Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、浸漬型膜カートリッジの製造方法に関し、し尿処理や合併処理浄化槽等において使用する固液分離装置に搭載する膜カートリッジの製造技術に係るものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の固液分離装置としては、例えば図7に示すような浸漬型膜分離装置がある。図7において、膜分離装置21は、複数枚の平板状膜カートリッジ22と、その下方より膜面洗浄気体を噴出する散気装置23とをケース24の内部に配置したものである。ケース24は膜ケース25と散気ケース26とに分割形成し、散気装置23より噴出する膜面洗浄気体の全量が膜ケース25内に入り込むように形成している。
【0003】
図8に示すように、膜カートリッジ22は、ABS樹脂製のろ板22Aの両表面にろ過膜22Bを配置し、ろ過膜22Bをその周縁部の止水部Sにおいてろ板22Aに超音波溶着したものである。ろ板22Aとろ過膜22Bとの間、およびろ板22Aの内部には透過液流路を形成し、透過液流路に連通する透過液取出口22Cをろ板22Aの上端縁に形成している。
【0004】
各膜カートリッジ22は、透過液取出口22Cに接続したチューブ27を介して集水管28に連通しており、膜透過液を導出する透過液導出管29を集水管28に接続している。
膜分離装置21を活性汚泥処理施設において使用する場合には、曝気槽内部の活性汚泥混合液中に膜分離装置21を浸漬し、散気装置23より曝気空気を噴出させる状態において、原水中の有機物や窒素を活性汚泥により処理している。
【0005】
活性汚泥混合液は、槽内での水頭を駆動圧として膜カートリッジ22により重力ろ過し(透過液導出管29に吸引ポンプを介装することで吸引ろ過も可能である)、膜カートリッジ22の膜面を透過した透過液を処理水として透過液導出管29を通じて槽外へ導出する。
このとき、散気装置23より噴出する曝気空気の気泡およびそれにより生起される上昇流が、相互に隣接する膜カートリッジ22の間の狭い流路(5〜10mmの幅)を流れることによって、膜カートリッジ22の膜面を洗浄し、分離機能の低下を抑制して膜分離装置21が機能不全に至ることを防止している。
【0006】
このように、膜分離装置21の使用時において、膜カートリッジ22は曝気空気による上昇流に曝されるので、止水部Sに囲まれた領域およびろ過膜22Bの周縁部が振動し、疲労によって止水部Sでろ過膜22Bが破断する恐れがある。このために、図9に示すように、ろ過膜22Bの周縁部に沿って断続的に形成する補助溶着部Bにおいて、ろ過膜22Bをろ板22Aに補助的に固定するものがある。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
超音波溶着法の一例としては、ロータリ溶着法がある。これは図10に示すように、ろ板22Aの表面を覆ってろ過膜22Bを配置し、ロータリホーン31によってろ過膜22Bをろ板22Aに押圧しながらロータリホーン31を回転させ、ロータリホーン31から出力する超音波によってろ過膜22Bおよびろ板22Aを溶着して止水部Sおよび補助溶着部Bを形成するものである。
【0008】
しかし、ロータリ溶着法では、図11に示すように、止水部Sにおいてろ板22Aが溶けて溝状に窪み、ろ過膜22Bがろ板22Aに食い込む状態に溶着されるために、溶着時にろ過膜22Bが痛み、疲労破壊が起こり易くなる。
超音波溶着法の他の例としてはアップダウン法がある。これは図12〜図13に示すように、予めろ板22Aの表面に、止水部Sを形成するためのシール部32および補助部33を表面から突出して形成しておき、シール部32および補助部33を覆ってろ過膜22Bを配置し、アップダウンホーン34をろ過膜22Bの上からシール部32および補助部33に押圧するものであり、アップダウンホーン34から出力する超音波により、ろ過膜22Bをシール部32および補助部33においてろ板22Aに溶着して止水部Sおよび補助溶着部Bを形成するものである。
【0009】
溶着前の原寸法において、シール部32は高さが0.5mmであり、補助部33は高さが0.15mmである。ここで、シール部32を補助部33より高く形成しているのは、シール部32において強く溶着して止水部Sにおける止水性を高めるためである。しかし、反面において、ろ過膜22Bの強度が止水部Sで低下し、補助溶着部Bより早くろ過膜22Bが疲労して破損し易くなる。
