Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of radioactive waste treatment, and in particular provides a radioactive waste treatment workstation, which is particularly suitable for treating large and heavy radioactive waste. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of large-scale nuclear facilities (such as nuclear power plants), a large amount of radioactively contaminated metal materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, and copper, are generated. Unlike general radioactive contamination, the radioactive contamination of metal materials is more complex. When metals are exposed to radioactive environments for a long time, radionuclides can penetrate deep into the metal surface layer, forming strong fixed contamination.

[0003] Furthermore, large nuclear facilities also replace or remove large amounts of radioactive metal waste during their operation and decommissioning phases. This type of metal waste is often heavy and thick, making it difficult to transport and handle. These large radioactive metal wastes are typically stored centrally within nuclear power plants. As radioactive waste accumulates, it significantly occupies space within the plant, impacting normal operations and maintenance.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and can refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application based on specific circumstances.

[0065] In response to the needs of large-scale radioactive waste treatment in nuclear power plants, an embodiment of the present application provides a radioactive waste treatment workstation. The workstation adopts a variety of new designs to achieve the containment of large-scale radioactive metal waste and reduce dependence on the original facilities of the nuclear power plant-related buildings. It can independently cut, reduce the volume and prepare large-scale radioactive metal waste, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent smelting and recycling of metal waste.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application provides a radioactive waste treatment workstation, comprising: a treatment device 100 and a preparation device 200. The treatment device 100 comprises a first housing 101 and a gantry operation module 102. The gantry operation module 102 comprises a gantry 103 and an operation robot arm 104. The gantry 103 is arranged in the first housing 101 and can reciprocate along the length direction X of the first housing 101. The operation robot arm 104 is arranged on the gantry 103 and can reciprocate along the width direction Y of the first housing 101 for volume reduction of radioactive waste. The preparation device 200 comprises a second housing 201 and a lifting module 202. The second housing 201 is arranged on the first housing 101. The lifting module 202 is arranged in the second housing 201 for lifting the treated radioactive waste.

[0067] Specifically, the first housing 101 can be a container, serving as the main structure of the processing apparatus 100 and providing an operating space for the gantry operation module 102. The gantry 103 of the gantry operation module 102 can move along the length direction X of the first housing 101, thereby driving the synchronous movement of the operation robot arm 104 on the gantry 103. The operation robot arm 104 itself can also move along the width direction Y of the first housing 101. In this way, the operation robot arm 104 can move in multiple directions, thereby effectively increasing the coverage area of the operation area and ensuring comprehensive operations on radioactive waste, such as cutting and other volume reduction treatments.

[0068] The second box 201 can be a container, serving as the main structure of the preparation device 200. The second box 201 is located above the first box 101 and provides operating space for the lifting module 202. The lifting module 202 is mainly used to lift the treated radioactive waste for subsequent transportation or storage.

[0069] During operation, the radioactive waste to be treated is first placed in the first box 101 of the treatment device 100. The gantry 103 is then controlled to move along the length direction X of the first box 101, and the operating robot arm 104 is controlled to move along the width direction Y, so as to flexibly adjust the position of the operating robot arm 104 to adapt to the size of the radioactive waste and perform precise operations. The operating robot arm 104 performs a preset volume reduction task, such as cutting the radioactive waste to reduce its volume. This process does not require the rotation of the radioactive waste, so it is particularly suitable for treating large, heavy and thick-walled radioactive metal waste. After the treatment is completed, the lifting module 202 lifts the reduced-volume radioactive waste and prepares it for the next step of treatment or storage.

[0070] It should be noted that large radioactive metal waste is heavy and thick-walled, making it difficult to transport and handle. In existing technologies, waste volume reduction is achieved by installing a cutting mechanism and a rotating mechanism within the operating box. Due to the limited coverage of the cutting mechanism itself, it must be used in conjunction with a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism carries and drives the radioactive metal waste to fully cover the surface of the radioactive metal waste. However, the rotating mechanism has limited carrying capacity, high losses, and low efficiency. Furthermore, since the cutting mechanism is fixed and cannot move on its own, it needs to rotate to cut different parts of the waste. Large radioactive metal waste may fill the entire box, leaving no room for rotation and movement. When the rotating mechanism rotates, the waste will hit the inner wall of the box. Therefore, existing treatment methods are not suitable for large and heavy radioactive metals.

