Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be apparent that the described embodiment is one embodiment of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention without any inventive step, are within the scope of protection of the invention.

It is to be noted that technical terms or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning as understood by those having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs, unless otherwise defined. If the description "first", "second", etc. is referred to throughout, the description of "first", "second", etc. is used only for distinguishing similar objects, and is not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance, order or number of technical features indicated, it being understood that the data described in "first", "second", etc. may be interchanged where appropriate. Furthermore, spatially relative terms, such as "above," "below," "top," "bottom," and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's spatial relationship to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures, and should be understood to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures.

In the related art, a radioactive sample container for storing an irradiated target is a sealed container having gas flow lines at upper and lower ends thereof, and an electromagnetic valve is disposed on the gas flow line to control the on/off of the gas flow line. When the process device is used for processing, an air inlet pipeline and an air outlet pipeline of the process device are respectively in sealing butt joint with two gas circulation pipelines of the radioactive sample container. Since the above operation has a radiation risk, the sealed docking between the pipelines is achieved by using a robot in the related art. However, since the size of the pipeline to be butted is small, finding the butted pipeline and hermetically butting the two corresponding pipelines makes the operation difficult for the manipulator.

Accordingly, the inventors of the present application have improved the radioactive sample container in the related art, and have provided the radioactive sample container in a vertically penetrating structure, and provided sealing sheets (see sealing sheet 401 in fig. 1) at the upper opening and the lower opening, respectively, in order to prevent leakage of radioactive gas. Before the radioactive sample container is transported to the process device by the grabbing and transporting device, the sealing sheet can be perforated by an external perforating device, so that the interior of the radioactive sample container is communicated with the external environment through the perforation, and the radioactive sample or radioactive gas in the interior of the radioactive sample container can be treated by the process device.

In the related art, as shown in fig. 1, a radioactive sample container 400 is placed in a storage device 500 of a subsurface type well. The storage device 500 includes a sample receiving chamber having an upper opening for receiving the radioactive sample container 400, and a stopper 510 is provided at the upper opening of the sample receiving chamber to seal the sample receiving chamber. Before transferring the radioactive sample container 400, the stopper 510 of the storage device 500 needs to be removed by a robot arm having a grasping function. Since the modified radioactive sample container 400 needs to be perforated, an additional mechanical arm having a perforating function is required. However, it is too costly to perform the grasping and replacing operation of the stopper 510 of the storage apparatus 500 and the opening operation of the radioactive sample container by using both the robot arm having the grasping function and the robot arm having the opening function. In addition, the operation target can be aligned only by arranging the mechanical arm on the track at present, and if the mechanical arm and the operation target share the same track, the mechanical arm and the operation target interfere with each other, so that the working efficiency is low; if the two are separately provided with respective rails, the arrangement is inconvenient due to the limitation of the space of the site. Thus, the inventor of the present application has improved the grasping apparatus in the related art to be more suitable for the perforating operation of the modified radioactive sample container 400 and the grasping and replacing operation of the stopper body 510 of the storage apparatus 500.

As shown in fig. 2, the drilling and gripping device of the embodiment of the present application includes: a main body 10 and a grasping mechanism provided on the main body 10. Wherein the body 10 is configured to be movable in at least one direction in a horizontal direction, and a grasping mechanism for grasping the stopper 510 of the storage device 500 to expose the radioactive sample containers 400 stored in the storage device 500. It will be readily appreciated that the grasping mechanism may also replace the plug body 510 back into the storage device 500.

In some embodiments, the body 10 is configured to be movable along a transfer path to transfer the gripped plug bodies 510 to other areas for storage. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above-mentioned "transfer path" may be a preset moving path, that is, the hole-opening and gripping device can automatically move according to the preset moving path; or the moving path can be the moving path which can be remotely controlled by an operator to move the hole opening and grabbing device from the initial position to the target position; of course, it may also be a transfer rail along which the perforating and gripping device can be moved.

In order to open the radioactive sample container 400 after the modification, in particular, the opening and grasping apparatus of the embodiment of the present application further includes an opening mechanism disposed on the main body 10 for opening the radioactive sample container 400 in the storage apparatus 500 so as to communicate the inside of the radioactive sample container 400 with the external environment.