【0010】
本発明は上記した課題を解決するものであり、曝気に対する耐久性を高めることができる浸漬型膜カートリッジの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、請求項1に係る本発明の浸漬型膜カートリッジの製造方法は、樹脂製のろ板に、二重線状のシール部と帯状の補助部とをろ板の表面から突出して、かつろ板の周縁部に沿った全周にわたって一体に成形し、内側に位置するシール部を外側に位置するシール部より低く形成し、外側に位置するシール部と周縁に位置する補助部とを同じ高さに形成し、ろ板の表面に双方のシール部および補助部を覆ってろ過膜を配置し、ろ過膜の上からアップダウンホーンを双方のシール部および補助部に押圧し、アップダウンホーンから超音波を出力してろ過膜を双方のシール部および補助部において溶着し、双方のシール部に直線状の止水部を形成してろ過膜を緊張状態に保持するとともに、補助部に補助溶着部を形成するものである。
【0012】
上記した構成により、外側シール部が内側シール部よりも高く突出しているので、溶着初期時において、ろ過膜はアップダウンホーンと外側シール部および補助部とに挟持されて内側シール部と接触せず、内側シール部に先立って外側シール部および補助部においてろ過膜とろ板の溶着が始まり、続いて内側シール部においてろ過膜とろ板の溶着が行なわれる。
【0013】
このため、外側シール部に形成する止水部での溶着強度よりも、内側シール部に形成する止水部での溶着強度が弱くなるので、膜カートリッジの使用時における振動疲労に対して、ろ過膜は内側の止水部において破断する前に内側シール部から剥離することで、膜としての機能を保全する。このとき、外側の止水部において止水能を確保するので、膜カートリッジはそのろ過機能を維持することができ、点検時等に剥離した止水部を補修することで、膜カートリッジの延命化が図れる。
【0014】
しかも、外側シール部における溶着が先行することで、ろ過膜が展張した状態で内側シール部に当接し、溶着後に内側の止水部に囲まれたろ過膜の有効ろ過領域が緊張状態に保持されるので、皺や弛みが発生しない。
請求項2に係る本発明の浸漬型膜カートリッジの製造方法は、樹脂製のろ板に、二重線状のシール部と帯状の補助部とをろ板の表面から突出して、かつろ板の周縁部に沿った全周にわたって一体に成形し、ろ板の表裏面に双方のシール部および補助部を覆ってろ過膜を配置し、ろ板およびろ過膜を溶着治具上に配置して裏側面における内側シール部をろ過膜を介して溶着治具に当接させ、表側面のろ過膜の上からアップダウンホーンを外側シール部および補助部に押圧し、アップダウンホーンから超音波を出力して表側面のろ過膜を外側シール部および補助部において溶着するとともに、裏側面のろ過膜を内側シール部において溶着し、ろ板を反転させて溶着治具上に配置し、表側面における内側シール部をろ過膜を介して溶着治具に当接させ、裏側面のろ過膜の上からアップダウンホーンを外側シール部および補助部に押圧し、アップダウンホーンから超音波を出力して裏側面のろ過膜を外側シール部および補助部において溶着するとともに、表側面のろ過膜を内側シール部において溶着し、双方のシール部に直線状の止水部を形成してろ過膜を緊張状態に保持するとともに、補助部に補助溶着部を形成するものである。
【0015】
上記した構成により、アップダウンホーンから出力する超音波は、ろ過膜を介して外側シール部および補助部に強く作用し、さらにろ板を介して溶着治具に当接する内側シール部に弱く作用する。このため、外側シール部に形成する止水部での溶着強度よりも、内側シール部に形成する止水部での溶着強度が弱くなるので、膜カートリッジの使用時における振動疲労に対して、ろ過膜は内側の止水部において破断する前に内側シール部から剥離することで、膜としての機能を保全する。このとき、外側の止水部において止水能を確保するので、膜カートリッジはそのろ過機能を維持することができ、点検時等に剥離した止水部を補修することで、膜カートリッジの延命化が図れる。
【0016】
