[0034] 5- Waist-shaped hole. Detailed Implementation
[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a remote cleaning tool for the guide post bolt holes of an instrument grid inside a reactor, comprising: a surface assembly and operation component 1 and an underwater cleaning main component 2; the surface assembly and operation component 1 and the underwater cleaning main component 2 are detachably connected; the surface assembly and operation component 1 is used to position the cleaning tool and remotely connects to the underwater cleaning main component; the underwater cleaning main component 2 is used to clean the guide post bolt holes of the instrument grid inside the reactor. The main body of the cleaning tool is made of aluminum alloy, making it lightweight and easy to operate.
[0037] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the waterborne assembly operation component 1 includes a positioning assembly 11, an extension rod assembly 12, an anti-fall rod 13, a screw handle assembly 14, a hoisting head assembly 15, and a universal level 16. The extension rod assembly 12 includes multiple extension rod sections, each with an anti-fall rod 13 detachably connected to its top. Adjacent extension rods are connected via pins 17 and extension rod connectors 18. The hoisting head assembly 15, screw handle assembly 14, universal level 16, and positioning assembly 11 are respectively connected to the top extension rod. The hoisting head assembly 15 is used to connect to a crane to prevent the tool from falling into the equipment during operation. The universal level 16 is installed below the screw handle assembly 14 to observe whether the entire extension rod assembly 12 is vertical.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the positioning assembly 11 includes: a waist-shaped hole clamping plate A 111, a waist-shaped hole clamping plate B 112, a fixing bolt 113, a guide sleeve fine-tuning bolt 114, a guide sleeve 115, a pressure block A 116, a pressure block B 117, a pressure block C 118, and a pressure block bolt 119. The top extension rod of the extension rod assembly 12 passes through the through hole in the middle of the guide sleeve 115. The guide sleeve 115 is clamped by the waist-shaped hole clamp A 111 and waist-shaped hole clamp B 112, so that the guide sleeve 115 is fitted onto the extension rod assembly 12. The extension rod assembly 12 can rotate inside the guide sleeve 115. The guide sleeve 115 is initially fixed to the waist-shaped hole 5 by the waist-shaped hole clamp A 111 and waist-shaped hole clamp B 112. The waist-shaped hole clamp A 111 and waist-shaped hole clamp B 112 are connected together by the fixing bolt 113. Then, the pressure block A 116, pressure block B 117, and pressure block C 118 are fixed to the waist-shaped hole 5 again by the pressure block bolt 119. Finally, the guide sleeve fine adjustment bolt 114 is used to adjust the precise positioning of the guide sleeve 115.
[0039] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the underwater cleaning main component 2 includes: a connecting shaft 21, a pressure cap 22, a fixing ring 23, a bearing 24, a shaft seal sealing ring 25, a vacuum cleaner connecting connector 26, a lower end cap 27, a brush head 28, a flat key 29, a thin nut 210, a top fixing bolt 211, and a bottom fixing bolt 212.
[0040] The fixing ring 23 is sleeved and connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 21. The pressure cover 22 is placed on the top of the fixing ring 23. The pressure cover 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 21 by the top fixing bolt 211. The pressure cover 22 is used to fix and limit the fixing ring 23.
[0041] The vacuum cleaner connector 26 is fixedly installed on the retaining ring 23, and the vacuum cleaner connector 26 is quickly connected to the underwater vacuum cleaner 219 through the hose 218.
[0042] A bearing 24 is installed between the retaining ring 23 and the connecting shaft 21. When the connecting shaft 21 drives the brush head 28 to rotate, the retaining ring 23 and the vacuum cleaner connector 26 are not affected by the rotation and can remain stationary, preventing the vacuum cleaner hose from getting tangled on the underwater cleaning main body.
