Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear fusion technology, and in particular to a disassembly device and method for a fusion device maintenance window. Background Technology
[0002] Maintenance windows in fusion devices refer to physical passages pre-installed within the complex structures of fusion devices such as tokamaks. These passages allow for the entry and exit of materials, tools, and personnel between continuous operating cycles, and facilitate the inspection, maintenance, upgrading, or replacement of internal equipment. The design of maintenance windows must comprehensively consider structural strength, ease of access, and the maintainability of internal components. However, in compact fusion devices, the designed maintenance window flange covers are typically heavy, and the flanges require extremely high precision in installation and disassembly while ensuring a vacuum seal. Furthermore, the confined maintenance space further increases the operational difficulty. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a method for disassembling and assembling maintenance window flanges in fusion devices with compact spaces, aiming to achieve precise and efficient removal of the flanges. Summary of the Invention

The ring rail is located on the Dewar base. The guide rail is located outside the ring rail and extends radially along the ring rail. The pulley is slidably engaged on the guide rail. The pulley adjustment component is located on the guide rail and drives the pulley to move along the length direction of the guide rail. The lifting component includes a drive unit and a first traction rope. The drive unit is slidably engaged on the ring rail and can release or retract the first traction rope.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dismantling device for the maintenance window of a fusion device can remove the flange cover from the window flange by sequentially cooperating and lifting a first lifting mechanism, a second lifting mechanism, and a mobile vehicle. The flange cover can be adjusted in a narrow maintenance channel and then safely transported out of the maintenance channel by the mobile vehicle. This effectively avoids the operational difficulties, low efficiency, and potential collision risks caused by space limitations in traditional dismantling methods, achieving efficient dismantling of the maintenance window and improving the safety and reliability of the dismantling operation of the fusion device maintenance window dismantling device.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the fusion device maintenance window disassembly device 100 of this embodiment of the invention includes a maintenance window 200 and a Dewar base 300. The maintenance window 200 includes a window flange 210 and a flange cover 220. The flange cover 220 is installed on the window flange 210. The Dewar base 300 is located above the maintenance window 200. The biological shielding wall 400 around the fusion device is provided with a maintenance channel 410. The maintenance channel 410 is located on the side of the flange cover 220 away from the window flange 210. The dismantling device 100 for the maintenance window of the fusion device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first lifting mechanism 10, a second lifting mechanism 20, and a moving vehicle 30. The first lifting mechanism 10 includes a ring rail 11, a guide rail 12, a pulley 13, a pulley adjusting component 14, and a lifting component 15. The ring rail 11 is disposed on the Dewar base 300. The guide rail 12 is disposed outside the ring rail 11 and extends radially along the ring rail 11. The pulley 13 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 12. The pulley adjusting component 14 is disposed on the guide rail 12 and drives the pulley 13 to move along the length direction of the guide rail 12. The lifting component 15 includes a driving part 151 and a first traction rope 152. The driving part 151 is slidably engaged with the ring rail 11 and can release or retract the first traction rope 152. The first traction rope 152 is wound around the pulley 13. The second lifting mechanism 20 is disposed within the maintenance channel 410 and includes a releasable or retractable second traction rope 21. The moving vehicle 30 is disposed within the maintenance channel 410.
[0046] The first lifting mechanism 10 can refer to a mechanism used to lift the flange cover 220. In the above technical solution, the first lifting mechanism 10 includes a ring rail 11, a guide rail 12, a pulley 13, a pulley adjustment component 14, and a lifting component 15. The ring rail 11 can refer to an annular track so that the drive unit 151 can slide smoothly along the circumference of the ring rail 11, adjusting the circumferential position of the first traction rope 152 on the horizontal plane, thereby vertically lifting the flange cover 220 by the first traction rope 152 and preventing changes in the posture of the flange cover 220 during lifting. The guide rail 12 can refer to a strip-shaped track, extending radially along the outer side of the ring rail 11, so that the pulley 13 can slide on the guide rail 12 along the radial direction of the ring rail 11, thereby adjusting the support point position of the first traction rope 152 in the radial direction of the ring rail 11. The guide rail 12 can be fixed to the Dewar base 300. The pulley adjusting component 14 can refer to a component that adjusts the position of the pulley 13 on the guide rail 12. The pulley adjusting component 14 can be a manual adjusting component or an electric adjusting component, such as, but not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic rod, electric actuator, electric cylinder, lead screw, etc. For example, the pulley adjusting component 14 can be an electric cylinder.