請求項3に係る本発明の浸漬型膜カートリッジの製造方法は、アップダウンホーンのろ過膜に対する当接面にローレットを形成し、外側シール部に形成する外側の止水部および補助部に形成する補助溶着部をローレット状に形成するものである。
この構成により、アップダウンホーンから出力する超音波は、ローレットの峰部において強く作用し、ろ過膜を外側シール部および補助部において強く溶着する。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。本実施の形態における浸漬型膜カートリッジは浸漬型膜分離装置に使用するものであり、浸漬型膜分離装置の基本的な構造は、先に図7において説明したものと同様であるので、同様の部材には同一番号を付して説明を省略する。
【0018】
以下に、本実施の形態における膜カートリッジ22の製造方法を図1〜図3を参照して説明する。ろ板41はABS樹脂からなり、例えば横490mm×縦1000mm×厚さ6mmの形状を有しており、表裏面に二重線状のシール部42a、42bと帯状の補助部43とをろ板41の表面から突出して、かつろ板41の周縁部に沿った全周にわたって一体に成形している。補助部43はろ過膜44の周縁に対応する位置にあり、補助部43および外側シール部42bは0.5mmの同じ高さに形成し、内側シール部42aは外側シール部42bよりも低い0.4mmの形状を有している。
【0019】
このろ板41を溶着治具45の上に配置し、ろ板41の表面に双方のシール部42a、42bおよび補助部43を覆ってろ過膜44を配置する。ろ過膜44は所定強度を有する不織布製の基材の両面に有機性の膜剤を含浸させて製造したものである。
この状態で、ろ過膜44の上からアップダウンホーン46を双方のシール部42a、42bおよび補助部43に押圧する。アップダウンホーン46は超音波を出力するもので、ろ過膜44に相対する当接面を平坦に形成している。
【0020】
アップダウンホーン46から超音波を出力してろ過膜44を双方のシール部42a、42bおよび補助部43において溶着する。このとき、外側シール部42bおよび補助部43が内側シール部42aよりも高く突出しているので、内側シール部42aに先立って外側シール部42bおよび補助部43においてろ過膜44とろ板41の溶着が始まり、続いて内側シール部42aにおいてろ過膜44とろ板41の溶着が行なわれる。
【0021】
このように溶着操作において、外側シール部42bおよび補助部43における溶着が先行することで、ろ過膜44が展張した状態で内側シール部42aに当接し、双方のシール部42a、42bに直線状の止水部S1、S2が形成されるとともに、溶着後に内側の止水部S1に囲まれたろ過膜44の有効ろ過領域が緊張状態に保持され、補助部43に補助溶着部Bが形成される。
【0022】
また、内側シール部42aが外側シール部42bよりも低い形状を有することで、外側シール部42bに形成する止水部S2での溶着強度よりも内側シール部42aに形成する止水部S1での溶着強度が弱くなる。
このため、膜カートリッジ22を浸漬型膜分離装置において使用する際に発生する曝気に起因する振動疲労に対して、ろ過膜44は内側の止水部S1において破断する前に内側シール部42aから剥離して膜としての機能を保全する。このとき、外側シール部42bが止水能を発揮し、ろ過膜44が内側シール部42aから剥離しても、膜カートリッジ22はそのろ過機能を維持することができ、点検時等に剥離した止水部S1を補修することで、膜カートリッジ22の延命化が図れる。
【0023】
本実施の形態における膜カートリッジ22の他の製造方法を図4〜図6を参照して説明する。ろ板51はABS樹脂からなり、表裏面に二重線状のシール部52a、52bと帯状の補助部53とをろ板51の表面から突出して、かつろ板51の周縁部に沿った全周にわたって一体に成形している。シール部52a、52bおよび補助部53は同じ高さに形成している。
【0024】
ろ板51の表裏面に双方のシール部52a、52bおよび補助部53を覆ってろ過膜54を配置する。ろ過膜54は所定強度を有する不織布製の基材の両面に有機性の膜剤を含浸させて製造したものである。
ろ板51およびろ過膜54を溶着治具55に配置して、裏側面における内側シール部52aをろ過膜54を介して溶着治具55に当接させる。この状態で、表側面のろ過膜54の上からアップダウンホーン56を外側シール部52bおよび補助部53に押圧する。図5に示すように、アップダウンホーン56はろ過膜54に対する当接面にローレット56aを形成している。
