[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through specific embodiments.
[0024] refer to Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a foam testing device for a film removal liquid, comprising a device body 1, a built-in air pump 2, a transparent graduated cylinder 3, and a replaceable air outlet 4 at the bottom.
[0025] The device body 1 of this embodiment includes a base and a glass tube fixedly connected to the base; a built-in air pump 2 is installed inside the base; the built-in air pump 2 is connected to the air inlet on the base through an air inlet pipe and to the air outlet on the base through an air outlet pipe; it is responsible for pumping air into the device.
[0026] In this embodiment, a heating device 5 and a temperature sensing device 6 are installed on the base of the device body 1; a water bath heating device 7 is installed on the glass tube of the device body 1; a gas flow regulating knob 8 for adjusting the built-in air pump is also provided on the base of the device body 1 to adjust the gas flow rate in order to more accurately simulate the generation of foam during the production process. The heating device 5 surrounds the outside of the device body 1 and is used to heat the liquid inside the device.
[0027] In this embodiment, the transparent graduated measuring cylinder 3 is placed vertically inside the device to contain liquid and observe changes in foam height, allowing for accurate reading of these changes. A replaceable bottom vent 4 is located at the center of the bottom of the transparent graduated measuring cylinder 3. The transparent graduated measuring cylinder 3 is placed inside the device body 1, and the replaceable bottom vent 4 is connected to the vent on the base of the device body 1.
[0028] The replaceable air outlet 4 at the bottom includes a base plate 41 and several air holes 42 disposed on the base plate 41. A specially designed air inlet is located at the center of the bottom of the transparent graduated measuring cylinder 3, connected to an air pump, for introducing gas into the transparent graduated measuring cylinder 3 to form foam. To simulate the actual spraying conditions on a production line, the air outlet is designed in various specifications, with an adjustable aperture from 100-1000 μm, and the arrangement of the holes can be circular or linear, etc., which can be adjusted as needed.
[0029] The transparent graduated measuring cylinder 3 has an air inlet 31 at its bottom; an air duct 32 is provided outside the air inlet; and a replaceable bottom air outlet 4 is installed on the air duct via a slot 33.
[0030] A slot 33 is provided on the air duct; a claw 34 is provided on the side wall of the slot 33; a hole 35 is provided on the side wall of the bottom replaceable air outlet 4; the claw 34 is installed in the space of the side wall of the slot 33 by a telescopic spring 36; the claw 34 has a conical structure.
[0031] In this embodiment, the jaw 34 has a conical structure. Under pressure, the jaw of the conical structure is squeezed into the space of the side wall of the slot 33.
[0032] Adjustment options for the bottom vent in this embodiment:
[0033] 1. Pore size: The pore size can be adjusted from 100 micrometers to 1000 micrometers. Smaller pore sizes result in more uniform gas flow, while larger pore sizes lead to uneven gas distribution, which in turn affects foam formation and stability.
[0034] 2. Arrangement: The gas outlets can be arranged in a circular or linear pattern. A circular arrangement helps the gas diffuse evenly throughout the device, while a linear arrangement is used when directional gas flow is required.
[0035] 3. Number of holes: The number of holes can also be adjusted according to experimental needs. More holes mean a larger gas flow area and a faster foam generation rate.

[0037] How to use the testing device in this embodiment:
[0038] 1. Select a suitable vent;
[0039] 2. Adding liquid: Add an appropriate amount of the liquid to be tested to the glass tube. Be careful to control the amount of liquid added to prevent excessive liquid addition and foam overflow.
[0040] 3. Start-up: Plug in the power cord, turn on the power switch, and start introducing gas; observe whether foam is generated in the liquid inside the glass tube, record the maximum height of the foam rise, and the change in foam height over time;
[0041] 4. Stop: After the test is completed, turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.
