[0001] The utility model relates to electrolytic hydrogen production technical field especially relates to a device for electrolytic hydrogen production of industrial wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] Industrial wastewater includes production wastewater, production sewage and cooling water, which refers to the wastewater and waste liquid generated in the industrial production process, containing industrial production materials, intermediate products, by-products and pollutants generated in the production process. Industrial wastewater can be made into hydrogen by electrolytic hydrogen production device, thereby obtaining more energy.

[0003] For the existing patent number CN116590727A, a kind of electrolytic device for hydrogen production of industrial wastewater is disclosed, including electrolytic cell, bifurcated pipe, sealing ring and sealing cover etc.;Electrolytic cell is equipped with feed pipe;Electrolytic cell is communicated with two bifurcated pipes;All bifurcated pipes are equipped with a sealing ring for preventing gas transfer to the outside at electrolytic cell connection;All bifurcated pipes are equipped with a sealing cover at electrolytic cell connection, and sealing cover is attached to electrolytic cell, and sealing cover is wrapped at bifurcated pipe and electrolytic cell connection. The hollow column is used in cooperation with the second collecting frame in the present application, to more efficiently collect the flocculation in the stirring barrel, avoid the influence of flocculation on the reaction of industrial wastewater and medicine. The deficiency of the device is that the water injection situation in electrolytic cell cannot be controlled in real time, when water level rises to a certain height, water surface will cover the two gas outlets of hydrogen gas pipeline and oxygen pipeline, so that hydrogen and oxygen cannot be discharged from the two hydrogen gas pipelines and oxygen pipelines, and there is also the possibility of water being guided out from the pipeline under the action of pressure difference, thereby affecting the collection of gas.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problem that the water level cannot be monitored, resulting in the inability to normally collect gas, an industrial wastewater electrolytic hydrogen production device can be designed. The contact between the annular copper sheet and the two groups of circular copper sheets causes the alarm circuit to close, thereby causing the alarm to emit an alarm signal, thereby stopping water injection, effectively preventing the wastewater from covering the gas discharge port, and facilitating the smooth progress of hydrogen production. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

This causes the alarm to activate, emitting a red light and a buzzer sound, prompting the operator to stop adding water to the electrolysis tank. The external controller controls the solenoid valve to stop the water injection pipe, preventing the water level from rising to a certain height and blocking the outlet ports of the hydrogen and oxygen collection pipes, thus preventing the collection of hydrogen and oxygen and potentially causing wastewater to be discharged. This provides the device with a liquid level alarm function, further enhancing the device's safety.

[0008] Preferably, a water injection pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the electrolysis tank, and a solenoid valve is installed inside the water injection pipe.

[0009] Preferably, when the alarm is activated, the alarm light turns red and the speaker emits a buzzing sound.

[0010] Preferably, a hydrogen-producing electrolysis column is installed inside the electrolysis tank, and the hydrogen-producing electrolysis column is the cathode.
