When facing different repair objects, the number of chambers in the electrode tube 100 can be changed, but at least the repair chamber 130 is included.

[0053] In this embodiment, the filter and the fixing buckle 140 separate the electrolyte chamber 110, the clay chamber 120 and the repair chamber 130. The repair chamber 130 and the support leg 160 are separated by the cover 150. The filter and the fixing buckle 140 prevent particles of soft clay 121 from entering the repair chamber; the nano-adsorbent material 170 can be set inside or on the top of the repair chamber 130 as needed; the electrode 200 is placed in the electrolyte chamber 110 and connected to the DC power supply 300 via the wire 400 to form a closed repair system.
