[0023] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: The shampoo to be tested is poured into the storage tank 2. The valve 6 is opened to allow the shampoo in the storage tank 2 to flow out through the outlet 5. The shampoo flowing out of the storage tank 2 is collected by the measuring tank 3. A signal is emitted through the infrared transmitter 7. When the shampoo flows past the outlet 5, the infrared receiver 8 cannot receive the signal. When the shampoo has finished flowing, the infrared receiver 8 receives the signal, thus measuring the flow time of the shampoo. The volume of the shampoo in the measuring tank 3 is measured by the liquid level sensor 9. The measured values are displayed and recorded by the control panel 11. Finally, the computer calculates the consistency of the shampoo by combining the time and the volume of the shampoo. Tap water is connected through the second water pipe 43. Water is delivered from the second water pipe 43 to the first water pipe 42. Tap water is then delivered from the first water pipe 42 to the branch pipe 44, and then sprayed onto the inner wall of the water storage tank 2 through the nozzle 45 to rinse the inner wall of the water storage tank 2. The motor 46 drives the first bevel gear 461 to rotate, the first bevel gear 461 drives the second bevel gear 462 to rotate, the second bevel gear 462 drives the first water pipe 42 to rotate, the first water pipe 42 drives the branch pipe 44 to rotate, and in turn drives the nozzle 45 to rotate to spray, thoroughly rinsing the inner wall of the water storage tank 2.
