Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrafiltration membrane production technology, and in particular to an ultrafiltration membrane fiber drying device for ultrafiltration membrane production. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrafiltration membrane is a polymeric semi-permeable membrane module composed of multiple ultrafiltration membrane fibers. When assembling an ultrafiltration membrane, the ultrafiltration membrane fibers are usually first soaked in a humectant, and then dried. The drying process refers to the mechanical drying of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers. In existing technologies, the ultrafiltration membrane fibers are basically dried by air drying in bundles. Thorough drying can improve the working efficiency of the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0003] Current equipment does not allow for modifications to the clamping or binding points of ultrafiltration membrane fibers, resulting in these points not being dried properly. This leads to uneven drying of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers and makes it difficult to disperse and move them during drying, potentially leaving residues that cannot be dried, further contributing to insufficient drying. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention provides an ultrafiltration membrane fiber drying device for ultrafiltration membrane production, which can change the clamping or binding of ultrafiltration membrane fibers and disperse and move the ultrafiltration membrane fibers, so that any residues that may appear in the ultrafiltration membrane fibers can be dried, thereby making the ultrafiltration membrane fibers more uniform and thorough in drying.

[0005] The technical solution is: an ultrafiltration membrane fiber drying device for ultrafiltration membrane production, including a base block, a clamping and flipping mechanism for repositioning, clamping and flipping the ultrafiltration membrane fibers, a positioning mechanism for precisely positioning the fibers, and a moving drying mechanism for repositioning, drying and manipulating the ultrafiltration membrane fibers.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping and flipping mechanism includes a first circular rail, which is fixedly connected to the base block. The first circular rail is provided with a limiting plate and a supporting block. A second circular rail is fixedly connected to the base block, which is provided with a second limiting plate and a second supporting block. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the first circular rail, and a second sliding plate is slidably connected to the second circular rail. An arc-shaped spring connects the first sliding plate to the limiting plate on the first circular rail, and an arc-shaped spring connects the second sliding plate to the limiting plate on the second circular rail. Passive pressure blocks are fixedly connected to both slide plates. The passive pressure block on slide plate one is the first passive pressure block, and the passive pressure block on slide plate two is the second passive pressure block. A circular slide rail is fixedly connected to the base block. A circular hole is opened on both the upper and lower sides of the circular slide rail. An arc-shaped slide rod is slidably connected to the circular slide rail. A handle is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the arc-shaped slide rod. Active pressure blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the arc-shaped slide rod. The active pressure block at the bottom end of the arc-shaped slide rod is the first active pressure block, and the active pressure block at the top end of the arc-shaped slide rod is the second active pressure block.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a guide block, which is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the arc-shaped slide rod. A locking rod is slidably connected to the guide block, and the locking rod passes through a circular hole on the lower side of the circular slide rail. A compression spring is connected between the locking rod and the guide block.

[0008] Furthermore, the mobile drying mechanism includes a fixed slide rod, which is fixedly connected between the two active pressure blocks. An active slider is slidably connected to the fixed slide rod. An electric slide rail is fixedly connected to the active slider. An electric slider is slidably connected to the electric slide rail. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the electric slider. A drying lamp is fixedly connected to the guide plate. Two sliding levers are slidably connected to the guide plate.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a toggle mechanism, which is disposed on the active slider. The toggle mechanism is used to disperse and agitate the ultrafiltration membrane fibers. The toggle mechanism includes a fixed rod, which is fixedly connected to the active slider. The fixed rod is provided with a round shaft, and a gear is rotatably connected to the round shaft of the fixed rod. A limit sleeve is fixedly connected to the fixed rod, and a sliding rod is slidably connected to the limit sleeve. A rack and pinion is fixedly connected to the sliding rod, and the rack and pinion meshes with the gear. A wave-shaped toggle is fixedly connected to the end of the rack and pinion away from the sliding rod. A fixed rack is fixedly connected to the guide plate, and the gear meshes with the fixed rack and pinion.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a scale, with two scales fixedly connected to two passive pressure blocks respectively, and a ruler sleeve fixedly connected to each of the two active pressure blocks, with the scale passing through the adjacent ruler sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a drying sleeve, which is fixedly connected to both of the sliding levers.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. In this invention, the electric slide rail drives the electric slider to move back and forth. The reciprocating movement of the electric slider will cause the guide plate, drying lamp, and sliding lever to move back and forth together. The reciprocating movement of the sliding lever will lift the lower part of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. Then, the reciprocating movement of the drying lamp will dry the entire lower half of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. Then, the operator pushes the clamping rod downward. The downward movement of the clamping rod will disengage from the circular hole on the lower side of the circular slide rail. Then, the handle is pushed towards the first passive pressure block. The arc-shaped slide rod slides on the circular slide rail. The sliding of the arc-shaped slide rod will cause the first active pressure block to contact the first passive pressure block first. Then, the first active pressure block will squeeze and push the first passive pressure block. The push of the block causes the sliding plate to slide, thus clamping the bottom end of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. This gradually relieves the pressure on the top of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber from the second active and passive pressure blocks. The clamping lever then moves to the circular hole at the top of the circular slide rail. The compression spring resets, causing the clamping lever to reset and engage with the circular hole at the top of the slide rail. This changes the clamping position of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber and flips it over. Simultaneously, the movement of the two active pressure blocks causes the fixed slide rod to flip, and the reciprocating movement of the sliding lever lifts the other end of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. The reciprocating movement of the drying lamp dries the other half of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber, ensuring that the entire ultrafiltration membrane fiber is dried evenly.

