[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, a connecting device for the jacking shaft oil pump pipeline joint of the main coolant pump of a nuclear reactor provided by the present invention includes: a fuel tank wall 6, a check valve 9, an inlet pipeline joint 10, and a super diversion joint 13.

[0028] The inlet pipeline 11 is connected to the check valve 9 through the inlet pipeline joint 10; the super diversion joint 13 penetrates the fuel tank wall 6. An external thread is provided on the outside of the super diversion joint 13, and the external thread matches the internal thread provided inside the fuel tank wall 6. The super diversion joint 13 is threadedly connected to the fuel tank wall 6.

[0029] The tail of the super diversion joint 13 is threadedly connected to the check valve 9, and the connection between the tail of the super diversion joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6 is tightened through the check valve 9.

[0030] The head of the super flow guide joint 13 is connected to the outlet pipeline 1 through the right-angle joint 2, and the super flow guide joint 13, the right-angle joint 2, and the outlet pipeline 1 are respectively connected by threads.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a super nut 12 is provided between the tail of the super flow guide joint 13 and the check valve 9. The internal thread of the super nut 12 matches the external thread of the super flow guide joint 13. The tail of the super flow guide joint 13 is connected to the super nut 12 by threads, and the connection between the tail of the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6 is tightened by the super nut 12.

[0032] In another preferred embodiment, a gasket A5 is provided between the head of the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6. The head of the super flow guide joint 13 is connected to the fuel tank wall 6 by threads and presses the gasket A5, so that the seal between the head of the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6 is good.

[0033] In another preferred embodiment, a gasket B8 is provided between the tail of the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6. The gasket B8 is located inside the super nut 12. The tail of the super flow guide joint 13 presses the gasket B8 by the threads of the super nut 12, so that the seal between the tail of the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6 is good.

[0034] The external thread of the super flow guide joint 13 is set to match the thread of the fuel tank wall 6. On the one hand, it can play a guiding role to avoid the vibration of the structure during operation and affect the service life. On the other hand, it can play a fastening role for the two ends of the joint to avoid the loosening of the joint. It is avoided to install the flow guide joints on both sides of the fuel tank wall in the original joint device. Since the connection reliability between the flow guide joint and the fuel tank wall depends on the thread precision of the fuel tank wall, and through years of experience, it is found that the thread of the fuel tank wall is unreliable, resulting in easy thread slipping and then the joint breaking off. At the same time, the super flow guide joint 13 is set as a component penetrating the fuel tank wall 6, which completely solves the possible leakage risk points at the connection between the flow guide joint and the fuel tank wall when installing the flow guide joints on both sides of the fuel tank wall, and also eliminates the possibility of the flow guide joint and the fuel tank wall breaking off.

[0035] By adopting a threaded connection between the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6, the thread between the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6 no longer bears the oil pressure in the oil pipe, but only plays a guiding role and a small part of the pre-tightening force for the sealing requirement between the super flow guide joint 13 and the gasket A5. The oil pressure in the pipeline is directly borne by the inside of the super flow guide joint 13, which greatly improves the safety and stability of the pipeline and the joint.

[0036] A super nut 12 is provided at the tail of the super flow guide joint 13, so that the component 12 and the component 13 can be firmly and tightly combined together, and the situation that the super flow guide joint 13 and the fuel tank wall 6 may become loose is eliminated.

[0037] By adopting a threaded connection between the super flow guiding joint 13 and the super nut 12, the super nut 12 mainly bears the pre-tightening force required for sealing between the super flow guiding joint 13 and the gasket B8.

[0038] In another preferred embodiment, a sealing ring 3 is provided between the head of the super flow guiding joint 13 and the right-angle joint 2. The head of the super flow guiding joint 13 presses the sealing ring 3 tightly through the right-angle joint 2, and good sealing between the head of the super flow guiding joint 13 and the right-angle joint 2 is achieved through the sealing ring 3.

[0039] In another preferred embodiment, the head of the super flow guiding joint 13 is a hexagonal head for wrench tightening. A sealing groove for the sealing ring 3 is provided at the waist of the super flow guiding joint 13, and an external thread for cooperation between the oil tank wall 6 and the super nut 12 is provided outside. A channel for lubricating oil is provided in the middle of the screw of the super flow guiding joint 13, and two small through holes are provided at the channel outlet for the lubricating oil to flow out. The size of the small through holes matches the required lubricating oil flow rate.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, a hexagonal head square is provided outside the super nut 12, which is convenient for using a wrench for tightening.

[0041] Adopting a connection device for the jacking oil pump pipeline joint of the main coolant pump of a nuclear reactor provided by the present invention, a method for joint connection specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Install the super flow guiding joint 13 and thread-connect the super flow guiding joint 13 with the oil tank wall 6;

[0043] Completely penetrate the super flow guiding joint 13 through the oil tank wall 6, and adopt a threaded connection between the super flow guiding joint 13 and the oil tank wall 6. At this time, the thread between the super flow guiding joint 13 and the oil tank wall 6 no longer bears the oil pressure in the oil pipe, but only plays a guiding role and a small part of the pre-tightening force required for sealing between the super flow guiding joint 13 and the gasket A5. The oil pressure in the pipeline is directly borne by the inside of the super flow guiding joint 13. Greatly improves the safety and stability of the pipeline and the joint.

[0044] Step 2: Install the super nut 12 and thread-connect the super nut 12 with the super flow guiding joint 13;

[0045] The super flow guiding joint 13 and the super nut 12 are thread-connected, and the super nut 12 mainly bears the pre-tightening force required for sealing between the super flow guiding joint 13 and the gasket B8.

[0046] Step 3: Install the inlet pipeline 11;

[0047] Cut the length of the inlet pipeline 11 adaptively and then perform joint welding.

[0048] The present invention has been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art. The content not described in detail in the present invention can all adopt the prior art.
