Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of highway asphalt test instruments, in particular to an asphalt standard viscosity tester. Background Art
[0002] Asphalt is a highly viscous, highly elastic, semi-solid or solid substance at room temperature. Its viscosity changes significantly with temperature. High viscosity at room temperature makes measurement more difficult and inaccurate. If it is not heated, the fluidity of asphalt is very poor, making it difficult to accurately measure its viscosity, and thus it is impossible to obtain correct data through standard methods.
[0003] The Chinese utility model with authorization announcement number CN219657428U discloses an asphalt standard viscosity testing device. When in use, the device heats the asphalt through a heating component. During the heating process, part of the asphalt may adhere to the inner wall of the heating device. When the asphalt standard viscosity is subsequently tested, the amount of asphalt sample actually involved in the test is reduced and no longer uniform, affecting the accuracy of subsequent test data. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the asphalt standard viscosity tester to address the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figures 1 - 3 Figures 1 - 3 , an asphalt standard viscosity tester, includes a viscosity tester body 1 and a heating cylinder 2. The heating cylinder 2 is installed on the upper end face of the viscosity tester body 1. The heating cylinder 2 is internally connected to the viscosity tester body 1 through a connecting pipe 3. The heating cylinder 2 is divided into upper and lower sections. The upper section is cylindrical, and the lower section is conical. A rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner top of the viscosity tester body 1. A plurality of stirring rollers 10 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 9. Electric heating wires are installed inside both the stirring rollers 10 and the heating cylinder 2. A second gear 7 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the viscosity tester body 1. A reciprocating lead screw 12 is fixedly connected to the center of the second gear 7. The reciprocating lead screw 12 is connected to two connecting rods 8 through a connecting mechanism. Both groups of connecting rods 8 penetrate through the body of the heating cylinder 2 and are commonly connected to a scraper 11. The scraper 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the heating cylinder 2. The connecting mechanism includes a lead screw sleeve 13 threadedly connected to the threaded section of the reciprocating lead screw 12. The two connecting rods 8 are respectively fixed to the outer walls on both sides of the lead screw sleeve 13 and are symmetrically positioned with each other;
[0021] Reference Figure 2 And Figure 3 Figure 3 , by means of the sliding of the scraper 11, the asphalt adhering to the inner wall of the heating cylinder 2 can be scraped to the lower section of the heating cylinder 2, that is, the conical part of the heating cylinder 2. By virtue of its inner wall being an inclined plane, it can automatically slide down to the connecting pipe 3, which can minimize the waste of samples and ensure that more asphalt participates in the detection.
[0022] A feed hopper 15 and a side plate 4 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the viscosity tester body 1. The feed hopper 15 is internally connected to the heating cylinder 2. The outer wall of the side plate 4 is L-shaped. A first gear 5 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the viscosity tester body 1. The first gear 5 meshes with the second gear 7. Limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the reciprocating lead screw 12. The radius of the limiting blocks 14 is greater than the radius of the reciprocating lead screw 12. A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the side plate 4. The end of the output shaft of the servo motor 6 is coaxially fixedly connected to the first gear 5;
[0023] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 3 Figure 3 , by driving the rotating rod 9 to rotate with the aid of the servo motor 6, the reciprocating lead screw 12 can be synchronously driven to drive the scraper 11 to slide up and down, so as to synchronously realize multiple functions through a single driving source.
[0024] In the present utility model, the specific function of the device is as follows: When using this device, asphalt is poured into the interior of the heating cylinder 2 through the feed hopper 15, and then the asphalt is heated by the electric heating wire inside the viscosity tester body 1, that is, the stirring roller 10. During this process, the servo motor 6 provided drives the first gear 5 and the rotating rod 9 to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of multiple groups of stirring rollers 10, and then the asphalt in the heating cylinder 2 can be mixed and stirred, so that the asphalt is evenly distributed inside the heating cylinder 2, avoiding too high or too low local temperature, and at the same time ensuring that the finally measured viscosity data is more representative, reflecting the true physical properties of the asphalt and improving the reliability of the detection results.
[0025] With the meshing of the first gear 5 and the second gear 7, the reciprocating lead screw 12 can be synchronously driven to rotate. Immediately, the lead screw sleeve 13 on its threaded section drives the scraper 11 to slide reciprocally on the inner wall of the heating cylinder 2. When sliding, the asphalt attached to the upper inner wall of the heating cylinder 2 can be scraped to the lower section of the heating cylinder 2. The inner wall design of the conical structure enables the asphalt to naturally gather downward and go to the bottom connecting pipe 3 area of the heating cylinder 2. In this way, the inner wall of the heating cylinder 2 can be kept clean, effectively preventing the accumulation of asphalt, maintaining the heating efficiency and heat transfer effect of the equipment at a relatively high level, and at the same time minimizing the waste of samples, ensuring that more asphalt participates in the detection, so as to ensure the accuracy of the detection data.
[0026] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
