Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical decontamination technology for nuclear power plants, and in particular to an auxiliary device for chemical decontamination of the main pump of a nuclear power plant. Background Technology
[0002] In the operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants, a large amount of radioactive contaminated equipment is generated every year. Most of this equipment is still functional, but it can easily cause personnel contamination. To reduce the negative impact of radioactive contaminated equipment on the operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants, it is necessary to decontaminate this equipment.
[0003] Currently, the main decontamination processes in nuclear power plants are immersion and wiping. After chemical decontamination of components, stains often remain after cleaning, with many hard-to-reach areas that cannot be cleaned. This results in low decontamination coefficients, slow decontamination efficiency, and the generation of large amounts of secondary waste liquid, making deep decontamination of equipment impossible through chemical methods. Laser decontamination technology, with its advantages of high efficiency and non-contact operation, has begun to be applied to nuclear power plants in recent years. However, the dust generated by laser decontamination has not been considered. Due to the special nature of nuclear power plants, the dust generated by laser decontamination is often radioactive. If this dust adheres to workers, it will affect their health. Furthermore, laser decontamination can cause damage and ablation to the equipment surface during the process.
[0004] To address this issue, we propose a chemical decontamination auxiliary device for the main pump of a nuclear power plant. Utility Model Content

[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a chemical decontamination auxiliary device for the main pump of a nuclear power plant, which can achieve a comprehensive cleaning effect. It includes a cleaning mechanism 100, including a movable part 101 disposed on the ground, an air supply part 102 disposed on the top of the movable part 101, a material supply part 103 disposed on the top of the movable part 101, a dry ice crushing part 105 disposed above the movable part 101, and an adjustment part 104 disposed on one side of the dry ice crushing part 105.
[0032] The support mechanism 200 includes a chassis 201 and a protective cover 202 disposed on the chassis 201 and connected to the air supply unit 102.
[0033] Specifically, this device uses dry ice particle spraying, which can quickly and thoroughly remove dirt without damaging the surface of the object being cleaned.

[0040] Furthermore, the crushing tank 105b is connected to the venturi tube 102d via a feed pipe. The crushed dry ice particles enter the venturi tube 102d through the feed pipe and flow along the conveying pipe 102c under the action of high-pressure gas.
[0041] Furthermore, by controlling the installation position of grinding disc 2 105f and adjusting its angle and gap with grinding disc 1 105c, the dry ice particle size can be adjusted.
[0042] During use, the staff adds dry ice to the dry freezer 103a, starts the motor 105d, and opens the pressure reducing valve 102b. The dry ice is crushed into particles by the first grinding disc 105c and the second grinding disc 105f in the crushing tank 105b. The dry ice particles are released from the nozzle 102h by high-pressure gas through the venturi tube 102d. The state of the dry ice at the outlet of the nozzle 102h is carefully observed, and the components to be cleaned are cleaned.
[0043] Example 3, referring to Figure 5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the second embodiment, this embodiment provides a chemical decontamination auxiliary device for the main pump of a nuclear power plant. The adjusting part 104 includes a horizontal bar 104a disposed on one side of the protective box 105a, a limiting sleeve 104b disposed on the outer surface of the horizontal bar 104a, a vertical bar 104c disposed on the front side of the limiting sleeve 104b, a limiting sleeve 2 104d disposed on the outer surface of the vertical bar 104c, and a fixing ring 104e disposed on the front side of the limiting sleeve 2 104d.
[0044] Furthermore, the retaining ring 104e is installed on the delivery pipe 102c and is located on the right side of the hose 102e.
[0045] Specifically, the fixed ring 104e is used to control the conveying pipe 102c and maintain the stability of the conveying pipe 102c.
[0046] The adjustment part 104 also includes a limiting hole 104a-1 provided on the top of the horizontal bar 104a and a limiting hole 104c-1 provided on the back of the vertical bar 104c.
[0047] The adjustment unit 104 also includes a first pin 104b-1 disposed on the first limiting sleeve 104b and adapted to the first limiting hole 104a-1, and a second pin 104d-1 disposed on the second limiting sleeve 104d and adapted to the second limiting hole 104c-1.
[0048] Reference Figure 3 The chassis 201 includes a circular base 201a and a slide rail 201b disposed on the top of the circular base 201a.
[0049] The protective cover 202 includes a glass cover 202a disposed on the slide rail 201b, a reserved groove 202b disposed on the outer surface of the glass cover 202a and adapted to the nozzle 102h, and a sealing ring 202c disposed on the reserved groove 202b.
[0050] Specifically, during use, the operator controls the distance between the support mechanism 200 and the cleaning mechanism 100 by moving the position of the first limiting sleeve 104b on the horizontal bar 104a, and adjusts the angle of the nozzle 102h by moving the position of the second limiting sleeve 104d on the vertical bar 104c. As the moving part 101 rotates around the support mechanism 200, it drives the glass cover 202a to rotate on the slide rail 201b, allowing the nozzle to clean the components to be cleaned from all angles, reducing the generation of cleaning dead corners. The air pressure needs to be adjusted according to the material of the cleaning surface and the degree of cleaning, while the angle of the nozzle 102h is adjusted according to the height, shape, and angle of the cleaning surface. The cleaning status of the dirt on the equipment surface is observed. When the equipment surface is free of dirt and has a metallic luster, the cleaning work is completed.