【0025】
アップダウンホーン56から超音波を出力して表側面のろ過膜54を外側シール部52bおよび補助部53において溶着するとともに、裏側面のろ過膜54を内側シール部52aにおいて溶着する。さらに、ろ板51を反転させて溶着治具55に配置し、同様の溶着操作を行なって、裏側面のろ過膜54を外側シール部52bおよび補助部53において溶着するとともに、表側面のろ過膜54を内側シール部52aにおいて溶着する。
【0026】
溶着により、内側シール部52aに直線状の止水部S1を形成してろ過膜を緊張状態に保持するとともに、外側シール部52bに止水部S2を形成し、補助部53に補助溶着部Bを形成する。外側の止水部S2および補助溶着部Bはローレット状となる。
上述の溶着操作において、アップダウンホーン56から出力する超音波は、ローレット56aの峰部において強くなり、ろ過膜54を介して外側シール部52bおよび補助部53に強く作用し、ろ過膜54を外側シール部52bおよび補助部53において強く溶着する。一方で、超音波はろ板51を介して溶着治具55に当接する内側シール部52aに弱く作用するので、外側シール部52bに形成する止水部S2での溶着強度よりも、内側シール部52aに形成する止水部S1での溶着強度が弱くなる。
【0027】
このため、膜カートリッジ22の使用時における振動疲労に対して、ろ過膜54は内側の止水部S1において破断する前に内側シール部52aから剥離することで、膜としての機能を保全する。このとき、外側の止水部S2において止水能を確保するので、膜カートリッジ22はそのろ過機能を維持することができ、点検時等に剥離した止水部S1を補修することで、膜カートリッジ22の延命化が図れる。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、外側シール部に形成する止水部での溶着強度よりも内側シール部に形成する止水部での溶着強度を弱くすることにより、振動疲労に対してろ過膜は破断する前に内側シール部から剥離し、膜としての機能を保全することができ、外側シール部が止水能を発揮することで膜カートリッジはそのろ過機能を維持することができ、膜カートリッジの延命化を図れる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a submerged membrane cartridge, and relates to a technique for producing a membrane cartridge mounted on a solid-liquid separation device used in a human waste treatment or a combined treatment septic tank.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional solid-liquid separator, for example, there is an immersion type membrane separator as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, a membrane separation device 21 has a plurality of flat membrane cartridges 22 and an air diffuser 23 that ejects a membrane cleaning gas from below the cartridges 22 arranged inside a case 24. The case 24 is formed so as to be divided into a membrane case 25 and an air diffuser case 26 so that the entire amount of the membrane surface cleaning gas ejected from the air diffuser 23 enters the membrane case 25.
