Embodiment

[0038] As Figures 6-7 shown, on the basis of example 1, it is also proposed that the observation assembly 6 includes a water storage frame 61 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air outlet pipe 5, the water storage frame 61 is provided with a water solution 64 in the cavity formed by the air outlet pipe 5 and the rotating head 13, the upper end of the water solution 64 is provided with a floating plate 62, the outer surface of the floating plate 62 is provided with a mounting hole 63, the water storage frame 61 is fixedly connected between the air outlet pipe 5 by welding, and the connection between the water storage frame 61 and the air outlet pipe 5 is provided with waterproof paint, the floating plate 62 is an elastic material with buoyancy, the upper end of the water solution 64 exceeds the joint between the rotating head 13 and the air outlet pipe 5, whether there is air leakage at the connection between the air guide pipe 1 and the air outlet pipe 5 is judged by whether there is air bubble rising upwards in the water solution 64, the evaporation of the water solution 64 is reduced by the action of the floating plate 62, the installation of the floating plate 62 in the water storage frame 61 is facilitated through the mounting hole 63, and the user can intuitively observe whether there is air bubble in the water solution 64 in the water storage frame 61 during use, so that it can be more intuitive to observe whether there is air leakage at the connection between the air outlet pipe 5 and the rotating head 13, and the user can be reminded to timely handle the air leakage at the connection of the air guide pipe 1 close to the air outlet pipe 5.

[0039] In summary, in the process of use, when it is necessary to detect the air tightness of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2, the user can put the lower end of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 into the inside of the positioning ring 46, so that the lower end of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 is placed at the recessed groove 42, and then start the air pump 8, the air pump 8 sucks the external gas from the end of the air inlet pipe 7, so that the gas flow flows from one end of the air outlet pipe 5 into the air guide pipe 1, and the gas flow is delivered to the inside of the upper connecting structure 3 through the air guide pipe 1, at this time the gas flow blows out from the through hole 36 on the outer surface of the baffle 35, the through hole 36 is pushed by the gas flow and moves downward together with the movable head 34, at this time the movable head 34 moves downward and stretches the reset spring 33 to expand, until the joint groove 37 at the lower end of the movable head 34 is clamped into the upper end of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2, at this time the first movable ring 39 moves upward and squeezes the first spring 38 to produce a certain contraction, at the same time the outer surface of the convex ring 310 contacts with the outer surface of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2, and the two form a line contact, the convex ring 310 with elasticity can prevent the gas flow from blowing outward again, and the blowing action of the gas flow makes the movable head 34 press the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 downward, so that the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 and the movable head 34 are connected tightly, at the same time the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 pressed downward will press the second movable ring 44 to move downward, and compress the second spring 43 to produce contraction, so that the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 and the fixed column 41 also maintain a state of tight connection, the air guide pipe 1 continuously delivers gas into the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 through the upper connecting structure 3, so as to detect the air tightness of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2, and the pressure condition can be observed intuitively through the pressure gauge 11, so as to detect the air tightness of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2.

[0040] Need to explain, in the process of using, the user can adjust the air pressure valve 10 through the air pipe 1 to the pressure of the gas flow to the upper connecting structure 3, so that the air tightness effect of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 under different water pressure can be simulated, and the position of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 can be kept vertical upward through the positioning ring 46. The position of the surface ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 is offset.

[0041] Need to explain, after a group of ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 detection is completed, the air pump 8 will stop running, at this time the air pipe 1 no longer transports gas into the upper connecting structure 3, at this time under the action of the reset spring 33, the movable head 34 is pulled to move upward slowly, at this time the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 is gradually separated from the movable head 34 under the action of gravity, the upper end of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 is gradually separated from the movable head 34, and under the action of the first spring 38, the first movable ring 39 is pushed downward, so that the first movable ring 39 further pushes the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 downward to separate from the movable head 34, after separation, the user pulls the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 vertically upward and takes it out, and then takes the next group of ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 to be detected to repeat the detection step.

[0042] Need to explain, in the process of extruding the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 downward, the second movable ring 44 extrudes the second spring 43 downward to generate a certain contraction, so that the lower end of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 is closely connected with the fixed column 41, and in the process of separating the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 from the fixed column 41, the second spring 43 extrudes the second movable ring 44 upward to move the lower end of the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 upward by a distance, so that the ultrafiltration membrane tube 2 and the fixed column 41 are separated conveniently, and the whole process is more labor-saving.

[0043] Need to explain, in the whole process of using the device, when leakage occurs between the rotating head 13 and the connecting end of the air outlet pipe 5, the gas in the air outlet pipe 5 will leak out from the gap between the rotating head 13 and the air outlet pipe 5, and the gas will float upward from the water solution 64, and the floating plate 62 will shake by the gas to remind the user that the rotating head 13 and the air outlet pipe 5 connection part leak, so that the user can handle it in time, avoiding the deviation of the detection structure caused by the leakage of the place.

[0044] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