Thus, the puncturing and grasping apparatus according to the embodiment of the present application can perform the puncturing operation on the radioactive sample container 400 and the grasping and retrieving operation on the stopper 510 of the storage apparatus 500 by using the same apparatus.

As will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art, in the present embodiment, the plug body 510 is positioned on top of the storage device 500, and the grasping mechanism first grasps the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 to expose the radioactive sample container 400 stored in the storage device 500; the opening mechanism then opens the upper end portion (i.e., the upper sealing plate 401) of the radioactive sample container 400.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that in the present embodiment, the opening mechanism only opens the sealing plate 401 on the top of the radioactive sample container 400. The sealing plate 401 at the lower part of the radioactive sample container 400 is opened by another member or opening means. After being vented, the radioactive sample container 400 may have a small amount of radioactive gas leaking out, and therefore, in such embodiments, the venting and grasping means can only operate within the hot chamber to prevent the radioactive gas from leaking out to the outside environment.

Referring to fig. 2, the main body 10 includes: a bottom plate 11 extending in a first direction in a horizontal direction and a mounting plate 12 extending in a vertical direction, wherein the bottom plate 11 is configured to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the horizontal direction; the perforating mechanism and the grabbing mechanism are arranged on the mounting plate 12.

Further, the hole opening mechanism and the grabbing mechanism are arranged on the mounting plate 12 side by side along the first direction; the mounting plate 12 is configured to be movable in a first direction with respect to the base plate 11.

In such an embodiment, since the base plate 11 is movable in the second direction and the mounting plate 12 is movable in the first direction with respect to the base plate 11, the aligning operation of the tapping mechanism and the grasping mechanism with the same radioactive sample container 400, respectively, can be performed, so that the grasping operation and the tapping operation can be smoothly performed.

In some embodiments, the base plate 11 is configured to move on a track extending in the second direction. In these embodiments, the base plate 11 may be provided with slides or rollers that cooperate with the rails. Referring to fig. 2, the base plate 11 is provided at both lateral (i.e., first-direction) sides thereof with a first sliding portion 111, respectively. The movement of the hole-forming and gripping device on the rail is realized by the movement of the first sliding portion 111 in the rail.

The tapping and gripping device may further comprise: and a first driving device disposed on the base plate 11 and configured to drive the base plate 11 to move relative to the rail.

Referring to fig. 2, the first driving means may include: a first gear 112 and a first motor 113 for driving the first gear 112 to rotate, the first gear 112 being for engaging with a rack provided at the track. Therefore, the first gear 112 is engaged with the rack to drive the hole-opening and grabbing device to move on the track.

In some embodiments, the first sliding portion 111 may be a slider disposed within the track.

In some embodiments, the mounting plate 12 may be slidably coupled with the base plate 11 through a sliding guide extending in the first direction and a sliding portion slidable in the sliding guide. In such an embodiment, a sliding guide or a sliding portion may be provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 12, and a sliding portion or a sliding guide portion may be provided on the bottom plate 11, respectively, and the mounting plate 12 may be moved in the first direction relative to the bottom plate 11 by driving the sliding portion to slide relative to the sliding guide portion through a driving device.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the body 10 further comprises: a connecting plate 13, and a mounting plate 12 connected to the base plate 11 through the connecting plate 13, wherein the connecting plate 13 is fixedly disposed on the base plate 11, and the mounting plate 12 is configured to be movable in a first direction with respect to the connecting plate 13.

Referring to fig. 2, the connecting plate 13 and the mounting plate 12 may be disposed parallel to each other, and both the connecting plate 13 and the mounting plate 12 are perpendicular to the bottom plate 11 and parallel to the extending direction of the bottom plate 11, i.e., the first direction.

Trompil and grabbing device still includes: and a second driving means configured to drive the mounting plate 12 to move in the first direction relative to the connecting plate 13.

The link plate 13 is provided with a slide guide portion 131 extending in the first direction, and the mounting plate 12 is provided with a second slide portion 121 slidably engaged with the slide guide portion 131. The second driving device is configured to drive the second sliding portion 121 to slide relative to the sliding guide portion 131 so as to move the mounting plate 12 relative to the connecting plate 13 in the first direction.

