Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sensor installation and positioning, and particularly relates to a sensor replacement, positioning and sealing device for a sealed container and an installation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the operation of a reactor, the fuel assembly is long-term in a sealed high-temperature and high-pressure pressure vessel, and the coolant containing boron flows through the fuel assembly along the direction of the fuel rod, thereby causing the overall and local flow-induced vibration of the assembly, the vibration can cause the sliding friction and collision between the fuel rod and the grid, and finally can cause the fatigue wear and even damage of the fuel assembly, which can cause fuel leakage and serious consequences. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand and study the flow-induced vibration characteristics of the assembly in a high-temperature environment for the structural design of the fuel assembly, and the flow-induced vibration problem of the fuel assembly has always been concerned.

[0003] In order to study and evaluate the flow-induced vibration characteristics of the fuel assembly in the reactor, corresponding sensors need to be arranged in the flow-induced vibration test research of the fuel assembly to measure the fluid excitation and response of the assembly, and the displacement sensor is a commonly used sensor for measuring the vibration response of the assembly under fluid excitation, which can directly obtain the displacement response of the assembly under the action of fluid. Therefore, the installation, positioning, adjustment and sealing reliability of the displacement sensor in a high-temperature and high-pressure test environment is directly related to the safety of the test and the effectiveness of the data.

[0004] In the prior art, the displacement sensor probe is generally in the form of an external thread, and during installation, a sealing material is applied on the external thread of the sensor probe, and the probe is screwed into the threaded hole matched on the test cylinder to realize installation and sealing. However, the test cylinder will expand under high-temperature environment, which can cause the relative distance between the displacement sensor and the fuel assembly to exceed the range of the sensor, and thus the measurement cannot be performed. In the prior art, the position of the sensor cannot be adjusted after installation, which causes the sensor to be unable to effectively monitor the fuel assembly. SUMMARY

The pressure surface (561) is used to press the end face of the second compression washer (540) from the side of the second compression washer (540) away from the sleeve (100). The surrounding surface (562) is used to sleeve the second compression washer (540) circumferentially.

[0069] A split washer refers to a washer that has been cut along its axial direction, resulting in the washer being separated into two parts along a plane formed by its diameter and axis. For example, for the third soft washer (520), such as... Figure 6 As shown, the plane formed by radial A and axial directions is divided into two parts, and the first central opening (521) of the third soft washer (520) becomes two selectively openable openings. For the second compression washer (540), as... Figure 8 As shown, the plane formed by radial B and axial directions is divided into two parts, and the second center opening (542) of the second clamping washer (540) becomes two selectively openable openings. The fourth soft washer (530) is similar and will not be described in detail. During installation, the two halves of the split washer can be used to clamp the sensor wire (700) to achieve installation. The washer cap (560) is used to prevent the split second clamping washer (540) from loosening and failing to clamp the wire (700), and to ensure that the second clamping washer (540) is evenly stressed when the second locking nut (510) is tightened for sealing, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0070] On the other hand, such as Figure 10 As shown, this application also provides a method for installing a sensor replacement positioning sealing device in a sealed container, the method comprising:

[0071] S1. Connect the sensor probe (600) to the measuring rod (200) and pass the wire (700) of the sensor probe (600) through the measuring rod (200).

[0072] In the embodiment including the sleeve (100), the displacement sensor probe (600) is screwed through the external thread of the sleeve (100) into the internal thread of the end of the measuring rod (200) to which the sleeve (100) is fitted, and the lead wire (700) of the sensor is led out from the internal through hole of the measuring rod (200).

[0073] S2, the measuring rod (200) is threadedly connected with the nozzle seat (300), and the measuring rod (200) is screwed to adjust the position of the detection end of the sensor probe (600), so that the distance between the measuring end and the measured member is within the range of the sensor range.

[0074] The measuring rod (200) provided with the sensor probe (600) is inserted into the nozzle seat (300) welded on the container, and the thread on the measuring rod (200) is screwed into the sealing thread in the nozzle seat (300) to be fitted and fixed. Then, the depth of the measuring rod (200) screwed into the nozzle seat (300) is adjusted, and the voltage value of the displacement sensor is measured synchronously to determine the measurement zero position of the displacement sensor, so as to ensure that the distance between the sensor probe (600) and the measured member, i.e. the fuel assembly, is within the range of the sensor range.

[0075] S3, the measuring rod sealing assembly (400) is sleeved on the measuring rod (200), and the measuring rod (200) and the nozzle seat (300) are sealed.

[0076] The first soft gasket (420) is sleeved on the measuring rod (200) and pressed into the through hole of the second boss (302) in the nozzle seat (300), and then the second soft gasket (430) and the first compression gasket (440) are pressed. Then, the first locking nut (410) is tightened to drive the second gasket assembly to realize the sealing of the measuring rod (200).

[0077] S4, the lead wire sealing assembly (500) is sleeved on the lead wire (700), and the measuring rod (200) and the lead wire (700) are sealed.

[0078] The Figure 5 - the third soft gasket (520) in FIG. 6 is halved, Figure 1 The fourth soft gasket (530) in FIG. 6 clamps the lead wire (700) of the sensor and presses the third soft gasket (520) into the through hole of the third boss (201) in the measuring rod (200). The Figures 7-8 The second compression gasket (540) in FIG. 6 clamps the lead wire (700) of the sensor and pushes the third soft gasket (520) into the through hole of the third boss (201) in the measuring rod (200). Figure 1The fourth soft gasket (530) is rotated, and the second compression gasket (540) is rotated, so that the first limiting groove (541) is aligned with the second limiting groove on the measuring rod (200). The brake pin (550) is inserted into the first limiting groove (541) and the second limiting groove, so that the measuring rod (200) is prevented from rotating relative to the second compression gasket (540) and the lead wire (700) is clamped. The gasket cap (560) in the fourth soft gasket (530) is sleeved on the second compression gasket (540), so that the second compression gasket (540) is prevented from being loosened and unable to clamp the lead wire (700) when the second compression gasket (540) is half-split, and the second locking nut (510) is tightened to press and seal, the second compression gasket (540) is uniformly stressed, and the sealing effect is improved. Finally, the second locking nut (510) is tightened, and the second gasket assembly is driven to realize sealing of the sensor lead wire (700). Figure 9 Figure 3

[0079] When adjustment of the position of the sensor probe (600) is required, only the measuring rod (200) needs to be rotated, so that the position of the sensor probe (600) is conveniently adjusted, and the container is always sealed during the process.

[0080] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.​​
