[0020] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] The fusion reactor device that carries out nuclear fusion reactions is huge in size. In order to facilitate transportation and manufacturing, the fusion reactor device is usually disassembled into multiple fusion devices for independent processing and then transported to the site for assembly and splicing. In order to facilitate transportation, the fusion device is usually transported to the site in a flat manner. Before assembly, some fusion devices need to be turned over. However, the fusion device is usually non-homogeneous and asymmetric, and the center of gravity and the structural center are usually not in the same position. The flipping process is easily affected by the complex environment of the construction site. Conventional flipping devices are difficult to ensure the stability of the fusion device during flipping, which can easily cause scratches, bumps, or even damage to the fusion device.

[0022] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 2 A turning tool according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0023] According to the present invention, the flipping tool 1 is used to flip the fusion device 10. The flipping tool 1 includes a base portion 11, a support portion 12, a clamping member and a lifting mechanism. The support portion 12 is arranged on a side edge of the base portion 11 in the first direction; the clamping member is arranged on at least one of the base portion 11 and the support portion 12, and the clamping member is provided with a clamping portion that is sleeved on at least part of the outer periphery of the annular body; the lifting mechanism is provided with a plurality of first lifting members 143 and a plurality of second lifting members 144, and the plurality of first lifting members 143 are arranged at intervals on the other side edge of the base portion 11 in the first direction, and the plurality of second lifting members 144 are arranged at intervals on the end of the support portion 12; wherein, the length of at least one first lifting member 143 is adjustable to balance the tension on each first lifting member 143, and the length of at least one second lifting member 144 is adjustable to balance the tension on each second lifting member 144.

[0024] The flipping fixture 1 according to the present invention is used to flip a fusion device 10. The fusion device 10 is generally provided with an annular body. The flipping fixture 1 is provided with a base portion 11 and a support portion 12. The base portion 11 is a supporting structure for the flipping fixture 1 before flipping. Before flipping, the flipping fixture 1 can be placed on the ground. At this time, the base portion 11 contacts the ground and supports the entire flipping fixture 1, thereby improving the stability of the flipping fixture 1. After the flipping fixture 1 completes the flipping operation, the support portion 12 can contact the ground and support the entire flipping fixture 1. Clamping members can be provided on the base portion 11 and the support portion 12. The clamping members are used to clamp the fusion device 10. Specifically, the clamping members are provided with a clamping portion that can be mounted on at least a portion of the outer circumference of the annular body. When the fusion device 10 is assembled to the flipping fixture 1, the clamping members can clamp the fusion device 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the fusion device 10 during the flipping process. In addition, the flipping tool 1 is also provided with a lifting mechanism, which is provided with a first lifting member 143 and a second lifting member 144. The first lifting member 143 and the second lifting member 144 are respectively connected to the base part 11 and the support part 12. When performing the flipping action, the flipping tool 1 and the fusion device 10 can be lifted as a whole and flipped by the first lifting member 143 and the second lifting member 144.

[0025] The flip tool 1 is provided with a hoisting mechanism for raising the height of the flip tool 1 and completing the flipping operation, and the hoisting mechanism is provided with a plurality of first hoisting members 143 and a plurality of second hoisting members 144, wherein: the plurality of first hoisting members 143 are arranged on the other side edge of the base portion 11 in the first direction, and the plurality of second hoisting members 144 are arranged on the side of the support portion 12, thereby, the first hoisting members 143 and the second hoisting members 144 are respectively located at the two ends of the flip tool 1 in the first direction. When the fusion device 10 needs to be flipped, the flip device can be assembled into the flip tool 1 and It is fixed by the clamping parts. At this time, the hoisting mechanism is started, and the height of the flipping tool 1 is raised by the first hoisting part 143 and the second hoisting part 144 to reserve enough space for the subsequent flipping operation. When the flipping tool 1 rises to a certain height, the flipping tool 1 can be controlled to flip by the first hoisting part 143 and the second hoisting part 144. For example, the height of the first hoisting part 143 (or the second hoisting part 144) can be kept unchanged, and the height of the second hoisting part 144 (or the first hoisting part 143) can be lowered synchronously, thereby realizing the flipping of the fusion device 10 by the flipping tool 1. In addition, the length of at least one of the multiple first hanging parts 143 is adjustable. Similarly, the length of at least one of the multiple second hanging parts 144 is adjustable. During the entire movement of the flipping tool 1, the length of the first hanging part 143 and / or the length of the second hanging part 144 at the corresponding position can be adjusted according to the real-time force conditions of the first hanging part 143 and the second hanging part 144, so as to balance the tension on the multiple first hanging parts 143 and the tension on the multiple second hanging parts 144, ensure that the tension on the multiple first hanging parts 143 is the same, and ensure that the tension on the multiple second hanging parts 144 is the same, so as to avoid shaking or even bumping during the rising or flipping process due to the inhomogeneity of the fusion device 10, thereby improving the stability of the flipping tool 1 when flipping the fusion device 10, and thereby improving the safety of the fusion device 10 during the flipping process.

