This utility model discloses a device for adjusting the local hardness of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sheets, including a support platform, a heating plate, a support structure, and a power module. The heating plate is disposed on the upper side of the support platform. The device further includes: a compression array plate, which is fixed above the heating plate by the support structure and has multiple independent pressure heads on its lower side. The pressure heads are arranged in a matrix, and each pressure head can extend and retract independently in the vertical direction and is equipped with an independent pressure adjustment mechanism; and an intelligent control module, which is powered by the power module and configured to drive the pressure heads to work through the pressure adjustment mechanism according to set pressure parameters. The device for adjusting the local hardness of ePTFE sheets provided by this utility model can locally, reversibly, and dynamically adjust the hardness of ePTFE sheets through a dual mechanism of mechanical compression and thermal energy regulation.

This invention relates to a membrane-based heat exchanger (MemHEX) tailored for tropical climates to address challenges in indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. The device features a thermally insulated hexagonal housing that optimizes airflow, minimizing turbulence and pressure drop. At its core, a quasicounterflow arrangement of hexagonal plates is integrated with a sandwich-like assembly of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes and spacers. This design facilitates the efficient transfer of both sensible and latent heat while maintaining separate pathways for exhaust and supply air. The MemHEX includes supply and exhaust fans strategically positioned to ensure uniform airflow across the heat exchanger core. Environmental sensors automate fan operation, regulating ventilation based on real-time conditions such as temperature, humidity, or air quality. The system also includes high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for pollutant-free operation. Scalable and efficient, the MemHEX is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

This invention discloses a flexible, bendable composite pipe with spring support for ePTFE membrane winding, its preparation method, and its applications. The composite pipe includes a spring support body; multiple layers of ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane wound around the outer surface of the spring support body; the multiple ePTFE membranes are crystalline-linked by a hot-melt sintering process to form fluorocarbon bonds, thus combining the multiple ePTFE membranes with the spring support body to form a composite pipe wall structure. This structure solves the problems of collapse and loosening caused by the softness and deformation of single-layer ePTFE membranes, endowing the pipe with good tensile strength, flexible bending characteristics, and air permeability / filtration functions due to the microporous structure of ePTFE. The pipe is resistant to chemical corrosion and has a wide temperature adaptability range, making it suitable for industrial fluid transport and filtration systems requiring flexible conveying, pressure balance, or the infiltration / emission of specific gases. The preparation method mainly includes winding and hot-melt sintering processes within a specific temperature range.

The application provides a composite proton exchange membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. The composite proton exchange membrane comprises an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fiber membrane and perfluorosulfonic acid resin particles distributed among the pores of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fiber membrane. The perfluorosulfonic acid resin particles are directly compounded with polytetrafluoroethylene to form a composite reinforced structure, and the perfluorosulfonic acid resin particles are uniformly dispersed inside the pores of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fiber membrane, which can effectively improve the filling performance of ePTFE and perfluorosulfonic acid resin particles, thereby improving the anti-swelling performance of the composite proton exchange membrane, reducing the dissolution of perfluorosulfonic acid resin, and also effectively reducing the amount of perfluorosulfonic acid resin and improving the service life and durability of the composite proton exchange membrane.

This invention discloses a processing equipment for expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) gaskets, comprising a support frame, a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the support frame, a pressing cylinder fixed to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, a support column intermittently rotatably connected to the upper end of the support frame and cooperating with the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, a circular plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, the upper end of the circular plate having multiple forming grooves arranged in a ring array and cooperating with the pressing cylinder, a circular ring with an arc-shaped concave surface at the lower end of the circular plate, and an ejection mechanism for ejecting the formed gasket within the forming grooves. This invention allows for continuous pressing of PTFE rings, avoiding the drawbacks of existing technologies that require manual filling and have low work continuity, thus reducing the workload of workers. Furthermore, it allows for the stacking of PTFE rings without manual intervention.
