Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxyacetylene surfacing technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for oxyacetylene surfacing of a four-linked hook assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The control rod drive mechanism is one of the key pieces of equipment in the nuclear island of a nuclear power plant. The claw, as a core moving part of the control rod drive mechanism, is crucial for the overall stable operation of the mechanism due to its reliability and stability. Currently, the control rod drive mechanism claws widely used in nuclear power plants are single-tooth claws primarily manufactured using cobalt-based alloy surfacing. As a core moving part of the control rod drive mechanism, the claw requires complex surfacing of dissimilar materials within a very small pin hole, with high precision requirements for dimensional and shape errors. To accelerate surfacing efficiency, four-claw assemblies are often used to surface multiple claw parts simultaneously. Currently, the claw structure often uses a four-claw assembly composed of four claws integrated into one unit. The claw teeth form a circular hole, simplifying the surfacing process and facilitating the overall machining of the assembly after surfacing. However, during the dissimilar alloy surfacing of the claws, ensuring quality is crucial. Currently, the surfacing efficiency of four-claw assemblies is relatively low and heavily reliant on operator skill while meeting design requirements.
[0003] Based on the above-mentioned welding hook technology, there is currently no suitable auxiliary welding device to improve welding efficiency and reduce operational difficulty. Furthermore, during the welding process, the small four-hook assembly is prone to heat buildup due to heat accumulation, which affects the welding effect and product performance.
[0004] In summary, the main shortcomings of the existing oxyacetylene welding method for preparing claw parts are: (1) the efficiency of welding claws is low and it cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of speed and quality; (2) the quality of claw welding is heavily dependent on the operator's skill level.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an auxiliary device for oxyacetylene welding of a four-claw assembly, including an adjustment device 200 for connecting to the four-claw assembly 100. The adjustment device 200 is fixed to the fixing post 600 by a flip adjustment mechanism 40.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2The welding holes of the four-claw assembly 100 are shown, totaling eight holes. The description focuses on the first welding hole 102 and the second welding hole 103 as examples. The first welding hole 102 and the second welding hole 103 are similar to a gourd shape, extending through one of the claws of the four-claw assembly 100. On the same side of the claw, the two welding holes are reversed, with varying diameters. During conventional welding, both ends of the first welding hole 102 and the second welding hole 103 require oxyacetylene welding. Furthermore, to maintain the welding position changes of the four-claw assembly during welding, such as horizontal movement, rotation, and flipping of the four claws, it is necessary to keep the welding holes coaxial with the welding auxiliary device to ensure welding accuracy. Therefore, using the fixed column 600 as a reference, it is ensured that each welding hole remains coaxial with the fixed column 600 after the mechanical structure moves.
[0028] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The adjustment device 200 includes a horizontal adjustment mechanism 20, a rotary adjustment mechanism 30, and a tilting adjustment mechanism 40. The horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 is connected to the four-claw assembly 100, and the tilting adjustment mechanism 40 is connected to the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 via the rotary adjustment mechanism 30. Please also refer to... Figure 3 The horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 includes a first connecting post 201 and a locking piece (not labeled) disposed on the first connecting post 201. The four-pronged hook assembly 100 is fixed to the first connecting post 201 by the locking piece.
[0029] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 includes a first connecting post 201, a first fixed locking piece 202 and a second fixed locking piece 203 disposed on the first connecting post 201, and a first threaded post 205 and a movable locking piece 206 disposed at the end of the first connecting post 201. The locking pieces include a fixed locking piece 210 and a movable locking piece 206. The fixed locking piece 210 includes a first fixed locking piece 202 disposed at the first end of the first connecting post 201 and a second fixed locking piece 203 fixed to the first connecting post 201. The second fixed locking piece 203 and the movable locking piece 206 contact the four-link claw assembly 100 from both sides, respectively, so that the four-link claw assembly 100 is fixed on the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20. The first fixed locking piece 202 and the second fixed locking piece 203 are used to restrict the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 in the horizontal direction. The second end of the first connecting post 201 is provided with a first threaded post 205 and a first nut 207. The movable locking piece 206 is fixed to the first threaded post 205 by the first nut 207. The second fixed locking piece 203 is fixedly connected to the first connecting post 201 and is fixed in contact with the four-pronged hook assembly 100. Similarly, the movable locking piece 206 is sleeved on the first connecting post 201 and is fixed in contact with the four-pronged hook assembly 100.
[0030] The four-pronged hook assembly 100 is sleeved onto the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting post 201. The four-pronged hook assembly 100 is fixed to the first connecting post 201 by a movable locking piece 206, a second fixed locking piece 203, and a first threaded post 205, thereby maintaining its fixation on the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20. (See also...) Figure 3 The four-pronged hook assembly 100 is located on the second side of the second fixing plate 203. To fix the four-pronged hook assembly 100, a hollow channel 101 is first formed inside the assembly. Then, the first connecting post 201 is inserted into the channel 101, causing the movable fixing plate 206 to fix the four-pronged hook assembly 100. Finally, the corresponding first nut 207 is tightened at the first threaded post 205, fixing the four-pronged hook assembly 100 to the end of the first threaded post 205. The first nut 207 is located at one end of the first connecting post 201, and it achieves the purpose of fixing the four-pronged hook assembly 100 by fixing the movable fixing plate 206.