[0026] The equipment or components of the fusion device 10 are often non-homogeneous and asymmetric structures, the center of gravity and the structural center are usually not in the same position, and the strength of the main structure may not meet the requirements of direct flipping. At the same time, its connection and matching surfaces are very precise. During the flipping process, if the forces between the lifting points are uneven, twisting, jumping, or asynchronous lifting and landing are very likely to occur, causing the equipment or components to be squeezed, scratched, and impacted by loads. Ordinary flipping devices are difficult to meet the flipping requirements of the fusion device 10, while the flipping tool 1 of the present invention can avoid this series of problems. Specifically: the flipping tool 1 of the present invention designs the length of at least one first lifting member 143 and at least one second lifting member 144 in the lifting mechanism to be adjustable. The length-adjustable first lifting member 143 and second lifting member 144 can adjust the length of the first lifting member 143 and the second lifting member 144 at the corresponding position according to the actual force conditions, and then balance the tension on each first lifting member 143 or each second lifting member 144, so that during the flipping process, the various parts of the fusion device 10 are evenly stressed, effectively avoiding the above-mentioned damage caused by uneven force, and ensuring the integrity and functionality of the components of the fusion device 10.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism includes: a first balancing lifting beam 141 and a second balancing lifting beam 142, the first balancing lifting beam 141 and the second balancing lifting beam 142 are spaced apart in the first direction, a plurality of first lifting parts 143 are spaced apart on the first balancing lifting beam 141, and a plurality of second lifting parts 144 are spaced apart on the second balancing lifting beam 142.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the hoisting mechanism is provided with a first balancing beam 141 and a second balancing beam 142, which are spaced apart in a first direction, corresponding to a first hoisting member 143 and a second hoisting member 144, respectively. Specifically, the first balancing beam 141 is provided with a plurality of first hoisting members 143 at intervals, while the second balancing beam 142 is provided with a plurality of second hoisting members 144 at intervals. When hoisting the fusion device 10, an external device (e.g., a crane) provides a lifting tension. At this time, the first balancing beam 141 can drive the plurality of first hoisting members 143 to move synchronously, and the second balancing beam 142 can drive the plurality of second hoisting members 144 to move synchronously, ensuring that the entire tilting tool 1 remains stable during the lifting and tilting processes. The reaction force of the lifting force can be evenly distributed to the corresponding balancing beams through the multiple hoisting members, effectively avoiding the problem of hoisting imbalance and greatly enhancing the stability of the hoisting process.

[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first lifting lugs 1411 are spaced apart on the first balancing beam 141. A first shackle 1412 is disposed at the bottom of each first lifting lug 1411, and one end of the first lifting member 143 is connected to the first shackle 1412. A plurality of second lifting lugs 1421 are spaced apart on the second balancing beam 142. A second shackle 1422 is disposed at the bottom of each second lifting lug 1421, and one end of the second lifting member 144 is connected to the second shackle 1422. The combination of the lifting lugs and shackles creates a multiple connection guarantee. The lifting lugs provide a stable installation position for the lifting member, while the shackles further enhance the flexibility and stability of the connection. During the lifting process, even if subjected to large external impacts or shaking, this multiple connection structure can effectively maintain the connection, preventing the lifting member from separating from the balancing beam, and ensuring the smooth progress of the lifting operation.

