【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、沸騰水型原子炉(BWR)の圧力容器の底部の溶接部等の点検検査、予防保全、補修作業等を行う炉底部作業装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
沸騰水型原子炉の底部は図6のようになっている。すなわち圧力容器1にスタブチューブ2が取り付けられ、スタブチューブ2にCRD(制御棒駆動機構)ハウジング3が取り付けられ、このCRDハウジング3の上に制御棒案内管4が設けられている。CRDハウジング3は圧力容器1を貫通している。
【0003】
このような構成の炉底部での作業は、作業装置を挿入するために目的とする場所の燃料集合体、制御棒案内管4、燃料支持金具、制御棒ならびに制御棒駆動機構を取り外した後、作業装置を当該場所に設置したのち、作業装置を遠隔で動作させて行っている。
【0004】
例えば特開平9−288197号公報には、燃料集合体、制御棒案内管、燃料支持金具、制御棒ならびに制御棒駆動機構を取り外した後、先端にテレビカメラを取りつけた一方向のみに屈曲し得る線条タイプのガイド体を押し込むことによって広範囲の検査等を行う炉底部作業装置および作業方法が記載されている。
【0005】
また特開平7−63879号公報には、炉内構造物を取り外した後、中性子束モニタハウジングを把持し周回駆動する作業機構を装置本体から繰り出し、中性子束モニタハウジングの補修点検を行う炉内遠隔作業装置が記載されている。
【0006】
しかしながら、特開平9−288197号公報に記載された装置は1個所から挿入し広い範囲で作業可能であるが、炉底部の溶接部であるスタブチューブ2と圧力容器1のあいだの溶接部とスタブチューブ2とCRDハウジング3のあいだの溶接部のうち、スタブチューブ2とCRDハウジング3のあいだの溶接部には寸法的に適用が困難であるうえに、磨き作業のように反力を受ける作業には適さない。
【0007】
一方、特開平7−63879号公報に記載された装置は反力を受ける作業も位置精度よく施工可能であるが、1箇所の設置により作業できる範囲が限定される。この炉内遠隔作業装置は、1回の設置作業で、炉底部の広範囲で、目的とされる溶接部に、反力を受けながら精度良く保全作業を行うことが出来ない。

