[0021] The transducer comprises a transducer unit 801, an amplitude transformer 802 and a plurality of emitting units 803, the transducer unit 801 is connected with the amplitude transformer 802, the amplitude transformer 802 amplifies the sound wave energy of the transducer unit 801 and transmits it to the plurality of emitting units 803; the length of the amplitude transformer 802 is designed to be able to pass through the end cover 4, the upper end cylinder 3, the upper sealing fixed layer 6 and penetrate into the hollow fiber membrane filament 2, to ensure that the ultrasonic energy is uniformly distributed to the inside of the membrane module;

[0022] The amplitude rod 802 is uniformly provided with a plurality of emitting units 803, the plurality of emitting units 803 are uniformly arranged on the amplitude rod 802, and are used for transmitting sound waves to the inner surface of the hollow fiber membrane filament 2; the position distribution of the emitting unit 803 is optimized and designed, so that uniform coverage of ultrasonic waves can be realized, and energy concentration or dead zones can be avoided; the transducing unit 801 is located outside the end cover 4 and is in sealing connection with the end cover 4; the transducing unit 801 is connected with the ultrasonic wave generator 11 through a cable; the amplitude rod 802 sequentially penetrates the end cover 4, the upper end cylinder 3 and the upper sealing fixed layer 6 and extends into the filtering cavity composed of a plurality of hollow fiber membrane filaments 2;

[0024] The low-energy-consumption immersed column type membrane assembly of the utility model utilizes siphon or pump suction, water passes through the hollow fiber membrane filament from outside to inside, and filtration is completed and the produced water is discharged through the water outlet 10. When the low-energy-consumption immersed column type membrane assembly works, the ultrasonic wave generator 9 is started, the transducing unit 801 generates high-frequency sound waves through the ultrasonic wave generator, the high-frequency sound waves are transmitted to the emitting unit 803 through the amplitude rod 802, and finally the ultrasonic wave energy is transmitted into the hollow fiber membrane filament 2, so that the surface of the hollow fiber membrane filament 2 is cleaned and pollution is reduced.

[0025] In the present application, the transducer unit 801 generates high-frequency mechanical vibration through the electrical signal provided by the ultrasonic generator 11, the amplitude transformer 802 amplifies the vibration of the transducer unit 801, and the ultrasonic energy is transmitted into the lumen of the hollow fiber membrane filament 2 through the transmitting unit 803; ultrasonic vibration forms micro-bubbles (cavitation effect) on the inner surface of the hollow fiber membrane filament, the generation and explosion of the bubbles produce strong shear force and scouring force, which peels off the pollutants on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane filament, and the propagation of ultrasonic waves can also break the structure of the pollution layer and reduce the formation of biological pollution.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the support rod 1 is provided with an opening at the top end, and a hollow cavity is arranged in the support rod 1 from the top end to the bottom end, the inner wall of the support rod 1 is made of a heat-conducting material, and a plurality of through holes 101 are distributed on the support rod 1; the through hole 101 structure is added to the surface of the support rod 1, which can introduce external airflow or water flow, enhance the water flow disturbance effect around the membrane filament, and the through hole 101 can be used as a gas injection port to generate micro-bubbles to assist the cleaning of the hollow fiber membrane filament; the top end of the support rod 1 extends out of the upper sealing fixed layer and the end cover and is connected to the external heat exchange assembly; the waste heat of the ultrasonic generator or other equipment is introduced into the support rod 1, which heats the water flow around the hollow fiber membrane filament through the support rod 1, improves the operating temperature, and increases the temperature of the cleaning medium during cleaning, thereby improving the peeling efficiency of the pollutants on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane filament.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the support rod 1 is spirally provided with a raised rib 102, which forms a local disturbance when water flows through, avoiding the deposition of pollutants around the membrane filaments; and the raised rib 102 also achieves the effect of uniformly distributing the water flow, ensuring that the water flow is more evenly distributed in the hollow fiber membrane filaments, improving the utilization efficiency of the hollow fiber membrane filaments.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the plurality of hollow fiber membrane filaments 2 are distributed along an S-shaped curve trajectory, and the S-shaped structure of the plurality of hollow fiber membrane filaments 2 easily induces turbulent flow of water, increases the shear force on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane filaments 2, thereby effectively reducing the deposition of pollutants; and the S-shaped curve arrangement can more compactly arrange the hollow fiber membrane filaments, increasing the number of hollow fiber membrane filaments in a unit volume, so that the column type membrane module has a higher filtration area; during the water flow process, the change in the direction of the water flow reduces the possibility of pollutants (such as sludge, particulate matter, etc.) directly adhering to the membrane surface; avoids the concentrated effect of water flow impact force or vibration on a single direction when the hollow fiber membrane filaments are arranged in a straight line, reducing damage or breakage phenomena of the hollow fiber membrane filaments due to stress concentration during long-term operation; when the water flow flows along the S-shaped trajectory, more time is needed to pass through the membrane filaments, improving the probability of pollutants being trapped.
