TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to nuclear power technology field especially relates to a nuclear power plant swing check valve valve position measuring device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Check valve is a kind of one-way fluid valve, its main function is to prevent fluid reverse flow, i.e. only allow fluid to flow in one direction, prevent fluid backflow. The working principle of check valve is to use the pressure difference of fluid to control the opening and closing of valve clack, when fluid flows in the predetermined direction, fluid pressure pushes away valve clack, and makes valve open;When fluid flows reversely, valve clack closes under the action of fluid pressure and its own gravity (or spring force), and prevents fluid backflow. Check valve can be divided into lift check valve, swing check valve, disc check valve, ball check valve, diaphragm check valve and other types according to different structure and working principle.
[0003] Swing check valve is a widely used check valve type, its valve clack is connected with valve arm, and can rotate a certain angle around valve shaft, when fluid in pipeline flows in the specified direction, the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of valve clack is greater than the opening force of valve clack, valve clack will be pushed away from valve seat, and valve is in open state;When the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of valve clack decreases to a certain time, valve clack falls, and valve is in closed state;When fluid flows reversely, outlet side pressure of valve clack is greater than inlet side, and the pressure difference tightly presses valve clack on valve seat, and fluid cannot pass through valve.
[0004] Based on transient flow angle analysis, check valve closes too fast, which will cause the pressure in pipe system to suddenly rise, and will produce great pressure impact on valve body;When check valve closes slowly, the impact of backflow water at the end of valve closing stage will produce high water hammer. Therefore, the opening and closing performance of check valve is crucial to the safety of valve and pipe system.
[0005] The current method for measuring the operating state of check valve mainly includes two types: 1, judging the operating state of check valve by measuring the fluid state of pipe system, 2, judging the valve state by measuring the valve rod thrust.
[0006] The first method for measuring the fluid state of pipe system generally needs to measure at least valve front pressure, valve rear pressure, fluid flow rate and other fluid state quantities, this method generally needs to be considered in the design stage of pipe system, and pressure and flow sensor are arranged at corresponding positions of pipe system, such as valve state monitoring through subsequent pipe system modification, pipe modification design needs to be carried out again, and the work amount is large.
[0007] Method two measures the valve stem thrust force, as described in the patent "a slow closing check valve and slow closing check valve monitoring system" (publication number: CN 107489795), through the lower plate first pressure sensor arranged on the valve stem, detects whether the lower spring can generate enough thrust on the lower plate, judges the state of the check valve, this method is the design of the slow closing mechanism and valve position monitoring system of the lifting type check valve, this method is not applicable to the swing check valve, and this patent is a design optimization of the check valve, only through the replacement of the entire valve to realize the monitoring of the check valve position, which cannot be realized by optimizing and reforming the existing valve.

[0033] As Figure 1As shown, the nuclear power plant swing check valve 100 is composed of a valve body 101, a valve cover 102, a valve seat 103, a valve disc 104, a valve arm 105, a pin shaft 106, etc. When the fluid in the pipeline flows in the designated direction, a pressure difference is generated in front and back of the valve disc 104, and when the pressure difference is greater than the opening force of the valve disc 104, the valve disc 104 is opened and drives the valve arm 105 and the pin shaft 106 to rotate; when the fluid velocity decreases or the direction of flow changes, the force of the fluid acting on the valve disc 104 is less than the weight of the valve disc 104 and the valve arm 105, so that the valve disc 104 falls back to the valve seat 103 and the valve is closed. In the process of opening and closing the valve, the pin shaft 106 rotates together with the valve disc 104 and the valve arm 105, so that a set of nuclear power plant swing check valve position measuring device closely matched with the pin shaft 106 is installed at the pin shaft 106, so as to measure the rotation angle of the valve disc 104, and then the valve opening degree can be judged.
[0034] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 The utility model discloses a kind of nuclear power plant swing check valve position measuring device, it includes installation component 10, at least one inclination sensor 20, at least one level 30.
[0035] The installation component 10 can be detachably installed on the pin shaft of the nuclear power plant swing check valve, and the installation component 10 includes a mounting seat 11 and a fastener 12. The mounting seat 11 includes opposite upper and lower surfaces 111 and 112.

The fastener 12 is connected to the mounting seat 11 and used to fix the mounting seat 11 to the pin shaft 106 of the nuclear power plant swing check valve 100.
[0036] The inclination sensor 20 is installed on the upper surface 111 and can be detachably connected, such as by bolts or screws. The inclination sensor 20 is a measurement sensor based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) technology. It measures the angle between the gravity vector of the sensor and the Earth's gravitational field, achieving angle measurement of the pin shaft 106. Of course, other types of inclination sensors can also be selected according to actual needs, which are not limited here.
[0037] The level 30 is installed on the upper surface 111. The level 30 serves as an auxiliary device during installation, ensuring that the inclination sensor 20 is installed horizontally.
[0038] As Figure 3As shown, the mounting seat 11 is made of brass, which is softer than the pin shaft 106 and other components, and is less likely to cause wear to the pin shaft 106 and other components.
