Device for turning a container, particularly for nuclear fuel assembly, turning assembly, and nuclear power plant

摘要

A device for turning a container about a turning axis is provided. The device includes a stationary holding member and two bearing members which are spaced apart along the turning axis on each side of a space for receiving a container, and which are capable of being used for bearing on the container while enabling the rotation of the container about the turning axis relative to the bearing members. The device includes a movable holding member that is mounted onto the stationary holding member so as to rotate about the turning axis, at least one bearing member being supported by the movable holding member while being mounted onto the movable holding member so as to rotate about the drive axis, the or each bearing member supported by the movable holding member not rotating about the turning axis relative to the stationary holding member when the movable holding member rotates about the turning axis relative to the stationary holding member.

1. A turning device for turning a container about a turning axis comprising:
a stationary holding member; a movable holding member mounted on the stationary holding member while being rotatable about the turning axis with respect to the stationary holding member; two bearing members which are spaced apart along the turning axis and which are configured for receiving the container therebetween with the container bearing on the two bearing members and being allowed to rotate about the turning axis with respect to the bearing members, at least one of the bearing members being supported by the movable holding member such that the at least one bearing member is rotatable about the turning axis with respect to the movable holding member, the turning device being configured such that the at least one bearing member supported by the movable holding member does not rotate about the turning axis relative to the stationary holding member when the movable holding member rotates about the turning axis relative to the stationary holding member.
