[0030] In combination with the above, in order to loosen the fastening bolt 3 at different positions, a rotating assembly 5 is installed on the surface of the fixing part 2, the rotating assembly 5 includes a rotating frame 51, a rotating gear ring 52, a rotating gear 53, a transmission shaft 54, a support frame 55, a rotating motor 56, a bevel gear pair 57 and a rotating frame 58.

[0031] The surface of the fixing part 2 is fixed with the rotating frame 51, the surface of the rotating frame 51 is rotatably connected with the rotating gear ring 52, the surface of the rotating gear ring 52 is meshing connected with the rotating gear 53, the inside of the rotating gear 53 is fixed with the transmission shaft 54, the surface of the rotating frame 51 is fixed with the support frame 55, and the transmission shaft 54 is rotatably connected in the inside of the support frame 55, the surface of the support frame 55 is screw connected with the rotating motor 56, the output end of the rotating motor 56 is fixed with the bevel gear pair 57, and the bevel gears of the bevel gear pair 57 are coaxially fixed with the transmission shaft 54, the bottom side surface of the rotating gear ring 52 is fixed with the rotating frame 58, and the rotating frame 58 is fixedly connected with the fixing frame 41.

[0032] The working principle and use process of the utility model: when need to unscrew fastening bolt 3, first start rotating motor 56, drive bevel gear pair 57 to rotate by rotating motor 56, and then drive transmission shaft 54 to rotate in the inside of support frame 55, to drive rotary gear 53 to rotate in turn, rotary gear 53 is connected with rotary gear ring 52, the rotation of rotary gear 53 will make rotary gear ring 52 rotate on rotating frame 51, can drive rotating frame 58 synchronous rotation, through the rotation of rotating frame 58, can drive fixed frame 41 and unscrew bolt sleeve 46 whole surface rotation of fixed part 2 a certain angle, during position sensor 410 will detect the position of fastening bolt 3, once position sensor 410 detects that unscrew bolt sleeve 46 reaches the position of fastening bolt 3, rotating motor 56 will immediately close, to make unscrew bolt sleeve 46 hover in the position above fastening bolt 3, to facilitate the unscrewing operation of fastening bolt 3 in different positions, improve the working flexibility and comprehensiveness of the unscrewing device, effectively avoid the situation that unscrew bolt sleeve 46 and fastening bolt 3 cannot accurately butt joint due to inaccurate positioning, to ensure that every time unscrewing operation can accurately act on corresponding fastening bolt 3, greatly improve the accuracy of unscrewing operation, make the whole unscrewing device can cover all fastening bolt 3 in different positions around fixed part 2, will not appear some bolts are not unscrewed, ensure that all bolts that need to be unscrewed on the whole nuclear power fastener can be operated, complete the unscrewing task comprehensively.

[0033] Further, when the rotating motor 56 is turned off, the electric telescopic rod 412 will automatically start, thereby pulling the pull plate 411 to slide downward along the pull slot inside the fixed frame 41, so as to drive the spline shaft 45 to move downward inside the fixed frame 41, and drive the loosening bolt sleeve 46 to move downward synchronously to approach the surface of the fastening bolt 3. With the continuous downward movement of the loosening bolt sleeve 46, when the loosening bolt sleeve 46 contacts the fastening bolt 3, the pressure plate 49 will be extruded by the head of the fastening bolt 3, thereby compressing the spring 48 to extrude and press the press switch 47 and trigger. When the press switch 47 is triggered by the pressure, it indicates that the loosening bolt sleeve 46 has been completely sleeved on the fastening bolt 3 and tightly clamped on the fastening bolt 3. Then, the electric telescopic rod 412 is immediately controlled to stop working, and the loosening motor 42 is started. The output end of the loosening motor 42 drives the driving gear 43 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 44 to rotate inside the fixed frame 41. Since the driven gear 44 is in spline connection with the spline shaft 45, the rotation of the driven gear 44 will drive the spline shaft 45 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the loosening bolt sleeve 46 sleeved on the fastening bolt 3 to rotate synchronously. With the continuous rotation of the loosening motor 42, the loosening bolt sleeve 46 drives the fastening bolt 3 to loosen, that is, the loosening operation of the fastening bolt 3 is automatically completed. The whole process does not need manual intervention, which not only greatly improves the reliability and stability of the loosening operation, avoids problems such as bolt damage, thread galling caused by uneven or unstable manual force, but also improves the quality and safety of nuclear power equipment maintenance operation, so that the operator can remotely control or monitor in a safe area away from radiation and high temperature, greatly reducing the risk of cell mutation, cancer and other diseases caused by radiation exposure, and the possibility of heat injury such as high temperature scald and heat stroke, thereby effectively protecting the life and health safety of the operator, reducing personnel casualties and long-term health hazards caused by occupational injuries.

[0034] It is worth noting that after the loosening operation of one fastening bolt 3 is completed, the electric telescopic rod 412 is controlled to reset, and then the rotating motor 56 is started again to drive the loosening bolt sleeve 46 and the position sensor 410 to rotate. When the position sensor 410 detects the position of the subsequent fastening bolt 3 again, the above operation can be repeated for loosening operation without manual intervention for switching operation. This efficient and smooth operation mode significantly shortens the loosening time of the fastening bolt 3, especially when a large number of fastening bolts 3 need to be loosened, which can greatly improve the overall work efficiency.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for the person skilled in the art, it still can modify the technical scheme recorded in the foregoing each embodiment, or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
