Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of auxiliary machinery used in the manufacture of nuclear power equipment, and in particular to a device and method for machining threaded holes inside a steam generator. Background Art

[0004] In 2021, the world's first high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant demonstration project (HTR-PM) with nuclear power operation was put into operation. The 36-M64X3 threaded holes on the main helium fan support flange and the 36-M42X2 threaded holes on the shell cylinder internal component support flange were all processed before welding with the upper cylinder and the main flange of the cylinder. There are no problems such as narrow processing space. However, after the overall heat treatment of the shell cylinder assembly, the assembly will be deformed, which will directly affect the tolerance accuracy of the threaded holes, such as position, verticality, roughness, etc., and bring serious difficulties to the subsequent assembly of the whole machine.

[0005] The main helium fan support flange of the steam generator of the 600MW high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant is welded with the straight section of the fan shell cylinder and the lower flange of the fan shell cylinder, and then the steam generator shell cylinder assembly is heat treated as a whole. Then, it is necessary to face the technical difficulty of processing 36-M64X3 threaded holes on the main helium fan support flange inside the cylinder. Correspondingly, after the internal component support flange of the steam generator shell cylinder is welded with the upper cylinder and the main flange of the cylinder, the steam generator shell cylinder assembly is heat treated as a whole. Then, it is necessary to face the technical difficulty of processing 36-M42X2 threaded holes on the internal component support flange of the cylinder.

[0006] The overall height of the fan casing assembly is nearly 4699mm, and the span of the threaded holes to be processed The pitch circle of the threaded hole is 110mm from the inner wall of the cylinder. The overall height of the steam generator shell cylinder assembly is nearly 7500mm, and the span of the threaded hole to be processed is The pitch circle of the threaded hole is 60mm from the inner wall of the cylinder. The threaded hole is processed on such a large structural component with a narrow space and position. At present, the existing large-scale machining equipment (such as large boring machines, gantry milling machines) cannot complete it. The main helium fan support flange also needs to ensure that the hole accuracy reaches the verticality: 0.2mm, the position accuracy: Thread roughness: Ra3.2μm. The hole accuracy on the supporting flange of the internal component of the steam generator shell cylinder needs to be guaranteed to reach the verticality: Position degree: Thread roughness: Ra3.2μm.

[0007] In summary, based on the above-mentioned specific and complex technical problems, the inventors have conducted in-depth research on threaded hole processing equipment, in the hope of designing a device and method for milling threaded holes on the supporting flange of the main helium fan of the steam generator that can solve the above-mentioned problems. The device and method are used to complete the milling processing task of the 36-M64X3 threaded holes on the supporting flange of the main helium fan of the steam generator. A device and method for drilling / tapping threads inside the steam generator cylinder are also provided. The device and method are used to complete the processing task of the 36-M42X2 threaded holes on the supporting flange of the internal component of the steam generator shell cylinder, and both can ensure that the quality of the threaded holes meets the quality requirements of nuclear power equipment.

[0055] On the turntable mounting bracket 1, 8 centering screws 12 are evenly arranged around the turntable base 2, and the coaxiality of the rotation center of the turntable base 2 and the rotation center of the device to be processed is adjusted by the centering screws 12; the centering screws 12 are horizontally arranged, one end of the centering screws 12 abuts against the turntable base 2, and the other end of the centering screws 12 extends to the outside of the turntable mounting bracket 1 and can be screwed, and the elongation of the centering screws 12 is controlled by screwing, so that the turntable base 2 is pushed to be fine-tuned in the horizontal direction by the centering screws 12.

[0056] Preferably, a locking mechanism 25 is provided on the turntable base 2 , and when the position of the turntable base 2 is adjusted, the turntable base 2 is locked on the turntable mounting bracket 1 through the locking mechanism 25 .
