Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this application relate to the field of solid material crushing technology, specifically to a material grinding and processing apparatus and a device suitable for mixing radioactive materials. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein are provided merely as background information in connection with this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Spent fuel refers to nuclear fuel that has been used in a reactor for a period of time and contains recyclable nuclides. Spent fuel typically requires recycling and processing.

[0004] Currently, molten salt electrolytic refining is a common method for processing spent fuel and recycling it. This method primarily involves dissolving nuclides from the spent fuel in molten salt through an electrolytic reaction, which then precipitates them from the cathode. The precipitates from the cathode are then recovered. However, the molten salt after electrolysis contains a large number of impurities, such as fragmented elements, which severely affect the recycling and reuse of the molten salt medium. Therefore, further processing of the molten salt is necessary. However, current equipment for molten salt processing cannot meet the requirements and needs to be upgraded. Summary of the Invention

[0051] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by a person with ordinary skills in the field to which this application pertains.

[0052] In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0053] In the process of treating waste molten salt, in order to ensure the treatment effect, it is usually necessary to determine the amount of waste molten salt to be treated. However, the waste molten salt treatment equipment in related technologies cannot meet the requirements for storing and weighing radioactive materials, and further improvements are needed.

[0054] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a material grinding and processing apparatus. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a material crushing and grinding assembly according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a material storage and conveying assembly according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the material grinding and processing apparatus 100 includes a material crushing and grinding assembly 10 and a storage and conveying assembly 14. The material crushing and grinding assembly 10 is used to crush and grind radioactive materials so that the size of the processed radioactive materials meets a predetermined size; the storage and conveying assembly 14 is configured to receive the radioactive materials processed by the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 and weigh them, and when the weight of the radioactive materials meets a predetermined weight, to convey the received radioactive materials to a material suction device 31, so that the material suction device 31 can suction the materials to the next process.

[0055] The material grinding and processing apparatus 100 provided in the embodiments of this application uses the material crushing and grinding component 10 to crush and grind radioactive materials so that the size of the processed radioactive materials can reach a predetermined size. By using a crushing and grinding process on the radioactive materials, it is possible to ensure that the radioactive materials are ground relatively thoroughly as a whole, which is beneficial to improving the grinding effect of the radioactive materials and ensuring that the particle size of the radioactive materials meets the predetermined size. The radioactive materials of the predetermined size obtained after grinding are transported to the storage and conveying component 14 for storage and weighing. This can solve the problem of storing and weighing radioactive materials. When the weight of the radioactive materials meets the predetermined weight, the received radioactive materials are transported to the material suction device 31, which can realize automatic and real-time conveying of radioactive materials and has a high degree of automation.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 includes a crushing assembly 11, a connecting assembly 12, and a grinding assembly 13. The crushing assembly 11 is used to crush the radioactive material to initially change its size. The grinding assembly 13 is connected to the crushing assembly 11 via the connecting assembly 12 and is used to receive the crushed radioactive material and grind it to obtain radioactive material of a predetermined size. The storage and conveying assembly 14 is connected to the grinding assembly 13 via the connecting assembly 12 and is used to receive and weigh the radioactive material. When the weight of the radioactive material meets a predetermined weight, the received radioactive material is conveyed to the next process. The grinding assembly 13 is also configured to temporarily store the crushed radioactive material during the receiving process.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the engagement of a crushing component and a grinding component according to one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the crushing assembly 11 forms a crushing discharge port 1112, and the grinding assembly 13 forms a grinding feed port 1301. The crushing discharge port 1112 and the grinding feed port 1301 are connected by a connecting assembly 12. The crushing discharge port 1112 and the grinding feed port 1301 are arranged opposite to each other, and the crushing discharge port 1112 is located above the grinding feed port 1301. The crushing discharge port 1112 is used to allow the crushed radioactive material to leave the crushing assembly 11. The grinding feed port 1301 is used to receive the crushed radioactive material and allow it to enter the interior of the grinding assembly 13.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, the crushing outlet 1112 of the crushing component 11 is connected to the grinding inlet 1301 of the grinding component 13 by the connecting component 12, and the crushing outlet 1112 is positioned above the grinding inlet 1301. This facilitates the automatic exit of the crushed radioactive material from the crushing component 11 under the action of gravity and its entry into the grinding component 13 for grinding. No additional driving device is required to drive the movement of the radioactive material, resulting in high reliability.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a crushing component according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the crushing assembly 11 includes a first crushing body 111, a second crushing body 112, a crushing drive component 113, and a plurality of crushing components 114.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first crushing body 111 has a crushing inlet 1111 and a crushing outlet 1112, and the first crushing body 111 also has a crushing chamber 1113. The radioactive material to be crushed can enter the crushing chamber 1113 through the crushing inlet 1111, and the radioactive material that has been crushed in the crushing chamber 1113 can enter the grinding assembly 13 through the crushing outlet 1112.

