Detailed Implementation

[0040] The core of this invention is to provide a water substance cleaning device to improve the safety of nuclear power cold sources.

[0041] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 .

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the water substance cleaning device provided by this invention includes a float assembly 14, a float connecting frame, a filter screen assembly, and a suction pump 4. The float assembly 14 floats on the water surface. The float connecting frame includes an anchor chain 8 and an anchor block 6. The anchor block 6 is fixed to the bottom end, and the two ends of the anchor chain 8 are respectively connected to the anchor block 6 and the float assembly 14. Specifically, float connecting frames are provided on both opposite sides of the float assembly 14, so that the float assembly 14 forms a stable triangular structure in cross-section, maintaining the stability of the float. Specifically, the support frame 15 can be fixed to the seabed or lake bottom, or the support frame 15 can be installed on the float assembly 14 through connectors, in which case the support frame 15 and the float assembly 14 are relatively fixed.

[0044] Water substance removal devices can be used in oceans, lakes, and other similar environments.

[0045] To improve connection stability, the end of the anchor chain 8 connected to the anchor block 6 at the end of the float assembly 14 is positioned away from the float assembly 14.

[0046] Specifically, a single fixing point of the float assembly 14 can be provided with two float connecting frames arranged in a V-shape.

[0047] In a specific configuration, the anchor block 6 can be connected to the anchor chain 8 using a shackle and thrown to the seabed to provide anchoring force for the floating body assembly 14.

[0048] Specifically, multiple floating body components 14 are provided, each floating body component 14 serving as a float, arranged sequentially along the horizontal direction. Preferably, adjacent floating body components 14 are detachably connected, and the required number of floats is determined according to the desired enclosure location. The floating body components 14 adopt a modular design, enabling rapid installation and replacement of individual modules.

[0049] The filter assembly includes a net bag 5 and a support frame 15. The water-facing side of the net bag 5 is mounted on the support frame 15, and the support frame 15 holds the net bag 5 open. The net bag 5 is used to collect substances in the water. Specifically, one net bag 5 or at least two net bags 5 can be installed on each support frame 15.

[0050] Specifically, the net 5 can collect marine life or other impurities in the harbor basin. Specifically, the bottom end of the support frame 15 can be fixed to the seabed, for example, the bottom end of the support frame 15 can be fixed to the seabed.

[0051] The suction pump 4 is connected to one end of the net bag 5 on the back side of the water surface and is used to extract the material inside the net bag 5. The suction pump 4 is installed on the float assembly 14.

[0052] When the water substance cleaning device is in use, the net bag 5 is used to collect substances in the water, and the suction pump 4 extracts the substances from the net bag 5. In a specific setup, the suction pump 4 is connected to the net bag 5 through a suction pipe to clean marine organisms from the net bag 5 and transport them to a drain basket.

[0053] As can be seen from the above description, in the water substance cleaning device provided in the specific embodiment of this application, the substances in the water are collected by the filter screen group and extracted by the suction pump 4, which reduces the impact of the substances in the water on the equipment installed on the back side of the filter screen group. Therefore, the water substance cleaning device provided in this application improves the safety of nuclear power cold source.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, to facilitate the flow of material from the net bag 5 to the backwater side, preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the net bag 5 gradually decreases along the direction perpendicular to the water flow. Specifically, the net bag 5 can be cone-shaped along the water flow direction, and the material outlet on the backwater side of the net bag 5 can be located below the water surface, so that organisms in the net bag 5 can be extracted by the suction pump 4.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, at least two net bags 5 are provided on the same support frame 15 along the horizontal direction. Specifically, the net bags can be arranged sequentially along the direction perpendicular to the water flow. The number of net bags 5 is the same as the number of suction pumps 4, and each net bag 5 has an independently installed suction pump 4 on its back side.

[0056] To facilitate the timely extraction of materials from the container, preferably, the bottom of the water-facing side of the net 5 is positioned at the bottom of the water body, while the top of the water-facing side of the net 5 is higher than or level with the water surface. This arrangement ensures that materials passing through the net 5, regardless of whether they are at a higher or lower position, will pass through the net 5.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, the water substance cleaning device further includes a quick-connect device 11, a suction pipe, and a robotic arm 2. Specifically, the quick-connect device 11 can be a buckle, with one male and one female buckle installed on the suction pipe and the other on one end of the net bag 5 on the back side of the water. By providing the quick-connect device 11, it is convenient to connect the net bag 5 to the suction pipe and the suction pump 4.

