Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of barrel cake grippers, in particular to a barrel cake gripper for nuclear power plants. Background Art
[0002] After nuclear power plant waste is sorted and barreled, the entire barrel is overpressurized to obtain barrel cakes of a certain size. In order to facilitate the grouting operation of loading the barrel cakes into a 400L steel barrel, a reliable gripper is needed to grab the barrel cakes and place them into the 400L steel barrel.
[0003] The arm is then moved upwards to move the grabber and the grabbed piece up, and the grabber is then moved down again to put the piece into the steel drum. The grabber then releases its grip on the piece and allows the piece to enter the steel drum. Since the grabber is generally fixed to the mounting seat at the bottom of the telescopic arm by means of several bolts and nuts and professional tools, the installation of the grabber is complicated. Moreover, when the grabber fails after working for a long time and needs to replace the parts of the grabber, it is inconvenient to remove the grabber from the telescopic arm to replace the parts of the grabber. This not only brings inconvenience to the disassembly and assembly of the grabber, but also reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0020] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a barrel cake gripper for a nuclear power plant includes a connecting frame 1, a fixed plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 1, and claws 3 are movably connected to the four sides of the fixed plate 2, a linear actuator 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed plate 2, and a servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the linear actuator 4, a movable plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the linear actuator 4, and the movable plate 6 and the claw 3 are movably connected together, a barrel cake state detection sensor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the movable plate 6, and a gripper state detection sensor 8 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the movable plate 6, and a junction box 9 is also provided on one side of the connecting frame 1. The gripping and releasing principle of the gripper composed of the connecting frame 1, fixed plate 2, claws 3, linear actuator 4, servo motor 5, movable plate 6, barrel cake state detection sensor 7 and gripper state detection sensor 8 is as follows:
[0021] When the telescopic arm 10 drives the gripper to descend to the specified position, the barrel cake state detection sensor 7 and the gripper state detection sensor 8 located on the movable disk 6 will detect whether the gripper and the compressed barrel cake are in place. After the gripper and the compressed barrel cake are in place, the servo motor 5 will drive the output end to drive the linear actuator 4 on the top surface of the fixed disk 2 to operate. The output end of the linear actuator 4 will drive the movable disk 6 to move upward or downward. In the process of moving upward, the movable disk 6 will drive the gripper 3 to move inward under the action of the active connection with the gripper 3, and the gripper 3 will flip inward under the action of the active connection with the fixed disk 2. In the process of moving downward, the movable disk 6 will drive the gripper 3 to move outward, and the gripper 3 will flip outward on the fixed disk 2, thereby opening or tightening the gripper 3. When opening, the gripper 3 will release the gripped compressed barrel cake, and when tightening, the gripper 3 will grab the compressed barrel cake.
[0022] The connecting frame 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting seat 11 at the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10 through the connecting mechanism 12 on both sides of the top surface, and the connecting mechanism 12 includes an L-shaped block 17, a concave plate 19, a pressure plate 23, an inserting plate 25 and a screw knob 27. A group of symmetrical L-shaped blocks 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the connecting frame 1, and the concave plate 19 is movably connected between the symmetrical L-shaped blocks 17 through the rotating rods 20 on both sides of the outer wall. The pressure plate 23 is movably connected to the recess of the concave plate 19 through the guide rods 24 on both sides of the top surface, and the inserting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 23, the screw knob 27 is movably connected to the screw hole 22 opened on the top surface of the concave plate 19, and the screw knob 27 is also movably connected to the pressure plate 23 through the rotating block 28 at the bottom end. The connecting mechanism 12 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the gripper on the telescopic arm 10.
