section 11 is pressed against the pipeline 3 to be connected during clamping. The slope surface and the clamping surface 211 are combined together to realize clamping and pressing. During clamping, the diameter of the clamping surface 211 gradually contracts and moves along the slope surface to a position with smaller diameter on the first flange 31, so that the pressing action is automatically completed. Through the ingenious structure, two actions are completed by one operation. The pressing action does not need an additional operation mechanism and an additional operation control system. The structure is simplified, and the operation steps are also simplified, which is more suitable for remote operation equipment.

[0048] In the embodiment, the clamping surface 211 is a slope surface matched with the outer surface of the first flange 31, which is more convenient for moving along the slope surface during clamping. The matched slope surfaces are more closely connected and reliable.

[0049] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 The connecting mechanism 2 includes clamping petals 21, a mounting seat 22 and a pulling mechanism 23. The clamping petals 21 are connected to the mounting seat 22 by the pulling mechanism 23 and can move relative to each other. The abutted surfaces of the clamping petals 21 are abutted against each other to form the clamping surface 211. The pulling mechanism 23 is used to pull the clamping petals 21 to open or clamp. When the clamping petals 21 are opened, the clamping surface 211 is divided into arc segments on the side walls of the clamping petals 21, and the clamping function is not formed, so that the connecting mechanism 2 and the pipeline 3 to be connected can be separated from each other. When the clamping petals 21 are clamped, the arc segments on the side walls of the clamping petals 21 are abutted against each other to form the clamping surface 211, so that the pipeline 3 to be connected is clamped.

[0050] In the embodiment, the clamping petals 21 are provided with three pieces, two movable clamping petals 21 are hingedly connected to the other connecting clamping petal 21, specifically, the connecting clamping petal 21 is located at the top of the two movable clamping petals 21, the two movable clamping petals 21 are symmetrically arranged along the symmetry axis of the connecting clamping petal 21, and the side walls of the three are provided with arc segments for splicing to form the clamping surface 211; the hinged position of the two movable clamping petals 21 is located at the top end of the movable clamping petal 21, so that the first flange 31 is realized to enter and exit through the lower opening when opening and closing. The pulling mechanism 23 includes a screw rod 231 and a nut 232, the nut 232 is provided with two, which are connected to the two movable clamping petals 21 respectively, and are connected to the screw rod 231 through opposite screw threads. The screw rod 231 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 22, and the rotation of the screw rod 231 drives the nut 232 to drive the two movable clamping petals 21 to open around the hinge point, and at the same time, the movable clamping petal 21 pushes the connecting clamping petal 21 to move and open (during the movement of the nut 232, the rotation of the movable clamping petal 21 around the hinge point makes the connecting clamping petal 21 and the screw rod 231 increase the distance to realize the opening), or the rotation of the nut 232 drives the two movable clamping petals 21 to clamp around the hinge point, and at the same time, the movable clamping petal 21 pulls the connecting clamping petal 21 to move and reset. The opposite screw threads make the two nuts 232 move in opposite directions, i.e. move towards each other or move away from each other during the rotation of the screw rod 231, so as to realize the clamping and opening of the clamping petals 21.

[0051] In the embodiment, the port of the first pipe segment 11 is provided with a second flange 111, the second flange 111 protrudes from the surface of the first pipe segment 11 in the radial direction, so that the port of the first pipe segment 11 forms a stepped shaft, and the large diameter section of the stepped shaft faces the side of the pipe to be connected 3. One end of the clamping surface 211 towards the first pipe segment 11 is a stepped hole matched with the port of the first pipe segment 11, so that when the clamping petals 21 are mutually butted, one end of the clamping surface 211 is clamped by the stepped surface of the stepped hole and clamps the second flange 111, and the other end cooperates with the first flange 31, so that the connecting mechanism 2 moves gradually to the side of the pipe to be connected 3 along the slope surface of the first flange 31, and drives the second flange 111 to be pressed to the first flange 31. Thus, the axial positioning of the first pipe segment 11 is realized through the contact of the second flange 111 and the stepped hole, so as to avoid the sealing failure caused by the backward shrinkage of the first pipe segment 11 during the pressing process.