[0013] 2. In this invention, while the guide plate moves back and forth, it first drives the fixed rack to move towards the gear. The fixed rack moves and meshes with the gear. Then, as the fixed rack continues to move, it drives the rack bending rod and the wave-shaped lever to move towards the guide plate through the rotation of the gear. The movement of the wave-shaped lever disperses and moves the ultrafiltration membrane fibers, thereby making the ultrafiltration membrane fibers dispersed for drying, thus making the ultrafiltration membrane fibers dry more thoroughly.

[0014] 3. In this invention, when the ultrafiltration membrane fibers are clamped, the thickness of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers will create a gap between the passive pressure block and the active pressure block, and a gap will also be created between the scale on the top and the scale sleeve. This allows the operator to know the thickness of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers by observing the gap between the scale and the scale sleeve. The operator can then adjust the drying temperature by adjusting the power of the drying lamp, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers.

Implementation

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0027] Example 1: A drying device for ultrafiltration membrane fibers used in ultrafiltration membrane production, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, it includes a base block 1, on which a clamping and flipping mechanism is provided for repositioning, clamping and flipping ultrafiltration membrane fibers, a positioning mechanism is provided for precisely positioning them, and a moving drying mechanism is provided for repositioning, drying and manipulating ultrafiltration membrane fibers.

[0028] The clamping and flipping mechanism includes a circular rail 21, which is bolted to the base block 1. The circular rail 21 has a limiting plate and a support block. A circular rail 22 is bolted to the base block 1, and the circular rail 22 has a limiting plate and a support block. A sliding plate 23 is slidably connected to the circular rail 21, and a sliding plate 24 is slidably connected to the circular rail 22. An arc-shaped spring 25 connects the sliding plate 23 to the limiting plate 1 on the circular rail 21, and an arc-shaped spring 26 connects the sliding plate 24 to the limiting plate 2 on the circular rail 22. All are welded with passive pressure blocks 27. The passive pressure block 27 on the first slide block 23 is the first passive pressure block 27, and the passive pressure block 27 on the second slide block 24 is the second passive pressure block 27. A circular slide rail 28 is connected to the base block 1 by bolts. A circular hole is opened on both the upper and lower sides of the circular slide rail 28. An arc-shaped slide rod 29 is slidably connected to the circular slide rail 28. A handle 210 is welded to one side of the bottom end of the arc-shaped slide rod 29. Active pressure blocks 211 are welded to both ends of the arc-shaped slide rod 29. The active pressure block 211 at the bottom end of the arc-shaped slide rod 29 is the first active pressure block 211, and the active pressure block 211 at the top end of the arc-shaped slide rod 29 is the second active pressure block 211.

[0029] The locking mechanism includes a guide block 31, which is welded to one end of the bottom of the arc-shaped slide bar 29. A locking rod 32 is slidably connected to the guide block 31. The locking rod 32 passes through the circular hole on the lower side of the circular slide rail 28. A compression spring 33 is connected between the locking rod 32 and the guide block 31.

[0030] The mobile drying mechanism includes a fixed slide rod 41, which is bolted between two active pressure blocks 211. An active slider 42 is slidably connected to the fixed slide rod 41. An electric slide rail 43 is bolted to the active slider 42. An electric slider 44 is slidably connected to the electric slide rail 43. A guide plate 45 is bolted to the electric slider 44. A drying lamp 46 is bolted to the guide plate 45 for drying the ultrafiltration membrane fibers. Two sliding levers 47 are slidably connected to the guide plate 45.

