Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water purification, and in particular to a low-temperature resistant ultrafiltration water purification device. Background Art

[0002] Water purification equipment is a water production device composed of multiple filtering units. It quickly improves water quality by filtering. It is often used to produce drinking water in environments where drinking water is scarce. In some special scenarios, such as performing tasks, surviving in the wild, and disaster relief, a large amount of drinking water is required in a short period of time, and auxiliary functions such as heating, secondary disinfection, storage, and transportation may be required. In some cases, the entire set of equipment is even required to work normally in harsh environments such as extreme weather, severe shaking, and repeated impacts, which puts higher demands on the performance and durability of water purification equipment.

[0003] Among various water treatment equipment, the use of ultrafiltration membrane filtration is a more commonly used water purification solution. Ultrafiltration is a membrane separation technology that uses pressure difference as a driving force. It can intercept bacteria, viruses, colloids and other particles in water to make the water quality meet the requirements of drinking water. Current ultrafiltration water purification equipment, such as "an ultrafiltration water purification device" disclosed in Chinese patent documents, with a publication number of CN112573735A, includes an ultrafiltration unit, an adsorption unit, a membrane filtration unit and a disinfection unit. The ultrafiltration unit includes multiple ultrafiltration tanks; the ultrafiltration tank is connected to a return water pipe and a downstream water pipe; the membrane filtration unit includes a first reverse osmosis unit and a second reverse osmosis unit; the disinfection unit includes a disinfection tank and an ultraviolet lamp disinfection unit; the water purification device in the present invention can improve the water purification effect and reduce the frequency of ultrafiltration membrane replacement. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp can be quickly disassembled and installed, which brings convenience to the operator.

[0004] The filtration of this scheme has gone through six filtration stages: ultrafiltration, adsorption, first reverse osmosis, disinfection, second reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet disinfection. The ultrafiltration part can be recycled to further improve the water quality. At the same time, a detachable ultraviolet disinfection unit is used for easy maintenance. However, once the number of filtration steps of the device increases, water pressure and water production efficiency will become a big problem. At the end of the filtration, it is easy for the water to not be able to pass through the reverse osmosis membrane due to insufficient water pressure. Although the device is equipped with multiple water valves, there is no pressure relief pipe. Once the pipeline pressure increases, it will cause danger to the device. The entire device is mostly exposed to the air. After stopping operation in cold weather, the inside of the device is prone to ice formation and other phenomena that damage the pipelines and equipment, which limits the use environment of the device.

[0026] Preferably, the activated carbon filter 6 comprises one or more activated carbon filter elements. In the embodiment, two activated carbon filter elements are provided; and the activated carbon filter elements are of the same model.

[0027] Preferably, a three-way valve is provided between the ultraviolet sterilizer 7 and the produced water outlet 8 , and the outlet of the ultraviolet sterilizer 7 is connected to the produced water outlet 8 and the waste liquid discharge pipe 9 respectively.

[0028] Preferably, a waste liquid discharge port is provided at the tail end of the waste liquid external discharge pipe 9; and a flow regulating main valve is provided at the waste liquid discharge port.

[0030] The application process is as follows.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, after the raw water is pressurized by the water inlet pump, it enters the primary filter for treatment; the primary filter uses the filter to directly intercept impurities in the water, remove suspended matter and particulate matter in the water, and reduce turbidity at the same time; then the raw water enters the ultrafiltration step, and the bacteria, viruses, colloids, macromolecules and other particles in the water are intercepted and filtered and then sent to the ultraviolet sterilizer; through deep sterilization in the ultraviolet sterilizer, the production of some higher aquatic organisms, such as algae and red worms, can be controlled; the disinfected produced water is directly connected to the produced water outlet, and the water quality indicators of the treated produced water meet the requirements of GB5749-2006 "Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water".
