Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seawater desalination technology, and in particular to a reverse osmosis seawater desalination machine. Background Technology
[0002] Reverse osmosis seawater desalination technology is an important way to solve the shortage of freshwater resources. It achieves salt separation by driving seawater through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure. The core of this technology is to use a precision filtration membrane module to complete seawater desalination under high pressure. Its system usually includes core components such as a pretreatment unit, a high-pressure pump, an energy recovery device, and membrane modules.
[0003] Existing equipment generally adopts flange bolt fastening or bolt locking end cover sealing structure. The membrane end cover is mechanically connected to the shell flange by circumferentially distributed bolts. The seal is achieved by compressing the rubber sealing ring to generate radial deformation, or by rotating the bolts to make the end cover flange fit into the shell groove, and the rubber ring expands under pressure to fill the gap. This type of structure relies on manual symmetrical tightening of bolts for locking. The sealing pressure is indirectly transmitted to the sealing ring through rigid components.
[0004] However, the above sealing method has significant drawbacks. During maintenance operations involving frequent replacement of filter membranes, operators need to use tools to adjust the bolts one by one or repeatedly rotate the clips. The disassembly and assembly process is cumbersome and time-consuming. More seriously, asynchronous pressure at multiple points can easily lead to uneven stress on the sealing ring. When the working pressure exceeds a certain level, the risk of leakage caused by local seal failure increases significantly, reducing the continuous operating efficiency of the equipment and the lifespan of the core membrane module. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a reverse osmosis seawater desalination machine, which aims to improve the problem that uneven force on the sealing ring is easily caused by bolt tightening when replacing the filter membrane.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reverse osmosis seawater desalination machine, comprising a frame, a water purification pipe inside the frame, a reverse filtration membrane inside the water purification pipe, an end cap inside the water purification pipe, a sealing component inside the end cap, and an energy-saving component outside the frame; The sealing assembly includes a sealing ring fitted on the outer wall of the end cap. A stop block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the end cap. One side of the outer wall of the stop block abuts against the inner wall of the sealing ring. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the stop block. An inclined block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod. An inclined push block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the end cap. The inclined surface of the inclined push block is slidably connected to the inclined surface of the inclined block. One end of the inclined push block is located outside the end cap.
[0007] Furthermore, the energy-saving component includes a water turbine and a runner. The water turbine is installed outside the frame, and the runner is installed outside the frame. The output end of the water turbine is fixedly connected to the inside of the runner. One end of the outer wall of the purified water pipe is provided with a concentrated water outlet. The concentrated water outlet is connected to the water turbine inlet through a connecting pipe. The lower surface of the water turbine is provided with a water outlet, and the upper surface of the runner is provided with a seawater inlet.
[0008] Furthermore, a filter is installed inside the frame, with a filter inlet and a filter outlet on the outer wall of the filter, and the rotor outlet and the filter inlet are connected by a connecting pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, a water pump is installed inside the frame, and the filter outlet is connected to the water pump inlet via a connecting pipe. A concentrated water inlet is installed on the other side of the outer wall of the purified water pipe, and the concentrated water inlet is connected to the filter outlet via a connecting pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, a handle is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the end cap, and the handle abuts against one end of the inclined push block when it is retracted.
[0011] Furthermore, a locking block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the end cap, and a push button is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block. The locking block is engaged with the handle. A second spring is provided inside the end cap. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to one end of the locking block, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end cap.
[0012] Furthermore, a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inclined block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end cap. A reverse filter membrane is installed inside the water purification pipe, a check ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end cap, and a fresh water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end cap. One end of the fresh water outlet pipe is located inside the reverse filter membrane.
[0013] Furthermore, a control console is provided inside the frame, a fresh water outlet is provided at one end of the water purification pipe, the fresh water outlet is connected to the water inlet of the control console through a connecting pipe, and a controller water outlet pipe is provided on the lower surface of the control console.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, the sealing assembly drives the inclined push block to slide by rotating the handle. The inclined block is pushed to move laterally by the inclined surface structure, which drives the connecting rod to make the abutment block radially press the sealing ring. This design allows for easy operation to quickly seal or disassemble the end cap, improving maintenance efficiency. At the same time, the multi-directional linkage mechanism ensures that the sealing pressure is evenly distributed, effectively preventing leakage under high pressure conditions and extending the service life of the reverse osmosis membrane.
[0015] In this invention, the energy-saving component guides the high-pressure wastewater from the concentrate outlet into the turbine to drive the runner to rotate. The runner converts mechanical energy into kinetic energy to pressurize the incoming seawater. This process recovers the pressure energy of the concentrate directly discharged in the traditional system, enabling the pretreated seawater to obtain initial pressurization, reducing the energy load of the water pump, significantly reducing the overall power consumption of the system, and realizing the cascade utilization of energy.

[0020] Working principle: When this type of reverse osmosis seawater desalination machine is needed, the raw seawater is first injected into the rotor 24 through the seawater inlet 25. High-pressure concentrate from multiple purified water pipes 2 located within the frame 1 is discharged from the concentrate outlet 6 and flows through the connecting pipe 29 to impact the turbine blades 23, causing them to rotate. The turbine 23 synchronously drives the rotor 24 to pressurize the incoming seawater. The pressurized seawater is then transported through the connecting pipe 29 to the filter inlet 26 of the filter 5. After physical filtration, it is discharged from the filter outlet 27. The filtered seawater then enters the water pump 4 through the connecting pipe 29 for secondary pressurization, and subsequently flows through the concentrate inlet 3 into the purified water pipe 2. Under high pressure, the seawater is separated by the reverse osmosis membrane 28, and the freshwater permeates through the membrane wall. The freshwater inlet pipe 11 flows into the control console 8 through the freshwater outlet 7, and is finally output by the controller outlet pipe 9. The remaining concentrated water is circulated to the concentrated water outlet 6 to continue driving the turbine 23, forming an energy closed loop. During maintenance, press the push button 20 to disengage the locking block 19 from the handle 22, rotate the handle 22 to push the inclined push block 18 to slide axially, and the inclined surface of the inclined push block 18 squeezes the inclined block 16 to move laterally, driving the connecting rod 15 to cause the circumferentially distributed abutment blocks 14 to expand radially synchronously, and evenly press the sealing ring 12 to achieve rapid sealing of the end cover 10. The check ring 13 prevents backflow. When disassembling, rotate the handle 22 in the opposite direction, the first spring 17 resets the inclined block 16, and the second spring 21 pushes the locking block 19 to automatically lock the handle 22.
