Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of auxiliary instruments for nuclear power plants, in particular to a manual valve wrench. Background Art
[0002] The core measurement system of a nuclear power plant is an important part of the instrumentation and control system of a nuclear power plant. It consists of three systems: water level measurement, temperature measurement, and neutron flux measurement. The neutron flux measurement system includes a cabinet, a drive mechanism, and a selector.
[0003] The manual valve plays a very important role in the neutron flux measurement system. It is a barrier to prevent the leakage of the primary circuit water in the guide tube. Under normal operating conditions of the nuclear power plant, the manual valve is open, and the finger sleeve passes through its internal cavity into the pressure vessel to reach the top of the core fuel assembly. When the nuclear power plant needs to completely withdraw the entire finger sleeve from the pressure vessel, the manual valve needs to be closed to prevent the withdrawal of the finger sleeve from causing leakage of the primary circuit water.
[0004] The appearance and structure of the manual valve are different from those of conventional doors on the market. In addition, the installation space of the manual valve on site is relatively narrow, so a special tool is required to open and close the manual valve. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a manual valve wrench for the above-mentioned problem, which can be applied to the manual valve of the neutron flux measurement system and can be used in the narrow installation space on site.
[0006] The utility model solves the above technical problems by adopting a technical solution: providing a manual valve wrench, including a wrench head matching the lock cover of the manual valve, a plug radially arranged on the inner wall of the wrench head and having a protruding amount, and a handle for rotation; the wrench head contacts the outer wall surface of the lock cover of the manual valve, and the plug is inserted into the insertion hole of the manual valve. When in use, the wrench head is matched with the outer surface of the lock cover of the valve, and the plug is inserted into the wrench insertion hole. The handle is rotated with the center of the wrench head to open and close the manual valve.
[0007] Furthermore, it is preferred that the wrench head is a semicircular arc structure, and the radius of the arc is consistent with the radius of the lock cover of the manual valve to ensure that the two can fit tightly.
[0008] Furthermore, the manual valve wrench preferably also includes a baffle plate disposed on the top surface of the wrench head, and the baffle plate is pressed against the upper end surface of the nail of the manual valve. The size and shape of the baffle plate are designed according to the upper end surface of the nail of the manual valve to ensure that the baffle plate can be tightly pressed against the upper end surface of the nail. The setting of the baffle plate can better hold the manual valve and prevent it from suddenly bursting out due to external force during the rotation process, thereby improving safety, and can also position the manual valve wrench to reach the target working position more quickly.
[0009] Further, it is preferred that the diameter of the plug is consistent with the diameter of the insertion hole of the manual valve to ensure that the plug can be firmly inserted into the hole.
[0010] Furthermore, it is preferred that the length of the plug is at least 1 / 2 of the depth of the insertion hole of the manual valve to ensure that the plug can be firmly inserted into the hole.
[0011] Furthermore, it is preferred that a guide head is provided at the front section of the plug, and the width of the guide head gradually increases from the outer end to the inner end. The provision of the guide head enables the plug to be inserted into the insertion hole of the manual valve better and faster.
[0012] Furthermore, it is preferred that the handle is detachably connected to the wrench head.
[0013] Furthermore, it is preferred that the handle is fixedly connected to the wrench head.
[0014] Furthermore, it is preferred that the wrench head and the plug are made of metal.
[0015] The manual valve wrench of the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. Through the specially designed wrench and plug, a stable connection with the manual valve is achieved, which effectively prevents slippage during operation, improves work efficiency and reduces safety hazards.
[0017] 2. The design of the baffle further enhances the connection stability between the wrench and the manual valve, making the operation more reliable.
[0018] 3. The design of the handle fully considers the principles of ergonomics, making the operation more convenient and comfortable, and reducing the fatigue of the operator.
[0019] 4. The connection methods between the various parts of the wrench are flexible and diverse. They can be either detachable or fixed, which is convenient for adjustment according to actual needs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