[0061] In some embodiments, a plurality of crushing components 114 are fixedly disposed on a second crushing body 112, the second crushing body 112 is disposed in a crushing chamber 1113, and is respectively connected to a first crushing body 111 and a crushing drive component 113.

[0062] In some embodiments, the crushing drive 113 is used to drive the second crushing body 112 to rotate, thereby driving multiple crushing parts 114 to rotate. During the rotation of the crushing parts 114, radioactive materials in the crushing chamber 1113 can be crushed.

[0063] In some embodiments, an operator may manually feed the radioactive material to be crushed into the crushing assembly 11 through the crushing inlet 1111, or an automatic feeding device, such as a robotic arm, may feed the radioactive material to be crushed into the crushing assembly 11 through the crushing inlet 1111.

[0064] It is understood that the above-described method of loading radioactive material to be crushed into the crushing component 11 is merely exemplary and does not impose any limitation on this application.

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a connection component according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial enlarged view of the connecting components shown, as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the crushing outlet 1112 and the grinding inlet 1301 respectively form a first connecting mating part 1110. The connecting assembly 12 includes a plurality of connectors 121, a connecting conveyor 122, and a plurality of second connecting mating parts 123. The connecting conveyor 122 has openings at both ends, and the size of the openings matches the size of the crushing outlet 1112 and the grinding inlet 1301, for conveying radioactive materials. Each second connecting mating part 123 is respectively disposed opposite to both ends of the connecting conveyor 122, and the second connecting mating part 123 is disposed opposite to the first connecting mating part 1110. Each connector 121 is used to seal and connect with the first connecting mating part 1110 and the second connecting mating part 123 located on the same side, so that the crushing outlet 1112 and the grinding inlet 1301 are connected.

[0066] The embodiments of this application provide first connecting parts 1110 at the crushing discharge port 1112 and the grinding feed port 1301, so that the first connecting parts 1110 can cooperate with the second connecting parts 123 in the connecting assembly 12, thereby connecting the crushing discharge port 1112 and the grinding feed port 1301, ensuring that the radioactive material after crushing can smoothly enter the grinding assembly 13, and avoiding the leakage of radioactive material during the transportation process.

[0067] In some embodiments, the connector 121 includes a connecting portion 1211 and a plurality of sealing portions 1212. Each connecting portion 1211 is used to be fixedly connected with a first connecting mating portion 1110 and a second connecting mating portion 123 located on the same side. The plurality of sealing portions 1212 are respectively disposed on the side of each first connecting mating portion 1110 away from the second connecting mating portion 123 opposite to it, and on the side of each second connecting mating portion 123 away from the first connecting mating portion 123 opposite to it, for sealing the connection portion 1211, the first connecting mating portion 1110 and the second connecting mating portion 123.

[0068] The embodiments of this application configure the connector 121 to include a connecting portion 1211 and a plurality of sealing portions 1212. The connecting portion 1211 can be used to fix the first connecting mating portion 1110 and the second connecting mating portion 123 together, ensuring the stability of the connection between the first connecting mating portion 1110 and the second connecting mating portion 123. Then, the sealing portion 1212 is provided between the connecting portion 1211, the first connecting mating portion 1110 and the second connecting mating portion 123 to prevent leakage during the transportation of radioactive materials.

[0069] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 1211 may be a flange. In such embodiments, the sealing portion 1212 may be provided at the position where each first connecting portion 1110 contacts the flange, and at the position where each second connecting portion 123 contacts the flange.

[0070] It is understood that using the flange as the connecting part 1211 is merely one embodiment of this application. The connecting part 1211 can be any other component capable of fixing the first connecting mating part 1110 and the second connecting mating part 123 located on the same side.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 7 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a grinding assembly according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the grinding assembly 13 includes a material storage component 131 and a grinding component 132. The grinding inlet 1301 is disposed on the material storage component 131. The material storage component 131 is configured to temporarily store the radioactive material entering through the grinding inlet 1301, and then transport the temporarily stored radioactive material into the grinding component 132. The grinding component 132 is used to grind the radioactive material.

[0072] The embodiments of this application configure the grinding assembly 13 to include a material storage component 131 and a grinding component 132. During the process of conveying radioactive materials into the grinding component 132, the radioactive materials are first temporarily stored in the material storage component 131 to avoid the accumulation of radioactive materials in the grinding component 132 and to ensure the grinding effect of the grinding component 132.

