Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular to a transfer control system, method and apparatus for a nuclear reactor detector assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The reactor core measurement system includes core temperature measurement, core neutron injection rate measurement, and pressure vessel water level measurement, directly providing information on the coolant outlet temperature of the reactor fuel assemblies, the core neutron injection rate distribution, and the pressure vessel water level. Currently, reactor core measurement systems in related technologies adopt an integrated component form, integrating the detector assembly into one unit. That is, the detector assembly is inserted from above the reactor pressure vessel top cover and sent into the fuel assembly to realize the measurement function.

[0003] During reactor operation, the integrated core measurement system (IPS) assembly remains within the pressure vessel, with its bottom constantly exposed to the fuel assemblies, resulting in prolonged and significant exposure to radiation. Due to the short design life of the IPS, it cannot be guaranteed to remain in place throughout the entire lifecycle of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, during refueling, it is necessary to remove and replace IPS assemblies nearing the end of their service life.

[0004] Based on the design of the guide tube for the core measurement system in the upper reactor internals and the depth limitations of the component pool, the integrated detector assembly will inevitably be exposed above the water surface during the complete removal process. The used integrated detector assembly is a highly radioactive object, with uneven distribution of radioactive dose at different locations; the dose within the fuel assembly during operation is extremely high, and radiation protection must be carefully considered for this part during dismantling.

[0005] In related technologies, there is a lack of research on dedicated equipment for the water transport of high-level radioactive detectors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a transport device to realize operations such as pulling out and safely transporting high-level radioactive detectors. Summary of the Invention

[0022] In one embodiment, the control mechanism is further configured to:

[0023] If the distance between the spatial location and the obstacle location is within a preset distance range, the target transfer path is determined based on the spatial location between the transfer location and the target location.

[0024] The target transfer path is determined as a second transfer strategy that matches the transit location and the target location.

[0025] In one embodiment, the shielding body includes a mechanical shaft, and a force sensor and a motor encoder disposed on the mechanical shaft, the mechanical shaft being connected to the nuclear reactor detector assembly;

[0026] The motor encoder is used to detect the movement distance of the nuclear reactor detector assembly relative to the mechanical axis within a preset time period;

[0027] The force sensor is used to detect the tensile force exerted by the nuclear reactor detector assembly on the mechanical axis within a preset time period.

[0028] The control mechanism is further configured to determine the movement speed of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shielding body based on the movement distance and the preset duration; and to determine the transfer state of the nuclear reactor detector assembly based on the comparison between the movement speed and the preset speed, and the comparison between the movement tension and the preset tension.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0055] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, radioisotope tracing (RIC) technology has been widely applied in scientific research, medical treatment, and industrial production. As a key component of this technology, the accuracy and safety of the RIC nuclear reactor detector assembly are crucial to the reliability of experimental results and the safety of personnel.

[0056] To ensure the effective use and safety of nuclear reactor detector assemblies during transportation, the movement status of the assemblies is monitored during transport to ensure they are in optimal working condition, thereby minimizing the risk of radioactive material leakage.

[0057] In view of this, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a transfer control system for a nuclear reactor detector assembly. The transfer control system 10 for the nuclear reactor detector assembly includes a shield 102, a transfer mechanism 104, and a control mechanism 106.

[0058] Specifically, the shield 102 isolates the nuclear reactor detector assembly from the external environment, effectively shielding radiation and protecting operators and the surrounding environment. The transfer mechanism 104 transports the shield 102 from its initial position to its target position. The control mechanism 106 determines the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly based on its movement within the shield during the transfer of the shield 102 by the transfer mechanism 104 according to the target transfer strategy. If the transfer status is safe, the transfer mechanism 104 continues to transfer the shield based on the target transfer strategy. Therefore, using the transfer mechanism to transfer the nuclear reactor detector assembly improves transfer efficiency. By determining that the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly is safe and continuing to control the transfer mechanism to transfer the shield based on the target transfer strategy, the risk of radioactive material leakage during the transfer process can be reduced, thus improving the safety of the nuclear reactor detector assembly during transfer.

[0059] The structure of the shield is not limited. For example, the shield may include a mechanical shaft, and the nuclear reactor detector assembly is connected to the mechanical shaft so that the nuclear reactor detector assembly can be loaded into the shield. The shape of the shield is not limited. For example, the shield may be cylindrical. In order to prevent the nuclear reactor detector assembly from contacting the shield, the height of the cylindrical shield may be greater than the height of the nuclear reactor detector assembly, and the diameter of the cylindrical shield may be greater than the diameter of the nuclear reactor detector assembly.

