[0002] Nuclear power plant radioactive waste gas treatment systems and upstream systems contain large amounts of radioactive waste gas, which may include significant quantities of flammable and explosive gases, such as hydrogen-oxygen mixtures. Monitoring gas concentrations in the system relies on sampling and analysis by operating personnel, posing a risk of radiation exposure from contact with radioactive materials. Furthermore, safety purging is required before measuring flammable and explosive gases to avoid the risk of explosion from high concentrations of these gases in confined spaces. Measurement cabinets, which are protective enclosures for electrical or electronic equipment mounted on the platform, are typically used to house electronic components. However, general measurement cabinets are ill-suited for complex application environments, such as continuous vibrations during platform movement, and severe shaking and impacts, especially under adverse weather conditions. This necessitates that the cabinet and its mounting structure possess sufficient strength and vibration damping capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This invention relates to a nuclear power plant radioactive waste gas measurement cabinet in some embodiments, comprising a cabinet body 1, a side shock-absorbing support assembly 2, a bottom shock-absorbing support assembly 3, and a gas measurement and sampling assembly 4.

One end of the sample gas inlet line 44 is connected to the inlet end of the gas sensor 46, and one end of the sample gas outlet line 45 is connected to the outlet end of the gas sensor 46.

[0024] Understandably, the radioactive waste gas measurement cabinet of this nuclear power plant, through its distributed side shock-absorbing support components 2 and bottom shock-absorbing support components 3, can mitigate and absorb some of the impact forces from longitudinal, lateral, and oblique displacements when the cabinet body 1 tilts or sways. This ensures the normal operation of the cabinet body 1 and its internal components, achieving the effect of preventing tilting and swaying and maintaining the normal operation of the device. Furthermore, by setting up nitrogen purging lines 41, tees 42, sample gas inlet lines 43, sample gas outlet lines 44, sample gas outlet lines 45, and gas sensors 46, the measurement cabinet can achieve online real-time sampling of radioactive gases, avoiding the radiation risk from personnel contact with radioactive materials. It also achieves nitrogen purging, preventing the risk of explosion caused by high concentrations of flammable and explosive gases in closed pipelines.

[0025] Specifically, the side vibration damping support assembly 2 includes a side vibration damping fixing block 21 connected to the side wall of the cabinet body 1, a side elastic element 22 connected to the side vibration damping fixing block 21, and a side vibration damping mounting plate 23 connected to the side elastic element 22. The side vibration damping mounting plate 23 can be installed on the wall. The side wall of the cabinet body 1 and the side vibration damping fixing block 21, and the side vibration damping mounting plate 23 and the wall, can be fixed by welding, bolts, rivets, or other connection methods. The side elastic element 22 is a spring.

[0026] The bottom shock-absorbing support assembly 3 includes a bottom shock-absorbing fixing block 31 connected to the bottom of the cabinet body 1, a bottom elastic element 32 connected to the bottom shock-absorbing fixing block 31, and a bottom shock-absorbing mounting plate 33 connected to the bottom elastic element 32.

The bottom of the cabinet body 1 and the bottom shock-absorbing fixing block 31, and the bottom shock-absorbing mounting plate 33 and the ground can be fixed by welding, bolts, rivets, or other connection methods. The bottom elastic element 32 is a spring.

[0027] The nuclear power plant radioactive waste gas measurement cabinet also includes a sampling pump 5, which is connected to both the sample gas inlet pipeline 44 and the sample gas outlet pipeline 45. The sampling pump 5 provides power for the entry and exit of the gas.

[0028] Furthermore, a nitrogen purging control valve 411 is provided on the nitrogen purging line 41, a sample gas inlet control valve 431 is provided on the sample gas inlet line 43, and a sample gas outlet control valve 451 is provided on the sample gas outlet line 45. All of the above control valves can control the opening and closing of the gas flow on the corresponding lines.

