Description

Double-layer thin-wall D-section end rib plate sealing simulation leak detection part and preparation method Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vacuum equipment manufacturing, and in particular relates to a double-layer thin-wall D-section end rib plate sealing and welding simulation leak detection part and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A tokamak is a doughnut-shaped container that uses magnetic confinement to achieve controlled nuclear fusion. Its name derives from the words "toroidal," "kamera," "magnet," and "kotushka." A tokamak consists of a doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber at its center, surrounded by coils. When powered, a massive spiral magnetic field is generated within the tokamak, heating the plasma to extremely high temperatures and achieving nuclear fusion.

[0003] The Tokamak-2M is the largest and most advanced tokamak device currently in existence, representing a new generation of advanced magnetic confinement nuclear fusion experimental research equipment. As one of the three main components of a tokamak, the vacuum chamber is crucial for providing a stable reaction space for the ultra-high temperature plasma.

[0004] The mainframe vacuum chamber, one of the three mainframe components of the Circulator II M device, features a D-shaped, double-layered, thin-walled, fully welded ring structure. Its inner ring has a diameter of 2 meters, its outer ring has a diameter of 5.22 meters, and its height is 3.02 meters. It primarily consists of an inner shell, an outer shell, stiffening ribs, and various window openings. The entire vacuum chamber is welded together from 20 fan-shaped segments, each with an 18° center angle. The mainframe vacuum chamber structure is shown in Figure 18.

[0005] Each segment is welded together into a D-shaped, interlayered component consisting of an inner shell, an outer shell, and two end panels. Several locations, as indicated by the cloud lines in Figure 18, require welding to the window. Therefore, the end panels at these locations must be cut, leaving no connection between adjacent end panels at the cutouts. As shown in Figure 19, welding to the window creates a cavity that cannot guarantee vacuum and leak rate requirements. However, as a vacuum chamber operates in high-temperature plasma, it has very strict requirements for vacuum and leak rate within the vacuum chamber. To ensure that the vacuum and leak rate within the mainframe vacuum chamber meet these requirements, the cutouts of the end panels must be sealed as shown in Figure 20 before being welded to the window. Consequently, multiple welds converge at this location: the shell-to-end panel weld, the seal weld at the cutouts, and the welds between the end panels, inner shell, and window. To verify that the overlapping welds do not compromise weld integrity, simulation testing is necessary. This is done by welding a simulated test piece and then performing a helium leak test. However, the prior art does not disclose a device that uses a welding simulation test piece to perform welding simulation and performs helium leak detection on the welding simulation test piece. Therefore, the research and development of this technology has great market prospects.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0029] (1) The present invention discloses a double-layer thin-wall D-shaped cross-section end face rib plate sealing and welding simulation leak detection part, the simulation leak detection part comprises a first simulation inner shell, a second simulation inner shell, a first simulation outer shell, a second simulation outer shell, a first simulation end face rib plate, a second simulation end face rib plate and an air intake pipe, the thickness and width of the first simulation inner shell, the second simulation inner shell, the first simulation outer shell, the second simulation outer shell, the first simulation end face rib plate and the second simulation end face rib plate are consistent with the thickness and width of the simulated product at that location, and a helium mass spectrometer leak detector is connected through the air intake pipe to evacuate the interlayer of the simulation leak detection part to realize helium leak detection, thereby performing a simulation test on the double-layer thin-wall D-shaped cross-section end face rib plate sealing and welding;

[0030] (2) The simulated leak detection part of the present invention intercepts the key positions of the simulated product. To ensure that the simulated leak detection part is representative, the simulated part is designed to use the same thickness and material as the components of the simulated product, and is welded using the same welding structure and welding process as the product;

[0031] (3) The present invention uses a special helium leak detection device to perform vacuum helium leak detection on the sealed space of the simulated component in accordance with the product technical requirements. The test results show that the density of the weld at the sealing weld can obtain a vacuum degree and leakage rate that meet the technical requirements, proving the welding reliability of the sealing weld;

[0032] (4) During the helium leak detection process of the simulated leak detection part of the present invention, the first simulated leak detection part is first subjected to a helium leak detection to detect whether the density of the end face rib plate sealing weld is good, and then the second simulated leak detection part is subjected to a helium leak detection to detect whether the density of the end face rib plate and the flange simulation part sealing weld is good, which can better guide the welding process of the simulated product;

[0033] (5) For ultra-high vacuum equipment that must be welded in a cross-overlapping manner due to equipment structural limitations, when it is ultimately impossible to directly perform helium leak detection on the welds to be covered, the present invention studies a simulated leak detection part. By only making a simulated part, the reliability of the structural weld is verified, reducing the risk of rework or even scrapping of later products due to unreasonable weld structure design.

Any structural modification, change in proportional relationship or adjustment of size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by the present invention.

