The platform body 51 of the load-bearing platform 5 is mainly used for placing the components to be disassembled and can smoothly discharge the sewage generated during cutting. Therefore, the platform body 51 is in a hollow shape. To facilitate the wire saw of the diamond wire saw machine 3 to completely penetrate the heavy concrete component, the upper side of the platform body 51 is in a rectangular convex shape, forming a plurality of grooves 512 for the wire saw of the diamond wire saw machine 3 to pass through. The overall size is about 2600×2600×195 mm, and the weight is about 1800 kg.

[0044] Support sleeves 511 are movably sleeved on the outside of the driving screw 510 near the middle of the platform body 51 and on the outside near the coupling 55 through bearings. The top of the support sleeve 511 is connected to the bottom of the platform body 51; through the two support sleeves 511, the driving screw 510 can be supported to facilitate the rotation of the driving screw 510.

[0047] The top of the support plate 513 is connected with a flexible fixture 54. A plurality of grooves 512 are respectively penetrated and opened on both sides of the top of the table body 51. Through the grooves 512, the passing of an external wire saw is facilitated; through the flexible fixture 54, workpieces of different shapes and sizes can be quickly adapted, and there is no need to frequently replace special fixtures.

[0048] The cooling water circulator 4 includes a water storage tank 42 and a spiral conveyor 46. The spiral conveyor 46 is used in cooperation with the water collection tank outlet of the frame 1. One end of the spiral conveyor 46 is connected with a water collection tank 45. The water inlet end of the water storage tank 42 is connected with a filter 43. The water outlet end of the water storage tank 42 is connected with a booster pump 41. The bottoms of the water storage tank 42, the booster pump 41 and the filter 43 are all connected to the top of the frame 1. The water inlet end of the filter 43 extends into the interior of the water collection tank 45 and is connected with a submersible pump 44. The water outlet end of the booster pump 41 is connected with the diamond wire saw machine 3 through a flexible connecting pipe; the mating surface of the spiral conveyor 46 and the water collection tank outlet of the frame 1 forms a certain angle, facilitating the sewage to flow into the water collection tank 45 from the far end of the spiral conveyor 46. After the spiral conveyor 46 is started, the concrete slag is discharged from the proximal outlet, realizing the separation of waste water. A submersible pump 44 is arranged in the water collection tank 45 to press the sewage into the filter 43 and recycle it into the water storage tank 42.

[0049] During use, the rolling skylight 10 of the air tent 2 is opened, and a heavy concrete component is hoisted by a gantry crane and placed on the load-bearing platform 5. Subsequently, the driving motor 56 operates to drive the flexible fixture 54 towards the heavy concrete component, and the flexible fixture 54 is used to lock the heavy concrete component. The gantry crane drives away and the rolling skylight 10 is closed. The X-direction driving beam 9 and the Y-direction driving frame 7 are started to adjust the position of the diamond wire saw 3. After reaching the predetermined position, the diamond wire saw 3 is started for cutting. At the same time, the cooling water circulator 4 is turned on, and the booster pump 41 pumps out the water in the water storage tank 42 for cooling the diamond wire saw 3 and spraying it at the cutting position. The sewage generated by cutting flows into the water collection tank 45 from the distal end of the screw conveyor 46. The screw conveyor 46 is started, and the concrete slag is discharged from the proximal outlet to achieve wastewater separation. A submersible pump 44 is arranged in the water collection tank 45 to press the sewage into the filter 43 and recycle it to the water storage tank 42, and at the same time, the concrete slag can be collected; further, the radioactive dust in the sewage can be recovered to prevent it from leaking into the external environment; furthermore, the recycling of cooling water generally reduces the total amount of wastewater containing radioactive dust, and the burden and cost of subsequent sewage treatment will also be reduced. After cutting is completed, the rolling skylight 10 of the air tent 2 is opened, and the component is hoisted out of the secondary disassembly device by a gantry crane. The above process is remotely monitored and controlled by the staff through the remote operation control unit.

[0050] In summary, for the cutting process flow and system of the reactor heavy concrete component, through the above process flow and the coordinated use of the frame 1, the air tent 2, the diamond wire saw 3, the cooling water circulator 4, the load-bearing platform 5, the Y-direction driving frame 7, the X-direction driving beam 9, the rolling skylight 10, the downward driving frame 6 and the Y-direction moving frame 11, it solves the problem that when the reactor heavy concrete component is cut, the cooling water cannot be separated from the concrete slag, resulting in the direct discharge of the used cooling water, causing waste of water resources. At the same time, the used cooling water contains a large amount of radioactive dust, and these dusts are directly discharged into the external environment, which is prone to large-area pollution.
