DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical scheme of the present application is further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0026] As Figures 1-5 shown, the membrane package replacement structure of the tangential flow filtration device of the present application comprises a membrane package 0 and a membrane package filter box 1, the membrane package filter box 1 is open at the upper end, and a membrane package mounting assembly is slidably arranged inside the membrane package filter box 1;

[0027] The membrane package mounting assembly comprises an inverted T-shaped plate 2 located inside the membrane package filter box 1, sliding grooves 21 are formed on both sides of the bottom of the inverted T-shaped plate 2, sliding plates 22 are slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 21, springs 23 are arranged between one end of the sliding plates 22 and the side walls of the sliding grooves 21, U-shaped clamping plates 24 are fixed to the other end of the sliding plates 22, the U-shaped clamping plates 24 abut against the side walls of the membrane package filter box 1, and the membrane package 0 is mounted between the U-shaped clamping plates 24 and the inverted T-shaped plate 2;

[0028] Guide plates 11 are fixed to both sides of the upper end of the membrane package filter box 1, the guide plates 11 are composed of inclined plates 111 and straight plates 112, the inclined plates 111 are outwardly inclined, and the straight plates 112 are fixed to the upper ends of the inclined plates 111;

[0029] The cover plate 12 is hingedly connected to the upper end of the membrane package filter box 1.

[0030] The conventional tangential flow filtration device is a process test instrument commonly used in the fields of biology and pharmacy, which can be used for product concentration, dialysis (desalination, dealcoholization, etc.), buffer replacement, and can replace a centrifuge to collect cells and remove cell debris from a fermentation tank;

[0031] The membrane package 0 is a membrane separation technology that uses the pressure difference on both sides of the filter membrane as the power, and the pore structure of the filter membrane as the core to realize separation, purification and refining. Among them, the tangential flow filtration is a new type of filtration method, the material flow direction is perpendicular to the filtration direction, so that the material continuously washes the surface of the filter membrane during the filtration process, avoiding the formation of filter cake layer or gel layer on the surface of the filter membrane, thereby maintaining the filtration efficiency of the filter membrane;

[0032] The filter membrane package in the common tangential flow filtration device, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219376358U, discloses a biopharmaceutical chromatography filtration membrane package clamp. The filter membrane package is sealed by the clamp. The clamp plate and the spacer are both flat plate structures. During the replacement process of the filter membrane package, the worker needs to unscrew multiple hexagonal bolts, which is relatively troublesome to operate.

[0033] In the present application, the membrane package 0 is installed between the U-shaped clamp plate 24 and the inverted T-shaped plate 2. At this time, the U-shaped clamp plate 24 can stably clamp the membrane package 0 between the two under the limitation of the membrane package filter box 1. The cover plate 12 covers the upper end of the membrane package filter box 1 to increase the sealing of the device.

[0034] When the membrane package 0 is installed in the membrane package filter box 1, the spring 23 will be compressed, and the sliding plate 22 connected to the U-shaped clamp plate 24 is accommodated in the sliding groove 21.

[0035] When replacing the membrane package 0, the worker first opens the cover plate 12 upward, and then slides the inverted T-shaped plate 2 upward until the inverted T-shaped plate 2 completely leaves the membrane package filter box 1, and the end of the U-shaped clamp plate 25 does not abut against the side wall of the membrane package filter box 1. At this time, the elastic force of the spring 23 will push the sliding plate 22 to slide in the sliding groove 21, so that the two U-shaped clamp plates 25 move away from each other, i.e. in the direction away from the inverted T-shaped plate 2. The bottom of the U-shaped clamp plate 25 will contact the inclined plate 111, which can limit the U-shaped clamp plate 25 to slowly open during upward movement, so as to reduce the excessive shaking of the membrane package 0 and prevent the membrane package 0 from falling downward. Finally, the end of the U-shaped clamp plate 25 abuts against the straight plate 112, and the sliding of the inverted T-shaped plate 2 upward is stopped. The elastic force of the spring 23 can push the U-shaped clamp plate 25 to tightly contact the straight plate 112, so that the membrane package installation assembly can be kept at this position. The worker does not need to use the hand to control the position of the membrane package installation assembly, which is convenient for the worker to replace the membrane package.

[0036] Since the U-shaped clamp plate 25 is away from the inverted T-shaped plate 2, the space between them will increase, i.e. the U-shaped clamp plate 25 does not clamp the membrane package 0 at this time. The worker can take down the membrane package 0 and replace a new membrane package 0 between the U-shaped clamp plate 25 and the inverted T-shaped plate 2. After the replacement of the membrane package is completed, the worker only needs to push the membrane package installation assembly downward.

