Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear fuel technology, and in particular to a fully automated, self-sensing precision assembly device for slender rods. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of a nuclear reactor, the assembly precision and efficiency of nuclear fuel rods directly affect reactor operational safety and energy supply efficiency. Traditional nuclear fuel assembly often adopts a single-rod pusher mode. When faced with the need for array assembly such as 15×15 and 17×17, the process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.
[0003] Meanwhile, fuel rods are slender rod-type precision components, and traditional devices lack effective self-sensing and adaptive adjustment mechanisms. For example, during the pushing process, uneven clamping force can easily cause fuel rod bending and surface damage, thus affecting the assembly accuracy of the components. At the same time, due to the lack of real-time tension monitoring and abnormal feedback functions, it is impossible to avoid problems such as jamming and thrust overload in time, which poses safety hazards. Furthermore, during the coating process, incomplete coating and uneven thickness are prone to occur, making it difficult to accurately locate defective areas and carry out secondary repairs, which affects the sealing performance and service life of the fuel rods.

However, this is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the present invention to this specific structure, device and environment. Those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments according to specific needs. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The fully automatic self-sensing precision assembly device for slender rods provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art can use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; moreover, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 18As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fully automatic self-sensing precision assembly device for slender rods, including a material conveying component 100 and an adjusting component 200. The material conveying component 100 is installed on the top of the adjusting component 200. The material conveying component 100 includes a positioning seat 110, on which multiple sets of material conveying wheels 111 are evenly arranged, and the material conveying wheels 111 are rotatably connected to the top of the positioning seat 110. A coating and capping device 160 is installed at the top end of the positioning seat 110, which can perform coating and capping operations on fuel rods. A truss 112 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the positioning seat 110. A top plate 113 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the truss 112. A geared motor 114 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 113. A first spiral lifting component 116 is installed on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 113. A connecting device is fixedly installed between the first spiral lifting component 116 and the geared motor 114. Shaft 115 drives the first spiral lifting assembly 116. A hanger 117 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 113. The output ends of the two sets of first spiral lifting assemblies 116 are fixedly connected to the hanger 117. Guide shafts 118 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the hanger 117, and the guide shafts 118 slide through the top plate 113. A pusher assembly 120 is installed at the bottom of the hanger 117. In this invention, fuel rods are fed onto the conveying wheel 111 of the positioning seat 110 by an external feeding device. The reduction motor 114 drives the two sets of connecting shafts 115 to rotate, forcing the first spiral lifting assembly 116 to work. Under the limiting and guiding action of the two sets of guide shafts 118, the hanger 117 and the top seat 121 are pressed down, so that the spring pressure wheel assembly 130 on the conveying device 126 cooperates with the conveying wheel 111 to clamp the fuel rods.
[0023] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9As shown, the feeding assembly 120 includes a top seat 121, the top of which is fixedly connected to the hanger 117. A center seat 122 is fixedly installed on the center of both sides of the bottom of the top seat 121. Side seats 123 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the top seat 121. A drive shaft 124 is rotatably connected between the side wall of the side seat 123 and the corresponding side wall of the center seat 122. A second geared motor 125 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom front end of the top seat 121, and the output end of the second geared motor 125 is fixedly connected to the corresponding drive shaft 124. A conveyor belt 126 is installed between the two opposing drive shafts 124. Multiple sets of spring pressure roller assemblies 130 are evenly installed on the belt of the conveyor belt 126. In this invention, the second geared motor 125 is driven so that its output shaft drives the drive shaft 124 to rotate. The conveyor belt 126 is driven to work. At this time, the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt 126 can drive the support 141 to move on the guide rail 140. Since the laser rangefinder 144 can measure in the fixed distance groove 143, it can ensure that the two sets of support 141 move synchronously. At the same time, the tension sensor 153 on the support 141 can push the fuel rod to move on the feed wheel 111 so that it passes through the coating and capping device 160 and is coated and capped for subsequent assembly. In particular, when the external feeding device is required to feed, the hanger 117 moves up to leave the feeding space. When pushing, the hanger 117 moves down so that the pressure roller 138 presses on the upper surface of the fuel rod. After the feeding starts, the fuel rod is pushed to the coating and capping assembly for coating and capping operations.