Illustration of Mobile Toilet Foaming Device

Admin October 11, 2026

Currently, there is no publicly available detailed illustration of the foaming device for mobile toilets, but a structured analysis can be conducted through its core components and working principles, as follows:

I. Core System Components

  1. Foaming Device Main Body

    • Liquid Tank: Stores concentrated foaming liquid, typically made of corrosion-resistant materials (such as PE plastic), with a capacity designed to be 10-50L based on usage frequency, equipped with a liquid level sensor for automatic replenishment.
    • Air Pump: Mixes the foaming liquid with air through compressed air (pressure 0.2-0.5MPa), with key parameters including flow rate (5-15L/min) and power (100-300W), requiring matching with foam generation efficiency.
    • Control System: Utilizes PLC or a single-chip microcomputer for precise control, allowing adjustment of the mixing ratio of foaming liquid to water (usually 1:50-1:100), and integrating fault alarm functions.
  2. Mixing Unit

    • Static Mixer: Ensures thorough mixing of the foaming liquid and water through spiral baffles, ensuring foam uniformity, with mixing time controlled within 3-5 seconds.
    • Air Injection Valve: Uses a solenoid valve to control air flow, cooperating with a pressure regulator to stabilize foam density (density range 0.02-0.05g/cm³).
  3. Conveying and Covering System

    • Foam Conveying Pipeline: Made of PVC or stainless steel, with a diameter of 15-25mm, conveying foam to the toilet through a peristaltic pump or gravity flow, with conveying speed matching foam generation speed.
    • Weighted Baffle: Installed above the sewage outlet, forming a dynamic seal through gravity to reduce foam loss (baffle angle usually 45°-60°).

II. Working Mechanism

  1. Trigger Phase

    • After an infrared sensor or foot switch detects that the user has left, the system initiates the foaming program, with an adjustable delay time (usually 2-5 seconds).
  2. Foam Generation and Conveyance

    • The air pump injects compressed air into the liquid tank, and the foaming liquid is mixed with water in proportion through the mixing unit, generating fine foam through a microporous foamer (pore size 0.1-0.3mm).
    • The foam is pumped through the conveying pipeline to the surface of the toilet, requiring coverage of over 90% of the inner wall of the toilet and forming a 3-5mm thick sealing layer.
  3. Odor Prevention and Maintenance

    • The foam sealing layer effectively blocks odor diffusion while reducing sewage splashing.
    • When the sewage tank is full, the intelligent control system triggers an alarm through a liquid level sensor, prompting cleanup (full capacity usually 200-500L).

III. Key Design Optimizations

  • Low-Temperature Adaptation: In northern regions, the liquid tank needs to be equipped with an electric heating tape (power 50-100W) or ethylene glycol antifreeze (concentration 20%-30%) to ensure normal foaming at an ambient temperature of -20°C.
  • Energy-Saving Mode: Reduces energy consumption through a timed foaming function (such as automatically replenishing foam every 30 minutes), with single foaming energy consumption controlled within 0.1kW·h.