[0060] The safe state indicates that the probability of radioactive material leakage from the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shield is less than a preset probability. In this case, the transfer state is considered safe. By continuing to control the transfer mechanism to transfer the shield based on the target transfer strategy, the risk of radioactive material leakage can be minimized by ensuring that the nuclear reactor detector assembly is in a safe state during the transfer process.

[0061] The initial position can refer to the location where the nuclear reactor detector assembly is mounted on the shield, while the target position can refer to the location where the nuclear reactor detector assembly is unloaded from the shield, matching the transfer task. The transfer mechanism can transport the shield from the initial position to the target position based on the target transfer strategy. The control mechanism can determine the target transfer strategy in any way; several methods are illustrated below.

[0062] In one embodiment, the control mechanism is further configured to determine a preset transfer strategy as a target transfer strategy. The target transfer strategy includes at least one of the following: the speed of the transfer mechanism during the transfer process, the acceleration, and the transfer time of the transfer mechanism relative to the shield.

[0063] In one embodiment, the location between the initial position and the target position includes a transit position. If the line connecting the transit position and the initial position is perpendicular to the line connecting the transit position and the target position, then the control mechanism is further configured to determine a first transfer strategy matching the initial position and the transit position, and a second transfer strategy matching the transit position and the target position; and to determine the first transfer strategy and the second transfer strategy as the target transfer strategy.

[0064] In some cases, with the transit position as the origin of the coordinate axis, the plane containing the path connecting the transit position and the target position as the x-axis, and the plane containing the path connecting the initial position and the transit position as the y-axis, and the initial position being close to and parallel to the negative half of the y-axis, the first transit strategy can be used to control the transit mechanism to transport the shield to the transit position in a direction close to the positive half of the y-axis; the second transit strategy can be used to control the transit mechanism to transport the shield to the target position horizontally from the transit position.

[0065] The method for determining the first transfer strategy that matches the initial position and the transfer position is not limited. The following examples illustrate several implementation methods.

[0066] In one embodiment, the control mechanism is further configured to determine a first transfer strategy matching the initial position and the transit position based on the mapping relationship between the transfer position and the transfer strategy, and similarly, a second transfer strategy matching the transit position and the target position can be determined. For example, if the first transfer strategy includes a transfer speed and the second transfer strategy includes a transfer path, then for the path between the initial position and the transit position, the transfer mechanism can be controlled to transfer at the transfer speed; for the path between the transit position and the target position, the transfer mechanism can be controlled to transfer according to the transfer path.

[0067] In one embodiment, the control mechanism is further configured to divide the path between the initial position and the transfer position to obtain multiple path intervals; for each path interval, the speed control strategy matching the path interval is determined as the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to the path interval; the first transfer strategy includes the sub-transfer strategies corresponding to each path interval; for each path interval, when the current position of the shield is at the start of the path interval, the control mechanism is configured to transport the shield using the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to the path interval until the shield is at the end of the path interval; wherein, the end of the path interval coincides with the start of the next adjacent path interval, and the end of the last path interval coincides with the target position.

[0068] For example, taking a path with three intervals as an example, for the first path interval, based on the acceleration strategy corresponding to the first path interval, the transfer mechanism can be controlled to accelerate and transfer the shielding body from the starting point of the first path interval to the starting point of the second path interval; for the second path interval, based on the constant speed strategy corresponding to the second path interval, the transfer mechanism can be controlled to transfer the shielding body at a constant speed from the starting point of the second path interval to the starting point of the third path interval; for the third path interval, based on the constant speed strategy corresponding to the third path interval, the transfer mechanism can be controlled to decelerate and transfer the shielding body from the starting point of the third path interval to the ending point of the third path interval.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transfer control system 10 of the nuclear reactor detector assembly may also include an image acquisition device 108, which is used to acquire environmental images of the environment in which the transfer location and the target location are located; the control mechanism 106 is also used to determine the spatial location of the shield in the environment and the location of obstacles in the environment based on the environmental images; and to determine a second transfer strategy that matches the transfer location and the target location based on the spatial location and the location of obstacles.

[0070] The type and number of image acquisition devices 108 are not limited. For example, the image acquisition device can refer to a vision camera. The number of vision cameras can be 3 sets. Then, the environment where the transfer position and the target position are located can be detected by the 3 sets of vision cameras to obtain environmental images.

[0071] The method for determining the spatial location of the shield and the location of obstacles in the environment based on environmental images is not limited. For example, the spatial location of the shield can be determined by analyzing the environmental images based on a pre-trained location recognition model; the location of obstacles in the environment can be determined based on a pre-trained obstacle recognition model and the spatial location of the shield.

