After a plurality of screws pass through the sealing plate fixing holes 1.1 of the two end pressure plates, the screws are tightened with nuts to limit the two end pressure plates, ensuring that the two end pressure plates always press tightly against the cylindrical electrolytic cell body from both sides to prevent the electrolytic cell body from deformation. When the electrolytic cell body undergoes slight lateral deformation, the head 3 is subjected to the force of the electrolytic cell body, and the pressure of the multiphase fluid itself can counteract and balance the force, thereby fine-tuning and controlling the structural deformation of the head 3, thereby ensuring that the deformation variables of the end pressure plate are consistent with those of the traditional thick steel plate, thereby ensuring the structural strength and rigidity of the end pressure plate.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods.
