[0017] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments are further illustrations of this utility model, but the content of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an ultrafiltration device has a filter membrane 3 structure, including a housing 1 and a filter element structure disposed therein, wherein the filter element structure is composed of a lower end 2, a filter membrane 3, and an upper end 4 connecting the filter membrane 3.

[0019] Based on the housing 1 and the filter element structure, in order to facilitate the installation of the filter element structure from one side, the filter element structure and its installation structure have been improved as follows: The housing 1 is provided with a lower positioning member 5 and an upper positioning member 6, the lower end 2 is snapped onto the lower positioning member 5, and the upper end 4 is snapped onto the upper positioning member 6.

[0020] The lower positioning member 5 consists of a mounting part 50 and a locking part 51. The mounting part 50 is used to support and place the lower end 2, and the locking part 51 is used to lock the filter membrane 3 placed on the mounting part 50 to the lower end 2.

[0021] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The mounting part 50 consists of a mounting ring 500 fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1 and a limiting ring 501 disposed thereon. The connecting lower end 2 has a disc-shaped structure, and the outer diameter of the connecting lower end 2 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting ring 501. The bottom of the connecting lower end 2 is placed on the limiting ring 501, and its periphery is limited by the mounting ring 500.

[0022] When the filter element structure is placed into the housing 1, it is placed from top to bottom. That is, the lower end 2 slides down from the top of the housing 1 first, further ensuring that it falls stably on the top of the limiting ring 501, and that its circumference is limited by the mounting part 50. To ensure that the lower end 2 falls stably and accurately on the top of the limiting ring 501 and that its circumference is limited by the mounting ring 500, a positioning protrusion 20 is provided on the outer wall of the lower end 2, protruding from the outer wall of the lower end 2. The height of the lower end 2 is greater than the height of the mounting ring 500, and the protruding part is the thickness of the positioning protrusion 20. A slide rail 13 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the positioning protrusion 20 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 13. The positioning protrusion 20 is provided with a groove corresponding to the slide rail 13. When the lower end 2 slides down along the inner wall of the housing 1, the slide groove slides along the length of the slide rail 13 to ensure that the lower end 2 moves down accurately, while avoiding deflection of the lower end 2 during its downward movement, which would prevent the lower positioning part 5 from being properly aligned.

[0023] After the lower connector 2 is accurately placed on the mounting part 50, the lower connector 2 is then locked by the locking part 51 to prevent it from moving upward along the slide rail 13. The locking part 51 consists of a bottom ring 510 and an L-shaped limiting member 511 thereon. The structure of the bottom ring 510 and the L-shaped limiting member 511 is configured as follows: Reference Figure 5 The bottom ring 510 has a ring-shaped structure, rotates at the bottom of the mounting part 50, and fits against the bottom of the mounting part 50. At the same time, it rotates at the bottom of the mounting part 50 through irregular protrusions such as T-shapes to prevent the bottom ring 510 from detaching from the mounting part 50.

[0024] Meanwhile, the L-shaped limiting member 511 consists of a vertical end and a horizontal end, with the bottom of the vertical end fixed to the top of the bottom ring 510 and rotating with the bottom ring 510. The mounting part 50 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding opening for the rotation of the vertical end, so the vertical end of the L-shaped limiting member 511 passes through the mounting part 50. In addition, the positioning protrusion 20 is provided with a locking groove corresponding to the horizontal end of the L-shaped limiting member 511. As the bottom ring 510 rotates, the horizontal end of the L-shaped limiting member 511 is inserted into the locking groove, so the positioning protrusion 20 is limited in the vertical direction by the horizontal end of the L-shaped limiting member 511. At this time, the bottom of the connecting lower end 2 is limited by the limiting ring 501, the periphery of the connecting lower end 2 is limited by the mounting ring 500, and the top of the connecting lower end 2 is limited by the horizontal end of the L-shaped limiting member 511, so that the connecting lower end 2 is locked on the lower positioning member 5.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 and 6The upper positioning member 6 is composed of a lower connecting part 60 and a sealing ring 61, which are connected by assembly. The lower connecting part 60 and the sealing ring 61 form a C-shaped positioning structure. The shape of the lower connecting part 60 is similar to that of the mounting part 50. The bottom and periphery of the upper end 4 are limited by the lower connecting part 60. The top of the upper end 4 is limited by the sealing ring 61, thus positioning the upper end 4 within the C-shaped positioning structure of the upper positioning member 6.

