Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of RO membrane core assembly technology, and specifically relates to an RO membrane core assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] The RO membrane core is the core structural component of the RO reverse osmosis membrane element, typically made of materials such as plastic. It provides support and fixation for the membrane, ensuring a stable structural shape during operation. Functionally, the RO membrane core has a multi-layered microporous structure composed of numerous membrane fibers, each with nanometer-sized pores. During reverse osmosis, with the aid of external pressure, water flows from the high-concentration side (containing impurities) to the low-concentration side (pure water). Bacteria, colloids, salts, and other impurities are blocked because they cannot pass through the pores of the membrane fibers, while small molecules such as water molecules pass through smoothly, thus purifying the water and producing high-purity water. RO membrane cores are widely used in various reverse osmosis water treatment equipment, such as household water purifiers, commercial drinking water systems, industrial ultrapure water production, and seawater desalination, and are a key component for ensuring water quality purification.

[0003] Currently, the assembly of RO membrane cores relies heavily on manual operation. Manually arranging the membrane fibers makes it difficult to ensure their orientation, leading to frequent problems like fiber crossing and entanglement, which affect the performance and quality of the membrane core. In the fiber winding stage, precise control of winding tightness is difficult, resulting in uneven stress on the fibers and a tendency for fiber breakage, reducing the product yield. Furthermore, traditional methods for fixing the membrane bundle ends are inefficient and produce inconsistent results. While some existing automated equipment can partially automate the assembly process, the lack of effective linkage between functional modules fails to fundamentally solve key issues such as fiber orientation, uniform tension control, and efficient fixing of the membrane bundle ends. This makes it difficult to meet the demands of efficient and high-quality RO membrane core production. Therefore, we need to upgrade and transform existing technologies. Utility Model Content

A membrane fiber unwinding frame 8 includes a fixing frame 81, a retaining ring 82 and an unwinding roller 83.

[0027] Preferably, in the vibrating fiber-sorting module 4, the ultrasonic vibrating roller 43 is installed at the top of the inclined fiber-sorting groove 42, the parallel comb teeth 44 are located inside the inclined fiber-sorting groove 42, the guide roller 45 is installed at the bottom of the inclined fiber-sorting groove 42, and the vibrating motor 46 is connected to the vibrating platform 41 and drives its vibration.

[0028] Preferably, in the tension feedback system 6, the tension sensor 62 is mounted on the mounting bracket 61, and the pneumatic tension adjusting arm 63 is connected to the tension sensor 62 and controlled by its feedback signal. This clarifies the connection relationship and control logic between the tension sensor 62 and the pneumatic tension adjusting arm 63 in the tension feedback system 6, and precisely defines the specific way in which the system realizes the membrane tension feedback adjustment function.

[0029] Preferably, in the infrared welder 7, the rotating base 72 is mounted on the fixed plate 71, the robotic arm 73 is connected to the rotating base 72 and can rotate relative to it, and the heating head 74 is mounted on the end of the robotic arm 73. The connection and cooperation relationship between the fixed plate 71, the rotating base 72, the robotic arm 73 and the heating head 74 in the infrared welder 7 are explained in detail, the mechanical structure of the component is clearly presented, and the applicability of the device is increased.

[0030] Preferably, in the unwinding frame 8, the unwinding roller 83 is mounted on the fixed frame 81 via the retaining ring 82. This specifically illustrates the installation relationship between the unwinding roller 83, the retaining ring 82, and the fixed frame 81 in the unwinding frame 8, making the structure of this component simple and clear, and increasing the practicality and convenience of the device.

[0031] Preferably, a support leg 3 is fixedly provided under the workbench 2. Multiple sets of support legs 3 are provided, which increases the stability of the device and ensures the safety of the device during use.

[0032] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the membrane filament roll is installed on the unwinding roller 83 of the membrane filament unwinding frame 8. The membrane filament is released from the unwinding roller 83 and enters the vibrating filament-arranging module 4. The vibrating motor 46 drives the vibrating platform 41 to vibrate, causing the inclined filament-arranging groove 42 to also vibrate. Within the inclined filament-arranging groove 42, the membrane filament is oriented and aligned under the auxiliary vibration of the ultrasonic vibrating roller 43 and the guiding action of the parallel comb teeth 44. Finally, it is guided out through the guide roller 45. One end of the oriented membrane filament is fixed to the membrane filament fixing clamp 52 of the winding rotary table 5. The circular table 51 rotates, causing the membrane filament to wind around the membrane core mold (not shown in the diagram), which can be installed at the membrane filament fixing clamp 52. During the membrane filament winding process, the tension feedback system 6 plays a role. When the membrane filament passes through the tension sensor 62, the tension sensor 62 detects the membrane filament tension in real time and feeds the signal back to the control system. When tension becomes abnormal, the control system drives the pneumatic tension adjusting arm 63 to adjust the membrane fiber tension, ensuring uniform tension during winding. Once the membrane fiber has been wound to the set number of turns, the infrared welder 7 starts working. The robotic arm 73, with the cooperation of the rotating base 72, moves to the end of the membrane bundle. The heating head 74 emits infrared radiation to heat and weld the end of the membrane bundle, achieving rapid fixation of the membrane bundle end.