[0043] The connecting shaft 21 has an axial flow channel at its center along the axial direction and a radial flow channel in its middle section. The axial and radial flow channels are connected, forming the internal flow channel of the connecting shaft 21. This internal flow channel serves as the channel for the underwater vacuum cleaner to draw water during thread cleaning. A shaft seal ring 25 is fitted into the opening of the radial flow channel of the connecting shaft 21. The shaft seal ring 25 is coaxially arranged with the connecting shaft 21, and has an internal chamber, such as... Figure 8 As shown. The radial flow channel communicates with the internal chamber of the shaft seal ring 25, and the internal chamber of the shaft seal ring 25 communicates with the vacuum cleaner connector 26. The axial flow channel communicates with the opening at the bottom of the connecting shaft 21.
[0044] A gap is provided between the inner side of the shaft seal ring 25 and the outer side of the connecting shaft 21. The two maintain a small gap, which allows for smooth relative rotation between them. This ensures that the fixing ring 23 and the vacuum cleaner connector 26 are not affected by the rotation when the connecting shaft 21 rotates.
[0045] The lower end cover 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing ring 23 by the bottom fixing bolt 212, and the lower end cover 27 is used to fix and limit the shaft seal sealing ring 25.
[0046] The brush head 28 is installed at the lower end of the connecting shaft 21. The thin nut 210 is placed at the bottom of the brush head 28. The thin nut 210 matches the thread 221 at the bottom of the connecting shaft. The thin nut 210 is threadedly connected to the connecting shaft 21. Tightening the thin nut 210 on the connecting shaft 21 presses the thin nut 210 against the bottom of the brush head 28. The thin nut 210 fixes and limits the brush head 28 and prevents the brush head 28 from falling off the connecting shaft 21.
[0047] The lower end of the connecting shaft 21 is provided with a flat key 29, and the inner ring of the brush head 28 is provided with a keyway. The flat key 29 matches the keyway, and the connecting shaft 21 provides circumferential rotational power to the brush head 28 through the flat key 29.
[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, the brush head 28 includes a brush base 281 and a brush 282, with the brush 282 fixedly mounted on the brush base 281. The brush head 28 is the main part of the tool for cleaning, and can clean the threads of the guide posts of the instrument grid within the stack. The tool is driven up and down by the connecting shaft 21 to achieve the cleaning effect. The brush 282 is a custom-made consumable made of silicon carbide; the brush base 281 is made of aluminum alloy.
[0049] The connecting shaft 21 of the underwater cleaning main component is connected to the end of the bottom extension rod of the extension rod assembly 12 of the above-water assembly operation component, and is detachably connected by a pin 17.
[0050] After the dirt on the threads of the guide column screw hole of the instrument grid in the stack is cleaned off by the brush head 28, it enters the internal flow channel of the connecting shaft 21 through the opening at the bottom of the connecting shaft 21 with the water flow, and then enters the internal chamber of the shaft seal sealing ring 25. Finally, it is sucked away by the underwater vacuum cleaner through the vacuum cleaner connection joint 26.
[0051] like Figure 10 As shown, a flow channel 220 is opened on the bottom side of the connecting shaft 21. When the brush head 28 cleans the bottom of the guide post screw hole of the instrument grid in the stack, the opening at the bottom of the connecting shaft 21 may contact the bottom surface of the guide post screw hole. At this time, dirt can enter the internal flow channel of the connecting shaft 21 through the flow channel 220 and then be sucked out by the underwater vacuum cleaner. When cleaning the screw hole, the operator connects the underwater vacuum cleaner to the vacuum cleaner connector 26 of the underwater cleaning main component on the water operating platform. Then, the underwater cleaning main component is extended downward to the top of the guide post 214 of the instrument grid in the stack that needs to be cleaned. Through the observation of the underwater camera, the brush head 28 is aligned with the guide post and placed downward. The brush head 28 slowly enters the guide post screw hole. After the brush head 28 contacts the threaded hole of the guide post of the instrument grid in the stack, the operator starts the underwater vacuum cleaner on the platform and rotates the cleaning tool connecting shaft 21 clockwise to rotate the brush head 28. Through the tool's own gravity or by applying slight downward pressure, the tool moves downward, thus moving the brush head downward to clean the threaded hole. During the thread cleaning process, dirt and foreign objects on the thread surface enter the internal flow channel of the connecting shaft 21 through the opening at the bottom of the connecting shaft 21. After passing through the chamber inside the shaft seal ring 25, they are sucked away by the underwater vacuum cleaner through the vacuum cleaner connecting joint 26. Once the brush head 28 reaches the bottom of the threaded hole, the cleaning tool connecting shaft 21 is rotated counterclockwise to rotate the brush head 28 and apply an upward lifting force to move the tool upward, thus moving the brush head 28 upward to continue cleaning the threaded hole.