[0026] To ensure the stability of the upper positioning component 6 and the upper connecting end 4, the upper positioning component 6 and the upper connecting end 4 can be locked with locking bolts. The locking bolts pass through the sealing ring 61, the upper connecting end 4, and the lower connecting part 60 in sequence. The upper positioning component 6 can also be installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 by threads or bolts. The above disassembly method facilitates the disassembly of the upper positioning component 6. In use, the upper positioning component 6 is removed first, and then the lower connecting end 2 is installed. That is, the lower connecting end 2 slides along the slide rail 13 to the mounting part 50 under the action of gravity, and then the upper positioning component 6 and the upper connecting end 4 are installed. Finally, the lower connecting end 2 is positioned by the locking part 51.

[0027] The outer diameter of the upper end 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the lower end 2 of the filter membrane 3, and the outer diameter of the lower end 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper positioning member 6, so that it can pass through the center of the lower connecting part 60 and facilitate the movement of the lower connecting part 60 between the upper end 4 and the lower end 2.

[0028] There are also other implementation methods where the outer diameter of the upper end 4 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the lower end 2. In this case, the upper positioning member 6 does not adopt the structure of the lower connecting part 60 and the sealing ring 61, but adopts the structure of the left and right half rings. When the two half rings are joined together, they are fixed by bolts. This makes it easy to position the upper positioning member 6 on the outer wall of the upper end 4, and then install the upper positioning member 6 on the inner wall of the housing 1. Finally, the lower end 2 is positioned by the locking part 51.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 Based on the structure of connecting the upper end head 4 and the upper positioning part 6, the center of the bottom ring 510 is connected to the drive shaft 7 through the connecting rib 512. The center of the connecting lower end head 2 and the connecting upper end head 4 is provided with through holes corresponding to the drive shaft 7. During installation, the drive shaft 7 passes through the connecting lower end head 2 and the connecting upper end head 4 in sequence, and the top of the drive shaft 7 is flush with the connecting upper end head 4; the bottom ring 510 is rotated by driving the drive shaft 7.

[0030] The upper connector 4 is equipped with an actuator 8, which consists of a handle disc 80 and an insert 81. The insert 81 is inserted into the top of the drive shaft 7, and the drive shaft 7 rotates with the insert 81. The insert 81 has a rod-shaped or block-shaped structure and is not cylindrical, causing the insert 81 to drive the drive shaft 7 to rotate. The handle disc 80 is fixed to the top of the upper connector 4 by multiple positioning bolts. After the horizontal end of the L-shaped limit member 511 is positioned against the lower connector 2, the positioning bolts fix the handle disc 80 and the upper connector 4, ensuring that the horizontal end of the L-shaped limit member 511 is locked against the lower connector 2.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The housing 1 consists of an end shell 10, a disassembly shell 11, and a main body shell 12. The end shell 10 or the disassembly shell 11 can be removed, and the lower end 2, the filter membrane 3, and the upper end 4 can be placed sequentially from top to bottom.

[0032] During the installation of the filter membrane 3, a snap-fit ​​method is adopted. When snapping the bottom, it is not necessary to open the bottom end shell 10. The drive shaft 7 is rotated by the actuator 8 to complete the snap-fit ​​positioning of the lower end. The above operation can be completed by opening the top end shell 10. That is, only one end shell 10 needs to be opened to realize the installation and removal of the filter membrane 3, making installation and replacement faster and more convenient.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
