One end of the connecting pipe 2 is connected with the first channel and communicated with the first channel, so that penetrating members can penetrate into the first channel, the penetrating members can be in sealing connection with the mouse holes of the mouse dragon 12, the number of the connecting pipes 2 is consistent with the number of the mouse holes, and the connecting pipes can be adjusted according to actual scene requirements, so that different penetrating members penetrate into different connecting pipes 2 respectively. The connecting pipe 2 can be in the form of a straight pipe or a bent pipe, and is mainly used for providing a wiring channel of a penetrating piece, the other end of the connecting pipe 2 is provided with a sealing joint 3, and the sealing joint 3 is mainly used for realizing sealing connection after wiring of the penetrating piece, and meanwhile, the connecting pipe possibly has the advantages of convenience in operation and reliability in sealing.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the sealing joint 3 includes a locking sleeve 31, a connecting sleeve 32, and a sealing sleeve 33 disposed in an inner hole of the connecting sleeve 32, that is, the sealing joint 3 is mainly composed of the three parts, wherein the connecting sleeve 32 is used for providing a mounting and restraining base, the sealing sleeve 33 is used for providing a structural base for clamping and sealing a penetrating member, and the locking sleeve 31 is used for providing a structural base for adjusting force. Further, the sealing sleeve 33 includes an inner and an outer nested elastic inner ring assembly and an outer elastic ring assembly, at least one set of second channels for sealing and clamping the penetrating members are formed between the inner elastic ring assembly and the outer elastic ring assembly, the second channels are communicated with the first channels, that is, the sealing sleeve 33 is formed by two parts which are nested inside and outside, that is, a gap between the inner elastic ring assembly and the outer elastic ring assembly and movable with each other, and a second channel communicated with the first channels is formed in the gap, so that the penetrating members can conveniently run from the connecting pipe 2 into the second channels, when the connecting pipe 2 has a plurality of connecting pipes, the number of the second channels is matched with the second channels, for example, in some embodiments, the number of the second channels is at least three, so that the sealing connection of more penetrating members is facilitated.
In order to enable the elastic inner ring assembly and the elastic outer ring assembly to be mutually close to each other and even extrude to realize the change of the second channel, so as to achieve the purpose of clamping the through sealing penetrating piece, the inner hole of the connecting sleeve 32 comprises a conical section 321, the elastic outer ring assembly and the conical section 321 form taper fit, the taper fit mainly means that the outer wall of the elastic outer ring assembly forms a conical surface matched with the inner hole wall of the conical section 321, and therefore the purpose that the outer wall of the elastic outer ring assembly is extruded can be achieved by utilizing the self-locking property of the conical surface, namely, along with the shrinkage of the conical surface, the outer wall of the elastic outer ring assembly is extruded more greatly. In addition, the locking sleeve 31 can act on the elastic inner ring assembly and/or the elastic outer ring assembly, so that the elastic outer ring assembly and the elastic inner ring assembly clamp the sealing penetration piece together after being extruded by the conical section 321, and the purpose of sealing connection of the penetration piece is achieved.

In general, the sealing structure can replace the existing penetrating piece sealing structure with large volume, complex structure and higher processing requirement, has better sealing performance and stronger adaptability, can be flexibly assembled and used according to test requirements, and can not only seal a plurality of penetrating pieces, but also seal penetrating pieces with different diameters.
The elastic inner ring component and the elastic outer ring component not only need to have certain elastic deformation to realize sealing clamping of the actions, but also need to ensure the shielding property of irradiation, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the test. In this embodiment, the elastic inner ring assembly and the elastic outer ring assembly are mainly composed of two parts, namely a sealing part and a shielding part, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the elastic inner ring assembly includes a sealing gasket inner ring 332 and a shielding gasket inner ring 334, the elastic outer ring assembly includes a sealing gasket outer ring 331 and a shielding gasket outer ring 333, the sealing gasket inner ring 332 is sleeved in an inner hole of the sealing gasket outer ring 331, a channel serving as at least part of a second channel is formed between the sealing gasket inner ring 332 and the sealing gasket outer ring 331, that is, a channel formed between the sealing gasket inner ring 332 and the sealing gasket outer ring 331 serves as a part of the second channel, and the rest is formed by the shielding part. Specifically, the shielding pad inner ring 334 is sleeved in the inner hole of the shielding pad outer ring 333, and a channel serving as another part of the second channel is formed between the shielding pad inner ring 334 and the shielding pad outer ring 333.
