[0034] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the predetermined utility model purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manners, structures, features, and effects of the automatic flipping device for a horizontal transportation container proposed according to the present utility model as follows.

[0035] As Figure 1-4 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an automatic flipping device for a horizontal transportation container, including:

[0036] A flipping platform (100), the flipping platform (100) is used to connect a horizontal transportation container (10), and the positions of the flipping platform (100) include a horizontal position and a vertical position;

[0037] A support chassis (200), the flipping platform (100) is connected to the support chassis (200);

[0038] A flipping drive mechanism (300), the flipping drive mechanism (300) is connected to the flipping platform (100), and the flipping drive mechanism (300) is used to drive the flipping platform (100) to rotate so as to drive the flipping platform (100) to move between a horizontal position and a vertical position.

[0039] The horizontal transportation container (10) is a special transportation container developed specifically for the transportation of fuel assemblies. The outer contour of the horizontal transportation container (10) is a roughly cylindrical structure. The horizontal transportation container (10) is about 2,800 millimeters long in the axial direction, about 1,060 millimeters high radially, and about 900 millimeters in diameter at the cylinder body. The horizontal transportation container (10) can be divided into an upper cylinder body assembly and a lower cylinder body assembly along the middle axis. Inside both the upper cylinder body assembly and the lower cylinder body assembly, a W-shaped plate assembly is installed. The cross-sectional shape of the W-shaped plate assembly is the same as that of the fuel assembly, and it is used for fixing and restraining the long-strip-shaped fuel assembly during transportation. The horizontal transportation container (10) has two working postures, namely the horizontal posture and the vertical posture. The horizontal posture is the transportation state of the horizontal transportation container (10). At this time, the fuel assembly is also in the horizontal position and is fixed in the inner cavity of the W-shaped plate assemblies of the upper cylinder body assembly and the lower cylinder body assembly, thus ensuring the safety of transportation and reducing the transportation difficulty. The horizontal transportation container (10) in the vertical posture is mainly used for loading and unloading the fuel assembly.

[0040] The size of the flipping platform (100) should be adapted to the size of the horizontal transportation container (10). For example, the flipping platform (100) is a plate-like structure similar to a rectangle. The flipping platform (100) can be solid, or it can be a cavity-like structure including multiple plate ribs for support as shown in Figure 4 . The length direction of the flipping platform (100) refers to the direction corresponding to the axial direction of the horizontal transportation container (10) during use, while the width direction of the flipping platform (100) refers to the direction corresponding to the radial direction of the horizontal transportation container (10) during use.

[0041] The support chassis (200) is composed of structural steel and serves as the bottom support frame of the entire automatic flipping device. The shape of the support chassis (200), or at least its extension range on the horizontal plane, should be larger than that of the flipping platform (100), thus ensuring the stability of the entire automatic flipping device. The overall external dimensions of the automatic flipping device are approximately 4,200 millimeters long, 2,040 millimeters wide, and 2,165 high.

[0042] The position of the flipping platform (100) refers to the position of the flipping platform (100) relative to the ground or the support chassis (200). As shown in Figure 2 , the horizontal position of the flipping platform (100) refers to the position of the flipping platform (100) when the horizontal transportation container (10) connected to the flipping platform (100) is in the horizontal posture, or the position when the plate-like flipping platform (100) is horizontal. As shown in Figure 3 , the vertical position of the flipping platform (100) refers to the position of the flipping platform (100) when the horizontal transportation container (10) connected to the flipping platform (100) is in the vertical posture, or the position when the plate-like flipping platform (100) is upright.

[0043] The flipping drive mechanism (300) is the main operating mechanism for the automatic flipping device to achieve the flipping function. It can push the flipping platform (100) to move between the horizontal position and the vertical position, realizing the adjustment of the horizontal and vertical postures of the horizontal transportation container (10). The flipping drive mechanism (300) will be described in combination with more specific embodiments below. The automatic flipping device further includes a control system (900). The control system (900) can be placed in the accommodation cavity of the support chassis (200), below the flipping platform (100), thus making rational use of space and facilitating the electrical connection of the control system (900). At least the flipping drive mechanism (300) is electrically connected to the control system (900). The control system (900) is the control core of the entire device. It can cooperate with corresponding sensors (to be further described later), display information through a hand-held controller, and perform the operation control of various devices during the working processes such as the flipping of the transportation container.

