Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of asphalt paving segregation detection technology, specifically relating to an asphalt temperature segregation detection method, system and device. Background Technology

[0002] Temperature segregation is one of the important reasons for the decline in road construction quality. Due to its complex distribution and indistinguishability to the naked eye, the detection and location of temperature segregation are becoming increasingly important.

[0003] Traditional methods for detecting asphalt temperature segregation mainly include the following two types: One is the mercury thermometer method. This method has advantages such as simple structure and low cost, but its measurement time is as long as tens of seconds, the response speed is slow, and the temperature reading is subject to human error. It also poses certain dangers and can easily cause harm to the human body. Therefore, it is usually used as an instrument for on-site monitoring. The other is the thermocouple digital display thermometer method. The thermocouple digital display thermometer mainly consists of two parts: a measuring end and a reference end. When there is a temperature difference between the two ends, a current is generated in the circuit. Since the magnitude of the current is related to the temperature difference between the two ends, the temperature of the measuring end can be determined based on the temperature difference. However, this method suffers from rapid material consumption, and the temperature of the reference end cannot be kept constant, which affects the measurement accuracy.

[0004] With the development of infrared imaging technology, temperature measurement methods based on infrared thermal imagers have been increasingly used in various non-destructive testing fields. Infrared thermal imaging technology, with its numerous advantages such as non-contact temperature measurement, small instrument size, weak environmental influence, and fast response speed, has been gradually applied in highway construction, primarily for temperature detection of hot-mix asphalt to detect temperature segregation during asphalt paving. However, in actual engineering applications, the infrared image of asphalt is affected by the complex texture of the asphalt pavement, resulting in a highly dispersed temperature distribution. Therefore, commonly used asphalt temperature segregation detection methods can only detect temperature segregation phenomena existing in small areas. Furthermore, since existing detection methods are usually based on data fitting, they require extensive data post-processing and cannot achieve real-time detection during asphalt paving, thus failing to suppress asphalt temperature segregation at its source.

[0005] In summary, while infrared thermal imaging-based asphalt temperature segregation detection methods can address the limitations of traditional methods, such as "point measurement" and "high risk," the results are typically localized and discontinuous. They cannot provide real-time measurement of pavement temperature during asphalt paving or accurately pinpoint areas of temperature segregation. Therefore, researching methods to improve the precision and online capabilities of asphalt temperature segregation detection is crucial for extending road life and protecting driving safety.

Based on the physical parameters of the asphalt mixture, the temperature difference threshold for determining the presence of temperature segregation is determined to be 10℃. The asphalt mixture parameters are shown in Table 1:
