[0027] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0028] Specific implementation method one: See Figures 1-5 This embodiment is described in detail. The device for continuous electro-deionization filter media filling described in this embodiment specifically includes a base 1, two hydraulic cylinders 4, a swing main beam 7, a sliding table structure, and a housing fixing structure. A rotating shaft 2 is provided on the longitudinal beam in the middle of the base 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the longitudinal beam, with the two hydraulic cylinders 4 being symmetrical about the longitudinal beam. The bottom surface of the swing main beam 7 is rotatably connected to the base 1 via the rotating shaft 2, and can rotate around the rotating shaft 2. A hydraulic cylinder 4 is connected to each of the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the swing main beam 7. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the transverse connecting rod of the base 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the swing main beam 7. Two linear rails and a rack are provided on the upper surface of the swing main beam 7. A sliding table structure and a housing fixing structure are slidably arranged on the linear rails. The sliding table structure is driven to move on the linear rails by a drive device and the rack. The housing fixing structure includes two limiting plates 11 and several drag wheels 13. The limiting plates 11 and drag wheels 13 are all slidably arranged on the linear rails via locking linear sliders. Figures 1 to 3 The left-side limiting plate 11 is fixed as the fixed end and does not move axially along the swing main beam. The outer shell 10 is fixed by moving the right-side limiting plate 11. When placing the outer shell 10, it is supported by several tug wheels 13. During the placement of the outer shell 10, the swing main beam 7 is in a horizontal state.
[0029] The slide structure includes a right cross slide 8 and a left cross slide 13. The right cross slide 8 is slidably mounted on the right end of the swing main beam 7 via a linear rail, and the left cross slide 13 is slidably mounted on the left end of the swing main beam 7 via a linear rail. A filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 is provided on the right cross slide 8, and a servo telescopic mechanism 12 is provided on the left cross slide 13. Both the telescopic ends of the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 and the servo telescopic mechanism 12 are provided with perforated plates, which can filter the powder that falls during the assembly process.
[0030] A shaped guide plate 5 is provided on the right-side cross slide 8. The shaped guide plate 5, in conjunction with the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9, loads filter media into the outer casing 10. The shaped guide plate 5 is an arc-shaped plate that provides circumferential support to the filter media, and its end is provided with several protruding structures, such as... Figure 4As shown, this ensures that the filter media detaches from the irregularly shaped guide plate 5 in stages during loading, avoiding vibration caused by a one-time detachment that could break the filter media. During filter media loading, the right end of the swing main beam 7 is tilted up by the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the left end contacts the base 1. The servo telescopic mechanism 12 first passes through the limit plate and enters the outer shell 10. The bottom of the filter media is supported by the perforated plate at the top of the servo telescopic mechanism. The filter media is compacted by the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9. After the filter media is compacted, the servo telescopic mechanism 12 retracts, and the telescopic end of the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 extends synchronously, ensuring the stability of the filter media during installation.
[0031] The right-side cross slide 8 is equipped with a component installation telescopic platform 6, which is switched between working positions via a motor-driven component installation telescopic platform 6 and filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9. The left-side cross slide 13 is also equipped with a component installation telescopic platform 6, which is switched between working positions via a motor-driven component installation telescopic platform 6 and servo telescopic mechanism 12. The telescopic end of the component installation telescopic platform 6 is equipped with a perforated plate to filter powder that falls during assembly. After the filter media is filled, the component installation telescopic platform 6 on the right-side cross slide 8 is switched to a position concentric with the outer shell 10, and the end plate component is pressed into the outer shell 10 via the component installation telescopic platform 6. After the right-side end plate is installed, the left end of the swing main beam 7 is raised under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the left-side end plate is installed via the installation telescopic platform 6 on the left-side cross slide 13.
[0032] The specific working process of the device for continuous electro-desalination filter media filling described in this utility model is as follows:
[0033] The equipment is equipped with a corresponding hydraulic pump station and a PLC control system, which uses sensors to control the action logic.
