Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reactor fuel assemblies, and in particular to a lower locking device of a reactor fuel assembly. Background Art
[0002] The fuel assembly is located between the upper and lower core plates in the core. The fuel assembly is fixed by the upper and lower core plates when in service. The fuel assembly is unlocked from the core plates when the fuel assembly is unloaded or replaced. Therefore, the fuel assembly needs to have locking and unlocking functions with the lower end plate of the core.
[0003] Existing lead-based reactor fuel assembly buoyancy locking mechanism, such as Figure 1 As shown, the buoyancy of the floating slide is used to push the ball anchor outward into the ball hole in the core grid plate where the ball hole has been opened, and the fuel assembly is locked by the cooperation of the ball anchor and the ball hole. This locking method relies on the buoyancy of the floating slide to push the ball anchor outward. The designed floating slide is a round tube with limited volume. The density difference between stainless steel and lead-bismuth is small, so the buoyancy provided by the floating slide is limited, and the radial force component on the ball anchor is even more limited. Therefore, this locking method is unreliable.
[0004] The unlocking of this locking method relies on external force to push down the floating slide, providing space for the ball anchor to retract. However, the power for the retraction of the ball anchor comes from the relative movement of the fuel assembly and the core grid plate. When the depth of the ball hole in the core grid plate is close to the radius of the ball anchor, the ball anchor and the ball hole may be stuck, making it impossible to pull out the fuel assembly.
[0005] In addition, lead-based coolants are highly corrosive. Under high temperature conditions, the structural materials of the fuel assembly are strongly eroded and corroded by the lead-based coolant, causing the surface quality of the fuel assembly structural materials to deteriorate and increasing mutual friction. In this case, the friction between the ball anchor and the ball hole and the floating slide increases, making it more likely for the ball anchor to get stuck. Summary of the invention

In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.
[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or a chemical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.
[0042] See also Figures 2 to 11 One embodiment of the present invention discloses a lower locking device for a reactor fuel assembly, which is particularly suitable for locking and unlocking the lower part of a fuel assembly in a lead-based reactor, and is not affected by the corrosiveness of a lead-based coolant. In addition, the device can also be applied to water reactors, sodium metal reactors, and molten salt reactors.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower locking device includes a lower core plate 1, a lower tube leg 2 connected to the fuel assembly, a locking cam 3, a limiting structure 4, a plurality of locking assemblies 5 and a guide rod 6. Fig.11 As shown, the lower core plate 1 is provided with a longitudinal mounting hole 11 and a plurality of transverse locking grooves 12, and the locking grooves 12 are connected to the mounting hole 11. The lower tube leg 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, and is provided with a plurality of through holes 21 connected to the locking grooves 12, and each locking assembly 5 can be radially slidably protruded or received in the through hole 21. The locking cam 3 is rotatably arranged inside the lower tube leg 2, and a locking position 31 and an unlocking position 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction. The limiting structure 4 is arranged at a preset position inside the lower tube leg 2 to axially limit the locking cam 3. The guide rod 6 is connected to the locking cam 3 and extends upward along the axial direction of the fuel assembly. Among them, the number of locking assemblies 5 can be one, two, or more. In this embodiment, two locking assemblies 5 are taken as an example for explanation, and multiple locking assemblies 5 are implemented in the same way. Similarly, the setting of the locking position 31 and the unlocking position 32 corresponds to the locking assembly 5 one by one.
[0044] The lower locking device of the reactor fuel assembly includes a locked state and an unlocked state. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide rod 6 drives the locking cam 3 to rotate to the locking position 31 and abuts against the locking assembly 5. The locking assembly 5 partially extends out of the through hole 21 and is plugged into the locking groove 12, which is in a locked state. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide rod 6 drives the locking cam 3 to rotate to the unlocking position 32 and abuts against the locking assembly 5, and the protruding portion of the locking assembly 5 retracts into the through hole 21 and disengages from the locking groove 12, which is an unlocked state.
