Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of asphalt viscosity testing, and specifically to an asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction. Background Art

[0002] In road and bridge construction, asphalt materials are usually used to lay multiple layers. The viscosity of asphalt has an important impact on the interlayer bonding performance. Asphalt with moderate viscosity can better combine with aggregates during the compaction process to form a tight structure, thereby improving the compaction degree and anti-deformation ability of the road surface. On the contrary, if the asphalt viscosity is too high or too low, it may affect the compaction effect, resulting in problems such as looseness and deformation of the road surface. Therefore, through viscosity testing, the flow performance and viscosity characteristics of asphalt at different temperatures can be understood, providing an important basis for the selection, construction, and quality control of asphalt.

[0003] Referring to a patent application with the publication number CN117388120A, which discloses an asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction. Through the cooperation of multiple sets of detection modules and a constant temperature module, it realizes how to quickly adjust the temperature of asphalt at different temperatures and conduct export detection, greatly reducing the detection time of asphalt; and the asphalt can be quickly adjusted to a high temperature or a low temperature state according to the detection requirements.

[0004] Existing asphalt viscosity testing devices export the heated and melted asphalt for detection. When the melted asphalt is transferred to the viscosity testing device, due to the large temperature difference between the initial temperature of the viscosity testing device and the heated asphalt, it is easy to cause the temperature of the asphalt to drop rapidly in a short time when it is introduced into the viscosity testing device, thus unable to accurately measure the viscosity of the asphalt at the required temperature. And it can only test the viscosity of asphalt at a single position, which is prone to errors in test data, thereby reducing the credibility of the test results. For example, a patent application with the publication number CN117388120A discloses an asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction. It uses the heat transfer between the heat dissipation fins and the constant temperature module to heat the material receiving bin. However, a large amount of heat loss will occur during the heat transfer process, and the temperature of the material receiving bin and the constant temperature module cannot be kept consistent, resulting in a still large temperature difference between the inner wall of the material receiving bin and the heated asphalt. And only a single rotary viscometer is used for testing, which is prone to inaccurate test results due to test errors or equipment failures during the test.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention proposes an asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The present invention provides an asphalt viscosity test device for road and bridge construction. Compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0037] 1. An asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction, by setting a heating mechanism, a viscosity testing mechanism, a delivery pipe and a reflux pipe, can make the liquid asphalt reaching the detection temperature circulate between the heating mechanism and the viscosity testing mechanism, so that the asphalt can be continuously heated during the flowing process, thus keeping the asphalt temperature in a relatively stable state, and can heat the inner walls of components such as the delivery pipe and the reflux pipe during the long-term flowing process of the asphalt. Before detecting the asphalt viscosity, it can ensure that the asphalt temperature is consistent with the temperature of the components in contact with the asphalt, avoiding heat loss before asphalt detection, and thus can improve the accuracy of asphalt viscosity detection.

[0038] 2. An asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction, by setting a viscosity testing mechanism, can randomly select the detection time during the flowing process of the asphalt, and through the isolation cover, a part of a fixed amount of asphalt can be isolated in an independent space, so as to achieve the purpose of providing a preset temperature asphalt sample for viscosity detection, realizing the purpose of randomly sampling the asphalt in a short time, eliminating the step of transferring the asphalt from the heating device to the detection device, and can complete the viscosity test of the asphalt at this temperature within a short time during the flowing process of the asphalt, thus avoiding heat loss of the asphalt and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results. At the same time, the detection process is made simpler and faster. Moreover, during the viscosity test process, the flowing asphalt can continuously heat the asphalt inside the isolation cover;

[0039] Secondly, by setting multiple viscosity testing units, the viscosity of asphalt at multiple positions can be synchronously tested at the same time. Using the viscosity test data of asphalt at multiple positions, the viscosity value of the asphalt at the test temperature can be comprehensively evaluated, so as to avoid the situation that the test data has a large deviation due to operation errors or equipment failures. Moreover, the multi-point detection and adjustment process is simple and fast, and the viscosity data of multi-point asphalt can be obtained within a short time, thus improving the efficiency of asphalt viscosity testing.

[0040] 3. An asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction, after testing the asphalt viscosity under a certain temperature condition, by changing the heating temperature of the current asphalt until the temperature of the circulating asphalt is stable, the viscosity test at another temperature can be directly carried out. The switching speed of the asphalt viscosity test process at two temperatures is fast, so that the viscosity test values of the asphalt at multiple temperatures can be obtained within a short time.

