When the electrolytic cell 100 is not in operation, the support frame is used as a support for the static storage of the electrolytic cell 100. When the electrolytic cell 100 needs to be moved, the electrolytic cell 100 and the support frame can be moved together as a whole. After the transfer, there is no need to rearrange the support structure, which greatly improves the convenience of moving the electrolytic cell 100 and installing it after the transfer, and reduces time and labor costs.
