CAPTURE OF THE CLUSTER OF CONTROL ELEMENTS OF THERMAL FILTERS OF THE REACTOR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G21C19/10 

FIELD: nuclear physics and equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of nuclear power, in particular to devices for reloading clusters of control elements of fuel assemblies of nuclear reactors of VVER-1000 type. Grip of the cluster comprises a body in which an internal slider is fitted with a slider and a rotatable element connected thereto. Slider is mounted with the possibility of translational motion along the axis of the body and with limited rotation. Rotation element and the slider are connected by connecting the curved groove and being engaged with it by at least one guide member. Connection allows one-sided rotation of the pivot member in the progressive movement of the slider. With the lower part of the pivot member, a gripping member is fixedly connected, which is capable of engaging and disengaging with the traverse of the cluster, the pivoting member and the gripping element are mounted in the housing with the possibility of rotation and with the restriction of the possibility of translational movement.

EFFECT: increase the reliability and reliability of the work of capturing the cluster.