[0072] The implementation method of determining the second transfer strategy that matches the transit position and the target position based on spatial location and obstacle location is not limited. For example, provided that the distance between the spatial location and the obstacle location is within a preset distance range, the target transfer path is determined based on the spatial location between the transit position and the target position, and this target transfer path is identified as the second transfer strategy that matches the transit position and the target position. Therefore, when transferring the shielding body based on the target transfer path, collisions between the shielding body and obstacles can be avoided, improving safety during the transfer process.

[0073] In some cases, in response to manual transfer events involving the transfer mechanism, if the transfer path corresponding to the manual transfer event deviates from the target transfer path, a path adjustment prompt can be output. This prompt includes the direction and angle of the path adjustment. In other words, when manually operating the transfer mechanism to transfer the shielding body, if the manually operated transfer path deviates from the target transfer path, a path adjustment prompt can be output to prevent the shielding body from colliding with obstacles.

[0074] exist Figure 1 Based on the above, in one embodiment, as shown Figure 3As shown, the shield 102 may further include: a mechanical shaft 1021, and a motor encoder 1022 and a force sensor 1023 mounted on the mechanical shaft 1021. The mechanical shaft 1021 is connected to the nuclear reactor detector assembly, allowing the nuclear reactor detector assembly to be loaded into the shield based on the mechanical shaft. The motor encoder 1022 is used to detect the movement distance of the nuclear reactor detector assembly relative to the mechanical shaft within a preset time period. The force sensor 1023 is used to detect the tension force exerted by the nuclear reactor detector assembly on the mechanical shaft within the preset time period. The control mechanism 106 is also used to determine the movement speed of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shield based on the movement distance and the preset time period; and to determine the transfer state of the nuclear reactor detector assembly based on the comparison between the movement speed and the preset speed, and the comparison between the movement tension force and the preset tension force.

[0075] The process of determining the movement speed of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shielding body based on the movement distance and the preset duration includes: determining the ratio of the movement distance to the preset duration as the movement speed of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shielding body.

[0076] The method for determining the transfer state of the nuclear reactor detector assembly based on the comparison between the movement speed and the preset speed, as well as the comparison between the movement tension and the preset tension, is not limited. Several of these methods will be illustrated below.

[0077] In one embodiment, if the speed difference between the moving speed and the preset speed is less than or equal to a first threshold, and the tension difference between the moving tension and the preset tension is less than or equal to a second threshold, the transfer state of the nuclear reactor detector assembly is determined to be a safe state.

[0078] In one embodiment, if the speed difference between the moving speed and the preset speed is less than or equal to a first threshold, and the tension difference between the moving tension and the preset tension is less than or equal to a second threshold, then if the transfer time for the shield is within the preset time range, the transfer state of the nuclear reactor detector assembly is determined to be a safe state.

[0079] In some embodiments, the transfer control system for the nuclear reactor detector assembly may further include an alarm mechanism, which is used to output a maintenance reminder signal to remind maintenance personnel to perform a safety inspection of the shielding when the control mechanism determines that the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly is an unsafe state.

[0080] In conjunction with the above, in one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a transfer control method for a nuclear reactor detector assembly is provided. Taking the application of this method to the control mechanism in the transfer control system of the nuclear reactor detector assembly as an example, it may include the following steps:

[0081] S402, Determine the target transfer strategy of the transfer mechanism for the shield.

[0082] S404, during the process of the transfer mechanism transporting the shielding body based on the target transfer strategy, the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly is determined based on the movement status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shielding body.

[0083] S406 If the transfer status is safe, then based on the target transfer strategy, continue to control the transfer mechanism to transfer the shield.

[0084] The specific details of S402-S406 can be found in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here.

[0085] based on Figure 4 The diagram shows that by using a transfer mechanism to transfer nuclear reactor detector components, transfer efficiency can be improved. The shielding can effectively shield radiation, protecting operators and the surrounding environment. Furthermore, by determining that the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector components is safe, and based on the target transfer strategy, the transfer mechanism can continue to transfer the shielding, thereby reducing the risk of radioactive material leakage during the transfer process and improving the safety of the nuclear reactor detector components during transfer.

[0086] In one embodiment, determining the implementation method of the target transfer strategy (i.e., S402) for the transfer mechanism against the shield can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0087] S502, determine a first transfer strategy that matches the initial location and the transit location, and a second transfer strategy that matches the transit location and the target location.

[0088] S504, the first transfer strategy and the second transfer strategy are determined as the target transfer strategy.

[0089] The specific details of S502-S504 can be found in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here.

[0090] based on Figure 5 The content shown demonstrates that by setting a transfer point between the initial position and the target position, the shield can be transferred in stages, which can improve the transfer accuracy.

[0091] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 The diagram shows a flow chart of a transfer control method for a nuclear reactor detector assembly, which may include the following steps:

[0092] S602, divide the path between the initial position and the intermediate position to obtain multiple path intervals.

