Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic control of nuclear power plants, and particularly to a valve. Background Art
[0002] A large number of valves are installed in various process systems of nuclear power plants. These valves can be divided into two types: those with built-in stroke measurement devices and those without. Valves with built-in stroke measurement devices currently use displacement sensors to feedback the current stroke of the valve to the control system. After the valve with a built-in stroke measurement device is overhauled and reassembled, maintenance personnel need to use a vernier caliper to measure the valve stroke to ensure that the valve stroke remains unchanged before and after installation. The data measured by the vernier caliper is used as the standard data and used to correct the displacement sensor.
[0003] The displacement sensor used in the valve with a built-in stroke measurement device to measure the valve stroke has certain errors, low measurement accuracy, and the measured data does not conform to the redundancy principle of nuclear power plants. Therefore, adding an external valve stroke measurement device helps to improve the credibility of the data and improve the safe operation of nuclear power.
[0004] Due to the harsh working environment of the valve, poor lighting, difficult fixation of the vernier caliper, and the need for manual recording of data, the current time for manually measuring the stroke of 1 valve after maintenance is about 1 hour. The number of valves in nuclear power plants is huge, and a large amount of time is spent on valve stroke measurement during each major overhaul. Valves without built-in stroke measurement devices are installed with valve position switches. Only when the valve is in the fully open or fully closed state, the valve opening can be displayed as 0% or 100%, and thus the current valve stroke can be known. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a valve that facilitates the collection of valve stroke data and realizes automatic control, with high measurement efficiency and accuracy.
[0006] The utility model provides a valve, including: a valve stem, a valve stroke display, a valve stroke measurement plate, a valve stroke measurement device, and a human-machine interaction terminal.

[0008] The laser displacement sensor is arranged on the base, and the first communication module and the microprocessor are arranged inside the base.
[0009] The human-machine interaction terminal is provided with a second communication module and an operation interface.
[0010] The valve stroke measurement device is located below the valve stroke measurement plate.
[0011] The data measured by the laser displacement sensor is processed by the microprocessor and then sent to the first communication module, and further transmitted to the human-computer interaction terminal to achieve long-distance data transmission.
[0012] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the valve stroke measuring device can be permanently fixed on the valve by screws.
[0013] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the valve stroke measuring device is fixed on the valve once by a magnetic attraction device.
[0014] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the measurement accuracy of the laser displacement sensor is 0.01 mm.
[0015] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the laser displacement sensor includes a laser emitting device and a laser receiving device.
[0016] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the laser emitter emits laser light, which is reflected back when it encounters the valve stroke measurement plate. The laser receiving device sends the data to the microprocessor, and the microprocessor calculates the current valve stroke data. The microprocessor sends the valve stroke data to the human-computer interaction terminal through the first communication module, and the human-computer interaction terminal saves the valve stroke data for the maintenance personnel to view.
[0017] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the first communication module and the second communication module use 4G or 5G communication technology for long-distance data transmission.
