BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system for manufacturing a reverse osmotic pressure filter module, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a system for manufacturing a reverse osmosis filter module, which can effectively produce a leaf element by automatically folding a reverse osmosis membrane sheet through a mesh member (or a spacer) The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system for manufacturing a reverse osmosis filter module that can improve productivity in the production process of a reverse osmosis filter module by automatically rolling and winding carriers in which the leaf elements are sequentially stacked.

Due to rapid population growth and environmental pollution, water treatment technology and various businesses using it have been attracting attention as future growth engines.

Reverse osmosis filter module is emerging as an important technology in this water treatment business. This is because the reverse osmosis filter module is an economical and eco-friendly technology compared to the distillation method for boiling water, which is an optimal water treatment material for both domestic and industrial use.

In general, the reverse osmosis filter module can be described as follows.

It is called "osmosis" phenomenon when the solution of reverse osmosis is separated into semipermeable membranes by separating the two solutions having different concentration of reverse osmosis and moves to the higher concentration side after a certain period of time. Reverse osmotic pressure "is a device that purifies water by passing only water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane using this principle. The reverse osmosis membrane is called a" reverse osmosis filter " Reverse osmosis filter module ".

Meanwhile, in order to produce the reverse osmosis filter module, a tricoater packaging, a membrane prepping, a manual rolling, an end trimming and a FRP (fiber reinforced polymer coating) It is common to carry out the process.

However, the above processes are intermittently performed, and furthermore, they are manually performed, so that they are complicated and the productivity is remarkably low. Also, there is a problem that the defective rate of the product is high due to the manual process.

Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The folding module 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a cross section of a folding module 100 of an apparatus for manufacturing a reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a state in which a section of a folding module 100 of an apparatus for fabricating a reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention operates. FIG. 3 is a top view of a folding module 100 of an apparatus for fabricating a reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The folding module 100 forms a leaf element by interposing a mesh member 1 between incoming reverse osmosis membranes and folding the reverse osmosis membrane together with the mesh member 1 automatically or semi-automatically. The folding module 100 may include a taping means 30, a cutting means 40, an adhesive application means 50, an adsorption plate 60, a hinge module 70 and a clamping module 80.

The first guide conveying means 10 guides the reverse osmosis membrane to the folding module 100. The second guide conveying means 20 guides the mesh member 1 to the folding module 100 so as to be positioned above the reverse osmosis membrane. It should be noted that the first and second guide conveying means 10 and 20 may be employed with various rollers or devices capable of moving the film or film, and are not limited to other components.

It is noted here that the reverse osmosis membrane and the mesh member 1 are basic materials for manufacturing the leaf element L which is a component of the reverse osmosis filter module and may be referred to as a spacer in the case of the mesh member 1.

The taping means 30 serves to tap the film to at least a part of the reverse osmosis membrane introduced into the folding module 100. In particular, the tapping means 30 prevents the reverse osmosis membrane from being damaged or damaged when the reverse osmosis membrane is folded by taping the film outside and / or inside the folding portion of the reverse osmosis membrane.

At this time, the taping means 30 may be freely moved in the vertical direction with respect to the direction in which the reverse osmosis membrane is introduced from the upper side of the folding module 100, in order to perform the above-described role.

In particular, it is preferable that the taping means 30 is configured to automatically supply a film or tape cut to a predetermined size before or after the reverse osmosis membrane is introduced into the folding module 100.

Note that PET may be used as the film, and materials capable of preventing breakage or damage of the reverse osmosis membrane may be used without limitation.

The cutting means 40 serves to cut (or cut) the incoming reverse osmosis membrane and the mesh member 1 to a predetermined length.

For this, the cutting means 40 is located on the upper side of the adsorption plate 60 to be described later, and the reverse osmosis membrane and the mesh member 1 are cut in accordance with the size of the leaf element to be used in the reverse osmosis filter module.

It should be noted that as the cutting means 40, various components such as a laser device, a nipping roll, and the like can be employed.

The adhesive applying unit 50 serves to apply an adhesive to at least a part of the incoming reverse osmosis membrane. Particularly, when the reverse osmosis membrane 50 is folded with the mesh member 1 interposed therebetween, the adhesive application unit 50 seals a part of the reverse osmosis membrane so that the mesh member 1 does not come out of the reverse osmosis membrane again, To effectively adhere to the reverse osmosis membrane.

