[0023] Please refer to Figure 1The utility model discloses a nuclear power station pipeline internal radioactive deposit removal device for removing the radioactive deposit in the nuclear power station pipeline to be cleaned, which can include static closed room 1, high pressure flushing mechanism 2 and waste treatment mechanism 3. High pressure flushing mechanism 2 includes water storage container 21, water delivery pipeline 22 and spray head 23, both ends of water delivery pipeline 22 are connected to water storage container 21 and spray head 23 respectively, spray head 23 is used to clean the radioactive deposit by extending into the nuclear power station pipeline to be cleaned through the opening, and the nozzle of spray head 23 is arranged towards water delivery pipeline 22; static closed room 1 is used to prevent the radioactive water and water mist flowing out of the opening from spreading into the external environment when spray head 23 cleans the radioactive deposit in the nuclear power station pipeline to be cleaned; waste treatment mechanism 3 is used to collect the waste flushed out by high pressure flushing mechanism 2.
[0024] Specifically, since the wastewater containing radioactive substances is extremely harmful to human health, production and life, in the embodiment, static closed room 1 is adopted to prevent the radioactive water and water mist flowing out of the opening of the pipeline from spreading into the external environment. The outer wall of the static closed room 1 can be made of lead material, and lead shielding is to reduce the influence of rays on the human body or objects by using the characteristics of high density and strong absorption of rays of lead. The use of lead material as the outer wall of the static closed room 1 can prevent the rays generated by the radioactive deposit during the flushing process from being emitted to the external environment and causing adverse effects on the human body. The static closed room 1 is specifically arranged at the opening position of the pipeline to prevent the radioactive water and water mist from spreading into the external environment. The water storage container 21 is used to provide water source for the spray head 23, and the spray head 23 can be a high-pressure water spray head. When the spray head 23 flushes in the pipeline, since the nozzle of the spray head 23 is arranged towards the water delivery pipeline 22, the high-pressure water reaction force can be used to pull the spray head 23 and part of the water delivery pipeline 22 located in the pipeline to move in the pipeline towards the water delivery pipeline 22 towards the spray head 23, that is, the nozzle of the spray head 23 sprays water from left to right. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the reverse jet high-pressure water decontamination technology is used in the nuclear power station pipeline internal radioactive deposit removal device, high-pressure water is used to impact and remove the radioactive deposit and attachments inside the pipeline, and the radioactive wastewater after flushing is flushed to the collection port by liquid flow to avoid the radioactive wastewater from spreading to the outside of the working area during the flushing process. In addition, the waste treatment mechanism 3 can collect the waste flushed out, which can be discharged to the nuclear power plant radioactive wastewater treatment system for treatment subsequently.
[0025] Understandably, the nuclear power plant pipeline radioactive deposit removal device utilizes the arrangement of the static closed chamber 1 to prevent radioactive water and water mist flowing out of the pipeline opening from spreading to the external environment, thereby avoiding the spread of radioactive substances to the external environment and causing harm to the human body. Meanwhile, the high-pressure flushing mechanism 2 is arranged to clean the radioactive deposits in the pipeline, and the nozzle of the spray head 23 is arranged towards the water delivery pipeline 22. The spray head 23 can be moved in the pipeline towards the water delivery pipeline 22 by the high-pressure water reaction force, that is, the high-pressure water is sprayed in the opposite direction to flush the inside of the pipeline and remove the radioactive deposits on the inner wall of the pipeline. The water delivery pipeline 22 can be used to pull the spray head 23, thereby improving the convenience of the flushing operation. Meanwhile, the waste treatment mechanism 3 is arranged to treat the waste flushed out by the high-pressure flushing mechanism 2. The nuclear power plant pipeline radioactive deposit removal device solves the problem of high environmental dose caused by radioactive deposits in the pipeline of the nuclear power plant, reduces the radioactive environmental dose of the nuclear power plant, thereby reducing the radiation exposure dose of the on-site workers and facilitating the control of the radioactive dose of the nuclear power plant.
[0026] In some embodiments, the static closed chamber 1 is connected with a filtering exhaust fan 11, which can form a negative pressure environment in the static closed chamber 1 and filter and discharge the air in the static closed chamber 1. The filtering exhaust fan 11 can be a high-efficiency filtering exhaust fan. The air sucked in can pass through a filtering section, and the harmful substances such as dust and particulate matter are filtered out by the filter. The air passing through the filtering section is continuously blown out by the fan and discharged through the air outlet, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the air.
[0027] The water delivery pipeline 22 is provided with a high-pressure pump 26 for providing power for the water delivery from the water storage container 21 to the spray head 23. The water delivery pipeline 22 is also provided with a water delivery control switch 24 for controlling the on-off of the water delivery from the water storage container 21 to the spray head 23. The water delivery control switch 24 can be a water delivery control electromagnetic valve or a water delivery control manual valve.
[0028] Further, the nuclear power plant pipeline radioactive deposit removal device also includes a partition 4 arranged on the side of the pipeline of the nuclear power plant that does not need to be flushed. The partition 4 is specifically installed on the side of the pipeline that does not need to be flushed, specifically the other side of the pipeline opposite to the side provided with the spray head 23. The partition 4 is used to isolate the side of the pipeline that does not need to be flushed, thereby preventing the radioactive waste water flushed out from entering the other section of the pipeline and causing pollution expansion. The partition 4 can be a partition inflatable air bag. The partition inflatable air bag is inflated to block the side of the pipeline that needs to be flushed, thereby ensuring the sealing between the partition inflatable air bag and the pipeline.
[0029] The high-pressure flushing mechanism 2 further comprises a fall-preventing net 25 connected to the water delivery pipeline 22 at a side close to the spray head 23, and the fall-preventing net 25 covers the outside of the spray head 23. Understandably, the spray head 23 and the water delivery pipeline 22 are connected by threads or quick connectors, and there is a risk of falling and causing foreign matter, so the fall-preventing net 25 is arranged at the side of the water delivery pipeline 22 close to the spray head 23, when the spray head 23 and the water delivery pipeline 22 are disconnected due to defects, water is sprayed from the gap of the fall-preventing net 25, and the spray head 23 is blocked by the fall-preventing net 25 and stays in the fall-preventing net 25, so that no foreign matter is formed in the pipeline.
[0030] The waste treatment mechanism 3 comprises a waste collection pipeline 31 and a waste collector 32, one end of the waste collection pipeline 31 is located in the pipeline, the other end of the waste collection pipeline 31 is connected to the waste collector 32, and a waste collection pump 33 is arranged on the waste collection pipeline 31. The waste collection pump 33 can be a diaphragm pump, which mainly functions to change the flow of fluid by power operation, receives a control signal output by a control unit, and operates by means of a power source such as air, an electric device or a liquid medium, so as to change the flow of fluid, and the working principle is that compressed air enters a gas distribution valve to push the diaphragm in the cavity to move, so that the medium is continuously sucked from the inlet and discharged from the outlet. Specifically, in the flushing process, the waste flushed out is collected and pumped into the waste collector 32 by the diaphragm pump, and then discharged to a radioactive waste water treatment system of the nuclear power plant for treatment.
[0031] In addition, the water delivery pipeline 22 and the waste collection pipeline 31 are both connecting hoses, which can be made of plastic materials, and the plastic materials can be PVC materials, which have good acid resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength and durability.
[0032] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application; it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present application, and some modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application; therefore, any equivalent transformation and modification within the scope of the claims of the present application shall belong to the scope of the claims of the present application.
