Technical Field

Traditional cleaning methods mainly include chemical soaking, backwashing, and aeration rinsing. However, these methods have significant drawbacks: chemical cleaning: high cost of chemicals, easy residue causing secondary pollution, and frequent use can damage the membrane material; mechanical vibration cleaning: existing vibration devices mostly use rigid connections, which can easily lead to stress concentration and damage to the membrane structure. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention. An inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane flushing device includes a housing 1 and an inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2, a connecting mechanism 3, a forward flushing mechanism 4 and a reverse flushing mechanism 5 arranged in the housing 1.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the inorganic flat-plate ultrafiltration membrane 2 is connected to the housing 1 through the connecting mechanism 3. The connecting mechanism 3 includes an upper connecting seat 31, an upper elastic element 32, a lower connecting seat 33, and a lower elastic element 34.

The lower connecting seat 33 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and is located below the inorganic flat-plate ultrafiltration membrane 2. One end of the lower elastic element 34 is connected to the lower connecting seat 33, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the inorganic flat-plate ultrafiltration membrane 2.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the forward flushing mechanism 4 is used to flush the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2, and the forward flushing mechanism 4 is located above the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2; the reverse flushing mechanism 5 is used to flush the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2, and the reverse flushing mechanism 5 is located below the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2. The arrangement of the forward and reverse flushing mechanisms and the elastic structure inside the connecting mechanism 3 enable the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2 to vibrate elastically. The forward water flow from top to bottom and the reverse water flow from bottom to top remove the blockage. The bidirectional shear force improves the cleaning efficiency and allows the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2 to generate multi-directional micro-amplitude vibrations under the impact of the flushing water flow.
[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the connecting mechanism 3 includes a water storage tank 35 and a reset element 36. The water storage tank 35 is rotatably connected to the inorganic flat plate ultrafiltration membrane 2. The water storage tank 35 is used to receive liquid and rotates to pour out the liquid after reaching the threshold. One end of the reset element 36 is connected to the water storage tank 35 and the other end is connected to the inorganic flat plate ultrafiltration membrane 2. Periodic water storage and pouring generate pulse vibration, which, together with the upper elastic element 32 and the lower elastic element 34, forms a composite vibration mode, thereby increasing the vibration amplitude of the inorganic flat plate ultrafiltration membrane.
[0026] When the water tank 35 is empty, it is deflected outwards. The angle of the water tank 35 can be 5°-20° to ensure the water storage capacity and trigger threshold.
[0027] The bottom surface of the upper connecting seat 31 is provided with an upper receiving groove 311 for accommodating the upper elastic element 32. The upper elastic element 32 is located in the upper receiving groove 311 to prevent the upper elastic element 32 from being stuck by external impurities, limit the vibration stroke, and avoid excessive deformation.
[0028] The bottom surface of the lower connecting seat 33 is provided with a lower receiving groove 331 for accommodating the lower elastic element 34. The lower elastic element 34 is located in the lower receiving groove 331 to prevent the lower elastic element 34 from being stuck by external impurities, limit the vibration stroke, and avoid excessive deformation.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the forward flushing mechanism 4 includes a forward water pump 41 and a forward flushing pipe 42. The output end of the forward water pump 41 is connected to the input end of the forward flushing pipe 42. The forward water pump 41 is located outside the housing 1, and the forward flushing pipe 42 is located inside the housing 1.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the backwashing mechanism 5 includes a backwash pump 51 and a backwash pipe 52. The output end of the backwash pump 51 is connected to the input end of the backwash pipe 52. The backwash pump 51 is located outside the housing 1, and the backwash pipe 52 is located inside the housing 1.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the inorganic flat-plate ultrafiltration membrane washing device also includes an aeration mechanism 6, which includes an aeration disc located inside the housing 1 and below the inorganic flat-plate ultrafiltration membrane 2. The aeration mechanism 6 also includes an air tank 61, the output end of which is connected to the input end of the aeration disc.
[0032] Work process:
[0033] Inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane fixation: The inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane is elastically suspended in the shell by the upper and lower elastic elements 32 and 34, and is in a stable tensile state.
[0034] The liquid to be treated enters from the housing and is filtered through the micropores of the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2 under pressure, while pollutants are trapped on the membrane surface.
[0035] Rinsing stage: The forward water pump 41 starts and sprays clean water / cleaning solution from above the membrane through the forward rinsing pipe 42. The water flow impacts the surface of the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2 from top to bottom, peeling off loose surface pollutants. The impact force causes the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2 to move downward, stretching the upper elastic element 32 and compressing the lower elastic element 34, storing elastic potential energy. At the moment the rinsing stops, the elastic element releases energy, causing the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane 2 to rebound upward, generating high-frequency micro-amplitude vibration.
[0036] The reverse water pump 51 starts, spraying the cleaning solution from below the membrane upward through the reverse flushing pipe 52. The reverse water flow penetrates the membrane pores, removing deep-seated contaminants. The impact force pushes the inorganic flat sheet ultrafiltration membrane upward, compressing the upper elastic element 32 and stretching the lower elastic element 34, thus accumulating elastic potential energy again.
[0037] During the rinsing process, some water flows into the water storage tank 35. As the water volume increases, the upper elastic element 32 is stretched and the lower elastic element 34 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. The center of gravity of the water storage tank 35 gradually shifts. When the water volume in the water storage tank 35 reaches the threshold, the water storage tank 35 rotates around the outer side of the housing 1 due to gravity imbalance. After the water in the water storage tank 35 is emptied, the lower elastic element 34 releases the accumulated elastic potential energy, thereby enabling the inorganic flat plate ultrafiltration membrane 2 to generate a larger amplitude, thereby improving the effect of removing pollutants or impurities on the inorganic flat plate ultrafiltration membrane 2.
[0038] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
