For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. When an element is referred to as being "above" or "below" another element, the element can be "directly" or "indirectly" located above the other element, or there may also be one or more intermediate elements. The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only for the convenience of describing the technical solution and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", "third", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] In the following description, for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are presented to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present utility model. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present utility model can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, the detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present utility model.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1 to 9, the present utility model shows a leak detection device for ventilation pipes in a nuclear power plant, which includes a telescopic assembly 10. The telescopic assembly 10 includes multiple telescopic rods 11. The telescopic rods 11 can be in a round rod structure. The inner cavity of each telescopic rod 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the next telescopic rod 11. Two adjacent telescopic rods 11 are fixed through an adjustment structure 20 to adjust the overall length of the telescopic assembly 10. When the telescopic assembly 10 is in a fully extended state, the length dimension is between 2 meters and 5 meters. When the telescopic assembly 10 is in a fully extended state, the length dimension is between 1 meter and 2 meters. Of course, the telescopic length of the telescopic assembly 10 can be adjusted according to requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0033] Further, a leak detection storage barrel 30 for storing leak detection liquid is provided on the first telescopic rod 11, and a leak detection liquid syringe 40 connected to the leak detection storage barrel 30. Here, the first telescopic rod 11 can be the telescopic rod 11 with the largest outer diameter or diameter dimension.

[0034] The leak detection liquid syringe 40 is connected with a liquid injection pipe 50. One end of the liquid injection pipe 50 away from the leak detection liquid syringe 40 is fixed on the last telescopic rod 11 to send the leak detection liquid to the air duct connection. Using the leak detection liquid syringe 40 to spray the leak detection liquid from the nozzle of the liquid injection pipe 50 onto the air duct connection can well solve the problem of inaccessibility, timely detect the air duct air leakage phenomenon, and is conducive to timely detecting hidden defects of the air duct without introducing external risks to the safe operation of relevant equipment in the nuclear power plant, having good practical value.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8, in some embodiments, the adjusting structure 20 includes a locking cap 21 which is axially movably sleeved on the connection part of two adjacent telescopic rods 11. A locking segment 22 is arranged inside the locking cap 21. The locking cap 21 can be generally cylindrical, and an internal thread can be provided on the inner wall surface of the locking cap 21. An external thread can be provided on the outer circumference of the telescopic rod 11 with a larger outer diameter among two adjacent telescopic rods 11. The external thread cooperates with the internal thread, so that the locking cap 21 can be installed on the telescopic rod 11 and can be adjusted along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 11. A first inclined surface is provided on the inner side of the end wall of the locking cap 21. The number of the locking segments 22 can be two. The shape of each locking segment 22 is generally arc-shaped. A second inclined surface is provided on some parts of each locking segment 22 facing the end wall of the locking cap 21. When the locking cap 21 axially presses the locking segment 22, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface press against each other, so that the locking segment 22 locks the telescopic rod 11 with a smaller outer diameter in the radial direction. Of course, in some embodiments, the locking segment 22 can be made of a silicone rubber ring or a rubber ring. When the locking cap 21 axially presses the locking segment 22, the locking segment 22 deforms and radially presses the locking cap 21 and the telescopic rod 11 with a smaller outer diameter, so that the two telescopic rods 11 are relatively fixed.

[0036] Of course, in some embodiments, the adjusting structure 20 can also adopt a snap-locking structure, which is not specifically limited here.

[0037] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, a fixing bracket 60 is installed on each telescopic rod 11. The liquid injection pipe 50 is connected to the fixing bracket 60, which can improve the connection stability of the liquid injection pipe 50. The liquid injection pipe 50 can include but is not limited to a silicone hose. The liquid injection pipe 50 can be connected to the liquid outlet of the leak detection liquid syringe 40 through a quick connector.

[0038] In some embodiments, the fixing bracket 60 is detachably connected to the telescopic rod 11. Further, each fixing bracket 60 includes a first semi-ring body 61 and a second semi-ring body 62 for sleeving on the telescopic rod 11. First connecting ears 611 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first semi-ring body 61, and second connecting ears 621 are respectively arranged at both ends of the second semi-ring body 62. The first connecting ears 611 and the second connecting ears 621 are connected by a first fastener. The first fastener includes but is not limited to bolts or screws.

[0039] A columnar part 63 is provided on the first semi-ring body 61 and / or the second semi-ring body 62, and a limiting hole 631 for the liquid injection pipe 50 to pass through is provided on the columnar part 63.

[0040] Refer to Figure 4, in some embodiments, a check valve 41 is provided at one end of the inner cavity of the leak detection liquid syringe 40 near the liquid outlet to prevent the reverse flow of the leak detection liquid.

[0041] Preferably, the number of the telescopic rods 11 is at least four. The telescopic rods 11 can be solid tubes or hollow tubes, and the telescopic rods 11 can be metal rods, such as stainless steel tubes, aluminum alloy tubes, etc.

[0042] For another example Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the leak detection storage barrel 30 is connected to the first telescopic rod 11 through a connection assembly 70.

[0043] Wherein, the connection assembly 70 includes a third half-ring body 71 and a fourth half-ring body 72 for sleeving on the telescopic rod 11. Third connection ears 711 are respectively provided at both ends of the third half-ring body 71, and fourth connection ears 721 are respectively provided at both ends of the fourth half-ring body 72. The third connection ears 711 and the fourth connection ears 721 are connected by a second fastener, and the second fastener includes but is not limited to bolts or screws. The leak detection storage barrel 30 is fixedly connected to the third half-ring body 71 or the fourth half-ring body 72.

[0044] It can be understood that the above embodiments only represent the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present invention; it should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can also be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention; therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope covered by the claims of the present invention.