[0031] Initially, the arc-shaped spring 26 is in a compressed state. First, the operator disperses the ultrafiltration membrane fibers into a row, clamping them between the passive pressure block 27 and the active pressure block 211 at the top. Then, the operator activates the electric slide rail 43 and the drying lamp 46. The electric slide rail 43 drives the electric slider 44 to move back and forth. The reciprocating movement of the electric slider 44 causes the guide plate 45, the drying lamp 46, and the sliding lever 47 to move back and forth together. The reciprocating movement of the sliding lever 47 lifts the lower part of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers. Subsequently, the reciprocating movement of the drying lamp 46 dries the entire lower half of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers back and forth. After the entire lower half of the membrane fiber is dried, the operator holds handle 210 and then pushes lever 32 downwards. Compression spring 33 is compressed, and lever 32 disengages from the circular hole on the lower side of circular slide rail 28. The operator then pushes handle 210 towards the first passive pressure block 27, moving the first active pressure block 211 to the original position of the second passive pressure block 27. Arc-shaped slide bar 29 slides on circular slide rail 28. The sliding of arc-shaped slide bar 29 causes the first active pressure block 211 to first contact the first passive pressure block 27, and then the first active pressure block 211... The first passive pressure block 27 is then pressed and pushed, causing the sliding plate 23 to slide and the arc spring 25 to be compressed, thus clamping the bottom end of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. Simultaneously, the sliding of the arc rod 29 causes the active pressure block 211 at the top to move away from the passive pressure block 27. Then, the return of the arc spring 26 causes the sliding plate 24 and the passive pressure block 27 at the top to move towards the active pressure block 211 at the top. Consequently, the top of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber is gradually no longer compressed by the second active pressure block 211 and the second passive pressure block 27, and then... When rod 32 moves to the circular hole at the top of circular slide rail 28, the compression spring 33 resets, causing the locking rod 32 to reset. The reset locking rod 32 then engages with the circular hole at the top of circular slide rail 28. Ultimately, this changes the clamping position of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber and flips the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. Simultaneously, the movement of the two active pressure blocks 211 causes the fixed slide rod 41 to flip. The reciprocating movement of the sliding lever 47 lifts the other end of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber. The reciprocating movement of the drying lamp 46 dries the other half of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber back and forth, thus drying the entire ultrafiltration membrane fiber and achieving uniform drying.

[0032] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 5-7As shown, it also includes a toggle mechanism, which is mounted on the active slider 42. The toggle mechanism is used to disperse and agitate the ultrafiltration membrane fibers. The toggle mechanism includes a fixed rod 51, which is welded to the active slider 42. The fixed rod 51 is provided with a round shaft, and a gear 52 is rotatably connected to the round shaft of the fixed rod 51. A limit sleeve 53 is welded to the fixed rod 51, and a sliding rod 54 is slidably connected to the limit sleeve 53. A rack and pinion 55 is welded to the sliding rod 54, and the rack and pinion 55 meshes with the gear 52. A wave-shaped toggle rod 56 is welded to the end of the rack and pinion 55 away from the sliding rod 54. A fixed rack 57 is welded to the guide plate 45, and the gear 52 meshes with the fixed rack 57.

[0033] As the guide plate 45 reciprocates, it first drives the fixed rack 57 to move towards the gear 52. The fixed rack 57 will first mesh with the gear 52. Then, as the fixed rack 57 continues to move, it will drive the rack bending rod 55 and the wave-shaped lever 56 to move towards the guide plate 45 through the rotation of the gear 52. The movement of the wave-shaped lever 56 will disperse and move the ultrafiltration membrane fibers, thereby making the ultrafiltration membrane fibers dispersed for drying, thus making the ultrafiltration membrane fibers dry more thoroughly.

[0034] Example 3: Based on Example 2, such as Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a scale 6, two scales 6 are respectively welded to two passive pressure blocks 27, and two active pressure blocks 211 are respectively connected to a ruler sleeve 7 by bolts, and the scale 6 passes through the adjacent ruler sleeve 7.

[0035] When the ultrafiltration membrane fibers are clamped, the thickness of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers will create a gap between the passive pressure block 27 and the active pressure block 211, and a gap between the scale 6 on the top and the scale sleeve 7. This allows the operator to know the thickness of the ultrafiltration membrane fibers by observing the gap between the scale 6 and the scale sleeve. The operator can then adjust the drying temperature by adjusting the power of the drying lamp 46, ultimately achieving a better drying efficiency for the ultrafiltration membrane fibers.

[0036] Example 4: Based on Example 3, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a drying sleeve 8, and the drying sleeve 8 is bolted to both of the sliding levers 47.

[0037] The drying sleeve 8 dries the part of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber that is lifted by the reciprocating movement of the sliding lever 47, thereby ensuring that the part of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber that was not dried when it was originally clamped is fully dried, thus improving the drying efficiency of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
