Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic-resistant cable trays and high-temperature resistant technology, specifically to an integrated system of seismic-resistant cable trays and supports for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors used in nuclear islands. Background Technology

[0002] In the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor environment of the nuclear island, cable trays and support systems, as key nuclear power equipment, must simultaneously withstand the combined effects of high-temperature radiation (≥300℃), strong seismic loads (0.15g~0.3g), and complex mechanical loads. Traditional technical solutions have the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Insufficient high-temperature resistance and creep resistance of the material.

[0004] Existing cable trays are mostly made of ordinary stainless steel (such as 304 / 316L) or glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), and their maximum operating temperature is usually ≤200℃ (GB / T 20878-2007). Under the conditions of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors above 300℃, stainless steel is prone to sensitization and embrittlement, while GFRP suffers a mechanical property degradation of more than 50% due to resin decomposition.

[0005] 2. Passive seismic resistance systems result in low energy dissipation efficiency.

[0006] Conventional supports and hangers use rigid connections or ordinary rubber shock absorbers, with a damping ratio (ζ) typically ≤0.05 (GB50011-2010). Under seismic wave input, the peak vibration acceleration of the system can reach 0.8g, and the residual deformation exceeds 10mm, which can easily lead to cable detachment or equipment damage.

[0007] 3. Poor adaptability to dynamic loads and limited control strategies.

[0008] Existing systems mostly use fixed-rigidity supports and hangers, making it impossible to adjust the system frequency according to real-time loads. When the equipment operating frequency overlaps with the natural frequency of the cable tray-support system, resonance will occur, resulting in an acceleration response amplification factor of 5 to 8 times. In addition, traditional PID control, due to its fixed parameters, exhibits a steady-state error exceeding 10% and an overshoot of up to 15% under nonlinear loads (such as seismic waves superimposed on mechanical vibrations).

[0009] 4. Low reliability of connectors leads to structural instability.

[0010] Ordinary bolted connections are prone to loosening under vibration conditions, and their locking force attenuation rate can reach 30% / year (ISO2738-2008).

[0011] In summary, existing technologies cannot meet the stringent requirements of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nuclear islands for cable trays and support systems, which demand high temperature resistance, strong seismic resistance, adaptive control, and high reliability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated seismic-resistant cable tray and support system for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nuclear islands to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated system of anti-seismic cable trays and supports for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nuclear islands, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated system of seismic-resistant cable trays and supports for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nuclear islands, comprising a cable tray body, a support system, and an integrated control unit. The cable tray body adopts a multi-layer composite structure, with an outer layer of chromium-aluminum-silicon alloy and an inner layer of silicon carbide fiber reinforcement. The support system includes a dynamic damping device and self-locking connectors, and the damping coefficient satisfies the following conditions: In the formula, c is the damping constant, m is the equivalent mass, and k is the stiffness. The integrated control unit adjusts the stiffness of the support and hanger through real-time load monitoring. The adjustment algorithm is as follows: In the formula, β is the stiffness adjustment coefficient. For reference acceleration.

[0014] Preferably, the composition of the chromium-aluminum-silicon alloy layer satisfies: Fe 55 Cr 25 Al 15 Si 5±2%, and after solution treatment at 1150℃, the volume fraction of the grain boundary precipitate satisfies: V ppt =1-e -3.2t In the formula, t is the heat preservation time.

[0015] Preferably, the silicon carbide fiber reinforcement layer adopts a three-dimensional braided structure, with a fiber volume fraction V f satisfy: In the formula, σ ult E is the ultimate stress of the matrix. f ε is the fiber modulus. crit The critical strain is given.

[0016] Preferably, the dynamic damping device is a magnetorheological fluid damper, and the damping force is calculated using the following formula: In the formula, η is the viscosity, A is the effective area, and τ is the viscosity. y For yield stress, This represents the velocity gradient.

[0017] Preferably, the self-locking connector adopts a double wedge structure, and the locking force meets the following requirements: In the formula, μ is the friction coefficient, N is the normal force, and θ is the wedge angle.

[0018] Preferably, the integrated control unit employs a fuzzy PID control algorithm, and the control law of the fuzzy PID control algorithm includes the following steps:

[0019] First, calculate the error e and the rate of change of error between the actual output and the expected output of the system.

[0020] Let error e and the rate of change of error be used. Fuzzification is the process of mapping them to the membership function of a fuzzy set;

[0021] Fuzzy reasoning is performed based on rules in a fuzzy rule base, which typically contains a series of "if-then" rules, for example:

[0022] If the error is large and the rate of change of the error is large, then increase the proportional gain;

[0023] If the error is small and the rate of change of the error is small, then reduce the integral gain;

[0024] The results of fuzzy inference are defuzzified to obtain specific PID parameter adjustment values;

[0025] Based on the defuzzification results, adjust the parameter K of the PID controller. p K i and K d The control output u(t) is calculated using the adjusted PID parameters and applied to the controlled object.

