Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an asphalt spreading power system and an electric asphalt spreading vehicle, belonging to the technical field of electric asphalt spreading vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Traditional asphalt spreaders come in two types: single-engine and twin-engine. In single-engine asphalt spreaders, the chassis engine powers both the chassis and the hydraulic system when the attached working device is operating, via the clutch and power take-off. In twin-engine asphalt spreaders, the chassis engine and the attached working device power the chassis and the attached working device, respectively. Single-engine asphalt spreaders have the following disadvantages: 1) The chassis engine speed affects the speed of the attached hydraulic pump, which in turn affects the speed of the asphalt pump, preventing the asphalt pump from operating at its optimal speed; 2) The chassis engine speed is affected by the load on the attached working device, resulting in unstable speed, which in turn leads to unstable vehicle speed and poor construction quality; 3) Asphalt spreaders generally have operating modes such as heating, transport, circulation, and spreading. The chassis engine must be running in each operating mode, resulting in low engine efficiency and high operating costs. Twin-engine asphalt spreaders have the following disadvantages: 1) Two sets of engines result in high construction noise, which limits municipal construction and nighttime construction; 2) Two sets of engines have high maintenance costs; 3) The upper engine is matched according to the maximum workload, and the required power in most working modes is far lower than the power of the upper engine, resulting in low working efficiency of the upper engine.

[0003] Chinese patent CN106480808B discloses a pure electric foamed asphalt distributor. The battery is charged via a power grid charging port. The battery output current is boosted and rectified by a control cabinet before entering the power ports for the travel system, electrical system, hydraulic system, pneumatic system, and asphalt foaming and spraying system. This provides power for the travel system, electrical system, hydraulic system, pneumatic system, and asphalt foaming and spraying system, thereby utilizing the battery as the power source for the entire foamed asphalt distributor. This battery-powered pure electric technology solution can address the shortcomings of the single- or dual-engine power systems of conventional asphalt distributors.