[0071] The present application adopts an overall movable gantry operation module 102, which enables effective volume reduction (such as cutting) operations to be performed without moving or rotating the radioactive waste. That is, during the volume reduction operation, there is no need to move or rotate the radioactive waste, and only the gantry operation module 102 needs to be moved. This is efficient and convenient, and can effectively increase the coverage area and flexibility of the operation area, and is particularly suitable for processing different large radioactive wastes. And by adopting a frame structure such as a gantry 103, the space occupied by it in the box can be reduced as much as possible, freeing up the operation space, avoiding interference with large radioactive waste, and facilitating the processing of large radioactive waste in the box. In addition, the processing process is completed in a closed box, without exposing the operating space to the nuclear power plant, thereby ensuring the closedness and safety of the processing process.

[0072] Therefore, the radioactive waste treatment workstation provided in the embodiment of the present application, by adopting the above-mentioned modular structural design, can efficiently and safely treat large radioactive metal waste.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gantry operation module 102 also includes: a first track 105 and a first driving mechanism. The first track 105 is arranged in the first box body 101 along the length direction X of the first box body 101, and a gantry 103 is provided on the first track 105; the first driving mechanism is connected to the gantry 103 and is used to drive the gantry 103 to move back and forth along the first track 105.

[0074] Specifically, two first rails 105 can be provided, and the two first rails 105 are arranged side by side and spaced apart on both sides of the first box body 101 along the width direction Y of the first box body 101. The rail structure can provide physical support and a movement path for the gantry 103. The first drive mechanism is responsible for providing driving force to enable the gantry 103 to reciprocate on the two first rails 105.

[0075] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the gantry 103 includes two support arms 106 and a crossbeam 107 connected between the two support arms 106. The two support arms 106 are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the width direction Y of the first box body 101, and are arranged one by one on the first track 105; the first driving mechanism includes a first roller 108 and a first motor 109. The first roller 108 is provided at the bottom of the support arm 106, and the first motor 109 is connected to the first roller 108 for driving the first roller 108 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the gantry 103.

[0076] As can be appreciated, the first drive mechanism precisely controls the position of gantry 103, enabling precise positioning of the radioactive waste treatment location. This not only improves the accuracy of volume reduction operations (e.g., cutting) but also allows for flexible processing of waste of varying sizes and shapes. Furthermore, all driving actions are performed by the first drive mechanism according to preset programs or real-time instructions, reducing the need for human intervention and thereby lowering the risk of personnel exposure to the radioactive environment.

[0077] Furthermore, because the gantry 103 can move quickly and smoothly along the first track 105, the entire operation process is more efficient. Furthermore, the operating robot arm 104 is mounted on the crossbeam 107 of the gantry 103. As the gantry 103 moves, it can cover a larger working area without adjusting the position of the waste. This design, by adjusting the position of the gantry operation module 102, allows it to adapt to different sizes and types of radioactive waste treatment tasks, especially for the effective volume reduction of waste that is difficult to handle or particularly large.

[0078] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application significantly improves the functionality and operational flexibility of the gantry operation module 102, ensuring high precision, efficiency and safety of the large-scale radioactive waste treatment process.

[0079] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the gantry 103 includes: a beam 107, which extends along the width direction Y of the first box body 101, and operating robotic arms 104 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the beam 107 along the thickness direction Z, and the operating robotic arms 104 can move back and forth along the length direction of the beam 107.

[0080] Specifically, the crossbeam 107 extends along the width direction Y of the first housing 101, ensuring that it covers the maximum width of the treatment area. This layout provides ample operating space for the robotic arms 104. Furthermore, the robotic arms 104 are positioned on opposite sides of the crossbeam 107 in the thickness direction Z, enabling them to simultaneously process radioactive waste from multiple angles.

[0081] It is understood that by configuring the operating manipulators 104 on both sides of the beam 107 and enabling them to work independently or collaboratively, more tasks, such as cutting, can be completed simultaneously. This not only increases processing capacity but also improves processing efficiency, making it particularly suitable for reducing the volume of large waste. Furthermore, placing the operating manipulators 104 on both sides of the beam 107 can effectively reduce interference between the operating manipulators 104 when performing tasks. This ensures that even if the operating manipulators 104 on both sides operate simultaneously, their respective operations can proceed smoothly, without interfering with each other's work due to space limitations. Furthermore, because the operating manipulators 104 can move to both ends along the length of the beam 107, they can cover a wider operating area, which is particularly important for processing large and irregularly shaped radioactive waste. By combining with the movable gantry 103, both horizontal and vertical operating requirements can be met.

