[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and particularly relates to a cooling device for the winding coils of a nuclear power main pump motor. Background Art

[0002] The reactor coolant pump belongs to a key sensitive device in the primary loop of a nuclear power plant. The driving force source of this device is an air-cooled squirrel-cage induction motor, and the windings inside the motor will heat up during power operation. Currently, there is no air cooler suitable for the RSR series of nuclear power main pump motors on the market. The original equipment manufacturer of the existing equipment has gone bankrupt and been restructured, and due to long-term vibration and erosion, there have been damages, cracks, and bending phenomena, resulting in leakage of the equipment cooling water. If the existing equipment continues to deteriorate, it will be difficult to meet the operating function requirements of the nuclear power main pump motor. By then, the cooling effect of the air cooler will decrease, the temperature of the motor windings will increase, and there is a risk of burning out the main pump motor. Therefore, it is urgent to ensure the safety performance of the main pump motor during the operation of the nuclear power plant. Summary of the Invention

The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment each time, nor are they independent or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a cooling device for the motor winding coil of a nuclear power main pump shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the welded structure of a finned tube and a tube sheet shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the front cover plate structure shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the side beam connection shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the device includes: a front tube sheet 2, a rear tube sheet 5, finned tubes 4, a front cover plate 1, a front cover plate gasket 3, a rear cover plate 6, a rear cover plate gasket 7, a mesh cover 9, and side beams 8.

[0031] Each finned tube 4 includes a cooling tube bundle and a plurality of heat dissipation copper sheets. The outer side of the cooling tube bundle is fixedly connected to the plurality of heat dissipation copper sheets by welding to form a finned tube 4 in a feather-wing shape. The number of finned tubes 4 can be set according to actual heat dissipation requirements. For example, 110 finned tubes can be set.

[0032] A plurality of finned tube through holes are respectively formed on the front tube sheet 2 and the rear tube sheet 5. Each finned tube passes through the finned tube through holes oppositely arranged on the front tube sheet 2 and the rear tube sheet 5. After expansion, each finned tube 4 is in interference fit with the finned tube through hole it passes through. As Figure 2 shown, the front end of each finned tube 4 is fixedly connected to the front tube sheet 2 by welding, and the rear end of each finned tube 4 is fixedly connected to the rear tube sheet 5. Under the stabilizing effect of welding, each finned tube 4 and the two end tube sheets 2 and 5 form a stable whole.

[0033] The front cover plate 1 can be fixedly connected to the front end of the front tube sheet 2 by bolts 25, nuts 26, and pins 22. An inlet chamber is formed between the front cover plate 1 and the front tube sheet 2.

A "mouth" - shaped front cover plate gasket 7 is provided between the rear tube sheet 5 and the rear cover plate 6 to increase the structural stability between the rear tube sheet 5 and the rear cover plate 6.

[0034] The pipeline at the water outlet end of the cooling water pump is connected to the cooling water inlet N1 at the lower end of the front cover plate 1 through the long-neck flange 14 and the equipment cooling water inlet flange 15, and the pipeline at the water return end of the cooling water pump is connected to the cooling water outlet N2 at the upper end of the front cover plate 1 through the long-neck flange 14 and the equipment cooling water inlet flange 15.

[0035] Under the driving force of the equipment cooling water pump, the cooling water enters the inlet chamber from the output pipeline. As the water level of the cooling water in the inlet chamber increases, the cooling water passes through each finned tube in the order from bottom to top and enters the outlet chamber. After the outlet chamber is filled with the cooling water, the cooling water flows back to the cooling water pump through the pipeline at the water return end.

[0036] The high-temperature air dissipated from the main pump motor winding realizes the air cooling effect through heat exchange with the finned tubes. The cooled air enters the winding coil again, and the winding cooling effect is realized through the heat exchange between the cooling air and the winding coil.

[0037] The wire mesh cover 9 is fixedly connected between the front cover plate 1 and the rear cover plate 6 and covers multiple finned tubes 4 inside. The wire mesh cover 9 can be, for example, a wire mesh with dense meshes, which is used to prevent foreign objects from entering the finned tubes 4.

[0038] The fixed-end angle steel 10 located on the top side is fixedly connected to the front tube sheet 2 by bolts. The sliding-end angle steel 11 located on the top side is fixedly connected to the rear tube sheet 5 by bolts. The fixed-end angle steel 10 located on the bottom side is closely connected to the front tube sheet 2. The sliding-end angle steel 11 located on the bottom side is closely connected to the rear tube sheet 5.

[0039] The fixed-end angle steel 10 is also fixedly connected to the front end of the side beam 8 located on the top side, for example, by using the fastening structure 30. The sliding-end angle steel 11 is also fixedly connected to the end of the top-side side beam 8. The fixed-end angle steel 10 is also fixedly connected to the front end of the side beam 8 located on the bottom side. The sliding-end angle steel 11 is also fixedly connected to the end of the side beam 8 located on the bottom side. In this way, each finned tube 4, the front tube sheet 2, the rear tube sheet 5, the fixed-end angle steel 10, the sliding-end angle steel 11, and the side beam 8 are closely connected to form a stable whole.

[0040] A long-neck flange 14 is welded to each of the cooling water inlet and the cooling water outlet. The long-neck flange 14 located at the cooling water inlet is fixedly connected to the equipment cooling water inlet flange 15 by bolts and nuts, and two sealing gaskets 16 are provided between the long-neck flange 14 and the equipment cooling water inlet flange 15. The long-neck flange 14 located at the outlet is fixedly connected to the equipment cooling water inlet flange 15 by bolts and nuts, and two sealing gaskets 16 are provided between the long-neck flange 14 and the equipment cooling water inlet flange 15.

[0041] In a possible implementation manner, a cooling device for a nuclear power main pump motor winding coil provided by the present disclosure operates in the following manner.

[0042] When the motor is running, the operating temperature of the motor winding rises, generating hot air. The hot air is blown outwards under the action of the motor rotor, and the blown-out gas passes through the finned tube array of the cooling device, exchanging heat to the cooling device. The equipment cooling water in the cooling device is driven by the equipment cooling water pump and flows into the long-neck flange of the cooling device through the pipeline, and further fills the inside of each finned tube. The equipment cooling water inside each finned tube exchanges heat with the hot air through the tube wall and fins, cooling the air, and the equipment cooling water rises in temperature and returns to the cooling device for cooling. Thus, a cycle is formed to cool the motor winding.

[0043] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, the practical application, or the improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary skill in the art in this technical field to understand the disclosed embodiments.
