Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of water purification equipment, and in particular relates to a membrane component and water purification equipment having the same. Background Art
[0002] Under normal use, the service life of existing membrane elements with ordinary structures is short and they need to be replaced after a period of time, which is not economical or environmentally friendly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new membrane element that can further increase the flow rate, desalination rate and membrane surface flow rate of the membrane element, thereby extending the service life and providing a better user experience.
[0003] A membrane element, a filter element and a water purification device are currently disclosed (patent application number: CN201811109670.1), which include: a water collecting pipe; a first membrane unit, a second membrane unit and a third membrane unit wound on the water collecting pipe, the wastewater outlet of the first membrane unit is connected to the raw water inlet of the second membrane unit, and the wastewater outlet of the second membrane unit is connected to the raw water inlet of the third membrane unit; when the first membrane unit, the second membrane unit and the third membrane unit are in the unfolded state, the wastewater outlet of the first membrane unit and the raw water inlet of the second membrane unit are located on the side at the same position or the wastewater outlet of the second membrane unit and the raw water inlet of the third membrane unit are located on the side at the same position.
[0004] This public solution forms three single-side flow membrane units with a flow direction perpendicular to the central tube by gluing the end caps. These three units are connected in series to increase the membrane flow rate. However, this method has the following technical defects: Since the influent of the second and third membrane units is the wastewater of the first and second sections, when the system recovery rate is greater than 85%, the system desalination rate may not reach 85% (for test conditions, refer to "GB34914-2021"). In addition, the more membrane units are connected in series, the greater the pressure loss. From the perspective of flux, the series connection of two membrane units is better than the series connection of three membrane units. Utility Model Content

In fact, the sealing structure is located on the side and is sealed together with the side of the grid layer.

[0038] The central tube 1 is provided with a first chamber and a second chamber, both of which are communicated with the purified water outlet of the central tube 1 , and the water permeable area 42 is communicated with the first chamber.
[0039] The purified water produced by the first membrane unit 2 enters the first chamber.
[0040] The first chamber and the second chamber are isolated from each other and are not connected.
[0041] The back of the second membrane unit 3 is respectively provided with a second clean water flow channel formed by gluing the back surface, and the water outlet of the second clean water flow channel is communicated with the second chamber.
[0042] The purified water produced by the second membrane unit 3 enters the second chamber.
[0043] The second purified water flow channel is formed by the fourth sealing structure 35 , and the fourth sealing structure 35 is formed by the glue line sealing on the back of the second membrane unit 3 .