[0023] like Figure 2As shown, positioning rods 13 are fixedly installed at the four corner ends of the bottom surface of the mounting seat 11, and a group of symmetrical connecting ports 14 are opened on the bottom surface of the mounting seat 11. The positioning rods 13 opened on the bottom surface of the mounting seat 11 at the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10 can play a positioning role in the installation of the connecting frame 1, and the connecting ports 14 cooperate with the use of the limit ports 16 opened on the connecting frame 1;
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, positioning holes 15 are respectively provided at the four corner ends of the top surface of the connecting frame 1, and the positioning rods 13 are inserted and installed in the positioning holes 15. The top surface of the connecting frame 1 is also provided with a limiting opening 16 corresponding to the connecting opening 14. When installing the gripper, after the positioning rods 13 are inserted into the positioning holes 15 provided on the top surface of the connecting frame 1, the gripper can be positioned and installed on the bottom surface of the mounting seat 11 at the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10, and the limiting opening 16 provided is used to cooperate with the use of the plug plate 25;
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, two sets of symmetrical L-shaped blocks 17 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting frame 1, and a rotation hole 18 is opened on the vertical side wall of the L-shaped block 17. The rotation hole 18 opened in the vertical portion of the L-shaped block 17 allows the rotation rod 20 to realize the rotation operation in the rotation hole 18;
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, rotating rods 20 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of both sides of the outer wall of the concave plate 19, and the rotating rods 20 are movably mounted in the rotating hole 18. A group of symmetrical guide holes 21 are opened on the top surface of the concave plate 19, and screw holes 22 are further opened on the top surface of the concave plate 19 and located between the guide holes 21. When the concave plate 19 is turned over, the rotating rods 20 mounted on the bottom of the outer walls of both sides of the concave plate 19 will rotate in the rotating holes 18. The guide holes 21 opened on the concave plate 19 are used to cooperate with the use of the guide rods 24, and the screw holes 22 opened are used to cooperate with the use of the screw knobs 27.
[0027] like Figure 4As shown, the top surface of the pressure plate 23 is fixedly installed with a guide rod 24, and the guide rod 24 is inserted into the guide hole 21. The top surface of the pressure plate 23 is located on the guide rod 24 and a convex groove 26 is also opened. The insert plate 25 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 23 and inserted into the limit port 16 through the connecting port 14. The screw knob 27 is threadedly connected with the screw hole 22, and the bottom end of the screw knob 27 is fixedly installed with a rotating block 28, which is movably installed in the convex groove 26. The moving screw knob 27 causes the screw knob 27 to realize a threaded rotation operation in the screw hole 22, driving the rotating block 28 at the bottom end to rotate in the convex groove 26 opened on the top surface of the pressure plate 23. Then, the pressure plate 23 is pushed downward by the rotating block 28, and the guide rod 24 on the top surface of the pressure plate 23 will move along the guide hole 21 until the plug plate 25 installed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 23 passes through the limit opening 16 and is inserted into the connecting opening 14, so that the gripper can be quickly installed and fixed to the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10 for use.
[0028] It should be noted that the present invention is a barrel cake gripper for nuclear power plants. When installing the gripper, the positioning rods 13 installed at the four corner ends of the bottom surface of the mounting seat 11 at the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10 are inserted into the positioning holes 15 opened at the four corner ends of the top surface of the connecting frame 1. Then, the concave plates 19 on both sides of the connecting frame 1 are flipped counterclockwise upward. The rotating rods 20 installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the concave plates 19 will rotate the vertical parts of the symmetrical L-shaped blocks 17 installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 1. The screw knob 27 on the top surface of the concave plate 19 is rotated until the concave plate 19 and the connecting frame 1 are in a vertical state and the inserting plate 25 is aligned with the connecting port 14 on the top surface of the mounting seat 11. The screw knob 27 is rotated to realize the threaded rotation operation in the screw hole 22 on the top surface of the concave plate 19 and drive the rotating block 28 installed at the bottom to rotate in the convex groove 26 on the top surface of the pressing plate 23. After the screw knob 27 is continuously rotated, the screw knob 27 will push the pressure plate 23 downward through the rotating block 28, and the guide rod 24 installed on the top surface of the pressure plate 23 will move in the guide hole 21 opened on the top surface of the concave plate 19. The screw knob 27 is continuously rotated until the plug plate 25 installed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 23 passes through the connecting port 14 on the top surface of the mounting seat 11 and is inserted into the limiting port 16 on the top surface of the connecting frame 1. After the screw knob 27 can no longer be rotated, the gripper can be installed and fixed to the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10. When the gripper fails to work and needs to be disassembled for repair or replacement, the screw knob 27 is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the pressure plate 23 to move upward through the rotating block 28, so that the plug plate 25 is removed from the connecting port 14 and the limit port 16. After the screw knob 27 cannot be rotated anymore, the concave plate 19 is flipped clockwise downward, and finally, the gripper can be removed from the bottom end of the telescopic arm 10, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the gripper on the telescopic arm 10 and improving work efficiency.
