Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a Section 371 of International Application No. PCT/CN2018/111267, filed Oct. 22, 2018, which was published in the Chinese language on Oct. 10, 2019, under International Publication No. WO 2019/192162 A1, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(b) to Chinese Application No. 201810281393.6, filed Apr. 2, 2018, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of water treatment devices, in particular to a full-effective reverse osmosis membrane element and a water purifier having the same.


BACKGROUND

With regard to reverse osmosis membrane elements most widely used at present, raw water inflows from one end and flows in a direction parallel to a central tube; purified water enters a membrane bag of a reverse osmosis membrane to flow into the central tube via a through hole in the central tube and then flow out of the central tube via a purified water outlet; concentrated water which does not pass through the reverse osmosis membrane flows out of the central tube via a concentrated water-outlet at the periphery of the central tube in the direction parallel to the central tube. In this way, the raw water flows in the direction parallel to a reverse osmosis membrane assembly and the central tube and makes contact with a reverse osmosis membrane for a short time. A water flow channel of the reverse osmosis membrane assembly formed by winding in such manner is wide, and water on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane flows at a low speed, as a result, concentration polarization is generated on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane. Consequentially, it is prone to scaling on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane. Furthermore, the raw water contiguously osmoses into the membrane bag in the flow direction thereof, as a result, the water concentration (saltness) is increasingly high, the water on the surface, close to the concentrated water-outlet, of the reverse osmosis membrane has increasingly high saltness, precipitation and scaling of solutes on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane are increasingly serious. Consequentially, the use life of the reverse osmosis membrane is shortened.


Chinese Patent Publication No. CN102976447 discloses a lateral-flow reverse osmosis membrane element. A waterproof adhesive tape is located between a flow guide net and a reverse osmosis membrane. As shown in FIG. 1, the flow guide net 20′ in an unfolded state is rectangular and has an end connected to a central tube 21′. The central tube 21′ is located on a winding starting end of the flow guide net, and the winding direction is shown by an arrow 24′ in FIG. 1. Opposite edges 22′ and 23′ parallel to the winding direction are coated with waterproof adhesive tapes (as shown by thick black lines). And the edge 22′ extends from the winding starting end to the winding tail end, the edge 23′ is partially coated with the waterproof adhesive tape 231′, and a portion 232′, not coated with the waterproof adhesive tape, of the edge 23′ serves as a water outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane element, which is obtained after winding and a subsequent conventional process are completed. In FIG. 2, a water inlet 32′ corresponds to an edge 25′ in FIG. 1, and a water outlet 31′ corresponds to the portion 232′ not coated is with the waterproof adhesive tape in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, a water inlet 42′ corresponds to the portion 232′ not coated with the waterproof adhesive tape in FIG. 1, and a water outlet 41′ corresponds to the edge 25′. In this way, raw water flows in the length direction of the reverse osmosis membrane; compared with another way that water inflows from one end and outflows from the other end, this way increases the contact area of the reverse osmosis membrane, thus improving the filter efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane and increasing the purified water reclaim rate and water flux of the reverse osmosis membrane element. However, in such way, a “dead space” exists to a certain extent, namely an area 26′ in FIG. 1, the flow rate on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane in this area is reduced, and consequentially, the use rate and efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane are reduced. Although a waterproof adhesive tape 27′ is additionally arranged in the area 26′ in the prior art, the effect is limited, and the reverse osmosis membrane element still has the above problems.

The third water outlet 111 can eliminate the dead space of the second flow channel 1152 at the third water outlet 111 to avoid the precipitation of the pollutants caused by a flow “dead space” of a fluid at the third water outlet 111, thus increasing the use rate of the reverse osmosis membranes 112.
