Description

An oil injection robot capable of moving across all terrains in complex nuclear environments Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of mobile robot technology, specifically relating to an oil injection robot that moves across all terrains in complex nuclear environments. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear safety is the lifeline of nuclear power development. As the "heart" of the primary loop system in the nuclear island, the safe, stable, and reliable operation of the main nuclear pump throughout its service life directly impacts the safety of the entire nuclear power unit. During long-term operation, the main nuclear pump faces several challenges. First, the high-temperature, high-pressure, multi-condition coupling environment and complex, variable operating conditions increase the probability of component-level damage and even major accidents. Second, due to its complex and interconnected structure, the main nuclear pump's components are highly coupled, meaning damage to one component can lead to damage to another, thus increasing the risk of minor faults causing major malfunctions or even shutdowns. Therefore, regular maintenance and repair of the main nuclear pump are essential.

[0003] The internal equipment of a nuclear power plant's nuclear island is densely packed. During refueling overhauls and routine maintenance, when personnel enter the nuclear island to inspect and maintain the main nuclear pumps, the limited space requires them to work in an irradiated environment for extended periods. This not only threatens the health and lives of personnel and makes it difficult to control collective and individual doses, but also wastes a significant amount of mainline maintenance time, manpower costs, and introduces personnel safety risks.

[0004] As the installed capacity of nuclear power plants continues to expand, the demand for robot applications will become increasingly urgent. How to design robots for the maintenance and repair of nuclear main pumps has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The working principle of the oil injection robot that moves across all terrains in this complex nuclear environment will be illustrated below with specific implementation examples.

[0043] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 6, 7, and 12, this oiling robot, capable of all-terrain movement in complex nuclear environments, primarily uses wheels for locomotion in relatively flat environments without significant large obstacles, exhibiting efficient mobility, flexible operation, and steering. When the robot encounters small obstacles, the motor in the wheel-track hybrid mobility system 1 drives the front wheel suspension 15 to rotate at a certain angle, causing the front wheel bogie 16 and wheels 17 to lift upwards to a certain height. Wheels 17 can then rest on the upper surface of the obstacle. After traveling a certain distance forward, the motor drives the rear wheel suspension 115 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby adjusting the height of the middle and rear wheels to maintain constant contact between the wheels and the obstacle, ensuring the robot smoothly passes through it. When traversing uneven terrain, the spring-driven front shock absorber 13 and front shock absorber sleeve 14, and the spring-driven rear shock absorber 113 and rear shock absorber sleeve 114 absorb and buffer the impact force transmitted from the road surface to the robot body, protecting critical components from vibration and impact damage, allowing the robot to pass smoothly. When the robot needs to turn, the motor drives the front wheel bogie 16 and the rear wheel bogie 117 to rotate at a certain angle, causing the front and rear wheels to turn to one side, while the middle wheel maintains a straight-line driving state. This allows the robot to turn 360 degrees on the spot, exhibiting extremely high flexibility.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 8, and 13, an oiling robot capable of all-terrain movement in complex environments requires a wheel-tracked hybrid mobility system 1 to switch from wheeled to tracked movement when facing uneven terrain. First, the motor drives the lifting column 112, which in turn moves the track body 19, the front rocker arm 18, and the rear rocker arm 116 downwards in a straight line until...

