- the plate body having the cathode chamber in the central portion in the thickness direction of the partition wall main body means that the plate-shaped front side portion is on the front side in the thickness direction of the plate shape, the plate-like back side portion is on the back side, and the peripheral edge is in the center. It means that it consists of a central part with a cathode chamber that spreads out thinly.
- the cathode chamber is usually used under reduced pressure, and pressure such as atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface side of the plate-like front side portion and the plate-like back side portion so that the plate-like front side portion and the plate-like back side portion protrude toward the cathode chamber side. That is, the cathode chamber is deformed so as to be crushed.
- the cathode chamber can be formed into a plurality of tunnel-like spaces that run parallel to each other at intervals, or struts can be provided at predetermined intervals between the plate-like front side portion and the plate-like back side portion.
- the plate-like front side and the plate-like back side of the bulkhead body function as a bulkhead that allows sodium ions to pass through. Accordingly, both the surface of the plate-like front side portion and the back surface of the plate-like back side portion of the partition wall body function as the partition surface. For this reason, the partition body according to the present invention has a partition function surface that is twice as large as that of the plate-shaped partition without the cathode chamber.

More than double.
- the thickness of the wall through which sodium ions permeate is the normal partition wall thickness
- the thickness of the partition wall main body is twice or more the thickness of the normal partition wall. That is, since the partition wall body is twice or more thick, it has a strength that can withstand bending stress and mechanical stress, for example, bending stress that is at least four times that of a normal plate-shaped partition wall.

- the head is attached to the anode container with a cylindrical joint of the anode container, and the partition body is held by the anode container through the head. For this reason, the movement of the anode container is transmitted to the partition body through the head, and a large stress acts on the head and the boundary between the head and the partition body. For this reason, the boundary between the head and the bulkhead body must be large and strong enough to withstand stress.
- this bulkhead body is large and strong with a thickness more than twice that of a normal plate-shaped bulkhead, so that the head can be made relatively large, and the boundary between the head and the bulkhead body. It can withstand stress on the part.
- the head can have a nipple shape composed of a convex portion having a shaft hole.
- the joint portion may have a cap shape having an opening for exposing a peripheral portion including the shaft hole of the head portion and covering the nipple-shaped head portion.

It is intended to block the movement of gas and liquid such as moisture between the interior and the outside.
- the outer peripheral surface of the nipple-shaped head has at least one ring groove that makes one round of the outer peripheral surface that also serves as a reservoir for leaking gas. Further, in order to facilitate joining with the cap-like joining portion, it is preferable to perform metallizing such as nickel spraying on the outer peripheral surface of the nipple-like head.

- the through hole is preferably coaxial with the outer peripheral surface as an axial hole.
- a thin metal fitting made of a metal thin tube through which molten sodium flows is inserted into and joined to this through hole, and the cylindrical nipple head has a cap shape attached to the outer peripheral surface of the thin metal fitting inserted into the through hole. It functions as an insulator that electrically insulates the joint.
- the seal surface is preferably the outer peripheral surface of a thin tube fitting having the same outer diameter as the inner peripheral surface of the through hole having a diameter of about 2 to 5 mm, and the sealing is further facilitated by reducing the seal diameter.
- the head is a two-step mountain head having a top surface with a shaft hole and an upper step and a lower step having a ring-shaped surface
- the joint is a ring-shaped joint having a ring-shaped portion.
- a ring-shaped surface below the ring-shaped portion of the ring-shaped joint portion of the anode container is attached to the lower ring-shaped step surface of the two-step mountain-shaped head.
