[0017] In the electrolysis circuit with switching electrodes, the first and second electrodes are placed in the electrolytic cell, and electrolysis is achieved by passing direct current of different polarities through the first and second electrodes.

This avoids the problem of scale formation caused by a single electrode using direct current of the same polarity for a long time.
[0018] Preferably, the relay assembly includes a first relay JK1, one end of the coil of the first relay JK1 is electrically connected to the reverse polarity control output terminal of the MCU, and the other end of the coil of the first relay JK1 is electrically connected to the input terminal VCC of the constant current source module.

[0022] Specifically, the constant current source module includes a controllable constant current chip U2. The output terminal VCC of the switching power supply is electrically connected to the power input terminal VIN of the controllable constant current chip U2 and the first terminal of the sampling resistor, respectively. The second terminal of the sampling resistor is electrically connected to the current detection terminal CSN of the controllable constant current chip U2 and the first terminal of the capacitor C7, respectively. The drive output terminal DRV of the controllable constant current chip U2 is electrically connected to the gate of the field-effect transistor MOS1. The source of the field-effect transistor MOS1 is grounded. The drain of the field-effect transistor MOS1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the inductor L1 and the anode of the diode D1. The second terminal of the inductor L1 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor C7.

[0026] The current detection module, together with resistor R15, is used to detect the real-time current of the electrolysis reaction and feeds it back to the current acquisition input terminal AN_OUT of the MCU. When the real-time current of the electrolysis reaction deviates from the set value, the MCU adjusts the power through the power adjustment signal output terminal Iadj_PWM port and outputs it to the controllable constant current chip U2, thereby forming a closed-loop control.