[0057] Since the equipment is too large to conduct a 1:1 simulation test, we can only use the simulated product local structure to make a simulation part with the same welding structure as the product part and the same welding process. After welding, a vacuum helium leak test is performed to verify the reliability of the welding structure. However, since the simulation part is a local structure, the same leak detection device as the product cannot be used to detect the vacuum degree and leak rate. Therefore, it is necessary to design and manufacture a special simulation part leak detection device.

[0093] The preparation method of a double-layer thin-wall D-section end rib plate sealing and welding simulated leak detection part of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0094] 1) Determine the thickness and width of the first simulated inner shell 1, the second simulated inner shell 2, the first simulated outer shell 3, the second simulated outer shell 4, the first simulated end face rib plate 5, and the second simulated end face rib plate 6 so that they are consistent with the thickness and width of the simulated product at that location. The height of the flange simulation part 13 is consistent with the height of the window of the simulated product.

[0095] 2) Process the first groove 17 of the first simulated inner shell 1, the second simulated inner shell 2, the first simulated outer shell 3, and the second simulated outer shell 4 as shown in FIG3 . The first groove 17 is consistent with the groove of the simulated product. A total of 4 pieces, 2 inner shells and 2 outer shells;

[0096] 3) As shown in Figure 4, the first simulated inner shell 1, the second simulated inner shell 2, the first simulated outer shell 3, the second simulated outer shell 4, the first simulated end face rib plate 5 and the second simulated end face rib plate 6 are respectively assembled and welded to form two "Π"-shaped structures. The two "Π"-shaped structures represent adjacent fan-shaped segments, and a total of two specimens represent adjacent fan-shaped segments.

[0097] 4) Process the grooves at the end face reinforcement plates of the two "Π"-shaped structures as shown in Figures 5 to 7, and process the two ends of the end face reinforcement plates on both sides of the "Π"-shaped structure into the second groove 18, and the middle position of the two sides of the end face reinforcement plates of the "Π"-shaped structure into the third groove 19. The second groove 18 is processed according to the groove form and size of the connecting weld between adjacent sector segments of the simulated product, and the third groove 19 is processed according to the groove form and size of the sealing weld of the end face reinforcement plates at the cut between adjacent sector segments of the simulated product. There are 2 pieces in total, AA is processed according to the groove form and size of the connecting weld between adjacent sector segments of the product, and BB is processed according to the groove form and size of the sealing weld of the end face reinforcement plates at the cut between adjacent sector segments of the product.

[0098] 5) As shown in Figures 8 and 9, two "Π"-shaped structures are welded back to back to form an "H"-shaped structure, which respectively represent the welds of the end ribs between adjacent sector segments.

[0099] 6) Cut the H-shaped structure of the test piece into two "H"-shaped simulated leak detection initial pieces along the center CC as shown in Figures 10 to 12, process the fourth groove 20 on the cut surface and weld to form the fifth weld 12, and divide it into two symmetrical test pieces along the center, and then process the welding groove of the end face sealing welding at the cut end face rib plate and weld them.

[0100] 7) The entire unwelded portion of the end face ribs of one of the "H" type simulated leak detection initial parts is sealed and welded, and the end face of the "H" type simulated leak detection initial part away from the fourth weld 11 is connected to the intake pipe 7 to form a first simulated leak detection part. According to Figure 1, a φ12.5 helium leak detection hole with a depth of 10 mm is drilled on the side of the end face ribs away from the fourth weld 11. At the same time, a φ12 helium leak detection intake pipe 7 is welded. After the helium leak detection device is welded, a helium mass spectrometer is used to perform vacuum helium leak detection on the interlayer cavity formed by the sealing weld of the end face ribs. The leakage rate is ≤1×10 -9 Pa·m 3 / s, the end face rib sealing weld has good density, and the vacuum degree and leakage rate meet the technical requirements.

[0101] 8) As shown in Figures 13 to 15, a fifth groove 21 is processed on one end face of another "H"-shaped simulated leak detection initial part near the fourth weld 11. The fifth groove 21 is consistent with the groove at the connection window of the simulated product. The groove size of the end face rib plate welded to the inner and outer shells and the window is consistent with that of the product.

[0102] 9) As shown in Figures 16 and 17, another "H"-shaped simulated leak detection initial part is welded to the flange simulation part 13 at the fifth groove 21, and the entire unwelded part of the end face rib of the "H"-shaped simulated leak detection initial part where it is connected is sealed and welded. At the same time, the end face of the "H"-shaped simulated leak detection initial part away from the fourth weld 11 is connected to the air intake pipe 7 to form a second simulated leak detection part, as shown in Figure 2. The welding represents the welds between the flange simulation part and the inner and outer shells and the window.

