Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of the production and measurement of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens, in particular to a device for measuring the thickness of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens. Background Technique
[0002] At present, in the mix design of asphalt mixtures, when making specimens by the compaction method, conducting the Marshall stability test on asphalt mixtures, and measuring the density of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens by the volume method, it is necessary to measure the height of the asphalt mixture Marshall specimens to determine whether the specimen height meets the dimensional requirements. However, during the production process of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens, since the asphalt mixture Marshall specimens are located inside the test mold, the conventional measurement method requires manually holding a corresponding measuring ruler to calculate the height of the asphalt mixture Marshall specimens by measuring the height of the Marshall test mold and the remaining heights on both sides inside (the height of the specimen from the upper and lower openings of the test mold). The specimen height is equal to the test mold height - the remaining height on one side inside - the remaining height on the other side inside. It requires two people to cooperate to complete the measurement of the three heights. The measurement process is relatively complex, the accuracy of the obtained specimen height is relatively low, and at this time, the temperature of the asphalt mixture specimen is relatively high, posing a risk of scalding to the measurement personnel. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a device for measuring the thickness of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens, so as to solve the problems of complex measurement process, low measurement accuracy, and the risk of scalding to measurement personnel in the existing measurement of the height of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, this application provides a device for measuring the thickness of asphalt mixture Marshall specimens, including:
[0005] A base, on which a digital vernier caliper is fixed. One side of the vernier of the digital vernier caliper is fixed with an L-shaped connecting rod. The lower end of the L-shaped connecting rod is fixed with a measuring top plate that can be located inside the Marshall test mold. A measuring bottom plate corresponding to the measuring top plate is fixed on the base through a vertical connecting rod. A plurality of leveling bolts are screwed on the lower side of the base.
[0006] On the basis of the above embodiment, as a preferred implementation manner, a horizontal bubble level is further arranged on one side of the base.
[0007] On the basis of the above embodiment, as a preferred implementation manner, the number of the leveling bolts is 4.
[0008] It should be specifically noted in the solution that both the measuring top plate and the measuring bottom plate are circular plates with the same diameter as the asphalt mixture Marshall specimen.
[0009] On the basis of the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, the main scale in the digital display vernier caliper and the base are integrally formed.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, a device for measuring the thickness of a Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture provided by the utility model includes a base, a digital display vernier caliper is fixed on the base, an L-shaped connecting rod is fixed on one side of the vernier of the digital display vernier caliper, a measuring top plate that can be located inside the Marshall test mold is fixed at the lower end of the L-shaped connecting rod, a measuring bottom plate corresponding to the measuring top plate is fixed on the base through a vertical connecting rod, and a plurality of leveling bolts are screwed on the lower side of the base. After the compaction of the Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture is completed, immediately use tweezers to remove the papers on both sides, press the measuring top plate and the measuring bottom plate together for zero adjustment. After zero adjustment, separate the measuring top plate and the measuring bottom plate, and determine the separation height according to the height of the Marshall test mold for the asphalt mixture. Then, place the bottom surface of the Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture on the measuring bottom plate, and then operate to press down the measuring top plate so that the measuring top plate fits against the top surface of the Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture. At this time, the value displayed on the digital display screen of the vernier is the height of the Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture. This measurement method only needs to place the Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture together with the Marshall test mold on the measuring bottom plate to measure its height, and one person can complete it independently, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of measuring the height of the Marshall specimen of asphalt mixture and effectively preventing the risk of scalding the measuring personnel.
