Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic membrane carrier preparation technology, specifically to a rapid switching ceramic membrane carrier receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] The mainstream ceramic membrane tubes on the market are round tubes with an outer diameter of 30mm or 40mm, and are typically formed by extrusion molding. Currently, the widely used methods for receiving extruded ceramic membrane carriers are manual receiving or traditional V-shaped or semi-circular air-support receiving. These methods suffer from low receiving efficiency or require frequent replacement of traditional air-supports when developing ceramic membrane products with different outer diameters, resulting in a cumbersome process. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a method for quickly switching ceramic membrane carrier receiving devices. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid switching ceramic membrane carrier receiving device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A quick-change ceramic membrane carrier receiving device includes a fixed base, a quick-change semi-circular air support, a seal, and a snap-fit ​​connection mechanism. The fixed base provides stable support and connects to the production line frame, while the air inlet provides buoyancy to the support.

[0006] The quick-switchable semi-circular air support is detachably installed on the fixed base to support and position the ceramic membrane carrier. The air support has evenly arranged air holes in the inner groove for the air flotation of the ceramic membrane carrier.

[0007] A sealing element is installed between the mating surfaces of the fixed base and the semi-circular wind support to ensure airtightness;

[0008] The snap-fit ​​connection mechanism is used to detachably fix the semi-circular wind support to the fixed base, enabling quick replacement.

[0009] 2. The sealing assembly includes:

[0010] An annular sealing groove is formed in the fixed base; an elastic sealing ring (302) is embedded in the annular sealing groove (301);

[0011] The sealing and pressing surface is formed on the mating end face of the semi-circular wind support.

[0012] 3. The snap-fit ​​connection mechanism includes: a slot on the fixed base; a snap-fit ​​on the semi-circular fan holder, which matches and locks with the slot; and a quick-release handle for manually unlocking the snap-fit ​​to enable quick replacement of the semi-circular fan holder.

[0013] 4. The semi-circular wind support is made of recrystallized silicon carbide ceramic, polytetrafluoroethylene, graphite, or aluminum alloy.

[0014] 5. The diameter of the semi-circular fan holder is adjustable, such as 15mm, 50mm or 60mm, which allows for quick switching between different diameter semi-circular fan holders without changing the base, enabling the reception of ceramic membranes of different sizes (such as common ceramic membranes with outer diameters of 12mm, 30mm or 40mm).

[0015] 6. The carrier bearing surface (201) of the semi-circular wind support (2) is provided with: a uniformly distributed air hole array (202) with a hole diameter of 0.5-2mm;

[0016] 7. A microwave generator can be installed inside the base. The hot air generated by the microwave will pre-dry and shape the ceramic membrane carrier above the semi-circular air support, maintaining the roundness of the membrane tube.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. This device can automatically switch ceramic membrane carriers, avoiding the inefficiency of manual handling;

[0019] 2. This device can quickly switch ceramic membrane carriers for pickup, meeting the R&D needs of various specifications of ceramic membrane carriers;

[0020] 3. This device is expandable. By installing a microwave generator on the base, the ceramic membrane carrier can be picked up and pre-dried simultaneously. Attached Figure Description