[0047] The lifting component 15 can refer to the component that mainly bears the weight of the flange cover 220. The lifting component 15 can be a winch or an electric hoist, for example, the lifting component 15 is an electric hoist. The lifting component 15 includes a drive unit 151 and a first traction rope 152. Through the cooperation of the drive unit 151 and the pulley adjustment component 14, the first traction rope 152 can drive the flange cover 220 to move in the vertical direction and the circumferential radial direction, ensuring that the flange cover 220 is subjected to balanced force during lifting and avoiding tilting or swaying due to eccentricity.
[0048] The second lifting mechanism 20 can refer to the mechanism that works in conjunction with the first lifting mechanism 10 to lift the flange cover 220, and can be, but is not limited to, a winch or an electric hoist. The first traction rope 152 and the second traction rope 21 can be, but are not limited to, wire ropes, nylon ropes, etc. For example, the first traction rope 152 and the second traction rope 21 can be wire ropes.
[0049] The mobile vehicle 30 can refer to the component that moves the flange cover 220 out of the maintenance passage 410.
[0050] refer to Figures 5 to 8 In the maintenance window 200, the window flange 210 may be equipped with a telescopic drive component 211 and a guide rod 212, and multiple telescopic drive components 211 and guide rods 212 may be arranged circumferentially around the window flange 210. Correspondingly, the flange cover 220 may be equipped with a connecting block 221 and a lifting ring 222. The output end of the telescopic drive component 211 and the connecting block 221 are engaged by fasteners 223 to connect the window flange 210 and the flange cover 220, and the window flange 210 and the flange cover 220 are vacuum sealed by a sealing ring. Multiple lifting rings 222 are provided, and the lifting rings 222 can be engaged with the second traction rope 21 and the first traction rope 152 to lift the flange cover 220. At the same time, several guide rods 212 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the window flange 210, and several guide holes 220a are provided at corresponding positions on the flange cover 220. The telescopic drive component 211 can drive the flange cover 220 to move along the guide rods 212. The telescopic drive component 211 can be, but is not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic rod, an electric actuator, an electric cylinder, a lead screw, etc., for example, refer to Figure 3 The telescopic drive component 211 is an electric cylinder.
[0051] refer to Figures 9 to 13 , Figures 9 to 13 A schematic diagram illustrating the removal of the flange cover 220 from the disassembly device 100 for the fusion device maintenance window under different operating conditions, for reference. Figure 9First, connect the first traction rope 152 to the lifting ring 222 on the upper part of the flange cover 220. Disconnect the output end of the telescopic drive component 211 from the connecting block 221. The first lifting mechanism 10, through the cooperation of the ring rail 11, guide rail 12, pulley 13, and pulley adjustment component 14, ensures that the flange cover 220 is smoothly moved out along the central axis of the flange cover 220 and completely separated from the window flange 210 during the initial disassembly stage. This avoids collisions or interference between the flange cover 220 and surrounding components during movement. During this process, the telescopic drive component 211 synchronously drives the flange cover 220 to move along the guide rod 212, and prevents an angle between the first traction rope 152 and the flange cover 220 plate. (Reference) Figure 10 Then connect the second traction rope 21 to the lifting ring 222 at the bottom of the flange cover 220, and continue to refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 Through the coordinated operation of the second lifting mechanism 20 and the first lifting mechanism 10, the lower part of the flange cover 220 is flipped upwards, as shown in the reference. Figure 13 After the flange cover 220 is flipped to a horizontal position, it is accurately and stably placed on the moving trolley 30 below, avoiding other parts during the flipping process. Finally, the moving trolley 30, as the final transfer carrier, moves the flange cover 220 out of the maintenance passage 410. It can be understood that the installation of the flange cover 220 can be carried out by reversing the above steps.
