[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3A rapid detection device for molecular sieve membrane separation performance includes six detection structures, which are equally spaced and installed on the front of a cabinet 5. Each detection structure includes a tube 1, an upper cap 2, a lower cap 3, and a water receiving bottle 4. The tube 1 is a transparent plastic tube, vertically installed and fixed to the front of the cabinet 5 by a bracket. It has a round opening at its bottom and an air hole at its top. A liquid level sensor is installed inside the tube 1. The length of the tube 1 is greater than the length of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13. Both the upper cap 2 and the molecular sieve membrane tube 13 can be inserted through the round opening at the bottom of the tube 1. The bottom of the upper cap 2 and the top of the lower cap 3 have round holes for inserting the ends of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13. The upper cap 2 and the lower cap 3 cover the two ends of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13 to be tested through the round holes. An O-shaped device is fixed inside the round hole. After the end of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13 is inserted into the round hole, the O-ring makes tight contact with the outside of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13. Its function is to seal the gap between the two end caps and the molecular sieve membrane tube 13. The lower end cap 3 is threaded to the round opening at the bottom of the tube body 1, and the connection is sealed by a sealing ring. The lower end cap 3 has a water outlet in the middle. The water receiving bottle 4 is a colorless and transparent plastic bottle with volume markings. The upper part of the water receiving bottle 4 has a water inlet and a vent. The water inlet of the water receiving bottle 4 is threaded to the water outlet of the lower end cap 3, and the connection is sealed by a sealing ring. The upper part of the cabinet 5 has a dye water tank 6, and the lower part has a wastewater tank 7. Both the dye water tank 6 and the wastewater tank 7 are transparent plastic tanks, and both are equipped with liquid level sensors. The dye water tank 6 has a water outlet in the middle of the tube body 1. The unit is equipped with a water inlet, and the wastewater tank 7 has a drain outlet at the bottom connected to a drain pipe. The outlet of the drain pipe passes through the side wall of the cabinet 5 and is equipped with a valve. The cabinet 5 is also equipped with an alarm. When the liquid level sensor in the dye water tank 6 detects that the liquid level is lower than the preset value, or when the liquid level sensor in the wastewater tank 7 detects that the liquid level is higher than the preset value, the alarm is triggered to remind the operator to add liquid to the dye water tank 6 or drain the wastewater tank 7 in time. The top and bottom of each pipe body 1 are connected to the bottom of the dye water tank 6 and the top of the wastewater tank 7 respectively through pipes. The pipe body 1 is located below the dye water tank 6, and a first solenoid valve 10 is installed on the connecting pipe between it and the dye water tank 6. The pipe body 1 is located above the wastewater tank 7, and a valve is installed on the connecting pipe between it and the wastewater tank 7. The second solenoid valve 11, when opened, allows the solution in the dye tank 6 to be discharged into the pipe body 1 by gravity. Opening the second solenoid valve 11 allows the solution in the pipe body 1 to be discharged into the wastewater tank 7 by gravity. The cabinet 5 also houses six vacuum pumps 8, each with a hose 9 connected to its inlet. These hoses 9 are vacuum hoses, and are threaded to the exhaust ports of the six receiving bottles 4 of the detection structures. The connections are sealed with sealing rings. This system expels air from the receiving bottles 4, creating a negative pressure environment. A vacuum gauge is installed at the connection between the inlet of the vacuum pump 8 and the hose 9 to detect the air pressure inside the receiving bottles 4. The cabinet 5 is equipped with a controller 12 to control the operation of the control device.The side of rack 5 has ventilation holes to help dissipate heat from the vacuum pump 8 inside. A maintenance door is located at the rear of rack 5; when it is necessary to add water to the dye tank 6 or to perform maintenance on the vacuum pump 8, this door can be opened for operation.

[0022] Operating Procedure: Before using the device, open the inspection door on the back of cabinet 5, add a mixture of dye and water to dye tank 6, and place the upper cap 2 and lower cap 3 on both ends of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13 to be tested. Then, insert the upper cap 2 and the molecular sieve membrane tube 13 through the round opening at the bottom of the tube body 1, and connect the lower cap 3 to the round opening via threads. Then, connect the inlet of the water bottle 4 to the outlet of the lower cap 3 via threads, and then connect the hose 9 to the vent of the water bottle 4 via threads. Based on the length of the molecular sieve membrane tube 13, set the liquid level in the tube body 1 on the controller 12 to ensure that the liquid level completely submerges the upper cap 2 and the molecular sieve membrane tube 13. After all preparations are complete, start the device. The first solenoid valve 10 will open, and the solution in dye tank 6 will flow into the tube body 1 by gravity until the liquid level in the tube body 1 reaches the set value. 10. Turn off the vacuum pump 8 and start the vacuum pump 8 to expel the air from the water receiving bottle 4, creating a negative pressure state inside the water receiving bottle 4 and the molecular sieve membrane tube 13. Under negative pressure, water molecules in the solution in the tube 1 quickly pass through the molecular sieve membrane on the molecular sieve membrane tube 13, then flow down the tube wall and enter the water receiving bottle 4 through the outlet of the lower end cap 3. Meanwhile, the dye molecules in the solution remain in the tube 1. After a period of time, check the color and liquid level of the water in the water receiving bottle 4. This allows for a quick assessment of the separation performance of the molecular sieve membrane. When multiple molecular sieve membranes are tested simultaneously, the color and liquid level of the water in the water receiving bottle 4 can also be compared to quickly determine the separation performance of different molecular sieve membranes. After the test is completed, turn off the vacuum pump 8 and open the second solenoid valve 12 to discharge the solution in the tube 1 into the wastewater tank 7 by gravity. After the solution in the tube 1 is completely discharged, the water receiving bottle 4 and the molecular sieve membrane tube 13 can be disassembled.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
