Currently, while these plants are capable of heating and drying recycled asphalt mix (RAP) to effectively utilize waste asphalt road materials, their heaters are typically limited to traditional direct flame heating or indirect heaters.

[0023] Asphalt mixing plants are essential facilities that play a crucial role in road construction. Currently, while these plants are capable of heating and drying recycled asphalt mix (RAP) to effectively utilize waste asphalt road materials, their heaters are typically limited to traditional direct flame heating or indirect heaters.

[0024] In addition, since the RAP material batching silo is dynamically batched during operation, the RAP material mixing ratio may be unsuitable during operation. For example, the material in some silos is used up and not replenished in time. In this case, the RAP material with an unsuitable ratio that has been transferred to the heater needs to be poured out, otherwise the processed recycled asphalt mixture cannot be used. Existing mixing plants usually use manual methods to remove the RAP material that does not meet the ratio from the heater, but this method is inefficient and has high labor costs.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The present application provides a recycled asphalt mixing station, including a RAP material batching bin 1, a RAP material conveyor 2, a continuous mixer 3, a RAP material elevator 4, a RAP material hot air drying drum 5, a hot RAP material temporary storage bin 6, a mixing tank 9 and a microwave heating regeneration box 7.

[0026] After the control mechanism controls the conveying mechanism 71 to transfer the RAP material from the RAP material hot air drying drum 5 to the microwave heating regeneration box 7, when the RAP material ratio is not suitable and microwave heating is not required, the control mechanism controls the first baffle plate to open and the second baffle plate to close. At the same time, the control mechanism controls the horizontal conveyor belt 73 to convey in reverse, so that the horizontal conveyor belt 73 conveys the RAP material that falls into the microwave heating regeneration box 7 to the discharge trough 70 for direct delivery to the next process.

[0027] When heating is required, the control mechanism controls the conveying mechanism 71 to transfer the RAP material from the RAP material hot air drying drum 5 to the microwave heating regeneration box 7, and the microwave heating regeneration box 7 heats the RAP material. When the heating is completed, the control mechanism controls the first baffle to close and the second baffle to open. At the same time, the control mechanism controls the horizontal conveyor belt 73 to convey in the forward direction, so that the horizontal conveyor belt 73 conveys the RAP material that has fallen into the microwave heating regeneration box 7 to the conveying channel 72, and then enters the hot RAP material temporary storage bin 6 through the conveying channel. This regenerated asphalt mixing plant can discharge the RAP material in the microwave heating regeneration box 7 through the control mechanism, which is more efficient and has lower labor costs. In addition, using microwaves to heat the RAP material can prevent the RAP material from overheating and aging.

At the same time, the PCB control board will control the horizontal conveyor belt 73 to reverse and transport the RAP material to the discharge chute 70 according to the signal.

[0036] When the control box receives the instruction to microwave heat the RAP material, it will transmit the signal to the PCB control board. The PCB control board will control the first baffle plate to close and the second baffle plate to open according to the signal. After the RAP material is heated, the PCB control board controls the horizontal conveyor belt 73 to transport in the forward direction to deliver the heated RAP material to the hot RAP material temporary storage bin 6 through the conveying channel 72.