【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】

【0016】
走行車輪13は駆動ユニット14で駆動される。スライドアーム11a,11bはベースボディ8および対称ボディ9内にスライドして収納されるようになっている。対称ボディ9はベースボディ8と同等の機能を有する。リンク機構10は2つのリンクアームを有し、関節にはリンク角度を変化させ制御する関節駆動装置(図示せず)を備えている。ベースボディ8および対称ボディ9には磨き作業や目視検査作業を行う作業ユニット15が設けられている。図2は対称ボディ9がリンク機構10の操作によってベースボディ8の上方へ反転移動させられた状態を示している。
【0017】
このような構成の作業装置本体6は、図3に示すように1箇所の制御棒案内管4を抜いたスペースからワイヤ7によって吊り下げられてCRDハウジング3の外周部へ降ろされる。そしてスライドアーム11a,11bとリンク機構10を動作させてCRDハウジング3の外周部を伝ってスタブチューブ2との溶接部近傍まで移動する。さらに、作業装置本体6の水平移動機能によって隣接するCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2へ移動し必要な検査や作業を行う。
【0018】
この第1の実施の形態の炉底部作業装置は、BWR炉底部への挿入時はスライドアーム11a,11bをベースボディ8および対称ボディ9に収納し、対称ボディ9をベースボディ8に重ねた形状にする。このようにすることによって外形が小さくなり、ワイヤ7で吊下げるなどの手段により、最少で1箇所の燃料集合体、制御棒案内管、燃料支持金具、制御棒ならびに制御棒駆動機構を取り外すことによって炉底部に設置することができる。
【0019】
炉底部作業時は、スライドアーム11a,11bをCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外側に巻き付けることにより、回転移動はもちろんのこと反力を受ける作業も行うことができる。さらに、リンク機構10の操作により上下移動し、あるいは隣接するCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2へ移動して必要な検査や作業を行うことができる。
【0020】
次に図4を参照して本発明の第2の実施の形態を説明する。本実施の形態の炉底部作業装置は、2台の作業モジュール20aと、これらの作業モジュール20aの間に連結された2台の連結モジュール20bからなる。作業モジュール20aおよび連結モジュール20bはそれぞれ走行ボディ23と押付けボディ25を備えている。
【0021】
走行ボディ23の上下には走行具である走行ベルト21が設けられ駆動装置22によって回転移動する。押付けボディ25には押付け具である押付け用ベルト24が設けられ自由に回転する。押付けボディ25を走行ボディ23に対して平行を保ちながら近づけたり離したりするため伸縮装置26が設けられている。伸縮装置26の駆動のために走行ボディ23には伸縮装置駆動機構(図示せず)が設けられている。
【0022】
作業モジュール20aと連結モジュール20bの連結部には連結部関節角度駆動装置27が設けられ、遠隔操作により角度を自由に変えられるようになっている。この構成によってCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外周に走行ベルト21を押付けて巻き付くことができる。また、押付け用ベルト24を隣接するCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外周に押付けて摩擦力により落下防止を行うとともに、走行ベルト21により水平移動することができる。
【0023】
この第2の実施の形態の炉底部作業装置は、BWR炉底部への挿入時は、押付けボディ25を走行ボディ23側に引き寄せた形で厚みを小さくし、さらに装置全体を屈曲させた円弧形状にして、ワイヤで吊下げるなどの手段により、最少で1箇所の燃料集合体、制御棒案内管、燃料支持金具、制御棒ならびに制御棒駆動機構を取り外すことによって炉底部に設置することができる。
【0024】
炉底部作業時は、CRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外周に走行ベルト21を押付けて巻き付くことにより、回転移動はもちろんのこと反力を受ける作業も行うことができる。また、押付け用ベルト24を隣接するCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外周に押付けて摩擦力により落下防止を行うとともに、走行ベルト21により水平移動を行うことができる。これらの一連の動作により炉底部の任意の作業対象部位へ移動して作業することができる。
【0025】
さらにこの第2の実施の形態の炉底部作業装置においては、作業モジュール20aは作業ユニット28を備え、回転砥石またはブラシ28a及びテレビカメラ28bが伸縮アーム28c先端に取り付けられている。伸縮アーム28cは電動モータ、空気圧シリンダ、水圧シリンダ等の動力源によって自在に伸縮する。
【0026】
このような構成によれば、作業ユニット28の回転砥石またはブラシ28aとテレビカメラ28bをスタブチューブ2と炉底部の溶接部のように低く狭隘な作業部位に対して移動可能であり、広範囲にわたって効率良く作業することができる。前記第1の実施の形態の炉底部作業装置においても、この作業ユニット28を備える構成とすることができる。
なおこの第2の実施の形態においては、作業モジュール20aは1台でもよく、連結モジュール20bは2台のほか1台、3台等でもよい。
【0027】
次に、図5を参照して本発明の第3の実施の形態を説明する。この第3の実施の形態の炉底部作業装置は相互に連結された複数の作業装置ユニット30からなり、作業装置ユニット30のユニット本体32の両側に押付け走行具である押付け走行ベルト31が取り付けられ、押付け走行ベルト31を駆動する駆動装置(図示せず)が設けられている。
【0028】
ユニット本体32にはまた伸縮装置33が設けられ、この伸縮装置33によって押付け走行ベルト31を両側に押し出し及び引き戻しする。ユニット本体32の連結部には連結部関節上下駆動装置34が設けられ、連結した他のユニット本体を上下駆動と関節部の回転駆動を行う。ユニット本体32にはまた、図示していないが、炉底部の点検や補修を行う作業ユニットも設けられている。
【0029】
この第3の実施の形態の炉底部作業装置は、BWR炉底部への挿入時は、押付け走行ベルト31をユニット本体32側に引き寄せた形で厚みを小さくし、さらに装置全体を屈曲させた形状にしワイヤで吊下げるなどの手段により、最少で1箇所の燃料集合体、制御棒案内管、燃料支持金具、制御棒ならびに制御棒駆動機構を取り外すことによって炉底部に設置することができる。
【0030】
炉底部作業時は、CRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外周に押付け走行ベルト31を押付けて反力を受ける作業も行うことができる。また、押付け走行ベルト31を隣接するCRDハウジング3またはスタブチューブ2の外周に押付けて摩擦力により落下防止を行うとともに、押付け走行ベルト31により水平移動を行うことができる。さらに、連結部関節上下駆動装置34を動作させて垂直方向へ移動することもできる。これらの一連の動作により炉底部の任意の作業対象部位へ移動して作業することができる。
【0031】
【発明の効果】

When the furnace bottom working device of the third embodiment is inserted into the BWR furnace bottom, the thickness is reduced by pulling the pressing traveling belt 31 toward the unit body 32, and the entire device is bent. The fuel assembly, control rod guide tube, fuel support bracket, control rod, and control rod drive mechanism can be removed and installed at the bottom of the furnace by a means such as hanging with a wire.
[0030]
At the time of furnace bottom work, a work of receiving a reaction force by pressing the traveling belt 31 against the outer periphery of the CRD housing 3 or the stub tube 2 can also be performed. Further, the pressing traveling belt 31 can be pressed against the outer periphery of the adjacent CRD housing 3 or stub tube 2 to prevent the falling by the frictional force, and can be moved horizontally by the pressing traveling belt 31. Further, the joint joint vertical drive device 34 can be operated to move in the vertical direction. By a series of these operations, it is possible to move to an arbitrary work target site on the furnace bottom and work.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, there is provided a furnace bottom working device capable of performing operations such as removal of a small number of control rod guide tubes and the like or inspection and inspection of a wide range of the furnace bottom and repairing with a small number of installations of the working device on the furnace bottom. Can be provided.