[0041] 4. An asphalt viscosity testing device for road and bridge construction. By setting a test height adjustment component, it can synchronously push multiple viscosity testing units into the test position during the asphalt viscosity test, providing power for the isolation cover to isolate a fixed amount of asphalt. And when the isolation cover contacts the bottom of the inner cavity of the test box, it can use the reaction force of the test box to push the isolation cover upward, thereby synchronously pushing the scraping ring upward along the outer wall of the rotating probe, and then achieving the effect of scraping off the asphalt remaining on the rotating probe. Moreover, during the reset process of the scraping ring, it can scrape and clean the outer wall of the rotating probe again, achieving the effect of automatic cleaning twice, thus ensuring that the rotating probe is in a clean state during the next test and ensuring that the test process can proceed normally.

[0093] During use, first, the heat preservation sealing cover in the access opening is disassembled, and then the heating cylinder is taken out through the access opening. After loading a certain amount of asphalt to be tested into the heating cylinder, it is installed on the electric heating base in the heat preservation outer cylinder through the access opening again, and it is ensured that the heating cylinder is located at the middle position of the electric heating base. Then, the bottom ends of the first metal hose and the second metal hose are respectively placed on both sides inside the heating cylinder, and then the access opening is sealed by using the heat preservation sealing cover.

[0094] Next, the power supply of the electric heating base is controlled to be turned on through the touch control module, and the electric heating base is controlled to heat the heating cylinder at a preset temperature for a preset time, and this preset heating time can ensure that the asphalt can be completely formed into a flowable liquid.

[0095] Next, the suction pump is controlled to work through the touch control module. The suction pump sucks the liquid asphalt through the first metal hose and conveys the asphalt to the input pipe 24 through the conveying pipe 4. The liquid asphalt flows into the inside of the test box 21 through the flowmeter 25 and the throttle valve 26. It should be noted that before the amount of asphalt in the test box 21 reaches the fixed detection value, it is in a fully open state, that is, its own maximum flow rate. And since the diameter of the input pipe 24 is twice that of the output pipe 23, that is, when the throttle valve 26 is in a fully open state, the amount of asphalt entering the test box 21 through the input pipe 24 per unit time is twice that discharged through the output pipe 23. Therefore, when the amount of asphalt passing through the flowmeter 25 is twice the amount of asphalt supplied for detection in the chamber of the test box 21, the amount of asphalt passing through the throttle valve 26 per unit time is controlled to be reduced to half of the previous amount through the touch control module. At this time, the amount of asphalt entering the test box 21 through the input pipe 24 per unit time is equal to the amount of asphalt discharged from the test box 21 through the output pipe 23, that is, to ensure that the amount of asphalt in the test box 21 is the required fixed detection amount. When reaching this fixed detection amount, the bottom end of the isolation cover 274 in the initial position state does not contact the asphalt.

[0096] Next, when the temperature sensor shows that the real-time temperature of the asphalt is the asphalt temperature in the required test state, the electric push rod 293 is controlled to descend by a preset height through the touch control module. This preset descending height can ensure that the bottom end of the isolation cover 274 contacts the bottom of the test box 21, and it moves upward under the reaction force at the bottom of the test box 21, so that the scraping ring 276 moves from the bottommost end of the outer wall of the rotating probe 273 to the uppermost end of the outer wall of the rotating probe 273; the electric push rod 293 pushes the cross plate 292 to move downward. Since multiple lifting rods 295 are slidably arranged inside the chute 294 and the viscosity test unit 27 is fixedly arranged inside the mounting sleeve 297, multiple mounting sleeves 297 drive the viscometers 271 at corresponding positions to move downward synchronously. After the bottom end of the isolation cover 274 contacts the bottom of the test box 21, a fixed amount of asphalt is isolated inside the isolation cover 274, and the height of the asphalt liquid level reaches half of the height of the inner cavity of the isolation cover 274. At the same time, the inner wall of the test box 21 pushes the isolation cover 274 to move upward, and half of the rotating probe 273 is completely immersed in the asphalt, while the scraping ring 276 moves upward along the outer wall of the rotating probe 273 to the highest point of its outer wall. At this time, the touch control module can be used to control the viscosity test unit 27 to detect the viscosity of the asphalt, and the viscosity test units 27 at multiple positions transmit the test data to the display module for display;

[0097] When it is necessary to measure the viscosity of the asphalt at other positions in the test box 21, the servo motor 286 is controlled to rotate slowly for a preset time, the driving rod 281 rotates forward or backward, and the push rods 2810 at multiple positions slide along the first spiral groove 283 or the second spiral groove 284 or the third spiral groove 285 at corresponding positions. Since the pitches of the first spiral groove 283, the second spiral groove 284, and the third spiral groove 285 increase in equal proportion in sequence, the push rods 2810 at multiple positions approach or move away from each other simultaneously under the push of the first spiral groove 283 or the second spiral groove 284 or the third spiral groove 285 at corresponding positions. The bearing seat 289 slides synchronously along the inner wall of the guiding through groove 288 with the push rod 2810. After being adjusted to a new preset position, the viscosity of the asphalt can be measured again.