[0052] Therefore, the butt joint surface of each clamping petal 21 for forming the clamping surface 211 is provided with a concave groove, as shown in Figure 5 The side wall near the first flange 31 in the groove is a slope surface matched with the outer surface of the first flange 31, and the side wall near the second flange 111 is a vertical surface to match and limit the stepped surface formed by the second flange 111. The inner surface of the through hole formed after the butt joint of the clamping petals 21 is a special-shaped structure hole connected with the circular column structure after the circular table structure.

[0053] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 22 is divided into two parts, which are connected by fasteners (screws). After the connection, the two parts have a gap of more than 1mm. The abutting surface forms a through hole (with a gap) that clamps and fixes the first pipe segment 11. The through hole is coaxial with the clamping surface 211 hole to ensure that the first pipe segment 11 is coaxial with the pipe to be connected 3.

[0054] In this embodiment, the second flange 111 has a groove on the surface facing the pipe to be connected 3, which is used to embed the connecting sealing gasket 112. The sealing gasket 112 can be used to seal the sealing joint of the abutting surface of the first flange 31 and the second flange 111, to further improve the compression sealing effect.

[0055] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The connecting mechanism 2 is provided with a positioning pin 24 arranged along the axis of the first pipe segment 11. The positioning pin 24 protrudes from the surface of the connecting mechanism 2 facing the pipe to be connected 3. The pipe to be connected 3 is provided with a support disc 32, which is provided with a clamping groove for holding the positioning pin 24 to complete the initial positioning of the cross-over pipe. This cooperation structure can complete the initial abutting positioning before clamping, reducing the abutting difficulty and precision requirement.

[0056] In this embodiment, the hinge position of the two movable clamping petals 21 is located at the top end, so that the first flange 31 is inserted and removed through the lower opening when opening and closing. This structure is more convenient for hoisting and abutting of the cross-over pipe. When the cross-over pipe is hoisted into position, the positioning pin 24 is positioned on the support disc 32, and the first flange 31 is also inserted into the clamping end of the connecting mechanism 2 from the opening.

[0057] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 The cross-over pipe also includes a lifting device 4. The two first pipe segments 11 are each provided with a lifting point. The lifting device 4 can be detachably connected to each lifting point and can relatively approach or move away from each lifting point to realize the extension and contraction of the pipeline body 1, so as to connect the two pipes to be connected 3.

[0058] In this embodiment, the lifting device 4 includes lifting arms 41, support rods 42, support blocks 43, and a central shaft 44. The support blocks 43 are provided with two, one of which is rotatably connected to the top of the central shaft 44, and the other is connected to the bottom of the central shaft 44 through a threaded pair. The lifting arms 41 are provided with two, the top ends of which are hingedly connected to the support blocks 43 on the top of the central shaft 44, and the bottom ends are respectively detachably connected to the lifting points on the two first pipe segments 11. The middle parts are respectively hingedly connected to the support blocks 43 at the bottom of the central shaft 44 through the support rods 42, so as to realize the lifting of the support blocks 43 through the rotation of the central shaft 44, and thus drive the two lifting arms 41 to open and close through the support rods 42, to realize the extension and contraction of the pipeline body 1.

[0059] The setting structure can realize the extension and contraction through single position operation, that is, the extension and contraction of the pipeline body 1 can be realized by only operating the rotation of the central shaft 44, without the need of setting operation devices on two positions of the pipeline body 1 and then controlling the two operation devices to move close or away, which not only simplifies the operation structure, but also is more convenient to operate.

[0060] In the embodiment, the lengths of the two hoisting arms 41 are related to the relative positions between the two pipelines 3 connected by the cross connection pipe, that is, related to the inclination angle when the pipeline body 1 is in the connection position. Specifically, when the central shaft 44 of the hoist 4 is in the vertical position, the connecting line of the bottom ends of the two hoisting arms 41 is parallel to the connecting line of the two pipelines 3 to be connected, so as to ensure that the pipeline body 1 can be connected to the pipelines 3 to be connected in a consistent angle direction.