[0103] 10) As shown in FIG2 , all components of the second simulated leak detection component except the air inlet pipe 7 are wrapped in a helium cover, and the second simulated leak detection component is connected to the helium mass spectrometer leak detector through the air inlet pipe 7. The interlayer of the second simulated leak detection component is evacuated, and then the leak detection valve of the helium mass spectrometer leak detection is opened. After the instrument reaches the working pressure, the instrument is put into the leak detection working state, and the output indication of the instrument is observed to determine the leakage rate of the second simulated leak detection component. The detection of the second simulated leak detection component is completed. When the leakage rate is ≤1×10 -9 Pa·m 3 / s, the weld density is good, and the vacuum degree and leakage rate meet the technical requirements.

[0104] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0105] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention discloses a double-layer thin-walled D-section end rib plate sealing simulation leak detection part, including a first simulated inner shell 1, a second simulated inner shell 2, a first simulated outer shell 3, a second simulated outer shell 4, a first simulated end rib plate 5, a second simulated end rib plate 6 and an intake pipe 7, and a flange simulation part 13. The thickness and width dimensions of the first simulated inner shell 1, the second simulated inner shell 2, the first simulated outer shell 3, the second simulated outer shell 4, the first simulated end rib plate 5, and the second simulated end rib plate 6 are consistent with the thickness and width dimensions of the simulated product at that location. The height of the flange simulation part 13 is consistent with the height of the window of the simulated product. A first simulated leak detection part and a second simulated leak detection part are made. The first simulated leak detection part is used to perform vacuum helium leak detection on the interlayer cavity formed by the sealing weld of the end rib plate, and the second simulated leak detection part is used to perform vacuum helium leak detection on the interlayer cavity formed by the end rib plate, the shell and the flange again. The production of the simulation part verifies the reliability of the structural weld and reduces the risk of rework or even scrapping of later products due to unreasonable weld structure design.

[0106] Because the structure of the host vacuum chamber equipment itself can be sealed to realize the vacuum helium leak detection of the equipment itself, the test piece is to verify whether the early structural design and groove design can meet the requirements of the vacuum helium leak detection of the equipment. It is not operational to conduct a simulation test on the test piece according to the 1:1 size of the equipment. Therefore, the test piece adopts a partially open structure and the welding form has been determined. The difficulty lies in how to realize the helium leak detection of the test piece. It cannot be detected according to the conventional helium leak detection method. The structure of the test piece is analyzed. The present invention adopts the method of sealing welding between the various components of the simulated leak detection piece, and wraps all the components of the test piece except the exhaust pipe in a helium cover. The exhaust pipe is connected to the helium mass spectrometer leak detector to vacuum the interlayer of the test piece, and then the leak detection valve of the instrument is opened. After the instrument reaches the working pressure, the instrument is put into the leak detection working state, and the output indication of the instrument is observed to determine the leakage rate of the test piece.

[0107] The present invention discloses a double-layer thin-wall D-shaped cross-section end face rib plate sealing and welding simulation leak detection part, the simulation leak detection part comprises a first simulation inner shell, a second simulation inner shell, a first simulation outer shell, a second simulation outer shell, a first simulation end face rib plate, a second simulation end face rib plate and an air intake pipe, the thickness and width dimensions of the first simulation inner shell, the second simulation inner shell, the first simulation outer shell, the second simulation outer shell, the first simulation end face rib plate and the second simulation end face rib plate are consistent with the thickness and width dimensions of the simulated product at that location, and a helium mass spectrometer leak detector is connected through the air intake pipe, and the interlayer of the simulation leak detection part is vacuumed to realize helium leak detection, thereby performing simulated detection on the sealing and welding of the end face rib plate of the double-layer thin-wall D-shaped cross-section.

[0108] The simulated leak detection part of the present invention captures the key positions of the simulated product. To ensure that the simulated leak detection part is representative, the simulated part is designed to use materials with the same thickness and material as the components of the simulated product, and is welded using the same welding structure and welding process as the product.

[0109] The present invention uses a special helium leak detection device to perform vacuum helium leak detection on the sealed space of the simulated component in accordance with the product technical requirements. The test results show that the density of the weld at the sealing point can obtain the vacuum degree and leakage rate that meet the technical requirements, proving the welding reliability of the sealing.

[0110] During the helium leak detection process of the simulated leak detection part of the present invention, the first simulated leak detection part is first subjected to a helium leak detection to detect whether the density of the sealing weld of the end face rib plate is good, and then the second simulated leak detection part is subjected to a helium leak detection to detect whether the density of the sealing weld between the end face rib plate and the flange simulation part is good, which can better guide the welding process of the simulated product.

[0111] For ultra-high vacuum equipment that must be welded using a cross-overlapping method due to equipment structural limitations, when it is ultimately impossible to directly perform helium leak detection on the welds to be covered, the present invention studies a simulated leak detection part. By only producing a simulated part, the reliability of the structural welds is verified, reducing the risk of rework or even scrapping of later products due to unreasonable weld structure design.

[0112] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0113] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