Referring to fig. 2, the second driving means may include: a second rack 132, a second gear 133 engaged with the second rack 132, and a second motor 134 for driving the second gear 133 to rotate, wherein the second rack 132 is disposed on the connecting plate 13 in the first direction; a second gear 133 and a second motor 134 are provided on the mounting plate 12.

In an alternative embodiment, the slide guide 131 may also be provided on the mounting plate 12 in the first direction, and accordingly, the second slide 121 may be provided on the connecting plate 13. In such an embodiment, the second rack 132 may be provided on the mounting plate 12, and accordingly, the second gear 133 and the second motor 134 may be provided on the connecting plate 13.

When the punching and grabbing device is used, the gears and the racks are meshed by controlling the first motor 113 and the second motor 134, so that the punching and grabbing device can move at any position in the track plane, and the punching and grabbing device can be accurately positioned due to the transmission relationship of the gears and the racks.

In addition, for a plug body 510 with a large mass, the load capacity of the main body 10 is highly required. Thus, referring to fig. 3 to 5, in the present application, the cross section of the rail and the slide guide 131 is particularly provided in an i-shape; the cross sections of the first sliding part 111 and the second sliding part 121 are inverted concave shapes, and three recessed edges of the inverted concave shapes are matched with corresponding edges of the I shapes.

Specifically, both lateral sides of the cross section of the slide guide 131 have grooves 1311 recessed inward, and both lateral sides of the cross section of the second slide part 121 have protrusions 1211 protruding outward, so that the second slide part 121 is stably held on the slide guide 131 by the engagement between the protrusions 1211 and the grooves 1311.

By this arrangement, the mounting plate 12 can be prevented from overturning when the gripping mechanism grips the plug body 510 with a large weight. And the phenomenon that the bottom plate 11 is derailed and overturned due to uneven stress of the rail when the mounting plate 12 moves on the connecting plate 13 along the first direction can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the aperture mechanism comprises: a tapping machine 31 and a third drive. The drill of the tapping machine 31 is disposed vertically downward. The third driving device is used for driving the tapping machine 31 to move up and down along the vertical direction, so that the drill bit of the tapping machine 31 can extend downwards to the sealing sheet 401 of the radioactive sample container 400 to perform tapping operation; and can be retracted upward to an initial position after the tapping operation is completed. In some embodiments, the third drive means is an electric push rod 32. In other embodiments, the third driving device is a pneumatic cylinder.

In some embodiments, the grasping mechanism includes: a manipulator 22 for grasping or releasing the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 and a traction device for drawing the manipulator 22 up and down in the vertical direction.

In such an embodiment, when mounting plate 12 is moved to an arbitrary position in the first direction with respect to base plate 11, the projection of tapping machine 31 and manipulator 22 on the horizontal plane does not coincide with the projection of base plate 11 on the horizontal plane. That is, the bottom plate 11 cannot interfere with the hole-opening mechanism and the grasping mechanism. In some embodiments, the mounting plate 12 may be proximate the front side of the base plate 11 such that the front side of the mounting plate 12 (i.e., the mounting plane of the opening and grasping mechanisms) projects forwardly beyond the front side edge of the base plate 11 or is substantially flush with the front side edge of the base plate 11. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the front side edge of the floor 11 may be recessed rearwardly to form a relief groove in the floor 11 that allows the tapping machine 31 and the robot 22 to perform related operations.

In order to reduce radiation leakage and to better position the robot, the tapping and gripping device may further comprise a shielding housing 21 disposed on the main body 10, the shielding housing 21 defining a chamber 211 therein having a lower opening. The robot 22 of the grasping mechanism is disposed in the chamber 211 to place the plug body 510 of the grasped storage device 500 in the chamber 211 of the shield case 21. The traction device is used for drawing the mechanical arm 22 to vertically move up and down in the chamber 211, so that under the cooperation of the mechanical arm 22 and the traction device, the mechanical arm 22 can move downwards to the position below the lower opening of the chamber 211 to grab the plug body 510 of the storage device 500; and after grasping the plug body 510 of the storage device 500, the plug body 510 carrying the storage device 500 is collectively moved upward until the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 is completely accommodated in the cavity 211.

