Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Nuclear waste storage wells serve as a critical barrier for the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, and their manufacturing precision and sealing directly affect the safety of long-term storage. With the growth of global nuclear power capacity and the surge in spent fuel accumulation, the International Atomic Energy Agency has imposed stringent requirements on storage containers, demanding a service life of over 60 years.

[0003] Traditional assembly and welding processes suffer from technical bottlenecks such as cylinder roundness deviation and excessive weld porosity. Furthermore, residual welding stress under high-temperature creep conditions can easily lead to stress corrosion cracking. Multi-axis collaborative clamping can achieve assembly error control and improve welding accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to design a manufacturing and welding fixture for nuclear waste storage well cylinders. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding fixture for manufacturing nuclear waste storage well casings, in order to solve the problem that existing welding fixtures for manufacturing nuclear waste storage well casings are prone to defects in the roundness of the casing during welding, resulting in low welding accuracy.

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

[0006] The inner wall of the well body is uniformly provided with an internal support structure, which includes a wedge block, an internal support plate and a connecting groove. The wedge blocks are uniformly provided on the inner wall of the well body, and a connecting groove is provided on the side of the wedge block away from the well body. An internal support plate is provided inside the connecting groove.

[0007] A positioning structure is provided on the outer side of the well body;

[0008] The top of the positioning structure is fixed with a limit structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the wedge-shaped block and the inner wall of the well body abut against each other, and the wedge-shaped blocks are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the inner support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner support plate and the wedge block are connected by a connecting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the top view of the inner support plate is annular.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a connecting plate, a limiting plate, and fixing bolts. The connecting plate is fixed to the top of the upper connecting rod, a limiting plate is provided on one side of the top of the connecting plate, and fixing bolts are uniformly inserted through one side of the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the central axis of the connecting plate and the central axis of the well body are collinear, and the inner wall of the bottom side of the limiting plate and the outer wall of the top of the well body are in contact with each other.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing bolts are evenly distributed inside the connecting plate, and the top of each fixing bolt extends to the outside of the limiting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes an upper connecting rod, a mounting plate, a connecting plate, a middle connecting rod, and a lower connecting rod. The middle connecting rod is evenly distributed at the middle position on the outer side of the well body. Both ends of the middle connecting rod are fixed with connecting plates. The side of the connecting plate away from the middle connecting rod is bolted with a mounting plate. The top of the mounting plate above the middle connecting rod is evenly fixed with an upper connecting rod, and the bottom of the mounting plate below the middle connecting rod is evenly fixed with a lower connecting rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper connecting rod, middle connecting rod, and lower connecting rod are all evenly distributed on the outer side of the well body.

[0017] The advantages of the nuclear waste storage wellbore manufacturing and welding fixture provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0018] By incorporating an internal support structure, evenly distributed wedge-shaped blocks are tightly pressed against the inner wall of the well body, ensuring that the well body maintains a standard circular shape during welding and avoiding roundness deviation. The interlocking connection between the internal support plate and the connecting groove forms a rigid support, which can reduce vibration or deformation during welding and improve structural stability. The wedge-shaped blocks are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the internal support plate, which facilitates quick installation and disassembly. This device enables the well body to support the welding shape of the well body, improving the working efficiency of the nuclear waste storage well manufacturing and welding tooling during use.

[0019] By setting a limiting structure, the connecting plate is collinear with the central axis of the well body, ensuring the verticality of the well body during welding. The limiting plate contacts the outer wall of the top of the well body, which can restrict the up and down movement of the well body. The fixing bolts pass through the connecting plate at equal intervals, which can improve the stability of the connection between the connecting plate and the limiting plate. This realizes that the device has the function of conveniently limiting the well body, and improves the stability of the nuclear waste storage well body manufacturing and welding tooling during use.

[0020] By incorporating a positioning structure with a centrally located connecting rod, and connecting plates at the top and bottom for mounting, the upper and lower connecting rods are respectively connected via the mounting plates. The inner walls of both the mounting plates and the connecting plates are in contact with the outer side of the well body, forming a circumferential clamping effect on the well body, thus controlling assembly errors. The equidistant distribution of the upper and lower connecting rods ensures uniform force distribution on the well body, avoiding welding errors. This device enables stable and uniform clamping and positioning of the well body, improving the convenience and efficiency of the nuclear waste storage well manufacturing and welding fixture during use.
