Reinforced Ion Exchange Resin Bag for Wrinkle-Free Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ion exchange resin bags used in ion exchange devices are difficult to replace due to deformation and wrinkling, leading to uneven ion exchange and reduced resin life, as they do not maintain shape during insertion and removal, causing gaps and uneven deterioration within the device.
Innovation Solution
An ion exchange resin bag with a resin mesh body and a reinforcing structure, featuring a first and second reinforcing portion, which maintains the bag's shape and allows easy insertion and removal, preventing wrinkles and ensuring uniform contact with the device's inner wall, thereby improving resin life and ion exchange efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the ion exchange resin bag is made flexible for easy insertion and removal, then the ease of operation is improved, but the bag deforms and wrinkles when inserted into the resin tubular main body, causing uneven ion exchange
Solution Approach 1:
The bag body is made from a flexible resin mesh material that allows easy insertion and removal while maintaining structural integrity. The mesh structure provides flexibility for operation while the reinforcing body prevents deformation
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines a resin mesh bag body with a reinforcing body made of different material properties. The composite structure integrates the flexibility of the resin mesh with the shape-stabilizing properties of the reinforcing body, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and shape stability
2Ease of operation
If the bag material is chosen for smooth insertion and removal, then the ease of operation is improved, but the bag may still wrinkle or deform without proper shape maintenance structure
Solution Approach 1:
The resin mesh bag body provides flexibility for easy insertion and removal while the mesh structure allows fluid permeability. The flexible nature enables smooth operation without compromising the reliability of ion exchange when properly supported
Solution Approach 2:
The composite structure of resin mesh bag body plus reinforcing body ensures both ease of operation and reliable uniform ion exchange. The reinforcing body prevents wrinkles that would cause uneven fluid distribution, while the resin mesh maintains permeability for ion exchange functionality
3Reliability
If the ion exchange resin bag is replaced frequently to ensure uniform ion exchange, then the ion exchange quality is improved, but the productivity and resin life are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible resin mesh bag body allows for easy insertion and removal, enabling quick replacement without complex procedures. This reduces the time and effort required for replacement, improving productivity while maintaining the ability to ensure uniform ion exchange when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The composite structure with reinforcing body prevents deformation and wrinkles that cause uneven ion exchange, allowing the resin to last its full functional life. This reduces unnecessary replacements, improving productivity and resin life while maintaining ion exchange quality
4Reliability
If the entire ion exchange resin is replaced when any part degrades, then the ion exchange quality is maintained, but the loss of substance and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible resin mesh bag body allows for easy removal and replacement of only the bag containing the degraded resin, rather than replacing the entire resin system. This reduces material waste while maintaining ion exchange quality in the remaining functional resin
Solution Approach 2:
The composite structure of bag body and reinforcing body allows the bag to be replaced as a unit while preserving the resin tubular main body and any undegraded resin. This selective replacement reduces resin material waste while ensuring ion exchange quality is maintained in the retained resin

AI summary
An ion exchange resin bag 5 includes a bag body 51 and a reinforcing body 52. The bag body 51 has a bottom surface portion 511 that is provided at an end portion opposite to an end portion where an opening is provided and forms a bottom surface of the bag body, and a side surface portion 512 that is connected to the bottom surface portion 511 and forms a side surface of the bag body 51. The reinforcing body 52 has a first reinforcing portion 521 that is fixed to a boundary portion of the bottom surface portion 511 and the side surface portion 512, and a second reinforcing portion 522 that is connected to the first reinforcing portion 521 and fixed to at least a part of the side surface portion 512 and extends from the first reinforcing portion 521 toward the opening.