[0093] S604, for each path interval, the speed control strategy matching the path interval is determined as the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to the path interval; the first transfer strategy includes the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to each path interval.

[0094] S606, for each path interval, when the current position of the shield is at the beginning of the path interval, control the transfer mechanism to transport the shield using the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to the path interval until the shield is at the end of the path interval.

[0095] In this case, the end point of a path interval coincides with the start point of the next adjacent path interval, and the end point of the last path interval coincides with the transfer point.

[0096] The specific details of S602-S606 can be found in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here.

[0097] based on Figure 6 The content shown demonstrates that by dividing the path between the initial position and the transfer position into multiple path intervals, and then adopting a corresponding sub-transfer strategy for each path interval, the transfer mechanism can improve the transfer accuracy when transferring the shield, ensuring that the nuclear reactor detector assembly is in a safe state during the transfer process.

[0098] In one embodiment, the implementation of determining the second transit strategy that matches the transit location and the destination location can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0099] S702, acquire environmental images of the environment where the transit location and the target location are located.

[0100] S704, based on environmental images, determines the spatial location of the shield in the environment and the location of obstacles in the environment.

[0101] S706, based on spatial location and obstacle location, determines a second transfer strategy that matches the transit location and the target location.

[0102] The specific details of S702-S706 can be found in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here.

[0103] based on Figure 7 The content shown demonstrates that by determining a second transfer strategy that matches the transfer location and the target location from the perspective of environmental images, it is possible to avoid the shield from colliding with obstacles in the environment during the transfer process, thereby improving the accuracy of transfer control.

[0104] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, a flowchart illustrating the process of determining the transport state of a nuclear reactor detector assembly based on its motion within a shielding structure is provided, including the following steps:

[0105] S802, obtain the distance the nuclear reactor detector assembly moves relative to the mechanical axis within a preset time period.

[0106] S804, acquire the motion tension of the nuclear reactor detector assembly against the mechanical axis within a preset time period.

[0107] S806 determines the speed of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shielding body based on the movement distance and preset duration.

[0108] S808 determines the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly based on the comparison between the moving speed and the preset speed, and the comparison between the moving tension and the preset tension.

[0109] The specific content of S802-S808 can be found in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here.

[0110] based on Figure 8 The content shown demonstrates that by determining the transfer status of the nuclear reactor detector assembly, the safety status during the transfer process can be monitored based on the transfer status, thereby reducing the risk of radioactive material leakage during the transfer process and improving the safety of the nuclear reactor detector assembly during transfer.

[0111] In conjunction with the above, in one embodiment, the position between the initial position and the target position includes a transit position. The line connecting the transit position and the initial position is perpendicular to the line connecting the transit position and the target position. Specifically, for example... Figure 9 As shown, a transfer control method for a nuclear reactor detector assembly is provided. Taking the application of this method to the control mechanism in the transfer control system of the nuclear reactor detector assembly as an example, it may include the following steps:

[0112] S902, divides the path between the initial position and the intermediate position to obtain multiple path intervals.

[0113] S904, for each path interval, the speed control strategy matching the path interval is determined as the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to the path interval, and the sub-transfer strategy corresponding to each path interval is determined as the first transfer strategy matching the initial position and the transfer position.

[0114] S906, acquire environmental images of the environment where the transit location and the target location are located.

[0115] S908, based on environmental images, determines the spatial location of the shield in the environment and the location of obstacles in the environment.

[0116] S910 determines a second transfer strategy that matches the transit location and the target location based on the spatial location and the location of obstacles.

[0117] S912 controls the transfer mechanism to transport the shielding body using a first transfer strategy for the path between the initial position and the transfer position.

[0118] S914, for the path between the transit location and the target location, controls the transfer mechanism to transport the shielding body using a second transfer strategy.

[0119] S916, during the process of the transfer mechanism transporting the shielding body based on the first transfer strategy and the second transfer strategy, the movement distance of the nuclear reactor detector assembly relative to the mechanical axis within a preset time period and the movement tension of the nuclear reactor detector assembly relative to the mechanical axis within a preset time period are obtained.

[0120] S918 determines the speed of the nuclear reactor detector assembly within the shielding body based on the movement distance and preset duration.

[0121] S920, if the speed difference between the moving speed and the preset speed is less than or equal to a first threshold, and the tension difference between the moving tension and the preset tension is less than or equal to a second threshold, the transfer state of the nuclear reactor detector assembly is determined to be a safe state.

[0122] S922, based on the first transfer strategy and the second transfer strategy, continues to control the transfer mechanism to transfer the shield.

[0123] The specific content of S902-S922 can be found in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here.
