The top of the hydrogen storage tank 6 is sealed with a hydrogen delivery pipe 11, and the end of the hydrogen delivery pipe 11 is sealed with the interior of the hydrogen production tank 5. The generated hydrogen can be transported to the hydrogen storage tank 6 for storage through the hydrogen delivery pipe 11. The right side of the outer wall of the hydrogen storage tank 6 is sealed with a hydrogen discharge pipe 4, and one end of the hydrogen discharge pipe 4 extends to the outside of the device box 1. The hydrogen discharge pipe 4 is used to discharge hydrogen for subsequent use, and the hydrogen discharge pipe 4 is also provided with a control valve.

[0026] An explosion-proof component is provided on the upper surface of the device box 1 to prevent the hydrogen production tank 5 from leaking and causing the risk of explosion. The explosion-proof component is connected to the inside of the device box 1. A hydrogen detector 17 is provided at the upper right end of the inner wall of the device box 1. The explosion-proof component includes a negative pressure tank 14, a suction pump 15 and an electric control valve 16. The negative pressure tank 14 is fixed on the upper surface of the device box 1, and carbon dioxide gas is provided inside the negative pressure tank 14.