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 8, in the membrane cartridge 22, a filtration membrane 22B is disposed on both surfaces of a filter plate 22A made of ABS resin, and the filtration membrane 22B is ultrasonically welded to the filter plate 22A at a water stop portion S on the peripheral edge thereof. It was done. A permeate flow path is formed between the filter plate 22A and the filtration membrane 22B, and inside the filter plate 22A, and a permeate outlet 22C communicating with the permeate flow path is formed at the upper edge of the filter plate 22A. I have.
[0004]
Each membrane cartridge 22 communicates with a water collecting pipe 28 via a tube 27 connected to a permeated liquid outlet 22C, and connects a permeated liquid outlet pipe 29 for extracting a membrane permeated liquid to the water collecting pipe 28.
When the membrane separation device 21 is used in an activated sludge treatment facility, the membrane separation device 21 is immersed in the activated sludge mixed liquid inside the aeration tank, and the aeration air is spouted from the aeration device 23. Organic matter and nitrogen are treated with activated sludge.
[0005]
The activated sludge mixture is gravity-filtered by the membrane cartridge 22 using the head in the tank as a driving pressure (suction filtration is also possible by interposing a suction pump in the permeate outlet pipe 29). The permeate that has passed through the surface is led out of the tank through a permeate outlet pipe 29 as treated water.
At this time, the bubbles of the aerated air ejected from the air diffuser 23 and the upward flow generated by the bubbles flow through the narrow flow path (width of 5 to 10 mm) between the mutually adjacent membrane cartridges 22 to form a membrane. The membrane surface of the cartridge 22 is cleaned to prevent the separation function from deteriorating, thereby preventing the membrane separation device 21 from malfunctioning.
[0006]
As described above, when the membrane separation device 21 is used, the membrane cartridge 22 is exposed to the ascending flow of the aerated air, so that the region surrounded by the water stopping portion S and the peripheral edge of the filtration membrane 22B vibrate, and the fatigue occurs due to fatigue. There is a possibility that the filtration membrane 22B is broken at the water stop portion S. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 9, there is an auxiliary welding portion B formed intermittently along the peripheral portion of the filtration membrane 22B, in which the filtration membrane 22B is supplementarily fixed to the filter plate 22A.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
One example of the ultrasonic welding method is a rotary welding method. As shown in FIG. 10, a filter membrane 22B is arranged so as to cover the surface of the filter plate 22A, and the rotary horn 31 rotates the rotary horn 31 while pressing the filter membrane 22B against the filter plate 22A by the rotary horn 31. The filtration membrane 22B and the filter plate 22A are welded by the output ultrasonic waves to form the water stop portion S and the auxiliary welding portion B.
[0008]
However, in the rotary welding method, as shown in FIG. 11, the filter plate 22A is melted and depressed in a groove shape at the water stopping portion S, and the filter membrane 22B is welded in a state of being cut into the filter plate 22A. The film 22B hurts, and fatigue destruction easily occurs.
Another example of the ultrasonic welding method is an up-down method. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a seal portion 32 and an auxiliary portion 33 for forming the water stop portion S are formed on the surface of the filter plate 22A in advance so as to protrude from the surface. The filter membrane 22B is disposed so as to cover the auxiliary section 33, and the up-down horn 34 is pressed against the sealing section 32 and the auxiliary section 33 from above the filter membrane 22B, and filtration is performed by ultrasonic waves output from the up-down horn 34. The membrane 22B is welded to the filter plate 22A at the seal portion 32 and the auxiliary portion 33 to form the water stop portion S and the auxiliary weld portion B.
[0009]
In the original dimensions before welding, the height of the seal portion 32 is 0.5 mm and the height of the auxiliary portion 33 is 0.15 mm. Here, the reason why the seal portion 32 is formed higher than the auxiliary portion 33 is to enhance the water stoppage at the water stop portion S by strongly welding at the seal portion 32. However, on the other hand, the strength of the filtration membrane 22B decreases at the water stop portion S, and the filtration membrane 22B becomes fatigued earlier than the auxiliary welded portion B and is easily damaged.