[0082] Therefore, by installing movable manipulators 104 on either side of the crossbeam 107 of the gantry 103, the present embodiment significantly enhances the functionality and efficiency of the radioactive waste treatment workstation. This not only better accommodates the processing needs of large waste, but also ensures the efficient and safe completion of complex volume reduction tasks, providing strong support for the effective management and disposal of radioactive waste within nuclear facilities.

[0083] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the gantry 103 also includes: a second rail 110 and a second driving mechanism 111, and second rails 110 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the beam 107 along the thickness direction Z, and an operating robot arm 104 is provided on the second rail 110; each operating robot arm 104 is connected to the second driving mechanism 111, and the second driving mechanism 111 is used to drive the operating robot arm 104 to move back and forth and operate along the second rail 110.

[0084] Specifically, second rails 110 are provided on opposite sides of the crossbeam 107 along its thickness direction Z. These rails provide specific operating paths for the corresponding working arms 104. Each working arm 104 is connected to a second drive mechanism 111, which is responsible for driving the corresponding working arm 104 to reciprocate along the second rails 110 and perform specific working tasks.

[0085] For example, the second driving mechanism 111 includes a controller, a second motor and a second roller. The controller is connected to the operating robot arm 104 and the second motor. The second motor is connected to the second roller. The second roller is clamped on the second track 110. The operating robot arm can be controlled by the controller to perform operations, and the second motor can be controlled to drive the second roller to roll, thereby realizing the movement and volume reduction operation of the operating robot arm 104.

[0086] As can be appreciated, the second drive mechanism 111 precisely controls the position and movement of the operating manipulator arms 104, enabling highly accurate control of the radioactive waste treatment process. This not only improves operational accuracy but also enables more efficient completion of complex volume reduction tasks. Furthermore, since each operating manipulator arm 104 has an independent second drive mechanism 111 controlling its movement along the second track 110, the movements of multiple operating manipulator arms 104 can be better coordinated to avoid mutual interference. Furthermore, this design supports the simultaneous operation of multiple operating manipulator arms 104, significantly improving overall work efficiency.

[0087] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application greatly enhances the operational flexibility and accuracy of the operating robot arm 104, enabling the processing workstation to effectively handle large and heavy radioactive waste.

[0088] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the working robot arm 104 includes: a robot arm 112 and a working tool head 113. A quick-release plug is provided at the end of the robot arm 112; the working tool head 113 is detachably connected to the quick-release plug.

[0089] Specifically, the robotic arm 112 serves as the primary operating arm, and its end is equipped with a quick-release plug for quickly connecting to various tool heads 113. Tool heads 113 include, but are not limited to, laser heads, flame cutting torches, plasma cutting torches, hydraulic shears, and clamp saws, and can be selected and replaced based on specific task requirements.

[0090] By quickly switching between different working tool heads 113, the robotic arm 112 can perform a variety of volume reduction operations, such as cutting and shearing. This design allows a single device to adapt to a variety of processing needs, improving equipment utilization and flexibility. Furthermore, the quick-release plug design allows the working tool head 113 to be replaced in a short period of time, significantly reducing preparation time and improving overall work efficiency. This is particularly important when frequently changing processing methods.

[0091] It's understood that the most appropriate tool head can be selected based on the specific material and size of the waste, as well as the desired volume reduction method. For example, a plasma torch can be used for thicker metal waste, while a laser head can be used for tasks requiring high-precision cutting. Because different functions are concentrated in the replaceable tool head 113 rather than the entire robotic arm 112, if a tool head wears out or malfunctions, only the corresponding tool head needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0092] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application not only significantly improves the versatility and work efficiency of the equipment, but also enhances the adaptability to various complex processing tasks by configuring the working robot arm 104 with a quick-release plug and a variety of replaceable working tool heads 113.

[0093] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the first box body 101 has a first side 114 and a second side 115 along the width direction Y, the first side 114 is provided with a first box door 116 that can be opened or closed, and the second side 115 is provided with a second box door 117 that can be opened or closed; the processing device 100 also includes a transmission module 118, the transmission module 118 is arranged in the first box body 101 along the length direction X of the first box body 101, and is passed through the gantry 103, and the two ends of the transmission module 118 extend to the first box door 116 and the second box door 117 respectively, for transmitting radioactive waste.

[0094] Specifically, the doors on both sides of the first box 101 allow radioactive waste to enter and exit the box easily from both sides. This dual-door design not only increases the flexibility of waste transportation but also optimizes the processing process. Furthermore, the doors can be opened and closed manually or automatically, ensuring the box remains sealed during the processing process and preventing the leakage of radioactive materials.