The shielding gasket outer ring 333 is located at a side of the gasket outer ring 331 close to the first channel, i.e. a side close to the irradiation device, so as to realize shielding of radioactive substances, and the locking sleeve 31 is used for acting on the gasket inner ring 332 and/or the gasket outer ring 331, so as to facilitate the realization of the subsequent taper extrusion action. The shielding gasket outer ring 333 and the sealing gasket outer ring 331 are elastic, and the shielding gasket outer ring 333 and the sealing gasket outer ring 331 are in taper fit with the tapered section 321, so as to achieve the extrusion sealing function. It can be appreciated that the shielding gasket outer ring 333 and the sealing gasket outer ring 331 together form a cone with an inner hole, and the cone can form a taper fit with the cone section 321, so that the sealing gasket outer ring 333 and the shielding gasket inner ring 334 can seal and clamp the penetrating member while sealing the penetrating member, and the sealing gasket outer ring 331 and the sealing gasket inner ring 332 can also seal and clamp the penetrating member, thereby improving the reliability of sealing and clamping, and especially meeting higher requirements on sealing precision under irradiation environment. In some embodiments, the vertical height of the tapered section 321 is smaller than the sum of the vertical heights of the shielding gasket outer ring 333 and the sealing gasket outer ring 331, so that the radial extrusion force of the tapered surface of the tapered section 321 can effectively act, the taper angle of the tapered section 321 is in the range of 10 ° -20 °, the purpose is that the taper angle needs to be appropriate, when the taper angle is too large, the radial component force is too large, the friction force between the sealing gasket 33 and the tapered surface is increased, the taper angle is too small, the radial component force is too small, and the sealing effect is poor.
In order to improve the clamping adaptability between the second channel and the penetrating member, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the inner ring 334 of the shielding pad and the inner ring 332 of the sealing pad also have elasticity, the inner wall of the outer ring 334 of the shielding pad is provided with first grooves distributed along the axial direction, the outer wall of the inner ring 334 of the shielding pad is provided with second grooves distributed along the axial direction, and one first groove and one second groove are spliced with each other to form a channel serving as another part of the second channel, that is, a channel formed by splicing the first groove and the second groove serves as another part of the second channel, wherein the first groove and the second groove serve as a group, and the number of the first groove and the second groove is consistent with that of the second channel. Similarly, the inner hole wall of the outer ring 331 is provided with third grooves 335 distributed along the axial direction, the outer ring wall of the inner ring 332 is provided with fourth grooves 336 distributed along the axial direction, and one third groove 335 and one fourth groove 336 are spliced with each other to form a channel which is at least a part of the second channel. It should be noted that the cross-sectional shapes and the sizes of the first groove, the second groove, the third groove 335 and the fourth groove 336 are not necessarily identical, and may be selected according to the actual scene requirement, for example, the cross-sectional shape of the groove is semicircular or semi-elliptical, so that the cross-sectional shape of the spliced channel is circular or elliptical, and a good fit can be formed between the spliced channel and the penetrating member, thereby achieving a better clamping and sealing effect.
In addition, in order to further ensure the clamping suitability of the second channel and the penetrating member, the shielding pad outer ring 333 and the shielding pad inner ring 334 are made of silicone rubber, flexible graphite and carbon fiber (the above three materials need to be irradiated in the reactor and are verified to be qualified, and all the materials need to be irradiated in the nuclear reaction test reactor, and the radiation resistance and neutron shielding performance of the materials are verified), so that the shielding pad outer ring 333 and the shielding pad inner ring 334 can bear radiation dose greater than 0.6Gy, and the maximum plastic deformation amount is less than 30%, so that 90% of gamma and alpha rays can be shielded. Furthermore, the outer ring 331 and the inner ring 332 may be made of the above materials for improving safety.
In this embodiment, for better achieving the purpose of conveniently manipulating the locking sleeve 31 to act on the sealing sleeve 33, please refer to fig. 6, the locking sleeve 31 includes a locking nut 311 and a gland assembly, the locking nut 311 is matched with the end portion of the connecting sleeve 32 far away from the first channel through threads, that is, the connecting sleeve 32 mainly includes a cylindrical section, a conical section (for forming the conical section 321) and a cylindrical section which are sequentially connected, the cylindrical section near the first channel is matched with the connecting tube 2 in an inserting manner, and the end portion of the cylindrical section far away from the first channel is threaded for being matched with the locking nut 311. The gland assembly is disposed in the inner hole of the lock nut 311, and the gland assembly has a third channel 314 for communicating with the second channel, when the lock nut 311 is screwed into the connecting sleeve 32, the gland assembly can be driven to act on the elastic inner ring assembly and/or the elastic outer ring assembly, so as to realize the clamping and sealing of the penetrating member. Through the above technical scheme, on one hand, third channels (the number of the third channels is equal to that of the second channels) which are convenient for the wiring of the penetrating piece are formed, and on the other hand, the penetrating piece can be clamped and sealed only by twisting or rotating the locking nut 311, so that better operation convenience is achieved. The locking nut 311 is transmitted to the elastic inner ring assembly and/or the elastic outer ring assembly (specifically, the acting sealing gasket outer ring 331 and/or the sealing gasket inner ring 332) to press the corresponding groove radially inwards in the downward moving process, so that the hole wall forming the channel is tightly attached to the penetrating piece, the sealing purpose is achieved, the larger the pretightening force is, the larger the extrusion force to the penetrating piece is, and the better the sealing effect is.
