Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of reverse osmosis water purification devices, and in particular relates to a self-cleaning reverse osmosis membrane filter. Background Technology
[0002] A reverse osmosis membrane is an artificial semi-permeable membrane with certain characteristics, made by simulating a biological semi-permeable membrane. Under pressure, it allows water to pass through while preventing impurities such as salts, colloids, bacteria, and viruses from passing through, thus purifying the water and separating solutes. The surface of a reverse osmosis membrane has many tiny pores. Generally, water molecules are small and have a certain affinity for the membrane material, allowing them to pass through the membrane pores smoothly. However, impurities such as salt ions cannot pass through the membrane pores due to their larger ionic radius or mutual repulsion with the charge on the membrane surface. This achieves the separation of water and impurities. A reverse osmosis membrane filter is a water treatment device that uses a reverse osmosis membrane as its core filtration element. It mainly works based on the principle of reverse osmosis.
[0003] The aforementioned existing technologies often have the following problems when used:
[0004] Existing reverse osmosis membrane filters lack proper cleaning measures for the reverse osmosis membrane during use. While the filter operates, the reverse osmosis membrane purifies the water source. However, during this process, the membrane accumulates a large amount of impurities and particulate matter. Without corresponding treatment measures, the filtration efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane filter will be too low. Cleaning the reverse osmosis membrane often involves chemical cleaning methods, using chemicals to dissolve or decompose the impurities attached to the membrane. However, this process requires ensuring thorough mixing of the chemicals and solvents to improve subsequent cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the solvent must be sufficiently clean when added. Therefore, appropriate treatment measures are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] After a period of use, a large amount of dirt will accumulate on the reverse osmosis membrane inside the reverse osmosis membrane filter body 1, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency. At this time, relevant cleaning measures are required. Before cleaning, a cleaning solution is prepared by combining the homogenizing and filtering components. The solvent and solute are added to the water storage tank 2 through the cylinder 21, and the motor 14 is started. The motor 14 drives the first rotating shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 17 to rotate. Through meshing transmission, the first bevel gear 18 and the second rotating shaft 16 rotate. When the solute and solvent are added into the cylinder 21, the sieve holes on the baffle 22 will filter them, thereby helping to improve the filtration efficiency. The cleanliness of the solution is important, but as the amount added increases, impurities may accumulate on the surface of the sieve holes, affecting the filtration efficiency. At this time, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 16 will drive the drive wheel 24 to rotate. The drive wheel 24 drives the driven wheel 25 and the third rotating shaft 23 to rotate through the belt 26. The rotation of the third rotating shaft 23 drives multiple strip cleaning brushes to revolve and clean the back of the sieve holes, so that impurities no longer accumulate on the top of the sieve holes, which helps to improve the filtration efficiency of solute and solvent. When the solute and solvent are added to the water storage tank 2, the rotating second rotating shaft 16 drives multiple stirring rods 19 to revolve, which will stir the solute and solvent, making the two more evenly mixed, which helps to improve the subsequent cleaning efficiency.
[0029] After the cleaning solution is prepared, open valve 11 and valve 13 and start water pump 9. Water pump 9 draws the cleaning solution from water tank 2 into water pipe 10 for transport. The cleaning solution enters the reverse osmosis membrane through water inlet pipe 4, effectively dissolving or decomposing the impurities and dirt deposited in the reverse osmosis membrane. The cleaning solution flows from top to bottom and is discharged through wastewater outlet 6. It then returns to water pipe 12 through water outlet pipe 8 and then back to water tank 2 through water pipe 12, achieving a circulating flow. In this way, the impurities and dirt deposited in the reverse osmosis membrane are continuously cleaned, thus achieving efficient self-cleaning operation. After cleaning is completed, close valve 11 and valve 13, and the reverse osmosis membrane filter body 1 can be put into normal operation.