[0095] The specific type of the transport module 118 of the present application is not particularly limited; for example, it may be a transport track, a conveyor belt, or a conveyor roller. The primary function of the transport module 118 is to carry and move radioactive waste. Radioactive waste can be loaded onto the transport module 118 and enter or exit the first housing 101 through the housing door. Furthermore, the transport module 118 extends beneath the gantry 103. The design of the transport module 118 is tightly integrated with the gantry 103, fully utilizing the space within the first housing 101 and ensuring that the operating robot arm 104 can perform volume reduction operations while the radioactive waste is located on the transport module 118 without interference.

[0096] During operation, radioactive waste can enter the first box body 101 through the first box door 116 and be loaded onto the transmission module 118. The transmission module 118 moves the radioactive waste along the length direction X of the first box body 101 to a designated position for volume reduction treatment by the gantry operation module 102. The gantry 103 drives the operating robot arm 104 to move above the transmission module 118 to perform cutting or other volume reduction operations on the radioactive waste. Since the transmission module 118 runs through the bottom of the gantry 103, the radioactive waste can complete multiple processing steps without leaving the transmission module 118, which simplifies the operation process. After the processing is completed, the scattered waste can be lifted and concentrated onto the transmission module 118 by the lifting module 202, and the waste can be moved to the second box door 117 by the transmission module 118, and the waste can be transported out of the first box body 101 through the second box door 117. Therefore, the transmission module 118 of the present application runs through the entire first box body 101, connecting the first box door 116 and the second box door 117, allowing waste to enter from one side and exit from the other side after processing, forming a smooth processing line. This design reduces the number of times waste must be moved within the box, significantly improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, the double-sided door design allows waste to enter and exit from either side, making it easy to adjust the processing flow according to actual needs. The flexibility of the transmission module 118 also supports multiple round trips of waste within the box to meet complex processing needs.

[0097] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application significantly improves the operating efficiency and flexibility of the radioactive waste treatment workstation by introducing the transfer module 118 and combining it with a double-sided door design.

[0098] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the first box body 101 has a first side 114 and a second side 115 along the width direction Y, the first side 114 is provided with a first box door 116 that can be opened or closed, and the second side 115 is provided with a second box door 117 that can be opened or closed; the processing device 100 also includes a decontamination module (not shown in the figure) for decontamination of radioactive waste, the decontamination module can enter or move out of the first box body 101 through the first box door 116, and the gantry 103 can enter or move out of the first box body 101 through the second box door 117.

[0099] Specifically, the decontamination module is equipped with functions such as spraying decontamination foam, cleaning agents or high-pressure jets, and is specifically used for decontamination of radioactive waste. The module is designed to be movable and can easily enter or move out of the first box body 101 through the first box door 116, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. The gantry 103 and its operating robot arm 104 are mainly used for volume reduction treatment (such as cutting, etc.) of radioactive waste. The gantry 103 is designed to be able to enter or move out of the first box body 101 from the second box door 117 to ensure that it is independent of the operation of the decontamination module to avoid mutual interference. This not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the risk of operational errors or equipment damage caused by cross-use of equipment.

[0100] During operation, radioactive waste can enter the first box body 101 through the first box door 116, be loaded onto the transfer module 118, and be moved to a designated location for decontamination or volume reduction treatment. When decontamination treatment is required, the decontamination module enters the first box body 101 through the first box door 116. The decontamination module uses methods such as spraying decontamination foam, cleaning agents or high-pressure jets to decontaminate the surface of the waste and remove radioactive contaminants. After the treatment is completed, the decontamination module and the decontaminated waste can be moved out of the first box body 101 through the first box door 116. When the waste needs to be reduced in volume, the gantry 103 enters the first box body 101 through the second box door 117. The operating robot arm 104 on the gantry 103 performs volume reduction operations such as cutting on the waste to reduce the volume of the waste. After the treatment is completed, the gantry 103 can be moved out of the first box body 101 through the second box door 117 to facilitate equipment inspection, maintenance or transportation.

[0101] Therefore, the present embodiment of the present invention achieves efficient integration of two primary treatment methods, decontamination and volume reduction, within a closed system by introducing different access paths for the decontamination module and gantry 103. This design enables the workstation to flexibly select treatment methods based on actual needs, meeting the requirements of different types of radioactive waste treatment.

[0102] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the preparation device 200 further includes: a waste box 119 , which is disposed in the first box body 101 , and a lifting module 202 is used to lift the processed radioactive waste into the waste box 119 .

