Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filtration component technology, specifically a tubular ceramic membrane component. Background Technology

[0002] Tubular ceramic membrane modules are highly efficient filtration devices consisting of multiple tubes containing microporous ceramic membranes, typically encapsulated in a robust housing. The ceramic material imparts exceptional chemical and thermal stability to the membrane module, enabling it to withstand extreme pH levels, high temperatures, and highly corrosive environments. Its microporous structure allows small molecules to pass through while retaining large molecules or particulate matter, thus achieving precise filtration and purification.

[0003] In existing technologies, tubular ceramic membrane modules typically seal the gap between the ceramic membrane end and the mold shell by fitting a sealing ring on the outer wall of the ceramic membrane end. Because of the presence of the sealing ring, the friction between the ceramic membrane end and the mold shell is relatively large, resulting in greater resistance during insertion and removal, and making assembly more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tubular ceramic membrane module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The fixing mechanism includes a fixing sleeve and a fixing cover, and an exhaust valve is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing sleeve, an air inlet valve is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing sleeve, and an air inlet groove is opened inside the fixing sleeve. An installation ring is fixedly installed inside the fixing sleeve, and several vent holes are opened inside the installation ring. A first sealing ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vent holes, and the first sealing ring is located inside the fixing sleeve. A retaining ring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixing sleeve. Several fixing ears are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the fixing sleeve and the fixing cover, and the fixing cover is movably installed on the fixing sleeve through the fixing ears. A retaining ring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixing sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, a second sealing ring is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, a pressure gauge is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the first and second sealing rings are made of fluororubber.

[0009] Preferably, the ceramic membrane mechanism includes a ceramic membrane body, and a first fixing ring is fixedly installed on the top of the ceramic membrane body, a second fixing ring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the ceramic membrane body, and a plurality of connecting posts are fixedly installed between the ceramic membrane body and the first fixing ring.

[0010] Preferably, a handle is fixedly installed on the top of the first retaining ring.

[0011] Preferably, two sets of connecting pipes are fixedly connected to one side of the housing assembly.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the tubular ceramic membrane module;

[0013] 1. The ceramic membrane mechanism is fixed inside the outer shell assembly and the fixing mechanism by the cooperation of the fixed sleeve, fixed cover and retaining ring. The first sealing ring is fixed inside the fixed sleeve by the mounting ring. The air pressure inside the inflation tank is increased by connecting the air inlet valve to the air pump, thereby causing the first sealing ring to inflate and expand, squeezing the outer wall of the ceramic membrane mechanism, ensuring the sealing between the ceramic membrane mechanism and the fixing mechanism.