[0044] The main method for flipping the horizontal transportation container (10) using the above automatic flipping device is as follows:

[0045] During the feeding process, the flipping drive mechanism (300) drives the flipping platform (100) to move to the horizontal position, causing the horizontal transportation container (10) to move to the horizontal posture, lifting the upper cylinder assembly, and opening the container;

[0046] The flipping drive mechanism (300) drives the flipping platform (100) to move to the vertical position, flipping the lower cylinder assembly from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture;

[0047] The fuel assembly is hoisted and fixed in cooperation with the W-shaped plate assembly in the lower cylinder assembly;

[0048] The flipping drive mechanism (300) drives the flipping platform (100) to move to the horizontal position, causing the lower cylinder assembly to return to the horizontal posture, and hoisting the upper cylinder assembly to cooperate with the lower cylinder assembly. The feeding is completed. The discharging process is carried out in the same way.

[0049] An automatic flipping device for a horizontal transportation container proposed by the present utility model fixes the horizontal transportation container by setting a flipping platform. By driving the flipping platform to move to the horizontal position through the flipping drive mechanism, the horizontal transportation of fuel can be realized, ensuring the safety of transportation. By driving the flipping platform to move to the vertical position through the flipping drive mechanism, the feeding and discharging of the fuel assembly can be conveniently realized. According to different technological steps, the horizontal transportation container is automatically adjusted to the horizontal or vertical posture, without manual hoisting and manual posture adjustment of the horizontal transportation container, realizing the automatic adjustment of the posture of the horizontal transportation container. The working process is stable and reliable, without damaging the container.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the device further includes a clamping mechanism (700). Legs (11) are provided on the horizontal transportation container (10). There are four legs (11) in total. Two are axially provided on the upper cylinder of the horizontal transportation container (10), and two are axially provided on the lower cylinder of the horizontal transportation container (10). The clamping mechanism (700) is designed according to the shape and size of the legs (11) of the transportation container, and is used to clamp the legs (11) on the lower cylinder of the horizontal transportation container (10), and is used for fixing and clamping during the flipping process of the lower cylinder of the horizontal transportation container (10). The leg (11) is of an approximately U-shaped structure. The leg (11) includes two connecting frames and a stress plate located between the connecting frames. The connecting frame is connected to the horizontal transportation container (10). The clamping mechanism (700) includes at least one horizontal clamping unit. The horizontal clamping unit includes two horizontal clamping parts. The two horizontal clamping parts are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the flipping platform (100). The horizontal clamping part includes a limit block (710) and a limit pressure head (720). The limit block (710) is connected to the flipping platform (100). The two limit blocks (710) are used to respectively abut against the legs (11) of the horizontal transportation container (10) on the radial two sides of the horizontal transportation container (10), such as respectively abutting against the opposite sides of the two connecting frames. The limit pressure head (720) is slidably connected to the limit block (710) to slide in the direction parallel to the flipping platform (100). The limit pressure head (720) is used to press against the leg (11) from the side of the leg (11) facing away from the flipping platform (100), such as pressing on the stress plate of the leg (11), and then limiting the horizontal transportation container (10) in the radial direction of the horizontal transportation container (10). The clamping mechanism (700) further includes at least one vertical clamping part. The vertical clamping part at least includes a corner oil cylinder (730). The corner oil cylinder (730) is used to press against the leg (11) from the side of the leg (11) facing away from the flipping platform (100). The corner oil cylinder (730) is arranged on one side of the stress plate of the leg (11) in the axial direction of the horizontal transportation container (10) and is located between the two connecting frames of the leg (11).

[0051] For the clamping mechanism (700) of the present application, after the horizontal transportation container (10) is placed on the flipping platform (100), the corner oil cylinder (730) is automatically controlled by the control system (900) to achieve rapid clamping of the leg (11). Subsequently, the limit pressure head (720) is manually placed into the side-end limit block (710) to perform lateral limiting on the leg (11), and then the fixing and restraint of the leg (11) or rather the horizontal transportation container (10) are achieved.