At this time, the adhesive applying unit 50 may be configured to be freely movable in the vertical and horizontal directions based on the direction in which the reverse osmosis membrane is introduced from the upper side of the folding module 100, in order to perform the above-described role.

It is noted that various components may be employed, such as an apparatus in which an ink jet type apparatus is used as the adhesive application means 50 or a device capable of supplying a certain amount of adhesive. It should be noted that as the adhesive, the material thereof can be used without limitation as long as it can prevent the mesh member 1 from being separated.

The adsorption plate 60 plays a role of providing a space for allowing the incoming reverse osmosis membrane to adhere and to be positioned. Further, the adsorption plate 60 itself is folded by the hinge module 70, which will be described later, so that the reverse osmosis membrane located on the upper side thereof is folded inside the mesh member 1 via the mesh member 1. [

Particularly, the adsorption plate 60 is provided with one or more adsorption holes (not shown) for sucking the outside air so that the reverse osmosis membrane or the mesh member 1 is brought into close contact with the adsorption plate 60 61), and the suction holes 61 may be connected to a vacuum suction module (not shown).

Furthermore, it should be noted that the adsorption plate 60 may further be provided with a flat-type or pad-type vacuum device or the like so that the reverse osmosis membrane or the mesh member 1 can be positioned in the correct position.

In addition, the attracting plate 60 is separated from the first and second plate portions 60a and 60b hinged by the hinge module 70 described later, thereby effectively performing the folding operation.

It should be noted that the adsorption plate 60 can also be constructed with a double sliding plate structure so that the reverse osmosis membrane and the mesh member 1 can be effectively introduced and positioned.

The hinge module 70 is coupled to the adsorption plate 60 such that the adsorption plate 60 can be automatically (including semi-automatic) or manually folded.

Specifically, the hinge module 70 is positioned at an intermediate portion between the first and second plate portions 60a and 60b. In the state where the first plate portion 60a is maintained, the second plate portion 60b And is folded about 180 degrees so as to be positioned on the upper side of the first plate portion 60a.

As described above, due to the hinge module 70, the reverse osmosis membrane located above the adsorption plate 60 is folded with the mesh member 1 interposed therebetween to form a leaf element.

At this time, the hinge module 70 may be configured so that the second plate portion 60b can be positioned above the first plate portion 60a while the first plate portion 60a is maintained as it is. / RTI > may be employed.

The folding pusher portion 71 may be additionally connected to the hinge module 70. The folding pusher portion 71 facilitates the start of the folding operation of the hinge module 70. [

This folding pusher portion 71 not only promotes the start of the folding operation of the hinge module 70 but also causes the first and second plate portions 60a and 60b to fall outside the suction plate 60 when the first and second plate portions 60a and 60b are folded. So that a certain space is formed so that the leaf elements can be picked out from the suction plate 60. Such a component makes the folding process of the hinge module 70 more accurate.

The clamping module 80 is connected to the lower side of the adsorption plate 60 and functions to raise and lower the adsorption plate 60 when the adsorption plate 60 is folded.

The clamping module 80 serves to adjust the height (or step) of the adsorption plate 60 so that the leaf elements are discharged from the adsorption plate 60 to the feeding roll 91 described later.

The suction plate 60 is moved upward and downward by the clamping module 80. However, it is also possible to consider that the suction plate 60 moves to the left and right according to the configuration of the clamping module 80 .

The components of the clamping module 80 are well known in the art, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The feeding roll 91 and / or the vacuum adsorption table 92 serve to pick out the formed leaf element L from the adsorption plate 60.

Specifically, the feeding roll 91 is constituted by a feeding nipping roll, and serves to roll the leaf element L formed by the devices. The vacuum adsorption table 92 is provided with a feeding roll 91, Thereby restricting the leaf element L that has passed through the leaf part to a predetermined position.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a case in which a leaf element L is stacked in a welding module 200 of an apparatus for fabricating a reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a welding module 200 of an apparatus for fabricating a reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which stacking of the leaf elements L is completed.

