Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial membrane element assembly technology, and in particular to a quick-assembly structure for a washable industrial membrane element. Background Technology

[0002] Membrane elements, as the core component of membrane separation technology, achieve highly efficient separation of substances due to their selective permeation characteristics, and are widely used in water treatment, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical production. Taking spiral-wound membrane elements as an example, their structure consists of multiple layers of membrane sheets, flow guide fabric, and a central tube precisely wound together. The membrane bag adopts a three-sided sealing design, and the water flows evenly through the flow guide fabric between the membrane sheets, thereby improving separation efficiency. During the assembly process of membrane elements, they are usually embedded in a protective tubular shell, and the central tubes of adjacent membrane elements are precisely connected through connecting tubes.

[0003] However, existing membrane element assembly processes present significant operational challenges. Due to space constraints, the housing is often arranged in a layered configuration, with sealing gaskets at both ends of the membrane unit and connecting tube to ensure a tight seal. To facilitate the insertion of the membrane element into the housing or the connecting tube into the central tube, lubricant must be applied to the sealing gasket surface during assembly. Traditionally, workers carry bottled lubricant, manually pouring and evenly applying it to each membrane unit during installation—a cumbersome and inefficient process. Furthermore, bottled lubricant is inconvenient to store and requires frequent transfer, especially in multi-layered housing installations, where manual transfer further complicates the process. Additionally, when installing membrane elements at higher positions, extra manpower is needed to support them and ensure precise alignment with the connecting tube, increasing labor costs and demanding greater operational coordination.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a quick-installation structure for cleanable industrial membrane elements to assist in the installation of membrane elements and achieve the effect of rapid installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a quick-assembly structure for a washable industrial membrane element.

[0006] The technical solution is: a quick-assembly structure for a washable industrial membrane element, comprising a housing, a membrane element body, and a connecting tube. The membrane element body is slidably disposed inside the housing, and the connecting tube is inserted into the end of the membrane element body. It also includes a positioning component, a limiting component, and a pumping component. The end of the housing is provided with a positioning component for positioning the membrane element body. The positioning component is provided with a limiting component, which is a limiting component for limiting the rotation and sliding of the positioning component. The positioning component is provided with a pumping component for automatically pumping lubricating fluid.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning assembly includes a fixing ring, a crossbeam, a positioning frame, and a reinforcing plate. A fixing ring is slidably disposed on the right end of the outer shell. Two crossbeams are fixedly connected at intervals at the bottom of the fixing ring. A positioning frame is fixedly connected between the top right sides of the two crossbeams. Two reinforcing plates are fixedly connected at intervals between the two crossbeams.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a T-shaped limiting block, a return spring, and a pull ring. The T-shaped limiting block is slidably disposed on the front side of the fixed ring. A limiting groove is formed on the outer wall of the front end of the housing corresponding to the T-shaped limiting block. Two return springs are connected between the T-shaped limiting block and the fixed ring. A pull ring is fixedly connected to the end of the T-shaped limiting block away from the fixed ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the pump assembly includes a mounting bracket, a human body sensor, a water pump, a storage tank, a delivery pipe, and a control box. The mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring. The human body sensor and the water pump are spaced apart at the right end of the mounting bracket. The storage tank is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing ring. The delivery pipe is connected to the upper part of the water pump. The end of the delivery pipe away from the water pump passes through the upper side wall of the storage tank, and the end extends into the lower side of the storage tank. The control box is installed on the front side of the fixing ring.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a placement frame and a limiting plate. The placement frame is slidably disposed between the two reinforcing plates. The placement frame passes through the front crossbeam, and the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the placement frame.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a protective shell, which is fixedly connected to the top right side of the mounting bracket.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the positioning and limiting components ensure stable installation of the membrane element; the pumping component automatically pumps the lubricant, eliminating the tedious manual pouring of lubricant and improving efficiency; the positioning frame assists in lifting and positioning, so that the membrane element can be connected to the connecting pipe without additional manual assistance, simplifying the operation process, reducing labor costs, and achieving the effect of rapid installation.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example: A quick-assembly structure for a washable industrial membrane element, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a housing 1, a membrane element body 2, and a connecting tube 21. The membrane element body 2 is slidably disposed inside the housing 1. The connecting tube 21 is inserted into the end of the membrane element body 2. It also includes a positioning component, a limiting component, and a pumping component. The end of the housing 1 is provided with a positioning component for positioning the membrane element body 2. The positioning component is provided with a limiting component, which is used to limit the rotation and sliding of the positioning component. The positioning component is provided with a pumping component for automatically pumping lubricating fluid.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a fixing ring 31, a crossbeam 32, a positioning frame 33, and a reinforcing plate 34. The fixing ring 31 is slidably disposed on the right end of the outer shell 1. Two crossbeams 32 are welded to the bottom of the fixing ring 31 at intervals. The positioning frame 33 is welded to the top right side of the two crossbeams 32. Two reinforcing plates 34 are welded to the two crossbeams 32 at intervals to enhance the stability between the two crossbeams 32. The fixing ring 31, crossbeams, positioning frame, and reinforcing plates are all made of lightweight stainless steel, which makes the overall weight lighter and easier to move.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a T-shaped limiting block 41, a return spring 43, and a pull ring 44. The T-shaped limiting block 41 is slidably disposed on the front side of the fixing ring 31. A limiting groove 42 is formed on the outer wall of the front end of the housing 1 corresponding to the T-shaped limiting block 41. Two return springs 43 are connected between the T-shaped limiting block 41 and the fixing ring 31. A pull ring 44 is welded and fixed to the end of the T-shaped limiting block 41 away from the fixing ring 31.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, the pump assembly includes a mounting bracket 51, a human body sensor 52, a water pump 53, a storage tank 54, a delivery pipe 55, and a control box 56. The mounting bracket 51 is welded to the top of the fixing ring 31. The human body sensor 52 and the water pump 53 are spaced apart at the right end of the mounting bracket 51. The storage tank 54 is welded to the rear side of the fixing ring 31. A cap is threaded onto the top of the storage tank 54. Unscrewing the cap allows for the addition of lubricating fluid to the storage tank 54. The storage tank 54 is made of transparent acrylic material, facilitating the observation of the remaining lubricating fluid level. The water pump 53... 3. A delivery pipe 55 is connected to the upper part. The end of the delivery pipe 55 away from the water pump 53 passes through the upper side wall of the storage tank 54 and extends into the lower side of the storage tank 54. A control box 56 is installed on the front side of the fixing ring 31 by bolts. The control box 56 has a built-in control module for controlling the water pump 53 and a built-in energy storage power supply for providing power support to the water pump 53. The control module is electrically connected to the energy storage power supply, the human body sensor 52 and the water pump 53 respectively. After the control box 56 is started, the water pump 53 can be automatically controlled.

