Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of asphalt tanks, in particular to an online real-time measuring device for the storage capacity and temperature of an asphalt tank. Background Art

[0002] During the asphalt storage process, the asphalt needs to be placed in an asphalt storage tank and stored insulated at a certain temperature. The storage capacity varies according to the carbon production capacity and the type of asphalt used. Currently, the most common liquid asphalt storage tank is a rectangular parallelepiped. At the same time, in order to purify the environment, each asphalt storage tank is equipped with an asphalt fume collection port, which relies on the negative pressure generated by the fan to extract the asphalt volatiles. Each asphalt storage tank has two openings, one of which is an observation port for observing the asphalt condition and maintenance. It is usually in a sealed state.

[0003] However, it is not convenient to perform online real-time measurement of the asphalt storage volume and temperature in the existing asphalt storage tank during use, which makes it difficult for operators to understand the internal conditions of the asphalt storage tank in real time. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an online real-time measurement device for the storage capacity and temperature of an asphalt tank, comprising an asphalt storage tank, a placement through-hole being provided on one side of the top of the asphalt storage tank, a placement slot being provided on the top inside the placement through-hole, a sealing plate being provided inside the placement slot, an infrared rangefinder being fixedly installed on one side of the bottom end of the sealing plate, an adjustable connecting structure being fixedly provided on the middle part of the bottom end of the sealing plate, a sliding sleeve being slidably provided on the surface of the adjustable connecting structure, a floating plate being fixedly provided on the surface of the sliding sleeve, a temperature sensor being fixedly installed on one side of the bottom end of the floating plate, a control panel being fixedly provided on the top of one side of the asphalt storage tank, a display screen being fixedly provided on the bottom of one side of the asphalt storage tank, the adjustable connecting structure comprising a first support rod, a threaded hole being provided on the top of the first support rod, a threaded rod being provided on the internal thread of the threaded hole, and a second support rod being fixedly provided on the top of the threaded rod.

[0006] The floating plate always floats on the surface of the asphalt due to its own buoyancy, and the temperature sensor is always in contact with the asphalt, so as to monitor the temperature of the asphalt in real time. At the same time, the infrared rangefinder is used to detect the distance between the top of the asphalt storage tank and the floating plate, and then the distance between the top of the asphalt storage tank and the asphalt liquid surface is detected. The larger the detected value, the less asphalt remains. Conversely, the smaller the detected value, the more asphalt remains. At the same time, the monitored asphalt temperature and asphalt remainder value are displayed in real time on the display screen to facilitate real-time observation by staff.

[0007] Preferably, a guide groove is provided on one side of the bottom end of the floating board, and a guide rod is inserted into the inside of the guide groove. The guide rod is fixedly arranged on the side of the bottom end of the sealing plate away from the infrared rangefinder. The stable up and down movement of the floating board is ensured by the coordinated arrangement of the guide rod and the guide groove.

[0008] Preferably, two limit slots are provided at the connection between the placement slot and the sealing plate, and the internal engaging portions of the two limit slots are provided with limit blocks, and the two limit blocks are fixedly connected to the sealing plate. The sealing plate is limited and fixed by the two limit blocks respectively engaging with the two limit slots to ensure stable operation of the measuring device.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting socket is provided at the bottom end of the adjustable connecting structure, and the connecting socket is fixedly provided at the bottom inside the asphalt storage tank, and the adjustable connecting structure is limited and fixed by the setting of the connecting socket.

[0010] Preferably, the infrared rangefinder, display screen and temperature sensor are all electrically connected to a control panel, and the infrared rangefinder, display screen and temperature sensor are controlled by the control panel to be powered on and start working.

[0011] Preferably, an auxiliary handle is fixedly provided at the middle portion of the top end of the sealing plate, and the measuring device can be easily taken out by the provision of the auxiliary handle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. The floating plate always floats on the surface of the asphalt due to its own buoyancy, while the temperature sensor is always in contact with the asphalt, so as to facilitate real-time monitoring of the asphalt temperature. At the same time, an infrared rangefinder is used to detect the distance between the top of the asphalt storage tank and the floating plate, and then the distance between the top of the asphalt storage tank and the asphalt liquid surface. The larger the detected value, the less asphalt remaining. Conversely, the smaller the detected value, the more asphalt remaining. At the same time, the monitored asphalt temperature and asphalt remaining value are displayed in real time on the display screen for real-time observation by staff;

[0014] 2. By using a greater force to pull the auxiliary handle upward, the two limit blocks are separated from the two limit slots, and the adjustable connection structure is separated from the connection base, thereby facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the measuring device.

The floating plate 16 always floats on the surface of the asphalt due to its own buoyancy, and the temperature sensor 17 is always in contact with the asphalt to facilitate real-time monitoring of the asphalt temperature. At the same time, the infrared rangefinder 4 is used to detect the distance between the top of the asphalt storage tank 1 and the floating plate 16, and further the distance between the top of the asphalt storage tank 1 and the asphalt liquid level. The larger the detected value, the less asphalt remaining. Conversely, the smaller the detected value, the more asphalt remaining. At the same time, the monitored asphalt temperature and asphalt remaining value are displayed in real time on the display screen 7 to facilitate real-time observation by staff.

[0023] A guide groove 12 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the floating plate 16. A guide rod 8 is inserted into the guide groove 12 and is fixedly arranged on the side of the bottom end of the sealing plate 2 away from the infrared rangefinder 4. The cooperation between the guide rod 8 and the guide groove 12 ensures the stable up and down movement of the floating plate 16. Two limit slots 13 are provided at the connection between the placement slot 11 and the sealing plate 2. The two limit slots 13 are internally engaged with a limit block 14.

At this time, the two limit blocks 14 are engaged with the two limit slots 13. At this time, the floating plate 16 always floats on the surface of the asphalt due to its own buoyancy, and the temperature sensor 17 is always in contact with the asphalt, so as to facilitate real-time monitoring of the asphalt temperature.
