Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrodialysis technology, and in particular to a composite cleaning device for an electrodialysis system. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of electrodialysis equipment, the deionization and impurity removal processes inevitably lead to membrane fouling, affecting membrane performance. To restore membrane performance, common methods used include membrane stack flushing, chemical cleaning, and manual cleaning by disassembling the membrane stack.

[0003] An electrodialysis desalination device disclosed in Chinese patent CN215916999U includes a dialysis tank with tank fixing plates on both sides. An ion-exchange membrane is installed inside the dialysis tank, forming an electrode water chamber, a concentrate chamber, and a desalination chamber through the ion-exchange membrane. A cleaning mechanism is also provided inside the dialysis tank. The bottom of the dialysis tank is open, and a lower fixing tank is installed at the bottom of the dialysis tank. The cleaning mechanism is located between the ion-exchange membranes. The ion-exchange membrane includes a liquid guide plate body, which is hollow inside. Liquid guide holes are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the liquid guide plate body. An outlet pipe and an inlet pipe are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the liquid guide plate body.

[0004] When the existing device is in use, the solution is sprayed onto the ion membrane through the liquid guide hole to clean the ion membrane. However, simply spraying the solution onto the ion membrane for cleaning has a very small cleaning effect and cannot achieve deep cleaning. In addition, some of the waste liquid generated during the cleaning process will remain in the main body of the liquid guide plate and cannot be discharged, thus contaminating the material to be purified, interfering with the normal electrodialysis purification process, and affecting the next dialysis.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a composite cleaning device for use in electrodialysis systems. Utility Model Content

The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a composite cleaning device for an electrodialysis system, comprising a dialysis tank 1, with multiple ion exchange membranes 5 fixedly installed inside the dialysis tank 1. The ion exchange membranes 5 form an electrode water chamber 2, a concentrate chamber 3, and a desalination chamber 4 inside the dialysis tank 1. Two electrode water chambers 2 are located on both sides inside the dialysis tank 1. Two concentrate chambers 3 are located on both sides of the desalination chamber 4.

[0024] An electrode water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper end of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the electrode water chamber 2. An electrode water drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the electrode water chamber 2.

[0025] Electrode plates 6 are fixedly installed inside the two electrode water chambers 2 on the inner wall of the dialysis tank 1. Conductive rods 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the dialysis tank 1. The electrode plates 6 and the conductive rods 7 are fixedly connected by connectors.

[0026] A concentrated water inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the concentrated water chamber 3. A concentrated water outlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the concentrated water chamber 3. A fresh water inlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the fresh water chamber 4. A fresh water outlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the fresh water chamber 4.

[0027] Cleaning plates 12 are installed in both the concentrate chamber 3 and the desalination chamber 4. The cleaning plates 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dialysis tank 1.

[0028] The cleaning plate 12 is hollow, and multiple spray holes 13 are provided on both sides of the cleaning plate 12. The spray holes 13 correspond to the ion membrane 5.

[0029] An angle valve 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the dialysis tank 1 at the position corresponding to the cleaning plate 12. The interior of each angle valve 14 is provided with a liquid inlet chamber 17, an air inlet chamber 18, and a connecting chamber 19. The connecting chamber 19 is connected to the interior of the corresponding cleaning plate 12.

[0030] Cleaning fluid inlet pipe 15 and air inlet pipe 16 are fixedly connected to the outside of the angle valve 14.

[0031] Specifically, both the liquid inlet chamber 17 and the air inlet chamber 18 are connected to the connecting chamber 19. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed inside the triangular valve 14 at the corner corresponding to the liquid inlet chamber 17 and the air inlet chamber 18. A baffle 20 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft, and sealing gaskets 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the baffle 20. The baffle 20 and the sealing gaskets 21 can seal either the liquid inlet chamber 17 or the air inlet chamber 18.

[0032] The cleaning fluid inlet pipe 15 is connected to the inside of the inlet chamber 17. The air inlet pipe 16 is connected to the inside of the air inlet chamber 18.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] In use, the solution is introduced into the electrode water chamber 2, the concentrate chamber 3, and the desalination chamber 4 inside the dialysis tank 1 through the electrode water inlet pipe, the concentrate water inlet pipe 8, and the desalination water inlet pipe 10, respectively. At the same time, the electrode plate 6 is energized, so that the ions in the desalination chamber 4 move to the concentrate chamber 3 through the ion membrane 5. The solutions in the electrode water chamber 2, the concentrate chamber 3, and the desalination chamber 4 can be discharged through the electrode water drain pipe, the concentrate drain pipe 9, and the desalination water drain pipe 11.

[0035] When cleaning of the ion exchange membrane 5 is required, after all the solution is drained, cleaning solution is pumped into the inlet chamber 17 through the cleaning solution inlet pipe 15. The cleaning solution pushes the baffle 20 to rotate, causing the baffle 20 to rotate until it contacts the air inlet chamber 18, thus sealing the air inlet chamber 18 with the baffle 20 and the sealing gasket 21. This connects the inlet chamber 17 to the connecting chamber 19. At this time, the cleaning solution enters the cleaning plate 12 through the connecting chamber 19 and is sprayed from the nozzle 13 onto the ion exchange membranes 5 on both sides, rinsing the ion exchange membranes 5. Impurities on the ion exchange membranes 5 flow downward with the cleaning solution and are eventually discharged from the corresponding concentrate drain pipe 9 and desalinate drain pipe 11.

[0036] Nitrogen gas is then introduced into the air inlet chamber 18 through the air inlet pipe 16. The nitrogen gas pushes the baffle 20 to flip, connecting the air inlet chamber 18 with the connecting chamber 19. The liquid inlet chamber 17 is sealed by the baffle 20 and the sealing gasket 21. At this time, the nitrogen gas enters the cleaning plate 12 through the connecting chamber 19 and is sprayed from the nozzle 13 onto the ion membranes 5 on both sides. This further cleans and dries the residual cleaning liquid and impurities inside the ion membranes 5 and the cleaning plate 12. Excess cleaning liquid enters the corresponding concentrate drain pipe 9 and desalination drain pipe 11 and is eventually blown out by the nitrogen gas. At the same time, the nitrogen gas dries the concentrate drain pipe 9 and desalination drain pipe 11 to prevent residual cleaning liquid from affecting the next dialysis.

[0037] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
