Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a valve device for nuclear power plants. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in CPR1000 series nuclear power plants, the main control operator can only see the command signals indicating the required opening degree of the ARE large and small valves, not the actual opening degree. In the event of a sudden valve failure, the valve opening degree can only be preliminarily judged based on information such as feedwater flow and valve limit. The actual valve opening degree can only be read on-site, increasing the difficulty for operators to diagnose and accurately intervene in unit transient faults. To compensate for these shortcomings, technicians plan to add an independent Fisher 4400 valve position measuring device to the local valve pneumatic actuator. This device will monitor the valve opening degree, with the DCS acquiring 4-20mA valve position signals corresponding to 0%-100% valve opening. The valve position will be displayed on the original system screen, allowing for a direct view of the actual valve opening degree. The Fisher 4400 valve position measuring device, used in conjunction with a magnetic strip, operates on a non-contact magnetic induction measurement principle. The magnetic strip needs to be installed on the valve stem, but there is no dedicated mounting location on the valve stem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The valve body assembly includes a valve base and a valve stem that can move along the axial direction of the valve base.
[0006] The feedback assembly includes a feedback mounting base connected to the valve base and a position feedback device connected to the feedback mounting base, wherein the position feedback device is provided with a sensing slot;
[0007] The connecting assembly includes a connecting base connected to the valve stem, an intermediate connecting piece connected to the connecting base, a magnetic strip mounting plate connected to the intermediate connecting piece, and a magnetic strip connected to the magnetic strip mounting plate.
[0008] As the magnetic strip moves back and forth with the valve stem, the sensing slot senses the positional change of the magnetic strip to detect the movement distance of the valve stem.
[0009] In some embodiments, the connecting base is provided with a plurality of positioning connecting holes, and the intermediate connecting member includes a first intermediate connecting part and a second intermediate connecting part arranged vertically. The first intermediate connecting part is provided with a plurality of intermediate connecting adjustment holes corresponding to the positioning connecting holes.
[0010] In some embodiments, the second intermediate connecting portion is provided with a plurality of intermediate positioning connecting holes, and the magnetic strip mounting plate is provided with a plurality of magnetic strip mounting adjustment holes corresponding to the intermediate positioning connecting holes.
[0011] In some embodiments, both the positioning connection hole and the intermediate positioning connection hole are threaded holes.
[0012] In some embodiments, the magnetic strip mounting plate has magnetic strip positioning holes for mounting the magnetic strip.
[0013] In some embodiments, the connecting base has a valve stem mounting adjustment hole corresponding to the valve stem.
[0014] In some embodiments, the nuclear power plant valve device further includes a limit assembly, which includes a limit mounting bracket, an upper limit switch, a lower limit switch, and a limit sensor.
[0015] The limit mounting bracket is connected to the valve base. The upper limit switch and the lower limit switch are separately mounted on the limit mounting bracket.

[0019] The present invention offers the following advantages: This nuclear power plant valve device fixes the feedback mounting base to the valve base. The position feedback device uses a sensing slot on the sensor in conjunction with a magnetic strip, whose magnetic flux changes with the valve body's position. When the valve opens or closes, the valve stem moves up or down, and the magnetic strip moves accordingly. Because the magnetic flux varies at different positions of the magnetic strip, the position feedback device receives different information, which is then fed back to the DCS (Distributed Control System) based on the actual situation. After processing, the actual valve opening information is obtained. Furthermore, the installation problem of the magnetic strip is solved by setting up a connecting component, and the installation position of the magnetic strip can be adjusted in real time, ensuring optimal positioning and coordination between the magnetic strip and the position feedback device.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a valve device for a nuclear power plant, which includes a main component, a connecting component 2, and a feedback component 3. The main component includes a valve base 11 and a valve stem 12 that can move along the axial direction of the valve base 11; the feedback component 3 includes a feedback mounting base 31 connected to the valve base 11 and a position feedback device 32 connected to the feedback mounting base 31, the position feedback device 32 being provided with a sensing slot; the connecting component 2 includes a connecting base 21 connected to the valve stem 12, an intermediate connecting member 22 connected to the connecting base 21, a magnetic strip mounting plate 23 connected to the intermediate connecting member 22, and a magnetic strip 24 connected to the magnetic strip mounting plate 23; when the magnetic strip 24 moves back and forth with the valve stem 12, the sensing slot senses the position change of the magnetic strip 24 to detect the moving distance of the valve stem 12.
