Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear fusion reactor engineering technology, and in particular to a sliding traction system for window inserts in a nuclear fusion device, which enables linear translation of large-load inserts. Background Technology
[0002] In magnetically confined nuclear fusion devices (such as tokamaks), the vacuum chamber integrates numerous functional modules, including key components such as divertors, cladding, and window inserts. These components are subjected to extreme environments during operation, including high heat loads and intense neutron radiation, requiring regular maintenance or replacement. To achieve efficient and safe remote maintenance, various dedicated maintenance systems have been developed.
[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN112489820B discloses a multi-functional maintenance platform for heavy-duty components (such as divertors) inside a tokamak device, which realizes the transfer of components in a vacuum chamber through a circumferential track and a radial drive mechanism; Chinese invention patent CN109326362B proposes a circumferentially separable maintenance and transfer system suitable for cladding modules, which uses a gear and rack drive and an auxiliary lifting mechanism to complete the disassembly and assembly of the modules; Chinese patent application CN105261400A discloses a divertor maintenance device based on the collaborative operation of a track trolley and a robotic arm, emphasizing multi-degree-of-freedom motion capability to adapt to complex spatial layouts.
[0004] However, the aforementioned solutions are primarily designed for large, heavy-duty structural components (such as divertors and cladding) located on the inner wall or bottom of the vacuum chamber. Their core lies in circumferential-radial composite motion and multi-degree-of-freedom grasping / lifting, and are not suitable for specialized components like window inserts. Window inserts are typically cantilevered onto window flanges on the side wall of the vacuum chamber, with one end fixed to an external support structure. The main body extends into the vacuum chamber and integrates functional units such as heating antennas, plasma diagnostic windows, or tritium breeding modules. Their maintenance requires not only high load-bearing capacity but, more importantly, high-precision linear alignment within a confined space to ensure strict alignment of the bolt holes between the insert flange and the vacuum chamber window flange, and to achieve a reliable sealing connection.
[0005] Existing maintenance platforms, relying on circumferential or radial motion paths, struggle to provide stable and controllable linear traction in the window area and lack fine-tuning and attitude compensation mechanisms for cantilever structures, easily leading to docking failures or sealing inefficiencies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated sliding traction system for window inserts that is structurally simple, precisely positioned, and reliably operated to address the shortcomings of existing technologies in this specific application scenario. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the challenges of high load, limited space, high operational precision requirements, and difficult remote operation faced by window inserts in the vacuum chamber of a tokamak device during maintenance, this invention provides a sliding traction system for window inserts in a nuclear fusion device.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A sliding traction system for a nuclear fusion device window insert includes an insert track frame, an insert traction moving track, an insert traction mechanism, and a control system. The insert track frame is fixed to the ground and has a combined flange and segmented guide rails for installing inserts. The insert traction moving track includes an auxiliary base frame, a docking track frame, and a basic track frame. The auxiliary base frame is fixed to the ground, and the basic track frame is fixed to the auxiliary base frame. The basic track frame has rack and roller guide rails. The docking track frame is connected to the auxiliary base frame via linear guide rails and can move along it. The docking track frame has sliding guide rails that dock with the segmented guide rails. Insert traction... The mechanism includes a trolley frame, a drive motor assembly, a drive gear shaft assembly, a double gear shaft assembly, a roller shaft assembly, a traction frame, and a swing motor assembly. The roller shaft assembly engages with the roller guide rails on the base track frame. The drive gear shaft assembly meshes with a rack. The drive motor assembly drives the drive gear shaft assembly through the double gear shaft assembly, thereby driving the trolley frame to move along the base track frame. The traction frame is connected to the trolley frame via a hinge. The swing motor assembly is connected to the traction frame to adjust its posture. The control system is used to control the docking and locking of the plug-in traction mechanism with the plug-in and docking track frame, and to drive the plug-in to move along the docked track to the plug-in track frame for installation.
[0009] Beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. This invention is specifically designed for the window plug-in, a special cantilever installation component. It abandons the complex circumferential-radial composite motion mechanism and adopts a high-precision linear sliding traction method, which can well meet the actual needs of the window plug-in to enter and exit the vacuum chamber in a straight line along the axis. It solves the problem that the existing general maintenance platform cannot effectively adapt to the narrow space of the window area and the requirements of straight docking.
[0011] 2. By setting asymmetrically arranged guide slider and positioning slider, and combining the swing fine adjustment mechanism on the traction frame and the posture adjustment unit composed of hydraulic jack, the present invention can achieve millimeter-level fine adjustment when the plug-in approaches the window flange, effectively compensate for manufacturing and installation errors, ensure that the hole positions of the plug-in flange and the vacuum chamber window flange are accurately aligned, and greatly improve the reliability of vacuum sealing.
[0012] 3. This invention only includes core components such as the plug-in track frame, ground traction track, traction trolley and control system. There are no redundant rotation or lifting mechanisms. The overall structure is compact and the control logic is clear, which significantly reduces the system complexity and failure rate and improves the efficiency and safety of maintenance operations.
[0013] 4. In this invention, the traction trolley is equipped with a high-torque drive device and a low-friction guide rail, which can stably traction a window plug weighing several tons to move smoothly along a straight track, avoiding vibration or skewing, and ensuring the structural integrity of the heavy plug during transportation and docking.
[0014] In summary, this invention, through the innovative use of a combination of linear sliding traction and multi-stage fine-tuning, successfully solves the technical challenge of high-precision and high-reliability installation and disassembly of window plugs in nuclear fusion devices, filling the gap in existing maintenance technologies in this specific field, and possesses outstanding practical value and engineering application prospects.

