Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing technology for the wellhead of nuclear waste storage wells, and in particular to a welding fixture for manufacturing the wellhead of nuclear waste storage wells. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear waste generally refers to radioactive waste that is no longer needed after nuclear fuel production, processing, and use in nuclear reactors. It also specifically refers to the radioactive waste such as uranium-238 remaining after spent fuel from nuclear reactors has been reprocessed to recover usable nuclear materials such as plutonium-239. When storing nuclear waste, a nuclear waste storage well is required. A nuclear waste storage well is an underground facility used to store radioactive waste generated in nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel cycles, and scientific research activities. Its core function is to safely isolate nuclear waste and prevent radioactive materials from leaking into the environment. The manufacture of a nuclear waste storage well opening requires a nuclear waste storage well opening manufacturing and welding fixture.

[0003] The current manufacturing and welding fixtures for nuclear waste storage wellheads can basically meet people's needs, but there are still some problems, as follows: when connecting the cylinder, the connection is not stable enough, and installation and assembly cannot be carried out quickly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding fixture for manufacturing the wellhead of a nuclear waste storage well, in order to solve the problem that existing welding fixtures for manufacturing the wellhead of nuclear waste storage wells are difficult to assemble stably.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding fixture for manufacturing the wellhead of a nuclear waste storage well, including a base plate;

[0006] The top of the base plate is fitted with mounting screws, the top of the base plate is fitted with a third cylinder, and the top of the third cylinder is fitted with a second cylinder.

[0007] The top of the second cylinder is the first cylinder, and the interiors of the first cylinder, the second cylinder and the third cylinder are provided with cavities. The outer sides of the first cylinder, the second cylinder and the third cylinder are all equipped with connecting structures.

[0008] The connection structure includes a first flange installed on the outer side of the first cylinder, the second cylinder, and the third cylinder. A second flange is installed at the bottom end of the first flange, and a second fixing screw passes through the top end of the second flange.

[0009] In use, first assemble the cylinder and flange parts onto the fixture in sequence. By using the positioning and limiting functions on the fixture and the stop on the inner diameter of the flange, the spacing and parallelism of each flange, the roundness of the cylinder, the coaxiality between cylinders, and the perpendicularity to surface A can be guaranteed. After assembly, remove the fixture and weld each weld. After completion, grind the weld to meet the requirements of non-destructive testing, and grind the inner surface weld smooth.

[0010] Furthermore, the first, second, and third cylinders are equipped with a support structure inside. The support structure includes a fixing block inside each of the first, second, and third cylinders, and a support ring is installed on the inner side of the fixing block. The support ring has a groove inside, and the support structure can support the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, a positioning structure is installed at the top of the base plate. The positioning structure includes a first positioning block installed at the top of the base plate, and a second positioning block provided on one side of the first positioning block. Both ends of the first and second positioning blocks are equipped with connecting plates, and a first fixing screw passes through one side of the connecting plate. The positioning structure can position and install the third cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, a first nut is installed on one side of the first fixing screw. The first nuts are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the first positioning block. The first fixing screw and the first nut can fix the first positioning block and the second positioning block together.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the first fixing screw is uniformly provided with external threads, and the inner side wall of the first nut is uniformly provided with internal threads that cooperate with the external threads. The first fixing screw and the first nut are threadedly connected, and the first nut can be tightened onto the first fixing screw.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom end of the first flange is provided with a locking block, and the top end of the second flange is provided with a locking groove. The first flange and the second flange form a locking structure, which facilitates disassembly.

[0015] Furthermore, a second nut is installed on the top of the second fixing screw, and the second nuts are arranged at equal intervals on the top of the first flange. The second nuts can be tightened onto the second fixing screw.

[0016] The advantages of the manufacturing and welding fixture for the wellhead of the nuclear waste storage well provided by this utility model are: when in use, multiple cylinders can be connected and fixed together through the connecting structure, which facilitates the assembly of multiple cylinders; the cylinders can be stably installed through the positioning structure; and the cylinders can be supported through the support structure.

[0017] A second flange is installed at the bottom of the first flange. The first and second flanges cooperate with each other to form a snap-fit ​​structure. The first and second flanges can be installed in the gap between the first, second, and third cylinders to fix the cylinders together. The second fixing screw and the second nut form a threaded connection. The first and second flanges can be fixed together by tightening the second fixing screw and the second nut. The cylinders and flange parts are assembled on the tooling in sequence. The positioning and limiting on the tooling and the stop on the inner diameter of the flanges can ensure the spacing and parallelism of each flange, the roundness of the cylinder, the coaxiality between the cylinders, and the perpendicularity to surface A. After assembly, the tooling is removed, and each weld is welded. After completion, the welds are ground to meet the requirements of non-destructive testing, and the inner surface welds are ground smooth. This achieves the purpose of making the welding tooling for the nuclear waste storage wellhead easy to assemble stably.

[0018] By setting fixed blocks inside the first, second, and third cylinders, the support ring can be fixed inside the fixed blocks. Both the support ring and the fixed blocks are annular, and the inner side of the support ring is provided with a groove. The support ring can support the first, second, and third cylinders and prevent the cylinders from sinking. This achieves the purpose of making the manufacturing and welding fixtures for the nuclear waste storage wellhead easy to support the cylinders. Attached Figure Description
