DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a self-warning and self-repairing asphalt concrete pavement. It includes an asphalt concrete road 1, wherein a plurality of warning mechanisms and a plurality of heating mechanisms are pre-buried inside the asphalt concrete road 1, wherein the heating mechanism includes a metal frame 2, wherein the metal frame 2 is buried inside the asphalt concrete road 1, wherein a resistance heating sheet 3 is embedded inside the metal frame 2, wherein a wire tube 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom of the metal frame 2, wherein the wire tube 4 is located inside the asphalt concrete road 1 and extends to the front side of the asphalt concrete road 1, wherein a controller 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the wire tube 4, wherein a wire 6 is fixedly electrically connected between the resistance heating sheet 3 and the controller 5, wherein the wire 6 is located inside the wire tube 4, wherein a plurality of microcapsules 14 are filled inside the asphalt concrete road 1, wherein the microcapsules 14 are composed of a capsule core and a capsule wall, wherein the capsule core is a repairing agent, wherein the microcapsule self-repairing technology is an existing technology, and thus no further elaboration is made here, wherein the heating mechanism can not only operate to self-repair the cracks when the asphalt concrete road 1 is cracked, but also heat the asphalt concrete road 1 to reduce the temperature difference when the temperature difference is too large to protect and prevent the asphalt concrete road 1 from cracking. The control chip in the controller 5 may be a single chip microcomputer, which is mainly used to detect whether the circuit loop in the early warning mechanism is normal, and subsequently send instructions to control the operation of the resistance heating plate 3.

[0026] The early warning mechanism includes a metal wire 7, which is electrically connected to a controller 5. The metal wire 7 is located below the metal frame 2. Two metal wires 8 are fixedly connected to the end of the metal wire 7. The metal wire 8 is located above the metal frame 2, and the end of the metal wire 8 is electrically connected to the controller 5. The ends of the metal wire 7 and the metal wire 8 connected to the controller 5 both extend into the inside of the wire tube 4. A circuit loop is formed between the metal wire 7, the metal wire 8 and the controller 5 in the early warning mechanism. When the asphalt concrete road 1 cracks and causes the metal wire 8 to break, due to the disconnection of the circuit, the controller 5 can determine that the pavement of the asphalt concrete road 1 is cracked, thereby controlling the operation of the heating mechanism to self-repair the cracks.

[0027] A plurality of stainless steel wire meshes 13 are embedded inside the asphalt concrete road 1. The stainless steel wire meshes 13 are located on the top of the metal frame 2 and below the metal guide wire 8. The stainless steel wire meshes 13 have good high temperature resistance and thermal conductivity. After the resistance heating sheet 3 heats the metal frame 2, the heat on the metal frame 2 can not only directly heat the asphalt concrete road 1, but also transfer the heat to the stainless steel wire mesh 13, and evenly transfer the heat to the asphalt concrete road 1 through the stainless steel wire mesh 13 to heat the asphalt.

[0028] A wire tube 2 9 is installed at the lower front side of the asphalt concrete road 1, and a plurality of wire tubes 3 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the wire tube 2 9. The top of the wire tube 3 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the controller 5. A data line 11 and an electric wire 2 12 are installed through the inside of the wire tube 2 9. The data line 11 and the electric wire 2 12 pass through the wire tube 3 10 and are electrically connected to the controller 5. The wire tube 2 9 and the wire tube 3 10 can be pre-buried in the soil on the roadside to protect the lines. The electric wire 2 12 can provide electrical energy. The electric wire 2 12 can directly draw electricity from the existing circuit facilities on the roadside. The data line 11 can transmit the data of the controller 5 to the background control center so that the staff can know the specific situation.

[0029] In the first embodiment, when working, multiple controllers 5 transmit data with the background control center through the data line 11, so as to inform the staff of the cracking of the asphalt concrete road 1 in time. When the asphalt concrete road 1 cracks, the microcapsules 14 located at the cracks in the asphalt concrete road 1 will be torn to make the asphalt repair agent inside it flow out and mix with the asphalt to bond the cracks. If the cracks continue to increase and cause the metal guide wire 2 8 to be pulled off, the circuit loop between the metal guide wire 1 7 and the metal guide wire 2 8 and the controller 5 will be disconnected. At this time, the corresponding controller 5 will detect the circuit breakage problem and determine that the pavement of the asphalt concrete road 1 is cracked and control the resistance heating plate 3 to start heating. The resistance heating plate 3 can heat the metal frame 2 when heating. While heating the asphalt concrete road 1, the metal frame 2 will also evenly diffuse the heat inside the asphalt concrete road 1 through the stainless steel wire mesh 13. The asphalt in the asphalt concrete road 1 will soften or even melt after heating. The softened or melted asphalt will automatically level and fill and bond the cracks on the asphalt concrete road 1.

[0030] In summary, through the cooperation of wire one, wire two and the controller, the crack position of the asphalt concrete road can be timely known when the road surface cracks and causes the wire two to break, which plays a self-warning function. When the cracks in the asphalt concrete road are self-repaired, the cracks can be repaired by using the repair agent through the rupture of the microcapsules in the early stage. After receiving the warning, the controller can control the heating of the resistance heating plate, and use the metal frame and stainless steel wire mesh to evenly diffuse the heat to heat the asphalt in the asphalt concrete road to soften or even melt it. The softened or melted asphalt can flow into the cracks to automatically bond the cracks. Compared with the single microcapsule repair, the overall self-repair effect is better. At the same time, when the temperature difference is too large, the heating mechanism can be started to heat the asphalt concrete road to reduce the temperature difference, thereby protecting the asphalt concrete road and preventing cracks.
