Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear equipment installation technology, and in particular to an installation and adjustment tool for large cavity-type parts. Background Technology
[0002] The core shroud-formed plate assembly is a key component of nuclear reactor internals, undertaking important functions such as coolant guidance, heat removal, structural support and positioning, neutron shielding, and thermal stress relief. Its complex structure typically consists of a core shroud and multiple panels with specific geometric shapes, with an overall height exceeding 4 meters and requiring extremely high assembly precision. In existing technologies, the installation and adjustment of the core shroud-formed plate assembly mainly rely on general-purpose tools (such as jacks, shims, and temporary support frames) and manual operation, which suffers from limitations in space, insufficient precision, low efficiency, and safety hazards.
[0003] Furthermore, the adjustment devices mentioned in existing patented technologies are mostly designed for small parts, and their structural rigidity, size adjustment range, and multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment capabilities are insufficient to meet the special requirements of large cavity-type parts. For example, traditional radial adjustment devices cannot achieve a symmetrical ring arrangement within a limited space and lack precise control over circumferential displacement; internal cavity support devices often fail due to insufficient extension range or poor locking stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an installation and adjustment tool specifically for large cavity-type parts to solve the above-mentioned technical pain points, improve assembly efficiency, accuracy, and safety, and meet the high reliability requirements of nuclear equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an installation and adjustment tool for large cavity-type parts. By adopting a specific structure, it can solve the above-mentioned technical pain points, improve assembly efficiency, accuracy and safety, and meet the high reliability requirements of nuclear equipment.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An installation and adjustment tool for a large cavity-type part includes a radial adjustment device and an inner cavity support device.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the end face of the pressure plate is provided with symmetrical locking holes in a ring, and the end face of the flexible gasket is provided with corresponding locking pins. The pressure plate and the flexible gasket are interlocked by the locking holes and locking pins.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the internal cavity support device includes a sleeve rod and a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is inserted into the sleeve rod and is coaxially arranged with the sleeve rod. Limiting holes are provided through the sleeve rod and the telescopic rod.

[0014] 1. Through the coordinated action of the radial adjustment device and the inner cavity support device, the precise adjustment of the enclosure plate-forming plate assembly in the circumferential and radial directions can be achieved, ensuring the accuracy requirements of the inner cavity dimensions between enclosure plates, the gap dimensions between enclosure plates, and the gap dimensions between the enclosure plate and the fuel assembly positioning pin, meeting the millimeter-level assembly tolerance.
[0015] 2.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an installation and adjustment tool for a large cavity-type part includes a radial adjustment device 3 and an inner cavity support device 5. The core component enclosure is assembled from a first enclosure 1 and a second enclosure 2. The first enclosure 1 and the second enclosure 2 are vertically installed on the upper end face of the lower core plate 4. The inner cavity support device 5 is supported between the first enclosure 1 and the second enclosure 2. The radial adjustment device 3 is installed on the lower core plate 4. The radial adjustment device 3 is close to the second enclosure 2 and is arranged in a ring symmetrical arrangement around the axis of the lower core plate 4.
[0028] The first enclosure 1 and the second enclosure 2 are composed of circular, right-angled, zigzag-shaped panels, typically reaching a height of 4011.7 mm. Since the enclosure assembly is installed after the basket body, it is necessary to ensure the internal cavity dimensions between the enclosures, the gap dimensions between the enclosures, and the gap dimensions between the enclosures and the fuel assembly positioning pins. Therefore, the internal cavity support device 5 is needed to support the enclosure assembly to prevent deformation during installation. Then, the radial adjustment device 3 is used to adjust the circumferential direction of the enclosure assembly in a limited space to ensure the installation accuracy of the in-core component enclosures.
[0029] Preferred solutions include Figure 4 As shown, the radial adjustment device 3 includes a base 301, a pin 302 is vertically arranged on the lower end face of the base 301, and a column 303 is vertically arranged on the upper end face of the base 301. The pin 302 is engaged in the water flow hole 401 of the lower core plate 4, and the end of the column 303 is vertically connected to the threaded support rod 304.
[0030] Preferred solutions include Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a threaded sleeve 306 is provided at the end of the column 303. The threaded support rod 304 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 306 and coaxially arranged. A rotating rod 305 is provided at one end of the threaded support rod 304, and the other end of the threaded support rod 304 is perpendicularly connected to the pressure plate 307. A flexible gasket 308 is installed on the other side of the pressure plate 307. A locking hole 3071 is symmetrically opened in an annular shape at the end face of the pressure plate 307, and a locking pin 3081 is correspondingly provided at the end face of the flexible gasket 308. The pressure plate 307 and the flexible gasket 308 are locked together by the locking hole 3071 and the locking pin 3081.
[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the enclosure assembly in the circumferential direction, simply use a wrench or other tools to rotate the rotating rod 305, which in turn drives the threaded support rod 304 to rotate synchronously, causing the threaded support rod 304 to move back and forth in the axial direction. Since the radial adjustment device 3 is located near the second enclosure 2 and is arranged symmetrically in a ring along the circumferential direction, the threaded support rod 304 can push the second enclosure 2 and the first enclosure 1 to move in the circumferential direction, thus enabling the circumferential adjustment function of the enclosure assembly. The pressure plate 307 and flexible gasket 308 provided at the end of the threaded support rod 304 can effectively prevent the device from damaging the inner wall of the enclosure.
[0032] Preferred solutions include Figure 6As shown, the inner cavity support device 5 includes a sleeve rod 501 and a telescopic rod 502. The telescopic rod 502 is inserted into the sleeve rod 501 and is coaxially arranged with the sleeve rod 501. Limiting holes 503 are formed through the sleeve rod 501 and the telescopic rod 502. The limiting holes 503 are equidistantly arranged. After the limiting screw 504 passes through the limiting hole 503, it locks and fixes the position of the sleeve rod 501 and the telescopic rod 502. With the above structure, the overall length of the inner cavity support device 5 can be flexibly adjusted according to the inner diameter of the inner cavity to meet different installation requirements.
[0033] Preferred solutions include Figure 6 As shown, the ends of the sleeve rod 501 and the telescopic rod 502 are movably connected to the snap-fit connector 505, which snaps onto the inner wall of the second enclosure 2.
[0034] Preferred solutions include Figure 7 As shown, the snap-fit connector 505 includes a threaded connector 5051, which is threadedly connected to the ends of the sleeve rod 501 and the telescopic rod 502. The other end of the threaded connector 5051 is provided with a rotating shaft seat 5052. One end of the rotating column 5053 is snapped into the rotating shaft seat 5052 and rotates freely along its own axis. The other end of the rotating column 5053 is perpendicularly connected to the snap-fit protrusion 5054.
[0035] During installation, the length of the device is initially adjusted by using the sleeve rod 501 and the telescopic rod 502. Then, the snap-fit connector 505 can be finely adjusted by rotating the threaded connector 5051, so that the snap-fit protrusion 5054 can be fully snapped into the inner wall of the second enclosure plate 2 to ensure the support effect of the inner cavity support device 5.
