[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific embodiments.

[0032] During nuclear loop flushing, in order to drain the pressure vessel while avoiding damage to its inner surface, this embodiment of the invention provides a drainage device, which includes a support frame 1, a water pump 2, and a drain pipe 3. The support frame 1 includes a support member 11, which can be hoisted onto the equipment to be drained. The water pump 2 is disposed within the support frame 1. One end of the drain pipe 3 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 2, and the other end of the drain pipe 3 extends to the outside of the support frame 1.

[0033] In detail, the water pump 2 is placed inside the support frame 1, and the support frame 1 is equipped with a support member 11 that can be hoisted onto the pressure vessel. When it is necessary to drain the pressure vessel, the drainage device is lifted by a crane and then slowly placed inside the pressure vessel. It is then hoisted onto the pressure vessel by the support member 11, thereby suspending the water pump 2 inside the pressure vessel. The water pump 2 can be remotely started to drain the water from the pressure vessel through the drain pipe 3. This drainage device, by placing the water pump 2 inside the support frame 1 and suspending it onto the pressure vessel by the support member 11, ensures that the water pump 2 is firmly and reliably fixed during the drainage process, and that the water pump 2 will not cause any bumps or scratches to the inner surface of the pressure vessel when it is placed inside.

[0034] In this embodiment, the water pump 2 is a submersible pump, which has a compact structure, small size and light weight, making it easy to install and maintain. At the same time, the submersible pump is highly efficient and energy-saving during operation and runs smoothly.

[0035] Furthermore, a filter screen 4 is provided at the water inlet of the water pump 2. The filter screen 4 can filter the water entering the water pump 2, prevent solid particles or debris from entering the water pump 2, protect the internal components of the pump body from damage, extend the service life of the water pump 2, and thus ensure the normal operation of the drainage device.

[0036] Furthermore, the support frame 1 also includes a base plate 12 and a connecting rod 13. The two ends of the connecting rod 13 are respectively connected to the base plate 12 and the support member 11, and the water pump 2 is mounted on the base plate 12. In this embodiment, the support frame 1 is provided with a base plate 12 and a connecting rod 13. The base plate 12 is connected to the support member 11 through the connecting rod 13, and the water pump 2 is placed on the base plate 12 for support. The water pump 2 is then suspended on the pressure vessel through the support member 11, thereby suspending the water pump 2 inside the pressure vessel to achieve drainage of the pressure vessel.

[0037] Optionally, the connecting rod 13 is welded to the base plate 12; and / or, the connecting rod 13 is welded to the support member 11. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 13 and the base plate 12, and the connecting rod 13 and the support member 11 are both welded together, resulting in high strength and good sealing at the connection, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the support frame 1 structure.

[0038] Furthermore, the water pump 2 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the base plate 12 is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole. The fastening assembly 5 fixes the water pump 2 to the base plate 12 through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. Using the fastening assembly 5 to fix the water pump 2 to the base plate 12 is convenient and facilitates the installation and maintenance of the water pump 2. Optionally, in this embodiment, the fastening assembly 5 uses a bolt and a nut that mates with the bolt. One end of the bolt passes through the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole, and the nut is screwed onto the other end of the bolt and abuts against the water pump 2. Using a bolt and nut facilitates installation and is highly practical.

[0039] Furthermore, four first mounting holes are provided, located at the four corners of the base of the water pump 2. Correspondingly, four second mounting holes and four fastening components 5 are provided. The four fastening components 5 fix the water pump 2 to the base plate 12, ensuring that the water pump 2 is subjected to uniform force and is securely and reliably installed.

[0040] Furthermore, multiple connecting rods 13 are provided, and the multiple connecting rods 13 are spaced apart on the base plate 12. In this embodiment, the base plate 12 has a square structure, and four connecting rods 13 are provided. The four connecting rods 13 are located at the four corners of the base plate 12, and the four connecting rods 13 connect the base plate 12 and the support member 11, which improves the reliability of the connection between the base plate 12 and the support member 11, and thus improves the stability of the entire support frame 1 structure.

[0041] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 13 is circular. By setting the cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 13 to be circular, and consequently, the peripheral wall of the connecting rod 13 being an arc surface, the arc surface can prevent the connecting rod 13 from causing scratches or impacts to the inner surface of the pressure vessel when it collides with the inner surface of the pressure vessel during the placement of the drainage device inside the pressure vessel. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 13 can also be elliptical; this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0042] Furthermore, the support member 11 includes a short sidewall 111 and two long sidewalls 112. The two long sidewalls 112 are parallel and spaced apart at both ends of the short sidewall 111. The end of the connecting rod 13 away from the base plate 12 is connected to the long sidewall 112. The long sidewall 112 is used to connect to the drainage equipment. Specifically, in this embodiment, two short sidewalls 111 are provided, which are parallel and spaced apart between the two long sidewalls 112. Both ends of the short sidewalls 111 are connected to the two long sidewalls 112. The two long sidewalls 112 and the two short sidewalls 111 form a ladder-shaped structure. The end of the connecting rod 13 away from the base plate 12 is connected to the long sidewall 112. Both ends of the two long sidewalls 112 extend outward from the outside of the two short sidewalls 111. The outside of the two long sidewalls 112 are suspended on the pressure vessel, thereby realizing the suspension of the water pump 2.

[0043] The following details the specific process of placing the drainage device provided in this embodiment of the invention inside the pressure vessel: First, the water pump 2 is placed on the base plate 12, and the base plate 12 is fixedly connected to the water pump 2 with bolts and nuts. A filter screen 4 is installed at the inlet end of the water pump 2, and a drain pipe 3 is installed at the outlet end, extending to the outside of the support frame 1. Then, the entire drainage device is lifted by a lifting machine and slowly lowered into the pressure vessel. The support member 11 is supported on the pressure vessel and secured with sleepers. The water pump 2 is suspended inside the pressure vessel. Finally, the water pump 2 is remotely started, and the water in the pressure vessel is discharged through the drain pipe 3. After drainage is completed, the drainage device is lifted out of the pressure vessel. During the drainage process, the water pump 2 in the drainage device is installed stably and securely, and the lowering and lifting process of the water pump 2 will not cause any bumps or scratches to the inner surface of the pressure vessel.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