[0073] In some embodiments, the grinding element 132 includes a grinding body 1321, a grinding filter section 1322, a first grinding section 1323, a plurality of second grinding sections 1324, and a grinding drive section 1325. The grinding body 1321 forms a grinding inlet 1301 and a grinding outlet 1302, and the grinding body 1321 also forms a grinding chamber 1303. The radioactive material that has undergone crushing can enter the grinding chamber 1303 through the grinding inlet 1301, and the radioactive material that has undergone grinding in the grinding chamber 1303 can enter the storage and conveying assembly through the grinding outlet 1302.

[0074] In some embodiments, a grinding filter section 1322 is disposed within a grinding chamber 1303, and the shape of the grinding filter section 1322 is configured to match the shape of the inner wall of the grinding chamber 1303, and a first gap 135 is formed between the grinding filter section 1322 and the inner wall of the grinding chamber 1303. The grinding filter section 1322 is used to filter radioactive materials, allowing radioactive materials of a predetermined size to pass through the grinding filter section 1322 and enter the storage and conveying assembly via the grinding outlet 1302.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first portion of the second grinding part 1324 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the grinding chamber 1303 and is disposed radially inside the grinding and filtering part 1322. The second portion of the second grinding part 1324 is symmetrically arranged with the first portion of the second grinding part 1324. A second gap 136 is provided between every two symmetrically arranged second grinding parts 1324.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first grinding section 1323 is configured to rotate along the second gap 136 under the drive of the grinding drive section 1325, and to grind the crushed radioactive material during its rotation.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the material storage component 131 includes a barrier section 1311, a storage section 1312, and a control section. The storage section 1312 is connected to the grinding component 132 and is used to temporarily store radioactive material entering through the grinding inlet 1301. The barrier section 1311 is disposed at the connection between the storage section 1312 and the grinding component 132 and is configured to move at the connection to adjust the size of the opening at the connection. The control section is communicatively connected to the barrier section 1311 and is used to control the movement of the barrier section 1311. The grinding inlet 1301 is disposed on the storage section 1312.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, the barrier 1311 is disposed at the connection between the temporary storage section 1312 and the polishing member 132. Then, the movement of the barrier 1311 is controlled by the control section to control whether the barrier 1311 allows or blocks the radioactive material in the temporary storage section 1312 from entering the polishing member 132. The response is relatively timely, which is beneficial to more accurately and timely control the flow rate of radioactive material entering the polishing member 132.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the storage and conveying assembly 14 includes a storage assembly 141, a conveying assembly 142, and a transition member 143. The storage assembly 141 is used to receive and weigh radioactive materials. The conveying assembly 142 is connected to the storage assembly 141 via the transition member 143 and is used to convey the radioactive materials in the storage assembly 141 so that the material suction device 31 can extract the radioactive materials. The transition member 143 is configured to temporarily store the radioactive materials conveyed from the storage assembly 141 and then convey the radioactive materials to the conveying assembly 142.

[0080] The embodiments of this application connect the storage component 141 and the conveying component 142 via a transition member 143. During the process of conveying radioactive materials from the storage component 141 to the conveying component 142, the transition member 143 can be used to temporarily store the radioactive materials, thereby preventing the accumulation of radioactive materials during the conveying process and ensuring that the radioactive materials can be smoothly conveyed to the material suction device 31.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the material conveying assembly 142 includes a material conveying connector 1421, a material conveying component 1423, and a material conveying drive component 1422. The material conveying connector 1421 is connected to the material storage assembly 141 via a transition component 143. The material conveying component 1423 is disposed within the material conveying connector 1421 and is used to move under the drive of the material conveying drive component 1422, and to drive the radioactive material to move during the movement, thereby conveying the radioactive material to the material suction device 31.

[0082] In some embodiments, the conveying member 1423 may be configured as a spiral component, which rotates clockwise or counterclockwise under the drive of the conveying drive member 1422 to drive the radioactive material to move.

[0083] In some embodiments, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the mating of the grinding assembly and the material conveying assembly according to an embodiment of this application, omitting the connecting components. Figure 8As shown, the storage and conveying assembly 14 forms a storage inlet 1401, and the grinding assembly 13 forms a grinding outlet 1302. The grinding outlet 1302 is connected to the storage inlet 1401 through the connecting assembly 12, and the grinding outlet 1302 is located above the storage inlet 1401, so that the radioactive material that has been crushed and ground in the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 can enter the storage inlet 1401 through the grinding outlet 1302 under the action of gravity, and thus be transported into the storage assembly 141.

[0084] In the embodiments of this application, the grinding outlet 1302 of the grinding component 13 is connected to the storage inlet 1401 of the storage and conveying component 14 by the connecting component 12. This facilitates the automatic exit of the grinding component 13 under the action of gravity of the ground radioactive material and its entry into the storage and conveying component 14. No additional driving device is required to drive the movement of the radioactive material, resulting in high reliability.