[0052] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dismantling device 100 for the maintenance window of a fusion device can remove the flange cover 220 from the window flange 210 by sequentially cooperating and lifting the first lifting mechanism 10, the second lifting mechanism 20, and the mobile vehicle 30. The flange cover 220 is adjusted in posture within the narrow maintenance channel 410 and then safely transported out of the maintenance channel 410 by the mobile vehicle 30. This effectively avoids the operational difficulties, low efficiency, and potential collision risks caused by space limitations in traditional dismantling methods, achieving efficient dismantling of the maintenance window 200 and improving the safety and reliability of the dismantling operation of the dismantling device 100 for the maintenance window of the fusion device.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pulley 13 includes a pulley body 131 and a pulley seat 132. The pulley seat 132 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 12 along its extension direction, and the pulley body 131 is located at the bottom of the pulley seat 132. In the above technical solution, the pulley body 131 is located at the bottom of the pulley seat 132, which facilitates the installation of the first traction rope 152. The pulley seat 132 can be slidably mounted on the guide rail 12 via a slider, thereby adjusting the position of the pulley 13 on the guide rail 12 so that the portion of the first traction rope 152 passing over the pulley body 131 is in a vertical position relative to the flange cover 220.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3and Figure 4 The pulley adjusting component 14 is a telescopic component and is located on the upper side of the guide rail 12. The telescopic end of the pulley adjusting component 14 is connected to the pulley seat 132. The pulley adjusting component 14 is a telescopic component, which can realize telescopic movement, and is more efficient than manual adjustment. Moreover, the telescopic movement drives the pulley seat 132 to move on the guide rail 12, which is simpler in driving mode and has higher overall reliability.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 The drive unit 151 includes a movable seat 1511, a locking mechanism 1512 and a drive mechanism 1513. The movable seat 1511 is slidably disposed on the ring rail 11. The locking mechanism 1512 is disposed on the movable seat 1511 and can be locked or unlocked from the ring rail 11. The drive mechanism 1513 is disposed on the movable seat 1511 and connected to the first traction rope 152.
[0056] The drive mechanism 1513 can be, but is not limited to, a motor-driven drum or roller, etc. For example, the drive mechanism 1513 is an electric hoist. In the above technical solution, the locking mechanism 1512 is unlocked from the ring rail 11, so that the moving seat 1511 can slide on the ring rail 11 to adjust the position of the drive unit 151 on the ring rail 11, so that the first traction rope 152 is directly above the center of gravity of the flange cover 220. After locking the locking mechanism 1512 and the ring rail 11, the position of the drive unit 151 on the ring rail 11 can be fixed, so that the first traction rope 152 connects to the flange cover 220 to start the disassembly work. This can avoid the flange cover 220 changing its posture during the separation of the flange cover 220 and the window flange 210, thereby avoiding the situation of bumping and damaging the sealing surface during the disassembly process, and improving the reliability of the disassembly device 100 for the fusion device maintenance window.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 The cross-section of the ring rail 11 is I-shaped. The moving seat 1511 is provided with a T-slot, which fits into the bottom of the ring rail 11. The moving seat 1511 is provided with multiple bolt holes 1511a. The locking mechanism 1512 is a bolt and fits into the bolt holes 1511a.
[0058] The number of bolt holes 1511a can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, five, etc.
[0059] In the above technical solution, the cross-section of the ring rail 11 is I-shaped, which increases the structural strength of the ring rail 11 and provides a stable support structure for the moving seat 1511. Meanwhile, the locking mechanism 1512 is a bolt fitted into the bolt hole 1511a, which limits the moving seat 1511 in the vertical direction and the radial direction of the bolt, preventing the moving seat 1511 from falling off during sliding and improving the reliability of the first lifting mechanism 10. Furthermore, the locking mechanism 1512 is a bolt, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 The first traction rope 152 includes a traction section 1521, a connecting section 1522 and a force detection element 1523. The traction section 1521 is connected to the drive unit 151 and is wound around the pulley 13. The connecting section 1522 is connected to the traction section 1521 through the force detection element 1523.
[0061] The force detection element 1523 can be, but is not limited to, a force sensor. In the above technical solution, during the separation of the window flange 210 and the flange cover 220, the force detection element 1523 can monitor the force on the first traction rope 152 in real time, ensuring that the value of the force detection element 1523 is equivalent to the weight of the flange cover 220, avoiding the angle between the first traction rope 152 and the flange cover 220 plate, and thus avoiding the risk of damage to the sealing surface during disassembly. This can improve the reliability of the disassembly device 100 for the fusion device maintenance window.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 There are at least two connecting segments 1522, and one end of each of the at least two connecting segments 1522 is connected to the traction segment 1521 through the force detection element 1523.