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the spring pressure roller assembly 130 includes a wheel seat 131, which is fixedly connected to the belt of the conveyor device 126. A limit sleeve 132 is fixedly installed on the top of the wheel seat 131, and a sliding shell 133 is provided on the top of the wheel seat 131. A limit sleeve 134 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sliding shell 133, and the limit sleeve 134 cooperates with the limit sleeve 132. The limit sleeve 134 can move within the limit sleeve 132, and the limit sleeve 132 can simultaneously control the limit sleeve 132. 34. Limiting the sliding shell 133 to prevent it from detaching from the wheel seat 131. Inner slides 135 are provided on both inner walls of the sliding shell 133. Insert pins 136 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the wheel seat 131, and the insert pins 136 cooperate with the inner slides 135. Springs 137 are sleeved on the outer walls of the insert pins 136. The two ends of the springs 137 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding shell 133 and the top of the wheel seat 131, respectively. A pressure roller 138 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding shell 133. 38 can be used in conjunction with the feed roller 111. In this invention, when the spring pressure roller assembly 130 presses down on the fuel rod, the pressure roller 138 can cooperate with the feed roller 111 to clamp the fuel rod and prevent it from coming off during the pushing process. During this process, the pressure roller 138 is forced to move the sliding shell 133 closer to the wheel seat 131, causing the spring 137 inside the sliding shell 133 to contract under force. Under the action of the spring 137's rebound force, the pressure roller 138 is forced to press the fuel rod. In particular, the spring pressure roller assembly 130 is installed on the belt with the conveyor device 126. When pushing the rod, it descends through the first spiral lifting assembly 116, and the pressure roller 138 presses on the upper surface of the fuel rod. The spring 137 can provide distance buffering. It cooperates with the feed roller 111 installed on the positioning seat 110, and is inverted with the spring pressure roller assembly 130 to ensure the rigidity of the timing belt and prevent the timing belt from bending when the spring pressure roller assembly 130 presses down on the fuel rod.
[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 7 , Figures 12 to 14As shown, guide rails 140 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the top seat 121. A support seat 141 is slidably connected to the guide rails 140. The guide rails 140 support and limit the support seat 141. A belt-clamping groove 142 is formed on the inner wall of the support seat 141, and the belt-clamping groove 142 is fixedly connected to the belt of the corresponding belt conveyor 126. When the belt of the belt conveyor 126 moves, it can drive the support seat 141 to move through the belt-clamping groove 142. A distance-fixing groove 143 is formed on the side wall of the support seat 141. A laser rangefinder 144 is fixedly installed and used in conjunction with a corresponding distance-fixing slot 143. The distance-fixing slot 143 has a scale, and the distance the laser rangefinder 144 moves within the distance-fixing slot 143 can be displayed by the change of the scale. Simultaneously, in the initial position (when both sets of support bases 141 are aligned), the scale of the laser rangefinder 144 within the distance-fixing slot 143 is zero. A support plate 150 is fixedly installed on the top of the support base 141, and an adjusting plate 152 is slidably connected to the support plate 150. A [missing information - likely a device or component] is fixedly installed on the adjusting plate 152. A tension sensor 153 is used in conjunction with the corresponding fuel rod end wall. During operation, the tension sensor 153 is connected to the fuel rod end wall, allowing it to push or pull the fuel rod. During the pushing process, the tension sensor 153 can display the tension in real time, monitoring any abnormalities in the pushing rod and ensuring its safety and reliability. When the tension sensor 153 displays an abnormality, the drive cylinder 151 moves the adjusting plate 152, thereby allowing for secondary adjustment of the pushing rod pressure. The support plate 150 is fixed... A cylinder 151 is installed, and the output end of the cylinder 151 is fixedly connected to the end wall of the adjusting plate 152. In this invention, if the fuel rod is partially uncoated or incompletely coated due to its specifications or surface material, the belt conveyor 126 is reversed by driving the reduction motor 125 connected to the fuel rod, and the laser rangefinder 144 moves in the distance groove 143 at the same distance as the length of the incomplete coating. After that, the belt conveyor 126 is driven to rotate forward again, and the fuel rod can be recoated to improve the processing accuracy.
