The disclosure relates to the technical field of liquid filtration, in particular to a hollow fiber liquid filter device, provided with exhaust fiber membranes, with an exhaust function, and further relates to a liquid filtering method of the hollow fiber liquid filter device provided with exhaust fibers. The device may operate by means of low-pressure suction force generated by the mouth of a user or other suction tools.
Hollow fiber liquid filtration technology is used in a variety of water filter devices, including industrial water filter devices, home filter devices and personal filter devices.
The existing hollow fiber liquid filter membranes encounter a general problem in the use process that hollow fiber liquid filter membranes depending on low-pressure or non-pressure suction force need to be used in personal filter devices or outdoor emergency filter devices, but the hollow fiber liquid filter membranes have hydrophilicity; when the membrane walls of the membranes with hydrophilicity are in a wet state after being in contact with water air is difficult to penetrate through the membrane walls or even cannot penetrate through the membrane walls, and a problem for the use method of the maximum contact surfaces of the membranes occurs (the exteriors of the membranes are in contact with liquid, and the liquid penetrates through, the membrane walls to enter the inner cavities of the membranes to be filtered) in use; and air in the device cannot be discharged normally and is retained in the device, so that the air can prevent liquid from flowing, and the phenomena that the device is difficult to discharge water and, even does not discharge water can be caused.
In order to solve the problem, many such products adopt a method that the filter membranes are used in the reverse direction (the inner cavities of the membranes are used for absorbing water, and the liquid enters the exteriors of the membranes through the membrane walls). Although the method effectively solves the problem of air retention in the device, the use method can cause the inner cavities of the membranes to be easily blocked by particles in water, so that the service life of the membrane is greatly shortened, and the flow amount of water in the device is influenced; and moreover, some hard particle impurities enter the inner cavities of the hollow fiber membranes and easily scratch the membrane walls under the flowing of liquid, so that the filter device instantly loses efficacy. In this way, the problems that the service life of the device is short and the filtering reliability cannot be guaranteed in the use process are solved.
