With social progress and technological development, its application in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic information and other fields is becoming more and more widespread, and the market demand for high-purity magnesium is also growing.
[0003] Existing magnesium metal preparation reaction tanks cannot quickly separate the liquid magnesium after electrolysis. If the liquid magnesium stays in the reaction tank for too long, it will increase the contact time with the reaction tank materials and electrolytes, which may cause more impurities to dissolve into the liquid magnesium, affecting the purity of the magnesium metal and reducing product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to the problem that existing magnesium metal preparation reaction tanks cannot quickly separate the liquid magnesium after electrolysis, resulting in more impurities dissolving into the liquid magnesium, affecting the purity of the magnesium metal, and reducing product quality.
[0005] Technical solution: A modular electrolytic reaction cell for preparing high-purity metallic magnesium includes a reaction cell body, a cover plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the reaction cell body by multiple bolts, a conveying pipe fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the cover plate, and a collection box fixedly connected to the right side of the lower inner surface of the reaction cell body.
[0006] The collection box has a through-type collection port on the upper left side inside. A baffle is installed inside the collection port.

The right side of the L-shaped discharge pipe extends to the right side of the reaction tank body.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple support pillars are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the reaction tank body.
[0008] Furthermore, the inside of the collection box, above and below the collection port, is integrally formed with movable cavities.

A push rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the output shaft of the electric push rod, and the right end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the second sliding plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cover plate, and the lower surface of the sealing gasket is in close contact with the upper surface of the reaction tank body.
[0010] Furthermore, the inside of the collection box is equipped with multiple heating plates.

