Detailed Implementation
[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0022] See attached document Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a rapid heating system for base asphalt, including a heating tank 100. Support legs are fixed to both sides of the bottom of the outer wall of the heating tank 100. A steam box 230 is provided on the right side of the heating tank 100. The steam box 230 is provided to generate high-temperature steam, thereby heating the base asphalt. A conversion seat 240 is connected to the exhaust end of the outer wall of the steam box 230 via a pipe. A second air inlet pipe 241 is connected to the end of the conversion seat 240 near the heating tank 100. A first air inlet pipe 210 is connected to the top of the inner wall of the conversion seat 240. The conversion seat 240 is provided to divert the high-temperature steam, allowing it to be delivered to the insulation box 220 and the heating tank 100 respectively through the first air inlet pipe 210 and the second air inlet pipe 241.
[0023] A preheating component for preheating the base asphalt is installed on the upper left side of the steam box 230. The preheating component includes a support frame 200, with pillars fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the support frame 200. The support frame 200 is stepped, designed to support multiple insulation boxes 220. The stepped design creates a height difference between the insulation boxes 220, allowing the base asphalt to flow between the support frames and ultimately enter the heating tank 100 for heating. The top of the outer wall of the support frame 200 is equipped with a heat exchanger. The heat exchange chamber 220 has outer sleeves 250 installed at both ends of its inner wall. These outer sleeves 250 are for heat exchange between steam and the base asphalt, thus raising the temperature of the base asphalt. A feed pipe is connected to the right side of the outer wall of the rightmost heat exchange chamber 220, allowing personnel to add the base asphalt to be heated into the heat exchange chamber 220. A discharge pipe 221 connects adjacent outer sleeves 250, and each discharge pipe 221 is equipped with a solenoid valve. These solenoid valves are used to control the temperature of the base asphalt. The flow discharge pipe 221 causes obstruction. The left end of the leftmost insulation box 220 is connected to the top right side of the inner wall of the heating tank 100 through the discharge pipe 221. Heating pipes 251 are fixed to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 250. The outer wall of the heating pipe 251 is provided with a spiral air inlet groove 252. The heating pipe 251 is designed to store the base asphalt. In order to facilitate the flow of the base asphalt, the inner walls of both the heating pipe 251 and the discharge pipe 221 can be provided with a layer of alumina ceramic to reduce the friction between them and the base asphalt. The air inlet groove 252 is designed to allow hot steam to flow around the outer wall of the heating pipe 251, enabling the steam to exchange heat with the base asphalt. The outer sleeve 250 can seal the outer end of the spiral air inlet groove 252 to ensure the heat exchange effect between the base asphalt and the hot steam. The upper end of the first air inlet pipe 210 is connected to the bottom right side of the inner wall of the outer sleeve 250. An air outlet is provided on the top left side of the outer wall of the outer sleeve 250. A ventilation groove is provided on the top of the inner wall of the insulation box 220. The air outlet and ventilation groove are used to discharge the steam used for heat exchange.
[0024] The heating tank 100 is equipped with a heating component for heating the base asphalt. The heating component includes a heating coil 130, which is arranged around the inner wall of the heating tank 100. The heating coil 130 is a resistance wire heating tube, capable of heating the upper part of the inner wall of the heating tank 100 after power is applied. Bottom heaters 131 are fixed to both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the heating tank 100 to heat the bottom of the heating tank 100 after power is applied. Hollow spiral stirring blades 120 are rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the heating tank 100. The hollow spiral stirring blades 120 have a hollow structure, and their bottom ends are rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the heating tank 100. The hollow spiral stirring blades 120 can agitate the base asphalt during rotation. The second air inlet pipe 241, located away from the conversion seat 240, is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the hollow spiral mixing blade 120. An exhaust port is provided at the upper end of the hollow spiral mixing blade 120, located on the outer side of the top of the outer wall of the heating tank 100. A mixing motor 110 is installed at the top of the outer wall of the heating tank 100, corresponding to the position of the hollow spiral mixing blade 120. The bottom output shaft of the mixing motor 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow spiral mixing blade 120. The second air inlet pipe 241 can deliver hot steam to the interior of the hollow spiral mixing blade 120, allowing the hollow spiral mixing blade 120 to both mix and heat the base asphalt. The steam after heat exchange can be discharged through the exhaust port on the hollow spiral mixing blade 120.
[0025] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: First, personnel can add matrix asphalt into the outer sleeve 250 through the feed pipe, and the asphalt matrix will enter the heating tank 100 through the discharge pipe 221. After the addition is completed, personnel can close the solenoid valve of the discharge pipe 221 connected to the heating tank 100, and the matrix asphalt that continues to be transported will be temporarily stored in the heating pipe 251. After a certain amount is added, the transport of matrix asphalt will be stopped.
[0026] Simultaneously, personnel can power on the mixing motor 110, which drives the hollow spiral mixing blade 120 to rotate. The heating coil 130 and bottom heater 131 can be powered on to heat the base asphalt. The rotating hollow spiral mixing blade 120 can mix the base asphalt. At the same time, the steam box 230 can heat and generate high-temperature steam. The generated high-temperature steam will be transported to the conversion seat 240 through the air pump. Part of the steam will enter the spiral air inlet groove 252 through the first air inlet pipe 210, so that the high-temperature steam can preheat the base asphalt through the heating pipe 251. The other part of the high-temperature steam will enter the hollow spiral mixing blade 120 through the second air inlet pipe 241, so that the hollow spiral mixing blade 120 can also heat the base asphalt during the mixing process. The heated steam can be discharged through the exhaust pipe connected to the bottom of the heating tank 100. The preheated base asphalt will continue to flow into the heating tank 100 for further heating.
[0027] In this invention, personnel can monitor the temperature of the base asphalt by setting a temperature sensor, and the optimal amount of base asphalt added to the heating pipe 251 can be determined by personnel through multiple experiments.

Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
