[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the implementation methods described below. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example
[0029] Organic compounds like benzene, toluene, and xylene, produced by incomplete combustion of asphalt during paving, are the primary sources of toxic and hazardous substances in asphalt fume. Furthermore, when burning asphalt, nitrogen oxides in the air react with oxygen in the fuel to produce nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides produce sulfur dioxide, a harmful gas.
[0030] In order to prevent the asphalt smoke produced by incomplete asphalt combustion from damaging the health of workers, the present invention makes the following improvements:
[0031] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides an asphalt pavement construction joint cleaning device, including a device body 1, a cleaning component 2 and an asphalt fume treatment component 3. The cleaning component 2 and the asphalt fume treatment component 3 are arranged side by side on the device body 1, and the cleaning component 2 and the asphalt fume treatment component 3 both extend to the bottom of the device body 1.
[0032] Specifically: the device body 1 includes a frame 11, and a driving wheel 13 and one or more driven wheels are arranged at the bottom of the frame 11; a driving motor is arranged on the top of the frame 11. In this embodiment, the driving motor is preferably a servo motor, and a driving wheel 12 is arranged on the output shaft of the servo motor. In this embodiment, the driving wheel 12 and the driving wheel 13 are transmitted through a belt mechanism. The driving wheel 12 is driven by the servo motor to rotate, thereby driving the driving wheel 13 and the driven wheel to rotate in turn. The driving wheel 13 and the driven wheel are used as walking wheels to realize the walking and movement of the device body 1.
[0033] A telescopic rod 14 is mounted at one end of the frame 11. The bottom of the rod 14 is pivotally connected to the frame 11 via a damping shaft. A handrail 15 is mounted at the top of the rod 14, also connected to the top of the rod 14 via a damping shaft. The rod 14 and handrail 15 facilitate movement of the push mechanism along joints in the asphalt pavement. The rod 14's pivoting connection to the frame 11 via the damping shaft allows for variable tilt, allowing the height of the handrail 15 to be adjusted to meet varying user needs. The damping shaft further enhances the flexibility of the handrail 15.
[0034] See also Figure 2The cleaning assembly 2 includes a fixed seat 21, a cleaning roller 22 and a cleaning brush 23. The fixed seat 21 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 11. The two ends of the cleaning roller 22 are rotatably connected to the fixed seat 21 through a rotating shaft. A plurality of cleaning brushes 23 are provided, and the plurality of cleaning brushes 23 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the cleaning roller 22, which is convenient for cleaning the construction joints of the asphalt pavement.
[0035] In order to realize the portability and replacement of the cleaning brush 23 and enhance the flexibility of the device, the cleaning roller 22 and the cleaning brush 23 are detachably connected. Figure 4 The cleaning roller 22 is provided with multiple slots 26 evenly spaced along its circumference. An insert 27 is provided at one end of the cleaning brush 23, and the slots 26 and insert 27 engage with each other. Furthermore, to ensure a secure fit between the slots 26 and insert 27, the slots 26 and insert 27 are reinforced by a pin 28 serving as a fastener. The pin can also be replaced with another fastener, such as a bolt, that can also provide a secure connection.
[0036] In order to prevent dust and sharp debris such as stones from being thrown up during cleaning, which may cause hidden dangers to the safety of the workers, a baffle 24 is set on the fixing seat 21 in this embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, baffle 24 is positioned above cleaning roller 22 and cleaning brush 23. Furthermore, a wear-resistant Teflon coating is applied to the lower surface of baffle 24 to enhance its durability, extending the maintenance time and service life of the device. In this embodiment, one end of baffle 24 is hinged to mounting base 21 via a hinge axis. A support spring 25 is also provided, preferably a tension spring. Baffle 24, mounting base 21, and support spring 25 form a triangular structure. The support spring 25 elastically supports baffle 24, enhancing the fit between baffle 24 and mounting base 21.

[0039] A low-temperature plasma reactor 35 is also provided in the asphalt fume purification box 33. The low-temperature plasma reactor 35 is arranged in parallel with the activated carbon filter 34. Compared with the activated carbon filter 34, the low-temperature plasma reactor 35 is arranged at the rear of the circulation channel (the activated carbon filter 34 is arranged close to the air inlet of the asphalt fume purification box 33). The asphalt fume passes through the plasma reaction chamber of the low-temperature plasma reactor 35, so that the harmful substances in the exhaust gas are oxidized and decomposed. The low-temperature plasma reactor 35 can process high-concentration asphalt fume, and the processing speed is efficient. In this embodiment, the low-temperature plasma is preferably the PCD reactor commercially available from Suzhou Alos Environmental Generator Co., Ltd.

The air inlet at the bottom of the alkaline gas drying tube 37 is connected to the air outlet at the top of the acidic gas drying tube 36, and the top air outlet of the alkaline gas drying tube 37 is connected to the air outlet of the asphalt fume purification box 33. An alkaline gas adsorbent is provided in the alkaline gas drying tube 37. In this embodiment, the alkaline gas adsorbent is preferably calcium chloride particles, activated carbon or zeolite molecular sieve. The alkaline gas adsorbent can absorb ammonia, the main component of alkaline gas in asphalt fume.
[0042] This embodiment provides a device for cleaning joints in asphalt pavement construction. Its operating principle is as follows: a cleaning assembly 2 cleans the joints of the asphalt pavement, while an asphalt fume treatment assembly 3 absorbs and purifies asphalt fumes escaping from the pavement. Driven by an induced draft fan 31, the asphalt fume enters an asphalt fume purification box 33, where it passes through an activated carbon filter 34, a low-temperature plasma reactor 35, an acidic gas drying tube 36, and an alkaline gas drying tube 37. Solid particles and organic macromolecules in the asphalt fume are adsorbed by the activated carbon filter 34, while organic gases are decomposed within the low-temperature plasma reactor 35. Inorganic gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide are subsequently absorbed by the acidic gas drying tube 36, while alkaline gases such as ammonia are absorbed by the alkaline gas drying tube 37. The purified gases are then discharged through the outlet of the asphalt fume purification box 33. Treatment by the asphalt fume treatment assembly 3 significantly reduces the content of harmful substances in the asphalt fume, preventing workers from long-term exposure to asphalt volatile gases, which could pose health risks, and ensuring a safe working environment for workers.
