Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fernüberwachungsgerät mit Fernsehkamera zur Beobachtung eines Kernreaktors, das am Ende eines biegsamen Trag- und Versorgungskabels gemeinsam mit mechanischen Arbeitsgeräten befestigt ist, die an der Unterseite der Fernsehkamera angeordnet sind und ein abgebrochenes Stück Brennstoff ergreifen können.The invention relates to a remote monitoring device with a television camera for observing a nuclear reactor, that at the end of a flexible support and supply cable together with mechanical tools is attached, which are arranged on the underside of the television camera and a broken piece Can take fuel.
Bei der Entfernung abgebrochener Stücke von Brennstoff aus den Brennstoffkanälen der Kernreaktoren müssen mechanische Arbeitsgeräte, z.B.Zangen, die ferngelenkt werden, zusammen mit Fernbeobachtungsgeräten, die die Arbeitsvorgänge über eine passend konstruierte Fernsehkamera wahrnehmen, verwendet werden. Die Fernsehkamera muß natürlich über den Arbeitsgeräten angebracht sein; daher müssen die Arbeitsmittel für die Geräte an der Kamera vorbeiführen.When removing broken pieces of fuel from the fuel channels of nuclear reactors mechanical tools, e.g. pliers that are controlled remotely, must be used together with remote monitoring devices, who perceive the work processes via a suitably designed television camera will. The television camera must of course be installed above the work equipment; therefore the equipment for the devices must lead past the camera.
Gemäß der Erfindung sind die Arbeitsgeräte auf einem drehbaren, ringförmigen Träger unterhalb der Fernsehkamera montiert, führt eine Antriebswelle zur Betätigung der Arbeitsgeräte in Längsrichtung an der Fernsehkamera vorbei, ist eine weitere Antriebswelle vorgesehen, die den ringförmigen Träger dreht, um die Arbeitsgeräte in die gewünschte Stellung zu bringen, und die ebenfalls an der Außenseite der Fernsehkamera in Längsrichtung vorbeiläuft, ist weiterhin ein elektrischer Antrieb, der diese Wellen in Gang setzt, oberhalb der Fernsehkamera angeordnet.According to the invention, the tools are on a rotatable, annular support below the TV camera mounted, leads a drive shaft to operate the implements in the longitudinal direction past the television camera, another drive shaft is provided which rotates the ring-shaped carrier, to bring the tools into the desired position, and also on the outside of the television camera passes in the longitudinal direction, there is still an electric drive that sets these waves in motion sets, arranged above the television camera.
Die Wellen können an den Seiten der Bildfängerröhre nebeneinander oder konzentrisch untergebracht sein. In den Fällen, in denen die Brennstoffkanäle in Längsrichtung verlaufende Führungsrillen an gegenüberliegenden Seiten aufweisen, können die Antriebswellen sich längs der Seitenflächen der Kamera an diametral gegenübergelegenen Seiten erstrecken.The waves can be placed side by side or concentrically on the sides of the image capture tube be. In those cases in which the fuel channels run in the longitudinal direction guide grooves on opposite one another Have sides, the drive shafts can attach along the side surfaces of the camera extend diametrically opposite sides.
Wenn die Überwachungsanordnung in einen Brennstoffkanal hinabgesenkt wird, liegt die eine Antriebswelle in der einen Führungsrille des Brennstoffkanals, während sich die andere in der gegenüberliegenden Führungsrille befindet.When the monitoring arrangement is lowered into a fuel channel, there is one drive shaft in one guide groove of the fuel channel, while the other is in the opposite Guide groove is located.
Der Begriff »Fernsehkamera für eine Reaktor-Fernüberwachung« bezeichnet eine Kamera, die in einem zylindrischen Gehäuse untergebracht ist und am oberen Ende von einem Versorgungskabel getragen wird, während am anderen Ende ein einstellbarer Spiegel vorhanden sein kann, der die zu betrachtende Fläche auswählt (eine derartige Kamera ist im »Journal of the British Nuclear Energy Conference« in einer Arbeit beschrieben, die den Titel »Uranium Fuel Handling« trägt).The term "television camera for remote reactor monitoring" refers to a camera that is in a cylindrical housing is housed and is carried at the upper end by a supply cable, while at the other end there can be an adjustable mirror that shows the area to be viewed selects (such a camera is in the "Journal of the British Nuclear Energy Conference" in a Described work entitled "Uranium Fuel Handling").
Die Arbeitsgeräte können Zangen oder einen Greifer enthalten, die geöffnet und geschlossen werden können und dadurch ein abgebrochenes Stück Brennstoff erfassen. The work tools can contain tongs or a gripper that can be opened and closed and thereby grasp a broken piece of fuel.
