Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of control rod abrasion testing, in particular to a control rod guide mechanism abrasion testing device. Background Art

[0002] During the service, Figure 1 As shown, the vibrations generated by the control rod 2 during the up and down stepping process or under the action of fluid force may cause abrasion with its guide mechanism 10. The abrasion reduces the mechanical strength of the control rod 2 cladding and increases fatigue. In severe cases, it will affect the structural integrity of the cladding and cause control rod failure. Abrasion test is an important means to study the abrasion problem of control rod cladding. The test device generally includes a friction pair of the control rod cladding and a simulated guide mechanism. Due to the contact during the abrasion test (changes in shape and material), a new control rod cladding and a friction pair of the simulated guide mechanism need to be replaced after each abrasion test. Considering that abrasion often occurs mainly in abrasion-sensitive areas, other areas are little affected by abrasion before and after the test. Therefore, it is necessary to design an abrasion mechanism that focuses on abrasion-sensitive areas, and each new test only requires the replacement of structural parts in the abrasion-sensitive area.

[0030] See also Figures 2 to 11, is a control rod guide mechanism abrasion test equipment in some embodiments of the utility model, which is used to test and study the wear law of the control rod cladding under different structures. The control rod guide mechanism abrasion test equipment specifically includes a receiving base 1, an abrasion sensitive area component 3 detachably mounted on the receiving base 1 and used to receive the control rod 2, a fixing part 4 for fixing the control rod 2, a first electromagnetic vibrator 5 for applying an impact load to the control rod 2, a second electromagnetic vibrator 6 for applying abrasion displacement to the control rod 2, and a displacement sensor 7 for measuring the displacement distance of the control rod 2. Specifically, a hole can be drilled on the accommodating base 1, and the accommodating base 1 can be fixed to the test bench by bolts. The accommodating base 1 has a accommodating groove 11 for accommodating the abrasion sensitive area component 3. Three connecting holes can be opened on the left side, lower middle part and right side of the accommodating groove 11. At the same time, three connecting holes corresponding to the above three connecting holes are also opened on the left side, lower middle part and right side of the outer wall of the abrasion sensitive area component 3. A perforated thick iron sheet can be used between the accommodating base 1 and the abrasion sensitive area component 3, and the accommodating base 1 and the abrasion sensitive area component 3 are fixedly connected together by bolts. This detachable method can facilitate the replacement of abrasion sensitive area components 3 of different specifications and can achieve rapid assembly.

[0031] In addition, the shape of the fixing member 4 matches the control rod 2, and cooperates with the accommodating base 1 to fix the control rod 2. The first electromagnetic vibrator 5 and the second electromagnetic vibrator 6 cooperate to simulate the abrasion process of the control rod 2. The displacement sensor 7 is preferably a laser displacement sensor 7. The first electromagnetic vibrator 5, the second electromagnetic vibrator 6 and the laser displacement sensor 7 can all be mature products of the existing technology.

[0032] The abrasion sensitive area component 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31 for receiving the control rod 2. The receiving groove 31 is composed of a guide section 311 and an abrasion positioning section 312. The abrasion positioning section 312 is located below the guide section 311. The guide section 311 is arc-shaped and part of it is at least in line contact with the control rod 2. The receiving groove 11 has an arc-shaped section connected to the guide section 311 and having the same size above, so as to form a space for receiving the control rod 2.

The abrasion sensitive area component 3 can be of various types to realize experimental research under different abrasion degrees of different abrasion sensitive area component 3 structures. The abrasion sensitive area component 3 mainly includes two main types: arc-shaped abrasion sensitive area component and open groove-shaped abrasion sensitive area component. The abrasion positioning sections 312 of the arc-shaped abrasion sensitive area component and the open groove-shaped abrasion sensitive area component are constructed with reference to the above-mentioned central axis, reference circle, and reference arc surface.

[0035] The structure of the arc-shaped abrasion sensitive area component is as follows: the abrasion positioning section 312 is in a complete arc shape, and the radius of the abrasion positioning section 312 is 1.1 times the radius of the control rod 2.

In the following figures, the distance represented by the size is appropriately enlarged for clearer reference.

[0040] In addition, the structure of the open slot type abrasion sensitive area component is as follows: the abrasion positioning section 312 is arc-shaped, and a groove 313 is provided in the middle of the abrasion positioning section 312. The setting of the groove 313 can solve the space limitation of radial impact, and the radius of the abrasion positioning section 312 is 1.1 times the radius of the control rod 2. At the same time, in order to realize the experimental research of different abrasion sensitive area components 3 structures with different abrasion degrees, the open slot type abrasion sensitive area component 3 can be divided into three types, namely, a lightly abrasive open slot abrasion sensitive area component, a moderately abrasive open slot abrasion sensitive area component, and a heavily abrasive open slot abrasion sensitive area component.
