Description

Nuclear fuel assembly positioning grid work based on 3D printing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear fuel assemblies, in particular to a nuclear fuel assembly positioning grid frame based on 3D printing.
Technical Field
The spacer grid is used as a key component of the nuclear fuel assembly, plays a role in suspending, clamping and positioning the nuclear reaction fuel rods, so that the fuel rods keep a proper distance, and the structural integrity and the reactor safety of the fuel rods are greatly influenced by the performance of the spacer grid. In the nuclear fuel chain reaction process, because the rivers that need play moderator and coolant effect carry out fast-speed washing away to nuclear fuel assembly to and the irradiation easily leads to adding of grillwork to hold the power and reduce, spacer grid itself needs to have certain intensity, can the centre gripping and support the fuel rod and bear the influence of rivers power and irradiation, avoids the drunkenness of fuel rod, and can also play certain water conservancy diversion effect to high-speed rivers. In addition, because the nuclear fuel assemblies have high transverse flexibility, the nuclear fuel assemblies can only be vertically installed in a hoisting mode in actual installation to prevent excessive lateral deformation, and at the moment, because the distance between the adjacent fuel assemblies is extremely small, an interference phenomenon is easy to occur between the assemblies, and the positioning grids are required to have good installation guiding effect.
In the design of the existing positioning grillwork, the positioning grillwork basically consists of an inner strip structure and an outer strip structure, an inclined spring or a rigid convex structure is arranged on a plate-shaped main body of an inner unit, a mixing wing is arranged at the edge, and various inner strips are reasonably arranged to change a hydraulic field; the plate-shaped main body of the outer strip is similar to the inner strip, and the edge of the plate-shaped main body is generally provided with guide wings to play roles in guiding flow and facilitating the installation of adjacent grillworks. On one hand, the design makes the inner and outer strip structures more complex, and the existing manufacturing scheme usually adopts a plurality of moulds for material reduction or equal material manufacturing, so that the production process cost is too high, and once the characteristics of the grid frame are modified, most of the moulds are required to be produced again; on the other hand, the traditional strip design scheme is easy to ensure that the distance between the inner strip and the surface of the fuel rod is very small (the minimum distance is only about 1.5 mm), thus easily causing the local deficiency of the cooling water flow and the poor cooling and reaction slowing effects; the arrangement of the mixing wings and the guiding wings can also enable the interior of the grids to generate larger flow resistance, and the flow resistance of the area between the adjacent grids is smaller, so that the water pressure difference exists between the inner side and the outer side of the outer strip of the positioning grid, the outer strip of the positioning grid is further in a hydraulic stress state for a long time, and the risk of deformation of the positioning grid is increased.
