System and method for installing filtering membrane module to frame structure
View Patent ↗A system and method for installing a large-sized filtering membrane module to a frame structure with easiness is disclosed, wherein the system comprises a frame structure to which the filtering membrane module is to be installed; and an installing apparatus for installing the filtering membrane module to the frame structure, wherein the installing apparatus comprises a horizontal rod parallel to an inserting direction of the filtering membrane module into the frame structure; and a moving unit movable toward the frame structure along the horizontal rod while supporting the filtering membrane module.
1. A system for installing a filtering membrane module comprising:
a frame structure to which the filtering membrane module is to be installed; and
an installing apparatus for installing the filtering membrane module to the frame structure,
wherein the installing apparatus comprises:
a horizontal rod parallel to an inserting direction of the filtering membrane module into the frame structure;
a moving unit movable toward the frame structure along the horizontal rod while supporting the filtering membrane module; and
a guide unit movable toward and into the frame structure along the horizontal rod,
wherein the guide unit is movable independently from the moving unit so as to provide a path for insertion of the filtering membrane inside the frame structure, and
wherein the moving unit comprises:
a fixing plate to be detachably combined with a header of the filtering membrane module; and
a supporting unit having side fixed to the fixing plate, and the other side movably connected to the horizontal rod.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting unit includes a pivot member, pivotal movement of the pivot member in a first direction makes a closed through-hole to be penetrated by the horizontal rod, and pivotal movement of the pivot member in a second direction opposite to the first direction makes the closed through-hole open.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the frame structure comprises a frontal cross bar perpendicular to the inserting direction of the filtering membrane module at a side for inserting the filtering membrane module, and a slide groove is formed on a front face of the frontal cross bar, the slide groove extending in a longitudinal direction of the frontal cross bar; and
wherein the installing apparatus further comprises a slide member to be inserted into the slide groove so as to enable the installing apparatus to move along the slide groove.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein a guide groove is formed on at least one side of a header of the filtering membrane module, the guide groove extending along a longitudinal direction of the header; and
wherein the frame structure comprises a frontal cross bar perpendicular to the inserting direction of the filtering membrane module at a side for inserting the filtering membrane module, the frontal cross bar provided with a guide rail to be inserted into the guide groove so as to provide a moving path for insertion of the filtering membrane module.
5. A system for installing a filtering membrane module comprising:
a frame structure to which the filtering membrane module is to be installed; and
an installing apparatus for installing the filtering membrane module to the frame structure,
wherein the installing apparatus comprises:
a horizontal rod parallel to an inserting direction of the filtering membrane module into the frame structure;
a moving unit movable toward the frame structure along the horizontal rod while supporting the filtering membrane module; and
a guide unit movable toward and into the frame structure along the horizontal rod,
wherein the guide unit is movable independently from the moving unit so as to provide a path for insertion of the filtering membrane inside the frame structure, and
wherein the guide unit comprises:
a guide plate having a through-hole penetrated by the horizontal rod, the guide plate being movable along the horizontal rod; and
a guide bar combined with the guide plate, the guide bar having a longitudinal direction parallel to the horizontal rod.
6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein a pair of coupling ribs of symmetric shapes are provided at a lateral side of a header of the filtering membrane module, and the guide bar is to be interposed between the pair of coupling ribs.
7. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the frame structure comprises a guide bar receiver capable of supporting the guide bar by receiving an end part of the guide bar.
8. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the frame structure comprises a frontal cross bar perpendicular to the inserting direction of the filtering membrane module at a side for inserting the filtering membrane module, and a slide groove is formed on a front face of the frontal cross bar, the slide groove extending in a longitudinal direction of the frontal cross bar; and
wherein the installing apparatus further comprises a slide member to be inserted into the slide groove so as to enable the installing apparatus to move along the slide groove.
9. The system according to claim 5 , wherein a guide groove is formed on at least one side of a header of the filtering membrane module, the guide groove extending along a longitudinal direction of the header; and
wherein the frame structure comprises a frontal cross bar perpendicular to the inserting direction of the filtering membrane module at a side for inserting the filtering membrane module, the frontal cross bar provided with a guide rail to be inserted into the guide groove so as to provide a moving path for insertion of the filtering membrane module.