[0030] The design of the shackle makes it very convenient to connect and disconnect the first hoisting member 143, the second hoisting member 144 and the corresponding balance beam. During installation, the operator only needs to open the shackle, insert one end of the hoisting member and fasten it to complete the connection; during disassembly, it is also easy to separate by simply opening the shackle, which shortens the preparation time and finishing time of the flipping tool 1 for the flipping operation, improves work efficiency, and is particularly suitable for the installation and maintenance of the fusion device 10 that requires frequent lifting and disassembly operations. Moreover, as independent connecting parts, the lifting lugs and shackles can be easily replaced separately if they are worn, damaged or reach the end of their service life during use. There is no need to replace the entire balance beam or hoisting mechanism. Only the damaged lifting lugs or shackles need to be replaced to restore the normal use of the flipping tool 1, reducing maintenance time and maintenance costs.

[0031] Furthermore, because the first lifting lug 1411 and the second lifting lug 1421 are spaced apart on the corresponding balancing beam, and the lifting member is connected to the lifting lugs via a shackle, the operator can flexibly adjust the connection position of the lifting member on the balancing beam according to the actual shape, size, and center of gravity of the fusion device 10. Without requiring complex modification or processing of the balancing beam itself, the lifting position can be precisely adjusted simply by changing the connection between the shackle and the different lifting lugs, meeting diverse lifting requirements.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flip tool 1 also includes: a first connecting part 151 and a second connecting part 152, the first connecting part 151 is arranged at the other side edge of the base part 11 in the first direction, and a first pin shaft 153 is rotatably provided on the first connecting part 151, and the other end of the first hanging part 143 is connected to the first pin shaft 153; the second connecting part 152 is arranged at the end of the support part 12, and a second pin shaft 154 is rotatably provided on the second connecting part 152, and the other end of the second hanging part 144 is connected to the second pin shaft 154.

[0033] The first connection portion 151 is located at the edge of the base 11 on the other side in the first direction, and the other end of the first suspending member 143 is connected to it via a first pin 153. The second connection portion 152 is located at the end of the support portion 12, and the other end of the second suspending member 144 is connected via a second pin 154. This allows the suspending force from the suspending mechanism to be more evenly transmitted to the base 11 and support portion 12, thereby improving the stability of the flip tool 1 during the lifting and flipping process. The rotatable first and second pins 153, 154 allow the first and second suspending members 143, 144 to rotate relative to their corresponding connection portions within a certain angle. During the lifting process, if the fusion device 10 experiences slight vibration due to external factors (such as airflow or operational vibration), the rotation of the first and second pins 153, 154 can buffer and absorb some of the vibration energy, preventing the vibration from being transmitted and amplified. This maintains the relative stability of the fusion device 10 during the lifting and flipping process, thereby improving the stability of the flip tool 1 during flipping.

[0034] When performing the flipping operation of the fusion device 10, the rotatable first pin 153 and the second pin 154 enable the hanging parts to rotate naturally as the flipping tool 1 flips, reducing the interference and jamming between the hanging parts and other parts of the flipping tool 1 during the flipping process, and can more smoothly control the flipping angle and speed of the flipping tool 1, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the flipping operation.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flip tool 1 also includes: a first sensor, a second sensor and a processing unit, the first sensor and the second sensor are respectively arranged on the first pin shaft 153 and the second pin shaft 154, the first sensor is suitable for collecting the tension on the first lifting member 143, and the second sensor is suitable for collecting the tension on the second lifting member 144; the processing unit is respectively connected to the first sensor and the second sensor signals, and the processing unit is suitable for receiving and storing the information collected by the first sensor and the second sensor.

[0036] The first sensor and the second sensor are respectively disposed on the first pin 153 and the second pin 154, and are capable of collecting real-time data on the tension applied to the first and second slings 143 and 144. During the lifting and flipping process of the fusion device 10, the processing unit can receive and analyze the signals transmitted by the first and second sensors, and perform feedback processing based on the received signals. For example, when the tension applied to the multiple first slings 143 is unbalanced, the length of the corresponding first slings 143 can be promptly controlled and adjusted to balance the tension across the multiple first slings 143, thereby ensuring the stability of the fusion device 10 throughout the entire lifting and flipping process.