In some embodiments, the shield case 21 is made of lead. In other embodiments, the shielding shell 21 may be made of other radiation shielding materials, such as tungsten.

In these embodiments, a retractable shutter (not shown in the drawings) and a cylinder for driving the shutter to be retracted to the outside of the chamber 211 to expose the chamber 211 when the robot 22 is ready to move down to grasp or release the stopper 510 of the storage device 500 may be further provided at the bottom of the chamber 211 to close or open the chamber 211; when the robot 22 carries the plug 510 of the storage device 500 into the chamber 211, the cylinder drives the baffle to extend toward the inside of the chamber 211, so that the baffle closes the chamber 211 to prevent radiation from leaking out.

In some embodiments, the traction device is a hoist 23, and a traction rope 231 of the hoist 23 is connected to the manipulator 22 for vertically moving the manipulator 22 upward or downward by winding or releasing the traction rope 231. Specifically, the hoist 23 moves the robot 22 downward by releasing the traction rope 231, and the hoist 23 moves the robot 22 upward by winding the traction rope 231. The gripping and releasing of the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 are realized by the cooperation of the hoist 23 and the manipulator 22.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the winding machine 23 is disposed outside the shield shell 21, specifically, on the main body 10 on one side of the shield shell 21 in the radial direction (i.e., the lateral direction). The grasping mechanism further includes a pulley assembly disposed on the body 10 for threading the pull cord 231 therethrough.

Specifically, the pulley assembly includes a first fixed pulley 233 and a second fixed pulley 234 provided on the main body 10, wherein the first fixed pulley 233 is provided above the winding machine 23, the second fixed pulley 234 is provided above the shield case 21, and the traction rope 231 of the winding machine 23 sequentially passes upward around the first fixed pulley 233 and the second fixed pulley 234 and then downward into the chamber 211 of the shield case 21 to be connected to the robot 22.

In some embodiments, the first fixed sheave 233 may be disposed above the drum 232 of the hoist 23, preferably directly above the drum 232, i.e., directly above the center of the drum 232. The second fixed pulley 234 may be disposed directly above the shielding shell 21, and a through hole for the pulling rope 231 to enter the inside of the chamber 211 is opened at the center of the upper wall of the shielding shell 21, so that the pulling rope 231 can vertically extend downwards into the inside of the chamber 211 after passing around the second fixed pulley 234 to be connected with the manipulator 22, so that the pulling rope 231 is not subjected to friction at the through hole of the upper wall of the shielding shell 21, and the pulling rope 231 is abraded.

Further, the grabbing mechanism further comprises: and the limiting wheel set 235 is arranged on the main body 10 and is positioned between the position right below the first fixed pulley 233 and the position right above the winding drum 232 of the winch 23, and is used for limiting the swing amplitude of the traction rope 231 and reducing the jitter of the traction rope 231. A limit pulley set 235 may be provided near the spool 232 to minimize jerking of the pull-cord 231.

Specifically, the limiting wheel set 235 includes: two fixed pulleys provided in parallel on the main body 10 in the first direction, and the traction rope 231 of the hoist 23 passes through a gap between the two fixed pulleys and then winds up to the first fixed pulley 233.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in order to increase the system stability during the traction of the winch 23, the gripping mechanism further includes: the weight 24 is disposed in the chamber 211, and the pull string 231 is connected to the robot 22 through the weight 24. Specifically, a hanging ring 241 may be welded to the top end of the weight 24, and the pulling rope 231 is tied to the hanging ring 241 after entering the interior of the cavity 211 of the shielding shell 21. The hoist 23 moves the robot 22 and the counterweight 24 together downward or upward by releasing or winding the traction rope 231. Further, the shape of the weight 24 may be adapted to the shape of the chamber 211. Thus, the robot 22 may be centered in the chamber 211 to be more easily aligned with the plug 510 of the storage device 500. In some embodiments, the chamber 211 is cylindrical, and correspondingly, the weight 24 is also cylindrical; the gap between the weight 24 and the chamber 211 is small, and the weight 24 and the robot 22 are allowed to move up and down together in the chamber 211.

