[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-6. A novel integrated electrolytic hydrogen production reactor includes a tank 1; a diaphragm 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the tank 1; two sets of first through slots 14 symmetrically distributed about the diaphragm 11 are opened at the top of the tank 1; mounting plates 15 are bolted to the first through slots 14; an anode plate 12 is fixedly connected below the set of mounting plates 15 on one side of the diaphragm 11, and a cathode plate 13 is fixedly connected below the set of mounting plates 15 on the other side of the diaphragm 11; a first gas outlet pipe 16 and a second gas outlet pipe 17 are opened on the side wall of the tank 1; the first gas outlet pipe 16 and the second gas outlet pipe 17 are symmetrically distributed about the diaphragm 11; a liquid inlet pipe 18 is opened on one side of the tank 1, and a liquid outlet pipe 19 is opened on the other side; a defoaming component is provided inside the tank 1; in the prior art, when electrolyzing sodium chloride to produce hydrogen, electrolysis is generally carried out through a cathode plate 13 and an anode plate 12. The reaction produces hydrogen gas. However, during electrolysis, bubbles accumulate on the surfaces of the cathode and anode plates 12 as gas is generated, affecting the electrolysis efficiency of sodium chloride. Incomplete electrolysis also leads to increased gas impurities. Therefore, this invention utilizes a defoaming device to agitate the electrolyte during electrolysis, creating turbulent flow. This flow removes bubbles from the surfaces of the cathode and anode plates 13 and 12. Simultaneously, the rotating water flow destabilizes the liquid within the tank 1, causing the bubbles to burst and the gas to be released. This ensures the electrolysis efficiency of the cathode and anode plates 13 and guarantees stable gas output, further preventing impurity generation. The electrolyte level is below that of the first and second outlet pipes 16 and 17.
[0033] The defoaming component includes a rotating shaft 2; a pair of rotating shafts 2 are provided on both sides of the cathode plate 13 or the anode plate 12, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the tank 1 and extends out of the tank 1; a set of stirring plates 21 are fixedly connected to each rotating shaft 2; the rotating shaft 2 is rotated by a power unit;
[0034] The power unit includes a servo motor 24; the bottom end of the rotating shaft 2 extends into the outside of the tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a first gear 22; the bottom end of the tank 1 is rotatably connected to two sets of second gears 23 symmetrically distributed about the diaphragm 11, one set of second gears 23 and one set of first gears 22 mesh with each other, wherein the first gears 22 are distributed around the second gears 23; a cover plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tank 1; a pair of servo motors 24 symmetrically distributed about the diaphragm 11 are fixedly connected inside the cover plate, and the output end of the servo motors 24 meshes with the second gears 23;
[0035] When in operation, the servo motor 24 drives the second gear 23 to rotate. Because the first gear 22 and the second gear 23 mesh with each other, they drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. Then, by using the setting of the stirring plate 21, the water flow is in a flowing and turbulent state.
[0036] A set of push plates 3 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the tank 1; the position of the push plates 3 corresponds to the position of the rotating shaft 2; a support column 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plates 3; a vibrating ball 32 is fixedly connected to the support column 31; the push plates 3 move back and forth through a circulating component;
[0037] The circulation component includes an L-shaped column 34; the push plate 3 has a sliding groove 33; the top end of the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped column 34, and the top end of the L-shaped column 34 slides in the sliding groove 33.
[0038] During operation, the rotating shaft 2 rotates, which drives the L-shaped shaft to rotate. As the L-shaped column 34 slides in the sliding groove 33, the push plate 3 moves back and forth, which in turn pushes the support column 31 and the vibrating ball 32 to collide with the cathode plate 13 and the anode plate 12, using the vibration force to make the bubbles quickly detach.
[0039] The support column 31 includes a first fixed column 4 and a sliding column 42; the first fixed column 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate 3; a first groove 41 is provided at the end of the first fixed column 4; the sliding column 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first groove 41 by a spring; during operation, to avoid rigid collision between the vibrating ball 32 and the cathode plate 13 or anode plate 12, the first fixed column 4 and the sliding column 42 are provided to allow the vibrating ball 32 to elastically impact the cathode plate 13 or anode plate 12.
[0040] The top view of the stirring plate 21 is arc-shaped;
[0041] The bottom of the tank 1 is equipped with detachable casters 43; lifting handles 44 are fixed to both side walls of the tank 1; during operation, the arc-shaped arrangement of the stirring plate 21 increases the flow of water, and the detachable casters 43 facilitate the movement of the tank 1.
[0042] Working principle: During electrolysis, the defoaming element agitates the electrolyte, creating turbulent flow. This turbulent flow causes air bubbles on the surfaces of the cathode plate 13 and anode plate 12 to detach from them. Simultaneously, the rotating water flow destabilizes the liquid within the tank 1, causing the bubbles to burst and releasing gas. This ensures the electrolysis efficiency of the cathode plate 13 and anode plate 12, maintains stable gas output, and further prevents impurity generation. The electrolyte level is lower than the first gas outlet. Positions of pipe 16 and second air outlet pipe 17; when the servo motor 24 is working, it will drive the second gear 23 to rotate. Because the first gear 22 and the second gear 23 mesh with each other, they will drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. Then, by using the setting of the stirring plate 21, the water flow is in a flowing and turbulent state. The rotation of the rotating shaft 2 will drive the L-shaped shaft to rotate. Then, because the L-shaped column 34 slides in the sliding groove 33, the push plate 3 moves back and forth, which will push the support column 31 and the vibrating ball 32 to collide with the cathode plate 13 and the anode plate 12. The vibration force will make the bubbles quickly detach.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