[0066] When the plug-in traction mechanism 4 moves, it is powered by a reduction servo motor 4.5.3, which drives the second gear 4.5.1 to rotate. At the same time, the power is transmitted to the second double gear 4.4.1, the third shaft 4.4.6, and the first gear 4.4.7, which drives the first double gear 4.3.1 to rotate and move on the rack 3.3.2. Under the action of the gear and rack transmission and the roller shaft group 4.2, the plug-in traction mechanism 4 moves linearly along the rack 3.3.2 on the base track frame 3.3.
[0067] like Figure 5i , Figure 5j , Figure 5kAs shown, the traction frame 4.6 includes a nylon sleeve 4.6.1, a tube 4.6.2, a square tube 4.6.3, a third set 4.6.4, a pin force sensor 4.6.5, and a limiting plate 4.6.6. The nylon sleeve 4.6.1 is fitted and fixed to the tube 4.6.2. The tube 4.6.2, square tube 4.6.3, and third set 4.6.4 are connected by welding. The pin force sensor 4.6.5 is installed in the third set 4.6.4. The limiting plate 4.6.6 can be bolted to the trolley frame 4.1. The traction frame 4.6 can rotate around the pin force sensor 4.6.5, and the limiting plate 4.6.6 limits the rotation angle of the traction frame 4.6.
[0068] like Figure 5l As shown, the traction rod 4.7 includes a fifth shaft 4.7.1 and a fourth gear 4.7.2. The fifth shaft 4.7.1 and the sleeve 4.6.2 can rotate at a small angle. During the docking process of the plug 1, the swing motor assembly 4.8 drives the traction rod 4.7 to rotate to adjust the docking posture of the lock seat 4.9.
[0069] The second locking pin assembly 4.11 has the same structure as the first locking pin assembly 3.2.8.
[0070] The control system 5 controls the pose adjustment of the plug-in 1 and the movement of the plug-in traction mechanism 4. For example... Figure 1a As shown in the plug-in 1 state, the hexagonal head bolt 4.12 is connected to the plug-in flange 1.1, and at the same time, the plug-in traction mechanism 4 is connected to the docking rail frame 3.2 through the second locking pin assembly 4.11. At this time, the second locking pin assembly 4.11 enters the hole on the positioning plate 3.2.9.
[0071] When plug 1 needs to be installed onto plug track frame 2, plug traction mechanism 4 pushes plug 1 along the track towards combined flange 2.2. First, control system 5 issues a command, and reduction servo motor 4.5.3 drives second gear 4.5.1 to rotate. At the same time, power is transmitted to second double gear 4.4.1, third shaft 4.4.6 and first gear 4.4.7, driving first double gear 4.3.1 to rotate and move on rack 3.3.2. Under the action of gear and rack transmission and roller shaft assembly 4.2, plug traction mechanism 4 moves linearly along rack 3.3.2 on base track frame 3.3. Simultaneously, the plug-in traction mechanism 4 drives the docking frame 3.2.1 and plug-in 1 to move together along the linear guide rail and slider assembly 3.2.5 until the positioning pin 2.4 enters the hole at the left end of the segmented sliding guide rail 3.2.2. At this time, the second locking pin assembly 4.11 exits the hole on the positioning plate 3.2.9, the plug-in traction mechanism 4 separates from the docking track frame 3.2, and the first locking pin assembly 3.2.8 connects with the limiting assembly 3.2.7, fixing the docking frame 3.2.1 and the track frame 3.2.4. Subsequently, the reduction servo motor 4.5.3 drives the plug-in traction mechanism 4 to continue moving along the rack 3.3.2, and the bottom slider of the plug-in continues to slide along the segmented sliding guide rail 3.2.2 and segmented guide rail 2.3 until the plug-in flange 1.1 approaches the combined flange 2.2. During the above process, after the plug-in 1 passes through the combined flange 2.2, it continues to move, using the ramp machined on the plug-in side stop 1.6 to adjust the radial position of the plug-in 1 and the combined flange 2.2 to ensure the docking accuracy of the hole. Then, control system 5 controls the plug-in position adjustment mechanism 1.7 to pressurize the hydraulic jack, raising plug-in 1 away from the flange end and bringing it into contact with the combined flange 2.2. Next, screw 1.8 is tightened, passing through holes in plug-in flange 1.1, plug-in mounting flange 2.2.1, and nut mounting block 2.2.2. At this point, control system 5 depressurizes the hydraulic jack, removes it, and installs the remaining screw. The bottom slider of the plug-in away from the flange end separates from the segmented guide rail 2.3, while the bottom slider of the plug-in near the flange end contacts the segmented guide rail 2.3 and bears part of the weight of plug-in 1. Plug-in 1 installation is complete.
[0072] When plug 1 needs to be removed, the locking seat 4.9 is installed onto plug flange 1.1 using hexagonal head bolts 4.12, and then the above process is reversed. In summary, in this invention, the cantilever installation of the plug and window flange requires high-precision docking and installation within a confined space, and must meet long-term stability requirements under heavy loads. A segmented nut mounting block is used, pre-installed in segments into the inner groove of the window flange using countersunk bolts; a disc spring is installed inside the bottom slider of the plug to achieve heavy load bearing; an asymmetrical slider layout is adopted, with the plug guide slider assembly and the plug positioning slider assembly working together to ensure that the sliding trajectory deviation meets the requirements; precise docking of the bolts on the drive traction rod with the flange threaded holes is achieved. Within a limited space, this invention uses a gear transmission system to achieve sliding of the plug on the track, and uses the pin shaft on the traction frame to fine-tune the docking deviation; the long straight distance movement of the plug is achieved through a steel structure support, track, and positioning pin.
[0073] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