[0023] First, the operator places one side of the fixing ring 31 onto the end of the outer shell 1, ensuring that the two crossbeams 32 are directly below. Then, the operator pulls up the T-shaped limiting block 41, stretching the return spring 43. Next, the fixing ring 31 is moved further to the left until the T-shaped limiting block 41, under the reset action of the return spring 43, inserts into the pre-drilled limiting groove 42 on the outer shell 1, thus fixing the fixing ring 31. At this point, the fixing ring 31 cannot slide or rotate, ensuring the stability of subsequent operations. Next, the operator places a membrane element on top of the positioning frame 33, which assists in lifting and positioning it. The operator simply pushes the membrane element to the left to smoothly push it into the outer shell 1. When the end of the membrane element moves below the human body sensor 52, the operator brings their hand close to the human body sensor 52. At this time, the control module inside the control box 56 will... Start the water pump 53, which draws lubricant from the storage tank 54 through the delivery pipe 55 for the operator to use. After collecting a sufficient amount of lubricant, the operator applies it to the sealing ring on the outer wall of the membrane element. At the same time, take out a connecting pipe 21 and apply the remaining lubricant to both ends of the connecting pipe 21 with the sealing ring. This eliminates the need for the operator to carry a bottle of lubricant and pour it out, making it convenient and quick. Then, the operator places another membrane element on the positioning frame 33 and pushes it to the left to align it with the previous membrane element through the connecting pipe 21. Due to the auxiliary lifting and positioning function of the positioning frame 33, this process does not require assistance from other operators. When the membrane element moves to its right end below the human body sensor 52, the operator repeats the above actions to quickly complete the docking and installation of the membrane element, thus achieving a rapid installation effect.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a placement frame 61 and a limiting plate 62. The placement frame 61 is slidably disposed between the two reinforcing plates 34. The placement frame 61 passes through the front crossbeam 32. The limiting plate 62 is welded and fixed to the top rear side of the placement frame 61. When the placement frame 61 is pulled out to its maximum stroke, the limiting plate 62 abuts against the front crossbeam 32 to form a mechanical limit, preventing the placement frame 61 from sliding out completely and falling off.

[0025] By setting up the placement frame 61 and the limiting plate 62, the worker can pull out the placement frame 61 after setting the fixing ring 31. At this time, multiple connecting tubes 21 can be placed in the placement frame 61, which facilitates the subsequent use of the connecting tubes 21 and improves work efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a protective shell 7, which is fixed to the top right side of the mounting bracket 51 by bolts.

[0027] The protective casing 7 protects the human body sensor 52 and the water pump 53 from damage during placement or movement.

[0028] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
