Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of in-situ machining and repair technology of the sealing surface of the main steam isolation valve seat in nuclear power plants, specifically relating to a milling machining device and method for repairing defects in the sealing surface of the main steam isolation valve seat. Background Technology

[0002] The main steam isolation valve is the largest valve in a nuclear power plant. Installed on the main steam pipeline, it is susceptible to various defects on its seat sealing surface due to mechanical impact and corrosion during operation. When the hard weld overlay on the main steam isolation valve seat sealing surface cracks or is damaged locally by impact, internal leakage will occur, directly affecting the safe operation of the unit.

[0003] During manufacturing, the through holes on both sides of the bottom of the main steam isolation valve are not connected to the pipeline, allowing machining equipment to insert tools through these holes and machine the valve seat sealing surface. However, in power plant applications, the through holes on both sides of the bottom of the main steam isolation valve are welded to the pipeline, preventing machining equipment from entering the valve body through the side holes. Access is only possible through the top through hole. The valve body's internal space is limited, and the valve seat sealing surface requires high hardness and precision. This places high demands on the spatial structure and repair capabilities of the online machining and repair equipment, making equipment design challenging. Currently, there is no equipment capable of directly removing deep defects on the valve seat sealing surface or machining a smooth surface after welding and additive manufacturing.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] This invention provides a milling apparatus and method for repairing defects on the sealing surface of a main steam isolation valve seat. It can remove defects on the valve seat sealing surface without disassembling the connecting pipes of the main steam isolation valve, machining it into the bevel required for welding repair, and then performing the machining repair after welding. The apparatus is easy to install and adjust, has high processing efficiency, reduces the radiation dose, operational risks, and labor intensity for operators, and significantly shortens the overhaul period.

[0020] like Figure 4As shown, the valve seat sealing surface 921 of the main steam isolation valve 900 may develop defects such as pitting, corrosion, and scratches during use. Defects of small depth can be removed directly by grinding the entire valve seat sealing surface. Defects of larger depth require multiple processes including defect removal, welding additive manufacturing, machining repair, and grinding. During maintenance, after the main steam isolation valve 900 is disassembled, the remaining components are the valve body 910 and valve seat 920. Because the lateral through-hole 911 at the bottom of the valve body 910 is welded to the pipeline, the machining equipment needs to enter the valve body 910 through the top through-hole 912 to remove defects from the valve seat sealing surface 921 and perform machining repair after welding additive manufacturing.

[0021] This invention discloses a milling machining device for repairing defects on the sealing surface of a main steam isolation valve seat. It is used for defect removal and post-additional machining repair, and includes: a machining unit 100, a Z-axis unit 200, an X-axis unit 500, a Y-axis unit 600, a valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300, a sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400, a support unit 700, and a detection unit 800. Figure 1 As shown, the processing unit 100 and the detection unit 800 are mounted on the Z-axis unit 200. The support unit 700 serves as the mounting platform. The valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 and the sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 are also present. The Y-axis unit 600 is fixed to the support unit 700 via two slide rails. The X-axis unit 500 is connected to the Y-axis unit 600, and the Z-axis unit 200 is connected to the X-axis unit 500.

[0022] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the processing unit 100 includes three parts: a circumferential feed unit 110, a radial feed unit 120, and a power head unit 130.

[0023] The circumferential feed unit 110 is used to drive the milling cutter head 133 to feed in the circumferential direction.

The drive motor 121 cooperates with the linear unit 122 and drives the linear unit 122 and the sliding platform 123 to make linear motion on the guide rail unit 124.

[0025] The power head unit 130 is used for the power of milling the valve seat sealing surface. The power head unit 130 includes a power motor 131, a right-angle tool holder 132 and a milling cutter head 133. The power motor 131 is fixed on the sliding platform 123 of the radial feed unit 120. The power motor 131 drives the right-angle tool holder 132, and the milling cutter head 133 is mounted on the right-angle tool holder 132.