[0085] In some embodiments, the storage inlet 1401 and the grinding outlet 1302 respectively form a third connecting mating part. The connecting assembly 12 includes a plurality of connectors 121, a connecting conveyor 122, and a plurality of second connecting mating parts 123. The connecting conveyor 122 has openings at both ends, and the size of the openings matches the size of the storage inlet 1401 and the grinding outlet 1302 for conveying radioactive materials. Each second connecting mating part 123 is respectively disposed opposite to both ends of the connecting conveyor 122, and the second connecting mating part 123 is disposed opposite to the third connecting mating part. Each connector 121 is used to seal and connect with the third connecting mating part and the second connecting mating part 123 located on the same side, so that the grinding outlet 1302 and the storage inlet 1401 are connected.

[0086] The embodiments of this application provide third connecting parts at the storage inlet 1401 and the grinding outlet 1302, respectively, so that the third connecting parts can cooperate with the second connecting part 123 in the connecting assembly 12, thereby connecting the storage inlet 1401 and the grinding outlet 1302, ensuring that the ground radioactive material can smoothly enter the storage conveying assembly 14, and avoiding leakage of radioactive material during the conveying process.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first connecting mating part 1110 and the third connecting mating part may be the same.

[0088] In some embodiments, the connector 121 includes a plurality of connecting portions 1211 and a plurality of sealing portions 1212. Each connecting portion 1211 is fixedly connected to a third connecting mating portion and a second connecting mating portion 123 located on the same side. The plurality of sealing portions 1212 are respectively disposed on the side of each third connecting mating portion away from the second connecting mating portion opposite to it, and on the side of each second connecting mating portion 123 away from the third connecting mating portion opposite to it, for sealing the connection portions 1211, the third connecting mating portions, and the second connecting mating portions 123.

[0089] The embodiments of this application configure the connector 121 to include a connecting part 1211 and a plurality of sealing parts 1212. The connecting part 1211 can be used to fix the third connecting mating part and the second connecting mating part 123 to ensure the stability of the connection between the third connecting mating part and the second connecting mating part 123. Then, the sealing part 1212 is provided between the connecting part 1211, the third connecting mating part and the second connecting mating part 123 to prevent leakage during the transportation of radioactive materials.

[0090] In some embodiments, Figure 9 This is an installation diagram of a material storage assembly according to one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the storage assembly 141 includes a storage body 1411, an exhaust vent 1412, a vibrating element 1413, a weighing element 1414, and a weighing mounting element 1415. The weighing mounting element 1415 supports the storage body 1411. The storage body 1411 receives processed radioactive material. The exhaust vent 1412 is located on top of the storage body 1411 to allow gas to escape from the storage body 1411 and is configured to prevent the radioactive material from escaping from the storage body 1411. The weighing element 1414 is configured to weigh the radioactive material in the storage body 1411. The vibrating element 1413 is configured to vibrate the radioactive material stored in the storage body 1411 to prevent the accumulation of radioactive material.

[0091] In this embodiment, the exhaust device 1412 is located on the top of the storage body 1411, which facilitates the discharge of gas from the storage body 1411 and prevents the escape of radioactive material from the storage body 1411 while venting. The vibration device 1413 is used to vibrate the radioactive material stored in the storage body 1411, which helps to prevent the accumulation of radioactive material during the transportation process and ensures that the radioactive material can be transported smoothly. Then, the weighing device 1414 is used to weigh the radioactive material in the storage body 1411, which can accurately obtain the weight of the radioactive material in the storage body 1411, thereby facilitating the subsequent processing of the radioactive material.

[0092] In some embodiments, the weighing mounting member 1415 is formed with a mounting opening 14151, through which the storage body 1411 can pass and be supported on the weighing mounting member 1415.

[0093] In some embodiments, there are multiple vibrating elements 1413, and the multiple vibrating elements 1413 are evenly distributed along the bottom of the storage body 1411.

[0094] The embodiments of this application, by uniformly arranging multiple vibrating elements 1413 at the bottom of the storage body 1411, are beneficial to further improve the vibration effect on the radioactive materials inside the storage body 1411.

[0095] In some embodiments, there are multiple weighing elements 1414, which are fixedly connected to the weighing mounting element 1415 and the storage body 1411 respectively, and are distributed circumferentially along the storage body 1411 so that the storage body 1411 is supported on the weighing mounting element 1415 by the multiple weighing elements 1414.

[0096] The embodiments of this application provide a plurality of weighing elements 1414 outside the storage body 1411 to weigh the radioactive material inside the storage body 1411, which helps to improve the reliability of the weighing results.

