Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a hollow fiber membrane module that enables automatic manufacture of a hollow fiber membrane module in which a hollow fiber membrane bundle is folded in a U shape and stored in a cylindrical case.
- a water purifier attached to a faucet or the like of a water supply uses a hollow fiber membrane module in which a hollow fiber membrane is bent in a U shape and stored in a cylindrical case.
- the filling rate of the hollow fiber bundle of the module can be increased, and as a result, it is configured to achieve a small size and high filtration performance.
- the hollow fiber bundle filling rate represents the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the hollow fiber bundle to the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical case.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a method and an apparatus for automating the process of bending the hollow fiber membrane bundle described above into a U-shape and incorporating it into a cylindrical case. These documents disclose a configuration in which the work is completed by pushing into the cylindrical case as it is deformed into a U-shape by pushing near the center of the hollow fiber membrane bundle aligned in one direction.
- any of the methods described in any of the documents has a problem that the pushing force acts on the bent portion of the hollow fiber membrane bundle. That is, when the hollow fiber bundle is bent into a U shape, a pressing force that resists the frictional force between the hollow fibers is required. When assembling, it is necessary to stake and push the frictional force generated between the hollow fiber membrane bundle and the inner wall of the cylindrical case. Such force is applied to the hollow fiber membrane bundle by the pushing member. Therefore, the pushing force acts on the bent portion of the hollow fiber membrane bundle. For this reason, there is a risk of damaging the hollow fiber membrane at the bent portion, causing defects such as thread breakage and thread crushing.
- Patent Document 2 discloses that the use of a slippery sheet can be expected to reduce the frictional force when the hollow fiber membrane bundle is assembled in the cylindrical case. However, the hollow fiber bundle filling rate is disclosed. If it is high, it may not be effective enough!
- Patent Document 3 discloses a method for housing a hollow fiber membrane bundle in a cylindrical case by vacuum suction as a method for housing a hollow fiber membrane bundle by the same inventors as Patent Document 1. In this method, not only the pushing force but also the bow I penetration force by suction is applied to the hollow fiber membrane bundle, but this method causes partial dropout of the hollow fiber by the same inventors in Patent Document 1. It has been clarified that there is a problem that the storage form becomes uneven.

It is also preferable to provide means for cueing a part of the sliding sheet 4. Further, at the time of work, from the viewpoint of suppressing damage to the hollow fiber membrane bundle 1, it is also preferable to dispose a funnel-shaped guide guide 7 in the opening portion on the side of the yarn bundle U-shaped means 3 of the cylindrical case 2. It is possible to prevent a part of the hollow fiber membrane bundle 1 from pulling the end of the opening of the cylindrical case 2 and damaging the hollow fiber membrane.

Also, from the same viewpoint, the speed at which the yarn bundle drawing means 5 draws the slippery sheet should be equal to or higher than the moving speed of the flat plate 3b (that is, higher than the moving speed of the flat plate 3b in the pulling direction of the slippery sheet). Is also preferable. If the push-in member is not composed of the two flat plates 3a and 3b but is composed of a single plate-like member, the pull-in operation of the sheet gripping mechanism 5a must be started before the movement of the plate-like member.

It is preferable to reduce the pressure acting on the surface. Therefore, it is preferable to secure a certain pushing area of the pushing member.
- the hollow fiber membrane bundle is stored in the case, when the pushing member enters the cylindrical case 2, the volume occupied by the hollow fiber membrane bundle 1 in the cylindrical case 2 is reduced by the volume of the pushing member. For this reason, the hollow fiber membrane bundle 1 is pushed to the inner wall of the cylindrical case, and damage such as deformation and thread crushing is likely to occur.
- the slippery sheet 4 can be expected to have a slippery effect. S For products with a high filling rate, the risk of damage is particularly high. Yes.
- the thickness of the pushing member is thicker. In order to satisfy the latter requirement, it is preferable that the thickness is thinner. Therefore, the push-in member of the yarn bundle U-shaped means 3 is composed of two flat plates 3a and 3b, and when they are bent into a U shape, the two members act simultaneously to ensure a contact area with the hollow fiber membrane bundle 1. However, when the hollow fiber membrane bundle is accommodated in the cylindrical case, it is preferable that only one sheet acts.

- the cylindrical case 2 is supplied from the case supply conveyor almost simultaneously with the supply of the hollow fiber membrane bundle 1. It was configured to be set below.
- the flat plates 3a and 3b of the yarn bundle U-shaped means 3 were coated with a fluororesin coating in consideration of the detachability from the hollow fiber membrane, and both thicknesses were 2 mm.
- a uniaxial actuator manufactured by Nippon Bearing Co., Ltd. was used for the vertical movement of the flat plates 3a and 3b. Set to operate at a low speed (100mm / sec) to prevent damage when the flat plate operates while contacting the yarn bundle, and at a high speed (500mm / sec) to reduce the processing tact in other cases did.
- the sheet gripping mechanism 5a is configured such that a slip for gripping the slippery sheet 4 is mounted on an air chuck manufactured by SMC Co., Ltd., and the moving mechanism 5b is A 1-axis actuator manufactured by Ning Co., Ltd. was used. Pulling the slippery sheet 4 into the cylindrical case 2 During operation, it was set to operate at a low speed to prevent damage to the hollow fiber, and at other times it was set to operate at a high speed to shorten the processing tart. . In other words, it was set to operate at a speed of 100 mm / second during sheet pull-in operation, and at a speed of 500 mm / second during other operations. Furthermore, the flat plate 3b was set to start moving 0.1 second after the start of the sheet drawing operation of the yarn bundle drawing means 5.
