[0002] The normal operation of a nuclear power plant requires the precise coordination of many systems and equipment. Among them, the circulating water filtration system provides the final cooling source. Its function is to purify seawater through filtration and other means, and then supply it to other systems and equipment in the nuclear power plant for cooling, preventing accidents such as equipment burnout and reactor core nuclear fuel burnout. It can be said that the circulating water filtration system is one of the most important safety guarantees of a nuclear power plant. According to design specifications, the requirements of the Nuclear Safety Administration, and relevant laws and regulations, the alarm signals in the circulating water filtration system need to be verified at specified time intervals to ensure that it can complete the designed automatic actions.

This is challenging and risky because the equipment is located near the sea and at a high elevation. For example, there is a risk of falls or accidental contact, or the need to maintain the limit switches for extended periods can lead to signal interruptions due to the difficulty of maintaining the signal manually.

[0027] In the following embodiments, the front and back of the alarm simulation device for the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system are: the end closer to the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system is the front, and the end farther away from the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system is the back.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides an alarm simulation device for a nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system, including a support mechanism and a direction adjustment mechanism and an alarm triggering mechanism connected sequentially from bottom to top on the support mechanism. The alarm triggering mechanism includes a hollow robotic arm 9, a pull rod 8 partially extending into the robotic arm 9, a connecting rod 12 placed in the robotic arm 9, and a triggering component 10 located at the front end of the robotic arm 9. The middle part of the pull rod 8 is hinged to the robotic arm 9. One end of the pull rod 8 inside the robotic arm 9 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 12. The other end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the triggering component 10. The alarm triggering mechanism triggers the alarm signal of the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system by pulling the pull rod 8 backward, which in turn pushes the triggering component 10 forward. The end of the pull rod 8 protruding from the robotic arm 9 is provided with an anti-slip pattern for easy operation.
[0030] In some embodiments, the support mechanism includes a support rod 1 and a support platform 2 connected to the support rod 1; the end of the support rod 1 that contacts the ground is conical; the support rod 1 is a telescopic support rod. The support mechanism includes three support rods 1, each of which can be independently adjusted in length to adapt to different terrains; the ends of the support rods 1 converge to form a conical shape for anti-slip purposes.
[0031] In some embodiments, the direction adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal adjustment mechanism and a vertical adjustment mechanism.
[0032] Furthermore, the horizontal adjustment mechanism includes a base 3 connected to the support mechanism, a horizontal rotating shaft 5, and a horizontal fixing knob 4 located on the side of the base. The base 3 has a groove that matches the size of the horizontal rotating shaft 5. The horizontal rotating shaft 5 is placed in the groove and is movably connected to the base 3. The horizontal fixing knob 4 is screwed into the base 3 and abuts against the side of the horizontal rotating shaft 5 to fix the horizontal rotating shaft 5. The horizontal rotating shaft 5 has a cylindrical structure. The horizontal fixing knob 4 has an anti-slip pattern for easy operation. Specifically, when the horizontal rotating shaft 5 is inserted into the groove, an appropriate amount of high-viscosity damping grease is added to provide suitable damping force. The horizontal fixing knob 4 is screwed in from the side of the base and abuts against the side of the horizontal rotating shaft 5 to achieve the fixing effect. Furthermore, the horizontal fixing knob 4 can be divided into two parts: a knob and a screw. The screw is located inside the base. After the knob is screwed into the base, one end of the knob abuts against the end of the screw, and the internal screw is screwed in until the other end of the screw abuts against the side of the horizontal rotating shaft 5, thus achieving the fixing operation.
[0033] Furthermore, the vertical adjustment mechanism includes a vertical adjustment shaft 6 connected to the horizontal rotating shaft 5, and a vertical fixing knob 7 connecting the horizontal rotating shaft 5 and the vertical adjustment shaft 6; the upper surface of the vertical adjustment shaft 6 is connected to the lower surface of the robotic arm 9. The vertical fixing knob 7 has an anti-slip pattern for easy operation. The vertical adjustment shaft 6 and the robotic arm 9 are fixedly connected, and the two can be integrally machined. The contact surfaces of the horizontal rotating shaft 5 and the vertical adjustment shaft 6 are provided with an anti-slip pattern, providing sufficient friction when the vertical fixing knob 7 is tightened to achieve the fixing purpose.
[0034] In some embodiments, the robotic arm 9 has a cylindrical structure, and the upper surface of the robotic arm 9 has a hole adapted to the pull rod 8; the end of the robotic arm 9 is connected to a counterweight assembly 11, wherein the end of the robotic arm 9 is the rear end of the robotic arm 9, and the weight of the counterweight assembly 11 is sufficient to make the robotic arm 9 reach a balanced state; the trigger assembly 10 is a structure that matches the limit switch of the alarm of the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system; the surface of the trigger assembly 10 is provided with a rubber layer or a plastic layer; further, the trigger assembly 10 is a fork.
[0035] All of the rotating components are provided with appropriate damping for easy adjustment.
[0036] When using the alarm simulation device for the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system of this utility model, first adjust the three telescopic support rods 1 to a suitable length and angle, and place them stably on the ground at an appropriate distance from the corresponding limit switch of the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system. Loosen the horizontal fixing knob 4, rotate the horizontal shaft 5 on the base 3 to make the horizontal direction of the robotic arm 9 appropriate, tighten the horizontal fixing knob 4, loosen the vertical fixing knob 7, and adjust the vertical adjustment shaft 6 to make the height of the robotic arm 9 appropriate. At this time, the trigger component 10 is close to the corresponding limit switch of the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system. Tighten the vertical fixing knob 7. At this time, the device has been adjusted. According to the instruction, manually pull the lever 8 backward. The trigger component 10 of the device will extend forward and push the corresponding limit switch of the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system to trigger the corresponding alarm signal. Continue to pull backward until it is confirmed that the automatic operation of the nuclear power plant circulating water filtration system has been completed. Then push the lever 8 forward to reset the trigger component 10. During the process, whether pulling backward, pushing forward, or maintaining the position of the lever, all operations are manually controlled to ensure that the signal triggering can be controlled at any time. Depending on the actual situation on site, this process will not take long, as the torque adjustment of lever 8 requires relatively little force to operate, which can be completed manually. After completing the work, the alarm simulation device for the nuclear power plant's circulating water filtration system is removed. The triggering component 10 is a fork.
[0037] 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 with respect to the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