[0026] like Figure 8 As shown, the Z-axis unit 200 and the X-axis unit 500 are used to adjust the relative position of the rotation center of the machining unit 100 and the center of the valve seat sealing surface 921.

[0027] Z-axis unit 200 includes Z-axis linear drive unit 201, Z-axis guide rail unit 202, and Z-axis sliding platform 203. Z-axis guide rail unit 202 and Z-axis sliding platform 203 cooperate, with Z-axis linear drive unit 201 driving Z-axis sliding platform 203 to perform linear motion on Z-axis guide rail unit 202. Z-axis sliding platform 203 supports machining unit 100. During milling operations, machining unit 100 is subjected to the impact of milling forces and feed forces; therefore, Z-axis sliding platform 203 should possess sufficient rigidity to reduce deformation and ensure milling accuracy.

[0028] like Figure 8 As shown, the Y-axis unit 600 is used to drive the milling cutter head 133 to feed in the depth direction. The Y-axis unit 600 includes a Y-axis linear drive unit 601, a Y-axis guide rail unit 602, and a Y-axis sliding platform 603. The Y-axis guide rail unit 602 is mounted on the support unit 700. The Y-axis guide rail unit 602 cooperates with the Y-axis sliding platform 603. The Y-axis linear drive unit 601 drives the Y-axis sliding platform 603 to perform linear motion on the Y-axis guide rail unit 602.

[0029] like Figure 8As shown, the X-axis unit 500 includes an X-axis linear drive unit 501, an X-axis guide rail unit 502, and an X-axis sliding platform 503. The X-axis guide rail unit 502 is mounted on the Y-axis sliding platform 603 of the Y-axis unit 600. The X-axis guide rail unit 502 cooperates with the X-axis sliding platform 503. The X-axis linear drive unit 501 drives the X-axis sliding platform 503 to perform linear motion on the X-axis guide rail unit 502.

[0030] The valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 and the sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 are used to adjust the feed path of the machining unit to keep it parallel to the valve seat sealing surface 921.

[0031] like Figure 9 As shown, the support unit 700 is used to fix the repair equipment to the flange face 913 on the top of the valve body 910. The support unit 700 includes a support platform 701 and a connecting block 702. The support platform 701 has an annular structure, and the connecting block 702 has a wedge-shaped structure. It is connected to the support platform 701 by screws. When the screws are tightened, the wedge-shaped structure at the bottom of the connecting block 702 engages with the wedge-shaped structure of the valve body 910 to lock it in place.

[0032] like Figure 9 As shown, the valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 is located on the support platform 701. The valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 includes a drive motor 301, a reducer 302, a drive gear 303, a slewing bearing 304, and a slewing platform 305. The outer ring of the slewing bearing 304 is fixed to the support platform 701 with screws, and the slewing platform 305 is fixed to the inner ring of the slewing bearing 304. The outer ring of the slewing bearing 304 has an external gear structure. The drive motor 301 and the reducer 302 drive the drive gear 303 to push the slewing platform 305 to rotate along the outer ring of the slewing bearing 304.

[0033] like Figure 10 As shown, the sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 is located on the rotary platform 305 of the valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit. The sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 includes a drive motor 401, an angle housing 402, a swing platform 403, an arc-shaped rack 404, a rack support 405, a drive gear 406, a rotating shaft seat 407, a rotating shaft 408, an arc-shaped block support 409, a Y-axis follower bearing 410, an arc-shaped support block 411, and an X-axis follower bearing 412.

[0034] The power of the drive motor 401 is transferred to the drive gears 406 on both sides via the corner housing 402. The drive gears 406 move on the arc rack 404, driving the swing platform 403 to rotate around the rotating shaft 408 on the rotating shaft seat 407, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the swing platform 403.

[0035] like Figure 6As shown, the detection unit 800 includes a laser scanner 802 and a leveling rangefinder 801. Both the laser scanner 802 and the leveling rangefinder 801 are fixed on the sliding platform 123 of the radial feed unit 120.

