Description

Intelligent underwater air sealing system of nuclear power plant
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of nuclear power plant maintenance, in particular to an intelligent underwater sealing system for a nuclear power plant.
Background
During the overhaul period of the nuclear power plant, various inspection devices of a primary loop need to be subjected to nondestructive inspection, and if problems exist, an underwater robot needs to be used for maintenance and treatment. Since the primary equipment is highly radioactive and is at risk of contamination, these inspection and maintenance robots need to be carried out in an aqueous environment to shield the exposure.
When the underwater inspection device and the underwater robot work underwater, measures need to be taken to carry out sealing treatment on various electrical elements of equipment, and water is guaranteed not to enter the electrical elements. The common method is to cover the electric element by mechanical parts, and because the contact surface of the parts is easy to enter water, a sealing structure needs to be processed on the contact surface of the parts, and corresponding sealing parts are placed. The sealing parts comprise static seals and dynamic seals. The static seal is used for the condition that two mutually contacted parts do not move relatively, and the seal is more reliable under the general condition. The dynamic seal is used for the condition that two mutually-contacted parts have relative motion, and in the condition, higher requirements are provided for the machining matching precision, the mounting precision and the surface roughness of the sealing parts and the mutually-contacted parts.
In the nuclear power field, very high requirements are put on the reliability of equipment, particularly underwater equipment, if an electric element leaks water, the whole equipment can be damaged, the equipment can fall to the bottom of a water pool and further damage the bottom of a container, and if the equipment fails in a main pipeline, measures must be taken to take the equipment out of the pipeline, so that the safe operation of the nuclear industry in China is seriously influenced.
In order to improve the sealing reliability of underwater equipment, the currently more common method is to introduce sealing gas with certain pressure into a sealing cavity, and simultaneously ensure that the air pressure in the sealing cavity is greater than the external water pressure of the equipment, so that water cannot enter the equipment even if the sealing condition is damaged. The deeper the operating water depth of the equipment, the higher the required seal gas pressure. The sealed cavity can be understood as a pressure container in a certain sense, the higher the internal pressure is, the higher the requirements on the wall thickness, the structure and the size of the part of the sealed cavity are, and the greater the safety risk of the sealed cavity is. Therefore, if the working water depth of the equipment is deeper, the sealing cavity parts of the equipment are often thicker and heavier, the number of connecting fasteners is large, the connecting fasteners are densely distributed, and the models are large, so that the convenience and the attractiveness of the whole equipment are affected. The conventional method has the defect of high risk of misoperation, and if the design pressure of the sealed cavity is not high, but the sealed cavity is filled with sealing gas with high pressure due to misoperation, the sealed cavity has explosion risk, and great potential safety hazard is caused to personnel and primary loop main equipment of the nuclear power plant.
The invention provides an intelligent underwater air sealing system for a nuclear power plant, which can provide reliable air sealing for various underwater inspection devices and underwater robots of a loop of the nuclear power plant, ensure that water cannot enter a sealed cavity of an electric element during underwater work, and improve the reliability of equipment. The sealing gas pressure of the sealing cavity of the equipment can be automatically adjusted along with the working water depth of the equipment, so that the internal and external pressure difference of the sealing cavity is always kept at a safe and reliable value. Therefore, the compression strength of the sealing cavity can be reduced, the structural requirement of the sealing cavity can be further reduced, and the safety and reliability can be improved.

The safety valve is connected with the underwater sealed cabin through an air pipe, the safety valve plays a safety role, and when the pressure difference between the internal pressure of the underwater sealed cabin and the water pressure outside the cabin is larger than a set value, the sealing air can be discharged through the safety valve. The pressure sensor is connected with the underwater sealed cabin through a cable, and the pressure sensor is used for detecting the pressure of water outside the underwater sealed cabin.
