AI Technical Summary
Prolonged standing of foaming agents can cause them to separate into layers, affecting the stability of their performance.
Design a storage device for foaming agents. Through a rotating tube and vortex tube structure, nitrogen gas is used to float upwards in the form of bubbles, which in turn drives the bottom-layered foaming agents to float and mix. The rotating tube is rotated by a motor-driven gear system. Nitrogen gas is supplied by a nitrogen tank and a vaporizer to prevent stratification.
It effectively prevents foaming agent stratification, maintains the stability of the performance, and extends the life of the storage device through inert gas protection.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foaming agent technology, and in particular to a storage device for foaming agents. Background Technology
[0002] Foaming agents are substances that create pores in a material. They can be broadly classified into three categories: chemical foaming agents, physical foaming agents, and surfactants. Storage devices are required for storing liquid foaming agents. However, prolonged standing can cause the foaming agent to separate into layers, leading to a decline in its performance and unstable application. To avoid this, we propose a storage device for foaming agents. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where long-term standing of foaming agents can lead to stratification, decreased performance, and unstable application. Therefore, this invention proposes a storage device for foaming agents.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: Design a storage device for foaming agent, including a shell, a rotating tube rotatably connected to the shell via a sealed bearing, a vortex tube connected to the rotating tube, multiple air outlets on the lower surface of the vortex tube, the rotating tube rotating via a drive mechanism, a connecting pipe rotatably connected to the lower end of the rotating tube via a sealed bearing, a nitrogen supply mechanism on the connecting pipe, a shell cover fixedly connected to the upper end of the shell, an inlet valve connected to the shell cover, and an outlet valve connected to the lower end of the shell.
[0005] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a first gear, which is fixedly connected to the rotating tube. A base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing, and a motor is fixedly connected to the base. A rotating shaft is drivenly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a second gear is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft. The second gear meshes with the first gear.
[0006] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the housing, and the rotating shaft tube is rotatably connected to the protective cover through a bearing.
[0007] Preferably, the nitrogen supply mechanism includes a nitrogen tank, on which a vaporizer is connected, and the vaporizer is connected to a connecting pipe.
[0008] Preferably, a pressure reducing valve is provided on the connecting pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the cover is threaded with multiple bolts, which are threadedly connected to the cover.
[0010] The present invention provides a storage device for foaming agents, which has the following advantages: by introducing nitrogen gas, the nitrogen gas rises in the form of bubbles, bringing the bottom-layered foaming agent to the top for mixing, thereby avoiding the stratification of the foaming agent. At the same time, the nitrogen gas filling the shell can ensure the inert protection of the shell. Attached Figure Description

At the same time, the nitrogen filling inside the housing 1 can ensure the inertial protection of the housing 1. A pressure gauge is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. When the pressure is too high, the inlet valve 3 is opened to release part of the nitrogen and reduce the pressure.

At the same time, the valve on the nitrogen tank 5 is opened, and nitrogen enters the rotating tube 11 through the connecting pipe 8 and is discharged from the air outlet 12 on the vortex tube 9, bringing the bottom layered foaming agent into the upper part for mixing.
