Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pipe system detection devices, and relates to a C-shaped heat transfer elbow detection system and an application method thereof, in particular to a C-shaped heat transfer elbow detection system for a steam generator and an application method thereof. Background Technique

[0002] As the core component of a steam generator, the heat transfer tubes of the steam generator play an important role in transferring the heat of the primary circuit to the secondary circuit to achieve water vaporization. Their size and shape design directly determine key parameters such as the heat transfer area, flow resistance, thermal stress distribution, and vibration resistance. To ensure efficient heat transfer, guarantee operation safety and stability, and further extend the service life of the equipment, relatively strict requirements are imposed on the size and shape accuracy of the heat transfer tubes.

[0003] Currently, the heat transfer tubes of steam generators generally adopt a U-shaped structure design, which has been widely used due to its advantages in space utilization and thermal expansion adaptability. To further improve performance and reduce the backflow phenomenon of steam generators, a new type of C-shaped structure heat transfer tube has been proposed in recent years, as shown below Figure 8 , and the tube bundle of each steam generator consists of two 90° elbows with the same bend radius + more than 100 kinds of tubes with different crossbeam lengths.

[0004] When detecting the size and shape of a U-shaped heat transfer tube, the traditional method usually uses a U-shaped groove flat plate with the bent tube area and about 50 mm cross beam segments adjacent to the tangent points dug out, and uses corresponding measuring tools to assist in detecting the size (bending radius, distance between two straight leg segments, cross beam segment length) and shape (profile, flatness, etc.) of the bent tube. However, for a C-shaped tube, it is obviously inappropriate to use a flat plate with a C-shaped groove dug out. The main reason is that its cross beam is relatively long, resulting in a significant increase in the manufacturing difficulty of large-sized flat plates. In addition, considering the large number of flat plates to be manufactured, the detection cost is also high. If a flat plate with two 90° bent tubes is used for detecting the bending radius of the bent tube, only two flat plates need to be made, and the operation is convenient. However, since the tangent point position of the bent tube cannot be determined, the length of the straight leg segment, the distance between the two straight leg segments, and the flatness cannot be accurately measured, making it difficult to meet the detection requirements. Therefore, developing a more efficient and accurate detection method has become one of the key research directions. The utility model patents with publication numbers CN 204286270 U "Bent Tube Detection Platform" and CN 206556566 U "A Bent Tube Detection Platform" and CN 117739776 A "A Tool for Detecting Brake Bent Tubes of Railway Freight Cars" are only applicable to the profile detection of small-sized bent tubes. Since the tangent point position of the bent tube cannot be accurately located, the length of the straight leg segment, the distance between the two straight leg segments, and the flatness cannot be detected, so they are not applicable. Although the invention with publication number CN 118482765 A "A Bent Tube Detection Device" can detect the profile, bending radius, and distance between two straight leg segments of the bent tube, the flatness cannot be detected. And if this detection method is adopted, due to the special shape of the C-shaped tube and the relatively long cross beam segment, the length can reach 3 m or more. On the one hand, the measurement process is extremely likely to cause deformation of the C-shaped tube. On the other hand, there is a risk of surface damage to the C-shaped tube at the clamping position. Summary of the Invention

[0060] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 Figure 7 shown, the positioning and adjusting mechanism 14 includes a plurality of reference holes 141 arranged longitudinally at intervals on the positioning detection table 11 and a positioning detection reference block 142 detachably inserted into any one of the reference holes on the positioning detection table 11. A horizontal support plane 1421 and a vertical limiting surface 1422 are provided on the top of the positioning detection reference block 142. When the positioning detection reference block 142 is inserted into the reference hole 141, the horizontal support plane 1421 and the bottom surface of the clamping groove 1331 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0061] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the number of reference holes 141 on the positioning and detection table 11 is one more than the number of the second set of clamping structures 13 on each moving detection table. One of the reference holes 141 is used to adjust the position of the first set of clamping structures 13, and the remaining reference holes 141 are used to adjust the position of the second set of clamping structures 13. In this embodiment, taking the 4 reference holes 141 on the positioning and detection table 11 as an example, they are sequentially named the first reference hole, the second reference hole, the third reference hole, and the fourth reference hole from front to back. The first reference hole, the second reference hole, the third reference hole, and the fourth reference hole are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction longitudinally. Among them, the second reference hole, the third reference hole, the fourth reference hole, and the positioning and detection reference block 142 can adjust the positions of the two clamping structures 13 arranged on the left and right sides respectively, so that the center lines of the guide rails 131 of the two clamping structures 13 aligned left and right in the second set are located on the same straight line longitudinally; the first reference hole and the positioning and detection reference block 142 can adjust the position of the first set of clamping structures 13, so that the centers of the clamping grooves 1331 of each clamping structure 13 in the first set are located on the same straight line transversely.

