Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of asphalt detection, in particular to a device for testing the high-temperature performance of asphalt mixture. Background Art

[0002] Asphalt wheel rolling testing primarily uses specialized testing equipment to simulate the effects of actual wheels on asphalt pavement. Asphalt samples are formed into plates of specified size and shape, placed on a test bench, and simulated wheels with a certain wheel load and tire pressure are rolled back and forth over the asphalt samples at a specified speed and frequency. This test directly reflects the asphalt pavement's ability to resist deformation under traffic loads, such as rutting resistance, which is related to pavement smoothness and driving comfort. From a durability perspective, it can also reveal the fatigue properties of asphalt under long-term wheel rolling and predict the pavement's service life. In terms of quality control, it is an effective means of verifying the rationality of asphalt mixture design and construction quality, ensuring the performance of the completed road, reducing subsequent maintenance costs, and ensuring safe and smooth road traffic.

[0003] However, this traditional asphalt wheel rolling test method has drawbacks. When a car passes quickly in cold weather, the friction between the tires and the road surface generates high heat, which this test method cannot simulate. Because asphalt itself becomes more brittle at low temperatures, the sudden high heat will cause the internal stress and strain state of the asphalt to become complex and changeable. This complex situation cannot be detected, which may lead to a misjudgment of the actual performance of the asphalt. At the same time, it cannot simulate the ingress of water vapor. Water vapor entering the asphalt pavement will affect the adhesion between the asphalt and the aggregate, weakening the structural strength of the pavement. The lack of water vapor in the test makes it impossible to accurately assess the asphalt pavement's ability to resist water damage in humid environments, and cannot reflect the actual performance of asphalt pavements in actual conditions such as after rain or in high humidity environments. This makes predictions about the pavement's service life and stability under such special conditions inaccurate, affecting the comprehensive and accurate assessment of asphalt quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology and to propose a high-temperature performance testing device for asphalt mixture. The designed high-temperature performance testing device for asphalt mixture can simulate the real scene of vehicles with different loads rolling over asphalt. At the same time, it can simulate the real scene of high heat generated by friction between tires and road surface when a car passes quickly in low temperature weather and hot air intrudes into the asphalt under the construction environment, making the performance test of asphalt more accurate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A high-temperature performance testing device for asphalt mixtures includes a testing machine, a drive assembly mounted on the rear side of the testing machine, screws mounted on both sides of the upper side wall of the testing machine, a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the testing machine and located outside the screws, the mounting bracket being provided with several groups of heating lamps, a solenoid valve mounted on the front side of the testing machine, an asphalt placement groove being provided on the surface of the testing machine, and a plurality of air holes distributed in a rectangular array on the asphalt placement groove;

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the asphalt to be tested is placed in an asphalt placement tank, and then several groups of heating lamps are started to heat the surface of the asphalt by the heating lamps, thereby simulating the impact of high temperature weather on the asphalt surface. Hot steam is then added to the bottom of the asphalt placement tank through a solenoid valve, and then the hot air penetrates into the asphalt through several pores. By passing the hot air into the asphalt, the change in the performance of the asphalt caused by the high temperature environment during construction is simulated. At the same time, low-temperature gas can also be passed into the asphalt through the pores. At this time, under the joint action of the heating lamps and the low-temperature gas, the upper and lower surfaces of the asphalt show an obvious temperature difference, thereby simulating the impact of a vehicle passing by quickly in low temperature weather on the asphalt.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes two pulleys, a driving motor and a driving belt, wherein the driving motor is mounted on the rear side wall of the detection machine, and the movable end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to one of the pulleys, and the driving belt is sleeved on the outer side walls of the two pulleys;

[0009] Through the above technical solution, one of the pulleys is driven by the driving motor and then the two pulleys are caused to rotate synchronously through the driving belt.

[0010] Furthermore, the two pulleys are connected to two screw rods respectively;

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the asphalt is rolled by sliding back and forth driven by the screw rod, so that the performance of the asphalt can be tested in a high temperature environment.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper side walls of the sliders of the two driving motors are fixedly connected with spring rods, the tops of the two spring rods are connected with spring tube racks through spring sleeves, and the middle position of the two spring tube racks is rotatably connected with a wheel;

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the slider drives the wheel to slide and roll on the asphalt surface. After the rolling is completed, the staff removes the asphalt and judges whether the asphalt meets the standards based on the surface condition of the asphalt.

[0014] Furthermore, a hydraulic cylinder is installed in the middle position of the mounting frame, the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the mounting frame and is connected to the connecting frame, and the bottom of the two side walls of the connecting frame are fixedly connected with a pressure plate, and the two pressure plates are respectively pressed against the upper side walls of the spring tube frame;

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder drives the connecting frame to descend, which in turn drives the pressure plate to press it tightly against the spring tube frame, and then drives the wheels to press tightly against the asphalt surface, thereby simulating the situation of vehicles with different loads driving on the asphalt road surface.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In the present invention, the surface of the asphalt is heated by a heating lamp, thereby simulating the effect of high temperature weather on the asphalt surface. Hot steam is then added to the bottom of the asphalt placement tank through a solenoid valve. The hot gas then penetrates into the asphalt through a number of pores. By introducing the hot gas into the asphalt, the change in the performance of the asphalt caused by the high temperature environment during construction is simulated. At the same time, low-temperature gas can also be introduced into the asphalt through the pores. At this time, under the combined action of the heating lamp and the low-temperature gas, the upper and lower surfaces of the asphalt show an obvious temperature difference, thereby simulating the effect of a vehicle passing by quickly on the asphalt in low temperature weather.

[0018] 2. In the present invention, the slider drives the wheels to slide and roll on the asphalt surface. After the rolling is completed, the staff removes the asphalt and judges whether the asphalt meets the standards based on the surface condition of the asphalt. The hydraulic cylinder drives the connecting frame to descend and then drives the pressure plate to press it tightly on the spring tube frame, and then drives the wheels to press tightly on the asphalt surface, thereby simulating the situation of vehicles with different loads driving on the asphalt road surface.
