Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nuclear fuel assemblies, in particular to a lower tube seat detection device. Background Art

[0002] A nuclear fuel assembly usually includes a number of fuel rods, a number of guide tubes and spacer grids, an upper tube seat and a lower tube seat. The nuclear fuel assembly is located between the upper and lower plates of the reactor core. The coolant passes through the reserved holes in the core plate, enters the fuel rod bundle inside the fuel assembly from the lower tube seat, and flows out of the nuclear fuel assembly through the upper tube seat, taking away the heat generated by the nuclear reaction of the fuel rod bundle.

[0003] Among them, the lower tube seat, as an important component of the nuclear fuel assembly, is one of the main load-bearing components of the nuclear fuel assembly. Its reliability directly affects the safety of the nuclear fuel assembly during operation, transportation and operation. At the same time, the lower tube seat is also an important interface component, and its structural design has a direct impact on the operating performance of the nuclear fuel assembly and its compatibility with the internal components of the reactor. As the inlet of the core coolant, the foreign matter prevention performance of the lower tube seat is also one of the important indicators of its comprehensive performance. Foreign matter in the coolant, such as metal debris, entering the fuel assembly will cause serious damage to the fuel rod cladding tube due to collision and friction. In order to prevent foreign matter from entering the nuclear fuel assembly, the lower tube seat should play an important role as the coolant inlet.

[0004] It can be seen that the quality of the lower tube seat is of vital importance. After the lower tube seat is produced, it needs to be fully inspected to ensure that the appearance of the lower tube seat is free of cracks and flaws and of good quality to avoid safety hazards in subsequent use. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the commonly used lower tube seat 1 is usually a spatial curved surface structure, which is mainly assembled and brazed by five parts: a lower tube seat structure, multiple ribs, multiple blades, a central instrument tube seat, and multiple guide tube seats. All parts are connected by brazing seams, and the welding structure is complex and has many structural gaps. At present, most of the methods for detecting it are to take a plane photo of the lower tube seat at a fixed angle, and then perform defect detection based on the picture. In this way, some parts of the lower tube seat are blocked or the gap is small, and the problem of not being able to be photographed will occur. The detection of the lower tube seat is not comprehensive, resulting in the omission of some parts of the lower tube seat, and the detection accuracy is low. In addition, the current detection process is not standardized, and the detection device has a low degree of automation, resulting in a complex, disordered, time-consuming and labor-intensive detection process, which seriously affects the detection efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, how to standardize the inspection process of the lower pipeline, improve the inspection device of the lower pipeline, and improve the comprehensiveness, accuracy and efficiency of the lower pipeline inspection is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0039] Specifically, the material rack body 201 is provided with a first rail group, a second rail group and a third rail group in parallel from bottom to top. Correspondingly, pulleys are provided on both sides of the bottom of the first bracket 202 for sliding connection with the first rail group, and the first bracket 202 can be guided and moved along the first rail group. Pullies are provided on both sides of the bottom of the second bracket 202 for sliding connection with the second rail group, and the second bracket 202 can be guided and moved along the second rail group. Preferably, a first positioning member and a second positioning member are also provided on the operating table 10, and the first positioning member and the second positioning member are used to fix the positions of the first bracket 202 and the second bracket 203 respectively.

[0040] In actual applications, after the loading is completed, that is, all the tooling plates on the upper and lower material trays are filled with the lower tube seats (in this embodiment, the upper and lower material trays can carry a total of 12 lower tube seats), the first bracket 202 and the second bracket 203 are respectively controlled to move along the first slide rail group and the second slide rail group.

[0041] Further, the grasping mechanism 30 includes a first transfer rod 301, a second transfer rod 302 and a clamping mechanism 303, wherein the clamping mechanism 303 is arranged at the bottom end of the second transfer rod 302, the first transfer rod 301 and the second transfer rod 302 are arranged vertically, and the first transfer rod 301 can move along the length direction of the first transfer rod 301, and pulleys are arranged at both ends of the bottom of the first transfer rod 301 for sliding connection with the third slide rail group, and the driving mechanism is also used to drive the first transfer rod 301 to move along the third slide rail group.