[0103] Specifically, the waste bin 119 is arranged in the first box body 101, which makes full use of the existing space and avoids the problem of additional land occupation. This compact layout is conducive to maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the work site and is easy to manage and operate. In addition, the waste after volume reduction treatment can be accurately placed in the waste bin 119 for preparation through the lifting module 202. In the waste bin 119, the waste can be classified and stored according to type, size or treatment status, which is convenient for subsequent storage, transportation or further processing. After the waste bin 119 is full, it can be removed from the first box body 101 by appropriate handling equipment and sent to a designated location for long-term storage or smelting and recycling.

[0104] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting module 202 includes: a truss 203, a lifting mechanism 204 and a grabbing mechanism 205. The truss 203 is arranged at the upper part of the second box body 201 and extends along the length direction X of the first box body 101; the lifting mechanism 204 is movably arranged on the truss 203; the grabbing mechanism 205 is detachably connected to the end of the lifting mechanism 204 for grabbing radioactive waste.

[0105] Specifically, two trusses 203 can be provided, parallel to the transport module 118, providing a running track for the lifting mechanism 204, ensuring its horizontal movement throughout the processing area. The lifting mechanism 204 can be a small overhead crane with a sling, a winch, or other equipment. The gripping mechanism 205 is mounted at the end of the sling of the lifting mechanism 204, and can be equipped with a suitable gripping tool, such as a mechanical gripper or a magnetic gripper, depending on the type of waste. During operation, the lifting mechanism 204 can drive the gripping mechanism 205 to perform horizontal and vertical movements, thereby grabbing the cut waste blocks and hoisting them into the waste bin for storage.

[0106] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application significantly improves the operational flexibility and efficiency of the radioactive waste treatment workstation through the design of the lifting module 202.

[0107] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the first box body 101 and the second box body 201 are detachably connected.

[0108] Specifically, a removable cover is provided on the top of the first box body 101, and a removable bottom plate is provided on the bottom of the second box body 201, and the positions of the cover and the bottom plate correspond to each other. When the second box body 201 is assembled on the first box body 101, the cover on the top of the first box body 101 and the bottom plate at the bottom of the second box body 201 are removed so that the two boxes are connected, so that the lifting rope of the lifting mechanism 204 and the grabbing mechanism 205 in the second box body 201 can be extended into the first box body 101 to grab radioactive waste.

[0109] The first and second housings 101 and 201 can be connected using bolts, clips, flanges, or other mechanical connections. The specific design should meet strength requirements while facilitating disassembly and reassembly. The first and second housings 101 and 201 function as independent functional modules that can be flexibly combined or separated based on actual needs. This design allows the entire workstation to be broken down into multiple modules, facilitating transportation, installation, and maintenance.

[0110] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, when the radioactive waste treatment workstation is in an idle state, the first box body 101 and the second box body 201 are stacked.

[0111] Specifically, the first and second housings 101 and 201 utilize a detachable connection design and can be stably stacked together when not in use. This stacking method utilizes a dedicated support structure or locking device to ensure a secure connection between the upper and lower housings, preventing them from sliding or tipping over. Thanks to its modular design, the first and second housings 101 and 201 can be easily separated and reassembled to accommodate varying operational needs. When stacked, each housing retains its independent functionality, ready for reactivation at any time.

[0112] When the radioactive waste treatment station is no longer in use, the internal equipment (such as the gantry module 102 and the lifting module 202) can be properly placed and powered off. Then, the first and second boxes 101 and 201 can be stacked according to the pre-defined design. For example, the lighter second box 201 can be placed on top, while the heavier first box 101 is placed on the bottom to ensure overall stability.

[0113] Therefore, by introducing a stacking design, the embodiments of this application enable the radioactive waste treatment workstation to effectively reduce the space occupied by the nuclear power plant during its inactivity period while maintaining a high degree of flexibility and safety. This design not only optimizes space utilization but also improves the overall management efficiency of the equipment.

[0114] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottoms of the first box body 101 and the second box body 201 are both provided with moving mechanisms (not shown in the figure).

[0115] Specifically, the specific type of the mobile mechanism of the present application is not particularly limited. For example, it can be a wheeled system (such as rubber tires or steel wheels), a rail system or other mobile devices suitable for industrial environments. When it is necessary to deploy a radioactive waste treatment workstation, the first box body 101 and the second box body 201 are transported from the storage location to the designated work site by the mobile mechanism. After arriving at the work site, hydraulic support feet or other fixing devices can be used to stabilize the box body to ensure safety during operation. After completing the task, the fixing device is released, and the mobile mechanism is used again to transport the first box body 101 and the second box body 201 out of the nuclear power plant building, return to the storage location or transfer to the next work point.