[0097] In some embodiments, the storage body 1411 may include a first storage section 14112 and a second storage section 14113, with the first storage section 14112 and the second storage section 14113 fixedly connected. Radioactive material flowing out of the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 first enters the first storage section 14112, then enters the second storage section 14113, and then flows out from the second storage section 14113 to be conveyed into the conveying assembly 142. In such an embodiment, the second storage section 14113 may be configured with a shape in which the cross-sectional area gradually decreases along its axial direction, for example, it may be configured as a funnel, which is beneficial to improve the flowability of radioactive material in the second storage section 14113.

[0098] In some embodiments, a plurality of weighing elements 1414 may be respectively disposed on the first storage section 14112 and located at the end where the first storage section 14112 and the second storage section 14113 are connected.

[0099] In some embodiments, a plurality of vibrating elements 1413 may be respectively disposed on the second storage section 14113.

[0100] In some embodiments, the second storage portion 14113 of the storage body 1411 is configured to pass through the mounting opening 14151 of the weighing mount 1415.

[0101] In some embodiments, the storage body 1411 forms a storage cavity 14111 for containing processed radioactive material. Figure 10 This is a structural schematic diagram of a vibration element according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the vibrating element 1413 includes a gas flow section 14131, a fixing section 14132, and a blocking section 14133. The gas flow section 14131 is located at the bottom of the storage cavity 14111 and partially extends outside the storage cavity 14111. It allows gas from outside the storage cavity 14111 to enter the storage cavity 14111 when radioactive material accumulates inside, thereby vibrating the radioactive material and preventing its accumulation. The fixing section 14132 is located at the bottom of the storage cavity 14111. Outside the cavity 14111, a gas flow section 14131 is used to connect the gas flow section 14131 to the storage body 1411; a blocking section 14133 is disposed inside the storage cavity 14111 and connected to the gas flow section 14131, and is configured to deform under the action of external force, so as to prevent the radioactive material in the storage cavity 14111 from flowing out through the gas flow section 14131 when no gas is introduced into the gas flow section 14131, and to allow the gas to vibrate the radioactive material when gas is introduced into the gas flow section 14131.

[0102] The embodiments of this application configure the vibrating element 1413 as including a gas flow section 14131, a fixing section 14132, and a blocking section 14133. When it is necessary to vibrate the radioactive material in the storage chamber 14111, air is introduced into the storage chamber 14111 through the gas flow section 14131 to vibrate the radioactive material and prevent its accumulation. When it is not necessary to vibrate the radioactive material in the storage chamber 14111, the blocking section 14133 prevents the radioactive material in the storage chamber 14111 from flowing out through the gas flow section 14131, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing radioactive material leakage.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first storage section 14112 and the second storage section 14113 together form a storage cavity 14111.

[0104] In some embodiments, the blocking portion 14133 may be configured in a funnel shape with its opening facing the inner wall of the second storage portion 14113. In such an embodiment, when no gas is introduced into the gas flow portion 14131, the blocking portion 14133 can be disposed close to or against the inner wall of the second storage portion 14113. When gas is introduced into the gas flow portion 14131, the movement of the gas causes the blocking portion 14133 to deform, thereby generating vibration and transmitting the vibration to the radioactive material, achieving the purpose of vibrating the radioactive material.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, the gas flow section 14131 forms a gas inlet 14134 and a plurality of gas outlets 14135. The gas inlet 14134 is located outside the storage chamber 14111, and the gas outlets 14135 are located inside the storage chamber 14111. Gas flows in through the gas inlet 14134 and then flows out through the plurality of gas outlets 14135 respectively.

[0106] The embodiments of this application, by providing multiple gas outlets 14135 in the gas circulation section 14131, facilitate the increase of the indirect contact area between the gas and the radioactive material in the storage chamber 14111, thereby improving the vibration effect on the radioactive material.

[0107] In some embodiments, the gas flow section 14131 forms a gas flow channel 14130, and the gas flow channel 14130 is configured to penetrate the side wall of the storage cavity 14111. One end of the gas flow channel 14130 located outside the storage cavity 14111 is connected to the gas inlet 14134, and the other end of the gas flow channel 14130 located inside the storage cavity 14111 is connected to a plurality of gas outlets 14135 respectively.

[0108] In some embodiments, Figure 11 This is a bottom view of an exhaust component according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 The schematic diagram of the exhaust body in the exhaust system shown is as follows: Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the exhaust component 1412 includes an exhaust body 14121, an exhaust filter 14122, and an exhaust cover 14123. The exhaust body 14121 is fixedly connected to the storage body 1411 and is configured to allow gas to circulate within the storage body 1411. The exhaust cover 14123 is detachably connected to the exhaust body 14121 and forms an exhaust outlet 14124 to allow gas to be discharged from the storage body 1411. The exhaust filter 14122 is disposed between the exhaust body 14121 and the exhaust cover 14123 to prevent radioactive materials from escaping from the storage body 1411. The exhaust body 14121 is also configured to support and fix the exhaust filter 14122.

