Of course, the first roller 142 can also adopt other drive structures, which are not specifically limited here.
[0038] In some embodiments, the outer surfaces of the first roller 142 and / or the second roller 152 are textured to increase the friction between the first roller 142 and / or the second roller 152 and the valve body 100. Under the action of the friction between the first roller 142 and / or the second roller 152 and the valve body 100, the valve body 100 rotates, thereby driving the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 to rotate.
[0039] In some embodiments, both the first caster wheel 11 and the second caster wheel 21 include swivel wheels, and the swivel wheels are equipped with brakes to facilitate parking in a suitable position.
[0040] The application of the nuclear power plant valve stem extraction and testing device is as follows: The valve body 100 is placed on the first support assembly 14 and the second support assembly 15 of the frame 10, and then the valve body 100 is transported to a low-radiation area for operation. During the extraction and testing of the nuclear power plant valve stem 200, the limiting rod 40 on the first support seat 17 and the limiting member 50 on the second support seat 23 are first installed. Then, the drive mechanism 30 is activated. Under the drive of the drive mechanism 30, the support frame 20 is moved closer to or away from the frame 10. During this process, the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 is extracted or reinstalled. When the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 is extracted, i.e., when the support frame 20 is pulled out, the surface of the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 can be manually inspected for defects such as wear, scratches, and corrosion. In addition, the straightness of the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 can be measured. First, the limiting rod 40 on the first support seat 17 and the limiting piece 50 on the second support seat 23 are removed. The first roller 142 rotates to drive the valve body 100 to rotate, which in turn drives the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 to rotate. During this process, the laser rangefinder 60 simultaneously measures the height of each point on several cross sections of the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 when it is irradiated by the laser. Data collected by the laser rangefinder 60 at several different times are collected to calculate the straightness. Compared with traditional manual operation, measurement and calculation, it saves manpower and can measure the straightness of the nuclear power plant valve stem 200 more accurately and efficiently.
[0041] This nuclear power plant valve stem extraction and testing device can realize the transfer of valve body 100 of nuclear power plant valves, especially large gate valves, and the extraction and installation of valve stem 200. It can effectively shorten the time that workers stay in high-dose areas, thereby reducing the radiation dose to personnel. It can greatly reduce personnel safety risks while improving the maintenance efficiency of nuclear power plant valves, especially large gate valves.
[0042] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent.