[0116] Therefore, the present application can support rapid deployment and evacuation by setting a mobile mechanism at the bottom of the first box 101 and the second box 201. This design significantly improves the flexibility, response speed and space utilization of the radioactive waste treatment workstation.

[0117] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the processing device 100 further includes a filtering module (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the first box body 101 .

[0118] Specifically, the filtration module may include a high-efficiency air filter, an activated carbon filter, an ion exchange resin or other specialized filter materials to ensure effective removal of waste such as radioactive gases or aerosols generated during the treatment process, avoid environmental pollution, and improve safety.

[0119] The following takes the treatment of the reactor pressure vessel top cover 300 as an example to further describe the implementation process of the radioactive waste treatment workstation provided by this application. The reactor pressure vessel top cover 300 is a typical large radioactive metal waste that is generated during the life extension and decommissioning stages of nuclear power plants. Due to its large size and thick walls, it will take up 75m2 to prepare a complete waste package. 3 The above space will occupy the space resources of the nuclear power plant's waste temporary storage. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly disassemble it into small pieces of waste for subsequent volume reduction and metal recovery processes.

[0120] The radioactive waste treatment workstation in this application can choose multiple plant layouts due to the following reasons:

[0121] Since the gantry operation module 102, lifting module 202, etc. of the workstation of this application are all contained in a sealed box, the radioactive gas or aerosol and other wastes generated during the treatment process are directly discharged after being treated by the filtration module and meet the standards. There is no need to use the waste gas treatment system of the factory building, which can reduce the dependence on the original supporting systems of the factory building. Because the workstation has the function of lifting and preparing waste, during the large-scale radioactive waste treatment process, the workstation is in a closed state and does not require the original factory building's lifting equipment to provide lifting support, which can reduce the dependence on the original supporting systems of the factory building. During the equipment introduction process, the processing device 100 and the preparation device 200 can be transported to the designated factory building in batches. The modules in the two devices are fully functional and contained in their respective boxes, and can be quickly modularized and assembled after entering the factory building.

[0122] The processing station is also equipped with a transport module 118. An external trailer can be used to transport the reactor pressure vessel cover 300 to the outside of the first housing 101 of the processing device 100. Tracks are then laid to connect with the transport module 118, allowing the reactor pressure vessel cover 300 to be directly pushed into the housing. Once inside, the transport module 118 can then transport the reactor pressure vessel cover 300 to the processing station. This step avoids the need for a heavy crane in the factory building.

[0123] According to the selected processing steps and processes of the reactor pressure vessel top cover 300, one or more operating mechanical arms 104 may be provided on the mobile gantry 103 to perform functions such as decontamination, cutting, and clamping separately or simultaneously.

[0124] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, taking the cutting of the CRDM (control rod drive mechanism) socket on the reactor pressure vessel top cover 300 as an example (this process can be completed by the lifting module 202 and an operating robot arm 104 in collaboration), the following steps are generally included:

[0125] 1) Start the lifting module 202 and drive the sling carrying grabbing mechanism 205 to descend to the position of the CRDM pipe seat 301.

[0126] 2) The remotely controlled gripping mechanism 205 clamps the upper end of the CRDM tube seat 301 .

[0127] 3) The operating robot arm 104 on the gantry 103 is pre-installed with a cutting head, which can be a flame cutter head, a laser cutter head or a plasma cutter head according to the selection of the cutting process.

[0128] 4) Move the gantry 103 close to the reactor pressure vessel top cover 300 and fine-tune the joints of the operating robot arm 104 so that the cutting head is close to the bottom end of the CRDM tube seat 301.

[0129] 5) The cutting head is started, and a cut is formed at the bottom of the CRDM tube seat 301. The cutting head is then moved forward, and the cut of the CRDM tube seat 301 gradually expands and forms a complete circle until the CRDM tube seat 301 is completely cut off.

[0130] 6) At this time, the CRDM tube seat 301 is disconnected from the main structure of the reactor pressure vessel top cover 300. Due to the clamping of the grasping mechanism 205, the CRDM tube seat 301 does not fall downward.

[0131] 7) Start the lifting module 202 to lift the cut CRDM tube seat 301 to the waste box 119 for preparation.