In order to realize that the gland assembly also has a certain clamping and sealing function on the penetrating member, the gland assembly comprises an inner gland ring 313 and an outer gland ring 312 which are nested inside and outside, a third channel 314 is formed between the inner gland ring 313 and the outer gland ring 312, and the forming mode of the third channel is that two grooves are mutually spliced, for example, the same forming mode of the second channel is adopted (refer to the description above and are not repeated here). The lock nut 311 has an action portion contacting with the gland outer ring 312, that is, a cap head of the lock nut 311 has a reduced diameter cover plate capable of contacting and acting with the gland outer ring 312 such that at least one of the gland outer ring 312 and the gland inner ring 313 acts on the elastic inner ring assembly and/or the elastic outer ring assembly. Of course, at least one of gland outer ring 312 and gland inner ring 313 herein means that the resilient inner ring assembly is in direct contact and/or that the resilient outer ring assembly may be only gland outer ring 312 or gland inner ring 313, or that gland outer ring 312 and gland inner ring 313 co-operate.
In order to avoid the rotation of the gland outer ring 312 along with the locking nut 311, the gland outer ring 312 is provided with a positioning lug 315, and the end part of the connecting sleeve 32 is provided with a positioning notch 322 for being in clamping fit with the connecting lug 315, so that the connecting stability of the gland outer ring 312 is ensured by the mutual clamping connection of the connecting lug 315 and the positioning notch 322, and the gland outer ring 312 cannot rotate along with the locking nut 311. In addition, the gland outer ring 312 includes a large diameter section and a small diameter section, which are coaxially formed, the large diameter section is located on a side of the small diameter section away from the first channel, the diameter of the large diameter section is larger than the diameter of the end of the connecting sleeve 32, and the diameter of the small diameter section is smaller than the diameter of the end of the connecting sleeve 32, so that the small diameter section can smoothly enter the inner hole of the connecting sleeve, and thus smoothly act with the gasket outer ring 331 and/or the gasket inner ring 332. More specifically, the inner holes of the large-diameter section and the small-diameter section are mutually combined into a stepped hole, the small-diameter hole realizes the clamping sealing of the penetrating piece, and the large-diameter hole provides space to facilitate the disassembly operation or other operations. Through above technical scheme, adopt inside and outside gland, inside and outside packing ring and the structural style of inside and outside shielding pad, can satisfy at any time the change of sealing washer, shielding ring, also satisfy the forward and reverse installation requirement of penetrating piece simultaneously, its practicality is wider.
The embodiment also provides some mounting processes of the sealing structure, namely for the irradiation device (the flange material is aluminum alloy, the connecting seat 1 material is stainless steel) of the peripheral pore canal, after the irradiation device is assembled, a compensation lead (penetrating piece) of the sensor is led out from the flange to sequentially pass through a first channel, a connecting pipe 2 and a second channel of the connecting seat 1. Firstly, a connecting seat 1 (a base 11 and/or a murinone 12) is welded to a flange of an irradiation device, two ends of a connecting pipe 2 are respectively welded with the murinone 12 and a connecting outer sleeve 32, then, penetrating members sequentially penetrate through a shielding pad outer ring 333 and a sealing pad outer ring 331, a sealing pad inner ring 332 and a shielding pad inner ring 334 are respectively arranged in the sealing pad outer ring 331 and the shielding pad outer ring 333, the penetrating members are placed in a second channel, then, a gland inner ring 313 is installed, the penetrating members penetrate through a third channel of the gland outer ring 312 and the gland inner ring 313, the gland outer ring 312 is installed in the connecting outer sleeve 32, and finally, locking nuts 311 are used for fixing and applying pretightening force to complete sealing of penetrating members of the irradiation device. When more than 3 penetrating members with different diameters are led out from the irradiation device, the gland outer ring 312, the gland inner ring 313, the gasket outer ring 331, the gasket inner ring 332, the shielding gasket outer ring 333 and the shielding gasket inner ring 334 need to be customized according to the sizes of the penetrating members, and through holes on the penetrating members need to be matched with the diameters of the penetrating members.