[0010]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a submerged membrane cartridge that can increase durability against aeration.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method for manufacturing a submerged membrane cartridge according to the present invention according to claim 1 includes a resin filter plate having a double linear seal portion and a band-like auxiliary portion on the surface of the filter plate. , And integrally formed over the entire circumference along the peripheral edge of the filter plate, the inner seal portion is formed lower than the outer seal portion, and the outer seal portion and the outer seal portion are located on the outer edge. The auxiliary part and the auxiliary part are formed at the same height, the filter membrane is arranged on the surface of the filter plate so as to cover both the seal part and the auxiliary part, and the up-down horn is pressed against both the seal part and the auxiliary part from above the filter membrane. Then, an ultrasonic wave is output from the up-down horn to weld the filtration membrane at both seal portions and the auxiliary portion, and a linear water-stop portion is formed at both seal portions to hold the filtration membrane in a tension state. Forming an auxiliary welding part on the auxiliary part A.
[0012]
With the above configuration, since the outer seal portion protrudes higher than the inner seal portion, at the initial stage of welding, the filtration membrane is sandwiched between the up-down horn and the outer seal portion and the auxiliary portion and does not contact the inner seal portion. Prior to the inner seal portion, welding of the filter membrane and the filter plate starts at the outer seal portion and the auxiliary portion, and then, the filter membrane and the filter plate are welded at the inner seal portion.
[0013]
For this reason, the welding strength at the water stopping portion formed at the inner seal portion becomes weaker than the welding strength at the water stopping portion formed at the outer seal portion. The membrane is peeled from the inner seal portion before breaking at the inner water stop portion, thereby preserving the function as the membrane. At this time, since the water stopping function is secured in the outer water stopping part, the membrane cartridge can maintain its filtration function, and by repairing the water stopping part peeled off at the time of inspection, etc., the life of the membrane cartridge can be extended. Can be achieved.
[0014]
In addition, since the welding at the outer seal portion precedes, the filter membrane comes into contact with the inner seal portion in a stretched state, and after welding, the effective filtration area of the filter membrane surrounded by the inner water blocking portion is maintained in a tensioned state. Therefore, no wrinkles or looseness occurs.
In the method for manufacturing a submerged membrane cartridge according to the present invention according to claim 2, a double-lined seal portion and a band-shaped auxiliary portion are protruded from a surface of the filter plate on a resin-made filter plate to form a filter plate. Formed integrally over the entire circumference along the peripheral edge, filter membranes are placed on both front and back sides of the filter plate to cover the seal part and auxiliary part, and the filter plate and the filter membrane are placed on the welding jig and The inner seal part on the surface is brought into contact with the welding jig via the filtration membrane, the up-down horn is pressed against the outer seal part and the auxiliary part from above the filtration membrane on the front side, and ultrasonic waves are output from the up-down horn. The filter membrane on the front side is welded at the outer seal part and the auxiliary part, and the filter membrane on the back side is welded at the inner seal part, the filter plate is inverted and placed on a welding jig, and the inner seal on the front side is removed. Contact the welding jig through the filtration membrane Pressing the up-down horn against the outer seal portion and the auxiliary portion from above the filtration membrane on the back side, outputting ultrasonic waves from the up-down horn and welding the filtration membrane on the back side at the outer seal portion and the auxiliary portion, The filtration membrane on the front side is welded at the inner seal portion, a linear water-stop portion is formed on both seal portions to keep the filtration membrane in a tensioned state, and an auxiliary weld portion is formed on the auxiliary portion. .
