INSTALLATION FOR CONTROL OF THE DIAMETER, SHAPE AND FORMING SURFACES OF CYLINDRICAL PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G21C17/06 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for controlling the diameter, shape and forming surfaces of cylindrical products and, in particular, can be used in the technology of nuclear fuel production when controlling the geometry and appearance of fuel tablets. The installation contains a unit for forming a product column installed sequentially on conveyors, a unit for control the diameter and shape of products, a unit for control the forming surfaces, a unit for disassembling products. Above each product unit control there is a unit for linear movement of product columns, each of which contains a drive and pushers of product columns for uniform supply of product columns to control units and a disassembly unit. An interrupter is installed in front of the diameter and shape control unit for detecting standing products, and interrupters are installed in front of the product column formation unit and behind the product disassembly unit to stop the entire installation when the product flow is excessive on the input and output conveyors. In front of the control unit for the diameter and shape of products, there is a device for adjusting the location of products in the column when standing products are detected.

EFFECT: provision of automated, operational, highly reliable, simultaneous control of the diameter, shape and forming surfaces of cylindrical products on the same installation with the control of deviations in the shape of cylindrical products with the issuance of recommendations for eliminating the causes leading to non-compliance with the specified parameters in the design documentation, and highly effective removal of rejected products from the flow.
