Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", "third", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Figures 1 to 3The utility model shows a novel exhaust system of a pneumatic pump of a nuclear power unit in one embodiment of the utility model, which can be used to fully fill the inlet pipe section of the pneumatic pump 110 with water and exhaust the air, and can include an exhaust system for exhausting air in a cooling water system, the cooling water system includes a cooling water pipeline 120, a liquid reservoir 100 and the pneumatic pump 110; an exhaust device 200, a switch valve 210, an exhaust valve 220 and a bubble detection module 230; the exhaust device 200 is arranged on the cooling water pipeline 120 between the pneumatic pump 110 and the liquid reservoir 100, and the exhaust valve 220 is arranged on the cooling water pipeline 120 between the exhaust device 200 and the pneumatic pump 110. 0, the switch valve 210 is arranged on the cooling water pipe 120 between the exhaust device 200 and the liquid reservoir 100, and the bubble detection module 230 is arranged on the cooling water pipe 120, and the bubble detection module 230 is used to detect bubbles in the cooling water pipe 120; wherein, when the exhaust device 200 is connected to the cooling water pipe 120, the cooling water pipe 120 between the exhaust valve 220 and the exhaust device 200 is in a disconnected state, and the pneumatic pump 110 and the cooling water pipe 120 of the liquid reservoir 100 are in a connected state; when the exhaust device 200 is disconnected from the cooling water pipe 120, the cooling water pipe 120 between the pneumatic pump 110 and the liquid reservoir 100 is in a connected state. By setting a bubble detection module 230 on the cooling water pipe 120, it is detected that there are bubbles in the cooling water pipe 120, and an exhaust device 200 is installed on the cooling water pipe 120 between the pneumatic pump 110 and the liquid reservoir 100. The water inlet 111 of the pneumatic pump 110 is disconnected from the cooling water pipe 120 of the liquid reservoir 100. At this time, the exhaust device 200 is connected to the liquid reservoir 100 through the cooling water pipe 120. The user injects the cooling water in the liquid reservoir 100 into the cooling water pipe 120 through the switch valve 210, and the air and water in the cooling water pipe 120 will be completely discharged from the exhaust device 200. The user then closes the switch valve 210, removes the exhaust device 200, reconnects the water inlet 111 of the liquid reservoir 100 with the cooling water pipe 120, starts the switch valve 210, and then opens the exhaust valve 220 to exhaust the remaining air inside, completing the full filling and exhaust of the inlet pipe section of the pneumatic pump 110.

[0025] It can be understood that the exhaust device 200 has the same pipe diameter as the cooling water pipe 120 at the connection point, and the gas and liquid can be discharged directly in a channel greater than or equal to the diameter. The exhaust valve 220 is too small relative to the pipe diameter of the cooling water pipe 120. When filling with water, only a small part of the air can be discharged, and the air in the breath-holding area will still not be discharged. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve complete gas discharge using only the exhaust valve 220.

[0026] It is understandable that when the exhaust device 200 is disassembled, air will remain in the cooling water pipe 120 at the disassembly location, and the exhaust valve 220 is required to discharge the air.

[0027] In one embodiment, the exhaust device 200 may include: the double flange pipe 201, the adapter flange 203 and the double flange reducing pipe 202 are connected and sealed by flange gaskets and bolts 205, the flange gasket plays a sealing role, and the bolts 205 play a fastening role.

[0028] In one embodiment, the bubble detection module 230 may include: the bubble detection module 230 is composed of a plurality of bubble detection sensors, and the bubble detection sensors are arranged at the air-holding points of the entire cooling water pipeline 120. It can be understood that the air-holding points are generally the highest points and corners of the pipeline.

[0029] In one embodiment, the bubble detection module 230 may include that the bubble detection sensor is an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor does not need to be arranged in the cooling water pipe 120, but can be directly fixed outside the pipe, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0030] In one embodiment, the bubble detection sensor may include: the bubble detection sensor is also arranged on the cooling water pipe 120 at the exhaust valve 220. After the exhaust device 200 is disassembled and assembled, a large number of bubbles exist near the exhaust device 200, and the exhaust valve 220 can discharge the bubbles.

[0031] In one embodiment, the switch valve 210 may include a gate valve.

[0032] In one embodiment, the exhaust valve 220 may be a sewage compound exhaust valve 220. The compound exhaust valve 220 is used to remove a large amount of air gathered in the pipe, and once negative pressure is generated in the pipe, the valve quickly inhales outside air to protect the pipeline from damage caused by negative pressure.

[0033] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the exhaust device 200 may include a double flange pipe 201, an adapter flange 203 and a discharge pipe 204, wherein the double flange pipe 201 is connected to the cooling water pipe 120, the adapter flange 203 is connected to the double flange pipe 201, and the discharge pipe 204 is connected to the adapter flange 203. It can be understood that the large-diameter cooling water pipe 120 has a higher efficiency of flange connection and disassembly. Because the discharge pipe 204 is a hose, the adapter flange 203 is required to connect it to the double flange pipe 201.

[0034] In one embodiment, the double flange pipe 201 may include a bent pipe structure, one end of the double flange pipe 201 is connected to the cooling water pipe 120, and the other end of the double flange pipe 201 forms an angle with the cooling water pipe 120. The bent pipe structure can avoid the original cooling water pipe 120 and prevent the discharge pipe 204 from interfering with the original cooling water pipe 120.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the double flange pipe 201 has a bend angle of 90 degrees.

[0036] In one embodiment, the exhaust device 200 also includes a double-flange reducer 202, the two ends of the double-flange reducer 202 have different diameters, and the double-flange reducer 202 is connected between the double-flange pipe 201 and the adapter flange 203. Because the diameters of the cooling water pipe 120 are different, the required diameters of the double-flange pipe 201 are also different, and a special double-flange reducer 202 is required for docking.

[0037] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the utility model should fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model.
