Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water purification, and particularly to a side-flow water purification membrane structure and a filter element. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, water purification equipment has gradually entered thousands of households. In water purification equipment based on reverse osmosis technology, the structure of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element plays a crucial role. Different manufacturers adopt different reverse osmosis membrane filter element technologies and manufacture reverse osmosis membrane filter elements with different structures.

[0003] In a reverse osmosis membrane filter element, using a side-flow water purification membrane structure can significantly extend the life and recovery rate of the reverse osmosis membrane. The current side-flow water purification membrane structure uses a central tube, which is divided into two halves. One half is a pure water tube, and the other half is a waste water tube. However, since there is only half a pure water tube, only a single-page membrane can be wound, and the flow rate of a single component cannot be increased when winding a single-page membrane.

[0004] There is also a side-flow water purification membrane structure that uses multiple pure water tubes connected to membrane components to form a central tube. In this solution, each pure water tube is in a centrally symmetric form, and there is a large gap in the middle of the formed central tube, which cannot stably support the membrane. At the same time, all the membrane components are exactly the same. Since the membrane component includes multiple functional layers, during the winding process, the outer functional layers of two adjacent membrane components are adjacent to each other, rather than adjacent to the filter membrane, which makes the diameter of the entire product larger and the filtration efficiency lower. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide at least a new side-flow water purification membrane structure.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A side-flow water purification membrane structure, the side-flow water purification membrane structure includes a central tube and a membrane component,

[0008] The central tube includes at least one pure water tube component, each pure water tube component includes two pure water tubes, and the two pure water tubes include a first pure water tube and a second pure water tube;

[0009] The membrane component wraps the outer wall of the central tube, the membrane component includes a first membrane component and a second membrane component, and each membrane component contains at least any one of a first functional layer, a second functional layer, and a filtration layer,

[0010] The first membrane component is connected to the first pure water tube, and the first membrane component includes the first functional layer, the filtration layer, and the second functional layer arranged in sequence;

[0012] The second functional layer of the first membrane module is adjacent to the filtration layer of the second membrane module.

[0013] In the present invention, the main functions of the first functional layer and the second functional layer are to transport and guide the water at the corresponding positions, and they can be the same or different. The first functional layer and the second functional layer can be an inlet grid layer and a pure water guide cloth respectively. The membrane module can be made by means of, for example, 3D printing technology. Between the layers of the membrane module, they can be fastened to each other by means including but not limited to mechanical stacking, physical compounding, chemical crosslinking, etc. In the structure of the central pipe, whether it is between the membrane modules in the same pure water pipe assembly or between the membrane modules in adjacent pure water pipe assemblies, it is always the second functional layer that is adjacent to the filtration layer, overcoming the disadvantageous setting in the prior art where the second functional layer such as the inlet grid layer is adjacent between different membrane modules.

Through the above settings, the cross-section of the pure water pipe is in the shape of ",", each pure water pipe is standardized, which is convenient for processing, and can be used as the first pure water pipe or the second pure water pipe.

[0024] In some embodiments, among two adjacent pure water pipes, the outer walls of the two pure water pipes are adjacent to each other, and the outer wall of the central pipe is substantially cylindrical.

The filter element includes a central tube, a secondary central tube, a first end cap, a second end cap, and a membrane assembly wound around the central tube. The central tube includes a plurality of pure water pipes fixedly connected to each other. The first end cap and the second end cap are respectively disposed at two ends of the central tube.

[0038] The first water flow inlet, the second water flow inlet, and the third water flow inlet and outlet can respectively serve as the raw water inlet, the pure water outlet, and the waste water outlet. The first water flow inlet and the second water flow inlet can be concentrically arranged.

Under certain thickness and usage amount of the membrane module, a higher filtration efficiency can be ensured.

[0046] In addition, for any two adjacent pure water pipes, the front wall of the pure water pipe of one is fitted with the rear wall of the pure water pipe of the other, which can ensure that there are almost no gaps on the outer wall of the central pipe, provide stable support for the wrapped membrane module, and ensure the sealing of each water path. Since the structure of the side-flow membrane itself changes the flow direction of the inlet water, making the inlet water flow channel narrower, accelerating the flushing speed on the surface of the membrane sheet, reducing the concentration polarization phenomenon, and improving the removal rate performance and service life of the membrane module.

The wastewater that has not been filtered by the filtering layer 12 is guided by the pure water guiding cloth 11 and enters the first water flow channel 30 inside the pure water pipe 3 through the water guiding groove on the outer wall of the pure water pipe 3, and then is discharged through the first water flow inlet and outlet 212. The pure water on the other side of the filtering layer 12 enters the second water flow channel 51 in the secondary central pipe 5 and is then discharged through the second water flow inlet and outlet 211.

[0075] Embodiment Three

At this time, the outer surface of the membrane module 1 of the filter element is the pure water guiding cloth, and the filtering functional layer of the filtering layer 12 faces the first functional layer 11.

[0078] Raw water flows into the first water flow channel 30 through the first water flow inlet and outlet 212, and enters the first functional layer 11 through the water guiding groove. The wastewater that has not been filtered by the filtering layer 12 is guided by the inlet water grid of the first functional layer 11 and flows out of the membrane module 1 through the third water flow inlet and outlet on the side; the pure water filtered by the filtering layer 12 is guided by the pure water guiding cloth of the second functional layer 13 and then enters the second water flow channel 51 in the secondary central pipe 5 and is then discharged through the second water flow inlet and outlet 211.
