The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] The core of the utility model is to provide an adjustable transport storage device and a special transport vehicle for spent fuel packages, which can effectively improve the stability of the spent fuel packages when installed on the special transport vehicle and can match spent fuel packages of different sizes.

[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution provided by the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides an adjustable transport storage device 1 for a spent fuel package, comprising: a fixed baffle 101, a movable baffle 102 and a limiting assembly 103.

[0041] The fixed baffle 101 is used to be installed on the bottom plate 2 of a special transportation vehicle, and can be installed on the bottom plate 2 of the vehicle by welding, bolt connection, etc.

[0042] One end of the movable baffle 102 is slidably disposed on the fixed baffle 101, and the other end faces the spent fuel package 3 and is used to abut against the spent fuel package 3. The movable baffle 102 is a retractable component on the adjustable transport storage device 1, and can adaptively compensate for the deviation of the outer dimensions of the spent fuel package 3 by adjusting its own extended length.

[0043] The limiting assembly 103 is used to limit the relative displacement between the fixed baffle 101 and the movable baffle 102 .

[0044] There are multiple adjustable transport storage devices 1 , which are arranged circumferentially around the spent fuel package 3 , and can strengthen and fix the spent fuel package 3 in both the lateral and longitudinal directions.

[0045] The present solution provides an adjustable transport storage device 1 for spent fuel packages. A plurality of adjustable transport storage devices 1 are arranged at the installation position of the spent fuel package 3 of the special transport vehicle. The adjustable transport storage devices 1 are arranged circumferentially at the installation position. The fixed baffle 101 is fixed on the bottom plate 2 of the special transport vehicle. The movable baffle 102 slides relative to the fixed baffle 101. After the spent fuel package 3 is placed, the extension length of the movable baffle 102 is adjusted according to the outer dimensions of the spent fuel package 3. After the adjustment is in place, the relative displacement of the fixed baffle 101 and the movable baffle 102 is limited by the limit assembly 103. Thus, adaptive adjustment can be made for the situation where the outer dimensions of the spent fuel package 3 are not completely consistent.

[0046] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the influence of shear force during transportation can be effectively resisted, the stability of the spent fuel package 3 when installed on a special transportation vehicle is improved, which is beneficial to the safety of transportation, and adaptive adjustment can be made according to the different outer dimensions of the spent fuel package 3 to prevent looseness between the spent fuel package 3 and the adjustable transportation storage device 1.

[0047] In order to resist the influence of shear force during transportation, adjustable transport storage devices 1 are provided in both the lateral and longitudinal directions of the spent fuel package 3. At least two of the multiple adjustable transport storage devices 1 are provided on both lateral sides of the spent fuel package 3, and at least two are provided on both longitudinal sides of the spent fuel package 3.

[0048] The above-mentioned multiple adjustable transport storage devices 1 are divided into a fixed part and a movable part when the basic sizes of the spent fuel packages 3 are not much different. The fixed part is a fixed slider, which is welded or integrally arranged on the bottom plate 2. The movable part can flexibly adjust its extension length, which is equivalent to a telescopic mechanism, so that it can abut against the spent fuel packages 3, thereby adapting to the fixation of spent fuel packages 3 of different sizes on the bottom plate 2. The adjustable transport storage device 1 arranged horizontally mainly plays the role of resisting horizontal shear force, and the adjustable transport storage device 1 arranged vertically plays the role of resisting vertical shear force.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, a slide groove is provided on the fixed baffle 101, and a position limiting component 103 mounting hole for mounting the position limiting component 103 is provided on the fixed baffle 101. The movable baffle 102 is slidably connected with the slide groove of the fixed baffle 101.

[0050] In one form, such as Figure 1As shown, the slide groove is the central cavity of the fixed baffle 101 , and the fixed baffle 101 surrounds the movable baffle 102 to form a cavity that wraps around and can be slidably connected to the movable baffle 102 .

[0051] In another form, the slide groove is opened on a side wall of the fixed baffle 101.

[0052] In another form, Figure 2 As shown, the slide grooves are two slide rails 1011 extending from both sides of the fixed baffle 101 , and the two slide rails 1011 are slidably connected to both sides of the movable baffle 102 .

[0053] On the basis of the above specific embodiments, a plurality of limiting holes can be opened in the movable baffle 102 along the sliding direction, and the plurality of limiting holes are arranged at intervals, and the limiting assembly 103 is a clamping block used to cooperate with the limiting holes for limiting. When the movable baffle 102 moves to a suitable position, the corresponding limiting hole is selected, and the clamping block is clamped with the limiting hole to achieve limiting.

[0054] Further, such as Figure 1 The movable baffle 102 is provided with a guide groove along the sliding direction, and a plurality of limiting holes are provided on the guide groove. The block can be slidably connected with the guide groove in the unlimited state, and inserted into the corresponding limiting hole for limiting in the limited state.

[0055] On the basis of the above specific embodiment, the fixed baffle 101 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes along the sliding direction, and the limiting assembly 103 is a limiting bolt used to threadably cooperate with the threaded hole. Of course, only one threaded hole may be provided on the fixed baffle 101, and the limiting assembly 103 is a limiting bolt used to threadably cooperate with the threaded hole. When the movable baffle 102 moves to a suitable position, the limiting bolt is tightened to tighten and squeeze the end face of the fixed baffle 101, so as to achieve the limiting of the two.

[0056] In addition, the utility model also provides a special transport vehicle, including a vehicle body and the adjustable transport storage device 1 for spent fuel packages of the above specific embodiment.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the fixed baffle 101 is welded to the bottom plate 2 of the special transportation vehicle, or the fixed baffle 101 and the bottom plate 2 are an integrally formed structure, such as an integrally cast structure.

[0058] A plurality of bolt holes are pre-set on the bottom plate 2 at the installation position of the spent fuel package 3, and some of the bolt holes correspond to the bolt connection holes on the spent fuel package 3. Of course, the bottom plate 2 can also pre-set structures such as a fixed baffle 101 at the installation position of the spent fuel package 3.

[0059] With such arrangement, the extension length of the adjustable transport storage device 1 can be adjusted as needed to avoid the spent fuel packages 3 being unable to be installed on the bottom plate 2 of the special transport vehicle due to tolerances in the manufacturing process, and seamless connection between the adjustable transport storage device 1 and the spent fuel packages 3 can also be achieved.
