Description

Foot type robot for overhauling heat transfer tubes of multi-specification steam generators
Technical Field
The invention relates to an overhaul robot, in particular to a foot type robot for overhauling heat transfer tubes of multi-specification steam generators. Belonging to the field of equipment maintenance.
Background
With the increasing prominence of energy and environmental problems, nuclear power is widely regarded by countries all over the world by the characteristics of environmental protection, cleanness, stability and relative safety, and a pressurized water reactor unit structure realizes the heat energy exchange of a primary loop and a secondary loop through the special structural design of a steam generator (SG for short), and simultaneously seals nuclear radiation substances in the primary loop, thereby ensuring that the devices of the secondary loop are not polluted by nuclear radiation in the normal operation process of the unit. Therefore, the working performance of the steam generator is the key for realizing the efficient energy transfer and preventing nuclear radiation pollution of the two-loop unit equipment. High-performance steam generator heat transfer tube overhaul robots such as PEGASYS and ROSA-III, ZR100 and SM-23G are developed at present, and China depends heavily on foreign products in related fields, so that the design and manufacture of more excellent SG heat transfer tube overhaul robot equipment with independent intellectual property rights have great research significance and industrial value.
The existing maintenance robots are mainly divided into a fixed mounting type and a tube plate crawling type, the fixed mounting type maintenance robots represented by ROSA-III and SM-23G are serially connected mechanical arms, most of the robots need to be fixed at the bottoms of manholes and SG, the size of the robots needs to be increased when the coverage range of the robots is large, and the positioning deviation of end tools is easily caused by the accumulated error of a serial structure. The existing pipe plate crawling type maintenance robot PEGASYS is arranged on a pipe plate through positioning and clamping mechanisms, and the walking function is realized through the alternate action of the two groups of positioning and clamping mechanisms. The maintenance robot has the advantages of simple design structure, higher precision and convenient operation. However, since the movement mode is fixed, the movement efficiency is low and the adaptability is low. And because the tool module and the robot body are fixedly installed, no extra degree of freedom exists, and therefore, the full coverage of the maintenance operation is difficult to realize.
In the prior art, the ZR100 pipeline plate crawling type maintenance robot also realizes robot crawling through a positioning and clamping mechanism and two motion degrees of freedom of translation and rotation, but can reach different angle positions during rotation, and two degrees of freedom exist between a tool module and a robot body, so that the working efficiency is improved. But the adaptability to different models of tube plates is still low due to the fixed configuration of the robot.
Based on the current state of SG heat transfer pipe maintenance robot equipment in China and aiming at the problems, a foot type robot for the maintenance of the heat transfer pipes of the steam generators with multiple specifications is designed, and the characteristic of flexible movement of the foot type robot is utilized, so that the invention has flexible and various movement modes, improves the maintenance operation efficiency and greatly improves the self-adaptive capacity of the invention when facing SG pipe plates with different models.

2. The invention has 18 motion degrees of freedom, wherein 10 active continuous motion degrees of freedom and 4 passive continuous motion degrees of freedom are provided, and the 10 active motion degrees of freedom are all driven by a motor. The 14 continuous motion degrees of freedom enable the invention to have larger continuous working space, and the motion mode is flexible, and free and flexible continuous motion can be carried out in the working space. Due to the fact that the positions of the pipe holes are discrete, the continuous working space can effectively adapt to steam generators of any specification.
3. The invention has a four-foot configuration during walking, can carry out flexible walking movement according to the characteristics of the four-foot robot, and can adapt to the limitations of obstacles, hole blockage and non-drop foot positions under various conditions to a great extent.
4. The parallel robot can be equivalent to a 2-RRR-RR, 3-RRR-RR and 4-RRR-RR series-parallel robot during working, the parallel structure part has high rigidity and positioning accuracy according to the characteristics of the parallel robot, and the series part can effectively increase the whole working space. Therefore, the invention not only has high rigidity and positioning precision, but also has high operation coverage capability and operation efficiency.
5. The invention relates to a plane hybrid robot, wherein the parallel part can realize the motion of any position and attitude of three degrees of freedom of a plane, the series part has two degrees of freedom and can realize the positioning motion of two degrees of freedom of the plane, so that the plane hybrid robot has high redundancy, can realize the movement while the positioning operation of a tool, and greatly improves the operation efficiency.
6. The invention arranges the lifting freedom degree at the tail end of the leg part, so that the movement of the toes entering and exiting the pipe holes is only related to the tail end of the leg part, thereby not influencing the integral movement, ensuring that the integral structure is always in the same plane, and greatly reducing the influence of the inertia force generated by the movement on the control and the pipe plate.