[0109] In the embodiments of this application, the exhaust body 14121 and the exhaust cover 14123 are detachably connected, and the exhaust filter 14122 is disposed between the exhaust body 14121 and the exhaust cover 14123. This facilitates the replacement of the exhaust filter 14122 and ensures the filtration effect of radioactive powder while exhausting.

[0110] In some embodiments, the exhaust filter 14122 may be a filter screen or any other component capable of performing a filtration function.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the exhaust body 14121 can be configured as an annular component with a certain thickness, and the exhaust filter 14122 can be disposed at its end near the exhaust cover 14123, and is pressed together with the exhaust body 14121 by the exhaust filter 14122. In such an embodiment, the exhaust component 1412 further includes an auxiliary support 14125, which is disposed on the inner wall of the exhaust body 14121 and integrally formed with the exhaust body 14121, for auxiliary support of the exhaust filter 14122.

[0112] In some embodiments, the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 is provided with an air inlet for receiving gas blown in by a compressor blowing device so that the processed radioactive material enters the storage and conveying assembly 14.

[0113] The embodiments of this application provide an air inlet on the material crushing and grinding assembly 10, so that gas can enter the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 through the air inlet, thereby driving the radioactive material in the material crushing and grinding assembly 10 to move to the storage and conveying assembly 14, avoiding the situation of radioactive material residue or accumulation when conveying radioactive material to the storage and conveying assembly 14.

[0114] In some embodiments, an air inlet may be provided on the grinding body 1321 of the grinding assembly 13.

[0115] In some embodiments, the compressor is further configured to be in fluid communication with the gas inlet 14134 of the gas flow section 14131 for introducing gas into the storage chamber 14111 through the gas inlet 14134 to vibrate the radioactive material.

[0116] Embodiments of this application also provide an apparatus suitable for mixing radioactive materials. Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of a device for mixing radioactive materials according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 14 yes Figure 13 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another angle of a device suitable for mixing radioactive materials, as shown below. Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the device includes: a material grinding and processing apparatus 100, a material suction device 31, and a material mixing device 300 according to embodiments of this application. The material grinding and processing apparatus 100 is used to crush and grind radioactive materials to obtain powdered materials with a predetermined size, and is also configured to store and transport radioactive materials; the material suction device 31 is configured to extract the radioactive materials transported by the material grinding and processing apparatus 100 and transport the extracted radioactive materials to the material mixing device 300; the material mixing device 300 is used to mix the radioactive materials with pre-stored powder to be mixed to obtain a mixture with a mixing degree that meets predetermined requirements.

[0117] The embodiments of this application provide an apparatus suitable for mixing radioactive materials. The material grinding and processing device 100 crushes and grinds the radioactive materials, which helps to improve the grinding effect of the radioactive materials and ensures that the radioactive materials are fully ground as a whole. The material grinding and processing device 100 is set to transport the radioactive materials of a predetermined size obtained after grinding to the material suction device 31 when the weight of the radioactive materials meets the predetermined weight. This can solve the problem of storing and weighing radioactive materials. Then, the material suction device 31 extracts the predetermined weight of radioactive materials into the material mixing device 300 and mixes them with the pre-stored powder to be mixed. This can realize the automatic and real-time transportation and mixing of radioactive materials, with a high degree of automation.

[0118] In some embodiments, Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a material mixing device and a material suction device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 16 yes Figure 15 The cross-sectional view shown is of the material mixing device and the material suction device in combination. Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the material suction device 31 includes a material suction drive 311, a material conveying component 312, and a conveying connector. The material conveying component 312 forms a material inlet 3121 and a material outlet 3122. The material inlet 3121 is connected to the material storage device 500 through the conveying connector. The material suction drive 311 is configured to evacuate the material conveying component 312 to form a negative pressure, so that the material in the material storage device 500 enters the material conveying component 312 through the conveying connector. The material outlet 3122 is connected to the mixing component 32 for conveying the suctioned material into the mixing component 32.

[0119] The embodiments of this application connect the material inlet 3121 of the material conveying component 312 to the material storage device 500 via the conveying connector, and use negative pressure suction to convey the material into the mixing component 32. This is beneficial for achieving the purpose of long-distance material conveying, avoiding material blockage in the material conveying component 312, and maintaining a vacuum during the material conveying process to avoid material leakage and contamination.

[0120] In some embodiments, the delivery connector may be a delivery pipeline.