[0045] By manually applying external force to the guide rod 6 to manipulate the movement of the guide rod 6, the movement of the guide rod 6 drives the locking cam 3 to rotate. In the locked state, the outer component can be locked with the guide rod 6 to prevent the locking cam 3 from rotating. When unlocking is required, first unlock the outer component and the guide rod 6, and then operate the guide rod 6 to unlock the fuel assembly. Among them, the guide rod 6 can be directly rigidly connected and fixed with the locking cam 3, and the rotation of the guide rod 6 synchronously drives the locking cam 3 to rotate. The axial movement of the guide rod 6 can also be converted into the rotational movement of the locking cam 3 through a switching component. This solution is relatively complicated and is not the focus of the present invention, so it will not be described here.
[0046] The lower locking device of the present invention has a simple structure and does not rely on the buoyancy of the parts of the fuel assembly. The fuel assembly is locked by applying an external force manually, and a torque opposite to the locking is applied during unlocking to complete the unlocking.
[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking cam 3 is a variable diameter structure, the diameter of the locking position 31 is larger than the diameter of the unlocking position 32, and the diameter gradually decreases from the locking position 31 to the unlocking position 32. The locking cam 3 is a variable diameter structure, and the outer peripheral wall surface of the locking cam 3 is an arc surface with different diameters, which can reduce the friction between the locking cam 3 and the locking assembly 5, facilitate the operation of the guide rod 6, and reduce the wear of the locking cam 3 and the locking assembly 5, protect the integrity of the parts, and reduce the risk of failure. Among them, Figure 8 The specific profile of the locking cam 3 is shown, the diameter of the locking position 31 refers to the outer diameter of the locking cam 3 at the locking position 31, and the diameter of the unlocking position 32 refers to the outer diameter of the locking cam 3 at the unlocking position 32. The maximum outer diameter of the locking cam 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the lower leg 2 to achieve radial limitation and prevent the locking cam 3 from moving radially.
[0048] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the locking cam 3 at the locking position 31 is closer to the inner wall of the lower leg 2 than the outer wall surface of the locking cam 3 at the unlocking position 32. Generally, the distance between the locking position 31 and the inner wall of the locking groove 12 of the lower core plate 1 is greater than or equal to the length of the locking assembly 5, so as to ensure that when the locking position 31 abuts against the locking assembly 5, the protruding portion of the locking assembly 5 can be plugged into the locking groove 12, thereby achieving the lower locking of the fuel assembly. The distance between the unlocking position 32 and the outer wall of the lower leg 2 is the same as or similar to the length of the locking assembly 5, so as to ensure that when the unlocking position 32 abuts against the locking assembly 5, the locking assembly 5 can just retract the protruding portion into the through hole 21 and disengage from the locking groove 12, thereby achieving the lower unlocking of the fuel assembly.
[0049] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the locking assembly 5 includes an elastic member 51 and a locking member 52. The elastic member 51 is sleeved on the periphery of the locking member 52, and the two ends of the elastic member 51 are respectively abutted between the end of the locking member 52 and the inner wall of the lower tube leg 2 to push the locking member 52 into the through hole 21. The locking member 52 is used to be inserted into the locking groove 12 to achieve the locking function and retract into the through hole 21 to achieve the unlocking function. The elastic member 51 provides elastic force in the locked state and the unlocked state and in the conversion process between the two states. The elastic member 51 can be a spring. The locking member 52 can be a pin.
[0050] Specifically, when the locking member 52 abuts against the locking cam 3 at the locking position 31, the elastic member 51 remains in a compressed state. During the rotation of the locking cam 3, from the locking member 52 abutting against the locking position 31 to the abutting against the unlocking position 32, due to the elastic force, the locking member 52 always abuts against the locking cam 3, and the protruding portion of the locking member 52 is gradually retracted into the through hole 21, until the locking member 52 abuts against the locking cam 3 at the unlocking position 32, and the elastic member 51 can remain in a normal state or a compressed state.
[0051] In some embodiments, the locking member 52 includes a locking section 521 and an abutting section 522 connected to each other, the diameter of the locking section 521 is smaller than the diameter of the abutting section 522, the locking section 521 is slidably plugged with the through hole 21, and the elastic member 51 is sleeved on the locking section 521 and abuts between the abutting section 522 and the inner wall of the lower tube leg 2. The locking section 521 is used to be plugged into the locking groove 12 to achieve the locking function and retract into the through hole 21 to achieve the unlocking function. The abutting section 522 is used to receive the elastic force from the elastic member 51 and the thrust from the locking cam 3, and transmit them to the locking section 521 to achieve the corresponding movement. Preferably, the outer surface of the abutting section 522 facing the locking cam 3 is an arc surface. Similar to the arc surface of the outer peripheral wall of the locking cam 3, the friction between the abutment section 522 and the locking cam 3 can be reduced, which facilitates the operation of the guide rod 6 and reduces the wear of the abutment section 522 and the locking cam 3, thereby protecting the integrity of the parts and reducing the risk of failure.