[0034] Initially, the base 1 is fixed to the ground, and the hydraulic cylinders 4 on both sides below the swing main beam 7 extend at equal distances. The swing main beam 7 is in a horizontal state, and the left limiting plate 11 is a fixed end that does not move axially along the swing main beam. The continuous electro-deionization (EDI) product housing 10 is placed horizontally above the trolley 3. The right limiting plate 11 is moved to the left to press the continuous electro-deionization (EDI) product housing 10 tightly through the limiting plate 11. The slider below the right limiting plate 11 is then locked to fix it. The right cross slide 8 moves along the Y-axis to align the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 with the inner hole of the housing 10. The servo motor drives the right cross slide 8 to move axially along the swing main beam 7 until the irregular guide plate 5 enters the inner hole of the housing 10. The left cross slide 13 moves along the Y-axis, aligning the servo telescopic mechanism 12 with the inner hole of the housing 10. The servo motor drives the left cross slide 13 to move along the swing main beam 7 toward the housing 10 and reach the preset position. The servo telescopic mechanism 12 extends, and the perforated plate at the front end of the servo telescopic mechanism 12 passes through the inner hole of the housing 10 to the right end face of the housing 10.
[0035] The left hydraulic cylinder 4 retracts, the right hydraulic cylinder 4 extends, the swing main beam 7 rotates around the rotating shaft 2, the right side of the swing main beam 7 rises, and the shell 10 forms an angle with the ground.
[0036] Manually stack the fragile and relatively soft filter media obliquely into the special-shaped guide plate 5 at one time. The special-shaped guide plate 5 provides circumferential support for the filter media. The bottom of the filter media is supported by the hole plate at the top of the servo telescopic mechanism 12. When a considerable amount of filter media is stacked, the cylinder of the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 extends to compact the filter media. After a certain delay time, the servo telescopic mechanism 12 retracts a specified distance. During the retraction process of the servo telescopic mechanism 12, the cylinder of the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 continues to extend at the same speed as the servo telescopic mechanism 12 under the support of compressed air to ensure the stability of this group of filter media during the installation process of the filter media. After the servo telescopic mechanism 12 retracts the specified distance, the retraction stops, and the cylinder of the filter media installation telescopic mechanism 9 retracts to the initial position, and so on until enough filter media is filled.
[0037] When the quantity of the filter media is sufficient, the servo motor drives the right cross slide 8 to retreat to the set fitting installation distance. Manually place the end plate fitting for the cylindrical EDI product on the right end face of the shell 10. The right cross slide 8 moves along the Y-axis, switches the fitting installation telescopic mechanism 6 to the concentric position with the shell 10, the cylinder of the fitting installation telescopic mechanism 6 extends, presses the end plate fitting into the interior of the shell 10, and then retracts. The right cross slide 8 retreats along the swing main beam 7 to the standby position, and manually installs and fixes other fittings.
[0038] After the installation of the right end fitting is completed, manually give the equipment a confirmation command. The right hydraulic cylinder 4 below the swing main beam 7 retracts, and at the same time the left hydraulic cylinder 4 extends to exchange the heights of the left and right sides of the swing main beam. When the swing angle reaches the specified position, the left cross slide 13 moves to the left to withdraw the servo telescopic mechanism 12 from the inner hole of the membrane housing. The left cross slide 13 moves along the Y-axis, switches the fitting installation telescopic mechanism 6 on the left cross slide 13 to the concentric position with the shell 10, and repeats the installation actions of the end plate and fittings on the right side to complete the assembly of the cylindrical EDI product.
[0039] Manually give the equipment a confirmation command. The left hydraulic cylinder 4 below the swing main beam 7 retracts, and the right hydraulic cylinder 4 extends to stop after the swing main beam 7 reaches the horizontal position. Remove the limit plate 11 on the right side of the shell 10, and use a lifting tool to unload the assembled cylindrical EDI product. Complete all assembly actions.
[0040] The effective elongation distance of the servo telescopic mechanism 12 can be customized according to requirements. The servo telescopic mechanism 12 is driven by a servo motor, which can meet the requirements for product changeover of different lengths. Thus, the assembly of products with different lengths can be achieved.
[0041] In summary, the device for filling continuous electro-deionized filter media described in this invention, through the cooperation of a servo telescopic mechanism and a filter media installation telescopic mechanism, enables the reciprocating stacking of filter media during filling. This ensures the stability of each group of filter media during installation and prevents breakage during filling. Simultaneously, it solves the problem of limited product length and eliminates the need for manual filling. Furthermore, the device allows the continuous electro-deionized filter media to swing alternately left and right with the swinging main beam via a hydraulic cylinder, enabling low-altitude assembly within long tubes. This changes the traditional vertical fixed filling mode of continuous electro-deionized (EDI) products and solves the problem of vertical assembly being difficult to reverse, preventing the discharge of internal impurities.
[0042] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. They can also be reasonable combinations of the features described in the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