[0052] In one embodiment, the flipping drive mechanism (300) includes a first hydraulic cylinder. One end of the first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the support chassis (200), and the other end of the first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the flipping platform (100). The flipping platform (100) is rotatably connected to the support chassis (200). The connection position of the first hydraulic cylinder and the flipping platform (100) is spaced apart from the connection position of the flipping platform (100) and the support chassis (200) in the length direction of the flipping platform (100).

[0053] The flipping platform (100) is rotatably connected or hinged to the support chassis (200). Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, two protruding connection seats (201) are provided on the support chassis (200). The flipping platform (100) is connected through two first angle steels (101) provided at the bottom. The two first angle steels (101) are respectively rotatably connected to the two connection seats (201) through rotating shafts (102). The first hydraulic cylinder can be a double-ear hydraulic cylinder. The number of the first hydraulic cylinders is two. The two first hydraulic cylinders are arranged in the width direction of the flipping platform (100). One end of the first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the connection seat (201), and the other ends of the two first hydraulic cylinders are respectively connected to the flipping platform (100) through two second angle steels (103) provided at the bottom. In some embodiments, a synchronous valve is provided between the first hydraulic cylinders, so as to ensure that the two first hydraulic cylinders can drive the flipping platform (100) to move synchronously, and avoid the problem that the flipping platform (100) tilts to one side.

[0054] The position of the first angle steel (101) is the position close to the bottom end in the length direction of the flipping platform (100), or the position close to the position opposite to the bottom end of the horizontal transportation container (10). The position of the second angle steel (103) is the position close to the top end in the length direction of the flipping platform (100), or the position close to the position opposite to the top end of the horizontal transportation container (10), so as to realize that the connection position of the first hydraulic cylinder and the flipping platform (100) is spaced apart from the connection position of the flipping platform (100) and the support chassis (200) in the length direction of the flipping platform (100), and realize that the force application point of the first hydraulic cylinder on the flipping platform (100) is spaced apart from the rotation point of the flipping platform (100), so as to apply force to the flipping platform (100) to make one side of the top end of the flipping platform (100) move and realize flipping.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 6As shown, the device further includes a bottom platform (400) and a platform driver (500). The bottom platform (400) is movably connected to the end of the flipping platform (100), and the platform driver (500) is connected to the flipping platform (100) and the bottom platform (400). The position of the bottom platform (400) includes a limiting position and a yielding position. When the bottom platform (400) is in the limiting position, the bottom platform (400) forms a preset angle with the flipping platform (100). When the bottom platform (400) is in the yielding position, the bottom platform (400) and the flipping platform (100) are in the same plane. The platform driver (500) is used to drive the bottom platform (400) to move between the limiting position and the yielding position.

[0056] The bottom platform (400) is a small platform with an extended area larger than the bottom area of the horizontal transportation container (10). The bottom platform (400) is an approximately plate-shaped platform. The bottom platform (400) is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the flipping platform (100), or the end of the flipping platform (100) corresponding to the bottom end of the horizontal transportation container (10). The bottom platform (400) and the flipping platform (100) together form a support body in an L-shaped structure. The limiting position of the bottom platform (400) refers to the position where the bottom platform (400) forms a preset angle with the flipping platform (100), and then abuts against the bottom end of the horizontal transportation container (10) to support the bottom end of the horizontal transportation container (10). The preset angle is related to the angle between the bottom surface of the horizontal transportation container (10) and the axis. If the bottom surface of the horizontal transportation container (10) is perpendicular to the axis, the preset angle can be a 90-degree right angle. The yielding position of the bottom platform (400) refers to the position where the bottom platform (400) and the flipping platform (100) are in a straight state, which serves to yield for the horizontal movement of the horizontal transportation container (10) and facilitate the disassembly of each component at the bottom of the horizontal transportation container (10). That is, the bottom platform (400) can achieve an attitude adjustment from 0° to 90°. When the horizontal transportation container (10) is in a horizontal attitude, the bottom platform (400) can be flipped to the yielding position, which is convenient for placing the horizontal transportation container (10) and for the disassembly and assembly of the bottom structure of the horizontal transportation container (10). When the horizontal transportation container (10) needs to be flipped to a vertical attitude, the bottom platform (400) can be flipped to the limiting position, contact and press against the bottom of the horizontal transportation container (10), and realize the support function during the flipping process of the horizontal container.