[0063] The number of connection segments 1522 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, five, etc. For example, refer to... Figure 3 In the above technical solution, there are at least two connecting sections 1522, which can constrain the flange cover 220 from multiple angles, prevent the flange cover 220 from shaking during hoisting, improve the stability of the hoisted flange cover 220, reduce the risk of collisions during hoisting, and thus improve the reliability of hoisting.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fusion device includes an emission mechanism 500, which includes an emission pipe 510. The emission pipe 510 is located below the maintenance window 200 and extends into a maintenance channel 410 along the radial direction of the Dewar base 300. The dismantling device also includes a bracket 40, which is located within the maintenance channel 410, directly below the second lifting mechanism 20 and above the emission pipe 510. A mobile vehicle 30 is mounted on the bracket 40.
[0065] The discharge mechanism 500 can refer to a device that can release pressure when the internal pressure of the maintenance window 200 reaches a set value, and the released gas can be discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe 510. It is understood that in the above scheme, the space where the maintenance window 200 is located is relatively narrow due to the presence of the discharge mechanism 500, and the disassembly of the flange cover 220 is difficult. The disassembly device 100 for the fusion device maintenance window of this embodiment of the invention can be used for disassembly in this narrow space.
[0066] In the above technical solution, the discharge pipe 510 is located below the maintenance window 200, and the bracket 40 is located above the discharge pipe 510. The bracket 40 can be used to protect the discharge mechanism 500 and prevent damage to it. The bracket 40 can also provide a placement platform for the mobile vehicle 30 and reduce the vertical height difference between the mobile vehicle 30 and the flange cover 220, which is beneficial for placing the flange cover 220 on the mobile vehicle 30.
[0067] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for disassembling a fusion device maintenance window is also provided. The disassembly is performed using the disassembly device 100 of any of the preceding embodiments. The method includes:
[0068] Step S1: Adjust the positions of pulley 13, drive unit 151 and first traction rope 152 so that pulley 13, drive unit 151 and first traction rope 152 are located directly above the center plane of flange cover 220 in the vertical plane.
[0069] Step S2: Connect the first traction rope 152 of the first lifting mechanism 10 to the lifting point on the upper part of the flange cover 220, remove the flange cover 220 from the window flange 210, and slowly move the flange cover 220 out along the central axis of the window flange 210 until the flange cover 220 is completely separated from the window flange 210. During this process, control the pulley adjustment component 14 to drive the pulley 13 to move synchronously with the flange cover 220, so that the part of the first traction rope 152 located under the pulley 13 and the flange cover 220 are kept without angle in the vertical direction.
[0070] Step S3: Connect the second traction rope 21 of the second lifting mechanism 20 to the lifting point at the lower part of the flange cover 220, retract the second traction rope 21 and cooperate with the first lifting mechanism 10 to flip the lower part of the flange cover 220 upward until the flange cover 220 is directly above the moving vehicle 30 and the flange cover 220 is placed flat on the moving vehicle 30.
[0071] Step S4: Disconnect the first traction rope 152 and the second traction rope 21 from the flange cover 220, and control the moving vehicle 30 to move the flange cover 220 out of the maintenance passage 410.
[0072] It is understandable that the above-mentioned method for disassembling the fusion device maintenance window can also be used to install the flange cover 220. The installation steps are simply the reverse of the disassembly method for the fusion device maintenance window.
[0073] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the disassembly method of the fusion device maintenance window 200 is achieved by precisely adjusting the positions of the pulley 13, the drive unit 151, and the first traction rope 152. During the removal of the flange cover 220 and its movement along the central axis, the pulley adjustment component 14 drives the pulley 13 and the flange cover 220 to move synchronously. This ensures that the portion of the first traction rope 152 located below the pulley 13 maintains no angle with the flange cover 220 in the vertical direction, avoiding the risk of damage to the sealing surface during disassembly and improving the reliability of the disassembly method. Furthermore, the introduction of the second lifting mechanism 20 and the first lifting mechanism 10 in coordinated operation increases the stability of the hoisting, precisely controls the flipping and movement of the flange cover 220 within the narrow maintenance channel 410, and avoids collisions between the flange cover 220 and other components during the flipping and movement, further improving the reliability of the disassembly method.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first traction rope 152 is equipped with a force detection element 1523; step S2 further includes: real-time monitoring of the value of the force detection element 1523 to ensure that the value of the force detection element 1523 matches the self-weight of the flange cover 220. In the above technical solution, real-time monitoring of the value of the force detection element 1523, ensuring that the value of the force detection element 1523 matches the self-weight of the flange cover 220, can avoid the formation of an angle between the first traction rope 152 and the flange cover 220 plate, thereby avoiding the risk of damage to the sealing surface during disassembly and improving the reliability of the disassembly device 100 for the fusion device maintenance window.
