Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RO membrane installation technology, and more specifically, to a convenient tool for installing and disassembling RO membrane components in water treatment equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Reverse osmosis (RO) technology, as a highly efficient membrane separation technology, plays a crucial role in various fields such as seawater desalination, industrial wastewater treatment, landfill leachate treatment, and drinking water purification due to its excellent desalination rate, water flux, and antifouling performance. As the core component of RO technology, the overall installation quality and efficiency directly affect the performance and operational stability of the entire water treatment system. The RO membrane housing end cap is a key component in the RO system, and its primary function is to provide a strong seal. A tight seal between the RO membrane housing end cap and the membrane housing effectively prevents water from leaking out from both ends of the membrane housing. In high-pressure RO membrane systems, if the RO membrane housing end cap is not properly sealed, water will leak from both ends of the membrane housing and the RO membrane housing end cap, causing the system to malfunction and posing a threat to equipment and personal safety. A good seal also prevents pressure leakage, ensuring a sufficient pressure difference across the membrane element to drive water molecules through the reverse osmosis membrane, ensuring that water flows along the designed path within the membrane system, achieving a highly efficient filtration and separation process.

[0003] In addition to sealing and maintaining pressure, the RO membrane housing end caps also provide physical support to secure the membrane element. The RO membrane housing end caps firmly hold the membrane element in a specific position within the membrane housing, preventing displacement or shaking caused by water flow impacts, system vibrations, or other external forces. A stable membrane element position helps maintain uniform water flow distribution, thereby maximizing membrane surface area, improving filtration efficiency, and extending membrane lifespan.

[0004] Currently, the difficulty of installing and disassembling RO membrane modules has been a persistent problem in the industry. There are currently no professional installation tools available on the market, and traditional installation methods often require multiple workers to hammer the RO membrane or membrane housing end caps to press it into the RO membrane housing. RO membranes used in the water treatment industry are mostly in series, meaning multiple RO membrane elements are connected in series within a single housing. When installing RO membranes, when there are five or more membranes in the housing, they are pushed in sequentially. However, when pushing in beyond the fifth membrane, the weight and friction of the preceding membranes make it difficult to push them in, and the RO membrane module itself is relatively fragile and easily damaged. Special care must be taken during installation to avoid any scratches, compression, or damage to the RO membrane module. Disassembly tools are inconvenient to use, requiring constant adjustments or replacements. These operations are not only complex and time-consuming but also prone to uneven stress on the module, leading to damage or performance degradation. To improve the installation efficiency and quality of RO membrane modules, it is necessary to propose a convenient tool for installing and disassembling RO membrane modules in water treatment equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a convenient tool for installing and disassembling RO membrane modules in water treatment equipment. It aims to improve the situation where special care must be taken during installation to avoid any scratches, compression, or damage to the RO membrane modules.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient tool for installing and disassembling RO membrane components in a water treatment device, including a fixing component 100 and a disassembly component 200.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 The fixing component 100 includes a first fixing member 110 and a second fixing member 120. The second fixing member 120 is mounted on the first fixing member 110, and a locking member 130 is mounted on the second fixing member 120.

[0026] The first fixing member 110 includes four support rods 111, with a fixing ring 112 and an internal threaded sleeve 113 fixed to each end of the four support rods 111 respectively. A first threaded post 114 is circumferentially fixed to the surface of the fixing ring 112, and a first nut 115 is threaded onto the first threaded post 114. The second fixing member 120 includes a clamp 121 and a connecting strip 123. A second threaded post 122 corresponding to the first threaded post 114 is fixed to the surface of the clamp 121, and the connecting strip 123 is engaged with the first threaded post 114. A first threaded post 114 and a second threaded post 122 are threaded together, with a second nut 124 threaded onto the second threaded post 122. A first through hole 1211 is provided on the clamp 121, and a second through hole 1231 and a third through hole 1232, matching the first threaded post 114 and the second threaded post 122, are correspondingly provided on the connecting strip 123. Several second through holes 1231 are spaced apart, allowing for the use of RO membrane housings of various lengths. A locking component 130 includes a double-ended screw 131 and a third nut 132. The double-ended screw 131 passes through the first through hole 1211, and the third nut 132 is threaded onto both ends of the double-ended screw 131. The locking component 130 can be used to install and fix the clamp 121 onto the RO membrane housing.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 The disassembly assembly 200 includes a rotating part 210 and a movable part 220. The rotating part 210 is mounted on the first fixed part 110, and the movable part 220 is mounted on the rotating part 210. A third threaded post 230 passes through the movable part 220, and a fixing rod 231 is fixed on the third threaded post 230.

[0028] The rotating component 210 includes a threaded rod 211 and a rotating handle 212. The threaded rod 211 is threaded through an inner threaded sleeve 113, and the rotating handle 212 slides through the upper end of the threaded rod 211. The upper end of the threaded rod 211 has a circular hole that matches the rotating handle 212 for insertion. The movable component 220 includes four support plates 221 and bearings 224. The two ends of the four support plates 221 are respectively fixed with pads 222 and rings 223. The bearings 224 are fixed inside the rings 223, and the lower end of the threaded rod 211 is fixed in the inner ring of the bearings 224. The up-and-down movement of the threaded rod 211 can drive the movable component 220 to move up and down, while the pads 222 can push the RO membrane housing end cap to move. A protective pad 225 is fixed to the bottom of the pad 222. The pad 222 and the protective pad 225 have an oblong hole 2221 that matches the threaded hole. The third threaded post 230 passes through the oblong hole 2221 and is threaded into the threaded hole. When disassembling the third threaded post 230, the screw on the threaded hole can be removed first, and then the third threaded post 230 can be screwed into the threaded hole. This makes it easy to lift the RO membrane housing end cap upward for disassembly. The protective pad 225 can reduce the contact hardness and effectively protect the RO membrane and the RO membrane housing end cap.

[0029] An end cap groove is formed at the upper part of the RO membrane housing. An RO membrane housing end cap is slidably installed at the upper end of the RO membrane housing. The RO membrane housing end cap has a threaded hole, and a screw is threaded into the threaded hole.

[0030] Specifically, the working principle of the RO membrane module installation and disassembly tool in this portable water treatment equipment is as follows: During installation, the clamp 121 is placed on the outside of the RO membrane housing and then fixed by the locking member 130. Then, the second through hole 1231 and the third through hole 1232 on the connecting strip 123 are respectively fitted onto the first threaded post 114 and the second threaded post 122, and fixed by the first nut 115 and the second nut 124. Thus, the movable part 220 is positioned directly above the RO membrane housing. Then, by rotating the handle 212, the threaded rod 211 is rotated, causing the threaded rod 211 to move downwards and thus moving the movable part 220 downwards. The protective pad 225 under the pad 222 contacts the RO membrane housing end cap and is pressed downwards to move it into place. When disassembling, unscrew the screws on the RO membrane housing end cap to expose the threaded hole. Then, thread the third threaded post 230 through the oblong hole 2221 and connect it to the inside of the threaded hole. Then, rotate the threaded rod 211 in the opposite direction to remove the RO membrane housing end cap. This allows the RO membrane assembly to be subjected to more even force during disassembly, reducing damage. At the same time, standardized disassembly tools can reduce the time spent changing tools, making disassembly simpler and more convenient. This helps to save manpower, reduce the difficulty of operation, and improve the efficiency and quality of disassembly.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. 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.