[0029] The cabinet body 1 is equipped with a nitrogen purging ferrule interface 11, a sample gas inlet ferrule interface 12, and a sample gas outlet ferrule interface 13. A nitrogen purging line 41 is connected to the nitrogen purging ferrule interface 11, a sample gas inlet line 43 is connected to the sample gas inlet ferrule interface 12, and a sample gas outlet line 45 is connected to the sample gas outlet ferrule interface 13. In this embodiment, the nitrogen purging ferrule interface 11, the sample gas inlet ferrule interface 12, and the sample gas outlet ferrule interface 13 are all located at the bottom of the cabinet body 1. The nitrogen purging line 41, the tee 42, the sample gas inlet line 43, the sample gas inlet line 44, the sample gas outlet line 45, and the gas sensor 46 are all located inside the cabinet body 1. The internal piping of the cabinet body 1 is secured using a dedicated pipe fixing clamp device to ensure tightness and adaptability to vibration and swaying environments.

[0030] The specific working principle of the radioactive waste gas measurement cabinet of the nuclear power plant is as follows: before sampling, the sample gas inlet pipeline 44 and the sample gas outlet pipeline 45 are purged. First, the sample gas inlet control valve 431 is kept closed, while the nitrogen purging control valve 411 and the sample gas outlet control valve 451 are opened. Nitrogen gas enters the nitrogen purging pipeline 41 inside the cabinet body 1 through the nitrogen purging sleeve interface 11, passes through the sample gas inlet pipeline 44 and the gas sensor 46, and is discharged from the sample gas outlet pipeline 45 and the sample gas outlet sleeve interface 13 to avoid the risk of explosion.

[0031] During normal sampling operation, the sample gas inlet control valve 431 and the sample gas outlet control valve 451 are kept open, while the nitrogen purging control valve 411 is closed. The sample gas enters the sample gas inlet pipeline 43 and the sample gas inlet pipeline 44 in the cabinet through the sample gas inlet ferrule interface 12. Powered by the sampling pump 5, the sample gas flows through the gas sensor 46 to test the content of flammable and explosive gases. Subsequently, it flows out of the cabinet body 1 through the sample gas outlet pipeline 45 and the sample gas outlet ferrule interface 13.

[0032] The cabinet body 1 is equipped with a cable interface 14, which is located at the bottom of the cabinet body 1 and is sealed to the outside of the incoming cable.

[0033] The radioactive waste gas measurement cabinet for nuclear power plants includes a signal output module 6 and a power supply module 7. The signal output module 6, power supply module 7, and gas sensor 46 are all electrically connected. The signal output module 6 can output the measurement signal from the gas sensor 46, and the power supply module 7 can supply power to the electrical components of the cabinet body 1.

[0034] The radioactive waste gas measurement cabinet for nuclear power plants also includes a door 8 connected to the cabinet body 1. Sealing strips are used to seal the gaps between the door 8 and the cabinet body 1, as well as between the joints of the cabinet body 1. Understandably, high humidity and salt content in the ambient air can easily lead to corrosion, performance degradation, and short circuits in circuit boards or electronic components. Therefore, in this embodiment, sealing strips are used to seal the gaps between the door 8 and the cabinet body 1, as well as between the joints of the cabinet body 1. These sealing strips can be high-strength sealing strips. By using high-strength sealing strips at the joints and door 8, the salt spray resistance is improved.

[0035] The cabinet body 1 is made of metal, and its outer layer is equipped with a radiation-resistant layer. Understandably, when communication equipment used on the platform generates strong electromagnetic fields, this poses a potential threat to sensitive electronic equipment. The measurement cabinet should provide good electromagnetic shielding to protect the internal equipment from interference. Therefore, the material chosen for the cabinet body 1 is a composite material consisting of a metal shell and a radiation-resistant layer, such as lead or concrete, which has good resistance to radiation. This reduces the impact of radiation on the internal systems of the cabinet body 1 and minimizes electromagnetic interference.

[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.