[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the material mixing device 300 includes a stirring assembly 34, a mixing assembly 32, a body 400, and a collecting assembly 35. The mixing assembly 32 is used to hold various materials to be mixed and is configured to heat the materials during the mixing process; the stirring assembly 34 is configured to hold and stir the materials in the mixing assembly 32 according to different mixing degree requirements, so that the mixing degree of the mixture obtained after stirring meets the predetermined mixing degree; the collecting assembly 35 is configured to collect the mixture in the mixing assembly 32; the body 400 is used to install the mixing assembly 32, the stirring assembly 34, and the collecting assembly 35.

[0122] The material mixing device 300 provided in the embodiments of this application uses a stirring component 34 to stir a variety of materials to be mixed in a mixing component 32, and also uses the mixing component 32 to heat the materials during the stirring process so that the mixing degree of the mixture after stirring meets the predetermined mixing degree. This can realize the automatic mixing of multiple materials without the need for operator intervention, and has a high degree of automation. At the same time, heating the materials helps to improve the mixing efficiency of the materials.

[0123] In some embodiments, the materials to be mixed may include radioactive and non-radioactive materials. Using the material mixing device 300 provided in this application embodiment, no operator intervention is required during the material conveying process, which can avoid operators being irradiated and ensure the safety of operators.

[0124] In some embodiments, the material mixing device 300 is suitable for processing waste molten salt. The various materials to be mixed include waste molten salt powder, glass powder, and ceramic powder. The material mixing device 300 can mix the waste molten salt powder, glass powder, and ceramic powder for subsequent glass curing. The waste molten salt powder is a radioactive material, while the glass powder and ceramic powder are non-radioactive materials.

[0125] It is understood that using the above-mentioned material mixing device 300 to process waste molten salt is only one embodiment of this application. The application scenarios of the material mixing device 300 are not limited to processing waste molten salt, but can also process other radioactive materials. This application does not limit this.

[0126] In some embodiments, the material storage device 500 may be a device for storing materials in advance, or a device for producing and storing materials in a previous process, such as the material grinding and processing device 100 in the above embodiments.

[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the main body 400 includes a crushing and grinding support assembly 41, a mixing support assembly 42, a stirring support assembly 44, and a collecting and moving assembly 45, wherein the crushing and grinding support assembly 41, the mixing support assembly 42, and the stirring support assembly 44 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence; a material grinding and processing device 100 is disposed on the crushing and grinding support assembly 41; a material mixing device 300 and at least one material storage device 500 are disposed on the mixing support assembly 42; and at least some of the multiple stirring elements 341 are disposed on the stirring support assembly 44.

[0128] The embodiments of this application arrange the crushing and grinding support assembly 41, the mixing support assembly 42, and the stirring support assembly 44 adjacent to each other in sequence. This facilitates the conveying of the crushed and ground material and the powder to be mixed from the material storage device 500 to the material mixing device 300, thereby reducing the conveying distance of the material and the powder to be mixed and ensuring the smooth completion of the conveying process.

[0129] In some embodiments, the mixing support assembly 42 includes a support frame 421 and a receiving frame 422, wherein the support frame 421 is disposed above the receiving frame 422 for receiving the material mixing device 300 so that the mixture in the material mixing device 300 enters the collecting assembly 35 under the action of gravity; the receiving frame 422 forms a receiving space, and the collecting moving assembly 45 is configured such that part of it is located outside the receiving space and another part is located outside the receiving space.

[0130] In the embodiments of this application, the support frame 421 is placed above the receiving frame 422, and the material mixing device 300 is placed on the support frame 421. The collection component 35 is placed in the receiving space formed by the receiving frame 422. This is beneficial for the mixture in the material mixing device 300 to directly enter the collection component 35 under the action of gravity, without the need for an additional conveying device, and the efficiency is relatively high.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figures 15 to 16As shown, the mixing component 32 includes a containing component 321, a heating element 322, and a stirring component 34; the containing component 321 is used to contain the material sucked by the material suction device 31; the heating element 322 is configured to be able to approach the containing component 321 during the material mixing process to heat the various materials to be mixed in the containing component 321, or to move away from the containing component after the material mixing is completed to cool the mixture in the containing component 321; the stirring component 34 is configured to stir the various materials to be mixed in the containing component 321 during the heating process of the heating element 322 to mix the various materials to be mixed.

[0132] The embodiments of this application configure the mixing component 32 to include a containing component 321, a heating element 322, and a stirring component 34. The heating element 322 is configured to be able to approach or move away from the containing component 321, so as to achieve the purpose of heating or cooling the various materials to be mixed in the containing component 321, which facilitates effective temperature control of the materials to be mixed.

[0133] In some embodiments, Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the structure after the hybrid component and the hybrid support component are assembled according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 17 As shown, the hybrid support assembly includes a heating support 4211, and a heating element 322 includes a first heating part 3221 and a second heating part 3222. The first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 are disposed on the heating support 4211. The heating support 4211 is configured to allow the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 to move along the radial direction of the receiving assembly 321 to move closer to or further away from the receiving assembly 321.