[0031] Please also refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the rotation adjustment mechanism 30 includes a rotation adjustment ring 301, a horizontal adjustment mechanism connecting channel 302, and a first screw hole 303. The horizontal adjustment mechanism connecting channel 302 is formed by a hollow cavity inside the rotation adjustment ring 301, and the first screw hole 303 is formed through the wall of the rotation adjustment ring 301. A second bolt 304 is provided in the first screw hole 303, and the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 and the rotation adjustment mechanism 30 are fixed to the first connecting post 201 by the second bolt 304. The rotation adjustment ring 301 is disposed between the first fixing plate 202 and the second fixing plate 203. When the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 moves, the rotation adjustment ring 301 contacts the first fixing plate 202 and the second fixing plate 203 respectively through the second bolt 304. The first connecting post 201 passes through the horizontal adjustment mechanism connecting channel 302, which is used to rotate the entire horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 and the four-claw assembly 100 connected to it.
[0032] When the adjusting device 200 is in operation, the first connecting column 201 is fixed by passing the second bolt 304 through the first screw hole 303 at the rotary adjusting mechanism 30, thereby fixing the horizontal adjusting mechanism 20. By adjusting the second bolt 304, the horizontal adjusting mechanism 20 can be rotated to control the rotation of the four-pronged hook assembly 100. The first connecting column 201 has two centrally symmetrical upper and lower planes. The four-pronged hook assembly 100 is adjusted and fixed on the two upper and lower planes by the second bolt 304 to achieve the rotation of the four-pronged hook assembly 100.
[0033] The first connecting column 201 is also provided with a weight reduction hole 204, which can penetrate through the upper and lower planes.
[0034] The rotary adjustment mechanism 30 is connected to an auxiliary adjustment bracket 500. The auxiliary adjustment bracket 500 includes a support arm 510 and a second connecting column 503. The support arm 510 includes a first support block 501 and a second support block 502. One end of the first support block 501 is connected to the horizontal adjustment mechanism connection channel 302, and the other end can be vertically connected to the second support block 502. The second support block 502 is connected to the second connecting column 503. One end of the second connecting column 503 is vertically connected to one side of the second support block 502 and can be horizontally parallel to the first support block 501.
[0035] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the flipping adjustment mechanism 40 includes a third support block 401, a threaded hole 402, and a fourth support block 403. The threaded hole 402 is formed through the wall of the third support block 401. The fourth support block 403 is rigidly connected to the fixing post 600, and the rigid connection can be, for example, a welded connection. The fixing post 600 is hollow inside and is connected to the fixing pile to fix the oxyacetylene welding auxiliary device of the four-link hook claw assembly. The third support block 401 is hollow inside, forming an internal channel 405. The third support block 401 is sleeved with one end of the second connecting post 503 through the internal channel 405, and then fixed by a third bolt in the threaded hole 402. The third support block 401 and the fourth support block 403 are vertically connected, and the fourth support block 403 is also vertically connected to the fixing post 600.
[0036] The flip-adjustment mechanism 40 is connected to the auxiliary adjustment bracket 500, which is connected to the auxiliary adjustment bracket 500 via the second bolt 504 (please refer to the relevant documentation). Figure 1 The second connecting post 503 is fixed in the internal channel 405 of the third support block.
[0037] The components of the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20, the rotary adjustment mechanism 30 and the flip adjustment mechanism 40 are rigidly connected. The adjustment device 200 has a limit device during adjustment. The limit device may include, for example, a second fixing plate 203.
[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The four-pronged hook assembly 100 moves horizontally by adjusting the second bolt 304 located at the rotary adjustment mechanism 30. When the horizontal adjustment mechanism 20 is running, the second bolt 304 needs to be secured with a nut to prevent loosening, and the movement distance at both ends is determined by the first fixing plate 202 and the second fixing plate 203. (See reference...) Figure 3 When the first fixed locking piece 202 contacts the rotation adjustment mechanism 30, the corresponding weld overlay hole position is... Figure 2 The first weld overlay hole position 102. When the second fixing clip 203 contacts the rotation adjustment mechanism 30, the corresponding weld overlay hole position is... Figure 2The second weld overlay hole 103 is located in the middle, and the locking positions at both ends further ensure the coaxiality of the weld overlay hole and the fixed post 600. (See reference...) Figure 4 The flipping adjustment mechanism 40, through the adjustment of the second bolt 504, rotates the second connecting column 503 to drive the support arm 510 to flip, thereby achieving the purpose of flipping the four-link hook assembly 100. The second connecting column 503 and the fixed column 600 are concentric and coaxial. Rotating the second connecting column 503 drives the support arm 510 to flip. The fixed column 600 ensures that the weld overlay hole position and the tooling fixing bracket are concentric and coaxial, so that the tooling fixing bracket is concentric and coaxial with the first weld overlay hole position 102 and the second weld overlay hole position 103, respectively. The tooling fixing bracket includes the aforementioned rotating adjustment mechanism 30, the aforementioned first support block 501, and the aforementioned second support block 502. See also... Figure 2 and Figure 5 It is understandable that during the welding of the four-pronged hook assembly 100, the fixed column 600 serves as support, and the coaxiality of the entire welding auxiliary device is determined, with the front of the first welding hole 102 at this time as the initial welding direction. When the flipping adjustment mechanism 40 flips, it simultaneously drives the four-pronged hook assembly 100 to flip, at which point the welding hole position changes to the back of the first welding hole 102. Please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the rotary adjustment mechanism 30 rotates, the welding holes of the four-pronged claw assembly 100 remain coaxial. The rotary adjustment mechanism 30 drives the four-pronged claw assembly 100 to rotate, thereby changing the welding holes to other holes. During this process, a series of holes remain coaxial to ensure welding accuracy.
[0039] The four-claw assembly oxyacetylene welding auxiliary device can be made of stainless steel. Stainless steel auxiliary welding devices are also easier to transfer heat during the welding process, thus improving the welding effect.
