This structure is used to convey electrolyte through the second liquid inlet pipe 1203; the second exhaust pipe 1202 is used for discharging the generated gas. Grooves are formed on the inner walls of the cathode chamber 1204 and the anode chamber 1104, a frame 1303 is arranged inside the grooves, and a diaphragm 1301 is arranged inside the frame 1303. This structure can separate the cathode chamber 1204 from the anode chamber 1104 through the diaphragm 1301. A sealing ring 1302 is arranged on one side of the frame 1303, and fixing bolts 1304 are connected between the frame 1303 and the anode chamber 1104. The sealing ring 1302 is filled between the groove of the frame 1303 and the anode chamber 1104. This structure can ensure the sealing performance of the installation between the frame 1303 and the anode chamber 1104 through the sealing ring 1302.