[0037] After receiving and storing the tension information collected by the first and second sensors, the processing unit can also perform a comparative analysis of the tension on the first and second slings 143 and 144. If the difference in tension is too large, it indicates that the fusion device 10 may be unbalanced during the lifting process. In this case, the lifting angle or length can be adjusted promptly based on the data provided by the processing unit to balance the flip tool 1, reduce the shaking and stress concentration caused by the imbalance, and further improve the safety of the lifting and flipping process.

[0038] In addition, if the tension on a certain lifting component exceeds its safe load-bearing range, the processing unit can immediately receive the abnormal data and can promptly issue an alarm to the operator through the preset alarm mechanism, so that the operator can take quick measures, such as adjusting the lifting method, reducing the load, etc., thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents such as lifting component breakage and component falling, and ensuring the safety of operators and equipment.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping member includes: a first clamping member 131 and a second clamping member 132, the first clamping member 131 is provided with a first clamping portion 1311 and a first clamping seat 1312, the first clamping seat 1312 is provided at the top of the base portion 11 and extends in the second direction, the first clamping portion 1311 is provided at the end of the first clamping seat 1312 and is sleeved on at least part of the outer circumference of the annular body; the second clamping member 132 is provided with a second clamping portion 1321 and a second clamping seat 1322, the second clamping seat 1322 is provided on the side of the support portion 12 and extends in the first direction, the second clamping portion 1321 is provided at the end of the second clamping seat 1322 and is sleeved on at least part of the outer circumference of the annular body.

[0040] The first clamping seat 1312 and the second clamping seat 1322 provide support for the first clamping member 131 and the second clamping member 132, respectively, to ensure the stability of the first clamping member 131 and the second clamping member 132, thereby improving the stability of the fusion device 10. The first clamping portion 1311 and the second clamping portion 1321 are respectively arranged on at least a portion of the outer circumference of the annular body, and can apply force to the annular body from multiple directions, increasing the contact area between the clamping member and the annular body, thereby greatly improving the stability and reliability of the clamping. During the flipping process of the fusion device 10, even if subjected to a large external force, the annular body is not easy to fall off from the clamping member, effectively ensuring the safe flipping operation. When clamping the annular body, the first clamping member 131 and the second clamping member 132 can disperse the force borne by the annular body to the base portion 11 and the support portion 12, avoiding damage to the flipping tool 1 or the fusion device 10 caused by local stress concentration.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first clamping portions 1311 and at least one second clamping portion 1321 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the annular body. The plurality of first clamping portions 1311 and at least one second clamping portion 1321 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the annular body so that the annular body can be subjected to the clamping force at all positions in the circumferential direction. Compared with a single or centralized clamping method, the all-round clamping method can more evenly distribute the external forces borne by the annular body, such as its own gravity and the inertial force generated during the flipping process. For example, when flipping the annular body of a large fusion device 10, the spaced-apart clamping portions can prevent the annular body from deforming or slipping out of the clamping member due to excessive local force, thereby greatly improving the stability of the clamping. Moreover, since the plurality of first clamping portions 1311 and the second clamping portions 1321 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction, they can cooperate with each other to form a stable clamping system. During the flipping process, even if the annular body is disturbed by external factors and produces slight shaking, each clamping part can play a role at the same time, and by adjusting the size and direction of the clamping force, the shaking can be quickly suppressed, so that the annular body is kept in a stable position, thereby improving the stability of the flipping tooling 1 in flipping the fusion device 10.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first support seat 161 is provided at the bottom of the base portion 11, and the first support seat 161 is suitable for supporting the flip tool 1 before the flip tool 1 is flipped; a second support seat 162 is provided on the side of the support portion 12, and the second support seat 162 is suitable for supporting the flip tool 1 after the flip tool 1 is flipped.

[0043] Before the flipping tool 1 is flipped, the first support base 161 provided at the bottom of the base 11 provides a stable foundation for the entire flipping tool 1. Since the fusion device 10 is typically heavy, during the flipping preparation phase, the first support base 161 ensures that the flipping tool 1 remains stable in a horizontal position, preventing the tool from shaking or tilting due to external factors (such as slight vibrations or the movement of people). This prevents the fusion device 10 from shifting before flipping begins, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the subsequent flipping operation. Once the flipping tool 1 has completed its flipping operation, the second support base 162 provided on the side of the support portion 12 immediately takes effect, providing stable support for the flipped tool and fusion device 10. In the new flipped position, the second support base 162 can withstand the weight of the tool and components, preventing them from tipping or shaking due to a change in center of gravity. This ensures that the fusion device 10 remains safe and stable in its flipped state, facilitating subsequent installation, commissioning, or other operations.

