Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of valve switch devices, in particular to an underwater press-type valve switch device used in a nuclear power plant. Background Art

[0002] A nuclear power plant is a facility that uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity. They are usually composed of nuclear reactors, cooling systems, generators and safety systems, which are used to control and manage the energy release process of nuclear reactions. Nuclear power plants have some advantages over traditional thermal power plants, such as high fuel utilization and low carbon emissions, but they also face nuclear safety issues.

[0003] Because nuclear power plants have underwater instruments and equipment that need to close valves, but operators cannot enter to operate them, they need to operate the valves on the water with the help of tools. Currently, the main method used is to turn the handle to open or close the valve. This design has some disadvantages. The operator applies a certain torque or force to open or close the valve, which is difficult to operate and consumes a lot of physical energy, especially in a small environment.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0010] The operator of the utility model can use this tool to remotely operate the ball valve on the underwater instrument to open and close the ball valve; the tool needs to be used in conjunction with the irradiation monitoring tube operating tool (FH56). Compared with the previous rotating handle, the operating space requirement is less, the operator is easier to operate, and the control of the rotation angle is more precise.
