Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flexible lance for processing or inspecting a tube sheet of a steam generator, with a flexible metallic first band and one attached to it in the longitudinal direction supply line for one Machining arranged at the free end of the first band or inspection head.
  • a flexible lance For guiding a supply line for an inspection head and / or for guiding a liquid supply line for the mentioned spraying process is from EP 0 815 388 B1 known a flexible lance.
  • This has a flexible metallic Tape on that in its longitudinal direction one after the other has arranged recesses through which a flexible supply line for one located at the free end of the tape Machining or inspection head is threaded.
  • This tape has the disadvantage that, especially with a high feed force, can buckle to the side. This is particularly so important if the supply line or one of the Supply lines a capillary or an optical fiber is.
  • Such glass fibers are used in order to to illuminate and / or observe the cleaning area. Capillaries and glass fibers have the property of falling below a certain minimum radius of curvature.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object specify flexible lance that is easy to manufacture and in which the supply line is still damaged is protected by kinking the lance.
  • This task is based on the flexible mentioned at the beginning Lance according to the invention solved by a in the longitudinal direction first tendon arranged on the first ligament, which has a higher bending stiffness than the tape has.
  • a tendon encompasses everything, especially reversible or elastic, pliable along the Understanding extended stiffening element. With the tendon is easily stiffened without the ligament that the size of the lance would increase.
  • the Tendon the diameter of which is preferably that of the supply line does not exceed, namely, to the side of the supply line be performed.
  • the first tendon is used not the supply or control of the machining or Inspection head.
  • the tendon is exclusive for stiffening the metallic tape.
  • the supply line is preferably a hose, a Capillary, an electrical line or an optical fiber.
  • the stiffening is of the tape particularly advantageous because these supply lines are particularly sensitive to kinking and can easily be damaged.
  • the band openings arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, through which the first tendon is threaded. That way the tendon is particularly easy to attach to the belt in terms of production technology.
  • the band between areas formed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of its openings has, which alternately on the one and the extend the other side of the tape. That way is a largely rectilinear canal, in which the tendon below Threading through the openings is easy to insert.
  • the flexible Lance a second tendon that is more rigid or flexural strength than the tape and the spaced from the first tendon and in the same way as this is appropriate.
  • the two tendons are preferably symmetrical on both sides arranged the supply line. With two tendons it is Band particularly safe and reliable against kinking and also protected against twisting or twisting.
  • the first tendon or one of the tendons is as Wire, in particular as spring steel wire, as rope, in particular formed as a steel cable and / or as a fiberglass element.
  • a Bowden cable can also be used as a tendon inside pull and push cable to drive one optionally available on the processing or inspection head Mountain or gripping pliers can serve.
  • the flexible lance a flexible metallic second band, which in Arranged longitudinally and connected to the first band is.
  • the second band increases the risk of kinking the flexible lance further reduced.
  • the first band and the second ligament through the first tendon and optionally through the second tendon joined together serves in this So not just the increase in stiffness, but also as a connecting element of the two bands.
  • the open side of a first formation is preferably on first tape for receiving the supply line from the second Band covered forming a guide channel.
  • the first formation on the one hand and the second band on the other can be a largely closed guide channel are formed in the one or more supply lines guided safely against damage along the flexible lance can be.
  • the two bands are connected alternately the first ligament and the second ligament on the first tendon on.
  • the first tendon is through the first ligament and / or threaded the second ribbon through.
  • the first band preferably has a first row Longitudinally arranged openings on and the second band a second row in a row in the longitudinal direction arranged openings.
  • the first tendon then preferably through the openings of the two Led tapes. The same applies to the optional second tendon.
  • the first is Band between its openings perpendicular to the longitudinal direction molded, and the second band is between its openings molded in the opposite direction. This makes it possible the first tendon to connect the two ligaments in production-technically particularly simple way through the openings respectively.
  • the second band of the flexible lance in the area of the guide channel molded is to form the guide channel with a lengthways extending second formation to the other side shaped like the first band. This makes it particularly spacious Guide channel formed.
  • the second shape is preferably above the open one Arranged side of the first formation that the formed Guide channel - viewed in a cross-sectional plane through the bands - essentially symmetrical on both sides the ligaments extends.
  • the supply line to lead in the flexible lance in such a way that it comes to lie on a line, preferably in the middle, on which the flexible lance has a neutral fiber or would have. This ensures that the supply line especially when the flexible lance is bent to the side little is used.
  • the first shape and optionally the second formation arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction Recesses, in particular slots.
  • slot width and slot spacing can have a minimal radius of curvature can be set. At the minimum radius of curvature, where the front edges or surfaces of the Slot openings come into contact with one another is another Bending the flexible lance significantly more difficult, i.e. lateral kinking largely prevented. This will the effect already achieved by the tendon or tendons reinforced.
  • the first tendon or at least one of the tendons has a higher bending stiffness than both tapes together.
  • a flexible lance 1 which consists of a flexible metallic first band 3 and a flexible metallic second band 5 is composed.
  • the two Bands 3, 5 consist of chromium-nickel steel with a wall thickness between about 0.1 and 0.2 mm. The width b of the tapes is about 30 mm.
  • the first band 3 a first expression or formation 13.
  • Opposite has the second band 5 in the opposite direction a second formation 15.
  • the two bands 3, 5 are with their flat sides flush along their longitudinal direction connected connected. It is through the two forms 13, 15 a guide channel 16 is formed in the supply lines 17, 19, for example an optical glass fiber, a capillary or a tube or an electrical one Cables are guided.
  • the guide channel 16 is after both Completed on each side by one of the bands 3, 5, so that the supply lines 17, 19 from mechanical damage are protected.
  • the two supply lines 17, 19 are symmetrical on both sides a center axis 21 arranged.
  • the two ligaments 3, 5 are connected to one another by two tendons 27, 29 connected.
  • the two tendons 27, 29 are symmetrical attached to the center axis 21 on both sides.
  • Your mutual Distance a is approximately 15 mm.
  • the two bands 3, 5 alternately loop around each other each of the two tendons 27, 29 so that on each of the two Tendons 27, 29 alternately the first band 3 and the second Volume 5 is present.
  • the two bands 3, 5 in connected with each other in a simple and flexible manner.
  • each of the Formations 13, 15 is of slot-like recesses 33 or 35 interrupted, which avoids that the flexible Lance 1 due to the existing formations 13, 15 is excessively stiff.
  • the distance d of - in the longitudinal direction - only a few tenths Millimeter wide and laser-cut slot-like recesses 33, 35 is about 5 mm, the slot width about 7 mm. This results in a minimal radius of curvature of approx. 40 mm.
  • FIG. 2 it can also be seen how the belts 3, 5 by means of the tendons 27, 29 not shown in this figure are interconnected.

  • the cross section of the rectangular openings 44, 46 is approximately 3.5 x 4.5 mm.
  • the two bands 3, 5 are in the area of their central formations 13 and 15 and with respect to their rows 43 and 45 one behind the other arranged openings 44 and 46 largely identical.
  • the bands are used to form the flexible lance 1 3, 5 almost phase-shifted flush with one another placed. This is indicated by the auxiliary line 30.
  • the shaped lances come together to form flexible lance 1 Areas 48 between the openings 44 of the first band 3 in to lie in the openings 46 of the second band 5 and protrude into these openings 46 into it.
  • the shaped protrude in the same way Areas 49 in the opposite direction into the openings 44 of the first volume 3. Is in this state through the shaped areas 48 and 49 a straight line Channel for receiving the first tendon 27 is formed.