[0026] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 15 to 18As shown, the adjustment assembly 200 includes a frame 210. A geared motor 211 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the frame 210. A connecting shaft 212 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the geared motor 211. There are two sets of connecting shafts 212. A commutator 213 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the outer wall of the frame 210. The commutator 213 can convert the rotation of the connecting shaft 212 into the rotation of the reciprocating screw 214. It can be composed of two sets of meshing helical gears. The outer end walls of the two sets of connecting shafts 212 are respectively fixedly connected to the input ends of the corresponding commutator 213. Reciprocating screws 214 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the frame 210. The end wall is fixedly connected to the output end of the corresponding commutator 213. A lead screw nut 215 is engaged on the reciprocating screw 214. Slide rails 216 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the frame 210. The same assembly frame 220 is slidably installed on the two sets of slide rails 216, and the tops of the two sets of lead screw nuts 215 are fixedly connected to the assembly frame 220. In this invention, the drive reduction motor 211 drives the two sets of connecting shafts 212 to rotate. Under the action of the commutator 213, the two sets of reciprocating screws 214 move. Under the limiting action of the slide rails 216, the lead screw nuts 215 drive the assembly frame 220 to change in lateral position.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figures 15 to 17 As shown, a geared motor 221 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the assembly frame 220. A connecting shaft 222 is fixedly installed at the output end of the geared motor 221. There are two sets of connecting shafts 222. Second spiral lifting components 223 are installed on both sides of the top of the assembly frame 220. The two sets of connecting shafts 222 are respectively connected to the corresponding second spiral lifting components 223, and the connecting shafts 222 can drive the second spiral lifting components 223. The spiral lifting components can be composed of worm gears and can only be driven by the connecting shafts. They also have a self-locking function. The output ends of the two sets of second spiral lifting components 223 are fixed to the bottom of the positioning seat 110. The assembly frame 220 is connected and has positioning caps 224 fixedly installed on both sides of the top. The inner wall of the positioning cap 224 is slidably installed with a guide shaft 225, and the top of the guide shaft 225 is fixedly connected to the positioning seat 110. The guide shaft 225 has a guiding function to ensure the stable movement of the positioning seat 110. In this invention, the drive reduction motor 221 drives the two sets of connecting shafts 222 to rotate, thereby making the second spiral lifting assembly 223 work. Under the limiting action of the positioning caps 224 and the guide shaft 225, the material conveying assembly 100 is lifted or lowered, so that the longitudinal position of the material conveying assembly 100 changes.
[0028] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this invention is as follows: Fuel rods are fed onto the conveyor wheel 111 of the positioning seat 110 via an external feeding device. A drive reduction motor 114 rotates two sets of connecting shafts 115, forcing the first spiral lifting assembly 116 to operate. Under the limiting and guiding action of two sets of guide shafts 118, the hanger 117 and top seat 121 are pressed down, causing the spring pressure roller assembly 130 on the conveyor device 126 to cooperate with the conveyor wheel 111 to clamp the fuel rods. The assembly position of the fuel rods is driven as needed. The geared motor 211 drives the two sets of connecting shafts 212 to rotate. Under the action of the commutator 213, the two sets of reciprocating screws 214 move. Under the limiting action of the slide rail 216, the screw nut 215 drives the assembly frame 220 to change its lateral position. Then, the geared motor 221 drives the two sets of connecting shafts 222 to rotate, thereby making the second spiral lifting assembly 223 work. Under the limiting action of the positioning cap 224 and the guide shaft 225, the material conveying assembly 100 is lifted or lowered, so that the material conveying assembly 100 moves longitudinally. The position changes, aligning the output end of the coating capping device 160 with the external assembly device; subsequently, the drive motor 125 drives its output shaft to rotate the drive shaft 124, thus driving the belt conveyor 126 to work. At this time, the conveyor belt on the belt conveyor 126 can drive the support base 141 to move on the guide rail 140. Since the laser rangefinder 144 can measure within the fixed distance groove 143, it can ensure that the two sets of support bases 141 move synchronously. At the same time, the tension sensor 153 on the support base 141 can push the fuel rod on the feed roller 1. The fuel rod is moved through the coating and capping device 160 and coated and capped for subsequent assembly. If, during the coating and capping process, a fuel rod is partially uncoated or incompletely coated due to its specifications or surface material, the belt conveyor 126 is reversed by driving the geared motor 125 connected to the fuel rod. The laser rangefinder 144 moves the same distance within the distance slot 143 as the length of the incomplete coating. Afterward, the belt conveyor 126 is driven to rotate forward again, and the fuel rod can be recoated, improving processing accuracy.
