Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of asphalt penetration measurement, and particularly to a method for high-precision asphalt penetration testing. Background Art

[0002] An asphalt penetration measuring instrument is a dedicated instrument for measuring the penetration of asphalt. Penetration is an important indicator for measuring the consistency or softness of asphalt.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent with the publication number CN217277659U discloses an adjustable asphalt penetration tester. The asphalt placement dish is placed inside the heat preservation dish, and the asphalt is placed inside the asphalt placement dish. The driving mechanism can drive two clamping plates to approach each other, so as to drive two limit frames to press the asphalt placement dish through the sliding rod. The asphalt placement dish is limited in the vertical direction through the limit component, so as to ensure the stability of the asphalt placement dish. The asphalt can be measured through the tester body. Compared with the above-mentioned prior art, this scheme is convenient for limiting the asphalt placement dish. However, the asphalt placement dish is not convenient to move compared with the tester body, and the tests cannot be carried out on various positions of the asphalt, which needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for high-precision asphalt penetration testing, which is convenient for testing various positions of asphalt.

[0005] A method for high-precision asphalt penetration testing provided by this application adopts the following technical scheme: It is mainly completed in cooperation with an asphalt penetration measuring device, including the following steps:

[0006] S1. Asphalt preparation: Take an appropriate amount of asphalt as a sample, heat the asphalt to a flowable state by a suitable heating method, and slowly pour the heated asphalt into the asphalt penetration measuring device;

[0007] S2. Asphalt cooling: Cool the asphalt poured into the asphalt penetration measuring device at room temperature for a certain time to make the asphalt reach the test temperature and keep the temperature uniform and stable;

[0008] S3. Asphalt testing: Perform asphalt penetration testing on the asphalt through the asphalt penetration measuring device;

[0009] S4. Calculation and processing: Process the penetration data obtained from multiple tests, and take the average value as the final test result. If the test result is within the error threshold compared with the standard deviation, the test data has good reliability.

[0010] The asphalt penetration measuring device includes a measuring table, which is connected with a measuring mechanism. The measuring table is rotatably connected with a turntable, and the measuring table is connected with a driving component for driving the turntable to rotate. The turntable is connected with a heat preservation dish, and the heat preservation dish is located at the eccentric position of the turntable. A placing dish is arranged in the heat preservation dish, and the heat preservation dish is connected with a clamping component for clamping the placing dish.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, by arranging a rotatable turntable on the measuring table and setting the heat preservation dish at the eccentric position of the turntable, the placing dish can change its position as the turntable rotates, so as to facilitate the measurement of the penetration of different positions of the asphalt, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test. At the same time, the setting of the clamping component can effectively fix the placing dish, ensuring the stability of the placing dish during the test process and avoiding the problem that the measurement result is inaccurate due to the shaking of the placing dish.

[0012] Optionally, the driving component includes a rotating column rotatably connected to the measuring table, a passive gear connected to the rotating column, an active gear rotatably connected to the measuring table, and a first driving member for driving the active gear to rotate. The first driving member is connected to the measuring table. The active gear meshes with the passive gear. The turntable is connected to the rotating column, and the radius of the passive gear is larger than that of the active gear.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the radius of the passive gear is larger than that of the active gear, this design utilizes the gear transmission principle to achieve the effect of speed reduction and torque increase, enabling the power provided by the first driving member to be transmitted to the turntable more smoothly, ensuring the stability of the turntable during rotation. This design not only improves the convenience of testing different positions of asphalt during the measurement process, but also effectively reduces the measurement errors caused by too fast or unstable rotation speed, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the overall measuring device.

[0014] Optionally, the heat preservation dish is provided with a limiting convex ring, and the placing dish is matched with the inner ring of the limiting convex ring.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the placing dish is placed in the inner ring of the limiting convex ring, and the outer peripheral surface of the placing dish fits with the inner ring of the limiting convex ring. The inner ring of the limiting convex ring plays a role in restricting the horizontal movement of the placing dish, enabling the placing dish to be accurately placed in the corresponding position, facilitating the clamping component to better clamp the placing dish.

