Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the utility model provides a hollow fiber membrane bubble point pressure testing apparatus, which includes: an imaging unit 3, a recognition unit 4, and a statistic unit 51; the shooting unit 3 is used for shooting the hollow fiber membrane module 7 which is contained in the test solution 6 and connected with the gas supply unit 2 and the adjacent area of the hollow fiber membrane module 7; the identification unit 4 is in communication connection with the shooting unit 3 and the statistic unit 51 respectively, and the identification unit 4 is used for identifying whether bubbles are contained in the image shot by the shooting unit 3; the identification unit 4 sends out a trigger signal when identifying that the image contains bubbles; the statistical unit 51 obtains gas pressure data provided by the gas supply unit 2 to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 when receiving the trigger signal. In an example, the hollow fiber membrane bubble point pressure testing device further comprises a test slot 1, wherein the test slot 1 is used for accommodating a test solution 6 and a hollow fiber membrane assembly 7 to be tested.
With this arrangement, the imaging unit 3 images the hollow fiber membrane module 7 and the adjacent region thereof, and when the hollow fiber membrane module 7 emits a bubble, the recognition unit 4 recognizes that the image contains a bubble and sends a trigger signal, and the statistical unit 51 can acquire the trigger signal and the gas pressure data in synchronization with each other, thereby accurately measuring the bubble point pressure of the hollow fiber membrane module 7. The test process is easy to operate, the measurement sensitivity is high, the test speed is high, the test result is accurate, and the automation degree is high. The principle of the recognition unit 4 recognizing whether the image contains the bubble may include, for example: the steps of modeling, contour recognition, bubble determination, etc. can be understood according to the image processing and recognition principle in the prior art, and this embodiment will not be described again.
Optionally, the side wall of the test slot 1 has a transparent area, and the shooting unit 3 is disposed outside the test slot 1 and shoots the hollow fiber membrane module 7 through the transparent area. In some embodiments, the test slot 1 may be made entirely of a transparent material, e.g., the test slot 1 is a glass slot. The shooting unit 3 is arranged outside the test slot 1, so that the shooting unit 3 can be prevented from being immersed by the test solution 6, and the structure of the shooting unit 3 is simplified. In an exemplary embodiment, the statistical unit 51 may include a statistical control circuit board having a statistical control chip thereon or a statistical control program stored thereon. The photographing unit 3 may be a camera or a video camera as commonly used in the art.
Further, the side wall of the test slot 1 is provided with more than two transparent areas which are circumferentially arranged, the hollow fiber membrane bubble point pressure testing device comprises more than two shooting units 3, and each shooting unit 3 is aligned with one transparent area. With this arrangement, the hollow fiber membrane module 7 can be imaged in all directions in the circumferential direction, thereby further improving the accuracy of bubble point pressure measurement.
In an exemplary embodiment, the gas supply unit 2 includes a nitrogen cylinder with a certain pressure, and the testing solution 6 may be isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, for example, and those skilled in the art can select a suitable gas supply unit 2 and testing solution 6 according to the actual application.
Optionally, the hollow fiber membrane bubble point pressure testing device further includes: a flow rate adjusting unit 8; the flow rate adjusting unit 8 is disposed between the gas supply unit 2 and the hollow fiber membrane module 7, and is configured to adjust a gas pressure supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module 7. In an alternative example, the flow regulating unit 8 may for example comprise an electromagnetic flow valve, such as a proportional-integral valve.
Optionally, the hollow fiber membrane bubble point pressure testing apparatus further includes: further comprises a pressure detection unit 9; the pressure detection unit 9 is in communication connection with the statistic unit 51; the pressure detection unit 9 is configured to detect the gas pressure provided by the gas supply unit 2 to the hollow fiber membrane module 7, and send real-time gas pressure data to the statistics unit 51. In an alternative example, the pressure detecting unit 9 may include an electronic pressure gauge, for example, which is provided on the pipe between the flow rate adjusting unit 8 and the hollow fiber membrane module 7.
Further, the hollow fiber membrane bubble point pressure test device further comprises a logic unit 52; the logic unit 52 is in communication connection with the identification unit 4 and the flow regulating unit 8, respectively; the logic unit 52 is configured to drive the flow rate adjusting unit 8 at a predetermined change rate to gradually increase the pressure of the gas supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 before receiving the trigger signal. The logic unit 52 may include a logic control circuit board having a logic control chip or a logic control program stored thereon, for example, and the logic unit 52 may be connected to the control end of the flow rate adjusting unit 8 through a wire, and sends a control signal to the control end of the flow rate adjusting unit 8, so as to drive the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting unit 8 to adjust, and thus adjust the gas pressure supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module 7. The predetermined rate of change may be a linear rate of change or a curvilinear rate of change, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited thereto. In one example, the predetermined rate of change is selected between 1KPa/10s and 50KPa/10 s. For example, the predetermined change rate is selected to be 10KPa/10s and is kept constant, that is, the pressure of the gas supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 is linearly changed. In other embodiments, the predetermined rate of change may be configured to increase the gas pressure quickly first and then slowly, i.e., initially, to save testing time; and then the speed is gradually reduced and increased to ensure the testing precision during final bubble generation. In one example, the logic unit 52 and the statistic unit 51 may be integrated in a controller.
Optionally, the logic unit 52 is further configured to drive the flow rate adjusting unit 8 to stop increasing the gas pressure provided to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 and send an alarm message after driving the flow rate adjusting unit 8 to gradually increase the gas pressure provided to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 to a predetermined maximum pressure. The warning information can be a sound-light alarm signal and the like. The predetermined maximum pressure may be selected according to various specifications of the hollow fiber membrane module 7, and may be set to 1MPa, for example. With such a configuration, after the gas pressure rises to the predetermined maximum pressure, if no bubble is emitted from the hollow fiber membrane module 7, the pressure is stopped from being continuously increased, and a warning message is sent to prompt an operator to perform an inspection. In some special cases, sudden impact of the continuously increased gas pressure breaking through the hollow fiber membrane module 7 can be avoided.
Optionally, the logic unit 52 is configured to drive the flow rate adjusting unit 8 to gradually decrease the pressure of the gas supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 after receiving the trigger signal. After receiving the trigger signal, it indicates that the statistic unit 51 has completed the test statistics on the bubble point pressure at this time, the pressure of the hollow fiber membrane assembly 7 may be gradually removed, so as to remove the hollow fiber membrane assembly 7 from the test slot 1, and then another hollow fiber membrane assembly 7 to be tested may be installed in the test slot 1. Alternatively, the logic unit 52 may drive the flow rate adjustment unit 8 to decrease the pressure of the gas supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module 7 to 0 (i.e., one atmosphere).
