The top of the rotating seat 43 is provided with first sealing grooves that match the bottom of the sealing cylinder 473, near the outer side of the array of water suction cylinders 45 and activated carbon mesh cylinders 46.

[0028] The main difference between the second implementation method and the first implementation method is that:
[0029] The second sealing component 5 includes a slide rod 52 that is vertically slidably connected to the middle of the bottom of the housing 1. A traction frame 53 that is slidably connected to the inside of the housing 1 is installed on the top of the slide rod 52.

[0031] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.
[0032] In use, the user fixes and connects the front air inlet pipe 2 of the housing 1 to the exhaust end of the hydrogen generator, and connects the rear exhaust pipe 3 of the housing 1 to the external hydrogen recovery end. After the hydrogen generator produces hydrogen, the hydrogen is discharged to the recovery end through the air inlet pipe 2, air inlet groove, water suction cylinder 45, air pipe 44, activated carbon mesh cylinder 46, exhaust groove, and exhaust pipe 3. During this process, the water suction cylinder 45 absorbs moisture from the hydrogen, and the activated carbon mesh cylinder 46 adsorbs odors from the gas, thus achieving purification. When it is necessary to replace the activated carbon mesh cylinder 46 and the water suction cylinder 45, the hydrogen generator and its exhaust valve on the exhaust side are temporarily closed, and the air inlet valve of the hydrogen recovery end is closed.

The height of the slide rod 52, the traction frame 53, and the two sets of sealing rings 54 are adjusted by the second cylinder 51 to separate the two sets of sealing rings 54 from the lower side of the rotating seat 43. The angle of the rotating seat 43 is adjusted by the motor 42, so that the water suction tube 45 and the activated carbon mesh tube 46 that have not been dried and purified are moved to the upper end of the air inlet and exhaust grooves, respectively. The two sets of sealing tubes 473 and the two sets of sealing rings 54 seal the upper and lower sides of the replaced water suction tube 45 and activated carbon mesh tube 46. Hydrogen is reintroduced into the device for drying and purification, and the previously used water suction tube 45 and activated carbon mesh tube 46 are replaced.