[0026] The specific control law can be expressed as: Among them, K p K i and K d The parameters are optimized using the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and the error e(t) is the difference between the set load and the measured load.

[0027] Preferably, the total thickness of the cable tray body satisfies the formula: In the formula, P max Where v is the maximum design load, E is the elastic modulus, α is the coefficient of thermal expansion, and ΔT is the temperature difference.

[0028] Preferably, the surface of the cable tray body is coated with a zirconium oxide-based thermal barrier coating, and the coating thickness meets the following requirements: In the formula, k is the thermal conductivity, and t life For the design life, ρc p It is the heat capacity.

[0029] This invention provides an integrated system of seismic-resistant cable trays and supports for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors used in nuclear islands. It offers the following advantages:

[0030] (1) This invention significantly improves the seismic resistance of the system under extreme conditions through the synergistic effect of the dynamic damping device and the self-locking connector. The magnetorheological fluid damper is designed based on the Bingham fluid model and uses the damping force formula to ensure that the peak vibration acceleration of the equipment is reduced from 0.8g to 0.3g under a seismic acceleration of 0.15g, and the residual deformation is ≤5mm. The self-locking connector is designed with a wedge angle of θ = 45° and uses the locking force formula to ensure that the locking force reaches 1500N when the normal force is 5000N, and no loosening occurs during vibration, thus achieving excellent seismic performance and structural safety.

[0031] (2) The cable tray body of this invention adopts a composite structure of a chromium-aluminum-silicon alloy layer and a silicon carbide fiber reinforcement layer. The thickness is optimized using a formula to ensure that the thermal stress is reduced by 40% under a temperature difference of 300℃. After the chromium-aluminum-silicon alloy layer is solution treated at 1150℃, the volume fraction of the grain boundary precipitate increases the creep resistance by 25%. The fiber volume fraction of the silicon carbide fiber reinforcement layer increases the bending strength to 1200MPa, which is 50% higher than that of the substrate. The zirconia-based thermal barrier coating uses a thickness formula to ensure that the surface temperature is ≤200℃, and the radiative heat transfer ratio is only 15% at 1200℃, which significantly extends the service life of the equipment.

[0032] (3) The integrated control unit of this invention adopts a fuzzy PID algorithm and optimizes parameters through a particle swarm optimization algorithm to achieve dynamic shift of the system's natural frequency when the load changes, avoiding resonance, and the response time is ≤0.2s. Verified by a Simulink model, the steady-state error under nonlinear load is ≤2%, and the overshoot is reduced to 5%, significantly improving the control accuracy and stability of the system under complex working conditions.

[0054] Vibration modes are analyzed using Fourier transform to ensure the dominant frequency f dom Avoid the equipment resonance zone

[0055] When using,

[0056] 1. Load transfer and cable tray bearing capacity

[0057] The cable is supported by a multi-layer composite cable tray body (chromium aluminum silicon alloy layer + silicon carbide fiber reinforcement layer). The thickness of the cable tray is optimized by the thermal stress balance formula to ensure structural stability under a maximum design load of 120kN and a temperature difference of 300℃.

[0058] 2. Vibration Suppression and Energy Dissipation

[0059] The magnetorheological fluid damper of the support system adjusts the damping force in real time using the Bingham fluid model to absorb seismic or equipment vibration energy, reducing the peak vibration acceleration from 0.8g to 0.3g. The self-locking connector, through a wedge-angle design, utilizes the friction self-locking principle to prevent the connection from loosening, ensuring reliable load transmission.

[0060] 3. Dynamic stiffness adjustment and resonance avoidance

[0061] The integrated control unit monitors load changes in real time through sensors and dynamically adjusts the stiffness of the supports and hangers based on a fuzzy PID algorithm, so that the system's natural frequency shifts away from the equipment's resonance zone, thus preventing resonance from occurring.

[0062] 4. High-temperature protection and thermal management

[0063] The zirconia-based thermal barrier coating on the cable tray surface forms a low thermal conductivity barrier through plasma spraying. Combined with the thickness formula, it ensures that the surface temperature is ≤200℃ in high-temperature environments. At the same time, the composite structure of the chromium aluminum silicon alloy layer and the silicon carbide fiber reinforcement layer further reduces the impact of high temperature on the structure through thermal stress balance design.

[0064] In summary, this invention integrates material optimization, dynamic control, and energy dissipation technology to achieve high seismic resistance, high temperature resistance, and adaptive control functions for cable trays and supports in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor environment of the nuclear island.