7. The mixed connection freedom degree configuration of the invention enables more pipe holes to be overhauled when each toe of the robot is positioned and clamped at one position, and each toe can be independently positioned to other pipe holes, thereby greatly reducing the positioning and clamping actions of the robot toe on the pipe plate, reducing the risk of damage of the pipe plate caused by positioning and clamping, and prolonging the service life of the pipe holes.
8. The invention has clear design of freedom of movement, and the driving part, the transmission part and the corresponding control part of each freedom of movement are designed and installed in a centralized way, thereby being beneficial to the modularized upgrade of the movement function structure and being convenient for daily use, maintenance, disassembly and assembly.

Principle of operation
The present invention has 6 single freedom motion actions, 3 kinds of linkage actions with small freedom and 6 kinds of linkage actions with multiple freedom for working.
The single degree of freedom motion of the invention comprises hip joint swing: rotational movement between the leg module 2 and the base module 1; the knee joint swings: rotational movement between the first leg joint module 9 and the second leg joint module 10; toe rotation: rotational movement between the leg two joint module 10 and the lifting toe module 18; lifting toes: a lifting movement between the leg two-joint module 10 and the toe module 19; swinging of the shoulder joint: rotational movement between the jib module 3 and the base module 1; the elbow joint swings: rotational movement between the tool module 35 and the work arm-joint housing 30.
The action principles of 6 single-degree-of-freedom motions of the invention are respectively explained:
the hip joint swings and is driven by a hip joint motor module 7, the shell of the hip joint motor module 7 is fixed in the base module 1, and the output end of the hip joint motor module 7 is fixed with the leg module 2. The whole rotation of the leg module 2 can be driven by the rotation of the motor.
The knee joint swings, and is driven by the knee joint motor module 11, the shell of the knee joint motor module 11 is fixed in the first leg joint module 9, and the output end of the knee joint motor module 11 is fixed with the second leg joint module 10. The rotation of the motor can drive the whole rotation of the two-joint module 10 of the leg.
The rotational degree of freedom of the toes is a passive degree of freedom, two thin-wall bearings 16 are arranged between the two-joint shell 14 of the leg and the lifting toe module 18, and when the lifting toe module 18 is fixed, the swinging of the hip joint and the knee joint of the leg module 2 can enable the two-joint shell 14 of the leg to perform passive rotational motion.
The toes rise and fall through air drive. A toe-lifting cylinder 22 and a toe-lifting piston 21 are provided at the bottom of the lifting toe module 18. The toe-raising/lowering piston 21 is pneumatically controlled to perform a raising/lowering motion in the toe-raising/lowering cylinder 22. The toe lifting piston 21 is connected with the toe module 19, and drives the toe module 19 to move up and down together when the toe lifting piston 21 moves up and down.
The shoulder joint swings and is driven by the shoulder joint motor module 8, the shell of the shoulder joint motor module 8 is fixed in the base module 1, and the output end of the shoulder joint motor module 8 is fixed with the operation arm module 3. The whole rotation of the operation arm module 3 can be driven through the rotation of the motor.
The elbow joint swings, and is driven through elbow joint motor module 32, and the shell of elbow joint motor module 32 is fixed in operation arm a joint shell 30, and the output of elbow joint motor module 32 is fixed with instrument module 35 through connecting pneumatic quick change coupler male head 33 and pneumatic quick change coupler female head 34. The tool module 35 can be rotated integrally by the motor.
The 3 basic actions of the invention are formed by combining the actions of the 6 single-degree-of-freedom motions, and comprise leg swing: the leg module 2 is moved from one fixed position to the next; base movement: the base module 1 moves from one fixed position to the next; the operation arm swings: the end working portion of the tool module 35 is moved from one location to another.
The working principles of the 3 basic actions of the present invention are explained separately:
the leg swings and is driven by the hip joint motor module 7 and the knee joint motor module 11. The hip joint motor module 7 can rotate to drive the whole leg module 2 to swing, and meanwhile, the knee joint motor module 11 can rotate to drive the leg two-joint module 10 to swing relative to the leg one-joint module 9, so that the two-dimensional positioning motion of the leg module 2 in a plane space is realized.
The motion of the base is formed by linkage motion of more than two fixed leg modules 2, when toe modules 19 of the two leg modules 2 extend into tube holes of a heat transfer tube and are tightly gripped, the toe modules 19 are fixed in the heat transfer tube and form a 2-RRR parallel robot with the base module 1, and at the moment, the leg modules 2 fixed by the two toe modules 19 swing according to a kinematics model to drive the base module 1 to move and rotate. Likewise, a 3-RRR parallel robot would be formed when the toe modules 19 of three leg modules 2 are secured, and a 4-RRR parallel robot would be formed when the toe modules 19 of four leg modules 2 are secured. Because the three-degree-of-freedom planar parallel robot can move freely only by 3 driving modules, and the two leg modules 2 have 4 driving motor modules in total, the formed 2-RRR, 3-RRR and 4-RRR parallel robots have enough driving modules to enable the base module 1 to move in three degrees of freedom in a plane, including two translational degrees of freedom and one rotational degree of freedom.
