Description

Passive shutdown device and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of mechanical control, and particularly relates to a passive shutdown device and a control method thereof.
Background
Nuclear reactors, also known as nuclear reactors or reactors, are devices that can sustain a controlled, self-sustaining, chain-type nuclear fission reaction to achieve nuclear energy utilization. The nuclear reactor can generate a self-sustaining chain type nuclear fission process in the nuclear reactor without adding a neutron source by reasonably arranging nuclear fuel. In order to be able to control the reactor power during operation of a nuclear reactor, it is generally necessary to regulate the reactor power by means of a strong neutron absorber and control rods.
The material of the control rod is usually B4C, which can be classified into 3 types according to the use of the control rod: compensation stick, regulating rod and safety stick. Wherein the safety rod is a device for safely shutting down the reactor by quickly dropping the rod. The safety rod driving mechanism is a key device for the reliable operation and the safe shutdown of the reactor. Safety considerations are to prevent the safety rod drive from failing to operate in the event of a power failure, and passive emergency shutdown devices are also typically provided with nuclear reactors. The passive emergency rod dropping adopted by the traditional pressurized water reactor utilizes the gravitational potential energy of a control rod, the electromagnetic force at the end part of the control rod disappears after a power failure accident happens, and the control rod falls into the reactor core of the nuclear reactor under the action of gravity to complete the shutdown. However, for the lead-based fast reactor, the coolant is liquid lead or lead bismuth, the density of the coolant is far greater than that of the control rods, and the control rods are difficult to insert into the reactor core by gravity under the action of huge density difference. The addition of the counterweight to the control rod can ensure that the control rod is inserted into the core by gravity, but also brings new trouble: firstly, the price of heavy metal is high, and the cost of the counterweight on the control rod is high; secondly, the control rod needs to be configured to have a density much greater than 10275kg/m3The rod dropping function can be well realized, so that a large amount of energy is consumed for controlling the suspension of the rod when the emergency shutdown is not triggered; finally, the viscous resistance of the liquid metal is greater than that of water, and the control rods can be inserted into the reactor core by means of self gravity, but the attitude imbalance is easily caused, and the control rods are even clamped in the reactor. Therefore, the passive shutdown task is difficult to be completed by adopting the traditional rod dropping mode.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the invention without making creative efforts, fall within the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the passive shutdown device of the present invention utilizes the large buoyancy generated by the high density of the lead-based fast reactor coolant. The method adopts the modes of ejection, buoyancy, restriction and recovery to complete the emergency shutdown task when the shutdown device is powered off so as to prevent accidents of the nuclear reactor.
The passive shutdown device comprises: the control rod control device comprises a control rod 1, an ejection device 2, a stabilizer 3, a constraint device 4, a driving device 5, a logic circuit 6 and a guide device 7;
one end of the control rod 1 is provided with the stabilizer 3, and the other end is provided with a guide device 7; an ejection device 2 is arranged below the stabilizer 3, one end of a restraint device 4 is connected with the stabilizer 3, and the other end of the restraint device penetrates through the ejection device 2 to be connected with a controller.
The material of the control rod 1 is B4C, the control rod 1 is in a lead-based fast reactor coolant environment;
the stabilizer 3 is a counterweight device containing ferromagnetic metal, the electromagnetic device is arranged at the bottom of the ejection device 2, when the emergency shutdown is not triggered, the electromagnetic device is electrified, the stabilizer 3 is magnetically connected with the electromagnetic device, and the ejection device 2 is in a compressed state.
The functions and functions of the specific structures are as follows:
wherein, the control rod 1 has good neutron absorption capacity, and B is generally adopted as the control rod 14C material and lead-based fast reactor coolant density ratio control rod material B4The density of the C is much larger, the control rod can bear large buoyancy in the coolant, so that the passive shutdown can not be carried out by adopting the traditional free falling body mode.
The ejection device 2 has a spring as a core component, and is in an energy storage state when the emergency shutdown is not triggered, namely the spring is in a compression state. The current exists in the loop during the normal operation of the nuclear reactor, the electromagnetic device of the stabilizer 3 is used for fixing the control rod 1 at the bottom of the nuclear reactor, and the ejection device is in an energy storage state.