[0044] First support base 161 and second support base 162 provide reasonable support for flip tool 1 at different stages of operation, distributing the weight of the tool and the components of fusion device 10 to prevent excessive localized stress. Before flipping, first support base 161 evenly distributes the weight of the tool on the ground, reducing the risk of deformation or damage to base portion 11 caused by prolonged heavy pressure. After flipping, second support base 162 similarly distributes the weight, protecting support portion 12 and other related components from excessive stress, thereby extending the service life of flip tool 1.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flip tool 1 also includes: a protective frame 171, which is arranged on at least a portion of the edge of the base portion 11 in the circumferential direction, and the protective frame 171 is connected to the support portion 12 and defines an accommodating cavity for accommodating the fusion device 10, and a reinforcing beam 172 is arranged between the protective frame 171 and the support portion 12.

[0046] The protective frame 171 is arranged on at least part of the edge of the base portion 11 in the circumferential direction and is connected to the support portion 12. At the same time, a reinforcing beam 172 is arranged between the two, forming a stable overall frame system, which can effectively enhance the overall structural strength of the flip tool 1. When flipping a heavy and large component such as the fusion device 10, the tooling needs to withstand huge loads and stresses. The reinforced structure can better resist deformation and damage, ensure the smooth progress of the flipping process, and reduce the risk of safety accidents caused by insufficient structural strength. The presence of the reinforcing beam 172 can change the stress transmission path and disperse the stress concentrated in certain parts to a larger range. During the flipping process, various parts of the tooling will be subjected to forces in different directions, such as gravity, inertial force generated by flipping, etc. The reinforcing beam 172 can evenly distribute these forces to the protective frame 171 and the support portion 12, avoiding structural damage caused by excessive local stress, and extending the service life of the flip tool 1.

[0047] The accommodating cavity defined by the protective frame 171 and the support portion 12 can accommodate the fusion device 10, providing a relatively closed and safe space for the fusion device 10 during the flipping process, which can effectively prevent the fusion device 10 from colliding with external objects, avoiding scratches, deformation and even internal structural damage to the component surface caused by the collision, thereby protecting the integrity and performance of the fusion device 10 and reducing the cost of subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0048] The following briefly describes a method for flipping a fusion device according to the present invention.

[0049] The turning tool 1 according to the present invention has a method for turning over a fusion device. The steps of the method for turning over a fusion device can be simply summarized as follows: S1: placing the fusion device 10 on the base 11 and fixing it with a clamp, modeling the flip tool 1 and the fusion device 10 using a finite element analysis method, and obtaining the target force range of each lifting point at each angle of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, and 100° during the lifting and flipping process; S2: Start the hoisting mechanism to simultaneously lift the first hoisting member 143 and the second hoisting member 144; S3: adjusting the length of at least a portion of the first hanging member 143 so that the force applied to each first hanging member 143 remains within the target force range; adjusting the length of at least a portion of the second hanging member 144 so that the force applied to each second hanging member 144 remains within the target force range; S4: Lifting the first hoisting member 143, simultaneously lowering the second hoisting member 144, and moving the second hoisting member 144 toward the first hoisting member 143, while monitoring whether the real-time stress of the flipping tool 1 at each hanging point is within the target stress range, and continuing to flip the fusion device 10 or stopping the flipping process based on the monitoring data; S5: After the turning tool 1 is turned over, the first hanging member 143 is lowered until the supporting portion 12 contacts the ground and supports the entire turning tool 1 .