[0037] During the downward movement of the inverted T-shaped plate 2, the lower end of the U-shaped clamp plate 25 will contact the inclined plate 111, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 23, and pushing the U-shaped clamp plate 25 to gradually approach the inverted T-shaped plate 2 until the lower end of the U-shaped clamp plate 25 extends into the membrane package filter box 0. At this time, the U-shaped clamp plate 25 clamps and fixes the membrane package 0, and the outer side abuts against the side wall of the membrane package filter box 0. The inverted T-shaped plate 2 is completely pushed into the membrane package filter box 0, and finally the cover plate 12 is covered to complete the installation.

[0038] The utility model discloses, when replacing the film package, only need to slide the film package installation assembly upwards, utilize the spring's elastic force to be able to open the U -shaped clamping plate 25 automatically, cancel the clamping of film package, only need to slide the film package installation assembly downwards after replacing the new film package, can automatically clamp the film package, simple operation.

[0039] The upper end of the inverted T-shaped plate 2 is provided with a pull rope 201; the pull rope 201 can facilitate the staff to pull the inverted T-shaped plate 2 upwards, that is, facilitate the film package installation assembly to be pulled out of the film package filter box 1 upwards, and facilitate the replacement of the film package.

[0040] The front end of the film package filter box 1 is fixedly provided with a lock catch 13, and the cover plate 12 is provided with a lock tongue 121 matched with the lock catch 13; when the cover plate 12 is placed on the upper side of the film package filter box 1, the lock tongue 121 can be connected with the film package filter box 1 by extending into the lock catch 13.

[0041] The lock catch 13 and the lock tongue 121 can be a spring lock tongue, which is a locking device capable of achieving automatic pop-in / pop-out function through an internal spring; the core principle is to utilize the elastic deformation and reset characteristics of the spring and combine a mechanical trigger structure to complete the extension and retraction control of the lock tongue.

[0042] Generally, the lock catch 13 on the button or the knob is pressed to push the lock tongue 121 to overcome the spring force and retract into the guide groove, and the tongue 121 is separated from the hole of the lock catch 13, so that the cover plate 12 can be freely opened; the above-mentioned technology is a conventional technical means in the application.

[0043] The lower side of the cover plate 12 is provided with a sealing gasket; when the cover plate 12 is buckled on the upper side of the film package filter box 1, the sealing gasket can increase the sealing property between the two, and improve the overall sealing property of the device.

[0044] Further, the sealing gasket can be made of silica gel.

[0045] The inverted T-shaped plate 2 and the film package filter box 1 are provided with a limiting assembly therebetween.

[0046] The limiting assembly comprises a strip-shaped groove 202 formed on the front side of the inverted T-shaped plate 2, and the film package filter box 1 is fixedly provided with a multi-stage telescopic rod 14 located in the strip-shaped groove 202; the upper end of the multi-stage telescopic rod 14 is connected with the upper wall of the strip-shaped groove 202.

[0047] When the staff replaces the film package 0, the inverted T-shaped plate 2 needs to be slid upwards; the inverted T-shaped plate 2 and the film package filter box 1 are connected through the multi-stage telescopic rod 14; the maximum telescopic distance of the multi-stage telescopic rod 14 is the position where the bottom of the U-shaped clamping plate 24 contacts the straight plate 112, so that the inverted T-shaped plate 2 cannot continue to move upwards, and at the same time, the inverted T-shaped plate 2 cannot be deviated frontward and rearward, thereby effectively limiting the inverted T-shaped plate 2.

[0048] Two straight plates 112 inside can increase the setting friction pad, the U-shaped clamp plate 24 end contacts with the straight plate 112, and the friction pad can increase the friction, the film package installation assembly can be more stably kept in the position, and the worker is facilitated to carry out the replacement work.

[0049] The membrane package filter box 1 left side is equipped with liquid inlet 15, the membrane package filter box 1 right side is equipped with liquid outlet 16, two U-shaped clamp plates 24 are equipped with the material port 17, left material port 17 is matched with liquid inlet 15, right material port 17 is matched with liquid outlet 16, and the middle part of the inverted T-shaped plate 2 is equipped with the through slot matched with the material port 17;

[0050] Left material port 17 is matched with liquid inlet 15, solution can enter into left membrane package through left material port 17, is filtered to solution through membrane package for the first time, is contacted with right membrane package through the through slot subsequently, carries out second filtration, and finally is discharged from right material port 17 and liquid outlet 16 membrane package filter box 1.

Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
