Technical Field

As shown in Figure 1, the R141 building layout has a large number of equipment and complex pipelines, with limited usable space, making it difficult to place large equipment. Although there are many workers, the limited space and inconvenient movement of personnel result in a significant amount of time spent on finger sleeve extraction and insertion. In the past, when manually performing finger sleeve extraction and insertion operations in nuclear power plants, the intensity of the work and the resulting fatigue made it difficult to ensure the consistency and stability of the operation for each finger sleeve.

[0049] As complex and critical energy production facilities, nuclear power plants rely heavily on the stable operation and efficient maintenance of their equipment to ensure a stable power supply. The finger sleeve insertion and removal operation within the RIC (Regenerative Nuclear Activated) building is a crucial component of nuclear power plant maintenance. Traditional manual operation methods have numerous limitations in terms of efficiency, labor costs, and safety. The roller-type finger sleeve insertion and removal device in this nuclear power plant makes significant contributions in these areas. In terms of efficiency: Manual insertion and removal of finger sleeves is time-consuming for a single sleeve, and consistency and stability are difficult to guarantee. Previously, inserting and removing a single set of finger sleeves could take a day or more. However, with the roller-type insertion and removal device in this nuclear power plant, the insertion and removal time can be reduced to within 4 hours. Reducing the testing time of relevant systems in the RIC plant during overhauls allows for faster restoration of normal operation of related equipment, minimizing power generation interruptions due to equipment downtime for maintenance. This effectively increases the power plant's generating time and output, positively impacting plant productivity.
[0050] Regarding labor costs: In the past, the insertion and removal of finger sleeves in the RIC (Radio Injection Chamber) building during nuclear power plant maintenance relied on manual labor, requiring at least four workers. This not only consumed a significant amount of human resources but could also lead to low efficiency due to coordination issues. However, with the implementation of the roller-type finger sleeve insertion and removal device, only two operators are needed to complete the same task. This means that the saved human resources can be redistributed to other critical maintenance aspects or production processes within the nuclear power plant, achieving optimized resource allocation. For example, these surplus personnel can be used for control system testing and fine-tuning of power generation equipment, thereby improving the overall maintenance level and operational efficiency of the power plant and directly contributing to increased plant productivity.
[0051] Safety aspects: Nuclear power plant work is unique. When inspecting finger sleeves in the RIC (Regenerative Nuclear Control) plant, maintenance personnel must wear protective clothing. While protective clothing provides protection, it limits operational flexibility and increases the risk of misoperation. However, the application of this nuclear power plant's finger sleeve roller-type insertion and removal device significantly reduces the possibility of misoperation due to its precise control and convenient process. This improvement enhances the safety level of power plant maintenance, reduces downtime, maintenance costs, and additional resource investment caused by safety accidents, and lays a solid foundation and provides strong support for improving power plant productivity.