[0050] Specifically: when the fusion device 10 needs to be flipped, the fusion device 10 can be placed in the flip tool 1 first. At this time, the flip tool 1 is in the initial state, and the first support seat 161 at the bottom of the base 11 is in contact with the ground and supports the entire flip tool 1. The fusion device 10 can be placed on the base 11 and clamped and fixed by the first clamping member 131 on the base 11 and the second clamping member 132 on the support 12. A model is established and the finite element analysis method is used to obtain the state and stress changes of the flip tool 1 and the fusion device 10 in the entire flip process, including: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90° during the hoisting and flipping process. , 100° and other angles, the target force range of each lifting point position (i.e. the connection position of the first lifting member 143 and the second lifting member 144 with the flip tool 1); after the fixation is completed, the first balance beam 141 and the second balance beam 142 can be synchronously lifted by a crane or other equipment to ensure that the first balance beam 141 and the second balance beam 142 can move synchronously, thereby enabling the first lifting member 143 and the second lifting member 144 to synchronously lift the entire flip tool 1, ensuring the stability of the flip tool 1 during the rising process; when the flip tool 1 is off the ground, the data of the first sensor and the second sensor are received by the processing unit, and the force conditions on the multiple first lifting members 143 and the multiple second lifting members 144 are analyzed, and the load is calculated according to the load. The analysis results are used to adjust the lengths of the corresponding first hanging parts 143 and the corresponding second hanging parts 144 (if the length of the hanging parts at the current corresponding position cannot be changed, that is, the hanging parts are fixed in length, the lengths of the same hanging parts at all other positions can be changed) to balance the tension on each first hanging part 143 or each second hanging part 144, so that the tension on each first hanging part 143 and each second hanging part 144 is maintained within the target force range of the corresponding hanging point position (the target force range can be simply understood as: keeping the deviation value of the force on each hanging point from the theoretical data obtained by finite element analysis within a range of 20%); after the tension on the hanging parts is balanced, slowly raise the height of the flip tool 1, and when the flip tool 1 rises to a sufficient height, When the height reaches a certain level (i.e., the height that meets the flipping requirement), the lifting parts are locked to keep the height of the first balancing beam 141 (first lifting part 143) unchanged, and the height of the second balancing beam 142 (second lifting part 144) is lowered. At the same time, the second balancing beam 142 is slowly moved toward the first balancing beam 141 to achieve flipping. At the same time, during the flipping process, the force at each hanging point on the flipping tool 1 is monitored in real time through the first sensor, the second sensor and the processing unit. If the force at a certain hanging point exceeds the corresponding target acceptance range, the flipping process is stopped, and the length of the first lifting part 143 or the second lifting part 144 of the corresponding hanging point is adjusted again until the force at the hanging point meets the corresponding target acceptance range, and then the flipping is continued;After the flipping operation is completed, the first balancing beam 141 (first lifting member 143) is lowered until the second support base 162 on the side of the support portion 12 contacts the ground and supports the entire flipping tool 1. The corresponding lifting members are removed to complete the flipping operation of the fusion device 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, the steps of modeling and analyzing the state and stress changes of the flipping tool 1 and the fusion device 10 during the entire flipping process through finite element analysis may be: First, use 3D modeling software such as Catia and Solidworks to model the fusion device 10 and the flip tool 1 at a 1:1 scale, and then save them in a format that can be run by finite element analysis software such as Ansys; Secondly, the model is opened using finite element analysis software such as Ansys, and the model is simplified or segmented before finite element analysis. After simplification, material properties are assigned according to the material of the fusion device 10; Taking the flipping working condition as an example, from the horizontal state before the fusion device 10 flips to the vertical state, the grid is divided according to 11 states of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, and 100°: the continuum is divided into a finite number of small, regularly shaped units, each of which is connected by a number of nodes; according to the different structures of the fusion device 10, the flipping tool 1, etc., the unit division form is selected to be triangular, quadrilateral, polygonal, etc. The number of units after division at the key connection node should be at least twice that of the other positions, and the side length of the unit after division at the key connection point should not be greater than 1 / 2 of the other positions; Select interpolation function: Select the static stress analysis module and select one or more polynomials as interpolation functions in each element, such as Newton's second law, Newton's third law, Young's modulus formula, etc., to approximately describe the variation of field variables within the element. Establish the system of equations: According to the variational principle, the field variables and their derivatives in each unit are expressed using the selected interpolation function, and the equations of these units are integrated to obtain the system of equations for the entire continuum: that is, K·d=F, where K is the overall