It also includes a water tank 2 and a water pump 3. The upper end of the water tank 2 is provided with a water inlet pipe 201. Both the water tank 2 and the water pump 3 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. The water pump 3 is connected to the water tank 2 to reverse-feed water to the electrodialysis membrane stack. Both ends of the water pump 3 are fixedly connected to a pumping pipe 301 and a delivery pipe 302. The pumping pipe 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 2 and communicates with the bottom end of one side of the inner wall of the water tank 2. The other end of the water pump 3 is fixedly connected to... A first flange 303 is provided and connected to the electrodialysis membrane stack pipeline. A filter mechanism 4 and a cleaning mechanism 5 are connected to the water tank 2. The electrodialysis membrane stack is cleaned by backwashing water supplied by the water pump 3. The filter mechanism 4 is used for filtration in the circulation. It should be noted that different filter elements 402 can filter out different substances. In practice, different filter elements 402, such as filter screens or various filter membranes, are fixed in the filter frame 401 according to the requirements. The cleaning mechanism 5 is used to clean the filtered impurities.

[0027] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the filtration mechanism 4 includes a filter frame 401 and a filter element 402. The filter frame 401 is inserted into the water tank 2, and the filter element 402 is fixedly connected to the filter frame 401. The water tank 2 is provided with an installation groove 202, which extends through the upper end of the water tank 2 and is open. The filter frame 401 is inserted into the installation groove 202 through the open end of the water tank 2. An installation plate 403 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the filter frame 401. The installation plate 403 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the water tank 2 by bolts 404. A sealing strip 203 is fixedly connected inside the installation groove 202. The sealing strip 203 is designed as an inverted U-shape. The outer wall of the filter frame 401 abuts against the sealing strip 203. The circulating cleaning water is filtered by the installed filter element 402 in the water tank 2, allowing only the water to circulate continuously to backwash and clean the electrodialysis membrane stack.

[0028] like Figure 2 , 5As shown in Figure 6, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a motor 501 and a cleaning plate 504. The motor 501 is fixed to the upper end of the water tank 2 and drives the cleaning plate 504 to slide up and down in the water tank 2 to lift solid impurities. A screw 502 is fixed to the output end of the motor 501. The screw 502 is vertically rotatably connected to the water tank 2. A limit rod 503 is fixed inside the water tank 2. The cleaning plate 504 is threaded to the screw 502 and slidably connected to the slide rod. The outer wall of the cleaning plate 504 slides against one side of the filter element 402 on the mounting frame and the inner wall of the water tank 2. A cleaning port 206 is provided at the upper end of the water tank 2. A sealing block 207 is inserted into the cleaning port 206. A seal is fixed to the sealing block 207 and adheres to the upper end of the water tank 2. The cleaning mechanism 5 lifts the impurities filtered by the filter element 402 and then removes them through the cleaning port 206.

[0029] A circulation pipe 204 connected to the outside of the water tank 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank 2. A second flange 205 is fixedly connected to the end of the circulation pipe 204 for connecting the electrodialysis membrane stack pipeline. The inlet pipe 201 and the pumping pipe 301 are connected to one side of the filter element 402 inside the water tank 2. The cleaning port 206 and the circulation pipe 204 are connected to the other side of the filter element 402 inside the water tank 2.

[0030] In use, this invention adds clean water to the water tank 2 through the inlet pipe 201. Water is then pumped from the water tank 2 through the pumping pipe 301 via the pump 3. The water delivery pipe 302 is connected to the electrodialysis membrane stack via the first flange 303. Water is then used to backflush one end of the electrodialysis membrane stack for cleaning. The circulation pipe 204 is connected to the other end of the electrodialysis membrane stack via the second flange 205, allowing the backflushing water to circulate back into the water tank 2. The circulating cleaning water is filtered by the filter element 402 in the water tank 2 before being pumped back into the water tank 2 via the pumping pipe 301. The electrodialysis membrane stack is backwashed and cleaned multiple times. The filter element 402 filters out impurities that accumulate on the upper end of the cleaning plate 504. The sealing block 207 is pulled out from the cleaning port 206 through the cover plate 208. The output end of the motor 501 drives the screw 502 to rotate. Under the sliding limit action of the limit rod 503 on the cleaning plate 504, the screw 502 rotates and drives the cleaning plate 504 to rise vertically upward, thereby lifting the filtered impurities to the cleaning port 206, where the impurities can then be manually removed.
