Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of reverse osmosis water purification devices, and in particular relates to a self-cleaning reverse osmosis membrane filter. Background Art
[0002] Reverse osmosis membrane is an artificial semipermeable membrane with certain characteristics made by simulating biological semipermeable membrane. Under pressure, it can allow water to pass through while preventing impurities such as salt, colloids, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the water from passing through, thereby achieving water purification and solute separation. There are many tiny pores on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane. Generally speaking, water molecules are small and have a certain affinity with the membrane material and can pass through the membrane pores smoothly. Impurities such as salt ions cannot pass through the membrane pores due to their large ion radius or mutual repulsion with the charge on the membrane surface, thereby achieving the separation of water and impurities. Reverse osmosis membrane filter is a water treatment equipment with reverse osmosis membrane as the core filter element. It mainly works based on the reverse osmosis principle.
[0003] The above prior art often has the following problems when used:
[0004] Existing reverse osmosis membrane filters lack cleaning measures for the reverse osmosis membrane when in use. When the filter is working, the reverse osmosis membrane is used to filter and purify the water source. In this process, the reverse osmosis membrane that performs the filtering function will be attached with a large amount of impurities and particulate matter, etc. If there is a lack of corresponding treatment measures, the subsequent filtration efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane filter will be too low. When cleaning the reverse osmosis membrane, chemical cleaning methods are mostly used to dissolve or decompose the impurities attached to the reverse osmosis membrane through chemicals. However, this process requires that the chemicals can be fully mixed with the solvent to improve the subsequent cleaning efficiency.

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0028] After the reverse osmosis membrane filter body 1 has been used for a period of time, a large amount of dirt will be deposited on the reverse osmosis membrane in the reverse osmosis membrane filter body 1, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency. At this time, relevant cleaning measures are needed to clean it. Before cleaning it, the cleaning solution is prepared by combining the uniform component and the filtering component, and the solvent and the solute are added into the water storage tank 2 through the cylinder 21, and the motor 14 is started. The motor 14 will drive the No. 1 rotating shaft 15 to rotate, and the No. 1 rotating shaft 15 rotates to drive the No. 1 bevel gear 17 to rotate, and the No. 2 bevel gear 18 and the No. 2 rotating shaft 16 are driven to rotate through meshing transmission. When the solute and the solvent are added into the cylinder 21, the sieve holes on the partition 22 will filter them, thereby helping to improve the system efficiency. The cleanliness of the solution is improved, but as the amount added increases, impurities may accumulate on the surface of the sieve holes, which will affect the filtration efficiency. At this time, the rotation of the No. 2 rotating shaft 16 will drive the driving wheel 24 to rotate, and the driving wheel 24 drives the driven wheel 25 and the No. 3 rotating shaft 23 to rotate through the transmission of the belt 26. The rotation of the No. 3 rotating shaft 23 drives multiple strip cleaning brushes to revolve to clean the back of the sieve holes, so that impurities are no longer accumulated on the top of the sieve holes, which helps to improve the filtration efficiency of the solute and the solvent. When the solute and the solvent are added to the water storage tank 2, the rotating No. 2 rotating shaft 16 drives multiple stirring rods 19 to revolve, which will stir the solute and the solvent, so that the two are mixed more evenly, which helps to improve the subsequent cleaning efficiency.
[0029] After the preparation of the cleaning solution is completed, open valve No. 11 and valve No. 2 13 and start the water pump 9. The water pump 9 draws the cleaning solution in the water storage tank 2 into the No. 1 water pipe 10 for transportation. The cleaning solution enters the reverse osmosis membrane through the water inlet pipe 4, and can dissolve or decompose the impurities and dirt deposited in the reverse osmosis membrane very well. The cleaning solution flows from top to bottom and is discharged through the wastewater outlet 6. It then returns to the No. 2 water pipe 12 through the No. 2 water outlet pipe 8, and then returns to the water storage tank 2 through the No. 2 water pipe 12 to achieve a circulating flow. In this way, the impurities and dirt deposited in the reverse osmosis membrane are continuously cleaned, thereby achieving efficient self-cleaning operation. After the cleaning is completed, close valve No. 1 11 and valve No. 2 13, and the reverse osmosis membrane filter body 1 can be put into normal operation.
