Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of asphalt material performance index testing, specifically relating to an electromagnetic high-precision asphalt viscosity tester and testing method. Background Technology

[0002] Viscosity is an important physical property of viscoelastic materials, and its applications are not limited to medicine, food, chemical industry, and civil engineering. For asphalt materials in road engineering, viscosity is a very important evaluation indicator.

[0003] Rubber-modified asphalt suffers from poor compatibility and homogeneity, which can amplify errors in experimental data. To more accurately obtain the viscosity value of rubber-modified asphalt, patent number CN 206710250U transforms the asphalt from a static to a flowing form, solving the segregation problem. While an asphalt inlet is located at the top of a fixed, insulated container and an outlet at the bottom, allowing for real-time monitoring of key asphalt parameters, the thin pipes make cleaning extremely difficult.

[0004] While traditional Brinell viscometers are simple to use, each measurement takes a long time, leading to segregation of some less stable samples and consequently inaccurate viscosity readings. Furthermore, for accuracy and comparability, Brinell viscometers can only compare viscosities under the same rotor and rotational speed. Measuring the viscosity of the same sample at different temperatures using the same rotor and rotational speed may result in significant errors at certain temperatures, causing torque to be too high or too low, which is detrimental to data acquisition.

[0012] Preferably, the metal ball includes a metal armature and a heat-insulating outer shell. The metal armature includes a horseshoe-shaped armature in the middle and wear-resistant metal connected to both sides of the horseshoe-shaped armature. The heat-insulating outer shell wraps around the outside of the horseshoe-shaped armature, and the end of the wear-resistant metal protrudes from the heat-insulating outer shell and abuts against the built-in electromagnetic rail. The center of the metal ball is on the central axis of the test capsule.

[0013] Preferably, the radar group is located directly below the electromagnetic rail of the isolation box and one end is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the test isolation box. The radar group is arranged along the axial direction of the test capsule and has a liftable structure.

[0014] The electromagnetic rail of the isolation box includes an inner conductive fixed rail, a middle thermally conductive insulating layer, and an outer metal fixed bracket. Both ends of the electromagnetic rail of the isolation box have cooling devices for heat dissipation.

[0020] S4: After waiting for the preset time, output the test data; open the test isolation box, take out the test capsule, open the capsule cap to pour out the sample, and wipe the inside of the test capsule and the metal ball clean.

[0021] Preferably, in step S1, if a 3D flow rate map needs to be output, a small amount of aluminum powder needs to be added to the sample container for flow rate tracking.

The main control box enables fully automated testing, simplifying operation. Temperature control within the testing chamber includes both heating and cooling components; the chamber isolates the inside from the outside, maintaining a stable internal environment. The temperature control system, working in conjunction with the stable internal environment, allows for precise temperature control within a narrow range. Simultaneously, the temperature control system ensures the overall machine operates at a safe temperature, guaranteeing machine safety. The constantly moving metal balls continuously agitate the sample, significantly reducing segregation. After the test, the temperature inside the testing capsule can be automatically set, greatly facilitating capsule cleaning.

[0027] The radar array can perform multiple measurements simultaneously, acquiring a larger amount of information and providing high-precision, fast, and comprehensive results. After adding aluminum powder, a three-dimensional spatial model can be built based on the data, providing users with animations and tables showing the dynamics of the metal spheres and the sample's state. The machine requires periodic no-load runs for self-checks to ensure consistently high-precision operation. The machine matches measurement data with data from the calibration library, and will prompt for replacement of problematic components if errors are found or a faulty part is detected.

[0076] The central control unit 3.1 continuously records and adjusts the current, controlling the speed of the metal ball 2.2 to 2 cm / s within a very short time. The force acting on the metal ball during uniform motion is calculated using the aforementioned formula. The center position and attitude of the metal ball 2.2 during its motion are monitored by radar group 5. The metal ball 2.2 should not exhibit any changes in attitude, such as swaying left and right or flipping forward and backward.
