Abstract

A motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor comprises an upper flange and fixing means suited to ensure the fixing of transverse holding means of the said primary motor-driven pump unit, the said primary motor-driven pump unit comprising an electric motor having a lower flange suited to be integrated with the said upper flange of the said motor stand. The motor stand is characterized in that the said fixing means comprise an annular element resting on the said upper flange of the said motor stand suited to be flanged between the said upper flange of the said motor stand and the said lower flange of the said motor, the said fixing means comprising at least one radial excrescence in which there is arranged a space suited to receive the said holding means.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A motor stand for a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor comprising:
an upper flange, and
a fixing means configured to fix a transverse holding means of said primary motor-driven pump unit, said primary motor-driven pump unit comprising an electric motor having a lower flange configured to engage with said upper flange of said motor stand,
wherein said fixing means comprises:
an annular element arranged between said upper flange of said motor stand and said lower flange of said motor, said annular element comprising at least one radial excrescence formed by an appendage having a top face and a bottom face, said appendage being formed by two adjacent projecting bosses and a recessed zone formed between said two adjacent projecting bosses, wherein said appendage is formed integrally with said annular element and shares a common plane with said annular element;
an upper plate and a lower plate fastened to the appendage and covering both faces of said appendage, said upper plate and lower plate each comprising a central bore opening into the recessed zone therein through which an axis is configured to be mounted; and
a space delimited by said recessed zone and bordered by the upper plate and the lower plate, said space being configured to receive and to link said transverse holding means to said fixing means via said axis.

2. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said upper plate and said lower plate are each formed by an angle comprising two lateral branches and the central bore.

3. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 2 , wherein the fixing means comprises the axis passing through the central bore of said angles and configured to pass through said transverse holding means so as to fix the fixing means to said transverse holding means.

4. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 2 , wherein said angles comprise bores passing through said lateral branches configured to receive screwing means.

5. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the two angles comprises means for blocking the rotation of said screwing means.

6. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 5 , wherein said means for blocking the rotation of said screwing means is formed by grooves located level with each of the lateral branches.

7. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the two angles is manufactured with said annular element.

8. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said annular element is rendered integral with said upper flange of said motor stand by screwing means.

9. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said motor stand comprises a plurality of pins passing through said annular element and said upper flange and configured to block the rotation of said annular element.

10. The motor stand of a primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said upper flange comprises a tenon and said annular element comprises a complementary mortise, said tenon and said complementary mortise being configured to withstand radial stresses transmitted by said transverse holding means.

11. A primary motor-driven pump unit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor, comprising:
an electric motor having a lower flange;
a motor stand comprising:
an upper flange configured to engage with said lower flange of said electric motor, and
a fixing means configured to fix a transverse holding means of said primary motor-driven pump unit, wherein said fixing means comprises:
an annular element arranged between said upper flange and said lower flange of said motor, said annular element comprising at least one radial excrescence formed by an appendage having a top face and a bottom face, said appendage being formed by two adjacent projecting bosses and a recessed zone formed between said two adjacent projecting bosses, wherein said appendage is formed integrally with said annular element and shares a common plane with said annular element;
an upper plate and a lower plate fastened to the appendage and covering both faces of said appendage, said upper plate and lower plate each comprising a central bore opening into the recessed zone therein through which an axis is configured to be mounted; and
a space delimited by said recessed zone and bordered by the upper plate and the lower plate, said space being configured to receive and to link said transverse holding means to said fixing means via said axis, and

articulated supports supporting said primary motor-driven pump unit,
wherein the position of the at least one radial excrescence of said motor stand is modifiable as a function of the location of said articulated supports by angular modification of the position of the fixing means between the upper flange and the lower flange of said motor.
