Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrafiltration membrane production technology, and in particular to an ultrafiltration membrane cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes are widely used in water purification, solution separation, and wastewater purification and reuse. During the production of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes, various chemical solvents (such as NMP and DMAC) are typically used as solvents or additives. These solvents play a crucial role in the ultrafiltration membrane formation process, but incomplete evaporation or residual solvents can affect the performance and purity of the ultrafiltration membrane. Therefore, a cleaning step is necessary to ensure that there are no residual solvents or additives on the surface and inside the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane, thereby improving the purity and quality of the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0003] In existing technologies, existing processes mostly rely on the passive immersion of membrane fibers in cleaning solution or rinsing by flow in only one direction, which is difficult to effectively remove contaminants from the surface of membrane fibers, resulting in incomplete cleaning and affecting membrane flux and service life. Traditional filtration structures require shutdown for disassembly and replacement, which not only affects production efficiency but may also lead to discontinuous membrane fiber cleaning due to frequent interruptions, increasing process costs. Therefore, we propose an ultrafiltration membrane cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Depend on Figures 1-5 As shown, an ultrafiltration membrane cleaning device is disclosed, comprising two side plates 1, a cleaning frame 2 fixedly connected between the two side plates 1, a hollow roller 5 rotatably connected inside the cleaning frame 2, bearings fixedly fitted at both ends of the roller 5, the outer rings of the two bearings fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning frame 2, a water pump 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning frame 2, the output end of the water pump 6 fixedly connected to the top of the transparent acrylic tube 10, and the operation of the water pump 6 transports the cleaning liquid in the cleaning frame 2 to the interior of the transparent acrylic tube 10.

[0023] The inner wall of the cleaning frame 2 has two round holes, and the inner walls of the two round holes are fixedly connected to metal tubes 7. One end of each of the two metal tubes 7 is fixedly connected to a hollow circular sleeve 8. The two metal tubes 7 are far from the circular tube 11. The inner walls of the two circular sleeves 8 are evenly provided with multiple water outlet holes 9. One end of each of the two metal tubes 7 is fixedly connected to the same transparent acrylic tube 10. The inner wall of one end of the transparent acrylic tube 10 is slidably connected to the circular tube 11, and the circular tube 11 slides along the transparent acrylic tube 10.

[0024] The top of the cleaning frame 2 is provided with a guide assembly, which includes four support plates 3. The bottom of the four support plates 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning frame 2. The four support plates 3 are rotatably connected to guide rollers 4 in pairs. Existing bearings are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the two guide rollers 4. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 3. Multiple annular grooves are evenly opened on the outer wall of the two guide rollers 4. The multiple annular grooves assist the movement and guidance of multiple hollow fiber membrane filaments.

[0025] The outer wall of the circular tube 11 is provided with a filter assembly, which includes two U-shaped pads 12. Two grooves are opened on the outer wall of the circular tube 11. The inner walls of the two grooves are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two U-shaped pads 12 respectively. The top of the U-shaped pads 12 is fixedly connected to the filter screen 13 by existing screws. The U-shaped pads 12 support the filter screen 13. One end of the circular tube 11 is fixedly connected to an end cap 14. Multiple sealing rings 15 are evenly fixedly embedded on the outer wall of the circular tube 11. The outer wall of the sealing rings 15 is pressed against the inner wall of the transparent acrylic tube 10. The multiple sealing rings 15 increase the sealing between the circular tube 11 and the transparent acrylic tube 10. The outer wall of the end cap 14 is pressed against the outer wall of the transparent acrylic tube 10. The end cap 14 is marked so that the filter screen 13 is aligned with the water inlet end of the water pump 6.

[0026] Working principle: During use, the hollow fiber membrane filaments pass through multiple annular grooves on the two guide rollers 4 and through the inside of the two circular sleeves 8, passing through the bottom of the circular roller 5 in the middle. The hollow fiber membrane filaments are pulled by the existing winding and unwinding equipment. During the movement, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning frame 2 is transported to the inside of the transparent acrylic tube 10 by the water pump 6. The water inlet is located above the filter screen 13 near the end cap 14. The incoming water is filtered through the filter screen 13 and then enters the transparent acrylic tube 10 and the inside of the two metal tubes 7. The cleaning fluid enters the two circular sleeves 8 and exits from multiple water outlets 9 inside the two circular sleeves 8. The process involves flushing multiple hollow fiber membrane filaments. Simultaneously, as these filaments pass through the cleaning frame 2, they are cleaned through the flow of the cleaning solution and their own movement. When it is necessary to replace the filter screen 13, the end cap 14 is moved outward, causing two filter screens 13 to move. This allows the other filter screen 13, which is not currently filtering, to move to the position of the previously filtered filter screen 13, thus achieving a repositioning effect. This eliminates the need to stop the machine to replace the previously filtered filter screen 13. After replacement, the round tube 11 is pushed into the transparent acrylic tube 10, allowing the new filter screen 13 to filter the incoming cleaning solution again.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art.
