Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear fuel element manufacturing technology, specifically to a dual-station fluidization tube and gas distributor extraction device. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), as representative of fourth-generation nuclear energy systems, possess inherent safety as their core advantage. This characteristic relies on the design of silicon carbide (SiC) coated particle fuel. Each fuel particle consists of a uranium dioxide core and multiple layers of pyrolytic carbon and silicon carbide, which can confine fission products within the particle under accident conditions. However, the preparation of this fuel involves complex processes, among which the processing of graphite components and graphite tubes becomes a key factor restricting production efficiency and safety.
[0003] Graphite components need to be disassembled and replaced in high-temperature environments. Manual operation requires waiting for the furnace to cool to room temperature, extending the production cycle. Graphite components (such as fluidizing tubes and gas distributors) require manual hoisting at high temperatures (≥400℃), which not only poses a risk of burns but also exposes personnel to graphite dust that may harm their health. Furthermore, residual radioactive materials on the surface of graphite components increase the difficulty of radiation protection. Manual operation relies on experience, and insufficient positioning accuracy of graphite components may affect the stability of subsequent coating processes. Additionally, manually transferring graphite tubes is prone to impact damage, reducing material utilization. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-station fluidizing tube and gas distributor extraction device to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A dual-station fluidized tube and gas distributor extraction device includes a fixed frame, a horizontal drive mechanism, and a lifting assembly. The fixed frame is provided with a horizontal movement space and a dual-station rotation assembly. The horizontal drive mechanism drives the lifting assembly to move horizontally within the horizontal movement space. The two temporary storage fixtures of the dual-station rotation assembly are used to accommodate the extracted fluidized tube or gas distributor.
[0007] The lifting assembly includes a bracket, a primary lifting drive mechanism, a primary lifting slide rail, a lifting frame, a secondary lifting drive mechanism, a secondary lifting slide rail, and a multi-stage telescopic arm. The bracket is horizontally slidably fitted with a fixed frame. The primary lifting drive mechanism and the primary lifting slide rail are mounted on the bracket. The primary lifting drive mechanism drives the lifting frame to move up and down along the primary lifting slide rail. The secondary lifting drive mechanism and the secondary lifting slide rail are mounted on the lifting frame. The secondary lifting drive mechanism drives the multi-stage telescopic arm to move up and down along the secondary lifting slide rail. The lower end of the multi-stage telescopic arm is provided with a fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and a gas distributor suction cup. The gas distributor suction cup is located below the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism.
[0008] In this technical solution, the horizontal drive mechanism enables horizontal driving of the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a multi-stage telescopic arm, the lower end of which is equipped with a fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and a gas distributor suction cup. This simultaneously enables the horizontal movement of the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup, facilitating the horizontal alignment step. Since the two temporary storage fixtures of the dual-station rotary assembly are used to accommodate the extracted fluidizing tube or gas distributor, they facilitate temporary storage of the fluidizing tube and gas distributor during the transfer step. Because the furnace body is located deep underground and the fluidizing tube is relatively high, the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup need sufficient vertical lifting stroke to extract the fluidizing tube and gas distributor located inside the furnace body. In this technical solution, a primary lifting mechanism drives the lifting frame to move up and down along the primary lifting slide rail, achieving primary lifting. A secondary lifting mechanism drives the multi-stage telescopic arm to move up and down along the secondary lifting slide rail, achieving secondary lifting. This allows the overall height of the multi-stage telescopic arm to achieve two levels of lifting, thus controlling its height position. In addition, the multi-stage telescopic arm itself also has a telescopic function, which can further adjust the height position of the extraction action based on the aforementioned two levels of lifting. This allows the fluidized tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup to successfully extract the fluidized tube and gas distributor from the furnace body, and then transfer the extracted fluidized tube and gas distributor to the temporary storage fixture through the aforementioned lifting action and horizontal movement steps.
[0009] In summary, this technical solution, by controlling the horizontal movement of the lifting components and combining multi-stage lifting with multi-stage telescopic arms, can extract fluidized pipes and gas distributors that are deep below ground level in the furnace and transfer them smoothly to temporary storage fixtures, thus solving a series of problems existing in the manual hoisting of graphite parts (such as fluidized pipes and gas distributors) in high-temperature environments.