[0052] like Figure 10-11As shown, the remote cleaning of the guide post screw holes of the instrument grid inside the reactor core, using a tool provided by this invention, includes the following steps:
[0053] Step 1: Take out the underwater cleaning main unit from the storage box and connect the vacuum cleaner connector 26 of the underwater cleaning main unit to the underwater vacuum cleaner 219 through the hose 218;
[0054] Step 2: Take out the water assembly operation parts from the storage tank, insert the anti-drop rod 13 into the top extension rod of the extension rod assembly 12, and then fix the underwater cleaning main body parts to the end of the bottom extension rod of the extension rod assembly 12 by means of a pin connection.
[0055] Step 3: Continue connecting the other extension rods of extension rod assembly 12 to the adjacent extension rod joints. When installing each extension rod section, insert the anti-drop rod 13 into the currently assembled extension rod to prevent the unassembled tool from falling into the instrument grid guide post 214 inside the stack.
[0056] Step 4: The lifting head assembly 15 above the top extension rod can be connected to the crane to prevent the tool from falling during operation. Then, the universal level 16 is installed below the screw handle assembly 14 to facilitate the operator to observe whether the extension rod is vertical. At the same time, the crane can provide an upward force when grinding the lower surface of the thread.
[0057] Step 5: The operator slowly lowers the extension rod on the platform. The underwater cleaning main component extends downward to the top of the in-pile instrument grid guide post 214 that needs to be cleaned. Observing through the underwater camera, the brush head 28 is aligned with the in-pile instrument grid guide post 214 and placed downward in the same way, so that the brush head 28 is inserted into the screw hole of the in-pile instrument grid guide post.
[0058] Step 6: After the brush head 28 makes contact with the threaded guide post of the instrument grid in the stack, the operator can clearly feel that the tool is lighter. The operator starts the underwater vacuum cleaner 219 on the platform.
[0059] Step 7: After the underwater vacuum cleaner 219 is started, the operator rotates the cleaning tool connecting shaft 21 clockwise, causing the brush head 28 to rotate. Through the tool's own gravity, or by applying slight downward pressure, the tool moves downwards, thus moving the brush head 28 downwards to clean the threaded surface. While cleaning the threaded surface of the threaded hole, the underwater vacuum cleaner sucks away the dirt and foreign objects cleaned from the threaded surface through the bottom opening of the connecting shaft 21 and its internal flow channel via the vacuum cleaner connecting connector 26.
[0060] Step 8: When the brush head 28 reaches the bottom of the screw hole, the operator rotates the cleaning tool connecting shaft 21 counterclockwise to rotate the brush head 28 and applies an upward lifting force to the tool so that the tool moves upward as a whole, thereby moving the brush head 28 upward to clean the thread surface again.
[0061] Step 9: After repeated cleaning, turn off the underwater vacuum cleaner and the operator lifts the main underwater cleaning unit to the top of the operating platform;
[0062] Step 10: Disconnect the connecting hose between the vacuum cleaner connector 26 of the underwater cleaning main component and the underwater vacuum cleaner;
[0063] Step 11: Clean the surface of the main body parts and remove water stains. Finally, put them into the storage box in the designated position for storage.
[0064] Step 12: Sort and process the foreign objects extracted from the underwater vacuum cleaner according to regulations.
[0065] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All contents not described in detail in the present invention can be derived from existing technologies.
