The anti-coagulation component 2 includes a mica heating plate 21, a heat dissipation plate 22, a guide rod 23, a floating plate 24 and a pushing member 25.

[0036] Thus, the resistance wire 211 in the mica heating disk 21 is energized, and the resistance wire 211 is used to generate heat, which is transferred to the mica heating disk 21 and the heat sink 22, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the storage tank body 1 and preventing the asphalt raw material from solidifying due to cooling. The asphalt raw material is then introduced into the storage tank body 1, and the asphalt raw material is pushed to move under the action of the pushing member 25, keeping the asphalt raw material in a moving state so that the asphalt raw material can better contact the heat sink 22.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, a solenoid valve 341 is installed in the liquid outlet pipe 34 , and the solenoid valve 341 is used to control the opening and closing of the liquid outlet pipe 34 .
[0045] The solenoid valve 341 is located in the middle of the liquid outlet pipe 34 . The solenoid valve 341 is opened to discharge the asphalt raw material in the sub-tank 32 .
[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the mica heating disk 21 is provided with a resistance wire 211 , and the resistance wire 211 is annularly coiled in the interlayer of the mica heating disk 21 .
[0047] Specifically, the mica heating plate 21 insulates the resistance wire 211 from the outer shell so that heat can be more effectively transferred to the surrounding area. The resistance wire 211 is coiled in circles in the interlayer of the mica heating plate 21 to increase the contact area between the resistance wire 211 and the mica heating plate 21.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, a limit ring 231 is installed on the top end of the guide rod 23 , and the limit ring 231 is used to constrain the upward position of the floating plate 24 .

[0051] Specifically, two buffer pads 241 are provided, and the buffer pads 241 are located between the floating plate 24 and the heat sink 22 to reduce the impact force of the floating plate 24 on the heat sink 22 when the floating plate 24 falls.
[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, strip grooves are processed in the heat dissipation plate 22, and the strip grooves are used to increase the heat exchange area between the heat dissipation plate 22 and the asphalt raw material.
[0053] The strip-shaped grooves in the heat sink 22 increase the heat exchange area between the heat sink 22 and the asphalt raw material, so as to maintain the temperature of the asphalt raw material.
[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the spoiler rods 254 are evenly distributed along the support frame 253 .
[0055] The spoiler rod 254 is cylindrical and is provided with a plurality of spoiler rods 254 . The plurality of spoiler rods 254 are used to stir the asphalt raw material so that the asphalt raw material is heated evenly.
[0056] The working principle of this application is described below with a preferred embodiment:
[0057] The asphalt raw material is introduced into the inner cavity of the storage tank body 1, and the resistance wire 211 in the mica heating plate 21 is energized. When the current passes through the resistance wire 211, the resistance wire 211 will heat up due to the effect of resistance, thereby generating heat. The heat is transferred to the mica heating plate 21 and the heat dissipation plate 22, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the storage tank body 1 and preventing the asphalt raw material from solidifying due to cooling. The external power supply of the motor 252 is turned on, and the motor 252 starts to work. The output shaft of the motor 252 drives the transmission shaft 251 to rotate in the floating plate 24 through the coupling, and then the support frame 253 The spoiler rod 254 is driven to rotate to promote the movement of the asphalt raw material so that the asphalt raw material is in full contact with the heat dissipation plate 22. As the asphalt raw material continues to enter the storage tank body 1, the float plate 24 moves up along the guide rod 23 along the top surface of the asphalt raw material. The float plate 24 is used to slow down the evaporation of heat in the storage tank body 1. When the float plate 24 moves to fit with the limit ring 231, the excess asphalt raw material enters the sub-tank 32 through the overflow pipe 31. The sub-tank 32 is used to store the excess asphalt raw material. By opening the solenoid valve 341, the asphalt raw material in the sub-tank 32 can be discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 34.

However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