Stabilizer 3, the stabilizer is the counter weight device that is located control rod 1 lower extreme ferruginous metal, and the stabilizer has two effects in passive shutdown device:
the method has the following effects: stabilizing a control rod 1 at the bottom of a nuclear reactor by utilizing electromagnetic force during normal operation of the nuclear reactor;
the second action is as follows: after triggering the passive shutdown, the control rod 1 is popped up, and in the process of upward movement under the action of buoyancy, the gravity center position of the control rod 1 is changed to keep the attitude of the control rod 1 stable.
The restraining device 4 is a flexible metal chain, the flexibility of the restraining device 4 is that the restraining device 4 does not have obvious influence on the operation of the control rod 1 when the control rod 1 is ejected, and the metal material prevents the corrosion of high-temperature coolant. The effect has two:
the method has the following effects: after the control rod is popped out, the control rod is pulled by tension force to keep a vertical state;
the second action is as follows: and after the shutdown task is completed, the control rod is returned by the traction of the driving device 5.
The driving device 5 is a motor and is used for providing power when the scram is finished, and the control rod 1 is reset through the traction restraining device 4.
The guide device 7 is characterized in that two coaxial circular rings can be replaced by cylindrical sleeves in the guide mode, the restraining device keeps the posture of the control rod 1 after being ejected out by limiting the degree of freedom of the control rod, and the control rod 1 is returned when the reactor is restarted by matching with the driving device 5 after the work is finished.
And the logic circuit 6 is used for triggering the passive shutdown device and a control circuit for recovering after the passive shutdown device is completed. The circuit logic is as follows: when a non-energy passive emergency shutdown signal is triggered, the loop is powered off, the electromagnetic force of the stabilizer 3 disappears, and the control rod is ejected out by the spring. When the nuclear reactor is restarted by triggering, the starting mechanism works to withdraw the restraint device 4, the stabilizer 3 is electrified to generate electromagnetic force to fix the control rod at the bottom, and the driving device 5 releases the restraint device after the fixation is completed, so that the tension of the restraint device 4 disappears to ensure that the control rod 1 can be effectively ejected when the nuclear reactor is in emergency shutdown next time.
As shown in fig. 4, the passive emergency shutdown device is stationary at the bottom of the nuclear reactor when the nuclear reactor is not triggering the passive emergency shutdown device. The lower end of the control rod is provided with a stabilizer and a restraint device, wherein the stabilizer is a counterweight device with ferromagnetic metal. During normal operation of the nuclear reactor, the passive emergency shutdown device is powered on, the device with the electromagnet adsorbs the stabilizer and fixes the control rod at the bottom of the nuclear reactor, and the ejection device is in a compressed state.
The magnitude of the electromagnetic force should be:
Fmagnetic field=ξ(FFloating body+FBullet-FHeavy load)
Wherein FMagnetic fieldIs an electromagnetic adsorption force, FHeavy loadTotal weight of control rod, stabilizer and restraint, FFloating bodyIs a control rod and is stableAnd restraining the total buoyancy received, FBulletThe elasticity of the spring, xi is a safety coefficient, and 1 is taken<ξ≤2。
When triggering passive emergency shutdown signal, the system cuts off the power supply, and the electromagnetic force disappears, and control rod atress is unbalanced this moment, and the control rod flies out from bottom to top under buoyancy and spring force effect, and acceleration during the fly-out is:
Figure BDA0003194931450000071
where a is the acceleration at which the control rod flies out, MStickIs the total mass of the control rod, the stabilizer and the restraint device. To ensure the smooth insertion of the control rods into the core, a guide is disposed at the bottom of the core for restraining the initial movement direction of the control rods, and the guide should be not higher than the tips of the control rods in the non-operating state as shown in fig. 1. The guide device can adopt a cylindrical tube structure or a double-ring structure, and the length of the cylindrical tube and the distance between the double rings are selected according to the length of the control rod. It should not be too large or too small. When the control rods are fully inserted into the core, the guide should not be lower than the bottom ends of the control rods, as shown in FIG. 2.
The ejection system ejects the control rod out of the control rod, the control rod does not take the elastic force action of the ejection device any more, the resistance borne by the control rod is gradually increased along with the increase of the speed of the control rod, the control rod reaches the maximum speed when the resultant force is 0, and then the control rod rises at the constant speed. The maximum speed of the control rod is:
Figure BDA0003194931450000072
wherein VmaxFor the maximum possible speed of the control rod, ε is the drag coefficient, which is related to the kinematic viscosity of the coolant.
