Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of MBR membrane cleaning technology, and in particular to an MBR membrane cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] MBR, or membrane bioreactor, is a novel water treatment technology that combines membrane separation units with biological treatment units. It is applied in wastewater treatment, water resource reuse, and other fields. It primarily utilizes membrane separation technology to retain substances such as proteins, microorganisms, and silt in wastewater, effectively achieving solid-liquid separation. This significantly improves effluent quality and reduces the reactor's footprint.
[0003] The MBR membrane is a critical component of the MBR system; however, impurities filtered by the membrane easily deposit on its surface, leading to a decrease in permeate flow. Frequent cleaning is necessary to ensure stable membrane flux. Current technologies for MBR membrane cleaning categorize it into online cleaning and offline cleaning. Online cleaning is performed while the membrane module is running, without requiring the module to be removed. Online cleaning is simple to operate and suitable for routine maintenance and cleaning of minor fouling, delaying membrane fouling and restoring flux. Offline cleaning requires removing the membrane module and transferring it to a pre-designated cleaning device. Offline cleaning is suitable when online cleaning cannot restore membrane performance and can significantly improve membrane performance.
[0004] Offline cleaning first requires initial rinsing of the MBR membrane using a high-pressure water pump to remove most impurities, facilitating further processing. In existing technologies, rinsing requires manual operation. However, MBR membranes typically have significant height and width, and the spacing between adjacent rows is limited. Manual rinsing can only reach the edges of the membrane, not the center, resulting in limited rinsing effectiveness and hindering further processing. Furthermore, MBR membranes are usually composed of numerous hollow fiber filaments, typically arranged vertically. During manual rinsing, the excessive water flow causes violent shaking of the filaments, easily leading to breakage and other damage. Additionally, rinsing from the side can cause uneven filament arrangement, affecting membrane lifespan. Therefore, effectively rinsing MBR membranes while avoiding damage and other lifespan-affecting conditions is a crucial issue that technical personnel need to address. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments: like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model is applied to the cleaning of MBR membranes. The hollow fiber MBR membrane is composed of a large number of hollow fiber filaments, arranged in multiple curtain-like plate-like intervals. The MBR membrane is cleaned periodically or offline when online cleaning cannot guarantee membrane flux. During offline cleaning, the entire MBR membrane is hoisted into the cleaning tank. Before chemical treatment in the clear water tank, the surface of the MBR membrane needs to be preliminarily cleaned to remove surface-adhered impurities. The cleaning assembly is driven downwards between two MBR membrane curtains by the second and third drive components, simultaneously rinsing the membrane surface with nozzles and brushing with brushes; the cleaning assembly is driven by the first drive component to clean each MBR membrane curtain individually. Specifically: An MBR membrane cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 1 and a cleaning device 2 disposed above the cleaning tank 1. The height of the cleaning tank 1 is greater than the height of the MBR membrane to prevent turbulence of impurities during rinsing and to ensure complete immersion during subsequent chemical soaking treatment. The cleaning device 2 can be fixedly disposed above the cleaning tank 1, or it can be made movable, provided that it does not interfere with the installation of the MBR membrane.
[0018] The cleaning device 2 includes an adjusting component 3 and a cleaning component 4. The cleaning component 4 includes a first mounting plate 41 and a pipe 42 connected to the first mounting plate 41. The pipe 42 is connected to a water pump (not shown in the figure) and is equipped with nozzles 43. There are multiple nozzles 43, which are respectively connected to both sides of the pipe 42. While the adjusting component 3 drives the cleaning component 4 to move vertically, the nozzles 43 on both sides spray water to clean the two adjacent sets of MBR membranes. Brushes 44 are provided on both sides of the first mounting plate 41, with each brush 44 positioned above and below the nozzles 43.
[0019] In this embodiment, clean water is injected into pipe 42 by a water pump, and then sprayed out through nozzle 43. The specifications of the water pump or nozzle 43 can be selected to ensure that the water sprayed from the nozzle 43 has a certain pressure, thus guaranteeing effective rinsing. The ends of the brushes 44 extend beyond the ends of the nozzle 43, and the distance between the ends of the brushes 44 on both sides should be greater than the distance between two adjacent MBR curtains, so that the MBR membrane can be brushed during rinsing.
[0020] The adjustment component 3 includes a first drive component 31 disposed above the clear water tank and driven horizontally, a second drive component 32 connected to the first drive component 31 and driven vertically, and a third drive component 33 connected to the second drive component 32 and driven vertically. The first mounting plate 41 is connected to the third drive component 33.
[0021] The first drive assembly 31 includes a first driver 311, a first lead screw 312 connected to the first driver 311, a first connecting plate 313 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 312, and a first guide rod 314 arranged parallel to the first lead screw 312, the first guide rod 314 passing through the first connecting plate 313; the first driver 311 drives the first lead screw 312 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting plate 313 to move on the first guide rod 314. The second drive assembly 32 includes a second driver 321 disposed on the first connecting plate 313, and a second lead screw 322 vertically disposed and passing through the first connecting plate 313; a first transmission wheel 323 is disposed on the second lead screw 322, the first transmission wheel 323 being threadedly connected to the second lead screw 322, and the second driver 321 being connected to the first transmission wheel 323 via a belt; the second driver 321 drives the first transmission wheel 323 to rotate, thereby driving the second lead screw 322 to move in the vertical direction. The third drive assembly 33 includes a second connecting plate 331, a third driver 332 disposed on the second connecting plate 331, and a third lead screw 333 vertically disposed and connected to the first mounting plate 41 through the second connecting plate 331 at its lower end; a second transmission wheel 334 is disposed on the third lead screw 333, the second transmission wheel 334 is threadedly connected to the third lead screw 333, and the third driver 332 is connected to the second transmission wheel 334 through a belt; the third driver 332 drives the second transmission wheel 334 to rotate, thereby driving the third lead screw 333 to move in the vertical direction.
[0022] In this embodiment, the first driver, second driver, and third driver can all be motors or other devices capable of driving rotation. The first drive assembly 31 drives the cleaning assembly 4 to move laterally, so that the cleaning assembly 4 passes over two adjacent MBR membrane curtains one by one, so as to clean all MBR membrane curtains one by one. The second drive assembly 32 and the third drive assembly 33 both drive the cleaning assembly 4 to move vertically, and can clean from top to bottom and from bottom to top. A second guide rod 324 is disposed through the first connecting plate 313. The second guide rod 324 is vertically arranged and its lower end is connected to the second connecting plate 331. A third guide rod 335 is disposed through the second connecting plate 331. The third guide rod 335 is vertically arranged and its lower end is connected to the first mounting plate 41. The first guide rod 314, the second guide rod 324, and the third guide rod 335 all play a guiding and balancing role, so as to make the movement of the cleaning assembly 4 more stable.