[0061] In the embodiment, the hoisting point of the first pipe section 11 is provided with a connecting part 113, the connecting part 113 includes a connecting column and a connecting sheet, the connecting column is connected between the first pipe section 11 and the connecting sheet, the hoist 4 includes an adapter 45, the adapter 45 is provided with a hook-shaped strip-shaped groove 451, the width of the strip-shaped groove 451 is greater than the diameter of the connecting column and less than the width of the connecting sheet, one end of the strip-shaped groove 451 extends to the edge of the adapter 45 to form an opening, so as to allow the connecting column to enter and exit the strip-shaped groove 451 to realize detachable connection, and the connecting sheet is limited to prevent it from being pulled out in the horizontal direction.

[0062] Specifically, the strip-shaped groove 451 includes two vertical sections with one long and one short, the top ends of the long vertical section and the short vertical section are flush and connected through an arc-shaped section, the bottom end of the long vertical section extends to the edge of the adapter 45 to form an opening, the connecting column of the connecting part 113 enters the strip-shaped groove 451 from the opening, moves upward along the long vertical section, and then enters the short vertical section through the arc-shaped section to complete the limiting connection, and reversely moves out of the opening when disengaging.

[0063] In general, the embodiment can be used in the field of radioactive waste treatment technology, and specifically relates to a flexible cross connection pipe which can be replaced at a long distance. For the connection of large-diameter pipelines which need to be disconnected and connected at a long distance, the embodiment provides a new connection method. According to the characteristics of the extension and contraction of the bellows, the bellows is connected with the pipe sections at both ends, so as to effectively realize the long-distance replacement of the equipment. That is, the flexible cross connection pipe has a wider adjustment range, is convenient to operate, has good sealing effect, and can be replaced at a long distance in a radioactive environment. The cross connection pipe can be replaced (installed and removed) at a long distance through tools such as a power hand, a master-slave manipulator, and an electric wrench.

[0064] The cross connection pipe of the embodiment specifically includes:

[0065] The pipeline body 1 includes a first pipe segment 11 and a second pipe segment 12, which can also be respectively referred to as a connecting pipe and a bellows according to structural features. The bellows can be further provided with a protective sleeve. The bellows and the protective sleeve form a telescopic sleeve structure. The protective sleeve is a rigid structure, one end of which is connected to the first pipe segment 11 on one side, and the other end is open, without affecting the telescopic and deformation of the internal bellows. The first pipe segment 11 is provided with a connecting part 113, which is a base connected with the lifting device 4.

The positioning pin 24 can achieve support of the to-be-connected pipeline on the cross pipe, and also can achieve positioning of the to-be-connected pipeline and the cross pipe.

[0067] The lifting device 4 comprises a central shaft 44, a supporting block 43, a lifting arm 41, a limiting block 48, a supporting rod 42 and a connector. The central shaft 44 can be provided with a limiting block 48 at the top and bottom of the stroke of the bottom supporting block 43. A handle 46 can be provided at the top of the lifting device 4. A nut 47 can be provided at the top of the central shaft 44 for easy operation. In this embodiment, the contraction or extension to the set length is controlled in a manner. First, during the debugging process, the supporting block 43 at the lower part of the central shaft 44 moves downward by rotating the nut 47. When the jumper pipe connected by the lifting arm 41 is contracted to the required set length (here, the first set length after contraction is convenient for hoisting and installation), the lower limiting block 48 is screwed to fit with the supporting block 43 (referring to the supporting block 43 at the lower part of the central shaft 44, the same below), and the lower limiting block 48 is spot welded. When the nut 47 is rotated in the opposite direction, the supporting block 43 moves upward to the upper limiting block 48. When the jumper pipe is extended to the required set length (here, the second set length after extension can be connected with the two side pipes 3 to be connected), the upper limiting block 48 is screwed to fit with the supporting block 43, and the upper limiting block 48 is spot welded. In this way, the movement range of the supporting block 43 is determined. Then, during the use of the working condition, the nut 47 is rotated to the maximum torque, and the maximum contraction length and extension length can be adjusted for remote operation and processing. That is, after the debugging is completed, the position of the limiting block 48 is finally determined. The central shaft 44 is provided with limiting blocks 48 on both sides of the supporting block 43 at the bottom. The positions of the limiting blocks 48 on both sides correspond to the positions of the central shaft 44 at the stroke of the supporting block 43 at the bottom when the pipe body 1 is pulled by the lifting arm 41 to contract to the first set length and to extend to the second set length. The connecting mechanism 2 and the first pipe segment 11 and the second pipe segment 12 constitute the jumper pipe body. The connecting part 113 is fixed on the first pipe segment 11. The lifting device 4 is connected with the connecting part 113 through the connector 45 to control the extension and contraction of the jumper pipe.