The arm swings and is driven by the shoulder joint motor module 8 and the elbow joint motor module 32. The rotation of the shoulder joint motor module 8 can drive the swing of the whole operation arm module 3, and the rotation of the elbow joint motor module 32 can drive the swing of the tool module 35, so that the two-dimensional positioning motion of the tool module 35 in a plane space is realized.
The 5 working states of the invention are formed by the combination of the 3 linkage actions with a small degree of freedom, and comprise a static state: all 4 leg modules 2 are fixed; the three feet support the walking state: any 3 leg modules 2 are fixed, and one leg module 2 swings; the double feet support the walking state: any two leg modules 2 form a group, and the two groups of leg modules 2 are in walking states of alternately fixing and swinging; tool positioning state: movement of the base module 1 and the work arm module 3 in linkage to position the tool module 35 to a specified position; maintenance state: the tool module 35 waits a period of time after being positioned at the designated location for the tool to be serviced.
The working principle of 5 working states of the invention is explained respectively:
in the static state, the toes of the 4 leg modules 2 are all inserted into the heat transfer pipe holes and fixed, and the base module 1 does not move, and the work arm module 3 does not move. The static state can be converted into a three-foot supporting walking state, a two-foot supporting walking state and a tool positioning state, and can also return to the static state from the three-foot supporting walking state, the two-foot supporting walking state and the tool positioning state.
The three-foot supporting walking state comprises leg swinging movement of one leg module 2 and base movement of the base module 1 under the 3-RRR configuration parallel robot, and the movement can be 0, namely the state is static. Toe modules 19 of the 3 leg modules 2 are inserted into pipe holes of the heat transfer pipe and fixed, one leg module 2 swings, the base module 1 can perform base movement, the operation arm module 3 can perform obstacle avoidance movement according to the obstacle condition, and the leg modules 2 and external obstacles belong to obstacles of the operation arm module 3. The mode of adjusting from the static state to the three-foot supporting walking state is as follows: the toe module 19 of the leg module 2 which needs to swing is loosened from the heat transfer pipe hole, the toe lifting piston 21 performs descending motion under pneumatic control, so as to drive the toe module 19 to exit from the heat transfer pipe hole, and at this time, the leg module 2 can perform leg swinging motion, and the base module 1 can perform base motion. The mode of adjusting from the three-foot supporting walking state to the static state is as follows: the base module 1 is stationary after moving to a designated position through base movement, after the swinging leg module 2 moves to the designated position, the toe module 19 is inserted into the pipe hole of the heat transfer pipe under the driving of the toe lifting piston 21, and then the toe module 19 grasps the pipe hole for fixing. The three-foot supporting walking state can also be transited to a two-foot supporting walking state and a tool positioning state.
The biped walking state comprises 2 leg swinging motions of the leg module 2 and base motions of the base module 1 under the parallel robot with the 2-RRR configuration, and the motions can be 0, namely the static state under the state. Toe modules 19 of 2 leg modules 2 are inserted into pipe holes of the heat transfer pipe and fixed, the other 2 leg modules 2 swing, the base module 1 can perform base movement, the operation arm module 3 can perform obstacle avoidance movement according to the obstacle condition, and the leg modules 2 and external obstacles belong to obstacles of the operation arm module 3. The swinging leg modules 2 can be distributed along the diagonal line or along the same edge, and according to different selections, the motion range of the base module 1 is different, and the walking performance is different. The mode of adjusting from the static state to the biped supporting walking state is as follows: the toe modules 19 of any two leg modules 2 are loosened from the heat transfer pipe holes, the toe lifting pistons 21 make descending movement under pneumatic control, so that the toe modules 19 are driven to exit from the heat transfer pipe holes, at the moment, the leg modules 2 can make leg swinging movement, and meanwhile, the base module 1 can also make base movement, but the stress of the fixed toe modules 19 needs to be considered in the transition, so that the proper leg modules 2 need to be selected to swing under certain conditions. The mode of adjusting from the biped supporting walking state to the static state is as follows: the base module 1 is stationary after moving to a designated position through base movement, after the swinging leg module 2 moves to the designated position, the toe module 19 is inserted into the pipe hole of the heat transfer pipe under the driving of the toe lifting piston 21, and then the toe module 19 grasps the pipe hole for fixing. The mode of adjusting from the three-foot supporting walking state to the two-foot supporting walking state is as follows: one of the leg modules 2 fixed by the 3 toe modules 19 is selected to enable the toe module 19 to be loosened from a heat transfer pipe hole, the toe lifting piston 21 is controlled pneumatically to move downwards, so that the toe module 19 is driven to be withdrawn from the heat transfer pipe hole, at the moment, the two leg modules 2 can perform leg swinging movement, and meanwhile, the base module 1 can also perform base movement. The mode of adjusting from the biped supporting walking state to the tripodia supporting walking state is as follows: after one of the swinging leg modules 2 moves to a designated position, the toe module 19 is driven by the toe lifting piston 21 to be inserted into a pipe hole of the heat transfer pipe, then the toe module 19 grasps the pipe hole to be fixed, and at the moment, the remaining leg module 2 can perform leg swinging movement, and the base module 1 can perform base movement. The biped support walking state can also be transited to the tool positioning state.