[0016] Optionally, the clamping component includes two clamping plates slidably connected in the heat preservation dish and a driving structure for driving the two clamping plates to slide towards or away from the placing dish. The driving structure is connected to the heat preservation dish.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving structure drives the two clamping plates to slide towards the direction close to the placement dish. The clamping plates abut against the placement dish and clamp the placement dish, improving the stability of the placement dish placed in the heat preservation dish. The driving structure drives the two clamping plates to slide away from the placement plate, and the clamping plates are separated from the placement dish, facilitating the replacement of the placement dish with different asphalt.

[0018] Optionally, one side of each clamping plate close to the placement dish is in the shape of an inner arc surface.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the design that one side of the clamping plate close to the placement dish is in the shape of an inner arc surface can increase the contact area between the clamping plate and the placement dish, thereby improving the stability during clamping and preventing the placement dish from shifting or shaking during the test. In addition, the design of the inner arc surface can also reduce the pressure of the clamping plate on the surface of the placement dish, preventing damage to the placement dish due to excessive clamping force and ensuring the accuracy and safety of the test process.

[0020] Optionally, the driving structure includes two connecting rods slidably connected to the turntable, a bidirectional lead screw rotatably connected to the turntable, and a second driving member for driving the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. The second driving member is connected to the turntable. Each connecting rod is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw. The connecting rod abuts against the turntable. The connecting rod passes through the heat preservation dish, and the clamping plates are connected to the connecting rods one by one.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the second driving member drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, and the two connecting rods slide towards each other or away from each other, that is, the two clamping plates slide towards each other or away from each other, thereby realizing clamping or loosening of the placement dish.

[0022] Optionally, the measuring mechanism includes a carrier plate slidably connected to the measuring table, an adjusting component for driving the carrier plate to move towards or away from the measuring table, a magnetic rod slidably connected to the carrier plate, a test needle connected to one end of the magnetic rod, an electromagnet connected to the carrier plate, and a controller connected to the measuring table. The adjusting component is connected to the measuring table. The magnetic rod is magnetically attracted to the electromagnet. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the controller. The magnetic rod is connected with a scale.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting component adjusts the height of the carrier plate so that the test needle contacts the surface of the asphalt. During the test, the controller controls the electromagnet to demagnetize, and the magnetic rod and the test needle are inserted into the asphalt under the influence of gravity. The depth of the test needle inserted into the asphalt can be directly read according to the scale, thereby improving the measurement accuracy and reliability.

[0024] Optionally, the adjusting assembly includes a bracket connected to the measuring table, a rotating lead screw rotatably connected to the bracket, and a rotating part connected to one end of the rotating lead screw. The carrier plate is threadedly connected to the rotating lead screw and abuts against the bracket.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating part drives the rotating lead screw to rotate, so that the carrier plate slides in a direction close to or away from the measuring table, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the carrier plate, that is, the height of the test needle, so that the test needle contacts the surface of the asphalt.

[0026] Optionally, the bracket is rotatably connected with a threaded rod, and the threaded rod can abut against the rotating lead screw.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, after the height of the carrier plate is adjusted, the threaded rod is rotated so that the threaded rod abuts against the rotating lead screw, thereby preventing the rotating lead screw from rotating during the test.

[0028] Optionally, the radius dimension of the test needle gradually decreases in a direction away from the magnetic rod.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the contact area gradually decreases when the test needle contacts the asphalt, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement. This design enables the test needle to better adapt to the subtle changes on the surface of the asphalt during the insertion process, reduces the measurement error caused by the sudden change of the contact area, and further improves the reliability of the asphalt penetration measurement.

[0030] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. By providing a rotatable turntable on the measuring table and arranging the heat preservation dish at the eccentric position of the turntable, the placement dish can change its position as the turntable rotates, thereby facilitating the penetration measurement of different positions of the asphalt and improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test.

[0032] 2. Since the radius dimension of the passive gear is larger than that of the active gear, this design utilizes the gear transmission principle to achieve the effect of speed reduction and torque increase, enabling the power provided by the first driving member to be transmitted to the turntable more smoothly and ensuring the stability of the turntable during rotation.
