Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a defect identification device for drum mesh sheets, belonging to the field of nuclear power drum mesh monitoring technology. Background Technology
[0002] In nuclear power plant cooling systems, drum filters are used in conjunction with upstream trash racks to intercept suspended and floating debris larger than 3mm in diameter in seawater. The debris is carried to the surface and then flushed away through backwashing lines to ensure the normal operation of downstream equipment. With diameters exceeding 20m, drum filters are rotating filtration devices with mesh panels mounted on the circumference of a drum-shaped frame. Water enters the drum filter from the outer circumference, is filtered by the mesh, and then flows out along one side of the filter. When foreign objects in the water source clog the mesh panels, it reduces the cooling water flow rate of the nuclear power plant. When the cooling water flow rate drops to a safe limit, it triggers an emergency shutdown of the nuclear power plant, affecting its safe operation. Furthermore, the mesh panels typically operate in seawater with high salinity, and the influence of water flow makes them susceptible to structural corrosion and damage, affecting the filtration capacity of the drum filters and allowing oversized foreign objects to enter the cooling water pipes, threatening the safe operation of critical cooling equipment in the nuclear power plant. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly monitor the mesh of the nuclear power plant's grid to ensure that the mesh is not blocked or structurally damaged.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN117011257A discloses a method, system, and computer equipment for detecting the mesh of a nuclear power plant's drum mesh. The method includes: acquiring full-coverage images of the mesh using an array camera while the drum mesh rotates, obtaining multiple local images of the mesh in both the axial and circumferential directions; processing each local image to identify the mesh hole contours and marking the positions of the corresponding mesh holes in the local image based on the contours; registering and fusing the multiple local images in both the axial and circumferential directions to obtain a spliced image of the mesh; calculating the area of each mesh hole in the spliced image and determining whether the mesh holes are abnormal based on the calculated areas. Implementing this utility model reduces labor intensity and operational risks, while also achieving higher accuracy and ensuring the safe operation of the nuclear power plant's cooling equipment. However, in the existing technology, because the equipment is located in a semi-enclosed indoor space with no strong lighting and is relatively dark, and there is also a lot of water vapor, it affects the accuracy of mesh recognition.

[0047] The lifting assembly 11 includes a fixed tube 111, a telescopic rod 112, and a connecting rod 113. Both the fixed tube 111 and the telescopic rod 112 are vertically arranged. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 112 is inserted into the fixed tube 111, and the telescopic rod 112 is slidably connected to the fixed tube 111. The telescopic rod 112 is locked to the fixed rod by a first screw 114. One end of the connecting rod 113 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 112, and the other end of the connecting rod 113 is inserted into a rotating rod 116. The rotating rod 116 is parallel to the lighting lamp 3, and the rotating rod 116 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 113. The rotating rod 116 is locked to the connecting rod 113 by a second screw 115. The two lighting lamps 3 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating rod 116 respectively.
[0048] The support assembly 12 includes a support rod 121, one end of which is rotatably connected to the lighting lamp 3, and the other end of which is provided with a first locking member 122. The support rod 121 is connected to the railing 4 through the first locking member 122.
[0049] The first locking member 122 includes two locking strips 1221, which together form a ring. One of the locking strips 1221 is fixedly mounted on the support rod 121, and the two locking strips 1221 are locked together by a third screw 1222.
[0050] The image acquisition mechanism 2 includes a support plate 21. A second locking member 22 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 21. The support plate 21 is connected to the railing 4 through the second locking member 22. A movable module 23 is provided at the top of the support plate 21. A guide rod 24 is provided on the movable part of the movable module 23. The guide rod 24 is arranged vertically. A lifting ring 25 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 24.

[0052] The image acquisition mechanism 2 also includes a movable base 28, on which an industrial control computer 281 and a display screen 282 are mounted;
[0053] Working principle:
[0054] Fix the fixed pipe 111 to the railing 4 of the pump room. After adjusting the depth of the telescopic rod 112 inserted into the fixed pipe 111, tighten the first screw 114 to fix the telescopic rod 112 to the fixed pipe 111. Then, rotate the rotating rod 116 on the connecting rod 113 and tighten the second screw 115 to lock the rotating rod 116 and the connecting rod 113, thereby adjusting the lighting angle of the lighting lamp 3. Next, fix one end of the support rod 121 to the railing 4 through the first locking member 122. That is, after the two locking strips 1221 surround the railing 4, lock them with the third screw 1222 to fix the support rod 121 to the railing 4. In this way, the lighting lamp 3 is fixed to the railing 4.
[0055] The camera 27 acquires image information of the mesh, and the lamp tube 32 is lit to generate light and act on the mesh, improving the image acquisition accuracy. The camera 27, light source, lens and image acquisition card are selected according to the size, pixel accuracy and working distance of the mesh to be inspected. The industrial control computer 281 with reasonable configuration is selected according to the image size, number of units and detection speed requirements. The industrial control computer 281 is a general term for a tool that uses a bus structure to detect and control the production process and electromechanical equipment and process equipment. The detection data is displayed on the display screen 282.
[0056] In addition, when the motor 233 is started, the lead screw 231 is rotated, which drives the slider 232 to move horizontally. The movement of the slider 232 drives the guide rod 24 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the camera 27 to move horizontally. After the fourth screw 26 is loosened, the lifting ring 25 is raised and lowered on the guide rod 24, which realizes the adjustment of the position of the camera 27. At the same time, the camera 27 is rotatably connected to the lifting ring 25, which facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the camera 27.
[0057] When the drum mesh defect identification device is finished and needs to be stored, remove the fixing tube 111 and support rod 121 from the railing 4, and pull the telescopic rod 112 out from the fixing tube 111. At the same time, separate the support rod 121 from the lighting lamp 3. Then, rotate the two lighting lamps 3 around the rotating rod 116 and make the plane sides of the two lighting lamps 3 fit together. After fitting together, the two lighting lamps 3 form a cylinder, and the two slots 33 form an annular groove. Then, put the elastic retaining ring 34 into the annular groove to fix the two lighting lamps 3. In this way, the lamp tube 32 is protected.
[0058] In summary, when acquiring image information from the mesh, the light tube 32 is lit to generate light and act on the mesh, thereby improving the image acquisition accuracy. In addition, during the storage process, the two lighting lamps 3 are attached to each other on their flat sides and fixed by the retaining ring 34, which protects the lamp tube 32 and improves the protection.
[0059] In addition to the above embodiments, this utility model also includes other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent substitution should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