[0045] The track body 19 is in contact with the ground, while the wheels 17 are suspended in the air. To ensure that the wheel suspension, wheel bogie, wheel side bogie, and wheels do not interfere with obstacles during forward movement, the motor drives the front wheel suspension 15 to rotate at a certain angle, causing the front wheel bogie 16 and wheels 17 to rise to a certain height. The motor also drives the middle wheel side bogie 111 and the rear wheel side bogie 118 to rotate at a certain angle, causing the middle and rear wheels to rise to both sides, thus lifting the wheels off the ground.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 9, 10, and 14, an oil-filling robot capable of all-terrain movement in complex nuclear environments is described. Using tracked movement on complex terrain and rugged surfaces provides greater traction and adhesion, exhibiting excellent environmental adaptability. In tracked movement mode, the robot's posture changes through the coordinated operation of the front rocker arm 18, the grabber 12, and the rear rocker arm 116, enabling obstacle crossing across all terrains. For example, when traversing large obstacles, the grabber 12 assists, while the front and rear rocker arms act as the primary means, with all three working in concert to overcome the obstacle. First, in the wheel-tracked composite movement system 1, the motor drives the grabber 12 to rotate at a certain angle, bringing it into contact with the upper surface of the obstacle. The motor continues to apply pressure, causing the grabber 12 to lift the entire robot upwards to a certain height. Then, the motor drives the front rocker arm 18 to rotate at a certain angle, lifting it upwards and placing it on the obstacle, allowing it to move forward with strong traction provided by the tracks. Subsequently, the motor drives the rear rocker arm 116 to rotate at a certain angle, lowering it to support the entire robot, ensuring contact between the tracks and the obstacle, ultimately enabling the robot to successfully pass through the large obstacle. Meanwhile, during obstacle crossing, the large arm 23 and the small arm 27 of the six-axis robotic arm 2 extend and retract to their minimum distance under the drive of the motor; the camera system lifting column 52 of the camera system 5 also extends and retracts to its minimum distance under the drive of the motor, so as to achieve the overall center of gravity balance of the control robot.

[0047] Referring to Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, and 11, during the robot's movement, the various components of the six-axis robotic arm 2 and the camera system 5 continuously change their postures, allowing it to observe the surrounding environment from all angles and ensuring it successfully reaches the designated position for tasks such as inspection and oiling. The 3D vision sensor 211 mounted at the end of the six-axis robotic arm 2 is primarily used to identify the location of the oil hole and simultaneously collect near-field environmental information. The robot camera 54 mounted at the end of the camera system 5 is mainly used to observe the surrounding environment of the vehicle and the operating environment of the six-axis robotic arm 2, providing video evidence for the operator. When the robot travels on uneven surfaces or crosses obstacles, the six-axis robotic arm 2 and the camera system 5 can adjust their height to ensure the robot's overall center of gravity balance.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 14, and 15, a six-axis robotic arm 2 with a unique configuration of two prismatic joints and four revolute joints, and with its large extension ratio of the upper arm 23 and lower arm 27, avoids singularities, improves flexibility, and expands the working range. Furthermore, the oil pipe 45 in the oil replenishment system 4 is connected to the oil gun 312 in the six-axis robotic arm 2, allowing for oil filling operations simply by controlling the oil circuit control valve 42. In addition, the large-capacity oil tank 41 enables continuous operation of multiple main pumps. For example, when the robot reaches the designated position, the various parts of the six-axis robotic arm 2 work together to bring the 3D vision sensor 211 at the end of the arm close to the main pump. The 3D vision sensor 211 detects the surface of the main pump and identifies the oil filling hole position, guiding the robotic arm to automatically complete the oil filling operation. When the end oil gun 312 is aligned with the oil filling hole on the main pump, the main pump can be filled with oil simply by controlling the oil circuit control valve 42 in the oil replenishment system 4 to ensure the operation of the main pump.

[0049] The above-described embodiment presents an all-terrain mobile oil filling robot for complex nuclear environments. It possesses excellent adaptability to complex terrains and features automatic oil filler port identification. Primarily, it performs oil changes and replenishments to the upper and lower dual tanks of the nuclear main pump motor, either automatically or through human-machine collaboration. This creates an oil film between high-speed rotating components, enhancing lubrication, reducing friction, extending component lifespan, and ensuring stable and efficient main pump operation. Simultaneously, it dissipates heat generated by motor operation and mechanical friction, preventing component damage due to high temperatures. Furthermore, it enhances sealing performance, preventing coolant leakage and impurity entry, and forms a protective film on component surfaces to prevent corrosion and oxidation, thereby ensuring the normal service life of the main pump and the entire nuclear power plant.
