Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas collection technology, and in particular to a Kr-85 gas collection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The radioactive inert gases in nuclear power plant exhaust are mainly isotopes of krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe). These gases are mainly produced by the nuclear fuel fission reaction. When the fuel cladding is damaged or nuclear fuel is leaked, they will be released into the exhaust system. Although inert gases are chemically stable, their radioactivity may affect human health through inhalation or external irradiation. In particular, high-concentration releases require strict monitoring.

[0003] During normal operation of a nuclear power plant, changes in the concentration of the radioactive inert gas krypton-85 in the plant's exhaust gas are monitored to detect early signs of damage to the nuclear fuel cladding.

[0004] In existing technologies, the activity of krypton-85 is measured through processes such as low-temperature enrichment, separation, collection, and detection of waste gas. The collection process typically involves collecting the gas in a low-temperature environment, first into a bottle containing adsorbed silica gel, then injecting scintillation liquid and sealing the bottle. This collection method requires first creating a certain vacuum inside the bottle before injecting purified krypton-85 gas. This method has low collection efficiency and poor repeatability, and cannot meet the requirements for judging changes in krypton-85 concentration.

[0005] The reason for the low collection efficiency and poor repeatability is that the Krypton-85 gas injection tube cannot be inserted close to the adsorbed silica gel. The gas injection tube can only be at the bottle opening; otherwise, when adding scintillation liquid, the gas injection tube opening will be submerged and the tube will freeze in the bottle.

[0006] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the krypton-85 gas concentration detection device in nuclear power plants is how to achieve high collection efficiency and good repeatability. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Kr-85 gas collection mechanism, which solves the problem that the Kr-85 gas injection tube cannot be inserted close to the adsorbed silica gel. This is because the gas injection tube can only be at the bottle opening. Otherwise, when adding scintillation liquid, the gas injection tube opening will be submerged and the tube will be frozen in the bottle.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a Kr-85 gas collection mechanism, including a mounting frame, a lifting assembly, a mounting component, a guide assembly, a gas guiding assembly, and a vacuum assembly. The lifting assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder, a lifting rod, a connecting seat, and a synchronizing seat. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting frame and located outside the mounting frame. There are two lifting rods, each slidably connected to and passing through the hydraulic cylinder.

The synchronizing seat is fixedly connected to the connecting seat and located at the bottom of the synchronizing seat. The mounting assembly and the guide assembly are respectively connected to the synchronizing seat. The gas guiding assembly and the vacuum assembly are respectively connected to the mounting assembly.

[0009] The mounting assembly includes a support rod and a sealing seat. There are two support rods, each fixedly connected to the synchronization seat and located at the bottom of the synchronization seat. The sealing seat is fixedly connected to the support rod and located at the bottom of the support rod.

[0010] The mounting assembly further includes a sealing sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the sealing seat and located on top of the sealing seat.

[0011] The mounting assembly also includes a sealing gasket, which is detachably connected to the sealing seat and located at the bottom of the sealing seat.

[0012] The guiding assembly includes guide sliders and connecting rods. There are two guide sliders, which are slidably connected to the hydraulic cylinder and located outside the hydraulic cylinder. There are also two connecting rods, which are fixedly connected to the guide sliders and located outside the guide sliders.

[0013] The guiding assembly further includes a guiding cylinder and a guiding rod. The guiding cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting rod and passes through the synchronizing seat. The guiding rod is slidably connected to the guiding cylinder and is located at the bottom of the guiding cylinder.

[0014] The guide assembly further includes a clamp, which is fixedly connected to the guide rod and located at the bottom of the guide rod.

[0015] The gas guiding assembly includes an injection pipe and a connecting block. The injection pipe is fixedly connected to the clamp and passes through the clamp. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the injection pipe and is located at the top of the injection pipe.

[0016] The air guiding assembly further includes an air guiding pipe, which is fixedly connected to the connecting block and located outside the connecting block.

[0017] The vacuum assembly includes a vacuum tube and a filling tube. The vacuum tube is fixedly connected to the sealing seat and passes through the sealing seat. The filling tube is fixedly connected to the sealing seat and passes through the sealing seat.

[0018] This utility model discloses a Kr-85 gas collection mechanism. The mounting bracket provides support for the device, the hydraulic cylinder controls the lifting rod, the lifting rod supports the connecting seat, the connecting seat supports the synchronization seat, and the synchronization seat controls the guide assembly. In use, the gas collecting bottle is placed below the sealing seat, and the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to extend the lifting rod, causing the connecting seat and synchronization seat to press down, thereby sealing the gas collecting bottle. After sealing,... An external vacuum device evacuates the gas collecting bottle to a vacuum state through the vacuum tube, injects scintillation liquid into the gas collecting bottle through the injection tube, and then pushes the guide rod to extend through the guide cylinder, causing the clamp and the injection tube to be pressed down, so that the injection tube is pressed into the gas collecting bottle, which facilitates the injection of Kr-85 gas into the gas collecting bottle. This solves the problem that the Kr-85 gas injection tube cannot be extended to a position close to the adsorbed silica gel, because the gas injection tube can only be at the bottle opening. Otherwise, when adding scintillation liquid, the gas injection tube opening will be submerged and the tube will be frozen in the bottle. Attached Figure Description

After sealing, an external vacuum device evacuates the gas collecting bottle to a vacuum state through the vacuum tube 118.

[0032] The system includes two guide sliders 110, which are slidably connected to the hydraulic cylinders 102 and located outside the hydraulic cylinders 102. It also includes two connecting rods 111, which are fixedly connected to the guide sliders 110 and located outside the guide sliders 110.

After sealing, an external vacuum device evacuates the gas collecting bottle to a vacuum state through the vacuum tube 118. Scintillation liquid is injected into the gas collecting bottle through the injection tube 119.
