Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a curing device, which is mainly used for the treatment of radioactive waste oil liquid. Background Technology
[0002] During normal operation, nuclear power plants generate a certain amount of radioactive waste oil, mainly consisting of insulating oil, lubricating oil, and hydraulic oil. Since nuclear power plants are production and operation units, they generally lack the capacity to process this waste oil and must typically send it for external treatment. Because radioactive waste oil is classified as liquid radioactive waste, it cannot be transported directly and must be converted into a solid (non-dispersed state) before transportation. Therefore, developing a waste oil solidification device is urgently needed by many nuclear power plants.
[0003] An existing patent (application number: CN202410693118.0) discloses a device and method for solidifying radioactive waste oil. The device includes a frame; an adsorption feeding mechanism fixed to the frame for adsorbing and conveying radioactive waste oil; a stirring mechanism fixed to the frame and located on one side of the adsorption feeding mechanism for mixing the radioactive waste oil and a solidifying agent to form a solidified body; a solidification feeding mechanism fixed to the frame and located on one side of the stirring mechanism for conveying the solidifying agent; and a conveying mechanism fixed to the frame and located at one end of the stirring mechanism for conveying the solidified body output by the stirring mechanism to a packaging container. This invention improves the safety of the radioactive waste oil solidification process. However, this device has the problem that radioactive substances such as waste liquid can easily spill out during the solidification and mixing process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a box-type radioactive waste oil solidification device with good sealing performance and high safety and reliability.
[0005] Specifically, it is implemented as follows: a box-type radioactive waste oil solidification device includes a container, an airtight door, a waste oil storage tank, a waste oil weighing bin, a solidifying agent weighing bin, a spiral kneading device, a nitrogen injection device, a conveyor table, and a negative pressure suction machine. The airtight door is installed on the side wall of the container. A combustible material detection device, a pipe connected to an external nitrogen injection system, and a pipe connected to an external negative pressure suction machine are respectively installed on the side wall of the container. The waste oil storage tank is located outside the container and is connected to the internal waste oil weighing bin via a pipe, on which a diaphragm pump is installed. The spiral kneading device inside the container is connected to the internal waste oil weighing bin via a pipe... The container is connected to a weighing hopper for the curing agent. This hopper is equipped with a conveying device and a discharge valve. Another hopper connects to a screw kneading device and a waste oil weighing hopper, and is also equipped with a discharge valve. The top cover of the screw kneading device has a hopper that connects to the outside of the container, and is equipped with a suction device. The bottom of the screw kneading device has a discharge motor and a hopper with a discharge valve. The outlet of the hopper is aligned with the top of the bottom-opening steel drum. The steel drum is mounted on a set of conveyor platforms that extend to the airtight door. An external conveyor platform connects to the outside of the airtight door. Inside the container, near the airtight door, above the conveyor platform, is a capping device.
[0006] Radioactive waste oil from the waste oil storage tank is pumped into the waste oil weighing hopper via a diaphragm pump and quantitatively added to the spiral kneading device. Simultaneously, the curing agent weighing hopper begins quantitatively adding curing agent, which is then added into the spiral kneading device via a transmission device driven by a drive motor. At this time, the suction device is activated to extract and filter out the radioactive aerosols inside the device. Meanwhile, after the waste oil and curing agent mix and react inside the device, the discharge valve at the bottom of the spiral kneading device is activated to discharge the mixture into the steel drum below. Once full, the discharge valve closes, the conveyor is activated, and the steel drum is transferred to the sealing device for sealing. After sealing, the airtight door is opened, and the sealed steel drum is transferred to the conveyor outside the container for transport. Throughout the process, the negative pressure suction machine outside the container is activated to maintain the pressure inside the container at approximately -100Pa to prevent internal gas from escaping. At the same time, the combustible material detection device is activated. If the concentration of combustible materials inside the container is too high, the nitrogen injection system is activated to replace the gas inside the container.
[0007] Furthermore, the spiral kneading device has a conical structure with a rotating device on the outer wall at the bottom. The rotating device is equipped with a liquid receiving tray to prevent the remaining mixture in the collection pipe from falling into the conveyor table after the upper discharge valve is closed.
[0008] Furthermore, the airtight door is equipped with a sliding door device, an opening button, a spare opening button, a closing button, and a spare closing button.
[0009] Furthermore, a weighing sensor is installed on the curing agent weighing chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, a drive motor is installed on the conveyor.
[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor platform is equipped with rotating rollers, a rotating motor, and control switches.
[0012] Furthermore, a stirring motor is installed at the top of the spiral kneading device, which is connected to the internal propeller via a connecting rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the spiral kneading device is equipped with a heating device to control the temperature of the mixed liquid, facilitating curing.
[0014] Furthermore, an iodine adsorption device is installed on the pipe at the outlet end of the suction device and the negative pressure suction machine.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. By simplifying the process of mixing waste oil and solidifying agent and loading it into steel drums, the operational risks can be effectively reduced. There is no high temperature or high pressure operation, which minimizes the possibility of combustion or explosion caused by high temperature and high pressure operation during the treatment process.
[0017] 2. Install a negative pressure suction device to ensure negative pressure inside the chamber and prevent radioactive aerosols from drifting to the outside.
[0018] 3. By solidifying liquid waste oil, the requirements for solid radioactive waste treatment and transportation can be met.
[0019] 4. The device is designed as a sealed container structure, which facilitates sealing management and equipment transportation.
[0020] 5. Installing a liquid receiving device can reduce the amount of mixture remaining in the pipeline falling out after the valve is closed. Attached Figure Description
