Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of electrodialysis, and in particular relates to an electrodialysis separator. Background Art
[0002] The electrodialysis separator is a key component in the electrodialyzer. It is usually located between the anion and cation membranes, and plays a supporting and separating role to prevent the membrane surface from overlapping and short-circuiting. At the same time, it also forms a water flow channel to make the water flow evenly distributed, and can generate turbulence to stir, so that ions can diffuse, achieving the purpose of improving desalination efficiency and reducing power consumption.
[0003] An electrodialysis partition with publication number CN220802671U includes a plate frame, a cavity is provided in the center of the plate frame, a partition is provided in the cavity, a liquid guide hole is provided on the plate frame, a water distribution channel is provided between the liquid guide hole and the cavity, the water distribution channel includes a channel groove and a support plate bonded and fixed on the channel groove, the channel groove connects the liquid guide hole and the cavity, the channel groove has a flow groove formed by multiple partitions, and adhesive fixing plates are provided on both sides of the support plate, the outer wall of the adhesive fixing plate is bonded and fixed to the side wall of the channel groove, and the end corners of the adhesive fixing plate are provided with support blocks. The method of opening a cavity in the middle of the plate frame and then connecting the partition in the cavity is adopted. This method results in that the cavity and the partition can only be rectangles with regular edges.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, an electrodialysis separator provided in this embodiment includes a first sealing layer 1, a second sealing layer 2, a partition net 3, a liquid distribution channel 4, and a liquid guide hole 5. The partition net 3 is arranged between the first sealing layer 1 and the second sealing layer 2, and the first sealing layer 1 is located on the front side of the partition net 3. The middle parts of the first sealing layer 1 and the second sealing layer 2 both have a cavity 6. A part of the partition net 3 is exposed in the cavity 6, and the other part of the partition net 3 is connected to the first sealing layer 1 and the second sealing layer 2 to form a plate frame part 7. There is at least one group of liquid guide groups at both ends of the plate frame part 7, and each group of liquid guide groups includes 4 liquid guide holes 5 and 1 liquid distribution channel 4 connected with the liquid guide holes 5. The liquid distribution channel 4 is connected with the cavity 6. The liquid distribution channels 4 at both ends of the plate frame part 7 are staggered. When there are multiple groups of liquid guide groups, the multiple groups of liquid guide groups are spaced apart along the width direction of the plate frame part 7. The partition net 3 is sandwiched between the first sealing layer 1 and the second sealing layer 2, and is directly hot-pressed. It is no longer necessary to connect the partition net 3 to the cavity 6 separately. Different shapes of the partition net 3 are formed by setting different shapes of the cavity 6, and the application range is wide. The redundant partition net 3 is combined with the first sealing layer 1 and the second sealing layer 2 to form a plate frame 7, and the partition net 3 plays a supporting role in the plate frame 7. Through the combination of the first sealing layer 1, the second sealing layer, and the partition net 3, the plate frame 7 has good strength, stiffness and sealing performance, good processing performance, adaptable to various welding processing technologies, and not easy to delaminate, and has good overall sealing performance.

By setting the water flow channel 45 inside the support layer 42 rather than on the surface, the collapse or blockage caused by pressure can be effectively avoided, and the sealing performance can be improved.
[0042] The first sealing layer 1 and the second sealing layer 2 are made of PVC, the spacer 3 and the support layer 42 are made of PP, and the third sealing layer 43 and the fourth sealing layer 44 are made of EPDM. PVC is durable and chemically resistant, PP is strong, and EPDM has good temperature resistance.
[0043] The support layer 42 has a Shore C hardness of 85, and the third sealing layer 43 and the fourth sealing layer 44 have a Shore C hardness of 70, which ensures sufficient strength and softness and has good sealing performance.
[0044] A water collecting trough 46 is provided on the water inlet side of the liquid distribution channel 4 to collect water.
[0045] The support layer 42, the third sealing layer 43, the fourth sealing layer 44, the extension portion 41, the water flow channel 45, and the water collecting tank 46 are integrally molded by one injection molding. Only one injection molding is required, and the injection molding process is simple and the strength is high.
[0046] In this embodiment, the liquid distribution channels 4 of each liquid-conducting group at the upper end of the plate frame 7 are connected to the first liquid-conducting hole 5 of the group, and the liquid distribution channels of each liquid-conducting group at the lower end of the plate frame 7 are connected to the third liquid-conducting hole 5 of the group.