[0021] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple support columns 9 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the reaction tank body 1;
[0024] The multiple support pillars 9 can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the reaction tank body 1 during operation, prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the ground and causing resonance, and thus affect the surrounding equipment. This ensures that the reaction tank body 1 is placed stably on the ground and prevents displacement due to factors such as slippery ground and vibration, thus ensuring the safety of the entire production process.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a sealing gasket 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cover plate 2, and the lower surface of the sealing gasket 18 is in close contact with the upper surface of the reaction tank body 1.
[0026] In practical use, the presence of sealing gasket 18 can prevent outside air from entering the reaction tank body 1. Once impurities such as oxygen and moisture in the outside air enter, they may react with the high-temperature magnesium vapor or active electrolyte, affecting the purity of magnesium and reducing product quality. At the same time, it can also prevent corrosive chlorine and other harmful gases generated in the reaction tank body 1 from leaking into the environment, avoiding harm to the health of operators.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a modular electrolytic reaction tank for preparing high-purity metallic magnesium is provided, including a reaction tank body 1. A cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the reaction tank body 1 by multiple bolts. A conveying pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the cover plate 2. A collection box 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the lower inner surface of the reaction tank body 1. A through-type collection port 5 is opened on the upper left side of the inner side of the collection box 4. A baffle 6 is set inside the collection port 5. A flow control box 7 is fixedly connected to the lower inner surface of the collection box 4. An L-shaped discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the flow control box 7. The right side of the L-shaped discharge pipe 8 extends to the right side of the reaction tank body 1. A level gauge 30 is set on the inner side wall of the reaction tank body 1 and the inner side wall of the collection box 4.
[0028] The collection box 4 has integrally formed movable cavities 10 located above and below the collection port 5. Sliding plates 11 are slidably connected inside the two movable cavities 10. The upper and lower surfaces of the baffle 6 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two sliding plates 11. A through-flow groove 12 is opened inside the movable cavity 10 located on the right side of the baffle 6. A gas box 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the reaction tank body 1. A sliding plate 14 is slidably connected inside the gas box 13. Gas outlet holes 15 are opened on the upper surface of the gas box 13 and the lower surface of the movable cavity 10. An electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the reaction tank body 1 and to the left side of the gas box 13. A push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the right end of the output shaft of the electric push rod 16. The right end of the push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding plate 14.
[0029] During preparation, electrolyte is added so that the electrolyte level is below the height of collection port 5, ensuring that the electrolyzed magnesium layer flows from collection port 5 into collection tank 4. As the reaction tank 1 electrolyzes, the magnesium layer gradually thickens. Two level gauges 30 monitor the magnesium level in the reaction tank 1 in real time and provide feedback to the computer control terminal. When the magnesium layer thickness reaches the set thickness, the electric push rod 16 is activated. The output shaft of the electric push rod 16 pushes the push rod 17 to the right. The push rod 17 causes the sliding plate 14 to slide to the right within the air box 13. Air from the air box 13 enters the lower movable chamber 10 through the air inlet 15. The air entering the movable chamber 10 pushes the sliding plate 11 upwards, thereby driving the baffle plate 1... 6 moves upward. When baffle 6 moves upward to a certain position, flow channel 12 aligns with collection port 5. Liquid magnesium flows into control box 7 inside collection tank 4 through collection port 5 and flow channel 12, and then exits through L-shaped discharge pipe 8 to the right side of reaction tank body 1. When the liquid magnesium level drops to a certain level, electric push rod 16 reverses its operation, push rod 17 drives sliding plate 14 to slide to the left, air in air box 13 flows back, sliding plate 11 drives baffle 6 to move downward, closing collection port 5 and stopping liquid magnesium from flowing into collection tank 4. This achieves automatic control of liquid magnesium collection, reduces manual operation, improves production efficiency and stability, and reduces impurity contamination, thereby improving the product quality of high-purity metallic magnesium.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inside of the collection box 4 is equipped with multiple heating plates 19;
[0031] When liquid magnesium flows into the collection tank 4, multiple heating plates 19 are activated to maintain the high temperature of the liquid magnesium. If the temperature drops, the liquid magnesium may solidify, thereby blocking the flow channels inside the collection tank 4 and seriously affecting the continuity of production.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a control cavity 20 is provided at the upper part of the flow control box 7, and a flow cavity 21 is provided at the lower part of the flow control box 7. A through-flow groove 22 is provided on the left and right sides of the flow cavity 21. A motor fixing groove 23 is provided on the lower surface of the control cavity 20. A drive motor 24 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the motor fixing groove 23. A screw 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft of the drive motor 24. The top of the screw 25 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the control cavity 20 through a rotating shaft. A movable plate 26 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 25. Two baffles 27 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 26. The lower surfaces of the two baffles 27 extend into the interior of the flow cavity 21 and are fixedly connected to a sealing gasket 28. The lower surfaces of the two sealing gaskets 28 are in contact with the lower surface of the interior of the flow cavity 21.
[0033] When the liquid magnesium in the collection tank 4 reaches a certain amount, the control system issues a command to start the drive motor 24. The drive motor 24 drives the screw 25 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 25 causes the moving plate 26 to move upward along the screw 25 within the control cavity 20. The moving plate 26 drives the two baffles 27 fixedly connected to it to move upward synchronously. The sealing gaskets 28 on the lower surface of the two baffles 27 then leave the lower surface of the inner side of the flow cavity 21, causing the two flow channels 22 to be opened. At this time, the liquid magnesium in the collection tank 4 flows out of the control box 7 through the two flow channels 22 and is then discharged into the reaction tank through the L-shaped discharge pipe 8. On the outside of the main body 1, after the liquid magnesium is drained, the control system controls the drive motor 24 to reverse, and the moving plate 26 drives the baffle 27 and the sealing gasket 28 to move downward, resealing the flow channel 22 and stopping the discharge of liquid magnesium. This allows for continued collection of liquid magnesium without the need for frequent manual operation, reducing human interference, improving production efficiency, and lowering the labor intensity and risk of operational errors for operators. It also effectively prevents liquid magnesium leakage and the entry of external impurities, ensuring the purity of the liquid magnesium. Furthermore, it helps maintain the stability of the internal pressure and temperature of the system, ensuring the safety and continuity of production.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a control platform 29 is provided on the right side of the front surface of the reaction tank body 1;
[0035] The control platform 29 enables automated collection of liquid magnesium, reducing human intervention and improving the intelligence of magnesium metal preparation.
[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
