[0022] Figures 1 to 3A sealing device for stirring and solidifying radioactive wet waste barrels in nuclear power plants in one embodiment of the utility model is shown. The sealing device for stirring and solidifying radioactive wet waste barrels in nuclear power plants can be used to seal the stirring device, and may include: a base 5, a dust cover 1, a lifting assembly and a support frame 7; the dust cover 1 is arranged on the base 5, the support frame 7 is sleeved on the dust cover 1, the lifting assembly includes a fixing member 4 and an output element 2, the fixing member 4 is fixed on the base 5, the output element 2 is arranged on the fixing member 4, the output element 2 is provided with an output end, the output end of the output element 2 is connected to the support frame 7, the output end moves upward from the base 5, and an elastic sealing ring is provided on the upper part of the dust cover 1. By arranging the dust cover 1 and the output element 2 on the base 5, the output end of the output element 2 will drive the dust cover 1 to rise, the dust cover 1 rises to the bottom of the stirring device, and the dust cover 1 is well sealed with the bottom of the stirring device. When sealing is not required, the output end of the output element 2 will drive the dust cover 1 to descend, and the whole process is fully automatic, without manual operation, to achieve protection against radioactive dust and improve the safety protection of operators.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, the dust cover 1 is folded to reduce its volume and height.

[0024] In one embodiment, the output element 2 may include a pneumatic unit, the extension rod of the pneumatic unit is the output end, the pneumatic unit has stable power, low cost, and can provide linear motion. There are at least two output elements, and the output elements are evenly arranged on the base.

The limit sensor can sense that the guide rod 3 or the extension rod has reached the specified position, and then stop the movement of the cylinder to prevent the cylinder from continuously outputting power, causing the dust cover 1 to abut against the stirring equipment, causing damage to the dust cover 1, thereby increasing the service life of the device.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the limit sensor is a metal proximity sensor, which directly senses the position of the guide rod 3 or the extension rod, and has low cost and high reliability.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, a buffer is also provided on the pneumatic unit, and the buffer is arranged on the guide rod 3. When the guide rod 3 rises, the bottom of the guide rod 3 will contact the buffer, slowing down the speed of the guide rod 3, and then slowing down the rising speed of the dust cover 1, which can prevent the dust cover 1 from directly hitting the stirring equipment.

[0030] The pneumatic unit may include a buffer in one embodiment, and the buffer is arranged at one end of the cylinder with the guide rod 3 away from the extension rod.

[0031] It is understandable that the buffer can be one of a hydraulic buffer, a polyurethane buffer, and a spring buffer.

[0033] In one embodiment, the base 5 may include an exhaust port 6 disposed below the base 5 , and the exhaust port 6 is used to exhaust dust.

[0034] In one embodiment, the dust cover 1 may include: the dust cover 1 is made of metal fiber radiation-proof fabric, and the radiation-proof fabric can effectively block radiation.

[0035] It can be understood that the dust cover 1 can be made of other fabrics with radiation protection, such as multi-element fabrics, copper / nickel ion fabrics, silver fiber fabrics, and unidirectional anti-static fabrics.

[0036] In one embodiment, the base 5 and the dust cover 1 may include: the base 5 is circular, and the shape of the dust cover 1 matches the base 5 .

[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.
