The latter can simultaneously introduce and discharge a plurality of stainless steel wires between the pair of conductive rollers 100 to perform electrolysis, which needs to be matched with a relatively long or multiple electrolytic cell units to be completed.

[0035] The electrolytic cell unit 200 comprises an upper tank plate 1 and a lower tank plate 2 which are tightly buckled together, a plurality of wire passing grooves 3 are formed on the buckling surfaces of the two plates, the wire passing grooves 3 are in intercommunication structure, and isolation pads 31 and support pads 32 are correspondingly embedded at the ends of the wire passing grooves 3 and between the grooves, the isolation pads 31 and the support pads 32 are made of insulating materials and can support and suspend the passing stainless steel wire 6 between the wire passing grooves 3, so as to avoid short circuit caused by contact with the wire passing grooves 3.

[0036] The upper tank plate 1 is provided with a water overflow pipe 11 and an exhaust pipe 12, the pipe opening position of the exhaust pipe 12 is higher than that of the water overflow pipe 11, which not only ensures smooth exhaust, but also avoids taking out the electrolyte, further, the exhaust pipe 12 is directly connected to the wire passing groove 3, and a plurality of vertical exhaust pipes 12 are uniformly distributed on each wire passing groove 3, so as to complete exhaust as soon as possible.

The stainless steel wire 6 winding between the conductive rollers 100 corresponds to passing through the upper and lower electrolytic cell units 200, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency. Similarly, the length of the electrolytic cell unit 200 can be lengthened, or two or more pairs of upper and lower electrolytic cell units 200 can be connected in series to form a series electrolysis structure, thereby satisfying the combination of different wiring speeds and bringing convenience to specific site design.
