[0027] A temperature sensor 101 is mounted on one side of the anode plate 1 by screws, a diaphragm 102 is provided on the other side of the anode plate 1, a cathode plate 104 is provided on one side of the diaphragm 102, and a terminal lug 103 is provided on one side of the cathode plate 104;
[0028] An interface slot 201 is provided on the rear plate of the fixing box 2. An observation window 202 is glued to the bottom of the fixing box 2. A wire-releasing opening 203 is provided inside the observation window 202. A cover plate 207 is hingedly connected to the front of the fixing box 2. A mounting plate 206 is screwed to one side of the cover plate 207. A spring 205 is welded to one side of the mounting plate 206. A limit plate 204 is welded to one side of the spring 205.
[0029] One side of the soft silicone ring 3 is glued to the fixing nut of the hydrogen port 301 , and the inner hole groove of the hydrogen port 301 is fitted with a dust plug 302 .
[0030] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a hydrogen port 301 and a water port are installed on one side of the cathode plate 104, and an oxygen port is installed on one side of the anode plate 1, and a water port is installed vertically below the hydrogen port 301, and the size structure of the hydrogen port 301, the oxygen port and the water port are consistent; the function of the water port is to provide an inlet and outlet channel for the electrolyte for the electrolytic cell to maintain the stability of the concentration, temperature and liquid level of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and to ensure the normal progress of the electrolysis reaction. The hydrogen generated at the cathode is collected and discharged through specially designed pipes and connecting components. The function of these connections is to ensure that the hydrogen can be safely and effectively discharged from the electrolytic cell for subsequent processing, storage or use. The "oxygen plate" refers to the anode plate 1, then the anode plate 1 will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce oxygen, and the oxygen will also be discharged from the electrolytic cell through specific pipes and connection structures. The entire connection relationship and function are intended to achieve the smooth progress of the electrolysis reaction, effectively separate and collect the generated hydrogen and oxygen, and at the same time ensure the safety and stability of the electrolysis process.
[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the inner ring diameter of the soft silicone ring 3 is consistent with the outer structural size of the hydrogen port 301, and the inner hole diameter of the hydrogen port 301 is consistent with the outer structural size of the dust plug 302; an extended soft silicone ring 3 is set on the outer wall of the oxygen port, water port and hydrogen port 301, and a dust plug 302 is configured inside. The soft silicone material can fit tightly around the interface, enhance the sealing of the interface, and prevent gas or liquid leakage. When the electrolytic cell is not in use, the dust plug 302 can effectively block dust, impurities and moisture from entering the port, keep the interior clean and dry, and avoid adverse effects on the electrolysis process.
[0032] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cathode plate 104, the anode plate 1 and the diaphragm 102 are arranged horizontally, and the anode plate 1 and the cathode plate 104 are respectively installed with a terminal 103, and the anode plate 1 is made of titanium-based precious metal oxide coated material, the cathode plate 104 is made of stainless steel or nickel, and the diaphragm 102 is made of perfluorosulfonic acid resin; the cathode plate 104 undergoes a reduction reaction. During the electrolysis process, the cathode plate 104 is an electron acceptor, and the cations in the solution obtain electrons and are reduced. For example, during water electrolysis, hydrogen ions obtain electrons at the cathode to generate hydrogen, and the anode plate 1 undergoes an oxidation reaction, and the anode plate 1 loses electrons. The anions in the solution lose electrons and are oxidized here. For example, in water electrolysis, hydroxide ions lose electrons at the anode to generate oxygen. The diaphragm 102 separates the anode and cathode areas to prevent direct mixing of the cathode and anode electrolytes and maintain their respective chemical environments. The cathode plate 104 and the anode plate 1 are located on both sides of the electrolytic cell, respectively. The diaphragm 102 is installed between them, dividing the electrolytic cell into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber. The electrolyte fills the cathode chamber and the anode chamber respectively. Under the action of an external power supply, the current passes through the anode plate 1, the electrolyte, the diaphragm 102, the electrolyte, and finally reaches the cathode plate 104, thereby realizing the electrolysis process.
[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the opening diameter of one side of the fixed box 2 is consistent with the external structural dimensions of one side of the cover 207, and the internal diameter of the fixed box 2 is consistent with the external structural dimensions of the observation window 202; the fixed box 2 is consistent in size with the cover 207, and an observation window 202 is provided on the surface wall for observing the internal situation. The fixed box 2 can prevent the operator from accidentally contacting the live parts or high-temperature surfaces of the electrolytic cell, reducing the risk of electric shock and burns, and can also protect the electrolytic cell from impact, scratches and damage by external objects, extending the service life of the electrolytic cell, while reducing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the electrolytic cell, reducing the adverse effects on the electrolytic reaction and equipment performance.
[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the limit plate 204 forms an elastic structure through the spring 205 and the mounting plate 206; the mounting plate 206, the spring 205 and the limit plate 204 are installed on one side of the cover plate 207. When the cover plate 207 is closed, the spring 205 and the limit plate 204 can play a buffering role, reduce the impact force, and reduce the risk of damage to the cover plate 207 and the electrolytic cell due to collision. If there are certain dimensional tolerances in the manufacture of the cover plate 207 or the electrolytic cell, the elasticity of the spring 205 can make up for these tolerances to ensure that the cover plate 207 can function effectively.
[0035] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a rectangular hole groove is provided inside the observation window 202, and a circular hole groove is provided inside the fixing box 2, and the diameter of the circular hole groove of the fixing box 2 is consistent with the external structural size of the soft leather silicone ring 3; the fixing box 2 and the cover plate 207 are both provided with circular hole grooves for placing the oxygen port, water port and hydrogen port 301 respectively. An observation window 202 is provided on the surface of the fixing box 2 for convenient viewing of the internal situation.
[0036] The use method and advantages of the utility model: When the electrolytic cell with protective function is used, the working process is as follows:
[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, first remove the screws of the observation window 202 on one side to facilitate the alignment of the electrolytic cell with the wire-releasing port 203 and the interface slot 201, align the terminal lug 103 with the wire-releasing port 203, and align the oxygen port, hydrogen port 301 and water port with the interface slot 201. After alignment, turn the screws to install the plate of the observation window 202, the fixing box 2 is fitted with the cover plate 207, the limit plate 204 connected by the spring 205 is fitted to the anode plate 1, and the contact surface of the cover plate 207 and the fixing box 2 is fixed by a magnetic sheet. The cathode plate 104 and the anode plate 1 are respectively located on both sides of the electrolytic cell, and the diaphragm 102 is installed between them, dividing the electrolytic cell into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber. The electrolyte fills the cathode chamber and the anode chamber respectively. Under the action of the external power supply, the current passes through the anode plate 1, the electrolyte, the diaphragm 102, and the electrolyte.