[0015]
With the above-described configuration, the ultrasonic wave output from the up-down horn strongly acts on the outer seal portion and the auxiliary portion via the filtration membrane, and further weakly acts on the inner seal portion abutting on the welding jig via the filter plate. . For this reason, the welding strength at the water stopping portion formed at the inner seal portion becomes weaker than the welding strength at the water stopping portion formed at the outer seal portion. The membrane is peeled from the inner seal portion before breaking at the inner water stop portion, thereby preserving the function as the membrane. At this time, since the water stopping function is secured in the outer water stopping part, the membrane cartridge can maintain its filtration function, and by repairing the water stopping part peeled off at the time of inspection, etc., the life of the membrane cartridge can be extended. Can be achieved.
[0016]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a submerged membrane cartridge according to the present invention, wherein a knurl is formed on a contact surface of an up-down horn with respect to a filtration membrane, and the knurl is formed on an outer water-stop portion and an auxiliary portion formed on an outer seal portion. The auxiliary welding portion is formed in a knurled shape.
With this configuration, the ultrasonic wave output from the up-down horn acts strongly at the ridge of the knurl, and strongly welds the filtration membrane at the outer seal portion and the auxiliary portion.
[0017]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The immersion type membrane cartridge in the present embodiment is used for the immersion type membrane separation device, and the basic structure of the immersion type membrane separation device is the same as that described in FIG. The members are assigned the same reference numerals and the description is omitted.
[0018]
Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing the membrane cartridge 22 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The filter plate 41 is made of ABS resin, and has a shape of, for example, 490 mm (width) × 1000 mm (length) × 6 mm (thickness). It protrudes from the surface of the filter plate 41 and is formed integrally over the entire periphery along the peripheral edge of the filter plate 41. The auxiliary part 43 is located at a position corresponding to the periphery of the filtration membrane 44, the auxiliary part 43 and the outer seal part 42b are formed at the same height of 0.5 mm, and the inner seal part 42a has a lower height than the outer seal part 42b. It has a shape of 4 mm.
[0019]
The filter plate 41 is disposed on the welding jig 45, and the filter membrane 44 is disposed on the surface of the filter plate 41 so as to cover both the seal portions 42 a and 42 b and the auxiliary portion 43. The filtration membrane 44 is manufactured by impregnating both surfaces of a nonwoven fabric substrate having a predetermined strength with an organic membrane agent.
In this state, the up-down horn 46 is pressed from above the filtration membrane 44 against both the seal portions 42 a and 42 b and the auxiliary portion 43. The up-down horn 46 outputs ultrasonic waves, and has a flat contact surface facing the filtration membrane 44.
[0020]
Ultrasonic waves are output from the up-down horn 46 to weld the filtration membrane 44 to both the seal portions 42 a and 42 b and the auxiliary portion 43. At this time, since the outer seal portion 42b and the auxiliary portion 43 protrude higher than the inner seal portion 42a, welding of the filtration membrane 44 and the filter plate 41 starts at the outer seal portion 42b and the auxiliary portion 43 prior to the inner seal portion 42a. Subsequently, the filtration membrane 44 and the filter plate 41 are welded in the inner seal portion 42a.
[0021]
As described above, in the welding operation, the welding in the outer seal portion 42b and the auxiliary portion 43 precedes, and the filter membrane 44 abuts on the inner seal portion 42a in a state of being expanded, and the two seal portions 42a and 42b are linearly formed. The water blocking portions S1 and S2 are formed, and after welding, the effective filtration area of the filtration membrane 44 surrounded by the water blocking portion S1 on the inside is maintained in a tensioned state, and the auxiliary welding portion B is formed in the auxiliary portion 43. .
[0022]
Further, since the inner seal portion 42a has a lower shape than the outer seal portion 42b, the welding strength at the water seal portion S1 formed on the inner seal portion 42a is lower than the welding strength at the water seal portion S2 formed on the outer seal portion 42b. The welding strength becomes weak.
