[0025] The glue absorbing cotton block 55 comprises a support plate 551 and a cotton block body 552, the cotton block body 552 is fixed to one side of the support plate 551, one end of the liquid pipe 53 passes through the support plate 551 from the other side and extends into the cotton block body 552, and the support plate 551 and the cotton block body 552 are provided with a plurality of wire body channels which are mutually penetrated and can allow the core wire 7 to pass through.

[0026] The support plate 551 is further provided with a heating resistor, and the control box 4 is electrically connected with the glue absorbing cotton block 55.

[0028] The working process of the present application is as follows:

[0029] In the working process, the air in the inner cavity of the shell of the cover shell 1 is first sucked into the air cavity of the shunt cylinder 51 along the air pipe 52 and then is sucked out along the air pipe 2, so as to reduce the air between the core wire 7 and the sheath 8.

[0030] In addition, due to the suction of the air extractor 3, a vacuum environment is formed in the inner cavity of the shell of the shell 1, so that part of the glue flows into the inner mold core 65, and after solidification, the glue particles gradually adhere to the surface of the core wire 7 entering the extruder 6 subsequently, affecting the close connection of the core wire 7 and the sheath 8. Therefore, the application further provides the glue absorbing cotton block 55 in the inner mold core 65, which can absorb the glue liquid that enters the inner mold core 65 by mistake under the influence of air pressure, and can also wipe the moving core wire 7. Moreover, the glue liquid stored in the cotton block body 552 will also gradually flow into the liquid cavity of the shunt cylinder 51 along the liquid pipe 53 under the action of negative pressure. At the same time, the heating effect of the heating resistor can also prevent the glue liquid from solidifying into glue particles.

[0031] The application can form a vacuum environment by setting the shell with several jacks for the core wire to extend into the inner cavity of the shell and then enter the wire body inlet, cooperating with the air pipe connected to the air extractor, effectively removing the air between the core wire and the sheath, greatly improving the connection tightness of the core wire and the sheath, and being very suitable for the processing of submarine cables; by setting the shunt cylinder, air pipe, liquid pipe, screen and glue absorbing cotton block, the shunt cylinder is connected to the shell and the air pipe, which does not affect the vacuum extraction of the shell, and can also suck the glue liquid that enters the inner mold core by mistake under the influence of negative pressure and wipe the surface of the core wire, further improving the quality of the cable; by setting the support plate and the cotton block body to form the glue absorbing cotton block, setting the heating resistor in the support plate, and setting the side wing wrapping the glue absorbing cotton block on the edge of the support plate, the glue liquid can be effectively prevented from solidifying and forming glue particles.

[0032] The above embodiments are descriptions of the application, not limitations of the application, and any simple transformation of the application belongs to the protection scope of the application.