[0010] Furthermore, to facilitate the switching of the position of the temporary storage fixtures, the dual-station rotary assembly includes a rotary drive device, a chassis, and two temporary storage fixtures. The rotary drive device drives the chassis to rotate, and the two temporary storage fixtures are mounted on the chassis. The rotary drive device is a rotary cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixed frame is provided with a bottom space to facilitate the entry of the RGV trolley, and multiple bottom positioning female seats are provided in the middle of the bottom of the fixed frame. The bottom positioning female seats are positioned with the lifting mechanism on the RGV trolley, and the RGV trolley moves between the furnace body and the cleaning device.
[0012] In practice, after the fluidizing tube and gas distributor are transferred from the furnace body to the temporary storage fixture, the RGV trolley enters the bottom space. The lifting mechanism on the RGV trolley is positioned with the bottom positioning base, and the lifting mechanism raises the entire device. The RGV trolley then moves the entire device to the cleaning device, where the fluidizing tube and gas distributor are transferred for cleaning. After cleaning, the same steps are repeated to move the entire device closer to the furnace body, and then the cleaned fluidizing tube and gas distributor are placed back into the furnace body. The position transfer of the fluidizing tube and gas distributor in the above steps is achieved through the aforementioned horizontal and vertical movements.
[0013] The lower end of the fixed frame is provided with multiple support legs, and the lower end of each support leg is provided with a support leg positioning female seat. The support leg positioning female seat is docked and positioned with the support leg positioning male seat at the corresponding position on the ground, which can ensure a stable state during the extraction and transfer steps of the fluidizing tube and gas distributor.
[0014] Furthermore, in order to increase the lifting space, the upper end of the bracket extends beyond the upper end of the fixed frame, and the lower end of the bracket extends to a position close to the bottom of the horizontal movement space.
[0015] Furthermore, due to the complex structure of the lifting assembly, involving multi-stage lifting control, in order to ensure the smoothness and synchronization of the overall horizontal movement of the lifting assembly, the horizontal drive mechanism includes a first motor, a first vertical transmission rod, and a second vertical transmission rod. The first motor drives the main synchronous pulleys on the first and second vertical transmission rods to rotate via a main synchronous belt. The upper and lower ends of the first and second vertical transmission rods are respectively provided with an upper rear synchronous pulley and a lower rear synchronous pulley. The fixed frame is provided with an upper front synchronous pulley and a lower front synchronous pulley. An upper synchronous belt is provided between the upper rear synchronous pulley and the upper front synchronous pulley, and a lower synchronous belt is provided between the lower rear synchronous pulley and the lower front synchronous pulley. The fixed frame is provided with a lower horizontal slide rail, and the lower end of the bracket is slidably engaged with the lower horizontal slide rail. The lower end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the lower synchronous belt. The bracket is provided with a fixed seat, and the fixed seat is slidably engaged with the upper horizontal slide rail at the upper end of the fixed frame. The position of the bracket near the fixed seat is fixedly connected to the upper synchronous belt.
[0016] The lower horizontal slide rail is located inside the horizontal movement space, below the first vertical transmission rod and the second vertical transmission rod.
[0017] Furthermore, in order to better control the lifting of the support frame, the primary lifting drive mechanism includes a second motor, a gear and a vertical rack. The second motor drives the gear to rotate, and the vertical rack is mounted on the lifting frame. The gear meshes with the vertical rack.
[0018] Furthermore, to better control the lifting of the multi-stage telescopic boom, the secondary lifting drive mechanism includes a third motor, a lead screw, a lead screw nut, and a connecting seat. The third motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the lead screw nut is fixedly connected to the connecting seat, the lead screw and lead screw nut are threaded together, and the connecting seat is slidably connected to the secondary lifting slide rail. The connecting seat is equipped with a hollow rotating platform, which drives the multi-stage telescopic boom to rotate. After the gas distributor's suction cup grips the gas distributor, the hollow rotating platform drives the multi-stage telescopic boom to rotate, which can loosen the gas distributor and separate it.