The mesh member providing means 210 serves to additionally provide a mesh member on the upper side of the leaf element L located on the carrier C. [

This mesh member (not shown) serves as a feed spacer, and the mesh member providing means 210 allows the mesh member to be positioned between each leaf element L. [

Note that the mesh member providing means 210 is sufficient to automatically provide the mesh member to the upper side of the leaf element L, so that its constituent elements are not limited.

The welding means 220 serves to weld at least a part of the leaf element L and the mesh member together or only the mesh member onto the carrier C.

At this time, the welding means 220 is positioned on the upper side of the carrier C and is configured to be freely movable in the vertical direction with respect to the moving direction of the carrier C. Also, such a welding means 220 may be configured to weld at least one welding spot.

It should be noted that this welding means 220 may be applied not only to a structure including a welder realized in the form of a roller but also to various components such as a presser applying pressure from the upper side.

The adhesive application device 230 serves to apply an adhesive to the top of the carrier C and at least a part of the mesh member (i.e., performs a gluing process). As a result, the leaf element L is effectively bonded to the mesh member.

At this time, the adhesive applicator 230 is positioned on the upper side of the carrier C and is configured to be freely movable in the vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the moving direction of the carrier C. The adhesive applicator 230 may be configured to apply the adhesive to at least one adhesive application area.

The application of the adhesive by the adhesive application device 230 enables the leaf element L described later to be effectively bonded between the mesh members (i.e., the feed spacers).

As described above, a mesh member is provided by the mesh member providing means 210, a part of the mesh member is welded onto the carrier C by the welding means 220, and then by the adhesive applicator 230 After the adhesive is applied on a part of the mesh member, the leaf element L is inserted.

Specifically, the leaf element L located on the vacuum absorption table 92 of the folding module 100 described above is transferred to the welding module 200 by the transfer module 500. At this time, the leaf element L transported by the transport module 500 may be supplied intermittently or automatically at a predetermined period.

At this time, about 26 to about 30 leaf elements L are stacked on the carrier C through repetition of the above-described process.

Meanwhile, since various known techniques such as a robot arm type, a vacuum transfer roll feeding, and a cassette type, which are well-known structures, can be adopted as the transfer module 500, a description thereof will be omitted.

The carrier moving means 240 serves to transport the carrier C in the forward and backward directions based on the position at which the leaf element L is provided.

In particular, the carrier moving means 240 may be a conveyor belt.

With the carrier moving means 240, the carrier C can be moved in a direction opposite to the direction in which one or more leaf elements L are stacked. It is possible not only to effectively stack one or more leaf elements L on the carrier C but also to provide the mesh member provisioning, welding process, gluing process and leaf element (L) It is possible to carry out the process.

Further, according to the carrier moving means 240, when the stacking of one or more leaf elements L is completed, the carrier C on which the stacking of the leaf elements L is completed can be moved to the rolling module 300 described later . Therefore, the carrier C on which the lamination of the leaf elements L is completed can be effectively transferred to a rolling and winding process, which will be described later, without requiring a separate transport module.

The rolling module 300 and the winding module 400 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing a cross section of a rolling module 300 and a winding module 400 of an apparatus for manufacturing reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 9 and 10 are views schematically showing a cross section of the apparatus for manufacturing a reverse osmosis filter module according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the carrier transporting unit 240 is separated into first and second driving units.

The RFP (fiber reinforced polymer) coating module 700 functions to coat the outer surface of the carrier C, which is tape-wound by the winding module 400, with a polymer.

At this time, RFP acts as a fiber reinforced polymer to strengthen the surface of the reverse osmosis filter module. On the other hand, it is noted that epoxy may be used as the polymer.

Here, the RFP coating module 700 may include a coating type of coating the outer surface of the carrier C automatically in a spray type or any other coating type.

In this case, two folding modules 100 and one welding module 200 can be positioned on one plane. In this case, since there are two or more transfer modules 500 for transferring the leaf element L from each folding module 100 to the welding module 200, it is possible to manufacture the reverse osmosis filter module more effectively.

When the folding modules 100 are formed of two pieces, the upper portion of the welding module 200 may have a height difference. In this case, the welding modules 200 are located on one single layer, and the two folding modules 100 can be positioned on the two-story and the three-story, respectively.
