  • Publication number: 20200070100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a variable-diameter spinning nozzle, processing devices for hollow fiber membrane bundle and membrane module. The variable-diameter spinning nozzle comprises a center round tube, a middle round tube and an external chamber which are sequentially nested, and a first drive mechanism for driving the middle round tube to move vertically upwards and downwards. The bottoms of the center round tube, the middle round tube and the external chamber are leveled. The variable-diameter spinning nozzle provided by present invention obtains membrane fiber by adjusting the location of the middle round tube, and this membrane fiber involves membrane fiber heads with relatively large diameter on both ends and a membrane fiber middle section with relatively small diameter.

  • Patent number: 10337493
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of adaptively adjusting lift and drag on an airfoil-shaped sail. The method includes: (1) mounting at least one airfoil-shaped sail body having an airfoil-shaped cross section; (2) defining a Y-shaped air jet channel in the airfoil-shaped sail body; (3) arranging a flow regulating gate in the Y-shaped air jet channel; (4) adjusting the flow regulating gate to automatically adjust the gate opening extent and the cross section opening or closing extent in response to an oncoming flow with a varying direction and speed, to regulate the airflow within the air jet channel and accordingly change the angle of attack, so that the lift and drag on the sail body can be automatically adjusted as the wind speed changes. Further disclosed are an airfoil-shaped sail implementing the above method as well as a vertical-axis wind turbine employing the airfoil-shaped sail.