[0045] Furthermore, the lower pipe seat detection device also includes a lifting and rotating mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is arranged below the detection platform 40 and is used to lift the detection platform 40 and rotate the detection platform 40 to face the detection mechanism 60. Furthermore, the lifting and rotating mechanism includes a lifting structure and a rotating structure, the lifting structure is used to lift the detection platform 40, and the rotating structure drives the detection platform 40 to rotate by 90 degrees each time. Preferably, the lifting structure is a lifting cylinder.

[0046] In this embodiment, the workflow of detecting the lower tube seat 1 based on the lower tube seat detection device is as follows:

[0047] When loading materials manually, first drive the second bracket 203 to drive its loading tray to slide to the side close to the detection table 40, and drive the first bracket 202 to drive its loading tray to slide to the side away from the detection table 40, so as to facilitate loading of the tray located on the first bracket 202. Specifically, before loading the tray located on the first bracket 202, flip up the corresponding pressing plate, and then pull the three tooling plates to the outside of the operating table 10 respectively, and load the lower tube holder 1 to the first cache position of each tooling plate respectively, wherein the first cache position on each tooling plate is closer to the detection table than the second cache position thereon. After the first cache positions of the three tooling plates are loaded with materials, the tooling plates are pushed to the inner side of the operating table 10, and the three pressing plates are closed respectively to fix the corresponding tooling plates, and then the lower tube seats are loaded into the second cache positions of each tooling plate respectively. After all the tooling plates on the material tray on the first bracket 202 are filled with the lower tube seats, all the tooling plates on the material tray on the second bracket 203 are loaded with materials. The specific process method is the same as above and will not be repeated here.

[0048] After all the tooling plates of the two material trays are loaded with materials, first select a lower tube seat 1 as the target lower tube seat, and then control and drive the first bracket 202 and the second bracket 203 to move, so that the clamping mechanism 303 clamps the target lower tube seat from the corresponding cache position, and controls the clamping mechanism 303 to place the target lower tube seat on the inspection table 40, and then resets the clamping mechanism 303.

[0049] Next, the appearance of the target lower tube socket is inspected, and the side appearance information of the target lower tube socket is first obtained. Specifically, the first inspection camera 601 is first controlled to scan one side of the target lower tube socket, and then the rotating mechanism is controlled to drive the inspection platform 40 to rotate. The first inspection camera 601 scans another side of the target lower tube socket, and the rotating mechanism is continued to be controlled to drive the inspection platform 40 to rotate, so that the first inspection camera 601 repeatedly scans the four sides of the target lower tube socket until the appearance information of the four sides of the target lower tube socket is complete and accurate enough.

[0050] Then, the appearance information of the upper and lower end faces of the target lower tube seat is obtained. First, the robot gripper 604 is controlled to drive the endoscope 603 and the second detection camera 602 to scan the upper end face of the target lower tube seat, so as to obtain the appearance information of the upper end face of the target lower tube seat. Then, after the jacking structure is controlled to lift the detection platform to the target position, the flip mechanism 50 is controlled to clamp the target lower tube seat, and the jacking structure is controlled to descend. After the flip mechanism 50 is controlled to complete the flipping of the target lower tube seat, the jacking structure is controlled to lift the detection platform 40 to the target position, and then the flip mechanism 50 is controlled to release the target lower tube seat, and the jacking structure is controlled to descend. Then, the robot gripper 604 is controlled to drive the endoscope 603 and the second detection camera 602 to scan the lower end face of the target lower tube seat, so as to obtain the appearance information of the lower end face of the target lower tube seat. Then, the clamp mechanism 303 is controlled to re-grip the target lower tube socket whose appearance information has been obtained completely and place it on the original cache position, and the position information of the cache position corresponding to the target lower tube socket is sent to the control module to avoid repeated grasping and testing of the target lower tube socket in the future. Finally, the control module obtains the test results based on the appearance information of the four side surfaces and the upper and lower end surfaces of the target lower tube socket. Repeat the above operations, complete the appearance inspection of the lower tube sockets 1 on all cache positions in turn, and then load and inspect the appearance of the next batch of lower tube sockets 1.
