[0002] Air temperature and air humidity are two important factors of air quality. Proper air humidity can reduce static electricity, reduce the speed of chemical or biochemical reactions, and indoor pollutants are affected by air relative humidity. For example, if the humidity is too high, the rate of formaldehyde, benzene and other gases released by indoor building materials and furniture will increase, which will adversely affect people. At present, membrane method is widely used in air dehumidification method because of the high selective permeability and high packing density of hollow fiber membrane filaments.

[0009] S4, selecting a non-damaged hollow fiber membrane filament, sleeving the hollow fiber membrane filament outside the guide rod, keeping the hollow fiber membrane filament in a flexible state to avoid bending, and then sliding the hollow fiber membrane filament on the guide rod; thereby guiding the hollow fiber membrane filament to pass through the positioning hole to realize rapid threading;

[0010] S5, fixing the end face of the shell on one side, and moving the support partitions in corresponding positions in sequence respectively;

[0011] S6, after fixing the position, withdrawing the guide rod and injecting epoxy resin at both ends of the membrane shell to fix the hollow fiber membrane filament and cut the filament;

[0012] S7, the membrane shell body is connected with solution tanks at two ends respectively to complete single component manufacturing.

[0013] Preferably, the membrane shell body is made of an epoxy resin plate; the support partition plate is made of a steel plate; and the hollow fiber membrane wire is selected to be smooth and without recess.

[0014] Preferably, the punching interval of the epoxy resin plate is greater than or equal to 3.5 mm, and the punching size is greater than the membrane hole diameter.

[0015] Preferably, the hollow fiber membrane wire is distributed in a forked row, and the hollow fiber membrane wire is pulled by a guide rod.

[0016] Preferably, the four support partition plates are sequentially positioned and fixed to ensure that the partition plate intervals are equal.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting device comprises a fixed plate and a guide rod, and the fixed plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide rods corresponding to the positioning holes.

[0018] The advantages of the present application are that:

[0019] The guide rod in the limiting device is inserted into the positioning hole to guide the hollow fiber membrane wire, which can enhance the rigidity of the hollow fiber membrane wire, avoid the bending of the hollow fiber membrane wire when penetrating the membrane, reduce the difficulty of penetrating the membrane, and improve the efficiency of penetrating the membrane.