[0132] During operation, nuclear power plants use numerous storage tanks 400 to store radioactive liquid waste. These tanks 400 are also a major source of large-scale radioactive waste generated during decommissioning or active operation of nuclear power plants. The following describes the implementation of a radioactive waste treatment station, using the treatment of radioactive tanks 400 as an example.

[0133] The radioactive waste treatment station utilizes a modular design, housing all functional modules within a well-sealed enclosure. Therefore, when handling radioactive canisters 400, they can be directly removed from other facilities and transported in batches to a designated facility. The modules within both facilities are fully functional and contained within their respective enclosures, allowing for rapid modular assembly within the facility.

[0134] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the workstation utilizes a fully movable gantry module 102, eliminating the large footprint of a fixed gantry. This leaves ample space within the container to accommodate the tank 400. The tank 400 is tilted and placed horizontally on a transport bracket (not shown), transported along the conveyor module 118 into the container, and the side door is closed.

[0135] According to the selected processing steps and processes of the storage tank 400 , two operating robot arms 104 may be mounted on the gantry 103 to operate simultaneously.

[0136] 1) After the tank 400 is in place, move the gantry 103 to one end of the tank 400 so that its crossbeam 107 spans above the tank 400. If the tank 400 has a large diameter, the two working manipulators 104 can be moved to either end of the crossbeam 107 in advance to avoid interference with the tank 400. Subsequently, operations can be performed directly on both sides of the tank 400.

[0137] 2) The cutting head of the robot arm 104 is activated and begins cutting at a designated location on the surface of the tank 400. The cutting head first forms a through hole in the tank 400, and then the robot arm 104 is adjusted to control the cutting feed to form a slit.

[0138] 3) Start the cutting head of the other side operation robot arm 104, and cut in the opposite direction at the first cutting seam. Under the joint cutting of the two operation robot arms 104, the storage tank 400 is broken down into small pieces of metal waste.

[0139] 4) The gripping mechanism 205 at the end of the lifting module 202 is replaced with a magnetic lifting device, which is pre-attached to the surface of the tank 400 to be cut. Once the cutting and seaming are completed, the lifting mechanism 204 is operated to lift the cut small pieces of metal waste into the waste bin 119 for storage.

[0140] In addition to dismantling and reducing the volume of large radioactive waste such as the reactor pressure vessel top cover 300 and the storage tank 400 in the above-mentioned embodiment, the workstation of the present application also supports flipping operations on large radioactive waste in the box. The flipping module 120 of the workstation of the present application will be further described below.

[0141] In some embodiments, reference Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the processing device 100 also includes a flip module 120, which includes: a first flip bracket 121 and a second flip bracket 122. The first flip bracket 121 and the second flip bracket 122 are arranged side by side in the first box 101 and can move along the length direction X of the first box 101. The first flip bracket 121 is used to support one end of the radioactive waste and is rotatably connected to one end of the radioactive waste. The lifting module 202 is used to rotatably connect to the other end of the radioactive waste and is used to cooperate with the first flip bracket 121 to complete the flipping of the radioactive waste. The second flip bracket 122 is used to support the other end of the radioactive waste after flipping.

[0142] Specifically, two first flip supports 121 can be provided, spaced side by side on the transfer module 118 along the width direction Y of the first housing 101. The first flip supports 121 are used to support one end of the radioactive waste and are pivotally connected to that end, allowing the waste to rotate about this point. Two second flip supports 122 can be provided, spaced side by side on the transfer module 118 along the width direction Y of the first housing 101. The second flip supports 122 are primarily used to support the other end of the waste after it has been flipped, ensuring that the waste remains stable throughout the entire processing process. In addition to its existing lifting function, the lifting module 202 plays a key role in the flipping operation. It is pivotally connected to the other end of the radioactive waste and is responsible for driving the waste during flipping. The lifting module 202 can not only lift and lower the waste vertically, but also fine-tune its position horizontally to facilitate precise adjustments during the flipping process.

[0143] During the flipping process, the radioactive waste is placed on the first flip support 121, and the lifting module 202 is connected to the other end of the waste. At this point, the waste is in a horizontal position, ready for the flipping operation. First, the lifting module 202 slowly lifts the waste from a horizontal position to a vertical position. During this process, the first flip support 121 serves as the axis of rotation, ensuring a smooth transition from horizontal to vertical. As the angle of the waste changes, the first flip support 121 translates along the length X of the first housing 101 to ensure the waste remains balanced throughout the flipping process. The lifting module 202 then lowers the waste in the opposite direction. When the waste approaches a horizontal position, the second flip support 122 moves beneath it, ready to provide support as it finally returns to a horizontal position. When the waste reaches a horizontal position again, the second flip support 122 is in place, providing a new support point for the waste, thus completing the flipping process. At this point, the robotic arm 104 can continue volume reduction operations such as cutting as needed.