[0019] Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the fluidizing tube, the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism includes a hollow shaft and multiple friction plates. From top to bottom, the hollow shaft is provided with an upper mounting seat, an upper fixing ring, a lower mounting seat, and a lower fixing ring. Multiple cylinders are circumferentially and evenly arranged on the upper and lower mounting seats. A sliding seat is slidably connected to the hollow shaft, located above the upper mounting seat. Multiple connecting arms and hinge positions are circumferentially and evenly arranged, with the hinge positions intersecting the connecting arms. The upper ends of the piston rods of the cylinders are connected to the corresponding connecting arms. A first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a third connecting rod are rotatably connected to the friction plates in the vertical direction. The other end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the hinge position, the other end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the upper fixing ring, and the other end of the third connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lower fixing ring.
[0020] In order to improve the stability of the fluidized tube extraction state, the lower end of the first-stage arm of the multi-stage telescopic arm is provided with a fluidized tube positioning component. The outer side wall of the fluidized tube positioning component is inclined, and the lower end of the fluidized tube positioning component is connected to the upper end of the fluidized tube to achieve positioning of the fluidized tube.
[0021] Furthermore, in order to ensure the synchronous winding and unwinding of the pipeline during the extraction process, a winding device is also included. The winding device is used to wind up the pipeline of the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup. The hollow shaft is connected to the interior of the multi-stage telescopic arm. The lower end of the hollow shaft is provided with a pipeline inlet, and the gas distributor suction cup is located at the lower end of the hollow shaft.
[0022] Furthermore, in order to better achieve adsorption of the gas distributor, the gas distributor suction cup has an outer surface that fits against the inner wall of the gas distributor, the lower end of the gas distributor suction cup is a suction port, and the upper end of the gas distributor suction cup has a vacuum tube interface.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this technical solution, the horizontal drive mechanism can achieve horizontal drive of the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a multi-stage telescopic arm, and the lower end of the multi-stage telescopic arm is equipped with a fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and a gas distributor suction cup. This simultaneously enables the horizontal movement of the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup, facilitating the horizontal alignment step. Since the two temporary storage fixtures of the dual-station rotary assembly are used to accommodate the extracted fluidizing tube or gas distributor, it facilitates the temporary storage of the fluidizing tube and gas distributor during the transfer step. Because the furnace body is located deep underground and the fluidizing tube is relatively high, the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup need to have sufficient vertical lifting stroke to lift the fluidizing tube and gas distributor located inside the furnace body. In this technical solution, the lifting frame is driven to move up and down along the first-level lifting slide rail by the first-level lifting drive mechanism, thus achieving first-level lifting. The multi-stage telescopic arm is driven to move up and down along the second-level lifting slide rail by the second-level lifting drive mechanism, thus achieving second-level lifting. This allows the overall height position of the multi-stage telescopic arm to achieve two-level lifting, thereby controlling the height position of the multi-stage telescopic arm. In addition, the multi-stage telescopic arm itself also has a telescopic function, which can further adjust the height position of the extraction action based on the aforementioned two-level lifting. This allows the fluidized tube positioning mechanism and the gas distributor suction cup to successfully extract the fluidized tube and gas distributor from the furnace body, and then transfer the extracted fluidized tube and gas distributor to the temporary storage fixture through the aforementioned lifting action and horizontal movement steps.
[0024] In summary, this technical solution, by controlling the horizontal movement of the lifting components and combining multi-stage lifting with multi-stage telescopic arms, can extract fluidized pipes and gas distributors that are deep below ground level in the furnace and transfer them smoothly to temporary storage fixtures, thus solving a series of problems existing in the manual hoisting of graphite parts (such as fluidized pipes and gas distributors) in high-temperature environments.

[0038] Example 1:
[0039] like Figures 1-11 As shown, this embodiment provides a dual-station fluidized tube and gas distributor extraction device, including a fixed frame 1, a horizontal drive mechanism and a lifting assembly. The fixed frame 1 is provided with a horizontal moving space 2 and a dual-station rotating assembly 3. The horizontal moving space 2 is a channel formed in the middle of the fixed frame 1. The horizontal drive mechanism drives the lifting assembly to move horizontally within the horizontal moving space 2, that is, to move along the front and rear direction of the fixed frame 1. The dual-station rotating assembly 3 is located below the horizontal moving space 2. The two temporary storage fixtures 4 of the dual-station rotating assembly 3 are used to accommodate the extracted fluidized tube or gas distributor.
