[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , which is a quick-connect self-locking device for a nuclear power plant in some embodiments of the present utility model. It includes a fixing member 1 and a connecting member 2 detachably connected to the fixing member 1. The fixing member 1 has a connecting end face 11 disposed close to the connecting member 2 and a free end face 12 disposed away from the connecting end face 11. A plurality of guiding grooves 13 and a plurality of limiting grooves 14 are provided in the fixing member 1, and each guiding groove 13 communicates with the limiting groove 14 and the connecting end face 11. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the limiting groove 14 has a starting end face 141 and a terminating end face 142. The starting end face 141 is correspondingly disposed with the guiding groove 13. The starting end face 141 extends along the circumferential direction of the fixing member 1 to the terminating end face 142 to form the limiting groove 14. The cross-sectional area of the limiting groove 14 gradually increases in the direction from the starting end face 141 towards the terminating end face 142. As Figure 4 shown, the connecting member 2 includes a plurality of elastic snap portions 21. When the fixing member 1 is connected to the connecting member 2, the snap portions 21 pass through the guiding grooves 13 and then abut in the limiting grooves 14, and the snap portions 21 can rotate a preset angle in the limiting grooves 14.
[0031] Understandably, when the fixing member 1 needs to be connected to the connecting member 2, the buckle portion 21 can be aligned with the guiding groove 13. Under the guiding action of the guiding groove 13, the buckle portion 21 enters the limiting groove 14. The buckle portion 21 first enters the starting end face 141 of the limiting groove 14, and then the connecting member 2 is rotated, driving the buckle portion 21 to rotate towards the position of the terminating end face 142 at the same time. At this time, since the cross-sectional area of the limiting groove 14 gradually increases along the direction from the starting end face 141 to the terminating end face 142, and the buckle portion 21 has elasticity, the buckle portion 21 will gradually rebound from the compressed state under the action of the elastic force until it reaches the terminating end face 142. When the buckle portion 21 reaches the terminating end face 142, the free end of the buckle portion 21 will also abut against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 14 at this time, thereby forming the locking of the fixing member 1 and the connecting member 2. When unlocking is required, only by rotating the buckle portion 21 along the direction from the terminating end face 142 to the starting end face 141 and then disengaging it through the guiding groove 13 can the unlocking be achieved. This quick-connection self-locking device for nuclear power plants can ensure the safety and reliability of on-site quick-connection operations, and is easy to carry. It can facilitate on-site quick-connection use, has high flexibility, does not occupy the space of on-site equipment, can be applied to various system interfaces of nuclear power plants, and reduces the industrial safety risks brought by personnel manually taking over pipes and using pipe clamps.
[0032] Wherein, in this embodiment, the number of the limiting grooves 14, the guiding grooves 13, and the buckle portions 21 is three. The three limiting grooves 14 and the guiding grooves 13 are evenly spaced and arranged along the circumferential direction of the fixing member 1, and the three buckle portions 21 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the connecting member 2. In some other embodiments, the number of the limiting grooves 14, the guiding grooves 13, and the buckle portions 21 can be adjusted according to actual situations.
[0033] In addition, in this embodiment, the preset angle is 20°. The rotation direction of the buckle portion 21 in the limiting groove 14 is the clockwise direction, which is defined relative to the direction from the connecting end face 11 towards the free end face 12. That is, after the connecting member 2 is horizontally moved and inserted into the fixing member 1 and then rotated clockwise by 20°, the locking of the fixing member 1 and the connecting member 2 can be completed. In some other embodiments, the preset angle can be set according to actual situations and will not be specifically limited here.
[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the upper part of the starting end face 141 is flush with the upper part of the guiding groove 13. As Figure 3 shown, the upper part of the terminating end face 142 is inclined with the upper part of the guiding groove 13. When the buckle portion 21 reaches the terminating end face 142, the free end of the buckle portion 21 abuts against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 14 at this time. And because the upper part of the terminating end face 142 is inclined with the upper part of the guiding groove 13, the buckle portion 21 cannot move along the axial direction of the fixing member 1.
[0035] Further, the fixing member 1 includes a first connecting segment 15, a second connecting segment 16, and a third connecting segment 17 that are sequentially connected in the direction from the connecting end face 11 towards the free end face 12. The first connecting segment 15, the second connecting segment 16, and the third connecting segment 17 are integrally formed, or the first connecting segment 15, the second connecting segment 16, and the third connecting segment 17 are connected by welding. Additionally, the guiding groove 13 and the limiting groove 14 are provided on the inner wall surface of the first connecting segment 15. The inner diameter of the second connecting segment 16 is smaller than that of the first connecting segment 15, and the inner diameter of the third connecting segment 17 is the same as that of the second connecting segment 16. A plurality of mounting holes 171 are provided on the third connecting segment 17. The third connecting segment 17 is equivalent to the flange of the fixing member 1. The mounting holes 171 can be bolt holes, and the fixing member 1 can be fixedly installed with the on-site system interface of the nuclear power plant through the bolt holes.
[0036] The quick-connect self-locking device of the nuclear power plant further includes a sealing member 3, and the sealing member 3 abuts against the axial end face inside the second connecting segment 16. The sealing member 3 can be a sealing gasket. After the connecting member 2 and the fixing member 1 are locked, the sealing function between the connecting member 2 and the fixing member 1 is realized through the setting of this sealing member 3.
[0037] As Figure 4 shown, the connecting member 2 includes a first retaining segment 22 accommodated inside the first connecting segment 15 and a second retaining segment 23 connected to the first retaining segment 22. The clamping portion 21 is provided on the outer wall surface of the first retaining segment 22. The inner diameter of the second retaining segment 23 is smaller than that of the first retaining segment 22. The outer diameter of the first retaining segment 22 can be the same as the inner diameter of the first connecting segment 15, and the clamping portion 21 is arranged obliquely to the outer wall surface of the first retaining segment 22. The fixed end of the clamping portion 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface of the first retaining segment 22, and the free end of the clamping portion 21 is connected to the outer wall surface of the first retaining segment 22 through an elastic member 24. The elastic member 24 is preferably a spring, and the elastic member 24 provides elastic force for the clamping portion 21.
[0038] In addition, a stepped thread 231 is provided inside the second retaining segment 23, and the stepped thread 231 can be used for connection and matching with the transmission hose.
[0039] Generally speaking, the quick-connect self-locking device of this nuclear power plant utilizes the mutual locking of the fixing part 1 and the connecting part 2, which can realize the addition and use of activated carbon and resin in the instrument resin regeneration tank, resin external cleaning tank, activated carbon filter, anion / cation / mixed ion exchanger, condensate polishing prefrontal cation bed / high-speed mixed bed, and resin regeneration tower in the newly purchased demineralized water production system; hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and ammonia water used in the demineralized water production system, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, ammonia water, and hydrazine used in the condensate polishing system, and sodium hypochlorite and other chemical materials used in the circulating water treatment system are quickly, safely, and firmly connected and transmitted. That is, it can solve the technical problems of leakage, environmental pollution, and the risk of personnel burns caused by manually installing temporary hoses and temporarily fixing them with clamps, and can also solve the technical problem of difficult installation and matching connection of the transfer pipeline for resin transfer and addition work in the demineralized bed. The device is light, simple, practical, and easy to carry, and can be taken at any time as needed. Different sizes and materials of quick-connect devices can be set according to the characteristics of different-sized container interfaces and materials to avoid new pollution caused by the reaction between the materials and the quick-connect devices. At the same time, this device is for special use only to avoid cross-contamination of materials.