[0057] A limiting ring (401) can be provided on the bottom platform (400). The shape of the limiting ring (401) is adapted to the bottom contour of the horizontal transportation container (10), so that the bottom end of the horizontal transportation container (10) can be embedded in the limiting ring (401), playing a further limiting role for the horizontal transportation container (10).

[0058] The way to drive the platform driver (500) to move can be various. For example, in one embodiment, the platform driver (500) includes a second hydraulic cylinder. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the tipping platform (100), and the other end of the second hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the bottom platform (400).

[0059] The second hydraulic cylinder can be a double-ear cylinder and can be located between the two first hydraulic cylinders. As Figure 2 shown, two third angle steels (104) are provided at the bottom of the tipping platform (100), and a driving rod (402) is provided on the bottom platform (400). One end of the driving rod (402) is connected to the middle position of the bottom platform (400), and the other end extends towards the tipping platform (100). One end of the second hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the third angle steel (104), and the other end is rotatably connected to the driving rod (402). The second hydraulic cylinder is connected to the aforementioned control system (900).

[0060] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the device further includes a bottom platform stopper (600). The bottom platform stopper (600) is connected to the tipping platform (100). When the bottom platform (400) moves to the limit position, the bottom platform stopper (600) abuts against the bottom platform (400) to limit the continued movement of the bottom platform (400).

[0061] When supporting the horizontal transport container (10), the bottom platform (400) needs to move to the limit position. However, due to mechanical errors and other reasons, the bottom platform (400) may move excessively. The setting of the bottom platform stopper (600) can be used to prevent the bottom platform (400) from returning excessively and damaging the horizontal transport container (10). The bottom platform stopper (600) can be a plate-like structure, connected to the tipping platform (100) and extending towards the bottom platform (400). When the bottom platform (400) moves to the limit position, it will abut against the bottom platform stopper (600) and then cannot move further.

[0062] In one embodiment, a limit groove is provided on the support chassis (200). When the tipping platform (100) is in the vertical position, a part of the tipping platform (100) is embedded in the limit groove. After the tipping action is completed, the tipping platform (100) is fixedly fitted with the predetermined installation position of the support chassis (200), and the tipping platform (100) moves smoothly without shaking during the movement process.

[0063] Another method for tipping the horizontal transport container (10) using the above automatic tipping device is as follows:

[0064] After the horizontal transport container (10) (in a horizontal posture) is transported to the right place, the horizontal transport container (10) is hoisted onto the turning platform (100) of the automatic turning device by a crane, and the clamping mechanism (700) is operated to complete the clamping and positioning of the horizontal transport container (10);

[0065] After being clamped in place, the bottom platform (400) of the flipping platform (100) is flipped to a yielding position by controlling the second hydraulic cylinder, and the upper cylinder assembly of the horizontal transport container (10) is disassembled and lifted away, thereby opening the horizontal transport container (10);

[0066] The bottom platform (400) of the turning platform (100) is turned over to a limit position by controlling the second hydraulic cylinder;

[0067] The turning drive mechanism (300) starts to work, the first hydraulic cylinder pushes upward, drives the turning platform (100) to lift the center of gravity of the horizontal transport container (10), and at the same time realizes the turning from 0 to 90 degrees to achieve a vertical posture;

[0068] After the flipping action is completed, the flipping platform (100) is fixed in cooperation with the limiting groove of the supporting base frame (200), thereby completing the flipping of the transport container.

[0069] After the fuel assembly loading (or unloading) is completed, the overturning drive mechanism (300) starts to work, the first hydraulic cylinder is retracted downward, driving the overturning platform (100) to lower the center of gravity of the horizontal transport container (10), and at the same time realizes the overturning from 90° to 0°, returning to the horizontal posture.

[0070] In one embodiment, the device further comprises: a first in-position sensor and a second in-position sensor, wherein the first in-position sensor and the second in-position sensor are arranged on the supporting base frame (200).