For this reason, in response to vibration fatigue caused by aeration generated when the membrane cartridge 22 is used in the immersion type membrane separation device, the filtration membrane 44 is separated from the inner seal portion 42a before breaking at the inner water stop portion S1. To preserve the function as a membrane. At this time, even if the outer seal portion 42b exhibits a water stopping function and the filtration membrane 44 peels off from the inner seal portion 42a, the membrane cartridge 22 can maintain its filtration function, and can be stopped at the time of inspection or the like. By repairing the water portion S1, the life of the membrane cartridge 22 can be extended.
[0023]
Another manufacturing method of the membrane cartridge 22 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The filter plate 51 is made of ABS resin, and has double-lined sealing portions 52a and 52b and a band-shaped auxiliary portion 53 protruding from the surface of the filter plate 51 on the front and back surfaces, and extends along the peripheral edge of the filter plate 51. It is molded integrally over the circumference. The seal portions 52a and 52b and the auxiliary portion 53 are formed at the same height.
[0024]
A filtration membrane 54 is disposed on the front and back surfaces of the filter plate 51 so as to cover both the seal portions 52a and 52b and the auxiliary portion 53. The filtration membrane 54 is manufactured by impregnating both surfaces of a nonwoven fabric substrate having a predetermined strength with an organic membrane agent.
The filter plate 51 and the filtration membrane 54 are arranged on the welding jig 55, and the inner seal portion 52 a on the back surface is brought into contact with the welding jig 55 via the filtration membrane 54. In this state, the up-down horn 56 is pressed against the outer seal portion 52b and the auxiliary portion 53 from above the filtration membrane 54 on the front side. As shown in FIG. 5, the up-down horn 56 has a knurl 56 a on a contact surface with the filtration membrane 54.
[0025]
Ultrasonic waves are output from the up-down horn 56 to weld the filtration membrane 54 on the front side at the outer seal part 52b and the auxiliary part 53, and to weld the filtration membrane 54 on the back side at the inner seal part 52a. Further, the filter plate 51 is turned upside down and placed on a welding jig 55, and the same welding operation is performed to weld the filtration membrane 54 on the back side at the outer seal portion 52b and the auxiliary portion 53, and to filter the membrane on the front side. 54 are welded at the inner seal portion 52a.
[0026]
By welding, a linear water-stop portion S1 is formed in the inner seal portion 52a to hold the filtration membrane in a tensioned state, and a water-stop portion S2 is formed in the outer seal portion 52b, and the auxiliary welding portion B is formed in the auxiliary portion 53. To form The outer water stopping portion S2 and the auxiliary welding portion B have a knurled shape.
In the welding operation described above, the ultrasonic wave output from the up-down horn 56 becomes strong at the peak of the knurl 56a, acts strongly on the outer seal portion 52b and the auxiliary portion 53 via the filtration membrane 54, and moves the filtration membrane 54 to the outside. Strong welding occurs at the seal portion 52b and the auxiliary portion 53. On the other hand, since the ultrasonic wave weakly acts on the inner seal portion 52a abutting on the welding jig 55 via the filter plate 51, the inner seal portion 52a has a greater strength than the welding strength at the water stopping portion S2 formed on the outer seal portion 52b. The welding strength at the water stop portion S1 formed at the bottom is reduced.
[0027]
For this reason, the filtration membrane 54 is separated from the inner seal portion 52a before breaking at the inner water stopping portion S1 against vibration fatigue during use of the membrane cartridge 22, thereby maintaining the function as a membrane. At this time, since the water stopping performance is ensured in the outer water stopping portion S2, the membrane cartridge 22 can maintain its filtration function, and by repairing the water stopping portion S1 peeled off at the time of inspection or the like, the membrane cartridge 22 can be repaired. 22 can be prolonged.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by weakening the welding strength at the water blocking portion formed at the inner seal portion relative to the welding strength at the water blocking portion formed at the outer sealing portion, filtering against vibration fatigue is performed. The membrane can be peeled off from the inner seal before it breaks, preserving its function as a membrane, and the outer seal exerting the water-stopping ability, allowing the membrane cartridge to maintain its filtration function. The life of the cartridge can be extended.