stiffness matrix, d is the node displacement vector, and F is the node load vector; Perform boundary condition processing: determine the boundary conditions, that is, impose appropriate constraints on the field variables and their derivatives on the boundaries, such as full fixation, contact, penetration, etc., to ensure the closure and uniqueness of the equation system; Solve the equations: By solving the above equations, the field variable values ​​at each node can be obtained; Post-processing and verification: Perform necessary post-processing on the solution results, such as graphical display and error analysis, to verify the accuracy and reliability of the calculation; Mark the fusion device 10. The software simulates areas where the stress is greater than 50% of the allowable stress and areas where the strain is greater than 1 mm. These areas are named monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ... N, and the corresponding calculated stress and strain values ​​are extracted and recorded. The calculated stress and strain values ​​of the fusion device 10, the areas connected to supports 1 to 2 in the length direction of the flip tool 1, and the areas connected to supports 1 to 5 in the width direction of the flip tool 1, and the areas extending 200 mm outward from the contact edge line are extracted and recorded. These areas are named support monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ... N. Areas that overlap with monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ... N are still named according to monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ... N. Ensure that each exposed part of the curved side outer wall, internal component junction box, straight side outer wall, curved side inner wall, and straight side inner wall of the fusion device 10 contains at least one monitoring area 1, 2, 3, ... N or support monitoring area 1, 2, 3, ... N point. Then, according to the stress and strain monitoring area and monitoring value, a system including strain gauges, wireless transmitters, wireless receivers, and data processing software is selected; preferably, the strain gauges can be used in combination with single-axis strain gauges, or multi-axis strain gauges can be used alone; preferably, when connecting the strain gauges to the fusion device or equipment, a suitable adhesive should be selected according to the material of the component or equipment. For example, for stainless steel, an adhesive that controls the content of halogen ions such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine should be selected; preferably, the wireless transmitter and wireless receiver should use rechargeable lithium batteries as power sources; preferably, the strain sensors, wireless receivers, and their connecting lines should be waterproof; Next, select auxiliary sensors such as accelerometers and inclinometers, wireless transmitters, wireless receivers, data processing software and other systems; preferably, the auxiliary sensors are connected to the fusion device or equipment, and appropriate adhesives should be selected according to the material of the components or equipment. For example, for stainless steel, adhesives that control the content of halogen ions such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine should be selected; preferably, wireless transmitters and wireless receivers should use rechargeable lithium batteries as power sources; preferably, the auxiliary sensors, wireless receivers and their connecting lines should be waterproof; Finally, install sensors to monitor and process data during fusion device or equipment flipping activities: Before flipping the fusion device 10, clean the locations where strain sensors are to be installed, including monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ..., N and the support monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ..., N. Use adhesive to install the strain sensors in these locations. The installation density is determined based on the area of ​​the area, and approximately 20% of the strain sensors are reserved as backup. Clean the installation locations of auxiliary sensors such as accelerometers and inclinometers on the fusion device or equipment. Install at least two accelerometers at the location farthest from the centerline in the length direction of the component or equipment. Install at least two inclinometers, one each in the length and width directions of the component or equipment, and both at the location farthest from the centerline. Use adhesive to securely mount the above auxiliary sensors. Install the wireless signal transmitter on the flip tooling, components or equipment and effectively fix it, and effectively connect it with the strain sensor, accelerometer, inclinometer and other auxiliary sensors through the signal path, and provide dust and water protection; Connect the wireless signal receiver and data processing software to effectively connect the signal path, and perform dust and water proofing. Test run to check whether the signal path connection is smooth; After flipping the component or equipment, monitor stress, strain, and acceleration. Based on the angle parameters transmitted by the inclination sensor, compare the stress and strain values ​​transmitted by the strain sensor with the calculated stress and strain values ​​of monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ...N and support monitoring areas 1, 2, 3, ...N at 11 angles (0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, and 100°) analyzed by finite element software. The change must not exceed 20% of the calculated stress and strain values, and the stress value must not exceed the allowable stress value of the material, and the strain value must remain within the material's elastic deformation range. The acceleration monitored by the accelerometer during the full flip process must not exceed 0.02G. Record parameters such as stress, strain, acceleration, etc. during the flipping process, and analyze and compare the correlation between stress, strain values ​​and acceleration to facilitate experience summary and feedback in the subsequent flipping process.
