Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment equipment technology, specifically a capacitor deionization device. Background Technology
[0002] Capacitive deionization is a novel technology for removing salt from water. It is widely used in seawater desalination, desalination of industrial and agricultural water, and desalination of domestic water. Its basic idea is to force ions to move towards electrodes with opposite charges by applying an electrostatic field.
[0003] Most commonly available capacitive deionization devices on the market are similar in overall structure, with a cylindrical casing as the main body and two or four sets of electrode plates installed horizontally inside. The outer surface of the electrode plates has a selective permeation membrane. The electrode plates adsorb electrolyte ions when energized. However, there are some functional shortcomings in actual use, which have room for improvement. For example, the current backwashing of the electrode plates is done by reversing the applied electric field to interchange the positive and negative electrodes, and then expelling the electrolyte ions of the same polarity and carrying them away with the water flow. The water flow rate inside the casing is constant, which is not very effective at rinsing impurities attached to the membrane surface. The backwashing efficiency still needs to be improved, but there is no function to accelerate the water flow to improve the backwashing efficiency.
[0004] Now, a novel capacitor deionization device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The flushing assembly includes a dispensing chamber disposed inside a cylindrical cover. Miniature electric cylinders are installed at the upper and lower ends of the right side of the first sealing plate. Side grooves are provided at the front and rear ends of the dispensing chamber. Flat nozzles are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the left side of the dispensing chamber. An inlet tube is fixedly connected to the middle position of the right side of the dispensing chamber. A sealing ring is glued to the left side of the outside of the inlet tube.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the output end of the micro electric cylinder passes through the first sealing plate and extends into the interior of the cylindrical cover, and the output end of the micro electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the distribution cavity.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the dispensing cavity and the flat nozzle are internally connected, and the flat nozzle is symmetrically distributed about the horizontal center line of the dispensing cavity.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the outer diameter of the access pipe is consistent with the inner diameter of the water inlet, and the miniature electric cylinder and the controller are electrically connected.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the activated carbon anode plate and the activated carbon cathode plate are respectively fitted with outer covers, and two sets of stainless steel limiting plates are welded to the front and rear ends of the cylindrical cover.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the shape and size of the outer shell are adapted to the shape and size of the inner shell of the cylindrical shell, and the outer shell can slide left and right along the gap between the cylindrical shell and the stainless steel limiting plate.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, external clamp-type flow sensors are respectively clamped and fixed on the outside of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, and sensor wiring is movably connected between the controller and the external clamp-type flow sensors.
[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the inner walls of the two sets of external clamp-on flow sensors are tightly fitted to the outer walls of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, respectively, and the external clamp-on flow sensors and the controller are electrically connected.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the capacitor deionization device not only realizes the function of accelerating water flow and improving backwashing efficiency, but also realizes the function of easy disassembly and assembly of electrode plates, and also realizes the function of monitoring inlet and outlet flow rates.

[0034] Working Principle: In use, the water pump 2 first pumps raw water into the cylindrical casing 5 through the inlet pipe 3. The activated carbon anode plate 10 and activated carbon cathode plate 12 are energized to generate an electrostatic field. The activated carbon anode plate 10 adsorbs electrolyte anions, and the activated carbon cathode plate 12 adsorbs electrolyte cations.

When backwashing is required, the electric field of the activated carbon anode plate 10 and activated carbon cathode plate 12 is reversed, and the electrolyte ions originally adsorbed on the activated carbon anode plate 10 and activated carbon cathode plate 12 are repelled. The miniature electric cylinder 14 retracts, pulling the distribution chamber 15 to move. The connecting pipe 18 is inserted into the water inlet 7. The sealing ring 19 increases the interface sealing. Water enters the distribution chamber 15 directly from the connecting pipe 18. The flat nozzle 17 sprays high-speed water outward, rinsing the surfaces of the anion selective osmosis membrane 11 and the cation selective osmosis membrane 13, removing surface deposits, and carrying away the repelled electrolyte ions. After backwashing, the miniature electric cylinder 14 extends, the connecting pipe 18 disengages from the water inlet 7, and the water flow rate returns to its original level. The side groove 16 facilitates water flow. The activated carbon anode plate 10 and activated carbon cathode plate 12 are fixed on the second sealing plate 8. The outer casing 21 of the activated carbon anode plate 10 and activated carbon cathode plate 12 can increase their structural strength. During installation, they are directly inserted along the inside of the cylindrical casing 5. The stainless steel limiting plate 20 can restrict their movement path, making disassembly and assembly convenient. The treated water flows out along the outlet pipe 22.
