[0032] See also Figures 1 to 6The utility model provides a kettle-type foaming device with a built-in fan to promote the circulation of supercritical fluid, comprising a foaming kettle 1, a motor 3 is fixedly arranged in the middle of one end of the foaming kettle 1, a fan blade 2 is coaxially fixedly arranged on the motor shaft of the motor 3, and the motor 3 and the fan blade 2 are both arranged inside the foaming kettle 1;

[0033] A sealing component 4 is fixedly arranged at the middle of one end of the foaming kettle 1 , and a cable 5 of the motor 3 passes through the sealing component 4 .

[0034] The sealing assembly 4 includes a T-shaped flange 401, and a circular plate-shaped flange end cover 402 is detachably provided on the flange plate of the T-shaped flange 401;

[0035] A cylindrical neck is fixedly arranged in the middle of one side of the flange, a thread is arranged on the outer wall of the neck, a nut 408 is threadedly connected to the thread, and the nut 408 is located inside the foaming kettle 1;

[0036] A threading hole is provided in the middle of the T-shaped flange 401, and the cable 5 of the motor 3 passes through the threading hole;

[0037] One end of the threading hole close to the flange end cover 402 is in a bell-mouth shape;

[0039] A wire hole is provided in the middle of the conical sealing plug 404 , and the diameter of the wire hole corresponds to the cable 5 .

[0040] The conical sealing plug 404 is made of rubber.

[0041] The size of the conical sealing plug 404 is slightly larger than the size of the bell mouth. After the flange end cover 402 is covered, it is tightened with bolts 403. The conical sealing plug 404 is compressed into the bell mouth under pressure. The diameter of the wire hole of the conical sealing plug 404 will become smaller as the conical sealing plug 404 is compressed, and a sealing structure is formed by relying on the pressure on the surface of the cable 5.

[0042] An annular upper gasket 406 and a lower gasket 407 are arranged on the neck of the T-shaped flange 401 . The upper gasket 406 is located between the flange and the foaming kettle 1 , and the lower gasket 407 is located between the nut 408 and the foaming kettle 1 .

[0043] A plurality of threaded holes are formed on the circumference of the flange plate, and a plurality of mounting holes are formed on the circumference of the flange end cover 402. The mounting holes correspond to the threaded holes, and the flange end cover 402 is threadedly connected to the threaded holes by fastening bolts 403 penetrating the mounting holes.

After the insulating glue 405 is cured, the gap between the threading hole and the cable 5 is filled to make the threading hole airtight.

[0048] During the use of the foaming kettle 1, the most important thing is to ensure that the gas cannot escape from the gap in the foaming kettle 1 along the cable 5. Through the sealing component 4, the implementation method of the sealing component is to open a hole in the kettle body 1, pass the T-shaped flange 401 through the hole, and then use the nut 408 to fasten the T-shaped flange 401 to the foaming kettle 1, and the cable 5 passes through the threading hole of the T-shaped flange 401, fill the threading hole with insulating glue 405, and then cure it at low temperature, and the threading hole of the T-shaped flange 401 is blocked.

The conical sealing plug 404 is compressed into the bell mouth under pressure, and the diameter of the wire hole of the conical sealing plug 404 will become smaller as the conical sealing plug 404 is compressed. The interface friction force is used to form a second guarantee for the airtightness of the threading hole.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
