[0028] The outer surface of the electrolyte storage tank 1 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 104 , and the upper surface of the electrolyte storage tank 1 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 103 .
[0029] Through the design of the electrolyte storage tank 1, the water pump 2, the pipeline 201, the spreading component 3 and the purge component 4, during the cleaning of the electrolyte storage tank 1, the pipeline 201 can be connected to the external air pump, and nitrogen can be flushed into the purge component 4 through the air pump. The purge component 4 will purge the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 with high pressure, and at the same time use nitrogen to squeeze out the residual liquid in the barrel to prevent water from directly contacting the potentially harmful electrolyte. The electrolyte attached to the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 is purged with nitrogen. The recommended nitrogen pressure is 0.15-0.25MPa, and the purge time is about 2-5 minutes. This can save nitrogen consumption while ensuring the purge effect;
[0030] Then the staff can pump the cleaning agent into the pipe 201 through the water pump 2. Before the cleaning agent is discharged from the pipe 201 into the electrolyte storage tank 1, it will be stamped on the surface of the spreading component 3. After being stamped by the cleaning agent, the spreading component 3 will rotate, and then the cleaning agent can be thrown 360° onto the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1. Through the rotation and swing of the spreading component 3, the cleaning agent can be fully attached to the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 for cleaning, which can avoid the occurrence of cleaning dead corners and does not require additional energy supply.

The annular tube 401 can seal and block the annular opening 105. The inner ring surface of the annular tube 401 is connected to a through tube 402, which is inserted from the annular opening 105 to the interior of the electrolyte storage tank 1.
[0032] The lower surface of the through pipe 402 is connected to a high-pressure air blowing nozzle 403 , which is attached to the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 , and the outer surface of the ring pipe 401 is connected to an air inlet pipe 404 .
[0033] Through the design of the ring tube 401, the through tube 402 and the high-pressure blowing nozzle 403, during the cleaning process of the electrolyte storage tank 1, the pipeline 201 can be connected to the external air pump, and nitrogen can be flushed into the ring tube 401 through the air pump, and the ring tube 401 will supply nitrogen into the high-pressure blowing nozzle 403, so that the nitrogen can be flushed into the electrolyte storage tank 1 from the high-pressure blowing nozzle 403 and blown downward along the inner wall of the tank body. The nitrogen purge can effectively remove the air and other gases in the storage tank, as well as possible particulate impurities, which is very important for ensuring the purity and stability of the electrolyte, because any residual gas or impurities may affect the quality of the electrolyte. By using nitrogen purge, the cleaning process can be completed quickly and efficiently without disassembling the electrolyte barrel. This method not only saves time and labor, but also reduces the amount of solvents and high-purity water used in the cleaning process, reducing costs and energy consumption.
[0034] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the spreading assembly 3 includes a swivel 304, which is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the pipe 201, and a connecting rod 303 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the swivel 304. A conical disk 301 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the connecting rod 303, and the conical disk 301 is perpendicular to the water inlet of the pipe 201.
[0035] A sealing rotation groove 306 is provided in the rotating ring 304 . The rotating ring 304 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the sealing limit ring 202 through the sealing rotation groove 306 . The sealing limit ring 202 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the pipe 201 .
[0036] A threaded protrusion 305 and a water barrier 302 are provided on the conical surface of the conical disk 301 . The threaded protrusion 305 is located at the top end of the conical disk 301 and is flush with the rotating ring 304 .
[0037] Through the design of the conical disk 301, the water barrier strip 302, the threaded protrusion 305 and the rotating ring 304, when flushing the electrolyte storage tank 1, the staff can pump the cleaning agent into the pipe 201 through the water pump 2, and before the cleaning agent is discharged from the pipe 201 into the electrolyte storage tank 1, it will first be pressed on the threaded protrusion 305 of the conical disk 301, and the threaded protrusion 305 will drive the conical disk 301 to rotate on the outer surface of the pipe 201 through the rotating ring 304 after being pressed by the cleaning agent, thereby The cleaning agent can be swung 360° onto the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1, and through the conical surface of the conical disk 301 and the rotating swinging force, the cleaning agent can be fully attached to the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 for cleaning. During the rotation of the conical disk 301, the water barrier strip 302 pushes the cleaning agent to swing, so that the cleaning agent can be flushed on the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 with greater force, and the 360° swinging can avoid cleaning dead corners, and the rotation does not require additional energy supply.
[0038] The working steps of this scheme are summarized and sorted out according to the above technical scheme: in the process of cleaning the electrolyte storage tank 1, the pipeline 201 can be connected to the external air pump, and nitrogen can be flushed into the ring tube 401 through the air pump, and the ring tube 401 will supply the nitrogen into the high-pressure blowing nozzle 403, so that the nitrogen can be flushed into the electrolyte storage tank 1 from the high-pressure blowing nozzle 403, and blown downward along the inside of the tank body, and the nitrogen purge can effectively remove the air and other gases in the storage tank, as well as possible particulate impurities, which is very important for ensuring the purity and stability of the electrolyte, because any residual gas or impurities may affect the quality of the electrolyte. By using nitrogen purge, the cleaning process can be completed quickly and efficiently without disassembling the electrolyte barrel. This method not only saves time and labor, but also reduces the amount of solvents and high-purity water used in the cleaning process, reducing costs and energy consumption;
[0039] Then the staff can pump the cleaning agent into the pipe 201 through the water pump 2. Before the cleaning agent is discharged from the pipe 201 into the electrolyte storage tank 1, it will first be stamped on the threaded ridges 305 of the conical disk 301. After the threaded ridges 305 are stamped by the cleaning agent, they will drive the conical disk 301 to rotate on the outer surface of the pipe 201 through the swivel 304, so that the cleaning agent can be thrown 360° onto the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 for flushing, and the cleaning agent will flow out through the liquid outlet pipe 104.
[0040] In summary: through the conical surface of the conical disk 301 and the rotating swinging force, the cleaning agent can be rinsed on the inner wall of the electrolyte storage tank 1 without dead corners, and the 360° swinging can avoid cleaning dead corners, and the rotation does not require additional energy supply.