[0036] The detection unit 800 has two main functions: one is to calibrate the position of the machining unit 100, including ensuring that the rotation center of the machining unit 100 is aligned with the center of the valve seat sealing surface 921, and that the feed plane of the machining unit 100 is parallel to the valve seat sealing surface 921; the other is to use a laser scanner 802 to scan the repair area and check whether the forming quality of the laser welding and milling operations meets the technical requirements. The detection unit 800 and the machining unit 100 share a rotary platform 115, which allows for inspection of the valve seat sealing surface 921 within a 360° range. The leveling distance measuring instrument 801 is a laser distance sensor that can detect the distance from the rotation plane of the machining unit 100 to the valve seat sealing surface 921. The rotary platform 115 drives the leveling distance measuring instrument 801 to measure distances at different rotation angles. The measured distance values ​​are fed back to the controller. Based on the different measured distance values, the adjustment angle can be calculated, and then the valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 and the sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 can be adjusted so that the feed plane of the processing unit 100 is parallel to the valve seat sealing surface 921.

[0037] In the specific implementation of the milling apparatus of the present invention, the processing unit 100 includes a power head unit 130 for specific milling processing of the surface to be repaired, and the planar motion feed for milling processing is provided by the circumferential feed unit 110 and the radial feed unit 120. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the machining unit 100 is fixed on the Z-axis unit 200, and the Z-axis unit 200 can drive the machining unit 100 to adjust its position in the Z-axis direction.

[0038] The detection unit 800 is fixed to the sliding platform 123 of the processing unit 100 by bolts.

[0039] The Z-axis unit 200 is fixed to the X-axis sliding platform 503 of the X-axis unit 500 by bolts, and the X-axis unit 500 drives the machining unit 100 to adjust its position in the X-axis direction.

[0040] The X-axis unit 500 is fixed on the Y-axis sliding platform 603 of the X-axis unit 500 by bolts. The Y-axis unit 600 drives the machining unit 100 to move in the Y-axis direction, thereby providing the feed motion in the depth direction for milling.

[0041] The Y-axis unit 600 is fixed on the swing platform 403 of the sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 and connected by screws. The sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 is used to adjust the angle between the machining unit 100 and the valve seat sealing surface 921.

[0042] The sealing surface angle adjustment unit 400 is fixed on the rotary platform 305 of the valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 and connected by bolts. The valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 is used to adjust the angle between the machining unit 100 and the valve seat sealing surface 921 in the circumferential direction of the valve body flange surface 913.

[0043] The valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit 300 is fixed on the support platform 701 of the support unit 700 and connected by bolts.

[0044] The support unit 700 is fixed on the flange face 913 of the valve body 910 and is fixed by the connecting block 702, which mates with the wedge-shaped surface of the flange face 913.

[0045] The main steam isolation valve seat sealing surface milling repair equipment proposed in this invention has two main uses: first, it is used to remove the original defective surface oxide layer and process the area to be repaired into a shape suitable for weld additive repair; second, it is used to process the welded material after weld additive repair to make the repaired area flat and consistent with the normal area. The implementation methods for the two uses are basically the same, only the milling cutter head is different. Therefore, we will only introduce the defect removal process.

[0046] A milling method for repairing defects on the sealing surface of a main steam isolation valve seat includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the valve seat sealing surface milling and repair equipment onto the valve body flange surface; Step 2: The circumferential feed unit of the processing unit drives the detection unit to perform detection; Step 3: The valve body circumferential angle adjustment unit and the sealing surface angle adjustment unit are adjusted according to the detection results of the detection unit to keep the feed plane of the processing unit parallel to the valve seat sealing surface; Step 4: The X-axis unit and Z-axis unit are adjusted according to the detection results of the detection unit to make the rotation center of the machining unit coaxial with the center of the valve seat sealing surface; Step 5: After adjustment, the milling equipment will mill the defects. Step 6: After processing is completed, disassemble the valve seat sealing surface milling repair equipment.
