Description

Technical Field

[0002] Nuclear power plant precast steel plates are one of the most important materials used in key equipment and structures during nuclear power plant construction. They are primarily made of high-strength steel and typically undergo rigorous processing and quality testing to ensure reliability and safety during nuclear power plant operation. The surfaces of nuclear power plant precast steel plates usually require cleaning to ensure a smooth and defect-free finish. Traditionally, this is done through manual mechanical grinding, which is cumbersome and inefficient when processing precast plates of different shapes.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the underwater laser cleaning device for nuclear power steel plate prefabrication of this utility model includes a worktable 10, an X-axis slide rail 2, a Y-axis slide rail 3, a Z-axis slide rail assembly 5, a liquid tank 9, a cleaning machine 8, a camera 6, a laser processing head 4, a continuous laser and a controller 12.

[0029] The liquid tank 9 is installed on the worktable 10, and the workpiece to be processed is located below the liquid surface in the liquid tank 9. A continuous laser is installed in the worktable 10 to generate a laser beam. The X-axis slide rail 2 and the Y-axis slide rail 3 are installed perpendicularly on the fixed bracket 7, wherein the X-axis slide rail 2 is located below the Y-axis slide rail 3 and fixed on the fixed bracket 7, and the two ends of the Y-axis slide rail 3 are connected to the X-axis slide rail 2. A servo motor is installed inside the Y-axis slide rail 3 to drive the Y-axis slide rail 3 to move in a plane on the X-axis slide rail 2. The Z-axis slide rail assembly 5 and the camera 6 are respectively installed on the Y-axis slide rail 3. The Z-axis slide rail assembly 5 is installed vertically on the Y-axis slide rail 3 and is perpendicular to the liquid tank 9. The camera 6 is aimed at the workpiece to be processed to obtain a pre-formed image of the shape of the workpiece. The controller 12 uses image recognition to determine the cleaning area in the workpiece to be processed. The laser processing head 4 is installed on the Z-axis slide rail assembly 5, and the continuous laser is connected to the laser processing head 4. The controller moves the laser processing head 4 on the X-axis slide rail 2 and the Y-axis slide rail 3 to achieve laser cleaning.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the laser processing head 4 includes a shaping mirror 41, a focusing lens 42, and a protective mirror 43. The shaping mirror 41, focusing lens 42, and protective mirror 43 are located inside the housing of the laser processing head 4. The laser beam generated by the continuous laser is converted into a rectangular beam by the shaping mirror 41. The rectangular beam then passes sequentially through the focusing lens 42 and the protective mirror 43 before exiting the laser head and irradiating the workpiece to be processed. A protective gas inlet pipe 44 is provided on the housing of the laser processing head 4 for introducing protective gas into the housing.

[0031] The Z-axis slide rail assembly 5 is used to adjust the laser focal length and the processing angle of the laser processing head 4, such as... Figure 3As shown, the Z-axis slide rail assembly 5 includes a slide rail 51, a locking bracket 52, and a rotating connector 53. The laser processing head 4 is mounted on the slide rail 51 via the rotating connector 53 and the locking bracket 52. The locking bracket 52 is movably mounted on the Y-axis slide rail 3. The laser processing head 4 moves vertically on the slide rail 51, changing its position and height. The processing angle of the laser processing head 4 is adjusted by rotating the connector 53.

[0032] In the Figure 5 When processing the workpiece shown, place it in the liquid tank 9; as... Figure 4 As shown, the liquid tank 9 includes a water level scale 91, a liquid level sensor 92, a flow meter 93, an inlet 94, and an outlet 95. The outlet 95 of the liquid tank 9 is connected to a cleaning machine 8, and the outlet of the cleaning machine 8 is connected to the inlet 94 of the liquid tank 9 via a pump, achieving water recycling. The liquid level sensor 92 detects whether the liquid level meets the requirement. If the height requirement is not met, a signal is fed back to the controller 12 to increase or decrease the liquid level in the tank. The liquid level sensor 92 is installed on the liquid tank 9 to measure the water level. The flow meter 93 is installed at the outlet of the liquid tank 9 to measure the flow rate. The controller 12 can adjust the pump speed according to the flow rate measured by the flow meter 93.

[0033] The cleaning machine 8 includes a filter and a magnetic iron remover. The filter comprises at least two stages of filter screens, with a magnetic iron remover positioned between the two stages to remove metal particles. In this embodiment, the first-stage filter screen is located in a first filtration unit, and the second-stage filter screen is located in a second filtration unit. A magnetic iron remover is positioned between the first and second filtration units to adsorb metal particles smaller than the first-stage filter screen, preventing clogging of the second filtration unit. The first-stage filter screen has a mesh size of 100-200 mesh, and the second-stage filter screen has a mesh size of 400-500 mesh.

[0034] A controller 12 is installed at one end of the worktable 10. The controller 12 is used to input commands, which are transmitted to the control system inside the worktable 10 to control the processing work performed by the entire processing device. After placing the workpiece to be processed in the liquid tank, adjust the rotating connector 53 to make the laser processing head 4 perpendicular to the workpiece. Figure 5 The surface is processed with an input power of 1500W, a processing speed of 2m / min, a focal length of 25cm, and a processing interval of 1cm. Camera 6 captures images of the workpiece to be processed in the liquid tank 9. Figure 5 The controller 12 recognizes and processes the image, locates the processing boundary, controls the movement of the X-axis slide rail 2 and Y-axis slide rail 3 to position the laser processing head 4 at the processing starting point, and moves the Z-axis slide rail assembly 5 to adjust the laser focal length.

[0035] The nuclear power steel plate prefabrication laser underwater cleaning device of this utility model reduces the heavy manual work and improves cleaning efficiency by using laser underwater cleaning instead of traditional mechanical grinding and cleaning. Furthermore, by using continuous laser underwater cleaning, repeated oxidation is avoided.