[0144] The design of the turnover module 120 allows for the processing of radioactive waste in different shapes, such as cans, strips, boxes, cube storage racks, etc., which can all be precisely flipped by adjusting the position of the turnover bracket and using the lifting module 202.

[0145] The following further describes the turning process of the turning module 120 of the present application by taking a radioactive storage tank 400 with a trunnion 401 as an example.

[0146] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the trunnions 401 on either side of one end of the tank 400 are placed on the first tilt bracket 121. A double-leg sling is installed on the lifting module 202, with hooks at each end connected to the trunnions 401 on either side of the tank 400. The motor of the lifting mechanism 204 of the lifting module 202 is activated, lifting one end of the tank 400. Simultaneously, the first tilt bracket 121 moves leftward to coordinate the lifting process, preventing the trunnions 401 from falling off the first tilt bracket 121. After one end of the tank 400 is lifted to a vertical position, the first tilt bracket 121 continues to translate in its original direction. At this point, the lifting module 202 moves rightward, and the motor reverses, causing the lifted end of the tank 400 to begin descending. When the tank 400 is nearly horizontal, the second tilt bracket 122 is moved near the trunnions 401 of the tank 400 to support them, completing the tilt. After the flip, the lower surface of the original storage tank 400 is located at the top, and the gantry 103 and the working robot arm 104 continue to perform cutting and other operations without the need for additional handling or repositioning of the waste. This not only saves time, but also expands the waste area that can be covered in a single processing process.

[0147] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can realize safe and efficient flipping operations on radioactive waste in the closed first box 101 through the coordinated use of the lifting module 202 and the flipping module 120. It not only expands the working range of the operating robot arm 104 so that all surfaces of the waste can be processed, but also ensures the safety and environmental control of the processing process.

[0148] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 As shown, a connecting rod (not shown in the figure) is provided between the first flip bracket 121 and the second flip bracket 122 .

[0149] Specifically, the connecting rod serves as a mechanical connection between the first tilt bracket 121 and the second tilt bracket 122, transmitting motion and force. When the first tilt bracket 121 moves along the longitudinal direction X of the first housing 101, the connecting rod transmits this motion to the second tilt bracket 122, enabling the two brackets to move synchronously. This linkage eliminates the need for separate control of the second tilt bracket 122 and allows the second tilt bracket 122 to accurately move to its supporting position at the other end of the waste, eliminating errors that could be caused by manual adjustment.

[0150] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, a connecting rod is introduced between the first flip bracket 121 and the second flip bracket 122. This design realizes the linkage between the two brackets, simplifies the control process, and improves the stability and accuracy of the support.

[0151] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the first box body 101 and the second box body 201 are both provided with observation windows (not shown in the figure).

[0152] Specifically, observation windows can be provided at appropriate locations in the first and second housings 101, 201, and can be made of radiation-proof glass or other special materials to ensure both clear observation of the internal conditions and effective radiation protection. During the processing process, operators can directly visually inspect the conditions within the first and second housings 101, 201, such as the state of the waste and the operation of the equipment, through the observation windows. This allows for more accurate guidance on the operation of the gantry module 102, the lifting module 202, and other equipment, thereby improving processing accuracy and efficiency.

[0153] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first box 101 and the second box 201 are provided with a camera device (not shown in the figure).

[0154] Specifically, the camera is installed within the first and second housings 101 and 201. It can be a fixed camera or a rotatable camera with pan / tilt control to cover a wider field of view. The camera continuously records and transmits real-time images from the interior of the housing. Operators can view these images in a remote monitoring room or through portable devices, enabling more accurate guidance on the operation of the gantry module 102, the hoisting module 202, and other equipment, improving processing accuracy and efficiency.

[0155] In some embodiments, the radioactive waste treatment workstation further includes a control device (not shown in the figure), which is used to control the operation of the radioactive waste treatment workstation.

[0156] Specifically, the control device is used to centrally manage and control the operation of the entire workstation, coordinate the work of various modules (such as the gantry operation module 102, the lifting module 202, the decontamination module, the filtration module, etc.), and provide an interactive interface between the operator and the equipment.

[0157] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can significantly improve the operational efficiency and safety of the radioactive waste treatment workstation by introducing a dedicated control device.

[0158] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.