[0029] Understandably, the valve unit in this nuclear power plant fixes the feedback mounting base 31 to the valve base 11, and the sensing slot on the position feedback device 32 engages with the magnetic strip 24. The magnetic flux of the magnetic strip 24 changes with the position of the valve body. When the valve performs an opening / closing action, the valve stem 12 moves up / down, and the magnetic strip 24 moves accordingly. Because the magnetic flux of the magnetic strip 24 varies at different positions, the position feedback device 32 receives different information, which is then fed back to the DCS based on the actual situation. After processing, the actual valve opening information can be obtained. By setting up the connecting component 2, the installation problem of the magnetic strip 24 is solved, and the installation position of the magnetic strip 24 can be adjusted in time, allowing the magnetic strip 24 and the position feedback device 32 to achieve good positioning coordination. Here, the DCS is the control system.
[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting base 21 has multiple positioning connection holes 211. The intermediate connecting member 22 includes a vertically arranged first intermediate connecting part 221 and a second intermediate connecting part 222. The first intermediate connecting part 221 has multiple intermediate connecting adjustment holes 2211 corresponding to the positioning connection holes 211. The intermediate connecting member 22 is an L-shaped component, which can be connected to the connecting base 21 by bolts. The intermediate connecting adjustment holes 2211 facilitate the installation of the intermediate connecting member 22. The second intermediate connecting part 222 has multiple intermediate positioning connection holes 2221, and the magnetic strip mounting plate 23 has multiple magnetic strip mounting adjustment holes 231 corresponding to the intermediate positioning connection holes 2221. The magnetic strip mounting plate 23 can also be connected to the intermediate connecting member 22 by bolts. Both the positioning connection holes 211 and the intermediate positioning connection holes 2221 are threaded holes.
[0031] The connecting base 21 has a valve stem mounting adjustment hole 212 corresponding to the valve stem 12. The valve stem mounting adjustment hole 212 is vertically arranged, and it can be connected to the coupling on the valve stem 12 by screws through the valve stem mounting adjustment hole 212.
[0032] The magnetic strip mounting plate 23 has magnetic strip positioning holes 232 for mounting the magnetic strip 24. The magnetic strip 24 can be installed on the magnetic strip mounting plate 23 with bolts. More specifically, the magnetic strip mounting plate 23 is T-shaped to fit the shape of the magnetic strip 24. The magnetic strip positioning holes 232 are arranged vertically and can be flexibly adjusted when installing the magnetic strip 24.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the nuclear power plant unit also includes a limit assembly 4, which includes a limit mounting bracket 41, an upper limit switch 42, a lower limit switch 43, and a limit sensor 44. The limit mounting bracket 41 is connected to the valve base 11. The upper limit switch 42 and the lower limit switch 43 are separately mounted on the limit mounting bracket 41. The limit sensor 44 is mounted on the connecting base 21 and can move back and forth between the upper limit switch 42 and the lower limit switch 43. The limit sensor 44 can be a round rod. Specifically, the valve stem 12 moves up and down as the valve opens or closes, and the limit sensor 44 moves accordingly. When the valve is fully open, the limit sensor 44 contacts the upper limit switch 42, thereby triggering a fully open signal and realizing information feedback. When the valve is closed, the valve stem 12 moves downward, and the limit sensor 44 moves accordingly. When the valve is fully closed, the limit sensor 44 contacts the lower limit switch 43, thereby triggering a fully open signal and realizing information feedback.
[0034] The limit mounting bracket 41 has a limit switch mounting adjustment hole 411 for mounting the upper limit switch 42 and the lower limit switch 43, and the connecting base 21 has a limit positioning hole 213 for mounting the limit sensing element 44.
[0035] A groove 214 is provided in the middle of the connecting base 21, and the valve stem mounting adjustment hole 212 is provided in the groove 214. The positioning connection hole 211 and the limiting positioning hole 213 are located on both sides of the groove 214. The function of the groove 214 is to ensure that the bolt can be lower than the plane on both sides when the connecting base 21 is installed, thereby ensuring that there is no interference when the intermediate connecting part 22 is installed.
[0036] 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. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the coverage of the claims of the present utility model.