[0040] The lifting assembly includes a bracket 5, a primary lifting drive mechanism, a primary lifting slide rail 6, a lifting frame 7, a secondary lifting drive mechanism, a secondary lifting slide rail 8, and a multi-stage telescopic arm 9. The bracket 5 is horizontally slidably coupled to the fixed frame 1. The primary lifting drive mechanism and the primary lifting slide rail 6 are mounted on the bracket 5. The primary lifting drive mechanism drives the lifting frame 7 to move up and down along the primary lifting slide rail 6. Specifically, the lifting frame 7 is equipped with a primary slider 6.1 that slides with the primary lifting slide rail 6. The secondary lifting drive mechanism and the secondary lifting slide rail 8 are mounted on the lifting frame 7. The secondary lifting drive mechanism drives the multi-stage telescopic arm 9 to move up and down along the secondary lifting slide rail 8. Specifically, the multi-stage telescopic arm 9 is equipped with a secondary slider that slides with the secondary lifting slide rail 8. The lower end of the multi-stage telescopic arm 9 is equipped with a fluidizing tube positioning mechanism 10 and a gas distributor suction cup 11. The gas distributor suction cup 11 is located below the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism 10. It should be noted that the telescopic principle of the multi-stage telescopic arm 9 is the same as the working principle of existing crane telescopic arms and belongs to existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0041] In this technical solution, the horizontal drive mechanism enables horizontal driving of the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a multi-stage telescopic arm 9, the lower end of which is equipped with a fluidizing tube positioning mechanism 10 and a gas distributor suction cup 11. Simultaneously, the horizontal movement of the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism 10 and the gas distributor suction cup 11 is also achieved, facilitating the horizontal alignment step. Since the two temporary storage fixtures 4 of the dual-station rotating assembly 3 are used to accommodate the extracted fluidizing tube or gas distributor, they facilitate temporary storage of the fluidizing tube and gas distributor during the transfer step. Because the furnace body is located deep underground and the fluidizing tube is relatively high, the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism 10 and the gas distributor suction cup 11 need sufficient vertical lifting stroke to extract the fluidizing tube and gas distributor located inside the furnace body. In this technical solution, the lifting frame 7 is driven to move up and down along the first-level lifting slide rail 6 by the first-level lifting drive mechanism, thus achieving first-level lifting. The multi-stage telescopic arm 9 is driven to move up and down along the second-level lifting slide rail 8 by the second-level lifting drive mechanism, thus achieving second-level lifting. This allows the overall height position of the multi-stage telescopic arm 9 to achieve two-level lifting, thereby controlling the height position of the multi-stage telescopic arm 9. In addition, the multi-stage telescopic arm 9 itself also has a telescopic function, which can further adjust the height position of the extraction action based on the aforementioned two-level lifting. This allows the fluidizing tube positioning mechanism 10 and the gas distributor suction cup 11 to successfully extract the fluidizing tube and gas distributor from the furnace body, and then transfer the extracted fluidizing tube and gas distributor to the temporary storage fixture 4 through the aforementioned lifting action and horizontal movement steps.
[0042] In summary, this technical solution, by controlling the horizontal movement of the lifting components and combining multi-stage lifting with multi-stage telescopic arm 9, can extract the fluidizing pipes and gas distributors that are deep below ground level in the furnace and transfer them smoothly to the temporary storage fixture 4, thus solving a series of problems existing in the manual hoisting of graphite parts (such as fluidizing pipes and gas distributors) in high-temperature environments.

Utilizing high-temperature resistant materials and insulation, the equipment ensures continuous operation above 400°C, eliminating the need for manual intervention. It can be integrated with force control sensors to achieve millimeter-level positioning and non-destructive gripping of graphite components, improving process consistency. Through a DCS system, it can be linked with integrated devices, temporary storage devices, and cleaning devices to form a fully automated closed loop, reducing human error. Single-batch processing time is significantly reduced, greatly increasing production capacity. It eliminates the risks of manual high-temperature operation, reducing the probability of radioactive material exposure. It also reduces equipment downtime and extends the lifespan of graphite components.
[0075] The successful development of this device will be widely applied to high-temperature gas-cooled reactor fuel element production lines, especially suitable for the large-scale production of silicon carbide-coated pellet fuel.