When the control rod moves to the middle section, the guide means is weakened, and a stabilizer is disposed at the bottom end of the control rod in order to maintain the attitude and the movement direction of the control rod. The working principle of the stabilizer is shown in fig. 3, the stabilizer is a counterweight device with ferromagnetic metal, the density of the counterweight device is as much as possible greater than that of the control rod, so that the lower end of the control rod is subjected to small resultant force, the upper end of the control rod is subjected to large resultant force, and when the control rod tilts in a reaction mode, the upper end resultant force generates larger torque to enable the control rod to restore to the vertical state again.
As shown in fig. 2, when the control rods move to the end, the guide means is substantially deactivated, and the restraining means is connected to the bottom ends of the control rods in addition to the stabilizer in order to restrain the final state of the control rods. The restraining means maintains the position of the control rods after the control rods are inserted into the core so as not to be deflected or float, and the lower end of the restraining means is flexibly restrained so as to maintain the stable state of the balloon, in analogy to the floating state of the balloon in the air. And the lead-based fast reactor has higher operating temperature and certain corrosivity, and common materials are difficult to apply to the environment. The metal wire is too thin and easily broken, and too thick and flexible to easily interfere with the movement of the control rod at the control rod lifting stage, so a chain structure should be adopted.
When the passive emergency shutdown device finishes the restart stage after the shutdown task, the driving device can retract the restraint device through the driving motor, the guide device, the restraint device and the stabilizer still keep the original functions in the retraction process, and then the ejection device is compressed under the traction of the driving device and the restraint device to be in an energy storage state and fixed at the bottom end through the electromagnet. The motor stops working, the restraint device is released, and the system recovers the initial state. It is to be noted that the containment device should be in a relaxed state after it has been restored to its initial condition, in order to ensure that the control rods are inserted into the core as quickly as possible during a passive emergency shutdown.
As shown in fig. 3, the present invention further provides a control method of a passive shutdown device, comprising the following steps:
when a non-energy passive emergency shutdown signal is triggered, the loop of the electromagnetic device is powered off, the electromagnetic force of the stabilizer 3 disappears, and the control rod is ejected out by the spring;
when the nuclear reactor is restarted by triggering, the starting mechanism works to withdraw the restraint device 4, the stabilizer 3 is electrified to generate electromagnetic force to fix the control rod 1 at the bottom, and the driving device 5 releases the restraint device 4 after the fixation is completed, so that the tension of the restraint device 4 disappears.
Triggering a logic circuit of the passive shutdown device, the passive ejection device, posture correction, posture and position restraint and completing system restoration after passive shutdown; the passive shutdown device comprises the following working steps:
s1, in the initial stage, namely when the passive emergency shutdown is not triggered, the stabilizer 3 fixes the control rod at the bottom of the nuclear reactor by using electromagnetic force, and at the moment, the restraint device 4 has no tension;
s2, when a passive emergency shutdown is triggered, the electromagnetic force of the stabilizer 4 disappears, the ejection device 2 ejects the control rod, the attitude of the control rod 1 is stabilized by the guide device 7 at the initial stage after the control rod 1 is ejected, the attitude and the motion track of the control rod 1 can be well maintained under the action of initial kinetic energy, and the control rod 1 is inserted into the reactor along a preset track;
s3, in the middle period after the control rod 1 is popped up, the slender control rod 1 easily loses the vertical posture under the action of buoyancy, the stabilizer is used as a counterweight to change the gravity center position of the control rod so as to adjust the posture of the control rod, and the middle section where the control rod 1 is inserted needs to be jointly participated in controlling the posture and the movement track of the control rod 1 by the guide device 7 and the stabilizer 3;
s4, at the end of the control rod 1 after being ejected, the constraint device 4 provides tension and the stabilizer 3 to jointly participate in controlling the posture and the motion trail of the control rod 1;
s5, after the passive emergency shutdown is completed, the system should be kept stable and static, and the system is prepared to be recovered after the power supply is recovered;
and S6, after the power supply is recovered and the restarting signal is received, the driving device 5 pulls the restraint device 4 to pull back the control rod 1, in the process, the guide device 7 is used for keeping the control rod 1 in the posture at the initial stage of the restoration process, the guide device 7 and the stabilizer 3 are used for keeping the control rod 7 in the posture at the middle stage of the restoration, and the stabilizer 3 and the restraint device 4 are used for keeping the control rod 7 in the posture at the end stage of the restoration and finally stabilizing the control rod at the bottom of the reactor core to wait for the next task.
