Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a testing device, in particular to an automatic bending device for a sample of an asphalt brittle point test. Background Art
[0002] The brittle point of asphalt refers to the temperature at which brittle fracture occurs when the asphalt is subjected to bending stress under constant cooling conditions of one degree per minute. The determination method is to evenly apply a 0.4g asphalt sample to a 41mm x 20mm metal sheet with a coating thickness of 0.5mm. The specimen is then cooled at a constant rate under standard test conditions and the sheet is slowly and repeatedly bent. The temperature at which one or more cracks appear in the asphalt coating due to cooling and bending is observed. This temperature is the asphalt's brittle point.
[0003] Testing for asphalt brittle spots requires a constant cooling test environment. Furthermore, a metal sheet coated with an asphalt sample, as specified in the standard, is bent once per minute, observing the temperature at which cracks appear. Within this minute, the bending process takes approximately 10 to 12 seconds from the start to the point of full bending. The sheet is then flattened within 50 to 48 seconds, and the next bending test begins.
[0004] According to the asphalt brittle point detection specifications, the metal sheet coated with asphalt sample is bent once per minute as required, which is a very critical step in asphalt brittle point detection.
[0005] At present, the general asphalt brittle point detection device is:
[0006] 1. The bending action of the metal sheet coated with the asphalt sample is made into a hand-cranked device, which is manually operated to bend and flatten the metal sheet.
[0007] 2. The time for bending the metal sheet and the time for flattening and waiting after bending are achieved by manual control.
[0008] 3. Only one sample is tested in each test.
[0009] According to the asphalt brittle point detection specifications, the same sample must be tested in parallel at least three times. The temperature must be raised to the same state as the first test in each test. The average of the three measured values with an error within 3°C is taken as the test result, and the integer is taken as the brittle point of the sample.
[0010] Defects and shortcomings:
[0011] 1. Since the metal sheet bending of the asphalt sample is completed by manual control, the control of the (10-12) second bending time varies not only from person to person, but even for the same person, there will be differences in the bending time each time, so there is a defect of inaccurate bending time control.
[0012] 2. Since the requirement of bending the metal sheet of the asphalt sample once per minute is completed by manual control, the distribution of bending and flattening time and the control of one minute will vary from person to person and from time to time, and there will be certain differences. Therefore, there is a defect of poor consistency in the one-minute control time and the bending, flattening and waiting actions within one minute.
[0013] 3. Since the constant cooling condition of the sample at one degree per minute is unchanged, the differences in the bending time of the sample metal sheets, the one-minute timing and the time distribution of each action are insufficient, which may affect the test results.
[0014] 4. Since the general brittle point test device tests one sample at a time, there is a disadvantage of low detection efficiency.
[0015] Therefore, developing an automatic bending device for asphalt brittle point test specimens has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

It can also load three samples at a time, and the brittle points of three samples can be tested in parallel in one test, thereby improving the efficiency of asphalt brittle point detection.

[0024] 2. The utility model has the advantages of simple operation and convenient use.
