wherein:

before the slurry enters the tank body, the cleaning column ring is located in a first region of the magnetic bar;

after the slurry enters the tank body, the slurry covers a second region of the tank body, the first region is closer to a first end of the tank body than the second region, the second region is closer to a second end of the tank body than the first region, the second end is opposite to the first end, and the first region and the second region do not overlap;

after the slurry is discharged from the tank body, the cleaning column ring moves into the second region along the axial direction of the magnetic bar to clean the tank body and the magnetic bar; and

the tank body is provided with a slurry inlet and a slurry outlet, the slurry inlet is located at a first end of the second region closer to the first region than a second end of the second region, the slurry outlet is located the second end of the second region, the slurry inlet is configured to introduce the slurry into the tank body, and the slurry outlet is configured to discharge the slurry from the tank body.

2. The slurry iron remover according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning column ring comprises:

a column ring body;

an inner scraping diaphragm disposed on an inner surface of the column ring body and fitted to the outer surface of the magnetic bar, wherein the inner scraping diaphragm is configured to clean the magnetic bar; and

an outer scraping diaphragm disposed on an outer surface of the column ring body and fitted to the inner surface of the tank body, wherein the outer scraping diaphragm is configured to clean the tank body.

3. The slurry iron remover according to claim 2 , wherein the inner scraping diaphragm and the outer scraping diaphragm are each in a sheet-shaped circular ring structure.

4. The slurry iron remover according to claim 2 , wherein the inner scraping diaphragm is one of a plurality of inner scraping diaphragms of the cleaning column ring and the outer scraping diaphragm is one of a plurality of outer scraping diaphragms of the cleaning column ring, and the plurality of inner scraping diaphragms and the plurality of outer scraping diaphragms are distributed along the axial direction of the magnetic bar.

5. The slurry iron remover according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the cleaning column ring is provided with a first restraint structure, the inner surface of the tank body is provided with a second restraint structure, and the first restraint structure and the second restraint structure are configured to fix the cleaning column ring to the first region of the magnetic bar.

6. The slurry iron remover according to claim 5 , wherein the first restraint structure comprises a restraint groove, the second restraint structure comprises a restraint block, and the restraint block snaps into the restraint groove to fix the cleaning column ring to the first region of the magnetic bar.

7. The slurry iron remover according to claim 6 , wherein the restraint block moves out of the restraint groove so that the cleaning column ring moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar.

8. The slurry iron remover according to claim 5 , wherein the second restraint structure further comprises a rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism is configured to rotate the restraint block so that the restraint block snaps into or moves out of the restraint groove.

9. The slurry iron remover according to claim 1 , wherein the first end of the tank body is provided with a first air inlet, the second end of the tank body is provided with a sewage outlet, and the first air inlet and the sewage outlet are opened to allow the cleaning column ring to move toward the second end.

10. The slurry iron remover according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a sewage tank, wherein the sewage tank is connected to the sewage outlet, and the sewage tank is configured to collect cleaning materials of the cleaning column ring.

11. The slurry iron remover according to claim 10 , wherein a first breather is disposed on the sewage tank, and the first breather is configured to absorb gas in the sewage tank.

12. The slurry iron remover according to claim 9 , wherein the second end of the tank body is further provided with a second air inlet, the first end of the tank body is further provided with an air outlet, and the second air inlet and the air outlet are opened to allow the cleaning column ring to move toward the first end.

13. The slurry iron remover according to claim 12 , wherein a second breather is disposed on the air outlet, and the second breather is configured to absorb gas from the air outlet.
