The fuel assembly is in a high-temperature, high-pressure and high-radiation environment for a long time during the operation of the reactor core, and can be bent, twisted and the like. When loading and unloading, fuel assembly is transported to the fuel factory building by the reactor core factory building, and in the transportation process, fuel assembly can overturn basket department in fuel factory building side and promote supreme spacing through the spentnuclear fuel operation instrument. In view of the current material loading and unloading situation of the nuclear power station, the situation that the time window for loading and unloading materials is prolonged due to deformation of the fuel assembly occurs occasionally, the economic benefit of the nuclear power station is seriously influenced, and the deformed fuel assembly easily scrapes surrounding assemblies to cause potential safety risks to the operation of the nuclear power station. Therefore, it is necessary to measure and detect the deformation of the fuel assembly.
At present, domestic nuclear power practitioners realize fuel assembly deformation measurement through various technical methods, and can be divided into a pool edge measurement method and an on-line measurement method according to whether the fuel assembly deformation measurement is completed during loading and unloading.

The ground height adjusting block 5 makes the axis of the clamping rod 2 perpendicular to the horizontal plane, i.e. the perpendicularity of the clamping rod 2 is ensured, so that the laser emitted by the laser generator 31 of each measuring head 3 is horizontally projected. In order to realize three-dimensional measurement of the fuel assembly 8 to be measured, after the fuel assembly on-line measuring device is installed and fixed at a measuring station, the laser generator 31 of each measuring head 3 corresponds to a long edge on the peripheral profile of the fuel assembly 8 to be measured, so that laser emitted by the laser generator 31 of each measuring head 3 can be horizontally projected onto two surfaces of the fuel assembly 8 to be measured, which are adjacent to the long edge, and the other two surfaces of the fuel assembly 8 to be measured are symmetrical with the long edge, so that the three-dimensional overall surface condition of the fuel assembly 8 to be measured can be obtained.