[0058] In another specific embodiment, the quick-connect device 11 includes a magnetic ring and an electromagnetic coil ring capable of engaging with the magnetic ring. The suction pipe is connected to the inlet of the suction pump 4. One of the magnetic ring and the electromagnetic coil ring is installed on the suction pipe, and the other is installed on one end of the net bag 5 on the back side of the water. When the electromagnetic coil ring is energized, the magnetic ring and the electromagnetic coil ring engage. The engagement method enables quick docking between the net bag 5 and the suction pipe, further improving the connection speed.

[0059] Robotic arm 2 is mounted on the float assembly 14 and is used to pull the net 5 to connect with the suction pipe. Specifically, the cantilever of robotic arm 2 can extend 3m and is fixed to the float assembly 14 near the net 5 for pulling the net 5 to connect with the suction pipe. Both the net 5 and the suction pipe are mounted on robotic arm 2, achieving a relatively fixed position for both. Robotic arm 2 can be a steel structure to reduce deformation during the pulling process of the net 5.

[0060] In practical use, the quick-connect device 11 is used to connect the net bag 5 and the suction pipe. A strong magnetic ring and an electromagnetic coil ring are used to attract each other to achieve a quick and reliable docking. The quick-connect device 11 is used to connect the net bag 5 and the suction pipe. The robotic arm 2 pulls the net bag 5 to dock with the suction pipe. The suction pipe can be automatically installed and removed, and no personnel are required in the event of strong winds and waves.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the water substance removal device further includes a sonar 12, which is installed on the float assembly 14. One or more sonars can be installed. By installing the sonar 12, the activity of marine organisms can be observed, and early warning of marine organism invasions can be provided.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the water substance cleaning device also includes a control device. The suction pump 4 is signal-connected to the control device, which controls the suction pump 4 to operate intermittently. Considering that the net 5 has a certain capacity, it can collect some substances and then pump them in at once, avoiding continuous operation of the suction pump 4. For example, the suction pump 4 can pump four times a day, each time for ten minutes.

[0063] When multiple suction pumps 4 are installed, the control device controls each suction pump 4 to work individually via signal lines, so as to avoid the other suction pumps 4 being unable to work when one suction pump 4 is under maintenance.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the waterborne material removal device further includes an anchor 13 for securing a vessel, which is mounted on the float assembly 14. The anchor 13 serves as a temporary mooring point for the vessel. The vessel is secured to the anchor 13 by providing this temporary mooring point. Specifically, a crane arm can also be provided to lift materials from the vessel onto the float assembly 14.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the water substance cleaning device further includes an automated guided vehicle (AGV) 3, which is disposed on the upper surface of the float assembly 14. The AGV 3 uses electromagnetic guidance to transport the faulty suction pump 4 and the drain basket to the maintenance point along a preset route, thereby improving the automation level of the water substance cleaning device.

[0066] Based on the above solutions, the float assembly 14 includes a float 9, which is used to provide buoyancy; the float 9 can be a buoyancy tube. The buoyancy tube provides buoyancy to the float assembly 14, and the buoyancy tube can be made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipe.

[0067] The float assembly 14 also includes a bracket 10 and a footplate 1. The bracket 10 is mounted on the upper surface of the float 9 and connects adjacent floats 9. The bracket 10 connects the buoyancy tubes in series to form a whole. The bracket 10 is specifically made of 2205 duplex stainless steel to extend its service life.

[0068] Step 1 is mounted on the upper surface of bracket 10, forming a maintenance walkway. Step 1 is used for personnel to walk on, and is specifically fixed to bracket 10 with fasteners, such as 2205 duplex stainless steel bolts. By setting up step 1, it is convenient for personnel to perform maintenance work.

[0069] To improve operational safety, the floating assembly 14 preferably also includes guardrails 7, which are installed on the footboard 1 and located on opposite sides of the maintenance walkway. Specifically, the guardrails 7 include a base, square tube posts, guardrail 7 tubing, and caps. The square tube posts are installed on the floating assembly 14 via the base, and adjacent square tube posts are connected via the guardrail 7 tubing. The top opening of the square tube posts is sealed with caps to reduce moisture and corrosion inside the posts. The guardrails 7 ensure personnel safety.

[0070] The waterborne substance cleaning device provided in this application can clean marine organisms in the net bag 5 around the clock using a suction pump 4. This can prevent the invasion of jellyfish and other marine organisms, reduce unit shutdowns and reactor stoppages due to cold source problems, and thus ensure the safety of the cold source system, providing technical support for the safety of nuclear power cold sources. Simultaneously, a multi-functional wind and wave resistant floating raft for biological suction is arranged downstream of the net bag 5, and the suction pump 4 is installed on the raft, enabling round-the-clock cleaning of marine organisms and ensuring the safety of the cold source system.

[0071] At the same time, since it does not require the cooperation of surface vessels and is not affected by strong winds and waves, the cleanup efficiency is high.

[0072] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0073] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention.