[0062] As Figure 1 shown, the C-shaped heat transfer elbow pipe detection system of the present invention further includes a level detection mechanism 15 arranged on the detection platform for detecting the level of the detection platform.

[0063] As Figure 1 shown, the level detection mechanism 15 includes a connecting frame and a level arranged on the connecting frame. The level of the detection surface can be conveniently detected through the level.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection mechanism can be an artificial measurement device, such as a magnesium-aluminum flat ruler, a feeler gauge, a length vernier caliper, etc., or an automatic ranging device, such as a laser rangefinder, etc.

[0065] An application method of a C-shaped heat transfer elbow pipe detection system of the present invention includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the two mutually parallel longitudinal slide rails 211 of the longitudinal adjustment device 21 on an installation surface, and adjust the height and level of the detection platform 1 through the detection platform adjustment mechanism 2, so that the detection surface of the detection platform 1 is in a horizontal state; The height of the detection platform in this step is adjusted according to the height of the detection personnel, usually controlled at about 70-90 cm for the convenience of the detection personnel to operate. In order to realize the adjustment of the height of the detection platform, the two longitudinal slide rails 211 of the longitudinal adjustment device 21 can be installed on an installation surface that can be vertically lifted, and the vertical height of the detection platform can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the installation surface. During the adjustment process, attention should also be paid to the level detection mechanism 15 (taking a spirit level as an example in this embodiment) on the detection platform to ensure that the entire detection platform is in a horizontal state; Step 2: Position the multiple clamping structures 13 on the moving detection table 12 by using the positioning and adjusting mechanism 14. The centers of the clamping grooves 1331 of each clamping structure 13 in the first group are located on the same horizontal line, and the center lines of the guide rails 131 of two clamping structures 13 that are horizontally aligned in the second group are located on the same vertical line, so that the multiple clamping structures jointly define a clamping path for clamping the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe. Step 3: According to the theoretical inner distance (D-X) mm between the two straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe specified in the technical requirements, adjust the position of the moving detection platform 1 by using the transverse driving device 24, and adjust the positions of each clamping structure 13 in the second group by using the positioning and adjusting mechanism 14, so that the minimum distance between the clamping groove 1331 of the second group of clamping structures 13 and the positioning reference hole is (D-X) / 2 mm; the minimum distance between the clamping groove 1331 and the positioning reference hole is the distance between the edge of the clamping groove 1331 close to the positioning detection table 11 and the center of the positioning reference hole; D is the distance between the inner walls of the two straight leg segments (i.e., the length of the cross beam segment of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe), with the unit of mm, and X is the tolerance of the inner distance between the two straight leg segments, with the unit of mm. Step 4: Place the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe to be tested in the clamping path, and judge whether the contour of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe is qualified according to the placement situation of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe to be tested; if the C-shaped pipe is placed in the clamping path in a free state, the contour of the C-shaped pipe is unqualified, otherwise it is qualified; the free state of the C-shaped heat transfer pipe is the state of the C-shaped heat transfer pipe without any external force. Step 5: Use the detection mechanism to detect the dimensional data of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe, and then calculate the straightness of the straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe, the parallelism of the two straight leg segments, the flatness of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe, and the length of the straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe according to the dimensional data; the dimensional data at least includes the gap between the straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe and the clamping grooves 1331 of each clamping structure 13, the maximum gap value between the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe and the detection plane, the lengths of the cross beam of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe to both pipe ends, and the bend radius.

[0066] In Step 2, the positioning and adjusting mechanism 14 is used to position the multiple clamping structures 13 on the moving detection table 12, so that the centers of the clamping grooves 1331 of each clamping structure 13 in the first group are located on the same horizontal line, and the following steps are carried out: Place the positioning detection reference block in the first reference hole of the middle detection platform base plate, and stably place the magnesium-aluminum straightedge on the reference block. Rotate the positioning detection reference block to make the magnesium-aluminum straightedge in a horizontal state, and then adjust the positions of each clamping structure on the left and right moving detection tables, so that the centers of the clamping grooves 1331 of each clamping structure 13 in the first group are located on the same horizontal line to ensure high straightness of the cross beam segment of the C-shaped heat transfer bent pipe.