[0052] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the limiting structure 4 includes an upper limit structure 41 and a lower limit structure 42. The upper limit structure 41 is arranged on the upper part of the locking cam 3 and is connected and fixed to the lower leg 2. The lower limit structure 42 is arranged on the lower part of the locking cam 3 and is detachably connected to the lower leg 2. The spacing between the upper limit structure 41 and the lower limit structure 42 is slightly greater than or equal to the thickness of the locking cam 3. Among them, the upper limit structure 41 is used to limit the axial upward movement of the locking cam 3, and is a plurality of convex ribs arranged inside the lower leg 2. The convex ribs are point-shaped, block-shaped or ring-shaped. The lower limit structure 42 is used to limit the axial downward movement of the locking cam 3. It is a slat that is radially plugged into the lower leg 2 and carries the locking cam 3. Preferably, at least two plug-in holes 22 are provided on the lower leg 2 for detachable connection of the lower limit structure 42.
[0053] In some embodiments, the lower locking device further includes a plurality of external limiting ribs 43, which are connected and fixed to the outside of the lower tube leg 2 and abut against the upper part of the lower core plate 1. The external limiting ribs 43 are point-shaped, block-shaped or ring-shaped. The external limiting ribs 43 are used to limit the downward movement of the lower tube leg 2 and ensure accurate installation and positioning.
[0054] When the lower locking device is initially assembled, after the locking cam 3 is assembled with the lower tube leg 2, the lower limit structure 42 is assembled to position the locking cam 3. After the locking member 52 is assembled with the elastic member 51, it is assembled with the locking cam 3 inside the lower tube leg 2. The locking member 52 is retracted inward by the elastic force of the elastic member 51, and the lower locking device is in an unlocked state, that is, the fuel assembly is in an unlocked state.
[0055] The method of using the lower locking device of the present invention is as follows:
[0056] Locking method: After the fuel assembly is assembled to the lower core plate 1, the lower tube leg 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 of the lower core plate 1, and the external limiting rib 43 abuts against the upper part of the lower core plate 1 to achieve installation positioning. Apply external force to the guide rod 6 to rotate the locking cam 3 counterclockwise, and the locking member 52 is pushed outward to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 51 and move outward. The locking member 52 cooperates with the lower core plate 1 and is inserted into the locking groove 12 to complete the locking of the fuel assembly.
[0057] Unlocking method: When the fuel assembly needs to be unlocked from the lower core plate, an external force is applied to the guide rod 6 to rotate the locking cam 3 clockwise, and the locking member 52 returns under the elastic force of the elastic member 51, and the protruding part of the locking member 52 is finally completely retracted into the through hole 21, that is, recovered into the lower tube leg 2, and the fuel assembly is unlocked. The fuel assembly can be pulled out from the lower core plate 1.
[0058] By implementing the present invention, the following beneficial effects are achieved:
[0059] The lower locking device of the reactor fuel assembly of the present invention drives the locking cam 3 to rotate to the locking position 31 and abut against the locking assembly 5 through the guide rod 6. The locking assembly 5 partially extends out of the through hole 21 and plugs into the locking groove 12 to achieve the locking of the fuel assembly. The guide rod 6 drives the locking cam 3 to rotate to the unlocking position 32 and abuts against the locking assembly 5. The protruding part of the locking assembly 5 retracts into the through hole 21 and disengages from the locking groove 12 to achieve the unlocking of the fuel assembly. The lower locking device of the present invention has a simple structure and uses artificial external force to adjust the abutment position of the locking cam 3 and the locking assembly 5, thereby locking the fuel assembly. When unlocking, a torque opposite to the locking is applied to complete the unlocking. Both locking and unlocking the fuel assembly are achieved by artificially applying external force, and the controllability is high.
