Abstract

A filtering apparatus is provided for filtering raw water containing various impurities and mixtures into purified water, and more particularly, a multistage filtering apparatus is provided in which a rotor for generating vortex are installed in each of multiple layers of filtration membrane stacked within a closed barrel and the rotors are formed in multistage by having different diameter of each rotor so that the power for generating vortex can be remarkably minimized by generating the vertical vortex from top and bottom of the rotary rotor and the horizontal vortex from the outer side of circumference plate of the rotary rotor to be crossed over between membranes to prevent from blocking the pores or remove the deposited pollutants, and the closed-type barrel having multistage of membranes, rotary shaft, and rotary rotors for vortex generation within are constructed as a single module of filter pack, and the filter pack is connected and extended in accordance with required purified capacity so that large scale installation of filtering apparatus is possible.

Claims (30)

1. A closed-type filtering apparatus employing a multistage rotor generating variable vortex flow in which introduced raw water for filtering is separated into purified/treated water and concentrated water to he discharged. the filtering apparatus comprising:

a closed-type barrel having a left lid unit and a right lid unit therein and forming a body of the filter apparatus;

a plurality of plate-type porous membranes installed spaced apart in an inner wall of the barrel and configured to filter the raw water;

a rotary shaft installed in a central portion of the barrel and connected to a driving shaft of a motor;

a plurality of rotary rotors of varying diameter installed spaced apart on the rotary shaft and alternatively arranged with the membrane, and configured to generate vortex;

a raw water inlet installed in the left lid unit;

a purified water outlet installed in the right lid unit;

a concentrated water outlet installed in the right lid unit;

a supporting bracket installed at a predetermined distance and configured to prevent the rotary shaft from bending or drooping; and

a subsidiary bracket configured to support the barrel,

wherein the smallest diameter of rotary rotor is installed in the raw water inlet through Which the raw water inflows and the diameter of rotary rotor is gradually increased towards the concentrated water outlet.

2. The closed-type filtering apparatus employing the multistage rotor generating variable vortex flow as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of rectangular vortex generating projection is formed in predetermined distance in outer direction of each rotary rotor.

3. The closed-type filtering apparatus employing the multistage rotor generating variable vortex flow as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of triangular vortex generating projection is installed on circumference plate alternatively arranged to have one side of triangle faces top and another side faces down.