[0068] The main function of the connecting mechanism 2 (chuck connector) is to connect and fix and press the external flange. The main part is the chuck, which comprises an upper chuck cone (i.e. a connecting clamping petal 21) and left and right chuck cones (i.e. movable clamping petals 21). The upper chuck cone is hingedly connected to the left and right chuck cones through a middle connecting piece (which can be a pin shaft). The inner surface is designed as a tapered surface with a certain slope, which cooperates with the external flange surface. When the chuck is closed, the three chuck cones tightly hold the external flange from three directions. When the chuck is opened, the upper chuck cone moves upward, and the two side chuck cones move to the two sides respectively. The left and right chuck cones are respectively provided with nuts rotating in opposite directions and are connected with screw rods through threads. By rotating the screw rod, the nuts can be moved to the middle or to the two sides at the same time, and the chuck connector can be closed and opened at the same time.

[0069] The jumper flange (first flange 31) can be provided with a structure containing a long neck on one side, which is welded with the pipe body of the pipe to be connected 3.

[0070] The chuck connector further comprises a cross flange having an inner groove, and a sealing gasket 112 is arranged in the inner groove. The chuck connector further comprises a chuck jaw disc (an upper and lower mounting seat 22) for connecting the cross pipe and the chuck connector. The chuck jaw disc is divided into an upper part and a lower part, and the upper part and the lower part are connected by screws and the cross flange is fixed. The chuck jaw disc is provided with a positioning pin 24, and the positioning pin 24 is connected to the chuck, that is, the positioning pin 24 penetrates the chuck.

[0071] The telescopic sleeve has two functions. One is to adjust the length of the cross pipe. When the telescopic sleeve is elongated, the flanges at both ends of the cross pipe are pressed tightly, so that the sealing of the pipe after installation is ensured. The other function is to adjust or compensate for the deviation caused by the installation of the equipment. The telescopic sleeve contains a bellows, which is welded to the first pipe section 11 at both ends.

[0072] The lifting tool 4 has a connecting rod structure, and mainly functions to lift the cross pipe and adjust the elongation and shortening of the telescopic sleeve. The screw nut 47 in the structure of the lifting tool 4 is connected to the central shaft 44 by screws, and the bottom support block 43 is connected to the central shaft 44 by threads. Meanwhile, the central shaft 44 is provided with two limiting blocks 48, which serve as the upper and lower limits. The lifting arm 41 and the support rod 42 form a connecting bracket, which is a rod-shaped bracket. The long rod and the short rod are connected by screws. In addition, the long rod, as the end of the lifting arm 41, is provided with an adapter 45, which has a hook-shaped strip-shaped groove 451 and can be connected to the base. By rotating the screw nut 47, the central shaft 44 is rotated, and the bottom support block 43 moves downward or upward, and at the same time, the short rod and the long rod are retracted to the center or expanded outward.

[0073] The lifting tool 4 is provided with a handle 46, which is convenient for the power hand to grab. When the lifting tool 4 is lifted, the central shaft 44 is vertically downward, and the main body of the cross pipe has a certain inclination angle. In the design, the lengths of the long rod and the short rod are adjusted so that the inclination angle is the same as the angle of the corresponding pipe.

[0074] The cross pipe of the embodiment can realize the cutting and connection of the pipe connected to the remote replacement equipment, has a larger adjustment range, and can meet the pipe connection of the equipment in a larger installation deviation range, including length deviation and axial deviation. The interfaces such as the screw nut and the lifting point are designed in pairs, and the remote replacement can be completed by tools such as the power hand, the master-slave manipulator, and the electric wrench in the hot cell. The cross pipe and the lifting tool are designed by connecting rods, so that when the cross pipe is lifted, the angle is the same as the installation angle of the pipe. The thread travel of the central shaft of the lifting tool is limited, so that the telescopic sleeve works within the designed range. During installation, the cross pipe can be remotely positioned. The cross pipe is a pure mechanical structure and can be reliably used in a radioactive environment.