The upper end of the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 may be provided with a catching portion for catching or releasing in cooperation with the robot 22. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the catching part may be a groove 511 having an upper end opened, and the inner size of the groove 511 is larger than the upper end opened size thereof.

The manipulator 22 may be a pneumatic manipulator, and the grasping mechanism may further include an air inlet pipe for providing driving gas to an air cylinder of the manipulator 22, one end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air cylinder of the manipulator 22, and the other end of the air inlet pipe passes through a through hole formed in the shielding case 21 and is connected to an external air supply system, so that the external air supply system is used to provide driving gas to the air cylinder of the pneumatic manipulator to drive the pneumatic manipulator to perform grasping or releasing operation.

Referring to fig. 6-7, robot 22 includes a pair of jaws 222 driven by cylinders, and the cylinders drive the jaws 222 toward and away from each other to move the jaws 222 to a closed position and an open position. When the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 is in the closed position, the two clamping jaws 222 are driven by the air cylinder to move towards each other, and when the two clamping jaws 222 are moved downwards under the action of the winch 23 until at least part of the structure extends into the groove 511 of the plug body 510 of the storage device 500, the two clamping jaws 222 are driven by the air cylinder to move back and forth to be in the open position, so that at least part of the structure of the two clamping jaws 222 is limited in the groove 511, and the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 can be taken out and transferred.

Specifically, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the jaw 222 includes: a vertical part 2221 extending downward, a first catch 2222 extending outward at the tip of the vertical part 2221, and a second catch 2223 extending outward from the vertical part 2221 above the first catch 2222. Wherein, the length of the second holding part 2223 is greater than the length of the first holding part 2222. And the length of the first catching part 2222 is less than a half of the length of the upper opening of the groove 511 of the plug body 510 of the storage device 500, and the length of the second catching part 2223 is greater than a half of the length of the upper opening of the groove 511 of the plug body 510 of the storage device 500. When the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 is grabbed, the air cylinder drives the two clamping jaws 222 to move towards each other to be in a closed position; referring to fig. 7, then, the winch 23 releases the pulling rope 231 to make the first catches 2222 of the two jaws 222 extend downwards into the groove 511, and the second catches 2223 of the two jaws 222 are caught above the groove 511; thereafter, the air cylinder drives the two jaws 222 to move away from each other to be in the open position, so that the first catch 2222 is confined inside the groove 511. Referring to fig. 6, the first catching part 2222 is located below the upper wall of the groove 511, and the first catching part 2222 and the second catching part 2223 catch the upper wall of the groove 511 together, so that the catching and transferring operation of the plug body 510 of the storage device 500 can be achieved. In contrast, releasing the plug 510 of the storage device 500 (i.e., the process of disengaging the robot 22 from the notch 511) is not described herein.

The following describes in detail the working process of the preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application. One application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is that in a hot room, the radioactive sample container 400 is stored in a storage device 500 located underground, a storage device for storing a plug 510 of the storage device 500 is located in a pit, and a transfer track is laid between the storage device 500 and the storage device. When the plug body 510 is transferred from the storage device 500 to the storage device by using the tapping and grabbing device of the embodiment of the present application, the tapping and grabbing device is moved to the storage device 500 along the transfer track, then the mounting plate 12 is moved relative to the connecting plate 13 to align the manipulator 22 with the plug body 510 of the storage device 500, the pulling rope 231 is released by the winch 23 to make the manipulator 22 extend downward into the groove 511 of the plug body 510, so that the manipulator 22 grabs the plug body 510, and the pulling rope 231 is wound by the winch 23 to make the manipulator 22 enter the shielding housing 21 upward and keep the plug body 510 in the shielding housing 21; the plugs 510 are then transferred from the storage device 500 to the storage device by the bottom plate 11 moving along the transfer track. Then, the robot 22 is aligned with the storage tank of the storage apparatus, the robot 22 is moved downward by releasing the traction rope 231 through the hoist 23, the plug body 510 is placed at the storage tank of the storage apparatus, and then the robot 22 is retracted.
