The close adjustment member 142 is preferably provided with an elastic means (S) is configured so that excessive tightening force does not act on the workpiece (W). In addition, the auxiliary plate 144 may be provided between the adhesion adjusting member 142 and the work W so that a uniform tightening force is applied to the work W.

In addition, the workpiece biting jig 140 is a support member 143 is formed with an opening through which the pipes (P1, P2) so as to stably support the pipes (P1, P2) when the workpiece (W) is cut / dismantled ) May be further provided.

Meanwhile, the workpiece bite jig 140 is clamped as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B to more stably support the pipes P1 and P2 so that the impact transmitted to the pipes P1 and P2 is minimized during cutting. Means 146 may be provided.

Next, FIGS. 12A and 12B show an example of a workpiece bite jig 140 for mounting a cylindrical workpiece W, such as a pipe P or an irradiation capsule. 12A and 12B, the jig body 141 has a space for supporting the tube, and the clamping member 146 is tightened through the close adjustment member 142 to fix the cylindrical work W. It becomes possible. At this time, it is preferable that the elastic means S is installed in the clamping member 146 so that the excessive tightening force by the clamping member 146 is not applied to the work W. On the other hand, since the configuration of the mounting mechanism 145 and the like is the same as in Figures 10a and 11a will be omitted detailed description.

Finally, FIGS. 13A and 13B illustrate an example of the workpiece bite jig 140 for fixing the support grid A when the support grid A is cut as the work W. FIG.

As such, the workpiece biting jig unit 140 to which the workpiece is fixed is mounted to the workpiece conveying unit 120 using a crane or a robot. At this time, the fixing protrusion 125a of the jig fixing member 125 is fitted into a fixing groove (not shown) formed in the jig body 141 so that the mounting mechanism 145 is mounted in a state where the jig body 141 is adjusted. It rotates about the rotating shaft member 145a to contact the fixing groove 125b of the jig fixing member 125, and in this state, the handle 145b of the mounting mechanism 145 is rotated, and the jig fixing member 125 and the jig are rotated. Ensure a solid coupling of the body (141).

Thereafter, the workpiece transfer part 120 is transferred to the cutting part 150 to adjust the cutting position. At this time, the transfer of the workpiece through the workpiece transfer unit 120 may be made in a state that covers the anti-fouling cover 170 so that the cutting oil or the cutting chip does not move to a large area inside the hot cell.

On the other hand, in order to adjust the precise cutting position of the workpiece (W) can be used up and down adjustment unit 159 and / or workpiece rotation unit 130.

When the cutting position of the work W is adjusted, the rotary cutting mechanism 153 of the cutting part 150 is driven and the cutting feed part 160 is operated to gradually move the cutting part 150 toward the work W side. Cutting of (W) is performed, and in this process it is preferable to spray the cutting oil to the rotary cutting mechanism 153 through the cutting oil supply unit 180. In addition, the injected cutting oil falls to the scrap processing unit 190 together with the cutting chip (scrap), and the cutting oil passing through the separation hole 192 of the scrap collection tank 191 is recovered to the water tank 185 to pump 181. It is reused to supply coolant through).

Meanwhile, the driving of the various drive motors 121a, 131a, 151a, and 161a provided in the workpiece transfer part 120, the workpiece rotation part 130, the cutting part 150, and the cutting transfer part 160 may be performed using a control box (control unit) installed outside the hot cell. Is performed by adjusting In addition, the workpiece (W) is mounted on the workpiece bite jig unit 140, or the workpiece bite jig 140 is detached to the workpiece conveying unit 120, the opening and closing of the pollution prevention cover 170, scrap processing unit 190 Removal of scrap from the work is performed by remotely controlling the crane or robot installed inside the hot cell from the outside of the hot cell.