[0067] In Step 2, the positioning and adjusting mechanism 14 is used to position the multiple clamping structures 13 on the moving detection table 12, so that the centerlines of the guide rails 131 of the two clamping structures 13 that are horizontally aligned left and right in the second group are located on the same straight line longitudinally. The following steps are carried out: Place the positioning and detection reference blocks into the reference holes of the positioning and detection table in sequence; Place the magnesium-aluminum straightedge on the top of the positioning and detection reference block. Since the top of the positioning and detection reference block is stepped, the magnesium-aluminum straightedge can be abutted against the horizontal support plane 1421 and the vertical limiting surface 1422, ensuring the accuracy of the placement position of the magnesium-aluminum straightedge; Rotate the positioning and detection reference block so that the magnesium-aluminum straightedge is parallel to the guide rails on the left and right sides. At this time, it can be ensured that the centerlines of the guide rails 131 of the two clamping structures 13 that are horizontally aligned left and right in the second group are located on the same straight line longitudinally, and the entire detection platform is in a horizontal state.

[0068] In Step 3, according to the inner side spacing (D-X) mm of the two straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow specified in the technical requirements, adjust the position of the moving detection platform 1 by using the transverse driving device 24. The following method is adopted: Adjust the left moving detection table 12 to an approximate position; Insert the positioning and detection reference block into the second reference hole; Place the length vernier caliper on the positioning and detection reference block; Rotate the positioning and detection reference block so that the length vernier caliper is perpendicular to the guide rail of the second group of clamping structures; Loosen the positioning screw 1334, finely adjust the position of the claw, and adjust the minimum distance between the right edge of the rectangular groove of the claw and the center of the second reference hole to (D-X) / 2 mm. Tighten the positioning screw 1334. At this time, the position adjustment of the clamping groove 1331 is completed; Repeat the same steps until the position adjustment of the clamping grooves 1331 of the three clamping structures 13 on the left moving detection platform 1 is completed.

[0069] Taking a C-shaped heat transfer elbow for a certain steam generator as an example for detection, the size data measured by using a feeler gauge in the application method includes the gaps between the straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow and the clamping grooves 1331 of the respective clamping structures 13. If the measured inner side gaps between the clamping grooves and the two straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow are X1, X2, X3, Y1, Y2, Y3 respectively, then the actual inner side spacing of the two straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow is (D-X) + max{(X1 + Y1), (X2 + Y2), (X3 + Y2)}; where X1, X2, X3 are the inner side gaps of one straight leg segment, and Y1, Y2, Y3 are the inner side gaps of the other straight leg segment; The straightness of the two straight leg segments is respectively max(X1, X2, X3) - min(X1, X2, X3) and max(Y1, Y2, Y3) - min(Y1, Y2, Y3); The parallelism of the two straight leg segments is ∣max(X1, X2, X3) - min(X1, X2, X3) - {max(Y1, Y2, Y3) - min(Y1, Y2, Y3)}∣; Measure the length A of the straight leg segment (unit: mm). According to the formula C = A + R, the C value of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow (unit: mm) can be calculated, where R is the radius of the 90° elbow (unit: mm).

[0070] Use a feeler gauge to measure the maximum clearance value between the C-shaped heat transfer elbow and the detection plane, and this value is the flatness of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow; Figure 9 Among them, S is the wall thickness of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow (unit: mm), E is the diameter of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow (unit: mm), B is the distance between the two straight leg segments, B = D + 2R, unit: mm. As Figure 10 shown, for each adjustment of a group of C-shaped heat transfer elbows, first use a vernier caliper to measure the length h1 from the clamping groove of the crossbeam segment to the bottommost clamping structure on the moving detection table. For each detection of a C-shaped elbow, only the length h2 from the pipe end to the same bottommost clamping structure on the moving detection table needs to be measured, and then use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance h3 between the C-shaped heat transfer elbow and the clamping groove at the crossbeam. Then the length A of the straight leg segment is h1 + h2 - h3 - R - E / 2.

[0071] The elbow radius can be detected by a flat plate with a 90° elbow cut out, only one piece is needed. The C-shaped heat transfer elbows are detected by the above method, and the evaluation data are shown in Table 1.

[0072] Table 1 Note: A1 and A2 respectively represent the lengths of the two straight leg segments of the C-shaped heat transfer elbow, unit: mm; △A is the length difference between the two straight leg segments, unit: mm.

[0073] This application can provide a large-area detection platform, which is convenient for measuring large-size C-shaped heat transfer pipes, especially suitable for C-shaped heat transfer pipes with a long crossbeam length; the position of the clamping jaws can be adjusted on the detection platform to be applicable to the size and shape measurement of C-shaped elbows with different elbow radii and different crossbeam lengths. It has a wide range of applications, convenient operation, high detection accuracy, and the actual measurement accuracy can reach ±0.1 mm. Further, it can be adapted to plane pipes of other shapes.