In the tool positioning state, the toes of 2 or more leg modules 2 are inserted into the holes of the heat transfer pipe and fixed, the base module 1 performs base movement, and the work arm module 3 moves, so that the tool module 35 is positioned at a position to be repaired. The tool positioning state can be converted into other working states, and the other working states can also be returned to the tool positioning state. The way of adjusting from the rest state to the tool positioning state is: the base module 1 performs base movements in a 4-RRR parallel robot configuration, and the work arm module 3 swings to position the tool module 35 to the location to be serviced. The adjustment from the tool positioning state to the rest state is carried out in the following manner: the base module 1 stops moving and the jib module 3 stops moving. The mode of adjusting from the three-foot supporting walking state to the tool positioning state is as follows: the swinging leg module 2 stops moving, the base module 1 performs base movement under the 3-RRR parallel robot configuration, and the work arm module 3 swings to position the tool module 35 to the position to be overhauled. The mode of adjusting from the tool positioning state to the three-foot supporting walking state is as follows: the work arm module 3 stops moving and the leg module 2 with the unfixed toe module 19 continues to swing and the base module 1 continues to perform the base movement. The mode of adjusting from the biped supporting walking state to the tool positioning state is as follows: the 2 swinging leg modules 2 stop moving, the base module 1 performs base movement under the configuration of a 2-RRR parallel robot, and the working arm module 3 swings to position the tool module 35 to a position to be overhauled. The mode of adjusting from the tool positioning state to the biped supporting walking state is as follows: the work arm module 3 stops moving, the two leg modules 2 with the toe module 19 unsecured continue swinging and the base module 1 continues the base movement.
In the maintenance state, the toes of 2 or more leg modules 2 are inserted into the heat transfer pipe holes and fixed, and the tool module 35 is positioned to a predetermined position for maintenance work. The leg module 2 with the toe module 19 not fixed can also perform a swinging movement; the base module 1 and the working arm module 3 can move or be static; during movement, the movement of the two modules needs to be matched with each other to ensure that the position of the tool module 35 cannot be changed, and because the operation arm module 3 has two degrees of freedom, planar two-degree-of-freedom positioning can be performed, so that when the base module 1 moves within a certain range, the position of the tool module 35 cannot be changed through the movement of the operation arm module 3. In the maintenance state, various working states except the tool positioning state can be performed. Realizing a static state in a maintenance state: all toe modules 19 of the four leg modules 2 are inserted into heat transfer pipe holes and fixed, and the base module 1 and the work arm module 3 are stationary. The three-foot supporting walking state is realized in the maintenance state: the toe modules 19 of any three leg modules 2 are fixed in the heat transfer tube holes, and one leg module 2 swings, requiring the working arm module 3 to move in coordination with each other when the base module 1 moves, to ensure that the position where the tool module 35 is positioned does not change. The double-foot supporting walking state is realized in the maintenance state: the toe modules 19 of any two leg modules 2 are fixed in the heat transfer tube holes, and the other two leg modules 2 swing, so that the working arm module 3 needs to move in cooperation when the base module 1 moves, so as to ensure that the position where the tool module 35 is positioned cannot be changed. In the maintenance state, switching of various working states except the tool positioning state and the maintenance state can be realized, and the switching mode is consistent with the above. The mode of adjusting from the tool positioning state to the maintenance state is as follows: the position of the tool module 35 is guaranteed not to be changed, and the tool module 35 can be maintained. The mode of adjusting from the maintenance state to the tool positioning state is as follows: the arm module 3 and the base module 1 are moved so that the tool module 35 is positioned in a predetermined working position.
The flexible crawling movement of the invention on the SG tube plate is realized by the alternate combination of the static state, the three-foot supporting walking state and the two-foot supporting walking state, and simultaneously, the swinging movement of the leg module 2 is continuous, so that the relative position between each toe module 19 can have the capability of adapting to the SG tube plate of any model; similarly, the position of the tool module 35 can be continuously changed through the tool positioning state and the maintenance state, so that the tool module has the capability of adapting to any model SG tube plate, and the flexible positioning of maintenance tools on any model SG tube plate can be realized. In conclusion, the invention has higher movement flexibility and operation efficiency, and has stronger self-adaptive capacity when facing SG tube plates of different models.