[0134] In the embodiments of this application, the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving component 321, so that the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 can move along the heating support 4211 respectively, thereby heating or cooling the material in the receiving component 321, further improving the convenience of material temperature control, and enabling timely response.

[0135] In some embodiments, the shapes of the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 can be configured to match the shape of the receiving component 321. That is, after the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 approach the receiving component 321, they can cover the outside of the receiving component 321 so as to uniformly heat the material inside the receiving component 321.

[0136] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17As shown, the heating element 322 also includes a plurality of heating moving parts 3223, which are fixedly connected to the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 respectively. Each heating moving part 3223 is configured to move along the heating support member 4211 so as to drive the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 to move during the movement.

[0137] In some embodiments, the hybrid assembly 32 further includes a plurality of heating connectors 324 for detachably connecting the first heating element 3221 and the second heating element 3222.

[0138] In some embodiments, Figure 18 This is a structural schematic diagram of a heating connector according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 18 As shown, the heating connector 324 also includes a plurality of heating connecting portions 3241, a plurality of operating connecting portions 3242, and a plurality of heating connecting mating portions 3243, with the number of heating connecting portions 3241, the number of operating connecting portions 3242, and the number of heating connecting mating portions 3243 corresponding one-to-one. In this embodiment, the heating connecting portions 3241 and the operating connecting portions 3242 are rotatably connected. When a force is applied to the operating connecting portion 3242 away from the heating element 322, the heating connecting portion 3241 can be moved, thereby connecting the heating connecting portion 3241 with the heating connecting mating portion 3243. When a force is applied to the operating connecting portion 3242 in the direction close to the heating element 322, the heating connecting portion 3241 can be rotated, thereby separating the heating connecting portion 3241 from the heating connecting mating portion 3243.

[0139] In some embodiments, the receiving component 321 is configured such that its cross-sectional dimensions gradually decrease along its axial direction, so that the mixture can be smoothly discharged under the action of gravity during the discharge process.

[0140] In some embodiments, the heating element 322 is configured to heat different parts of the receiving component 321 along the axial direction of the receiving component 321 at different heating temperatures, so as to avoid uneven heating of the material due to uneven temperature field inside the receiving component 321, and to ensure the heating effect of the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222.

[0141] In some embodiments, the mixing component 32 may further include a plurality of temperature measuring elements disposed on the receiving component 321 along the axial direction of the receiving component 321, so as to measure the heating temperature at different positions of the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222, so as to facilitate the control and adjustment of the heating temperature according to the preset heating requirements.

[0142] In some embodiments, since the ceramic powder and glass powder in the materials to be mixed have poor thermal conductivity and a long heat conduction time, the stirring assembly 34 can be configured to start stirring during the heating process of the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222, so that the heated materials to be mixed can be mixed evenly through stirring.

[0143] In some embodiments, the containing assembly 321 includes a mixing container 3211 and a cover 3212. The mixing container 3211 and the cover 3212 are detachably and sealed together for containing a variety of materials to be mixed. The cover 3212 is used to seal the mixing container 3211 and to cool and keep the temperature inside the mixing container 3211. The material suction device 31 is fixedly connected to the cover 3212 to deliver the suctioned material into the mixing container 3211.

[0144] The embodiments of this application configure the mixing container 3211 and the cover 3212 to be detachably and sealed together. When the mixing container 3211 and the cover 3212 are disassembled, it is convenient to replace the stirring assembly 34. When the mixing container 3211 and the cover 3212 are sealed together, the leakage of radioactive materials during the mixing process can be avoided.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first heating part 3221 and the second heating part 3222 are disposed outside the mixing container 3211.

[0146] In some embodiments, an installation channel is formed on the cover 3212, and the material suction device 31 is fixedly connected to the installation channel, which facilitates the disassembly of the material suction device 31.

[0147] In some embodiments, the cover 3212 includes a heat-insulating portion 32121 and a cooling portion 32122, which are disposed along the axial direction of the mixing container 3211, with the heat-insulating portion 32121 close to the mixing container 3211. The heat-insulating portion 32121 is used to isolate and keep the heat inside the mixing container 3211; the cooling portion 32122 is used to cool.

[0148] The embodiments of this application configure the cover 3212 as including a heat insulation part 32121 and a cooling part 32122.

In such embodiments, the stirring section 3411 is fixedly connected to the stirring connecting section 3412 at different rotation angles, which enables the mixed mixture to have different degrees of mixing after stirring.

[0154] In some embodiments, the stirring member 341 may include a plurality of stirring parts 3411, and the plurality of stirring parts 3411 are installed in different ways.
