Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal cutting technology, specifically a thermal cutting device for high-temperature alloy steel used in nuclear power valve bodies. Background Technology
[0002] Nuclear power valves are among the most numerous media transport control devices used in nuclear power plants and are an essential component for the safe operation of nuclear power plants. The materials used in their construction must be those that prevent radioactive contamination, such as high-temperature alloy steel, which has high standard requirements. In the manufacturing process of nuclear power valve bodies, thermal cutting equipment is commonly used to thermally cut high-temperature alloy steel. By melting the material with a high-temperature flame or electric arc, the concentrated heat energy causes the high-temperature alloy steel to melt and fracture, thus completing the material removal.
[0003] Existing thermal cutting devices for high-temperature alloy steel used in nuclear power plant valve bodies are mostly optimized by adding structures to cool the workpiece after thermal cutting, thus increasing overall practicality. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202020886883.1 discloses a thermal cutting device for processing high-temperature alloy steel. This device includes a worktable, a laser cutting gun, and a support rod. When the device is in use, a second electric push rod adjusts the height of the laser cutting gun, a first electric push rod adjusts the left and right position of the laser cutting gun, and a third electric push rod moves the workpiece back and forth, allowing the laser cutting gun to effectively cut the workpiece. After the workpiece is processed, the device returns to its original position, the control valve opens, and gas enters the interior of the fixed rod, thereby pushing the connecting rod to extend out of the water pipe. At this time, the water pipe pushes the support rod inward, allowing gas to enter the interior of the water pipe and causing water to spray out to dissipate heat from the workpiece. Subsequently, a spring drives the device to return to its original position, and the water flows downward along the worktable and the fixed hole, finally entering the interior of the device through the filter tank, thus increasing overall practicality.
[0004] Although the aforementioned thermal cutting device for high-temperature alloy steel used in nuclear power valve bodies has certain advantages in terms of increasing the structure for cooling the workpiece after thermal cutting and improving overall practicality, it still has certain drawbacks: due to the diverse specifications of high-temperature alloys, during thermal cutting, personnel usually manually and slowly push the high-temperature alloy through the thermal cutting blade, allowing concentrated heat to melt and break the high-temperature alloy steel. However, during the process of personnel pushing the high-temperature alloy, it is easy for the entire high-temperature alloy to fail to move synchronously, resulting in errors in the cutting position of the high-temperature alloy and easily causing high-temperature injuries to the personnel's hands. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a high-temperature alloy steel thermal cutting device for nuclear power valve bodies.

[0012] Preferably, the drive motor is provided in two locations, arranged symmetrically in the upper and lower positions, and is respectively connected to the two ends of the hot cutting blade.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom rail is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the platform, and the welding block is provided in two places, which are respectively installed on the bottom end surface of the bottom rail and the outer end surface of the upper rail. The distance between the upper rail and the bottom rail is adjustable, so that high-temperature alloys of different heights can pass through the bottom rail and the upper rail, so that the high-temperature alloys are subjected to upper and lower clamping forces after being placed.
[0015] Preferably, the pulleys are provided in four places and arranged symmetrically in pairs. The pulleys slide in cooperation with the bottom rail and the top rail.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-temperature alloy steel thermal cutting device for nuclear power plant valve bodies, which has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. The high-temperature alloy steel thermal cutting device for nuclear power valve bodies is equipped with a limiting device. By manually rotating the screw, the distance between the bottom rail and the top rail is adjusted, and the high-temperature alloy steel to be cut passes through the inside of the anti-deviation device at both ends and between the bottom rail and the top rail. This allows the high-temperature alloy steel to be pushed only along the direction of the bottom rail and the top rail during the cutting process with the assistance of the anti-deviation device.
[0020] 2. This high-temperature alloy steel thermal cutting device for nuclear power valve bodies features an anti-deviation device. When the hydraulic rod is activated, the rotating ring changes, and the area enclosed by the four clamping rods on their inner sides also changes after tilting. This allows the clamping rods to better hold the high-temperature alloy steel around its outer periphery, providing a stable clamping effect. Then, the servo motor is activated, causing the pulleys to move along the bottom and top rails, thereby moving the high-temperature alloy steel along the limiting device. This eliminates the need for manual pushing during cutting, reducing the risk of injury to personnel. It also ensures a more standard cut of the high-temperature alloy steel during the cutting process, preventing cutting deviation. Attached Figure Description

[0031] In summary, the main power supply of the starting device is activated, and the drive motor 7 is started, causing the hot cutting blade 2 to heat up to a high temperature. With the limit device 3 in place, the operator adjusts the distance between the bottom rail 31 and the upper rail 32 according to the height specifications of the high-temperature alloy steel to be cut. The screw 33 is manually rotated, causing the outer circumference of the screw 33 to engage with the wall of the through-hole of the upper rail 32, allowing the upper rail 32 to move up and down along the screw 33. The high-temperature alloy steel to be cut is then passed through the anti-deviation device 4 at both ends, passing between the bottom rail 31 and the upper rail 32. This ensures that during the cutting process, the high-temperature alloy steel is pushed only along the direction of the bottom rail 31 and the upper rail 32 with the assistance of the anti-deviation device 4. As the high-temperature alloy steel is gradually pushed, it is cut by the hot cutting blade 2 through high-temperature electrofusion. The anti-deviation device 4, when... After the high-temperature alloy steel passes through the through-hole q2, the hydraulic rod 47 is activated, causing the rotating ring q3 to rotate during its extension and retraction. The fixed block q6 rotates along the rotating ring q3 and changes position. One end of the clamping rod q5 moves with the fixed block q6, flexibly connecting the flexible joint q4 and the through-post q1, which assists the clamping rod q5 in tilting. After the four clamping rods q5 tilt, the area enclosed by their inner sides also changes, making it easier for the clamping rods q5 to better clamp the outer periphery of the high-temperature alloy steel, thus playing a stable clamping role. Then, the servo motor 44 is activated, causing the pulley 43 to move along the bottom rail 31 and the upper rail 32, thereby driving the high-temperature alloy steel to move along the limiting device 3. No manual pushing is required for cutting, reducing the risk of injury to personnel. It also makes the cutting of the high-temperature alloy steel more standard during the cutting process and avoids cutting deviation.
